Waterford announced as winner of Foodie Destinations 2019
Waterford has been announced as the winner of Foodie Destinations 2019, an initiative run the Restaurants Association of Ireland and kindly sponsored by FBD Insurance. Waterford was announced as the winner of the competition at a ceremony in Mount Juliet, in Kilkenny, where the 2019 Finalists had gathered to hear the winners of Foodie Destinations 2019. Votes from the public were combined with a score from a judging visit to decide the overall winner. Taste Causeway came in second place, and The Food Coast Donegal came in third place.
Speaking about the entry from Waterford, the judges said that they were blown away by how much effort the community had put in to making Waterford a real foodie experience. They said there was a great sense of community evident on their visit, with both big and small local companies getting involved. There was great local awareness, as well as pride and passion, for food and food tourism in the area. They enjoyed seeing chefs and producers working so closely together to provide the best experience possible for visitors to the area.
Donegal Town were also announced as the winning Foodie Town 2019. The Foodie Town Award is given to towns or villages where Tourism is a primary component of the local culture and economy. The judges said there was a great variety of dining experiences, in addition to the hospitality and knowledgeability of the locals, and they also thought it was a clever idea to use the platform of the Wild Atlantic Way to help them stand out as a place to visit.a
Speaking at the ceremony, CEO of the Restaurants Association of Ireland, Adrian Cummins said "I'd like to offer a massive congratulations to Waterford. It's clear that a huge amount of time and effort has gone into making it a foodie destination worth visiting and it is clear that it is a very co-ordinated effort run by people who are passionate about food in Waterford. I'd also like to congratulate the other finalists: it's not easy to get this far, and all of the applications were very impressive. Each and every finalist should be very proud of getting so far."
Patrick Carey, Business Development Manager in FBD Insurance said, "FBD Insurance are once again proud to sponsor the Foodie Destinations Award in 2019. The spirit of the Irish agri-food business is thriving and we are delighted to be associated with an event that nurtures, supports and champions the stellar work and high quality food that is produced from local, Irish communities and businesses. Like many of the businesses and groups involved in the Foodie Destination awards, our commitment is to the local communities and businesses that we work alongside as a partner in their business success.
Yet again this year, the competition and quality of the entrants has been extremely strong. The passion and pride of each entrant shines through and represents what it truly means to be a Foodie Destination and importantly – proudly Irish.
I would like to congratulate Waterford as the winner of Foodie Destination 2019, Donegal as Foodie Town of the year and all the finalists on their outstanding efforts in this competition and continued contribution to the Irish agri-food business."
Masterpieces in Glass – an exciting new installation at the Bishop's Palace
Building on the success of recent imaginative attractions in Waterford, the Bishop's Palace is about to become home to an original and innovative visitor experience on early glassmaking in Waterford.
The new re-enactor tour will be led by Susannah Penrose, granddaughter of one of the original founders of the Penrose Glass Factory. Her mother, Elizabeth Penrose's beautiful shell cabinet, featuring a menagerie of delicate glass animals, was returned to Waterford City in 2014 and now forms the centrepiece of the exhibition as a direct link to the family. The museum itself has been revamped in recent weeks, with new installations of delicate glassware, fine silver and exotic porcelain to give visitors a real taste of the wealth and finery of upper-class eighteenth-century living.
The finale of the tour will feature a seventeen minute 4D presentation created by Emagine in association with Waterford Treasures – a partnership which has, in the past, led to the hugely successful King of the Vikings, Waterford's most popular visitor attraction. Here, Elizabeth Penrose will take over from her daughter to continue telling the story of their family, and the foundation of the glassworks. The exhibition promises to bewitch and enthral visitors, taking them on a journey across the history of glassmaking in Waterford, featuring some familiar faces along with some new ones. The experience will immerse guests in the culture of eighteenth and nineteenth century Waterford, through the eyes of a young Quaker girl who witnessed the burgeoning economic and creative prosperity of the city first-hand.
The exhibition was officially opened by John Halligan TD, Minister of State for Training and Skills. The opening day featured a summer cocktail reception, and two short lectures on early and modern glassmaking in Waterford City before visitors experienced the new installations at the Bishop's Palace. Dr. Audrey Whitty, Head of Collections and Learning at the National Museum of Ireland spoke about the Penroses and their lasting legacy in the city, while Dr. John M. Hearne discussed the master craftsmen of the twentieth century and the impact the modern Glass factory has over modern Waterford. The day was a celebration of generations of glassmakers in the city, their work and their lives, and of that fine craft which put Waterford on the international map.

Sunshine and bluegrass draw record crowds to the 25th Dunmore East Bluegrass Festival
Under blue skies, the village of Dunmore East was the picture-perfect backdrop to the 25th Dunmore East Bluegrass Festival, the four-day festival of free banjo pickin', foot tappin' mandolin' pluckin', barnstormin', step dancin' fiddle playin', double bass clawin' bluegrass, Americana, country and roots sessions.
Now in its twenty fifth year, the festival attracts some of the biggest names on the bluegrass scene and this year the festival also featured a wide range of young and vibrant UK and Irish bluegrass, roots, rockabilly and country talent, which didn't disappoint the large crowds.
The line-up of 11 acts played almost 40 free gigs throughout the four-day festival and audiences were introduced to Nashville's Liz Moriondo, embarking on her first ever Irish tour and on the receiving end of a warm Irish welcome.
The musical talent came from far and wide as The 19th Street Band, with roots in Arlington, Virginia rocked Dunmore East and were a huge hit with their vibrant, high- energy performances.
The Dunmore East Bluegrass festival has been running every year since 1995. Festival Organiser, Mick Daly, was delighted with the attendance, the reaction to the festival and the artists performing this year.
"It was a fantastic festival with our biggest numbers ever. The music acts got a warm and rapturous welcome wherever they played, and the weather couldn't have been better. We're lucky to have such a scenic setting for the festival with so many visitors remarking on the beauty of the village."
"After 25 years the festival is still attracting big-name bluegrass and roots acts. Pilgrim St, Lands End, Mons Wheeler and Charlie Reader have performed here several times and love coming back to Dunmore East. And we love them returning as they bring something special to the festival each year."
The festival was officially opened by Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. John Pratt on Thursday evening at the Strand Inn followed by performances from Liz Moriondo and Kiss My Grass.
"The support from visitors who travelled far and wide to the festival was wonderful and they turned out in their droves over the weekend to see, hear and experience some great musical talent. Local businesses and the community are invaluable in their support and this year, we were grateful, to once again receive funding from Waterford City and County Council. The festival is run on a voluntary basis and without this support we wouldn't be in a position to keep bringing great bluegrass, Americana and rockabilly music to Dunmore East."
Mick added, "Back in the day, the festival primarily appealed to bluegrass purists, however each year the remit broadens and whilst the festival is still as popular with hardened roots music fans, it also appeals to anyone who enjoys a great old style, toe-tappin' tune. That was clearly in evidence by the immense number of people that came to Dunmore East over the Bluegrass weekend."

These talented producers usually gather each month in Tramore and showcase their local home-made, handmade, eco-ethical products and the Pop-Up Market will give visitors and locals an opportunity to meet the makers and hear about their creations and the inspiration behind them.
Food, the Waterford Way Market at the Apple Market on Sunday, September 8th is another chance to meet the people behind great food and discover new taste experiences as a wide range of demos will be on offer from Waterford's diverse food community.
Richie Walsh, Head of Enterprise with Local Enterprise Office Waterford is delighted to support these two key events. "Waterford is renowned for its hard-working, talented and passionate producers. Waterford Harvest Festival is fantastic platform for these creative and dedicated food and craft producers to showcase the very best of what they do. The Copper Coast Pop-Up Market will give traders a great opportunity to be front and centre at the Harvest Festival."
"The Love Local Lunch is always a hugely popular event. It's not only because of the quality of the lunch, but because of the calibre of speakers.

WIT experiences rise in demand for part-time programmes with 300+ increase in one year
Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) has seen a 363 rise in part-time students from 2017/2018 to 2018/2019 according to the latest audited Higher Education Authority (HEA) SRS Returns.
The number of students studying WIT's part-time and online courses increased to 1650 in 2018, a 28% increase on 2017.
Neil Quinlan, Head of the Department of Lifelong Learning says more and more adult learners and employers see the value in continuous learning.
"We are delighted to see an increase in our overall flexible and part-time student numbers as well as students of our online courses. The institute has placed a major emphasis on flexible and part-time learning over the last number of years with a focus on supporting industry needs through bespoke and flexible course delivery. It's not too late to enquire about courses starting this September. Applications for 2019 can be made until late August and WIT staff are on hand to talk through the application process."
WIT's upcoming open evening on Wednesday, 21 August (5pm-7pm) will give adults who are considering a change of career, upskilling or climbing the career ladder a chance to find out how they can benefit from a course.
"Lifelong learning is a mainstream activity of all academic departments at WIT," explains Quinlan. "Our part-time courses are integrated with academic schools and departments and are of solid academic quality. This is important not just to our students but in many cases their employers who support their return to education."
WIT has built a strong reputation in the delivery of business courses and this extends into its part-time portfolio. In addition, the demand for engineering personnel has resulted in engineering courses with flexible delivery.


Former FBI director James Comey said Monday that there's "zero chance" that Hillary Clinton will ever be prosecuted for her misuse of a private email server.
The Trump foe was speaking at a town hall in Sarasota, FL, where he said that the FBI under his lead had no bias in favor of Clinton, the facts simply didn't support charges against her.
"There is zero chance, zero chance, on the facts in the Clinton case, that she would be prosecuted," Comey said.
Trump allies have long criticized Comey's handling of the Clinton email case over his apparently biased and premature decision to exonerate Clinton. Comey authored a draft memo clearing Clinton that pre-dates his July 2016 interview with the former presidential candidate.
Moreover, at least two agents on the case, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, exchanged vicious anti-Trump text messages that critics say showed bias which may have tainted the probe. But Comey claimed at the Monday town hall event that there was nothing untoward about the bureau's decision-making under his wing.
Despite that finding, Comey ended up publicly exonerating Clinton of any statutory wrongdoing in July 2016, even as he admitted that "this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences." Comey later made a stunning about-face when his agents discovered another batch of Clinton emails on the laptop of disgraced former New York representative Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
Comey briefly reopened the investigation into Clinton's emails two weeks before election day only to close the inquiry again days before voters went to the polls. Clinton has since blamed Comey, along with Russian trolls and miscellaneous causes, for her election upset.
Trump and his allies have accused the Justice Department under Comey of rigging its investigations into Clinton and Trump in favor of the Democrat. While there was apparently nothing unusual about the FBI and DOJ's decision to not prosecute Clinton, the agencies sought warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to spy on an unassuming Trump campaign worker, Carter Page, on the basis of an unverified Russian dossier paid for by the Clinton campaign.
Trump has often attacked the Justice Department for not prosecuting Clinton aggressively while going after him and his associates with a political "Witch Hunt" investigation. In August, Trump threatened that he "may have to get involved!" after a report emerged that the FBI glossed over tens of thousands of Clinton's emails because of a glitch.
Trump has also often attacked Clinton, to whom he has referred as "Crooked Hillary" or even simply "Crooked," over the email controversy and threatened to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her at one of their presidential debates. Although Comey said there's "zero chance" of Clinton facing charges, watchdog groups like Judicial Watch have continued the pursuit and a federal judge recently ruled that Clinton has more questions to answer about the scandal, the Daily Caller reported.
Trump fired Comey in May 2017, triggering the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller to oversee the investigation of alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. Comey has claimed that Trump pressured him to make a pledge of loyalty to him, a story he repeated at the town hall.
"An effective leader never asks for loyalty," Comey said.
Comey also made his transformation into a political celebrity sound like something he didn't really want on Monday. Though he's not exactly known for keeping his views to himself, Comey said that he would have rather stayed out of the media spotlight, but that he had to answer the call of duty to speak out against Trump in glossy studios and on book tour stops.

Prospective Supplier Cannot Register Without Providing Tax Registration Number, Taxpayer Id, Or Duns Number.
You are required to provide at least one of the following ID's: Taxpayer ID, Tax Registration Number or Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number.
During prospective supplier registration, is it possible to not require values entered in the fields Taxpayer ID, Tax Registration Number, and DUNS Number?
Taxpayer ID was hidden using personalization; however, not all suppliers have a Tax Registration Number or DUNS Number to provide instead.
Workaround: customer including training on their company website to show suppliers how to locate or get a DUNS number if they don't have one.
While customer is utilizing the training workaround, this is less efficient for suppliers and may even prevent some from registering. Also, if the supplier is unable to provide the fields, then customer would have to register the supplier using a completely manual process.


Presentation will illustrate the criticality of Resilience (Incident Management, Business Continuity, and Disaster Recovery planning) and highlight the pivotal role of Risk Management to ensure all angles are covered when the time comes. A disruption to our business doesn't necessarily equate to a natural disaster anymore. It can take many forms: equipment failure, application failure, human error, malicious software attacks, blackouts, fire, or even workplace violence. These may occur anytime, so we need to be prepared to minimize the disruption and keep personnel safe and our business competitive. Continuing our business is dependent on planning, communication, and coordination – all key functions of our Program Management Organization. Issues in these areas include (but are not limited to): safety, identification of critical assets, processes and personnel, established command structure / roles and responsibilities, managed communications and training, testing, exercising, and continual improvement. How does Verisign leverage the risk register as a tool to make decisions and REACT, RESPOND, RECOVER in case of a critical incident? The PMO has developed an integrated tool to help us assess those areas of risk and facilitate contingency plans. The goal is to facilitate an integrated approach to ensure that critical processes continue to function during and after a disaster or incident that interrupts the operation of the organization. The key message is that business disruptions (i.e., Bad Things) will happen and we need to be prepared to respond accordingly – it is going from the total chaos at the moment of disaster to flawless execution in the face of adversity.

Here's Why This Girl Thinks Everyone Should Stop Bashing Ahad-Momina Duo For "Ko Ko Korina"

From the past 10 years, Coke Studio has set the standards really very high and raised the music to the next level of capacity. We all have loved it for many of its masterpieces like Banwre and Baazi by Shuja and Aima, Tera Wo Pyar by Momina and Asim, Bewajah by Nabeel Shaukat Ali, Tajdar e Haram by Atif Aslam and other great pieces of art by the legend Abida Parveen and many others which I cannot list here right now.
We all literally used to wait for 'Coke Studio' every year to have a treat in the form of such magnificent music. We have been appraising our songs and the artists so much but when it comes to admiring or insulting the Pakistani talent, we are the ones in doing it!
Almost 3 days back, Ahad Raza Mir and Momina Mustehsan paid tribute to the 1960's masterpiece "Ko Ko Korina" in the 9th episode of Coke Studio 11. As we all know that the original Ko Ko Korina is not just a song, it's a feeling for all of us. It not only got popular in 1966 when it was filmed on the fine-looking Waheed Murad, but its popularity never came down after that. This is the song we all have enjoyed in our cars, cassette players, Mp3 players, CD players and now our cell phones. We all have sung this song on Dholkee, Guitar and even during the long trips with troops; the signature clap of KoKoKorina always brings back the classic sentiments.

After the Coke Studio version aired on the television and got released on the internet, an unnecessary hype was created and the whole social media started criticizing it. It seemed like everyone was in the search of something to use their inner extremism and all they got was "KO KO KORINA". Boom!! I listened to the song and yes I agree that the song is not as good and attractive as we were expected it to be but why we always push everything towards thrill? If we adore someone we do it with enthusiasm and when we think to put someone down we make sure that the bashing gets done SKILLFULLY.
It seems like the memes makers and the page admins were waiting for something to shine their business to get the maximum number of comments and like because obviously Hamari Awam Tou Jazbaati Hai. Each and every one is jumping into it like it's obligatory to play their part in this fierce criticism. Even our politicians and son of the great Waheed Murad are here too in this campaign against the Coke studio version of the song.
If we did not like the song, we could have rejected it with grace and respect by commenting "They could not make it big, better luck next time". But NAHIIII… hum ney to social media pey raita phelana hai naa! Everybody ridiculed the singers and music directors in the way as insulting them will make us prettier, richer and healthier. Why do we do that? I think because of the inner satisfaction and the pleasure we get when somebody else gets hurt.
Scream Queens Wiki – Fandom
Kya Apko Pata Hai? Ridiculing young talent shatters their confidence and they won't be able to stand again and strive for better results. Please try to take part in constructive criticism. This is our nation and Coke Studio is our sound. Why do we start disowning something when it is not at its best? They did effort for this song but unfortunately, it could not attract all of us because actually the original was far more amazing. How many of us have not faced such failures in life? How many of us strived but did not get the expected feedback and get failed despite the consistent hard work? How many of us have not faced such aggressive and brutal criticisms in our own area of work?
Same happened with Ahad and Momina!! They are INSAAN too! Stop this now and stop wasting time on making these mocking and teasing memes and think rationally about the fact that making fun of someone won't make us good.
AB MERI BAARI HAI SHAYAD! Now everyone reading this article will start bashing me as well. Sab se Pehle tou, they will call me Ahad's fan or uskay baad a supporter of parchi system. Whereas, I am a simple girl and an environmentalist. I have nothing to do with the media industry and not a die-hard fan of any one of them. But I think that we all should raise our voices for "Social media ethics". What TASKEEN does this bashing gives us? It's useless. Filter your thoughts and omit the useless ones PLEASE!
Enjoy being on social media, but don't enjoy for being the reason of ridiculing someone's failure. Make someone's Life rather than breaking someone's heart. SHUKRIYA!

The acting legend (and father of Michael Douglas) crossed the century mark on December 9, 2016. Here's a look back at his biggest roles in Hollywood.
Champion (1949) Douglas earned his first Oscar nomination for playing the dogged boxer Midge Kelly in a black-and-white drama written by Carl Foreman ("High Noon").
Ace in the Hole (1950) In one of Billy Wilder's most cynical dramas, Douglas plays a ruthless journalist who exploits a mining disaster -- even sabotaging rescue efforts -- to prolong the media frenzy.
The Bad and the Beautiful (1951) He earned his second Oscar nomination playing another cad -- this time a power-obsessed Hollywood producer said to be modeled on David O. Selznick.
Lust for Life (1956) In a departure from his cynical big-screen roles, Douglas brought real sympathy to his portrayal of tortured artist Vincent Van Gogh in Vincente Minnelli's biopic -- and the actor earned his third Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957) Douglas plays outlaw Doc Holliday to Burt Lancaster's lawman Wyatt Earp in John Sturges' classic Western about the famed shootout in Tombstone, Arizona.
Paths of Glory (1957) Again playing against type in Stanley Kubrick's antiwar movie, Douglas brims with decency as a French colonel in World War I who fights against an unfair court martial of his men.
Spartacus (1960) Douglas hit a career high as a rebellious Roman slave in this historical drama whose onscreen revolt had a real-life parallel. The actor also produced the blockbuster film and his very public hiring of screenwriter Dalton Trumbo helped to break Hollywood's blacklist of Communists.
Lonely Are the Brave (1962) Douglas counted this Dalton Trumbo-penned Western as his personal favorite, and he gave a memorable performance as a New Mexico cowboy who was more of a drifter than a guy rooted in the land.
Seven Days in May (1964) In John Frankenheimer's political thriller, Douglas plays a longtime military officer who begins to suspect that his nuke-obsessed general boss (Burt Lancaster) may be plotting to overthrow the president.
The Man From Snowy River (1982) Douglas plays twin brothers -- a one-legged gold prospector and a wealthy cattle rancher -- in George Miller's coming-of-age drama about a ranch hand in 1880s Australia.

Ansys to acquire Analytical Graphics for $700 million
Ansys just announced that it will acquire Analytical Graphics (AGI), maker of electronics simulation solutions for space applications, for a whopping $700 million, 2/3 of which will be paid in cash and the rest, through the issuance of Ansys common stock. To assemble the cash portion, Ansys plans to obtain new debt financing. For those of you keeping track, Ansys says that AGI "will add $75 million to $85 million of non-GAAP revenue to its 2021 results and will be modestly accretive to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share". Many accounting things implied in that sentence, but I think considering the purchase price a 10x revenue multiple isn't too far off.
Ansys says, "the acquisition will expand the scope of Ansys' solution offering, empowering users to solve challenges by simulating from the chip now all the way to a customers' entire mission – like tracking an orbiting satellite and its periodic connection to ground stations." CEO Ajay Gopal adds, "Ansys' acquisition of AGI will help drive our strategy of making simulation pervasive from the smallest component now through a customer's entire mission. It will also expand the use of simulation in the key aerospace sector, where the stakes can be at their highest levels."
My take: AGi's space-related orbital and other niche simulations are only part of the story. AGI also offers something it calls "digital mission engineering", which AGI defines as " enabling a system integrator to redirect work from physical systems to their logical representations". it's a systems-based approach that's underpinned by mission-specific tools and practices. For example, if you're designing an aircraft system, AGI offers simulation, yes, but in the context of flight operations and aircraft performance, so the designer doesn't have to (re)create that every single time. AGI says this can "shorten development cycles, streamline sustainment efforts, and enhance situational awareness. Connect model-based engineering to our mission analysis platform and achieve unrivaled speed". AGI offers similar capabilities for missile systems, space systems, and more. I could see Ansys expanding this concept to its other industry verticals.
We're going to learn more about the logic behind the acquisition at Ansys' earnings call next week. Ansys expects the acquistion to close in Q4 2020.

When Your Social is Hateful
If 5 years ago we told you that Congress would question Facebook, Twitter, and Google regarding their roles in Russia's election manipulation to ultimately elect Donald Trump as US President, you would've told us to stop writing fiction. Yet, here we are! It was revealed that as many as 126 million Americans may have seen some of the 80,000 pieces of Russia-created content on Facebook and 2,752 Twitter accounts have been linked to Russian propaganda (check out some of them) . Much of this content was aimed at exploiting existing social and political divisions in the country, though they seemed to be curiously absent of Harambe memes (don't google those). While the focus on foreign interference in the election is merited, it shouldn't distract us from the bigger problem: Russian trolls using insidious impersonations and venomous propaganda were only able to blend into our timelines undetected because our social networks already allow hate to get organized there. That's why we joined other civil rights organizations in calling on Facebook not only to fully disclose all of the activities on their platform that trace back to Russian operatives, but also to work with us to meaningfully counter the impact of hate campaigns on their platform (you can read our full letter here).


The Anatolian Shepherd is guaranteed to keep you, your family, and your property safe, because this is one animal that takes its responsibility seriously. Here is more information about this breed.
The Anatolian Shepherd originated in ancient Mesopotamia around 6,000 years ago, after which it was taken to Turkey. Once there, it was widely-used for guarding the nomads' sheep. As it was a big dog with big bones and a lot of muscle, it was perfect for this job. It was used more for guarding and protecting the sheep instead of herding them.
In the fifties, America discovered this breed and fell in love with it, exporting it from Turkey. It set up a proper breeding program to get this breed out of the wild job it did in Turkey, and into the less dangerous job of guarding homes and families.
Males should be between 28 to 30 inches (71 to 76 cm) tall at the shoulders, and females should be between 26 to 28 inches (66 to 71 cm) tall. The weight of males should be between 100 to 150 pounds (45 to 65 kg), and that of females should be between 90 to 130 pounds (40 to 60 kg).
The double coat is short and rough, but is longer at the neck and tail. It is generally white in color with a black patch on the muzzle. Other coat colors that are accepted are white, pinto, and brindle. Ears are triangular in shape and may be cropped. The tail is high-set and long.
Eyes are medium-sized and almond-shaped. The eye color can vary from dark-brown to light-amber. Eye rims are black except in dogs that have a liver-colored coat, wherein they are brown, the same color as the nose. This dog is very proportional and muscular.
This breed is extremely independent because of its original purpose of guarding. Thus, this dog has a mind of its own. It needs an owner who can consistently assert that he/she is the boss and that the dog should listen to him/her, otherwise it can be a real handful.
This dog needs intensive socialization from an early age to make it companionable with people and other animals. Although it is intelligent and a quick-learner, training can be a bit of a problem. Thus, it is important to put this dog through some obedience training.
This breed is prone to hypothyroidism and entropion. It also has sensitivity to anesthesia. Although hip dysplasia does occur in this breed, it is not that common. This dog takes a longer time to develop its immunity as compared to other breeds. The life expectancy is 12 to 15 years.
It is not suitable for apartment living and needs at least a small yard to run around. It needs daily long walks apart from this yard exercise. It is inactive indoors and gets bored easily. It needs a job to do.
A fence that is at least 5 feet tall keeps the dog at a distance from strangers. It is required because this breed tends to be suspicious of people it does not know.
This breed does not require much grooming, except in the shedding season which comes twice a year. That is the only time that this dog sheds heavily. Otherwise, the coat requires minimal maintenance.
The Anatolian Shepherd is an excellent guard dog which is very good for protecting the home. However, it needs a little work like socialization and obedience training, to turn it into a good house pet. Only get this dog if it is possible for you to give it time.

Colombia to auction 113 oil blocks in 2012
Colombia, Latin America's fourth largest oil producer, plans to auction off 113 oil blocks with a total area of 38.5 million acres, the National Hydrocarbons Agency said Wednesday.
Colombia's oil sector has been the main driver behind foreign direct investment over the last decade, boosting economic growth and export revenues after years of declining crude oil production in the late 1990s.
Next year the country will auction 102 onshore blocks, mainly in the central region, and 11 blocks in the Caribbean, the agency said in a presentation published on its website.
Contracts will be divided up into exploration and production and technical evaluation. Companies should present documents from April 11 to June 8, it said, with adjudication of the blocks and contract signing taking place in November and December.
After years of slow decline, oil output has ramped up to historic highs of 950,000 barrels per day, as better security aiding greater exploitation of heavy crude areas in addition to incremental production at existing fields.

Analysis: Trump and Seattle
Saeed Okasha, Friday 19 Jun 2020
Both the political left and the political right are in dangerous territory in the United States, with both adopting rhetoric that could threaten the union
A mural at Union Square in New York City (photo: AFP)
It is not the first time that angry protesters and activists on social media demand autonomy for their cities or states. Before Seattle protesters made the demand recently in protest over the murder of George Floyd last month, some in California were demanding sovereignty in protest of Donald Trump winning the White House in 2016. President Trump retorted in anger at events in Seattle, accusing the radical left in the Democratic Party of spearheading these calls. He tweeted: "Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle, run by Radical Left Democrats, of course. Law and order." He also warned: "Take back your city now. If you don't do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly anarchists must be stopped [sic] immediately. move fast." He was addressing Washington Governor Jay Inslee and Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, whom he said were playing a risky game, unlike any other in the history of the US.
Trump's agitation is justifiable. If these calls for autonomy were made by protesting anarchists, they would have no impact on Trump. However, they came from officials in government positions — whether elected or not. This pushes grave political divisions in the US since Barack Obama's tenure to disturbing depths. But why are there calls for autonomy, or what anarchists call self-rule by the street, without oversight? And what will Trump do to carry out his threat to end calls for autonomy if the governor and mayor cannot, or decide to join the autonomy demand?
The US Constitution does not contain language that allows any state to hold a referendum among locals asking if they want to stay or leave the federation of the United States, therefore the only path to autonomy will be through violence and combat. In 2011, anarchists attempted this during the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York, which resulted in extensive violence. In the wealthy state of California, which is also a Democrat stronghold, some party activists and radical left dissidents such as ANTIFA mobilised protesters to demand autonomy for California after Trump took the presidency in 2016. They called it Calexit, meaning exit of California inspired by the term Brexit used for Britain's exit from the EU.
Calexit was very popular on Twitter and the movement's leaders called for a state-wide referendum in 2019 for California to become autonomous if the results were in favour. Trump was not too upset back then because it was a call by activists, not California officials, and the constitution does not give these rights to States in the Union. The recent call could have passed without much notice but the similarity today between anarchists who want to overthrow all powers by any means and officials in government positions is disturbing. These similarities can soon greatly challenge the US, since this new unprecedented trend may not stop at protesting Trump's presidency — who has a unique style of governance — but will extend to become a staple means of protest in the US. The lack of trust in political institutions, including the two major parties, Republicans and Democrats, has opened the floodgates for radical groups at both ends of the spectrum to lead the streets towards violence and calls for autonomy.
Even more dangerous is that Democrats do not understand the catastrophic outcome of flirting with radical leftist groups. Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi exaggerated her pandering to those leading the violence on the street by supporting the destructive attacks on statues from a bygone era, demanding that 11 statues of confederate soldiers be removed from Capitol Hill. In a letter to the Joint Committee on the Library, Pelosi said: "Monuments to men who advocated cruelty and barbarism to achieve such a plainly racist end are a grotesque affront to the ideals of democracy and freedom." She added that statues of men who participated in a failed secession war during the Civil War must be removed. "I believe that there is no room for celebrating the violent bigotry of the men of the Confederacy in the hallowed halls of the United States Capitol or places of honour across the country," she wrote.
Pelosi was not just pandering to anarchists and their supporters for electoral reasons, but indirectly oppressing many Americans, especially White Americans, who take pride in their country's history without necessarily adopting the same racist ideals of that bygone era. This all adds fuel to the ongoing fire of division in the US which will gradually evolve from a political fissure to an ethnic chasm.
Democrats believe in removing Trump in the upcoming elections by any means, even if it results in political and social catastrophe in the country. Some commentators in the US media point out how Democrats manipulate slogans according to occasion. For example, in Newsweek on 12 June, Boris Epshteyn wrote an opinion piece titled "Democrats' hypocrisy on riots reveals political nature of coronavirus lockdowns." He noted how Democrats defend the shutdown of the economy to contain the Covid-19 pandemic and condemn protests calling for lifting the lockdown and restarting business, claiming these protests are not freedom of expression but a violation of the right of Americans to protect against the pandemic. Meanwhile, they defend protests led by left-wing groups denouncing anti-racism, as if these protests do not threaten the safety of Americans in a pandemic. Preventing these protests is seen as an assault on the First Amendment.
Meanwhile, Trump is using risky methods in facing his adversaries, including attempting to involve the military in political quarrels. It seemed that when he threatened the governor and mayor that he had means to end calls for autonomy, he was referring to using the army to quash these calls if they continue or evolve into a threat of domestic unrest. Trump already knows that Defence Secretary Mark Esper opposes using the military against protesters after the president suggested they intervene to stop rioting after Floyd's death. Also, General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, expressed his regret for appearing in uniform in a photo op with Trump during a stroll around the White House to show he is in control in Washington DC after clashes two weeks ago.
Trump's actions were an exaggerated response to anarchist calls for autonomy in Washington and Seattle, even though they pose a serious threat in the near future. Also, the hasty call on the army to become involved in political conflicts can be manipulated by Democrats to portray the matter as a clear violation of the US Constitution, and a serious threat to the checks and balances of power in the United States. This could seriously hurt Trump at a time when the race for re-election is approaching quickly.

Agnès Varda, Jr., Jeannine Carpentier et al.
DVD: 89 min., Blu-ray: 92 min.
Iconic film maker Agnes Varda and photographer JR share a passion for images and how they're created, displayed and shared; Varda through cinema. JR through his emotionally arrested outdoor installations. Inspired by this connection, they set out in JR's photo booth-enhanced truck, exploring the villages and small towns of rural France and meeting its humble residents - all the while creating large-scale portraits plastered across unconventional locations. What follows is a heart-warming insight into unnamed communities, documented here in Varda's typically playful and tender manner. A Cannes Film Festival award-winner and Oscar nominee, 'Faces Places' is a deeply charming and life-affirming look at not only the subtle power of community, but the inspiration that comes from the most cross-generational of friendships.
A playful but profound record of a collaboration between veteran film director Agnes Varda and the photographer JR.
It feels as if the film has been put together from a random assortment of encounters in (mainly) rural France, though there is also a leisurely sense of a coherent journey.
The huge b/w images they produce are magnificent in themselves, and the accompanying interviews only add to the impact.
The interplay between Varda and JR is full of charm and teasing humour, with an interesting filmic twist at the end (no spoiler here!).
A documentary of a collaboration between two artists separated greatly in age whose project to record rural France in portrait photographs becomes something much wider, about understanding, creativity, humanity and history. The device of printing huge portrait images and pasting them on the buildings with which the subjects were associated - their workplaces, derelict homes etc - becomes a way of presenting passing time, memory, or political statement.

Documentary Reviews
Mining the rich seam of nostalgia we all have for iconic sporting moments, The Fall**** deconstructs the confluence of events that lead to Mary Decker and Zola Budd coming together in the 3000 metre final of the 1984 LA Olympics.
I remember the race so clearly, the anguish on Mary Decker's face when she fell and the way Zola just faded away into the pack, "like a deflated balloon", as the journalist Neil Wilson puts it. I remember the whole Olympics so well, including the opening ceremony – including the guy with the jet pack. Why haven't we all got jet packs these days?
However, Daniel Gordon's film carefully pieces history together so we once again feel the exact tensions and turmoil of that moment. Better still, he traces the ripples of that tumble right to the present day to complete a picture and instil it with the fragility of human life.
I won't describe the jigsaw of these two lives here. Better to concentrate on how the film works its emotional arc and places a structure on the randomness of life which can forge an event out of the most disparate stories. How did an all-American girl in bunches and braces came to have her life (and legs) entwined with the spindly, withdrawn barefoot runner from a farm in Bloemfontein in apartheid-riven South Africa?
Throughout it all run different agendas, from that of Decker's own drive to succeed, to that of the Daily Mail journalists who bought Budd's story and the politicians who rushed her British citizenship through so she could run for team GB alongside Daley Thompson and Sebastian Coe. What a story.
The film becomes about ambition, pride, grief and trauma. It looks into the soul of two people who'd never met, who came together in a brief moment that shocked the world, then went their separate ways to recover. It took 30 years for them to do so, and you can feel the sadness in their souls still, even as they talk here of catharsis and closure.
The reunion at the end is one of the most emotional moments I've ever seen in a sports documentary. As former US coach Brooks Johnson says of the '84 LA Olympics: "We knew it was going to be Hollywood". But it's real life – and real sport – that sometimes write the best storylines.

Little legends to strike right note at the Capital One Cup Final
Capital One have recruited the London Youth Choir to perform ahead of Sunday's Capital One Cup Final at Wembley.
Thirty talented vocalists from the London Youth Choir have been signed up by Capital One to sing the National Anthem and kick-off proceedings for the all-London Final between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday 1st March.
To ensure the performance is pitch-perfect, the credit card company has also teamed up with Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson. Currently starring as a judge on The Voice, Ricky will help the Little Legends warm up their vocal chords and cope with any pre-match nerves as they prepare to perform at Wembley.
Capital One teamed up with the choir as part of its Little Legends campaign, which celebrates the power football can have on a child's imagination. It will give the children the opportunity, aged between seven and 12, to take centre stage in front of 90,000 fans and a global television audience of millions.
The London Youth Choir, a registered charity, has representation across 33 of London's boroughs, and after regular rehearsals is set to provide a fitting start to the first all-London League Cup Final since 2008. The choir formed in 2012 to provide the capital's young singers with a world-class choral education. It has a vision to be able to provide bursaries for any members from low-income families to ensure that cost does not prevent any student from being a part of the group. The total choir has 200 singers ranging from seven to 21 years, with the 30 children participating at Wembley coming from their 'Junior Rank.'
Ricky Wilson said: "I've been fortunate to play at some amazing venues with Kaiser Chiefs, and Wembley is always special. It's great to see Capital One supporting the London Youth Choir, there's no doubting the Little Legends will give it their all and entertain the fans on the day"
Jason Carr, head of sponsorship at Capital One, said: "We're delighted to give these 30 children centre stage at Wembley as part of our Little Legends campaign. The London Youth Choir does some fantastic work with juniors from across the capital and with an all-London final they are the perfect choice to get Wembley singing before kick-off."
In addition Capital One's Little Legends campaign will also see 15 lucky children occupy other 'money can't buy' roles at the Final. Capital One has selected the 15 children for the 'starring roles' including hanging up Chelsea's and Tottenham's kit in their Wembley dressing rooms, carrying the teams' flags out onto the pitch, handing over the match ball to referee Anthony Taylor and taking part in a half-time penalty shoot-out.

Blandino: Correct calls on Steve Smith, Andrew Luck
Published: Oct. 28, 2014 at 08:25 p.m.
Try as he might, Steve Smith just can't beat the Bengals with late-game, 80-yard touchdowns.
A.J. Green answered Smith's 80-yard score in the season opener, preventing a comeback victory for Baltimore.
Smith's dramatic 80-yard bomb in the final minute at Cincinnati last week was nullified by a controversial offensive pass interference penalty, sending the Ravens to defeat once again.
Dean Blandino, the NFL's vice president of officiating, told NFL Total Access on Tuesday that it was an "interesting play," but Smith's actions did indeed constitute pass interference.
"Pass interference is any act that significantly hinders an eligible player's ability to catch a pass," Blandino explained. "When we look at this replay, you can see Smith put his left hand in the chest of the defender and pushed him down. We do feel that this is the correct call.
"And when you look at it, reverse the roles: If that was a defender pushing a receiver down, I don't think anybody would be questioning the call. The rules are the same to both sides of the ball: That is offensive pass interference."
The Smith penalty wasn't the only call that sparked controversy and confusion in Week 8. An intentional grounding ruling against Andrew Luck resulted in a safety that put the Indianapolis Colts behind by two scores and ultimately blocked any chance of a comeback in the shootout at Pittsburgh.
There was confusion on the telecast as to whether it was Luck's entire body or just his throwing arm that had to be out of the end zone to avoid a safety. Blandino clarified the penalty.
"This was an obvious call," Blandino said. "He has to get the ball in an area where there's an eligible receiver. And when we talk about whether this is a safety or not, you can see his body is in the end zone, and the key is, in order for it not to be a safety, his entire body and the ball must be in the field of play when the ball is released. So this is intentional grounding. It is a safety."
Blandino's explanations might not salve the wounds of bitter Ravens fans, but they should at least help Colts backers understand why Luck's safety wasn't overturned.

17-time GRAMMY® Award-winner Sting was honored by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco on behalf of his environmental activism, most notably for his work through the Rainforest Foundation.
Dame Helen Mirren, Kate Beckinsale, and Andy Garcia served as Masters of Ceremony. Each separately shared from the stage their personal commitments to the work the Foundation does, and their concerns for the ongoing crisis our Planet faces.
Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress Leona Lewis was the evening's delightful headline performer.

40-year-old mother of 2 makes NFL cheerleading squad
Written by admin on 21/07/2019 Categories: 苏州美甲美睫培训
NEW ORLEANS – She hadn't done splits and high kicks since her cheerleading days in high school, but 40-year-old dance instructor Kriste Lewis set a lofty goal: to try out for the New Orleans Saints cheerleading squad, known as the Saintsations.
Faced with competition from women who mostly ranged in age from 18 to 28, Lewis never thought she'd make the team. And then, she did.
"I wanted to set a goal for myself, and the audition was a specific date that required specific training, so my goal was just to make it to the audition," said Lewis, who lives with her husband and two sons in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, about 100 miles northeast of New Orleans. "Honestly, I really did not think I was going to make it."
Lewis is one of only two NFL cheerleaders in her 40s, and she's the oldest to ever audition for the Saintsations, said Lesslee Fitzmorris, director of the squad since 2001. The other dancer is 45-year-old Laura Vikmanis, who has been with the Cincinnati Bengals dance team, the Ben-Gals, since making the squad at age 40.
"The applications hadn't been processed when the dance auditions started, so the judges didn't even know Kriste was 40 until she had made it through three rounds of cuts and revealed her age in the interview round," Fitzmorris said.
Something besides her age sets Lewis apart. A big part of her motivation was her will to make the most of every day since being diagnosed with a debilitating kidney disease that will eventually lead to dialysis treatments and the need for a kidney transplant. Several family members have died of the disease, and her mother has already undergone dialysis and a kidney transplant that her body twice rejected.
Lewis said she had to have her doctor's permission to join the 36-member Saintsations.
"I know my time is limited," Lewis said. "I don't want to let any time go. I want to make every day count."
Lewis will take the field with the Saintsations when the New Orleans Saints play their first exhibition game of the season Aug. 15 at the Superdome against the Tennessee Titans.
"I can't wait to get on that field," she said. "Just being able to put a cheerleading uniform back on and go at it for my favourite team is unbelievable to me, and I'm having a blast."

The Rotary Club of Central Cayman Islands received its charter from Rotary International on October 30 1986. The Charter President was John A. Furze. All these years later, one of the original members still remain in the club, proving that Rotary is a family for life. Here is a photo of some of our past Presidents, taken in 2014.
Over the years, the club has met many needs of varying sorts within the community – assistance with housing, the building of the T.E. McField Centre, the restoration of the Mastic Bridge, and hurricane relief. The club also recognises its international responsibilities and has contributed to disaster relief projects, and sanitation and clean drinking water programmes worldwide.
Rotary Central is a major contributor to the Rotary Foundation, and in 2005 achieved 100% Paul Harris Fellow status, only the second club in District 7020 to achieve this honour.


There's something about January that is comforting to me. The gray skies force me inside to cozy up in worn blankets, and thick sweaters cover me like a second skin. Life's pace seems to naturally slow after the holidays, and there is a calm within that time lulls me to rest. Almost instinctively, I read more, sleep more, think more, and as I fall in step with the gentle metronome of these winter days, I'm reminded to slow down.
I like that this lemon pound cake feels right for January. Just as it seems fitting to warm myself by a simmering pot of stew on the stove or to sit with my children in front of the oven watching loaves of bread rise, I like waiting for this cake to bake and to cool. Just like these January days, this lemon pound cake feels simple and lazy. It's the type of recipe that it suitable for snacking on throughout the day but is always best served with a cup of coffee or an afternoon tea.
Preparing this lemon pound cake is simple. Cream together butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Eggs and extract come next and is incorporated before the dry and wet ingredients are added. Lemon zest and juice lend a bright and tangy flavor to this dense and moist loaf. After baking, the lemon pound cake should be golden, fairly flat on top, and left to cool in the pan before flipping out onto a serving platter. The glaze for this lemon pound cake is entirely optional. I like the tang and zip the sour cream and lemon juice icing adds to the loaf, and although the glaze simple, it makes an pretty adornment for an otherwise plain cake.
So what do you all do this time of year? Are you rushing to get caught up from the holiday whirlwind? Are you busy tackling your resolutions and to-do lists? Or have you, like me, settled on being settled for a while and to quiet yourself and your life? Either way, I hope you'll give this lemon pound cake a try and let me know what you think. Happy Baking to you, friends!
This lemon pound cake is a bright and sweet in flavor, but comforting and rich in texture. Perfect for breakfast or dessert!
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a loaf pan with baking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl and the beating an additional minute to incorporate. Stir in the vanilla and lemon zest.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir on low until almost combined. Add half of the milk and the lemon juice and stir to almost combine. Repeat this process with the remaining dry and wet ingredients, and fold with a rubber spatula to incorporate the last bits of ingredients. Do not overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes and then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
When you're ready to prepare the glaze, whisk together all the ingredients until a viscous glaze forms. Add more powdered sugar to thicken it up and more sour cream or lemon juice to thin it out. Drizzle over top of the prepared cake and enjoy!
For an ultra dense and moist cake, you can add up to a ½ cup of brown sugar to this recipe. This is a delicious addition, but in the spirit of the new year, I decided to keep it light for you all. Make the adjustment if you prefer.
Do you have a lemon poppy seed cake that you could pair with this icing?
Is there something I can substitute for the icing besides sour cream or buttermilk? Any dairy-free possible?
That's a great question. I'm not 100% positive as I haven't tested this!
This was less than successful for me. Just too much bigger in there. It was like a bigger sponge. Just dripping. And not in a good way. Might I have done something wrong?
Kate, for the brown sugar addition I am assuming it would be half cup sugar and then half cup brown sugar?
oh you're right! I've made the correction!
Can you add poppy seeds ?
Would this work in a Bundt pan?
I made it in my little Bundt pan. Wow! What an amazing cake!
hooray! I'm thrilled to hear this!

Coventry Canal Basin

A new cafe will be opening its doors in Coventry Canal Basin this month.
Playwrights Bar and Bistro is set to open right on the canal side, offering a breakfast and lunch menu.
It is good news for fans of Coventry's cafe scene, as Playwrights already runs a popular city centre venue on Hay Lane.
They will retain their cafe in Coventry's Cathedral quarter and the new Canal Basin venue will run as a separate site with the same name, offering a similar type of menu.
The cafe will be opening its doors at the end of the month and announced in a Facebook post: "We have a date for opening...THURSDAY 20TH AUGUST.
"We will be serving breakfast & lunch, menus and opening hours to follow."

Would you like to see more cafes and businesses come to Coventry Canal Basin?
0+ VOTES SO FAR
Yes - it would be great to see a bustling canal area with shops and cafes
Maybe - It would need to be cafes and businesses that fit the area
No - it is fine as it is
Speaking to CoventryLive, owner William James said: "We're going to be open for breakfast and lunch and we might do the odd pop up night, like vegan and gluten free nights.
"With the City of Culture there's plans for some investment in the Canal Basin, so we wanted to take that risk [and move there] so others businesses can follow."
The funding that Mr James is referring to, is the £3m National Lottery funding that was announced in October 2019.
Reported by CoventryLive at the time, it was awarded to the City of Culture Trust to develop Coventry's green spaces, urban sites, waterways and heritage locations.
According to their website, the cafe will be based in Unit 12 in the Canal Basin, and will be a welcome addition to the canal basin, likely to attract more footfall to the area.
Playwrights' city centre venue is already a firm favourite among locals, and with cafe culture and outdoor eating on the menu as the region gets to grips with Covid-19, it will be sure to attract customers looking for something a bit different.
The Canal Basin was opened in 1769 and expanded in 1788.
Many of the buildings and the site at the canal basin were restored between 1993 and 1995, but in recent years some units have sat empty.
The Canal Bridge, Canal House and the warehouses are Grade II listed buildings.
The canal and surrounding area from the Canal Basin to Hawkesbury Junction is designated as a conservation area.
Playwrights Bar and Bistro are yet to announce their opening hours, but have confirmed the opening date as August 20.

In the text, See What I'm Saying by Rosenblum, we learn that there is evidence that one's expressions influence their emotions. This is because emotions themselves are embodied. Meaning that the act of thinking about an emotion is partly composed of slight changes in a number of body states associated with that emotion. Therefore, they each correspond to a specific set of body states, many of which are neurophysiological and others which are muscular. More so, it's believed some of these states involve motoric actions of the face. Implying that changing a face's motor actions can actually change a small part of the emotion itself. Explaining why in the pen experiment, mentioned in the text, biting on a pen produced an amplified level of amusement for most of the subjects. Or why research studies suggest that even fake smiling helps one feel less stressed and overall happier.
