Iran: Neighbors must join hands to expel evil US from region

Iran's top security official says insecurity in the Middle East stems from the United States' illegitimate presence and acts of terror, urging neighbors to make collective efforts and pave the way for the withdrawal of American troops from the region.
In a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi in Tehran on Tuesday, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani welcomed Baghdad's diplomatic efforts towards establishing regional security and easing tensions between neighboring countries.
Referring to Washington's "malicious," "terrorist" and "destabilizing" actions, Shamkhani underlined the "inevitable need" for cooperation between the countries in the region to accelerate the withdrawal of "the evil US."
He said the "definitive solution" to rid the region of insecurity and terrorism is unity among all regional states and non-interference of foreign forces.
Iran's strategic policy is to defend the Iraqi government's sovereignty and develop all-out relations with the brotherly nation, he added.
Shamkhani also said that the measures taken by the Iraqi government to strengthen border security and expedite the implementation of bilateral agreements, especially in economic fields, will benefit the interests of both countries.
He further said that Tehran expects Baghdad to resolutely respond of terrorist acts against Iran perpetrated by counter-revolutionary elements operating in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.
Referring to the US assassination of anti-terror commanders Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Shamkhani said that both Iranian and Iraqi nations want the case pursued politically and legally.

"Cooperation and joint action by the two countries in this regard can speed up the process of following up on the case and serve as a deterrent to the recurrence of such evil acts," he pointed out.
US President Donald Trump ordered the fatal drone strike on the motorcade of Iran's General Soleimani upon his arrival in Baghdad on January 3 at the invitation of the Iraqi government. The attack also killed Muhandis, the second-in-command of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) counter-terrorism force, as well as eight other Iranian and Iraqi people.

Kadhimi, for his part, emphasized the need for developing Iran-Iraq ties, especially in economic and security sectors.
He further appreciated the all-out support of the Iranian government and people for Iraq's efforts to defend its national sovereignty during the fight against the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group, saying the Iraqis will never forget the Islamic Republic's backing.
In 2014, when Daesh unleashed its campaign of terror in Iraq, Iranian military advisers — led by General Soleimani — aided Iraqi Armed Forces on Baghdad's request to reverse Daesh's gains and ultimately liberate their entire homeland from the Takfiri outfit some three years later.
Heading a high-ranking politico-economic delegation, Kadhimi traveled to Tehran on Tuesday for a two-day visit. He met with Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and Iran's President Hassan Rouhani.

« Sad Desk Lunch: does this describe you?
I found this great tool online around where you are in your job search. The title is a bit misleading, since I think the exercise of thinking about some of these questions isn't just for people on the market, but for anyone wanting to take a moment to reflect upon where you are and where you're going. That's not an easy place for me to go. I'm constantly into self-improvement and thinking about what I want to grow, but not always about fixating on a goal ahead – my tendency is to stay in the day-to-day.
I suggest you explore the site, 50 Ways to Get a Job That Makes Good. It reads like there is a path from starting to happy (who wouldn't want to get there?)…yet, it's easy to pick a square and see where it leads you.
I think Friday's a good day for you to start playing around with it, so get going!

Q: Update an "Order" column after deleting a row? I have a ProductsImages table which includes ImageId, Productid ,Order :
ProductId   ImageId    Order
----------------------------
    1          1        1
    1          2        2
    1          3        3
    1          4        4
    1          5        5

When I delete a row, let's say ProductId = 1 ImageId = 1 I need to update the order column :
ProductId   ImageId    Order
----------------------------
    1          2        1
    1          3        2
    1          4        3
    1          5        4

A: After you do the delete, you can do an update:
with toupdate as (
      select pi.*,
             row_number() over (partition by productId order by [order]) as neworder
      from ProductImages pi
     )
update toupdate
    set [order] = neworder;

The above updates the whole table.  If you just want to update the changed product, add a where clause:
with toupdate as (
      select pi.*,
             row_number() over (partition by productId order by [order]) as neworder
      from ProductImages pi
      where pi.ProductID = @ProductId
     )
update toupdate
    set [order] = neworder;

Thanks to a national passion for gambling in mainland China, where it is illegal, Macao is on its way to establishing itself as the global leader in that industry.
MACAO, Aug. 22 — Las Vegas's days as the capital of excess may be numbered.
The $2.4 billion Venetian Macao Resort, scheduled to open here Tuesday, will give Sin City more than a run for its money. The Venetian has more floor space than four Empire State Buildings. The hotel's slot machines, baccarat tables and other games of chance sprawl across a casino more than three times the size of the largest casino in Las Vegas. The 15,000-seat sports arena nearly rivals Madison Square Garden, the convention center has a 6,000-seat banquet hall and the luxury shopping mall has three indoor canals with singing gondoliers; the Venetian in Las Vegas has just one.
But what is most surprising about the 3,000-suite project is that it is merely the first of 14 interconnected hotels being built here by the Las Vegas Sands Corporation. When completed, the complex will include a St. Regis, a Shangri-la, a Raffles, a Conrad, an Intercontinental and a Sheraton, with their own casinos, bars and restaurants. And the project, which will cost $10 billion to $12 billion, is just the largest of a series of giant gambling complexes being constructed here in Macao, on the southwestern lip of the mouth of the Pearl River.
China has already surpassed the United States in the manufacture of everything from steel and cement to DVD players and microwave ovens. Now, China is on its way to establishing itself as the global leader in a service industry: gambling.
Why? Money, naturally. When the Sands Macao, the first American-operated casino here, opened its doors three years ago, first-year profits exceeded the total cost of the project, according to the company and industry analysts. Thanks to a national passion for gambling in mainland China, where it is illegal, Macao surged ahead of Las Vegas last year in total money gambled.
But some experts predict that while the gambling industry here will continue to grow briskly, it may not expand as quickly as new casinos and hotels are set to open, resulting in narrower profit margins for the big American operators coming to Macao and for local companies as well.
Currently, Macao resembles Atlantic City — attracting mostly residents of nearby cities, who appear less than glamorous. The Venetian represents the territory's biggest bet to transform itself into a Las Vegas-like attraction with customers from all over Asia and across the world.
But will there be enough high-stakes visitors to go around? Macao currently has 4,800 rooms in five-star hotels and another 4,000 in four-star hotels, but the Sands project alone will add 2,500 five-star rooms and 17,500 rooms in four-star hotels, including the four-star Venetian. Wynn Resorts opened a casino and hotel here late last year and MGM Mirage will open a 600-room five-star hotel late this year.
Until Portugal returned Macao to Chinese rule in 1999, the island had a reputation for violence, gangs, prostitution and pawn shops, as much as gambling. With an eye to changing that, Beijing broke the gambling monopoly of Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, controlled by Stanley Ho, a Hong Kong billionaire who owns extensive real estate and other investments in Macao.
But Macao's average gambler is still a day-tripper from Hong Kong or nearby Chinese cities in the Pearl River delta. These visitors are so frugal that they often bring their own food and do not rent hotel rooms. They spend an average of just 1.26 days in the territory — and even that average is inflated by the many Hong Kong residents who work in Macao Monday through Friday and go home on weekends.
By contrast, the average visitor to Las Vegas spends 3.4 days.
"If you look at Macao, there are no or virtually no nongaming revenues," whereas nongambling revenues exceed gambling revenues in Las Vegas, said William P. Weidner, the president and chief operating officer of Las Vegas Sands.
There have been some successes in expanding Macao's offerings. A coming exhibition tennis match at the Venetian arena between Pete Sampras and Roger Federer sold out in less than a day; tickets will soon go on sale for two exhibition games featuring National Basketball Association teams.
The Venetian is offering an initial rate of $140 a night for a 650-square-foot suite and advertising heavily in an attempt to persuade Hong Kong residents that Macao is changing. "They still perceive Macao as a pure gaming place and as a sin city," said Billy Ng, an Asian gambling analyst at JPMorgan. On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Ho's aging Hotel Lisboa and the nearby Wynn and Sands Macao casinos were all attracting sizable crowds — though each seemed to have its niche. Younger Chinese men and women seemed to be gravitating to the Sands. At the nearby Wynn, where every suite includes a private massage room, middle-aged Chinese occupied most of the tables, along with a handful of Westerners. At the Hotel Lisboa, older men seemed to predominate, with a sprinkling of gaunt young women in extremely short miniskirts and very high heels.
Gavin Ho said that while S.J.M. might have to close a few of its oldest casinos, the Hotel Lisboa would probably survive because it is well known. S.J.M. is also building new casinos of its own. S.J.M. officials did not return calls for comment.
MGM Mirage raised more than $5 billion last week by selling a 9.5 percent stake in the company to Dubai World along with half a Las Vegas project, in a transaction widely viewed as an attempt to strengthen MGM's balance sheet at a time of turmoil in financial markets.
Mr. Weidner said that Las Vegas Sands had ample credit available and had not been affected by problems in credit markets.
Attracting non-Chinese could become more important because officials in Beijing periodically tighten the rules for issuing exit visas to mainland residents. A recent tightening of the rules for adjacent Guangdong Province slowed annual growth in visitors from that province to 11 percent in July, although overall growth in visitors to Macao is still over 20 percent because of strong interest from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
But the longer-term success of the gambling industry may depend on whether the Macao city government can improve a sometimes disorderly environment.
Las Vegas Sands has been working closely with the police in hopes of avoiding a repeat of the fiasco at the opening of the Sands Macao. Then, drawn partly by false newspaper reports of free $25 chips for the first bettors, a mob police estimated at 20,000 trampled barriers and ripped doors off their hinges in a rush to get inside; still, no one was seriously injured.
Faced with pushing and shoving demonstrators four months ago, a police officer whipped out his pistol and fired five shots into the air to get the crowd's attention. He missed spectators who happened to be watching from a pedestrian bridge above, but a bullet of the same caliber as the officer's weapon seriously injured a man who was riding a motorcycle several blocks away.
Koc Soi Leng, a senior inspector at the Macao Police Department, said that the police had been working closely with the Venetian to prepare for Tuesday's opening. "The situation on that day will be closely monitored and backup police resources will be called upon if necessary," she said.
Ron Reese, a spokesman for the Venetian, said that the sheer size of the hotel and its huge entrances and exits should prevent problems.
Brad Stone, the company's executive vice president, said that the Venetian Macao had similar security to Las Vegas casinos, including metal detectors.
Government problems are tougher. The government of Macao has moved slowly to expand customs facilities to keep up with the torrent of visitors. The territory's casinos are busiest on weekends, but even at lunchtime on Wednesday there was a 35-minute line of people snaking through a handful of immigration lines to have their passports stamped for entry at the main ferry terminal for boats arriving from Hong Kong and the mainland.
The Venetian Macao is buying its own ferries to serve a second ferry terminal being built with more lines for passport checks.

Virgin Atlantic introduces pre-departure Covid-19 testing trial on Heathrow-Barbados flights
Virgin Atlantic has said that it will introduce a pre-departure free, rapid lateral-flow antigen test for customers on selected flights travelling from London Heathrow to Barbados, and onwards to Antigua and Grenada, starting December 9.
Delivered by health professionals at Collinson and Swissport's Terminal 2 Pre-Departure testing facility, the move is part of an airline-led trial to gather vital data on the logistics and effectiveness of pre-departure testing. The free test is in addition to existing multi-faceted measures and the RT-PCR test entry requirement for Barbados, Antigua and Grenada.
This Virgin Atlantic testing trial initiative, six weeks in duration, will facilitate the development of pre-departure testing at scale at Heathrow and provide evidence on testing effectiveness to enable governments to move to a valid pre-departure testing regime and safely remove quarantine. The move comes as UK travel restrictions for non-essential travel eased on December 3.
Shai Weiss, chief executive officer, Virgin Atlantic said: 'The new UK test to release scheme is a vital first step in re-opening the skies, but we must now move rapidly towards a single test pre-departure regime in order to ensure the survival of UK aviation and protect 500,000 jobs reliant on the sector. Our Heathrow-Barbados testing trial, in close collaboration with partners including Collinson, London Heathrow and the Barbados Ministry of Tourism & International Transport, will gather vital data on the efficacy of a pre-departure testing regime to safely replace quarantine. We hope that testing will also lead the way for US borders to open to UK travellers.'
The nasal and throat swab in Virgin Atlantic's trial will be administered up to 1 hour 45 minutes before departure by a registered nurse at the Pre-Departure Collinson and Swissport Terminal 2 facility, taking no more than five minutes. Customers will receive their digital and printed test result within less than 30 minutes, proceeding to security and boarding following confirmation of a negative result.
In addition to the outbound pre-departure rapid testing trial, Virgin Atlantic is planning a second phase to gather data with pre-departure rapid testing for selected inbound services from December 15. This coincides with the start of the UK 'test to release' regime on day five to generate critical data and support the removal of quarantine for international arrivals.
Customers who do not wish to participate in the trial may rebook free of charge to another Virgin Atlantic flight. If a customer tests positive, they will be able to rebook free of charge or cancel their trip.
The first flight in the trial will be VS186 departing today, December 9. Selected Virgin Atlantic flights from London Heathrow to Barbados operate as a 'double drop' service, stopping first at Barbados Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI) then onwards to Antigua (ANU) or Grenada (GND).

Take some time to browse through our selection of official supporter gear that the whole family can enjoy. But, before you do, let's take a brief step back in time, and learn a bit more about the Brisbane Roar.
A Little Bit About The Brisbane Roar
The Brisbane Roar FC originally entered the competition as Queensland Roar FC, and they hold the longest unbeaten run of any Australian footy code, with 36 league matches undefeated. They're also the only club to win the A-League championship twice in a row. Overall, they've won an impressive two league premierships and three championships. For their first two seasons, the Roar wore predominantly orange, with blue shorts and maroon socks. While maroon is often the colour associated with Queensland, the orange and blue were used to honour the Dutch origins of the club. Before the 2009-10 A-League season kicked off, and the name changed from 'Queensland Roar' to 'Brisbane Roar', their logo was also updated.
Shop The Latest Brisbane Roar Merchandise
The team kit has had a few changes over the years, usually keeping with the maroon and orange colours. However, the most recent uniform has dropped the maroon from the shirt, and now mainly features the orange base, with minor stripes of black and white around the neck. For the 2019/20 season, the team had a total of four kits. These included a main home kit in orange and black; a predominately grey away kit, a third kit which featured the maroon, and a special event kit which was black. If you're a big Brisbane Roar fan, make sure you have the latest Brisbane Roar merchandise from The Stubby Club.


Flights to Bangkok soaring prices from U.K.
Thread: Flights to Bangkok soaring prices from U.K.
Hi all just thought i would like to have a "rant" we came over last christmas non-stop flights were £689 and this April for £657, just checking for this christmas and the cheapest i can find is £775 and that is a stop-over in flippin Russia, the cheapest non-stop is now a whopping £1224, (thai airways) a mind blowing rise of £448, certainly having second thoughts now, only hope is goes down later, i will be checking it out, Rolls, (what a great site this is, love the "banter") we wont mention the cleavage or pants bit, dam i just did lol !!
High season, sadly they can sell the seats at inflated prices.
Are even Evaair that price? Direct flights.
You buying late, I did tickets for my brother recently, £620.
i didnt book until october last year and got £689 as i said, just think its a piss take. my mate is a frequent "bangkoker" (thai girlfriend) so we will just wait and see, but that is one hell of a difference in price as compared to last year.?
...because folks will continue to purchase inflated prices [for anything, actually].
Considering the market [catatonic consumers] are conditioned without any fight in them.
...because folks will continue to purchase inflated prices [for anything, actually]. Whatever the market will bear. Considering the market [catatonic consumers] are conditioned without any fight in them.
Could not agree more as this is 2013, but if you put your foot down there are values to be had.
If the schools are on holiday then you'll pay.
Apparaently only £505 with Thai according to the English Thai magazine I read whilst waiting for a take away the other night.
Just finished reading a book "Upright, and Locked Position" (or something like that). In it , it explains in detail how airlines have totally changed their business model to stay profitable irrespective of oil prices, etc.
The basic concept is to cut down on the number of flights (lower overhead), and then charge a premium (basic supply and demand). This goes double for the holidays (high seasons).
History shows that those that can afford it, will pay whatever they have to in order to fly on medium and long-haul flights (those greater than 500 miles).
Other than take a cruise, you are pretty much screwed if you want to travel internationally.
That magazine was dated 1998.
^^I don't think it will be long before Thai are down to 1 flight a day LHR/BKK especially if they put an A380 on the route.
They cancelled a few flights a while back rumour is lack of bookings.
Your local politician would tell you that because air travel is ruining the atmosphere, a local premium has been applied at all UK airports. UK based airlines, allegedly, get this at a reduced rate.
The average man on the street will tell you that this is utter drivel and just another stealth tax.
In any event, booking as far ahead as you can manage, usually gets the best deal, but avoid school holidays, at all cost!
Fly to Hong Kong. Between Cathay and British, they have more than 7 direct flights a day.
Then buy a cheap ticket to Bangkok.
When I last booked BKK-LHR-BKK about 3 months ago, I also checked prices for reverse direction flights (LHR-BKK-LHR) with the same airlines on the same dates, and all turned out between 10-40% cheaper leaving from LHR.
Try going via Netflights or Travelbag or West/ East travel etc.
I just got us 5 month return tickets BA direct October to March 2014 £ 1190 everything for the 2 of us direct BA .
Hope that helps ,, ok I know were not travelling over the Xmas period but I got ours through the Travel Centre.
LHR/HKG/BKK £479 for flights between now and 5th December 2013,Book before 10th August.
Mean while in patriotic Gert world we are flying Thai again i still have 40,000 air miles with Jet Airways.
I was looking at prices in January and China southern from the UK to Bangkok via Guangzhou was £425, cheapest I have seen for a long time.
^^ that is cheap. How are the airline?
Well going on the reviews lately, not bad. I have never flown international with them, I flew in China with them years ago,it was ok.
^they sound like a shite airline, but some of these airlines have developed/improved and can be pretty good.

Dave Winsborough spoke in Christchurch this morning about why "Nice Guys Come Last". Dave was speaking to a group of 26 CEO's & High Performance Leaders that I host in Christchurch. The purpose of the group is to provide a peer group for CEO's which includes a number who travel from Wellington and Auckland.
Dave is a leadership expert and his company runs a number of large Corporate and Government Department Leadership Frameworks. His topic today was challenging us around the impact good CEO's can have on a Company and explaining why New Zealand organisations do not go on (generally) to be large Global Players. I learnt a lot.
It was a good morning and generated a lot of discussion and interaction.

Q: Unable to change text of textblock in Windows Phone 8.0 I'm trying to set the value of a textblock to what hour it is, I have the following code:
timeHours.Text = DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString();

But the textblock doesn't show what hour it is, it doesn't show anything and stays as the original text, how do I solve this problem?

A: If you want to show the current hour in a text box, and have it update properly every 60 minutes then you need some sort of background process that changes the value that is displayed in the textbox. You can do this with a simple Timer object and an event.
using System.Timers;

class myclass
{
    System.Timers.Timer timer;

    public void initialise()
    {
        timer = new System.Timers.Timer(10000);
        timer += new ElapsedEventHandler(_timer_Elapsed);
    }

    void _timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
    {
    timeHours.Text = DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString();
    }
}

This updates the hour every 10 seconds (10000 milliseconds), not very efficient but does the job.

Description: This game is far more than just a Gem game, a mix of challenge, charm and serenity. The object of this game is to collect all the gems in your Choo Choo train, but avoid bumping into your own carriages. Try to find your way through the maze and avoid crashing into yourself. You must have a strategy and problem solving mind as you try to collect all the gems in each level...A challenging game for all ages!
Color this pretty fairy picture. can you imagine if these little fairies really existed?


It's just a fact of life, if you have sensitive teeth, you may need to avoid eating foods that are extremely hot, cold or sugary — even during the holidays. We know what you're thinking. Why is the universe always against our taste buds, right?
And when you find yourself in an all-you-can-eat situation at holiday buffets, you enter risky territory to trigger the problem or make it worse. Thankfully, there's a way to combat sensitive teeth and it starts with eating less sugar (hey, I never said this was a win-win situation). You may not want to eliminate these foods and drinks from your holiday diet entirely — vices are vices for a reason — but if you can limit your intake when you hit the buffets, you'll be doing your teeth a solid.
This may be good news for anyone who loves pecan pie or pumpkin pie, but not so much for all the apple pie die-hards out there. As Finkel hinted at, the sugar in pie (including pumpkin and pecan) will contribute to sensitive teeth, but fruit pies are a double whammy since fruit itself contains so much sugar. When you must indulge, at least avoid the pies filled with fruit.
Ice cream also gets two strikes. It's loaded with sugar which can lead to tooth decay — strike one. It's cold which triggers pain in sensitive teeth — strike two. Eating too much ice cream both causes the problem and triggers the side effects.
Realistically, most people won't totally deprive themselves of good wine during the holidays. Whether you love your family or they drive you bonkers, drinking is usually a key part of the equation this time of year. Just remember, wine equals sugar, so the less you drink, the less likely you are to trigger tooth sensitivity. Plus, wine tends to stain your teeth — just another reason to avoid it, unless you want purple teeth in every one of your holiday pictures.
On the bright side, cheese contains a protein that helps strengthen your teeth. Maybe, just maybe, you can break even with a plate of cheese and a glass of wine at your holiday party (or at least pretend?).
Eggnog is one of those drinks people either hate with a passion or love to death. If you're someone who loves it, your dentist probably hates that you love it and you can probably guess why: the insane amount of sugar. Sigh.
If you can manage to make room for salad after filling up on turkey, ham, stuffing and other holiday sides, more power to you. But, according to Finkel, if that salad is doused in a vinaigrette dressing, your teeth won't be feeling so victorious. There's more sugar in those dressings that you might think, and the sweeter they are, the more they will hurt.
Just as cold foods like ice cream will make you wince, eating hot foods is no walk in the park when you have sensitive teeth. This includes soups, mashed potatoes, gravy and piping hot hors d'oeuvres. In most cases, you can avoid doing causing pain from sensitive teeth simply by being patient when food is still steaming. Though, your sense of smell may prove this difficult.
All in all, don't feel bad about sipping wine and enjoying your favorite holiday foods. Just remember the motto "everything in moderation" and your teeth will be grateful. And if you do indulge, be sure to follow up by brushing your teeth using a gentle whitening toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth..

Q: Cracked laptop lcd screen with gray spots appearing I have opened my pavilion HDX 18 laptop to replace the screen backlight (one of the lamps broke but there were no gray spots). Once I put it back together The screen appeared cracked and it displayed gray large spots around it. From day to day the spots change in size and some of them are opaque and others are semi transparents. Some of them can even disappear. They appear to be comming out of the crack and can be anywhere from small to large.
keep in mind that my crack did not appear after i dropped my laptop but after i opened it to change the backlight that broke (at least most Likely because i couldn't fully see the crack till i turned on my computer with the new backlight)
What exactly is wrong with my screen?
Is it easy to fix or do I need to replace the whole screen?
I noticed that the screen is composed of multiple sheets and I think it might be just one of the sheets that broke and I can replace just that. (they are very thin and I think I just ripped it while opening the backlight)
Ill supply an image as soon as I am able to
OK this is not exactly how it looks like on my laptop its much better and my spots are mostly transparent-gray but its something similar  to this image:

Parkour group urges IOC to reject their sport from Olympics
December 1, 2020 GMT
FILE - In this Aug. 16, 2018, file photo, participants of the Parkour Generations work on their practice runs outside of Wembley Stadium ahead of the 13th Rendezvous International Parkour Gathering in London. Global organizers of parkour are urging the IOC not to add the street-running sport to the 2024 Paris Olympics at a meeting next week. The Parkour Earth group has for years opposed what it calls a "hostile takeover" of the sport by the Olympic-recognized International Gymnastics Federation. Parkour Earth said Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020 in an open letter to the International Olympic Committee that the world gymnastic body's "encroachment and misappropriation of our sport continues." (AP Photo/Nishat Ahmed, File)
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Organizers of the sport of parkour urged the IOC on Tuesday to reject adding the obstacle course-style street-running event to the 2024 Paris Olympics because of a dispute with the governing body of gymnastics.
The Parkour Earth group has for years opposed what it calls a "hostile takeover" of the sport by the International Gymnastics Federation, known as FIG.
"Unfortunately, FIG's encroachment and misappropriation of our sport continues," Parkour Earth wrote Tuesday in an open letter to the International Olympic Committee.
The IOC executive board will meet on Monday and on the agenda is finalizing the sports program for the Paris Games. Requests to add new medal events or modify existing ones are expected from governing bodies.
FIG, which will have 18 medal events at next year's Tokyo Olympics, is expected to ask again for parkour's inclusion. Paris is where parkour was developed in the 1990s.
Parkour's spectacular tricks in an urban setting has clear appeal at a time when the Olympics is targeting a younger audience.
Skateboarding, 3-on-3 basketball and sport climbing will make their debuts in Tokyo, though the IOC declined FIG's proposal of parkour. Breakdancing will be an Olympic sport in Paris in 2024.
What counts against parkour for the Paris Games is the IOC's policy of adding medal events that involve only the existing pool of athletes. The IOC does not want to increase the overall quota of 10,500 athletes competing in 2024, and parkour competitors are separate from FIG's Olympic disciplines of artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, and trampoline.
Despite the dispute with Parkour Earth, FIG plans to stage its first parkour world championships in March. Events in parkour speed and parkour freestyle are scheduled to be held in Hiroshima, Japan.
"The collaboration is a natural fit," the Lausanne-based gymnastics body has said, "as several national gymnastics federations affiliated with the FIG already offer parkour activities."

One of the newer Carlsbad communities is the 53 Melrose neighborhood. The homes were built by D.R. Horton home builder approximately 7 years ago and share a location near the city of Carlsbad border with close proximity to many local schools, retail stores and restaurants. Many of the homes in this neighborhood offer two story floor plans with large master suites, walk-in closets and private outdoor terraces. For those looking for large parcels of land will enjoy lot sizes that can span over 15,000 square feet.
One of the unique parts about living here is that homeowners association dues are kept very low and currently average $140.00 a month. There is no additional Mello Roos fee which is very common in new construction neighborhoods in Southern California. The management company is Action Property Management who takes care of all the maintenance within the community. Residents enjoy a small barbecue and children playground area as well as lots of hiking trails near the community. The association also allows for pets with certain restrictions.
Real Estate prices have been very consistent this year with homes selling between $729,000 to $779,000 for a 2,205 square foot Hom with three bedrooms and four baths. Prices in 2016 averaged at $775,000 for a 2,411 square foot home with four bedrooms and three baths. It's important to keep in mind that this is a fairly small community with only a small handful of four to five properties coming on the market in any given year. The neighborhood and homes are well kept and is a great place to buy for those looking under the $800,000 price point.

Review: Disney Delivers With Impressive 'Moana'
Posted by Gavin Arucan | Nov 23, 2016 | Opinions, Reviews | 0 |
By Gavin Arucan | Staff Writer
Spring-boarding off the critically acclaimed hit "Zootopia," Disney Animation Studios brings Polynesian culture and Broadway-esque musical numbers to the big screen with the long awaited "Moana." The animated film depicts the adventures of the titular young girl, Moana, as she travels across the vast ocean to find the mythical demigod, Māui, in order to save her island.
"Moana" was one of the most hyped for movies here in the islands since natives were going to be able to see their culture and traditions portrayed by such a popular studio like Disney. The iconic studio made all the right decisions leading up to the movie's release, most notably with the casting of Mililani teen Auliʻi Cravalho as Moana and Samoan celebrity actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Māui. Now that "Moana" hit theaters on Tuesday night, I can confirm that the movie successfully delivers everything the trailers promised in every way that counts.
At its core, "Moana" is a road trip movie. Two characters, who don't really like each other, are forced to travel together. On their journey, the two face many obstacles that slowly brings them together and teaches them how to get along. Just take that basic plot, replace the road with the expanse of the ocean, and you have "Moana." It's a very common story trope but is also one of my favorites for animated films because it presents many opportunities for creative ideas and characters during an epic adventure.
All three of the monsters that Moana and Māui encounter on their adventure are refreshingly inventive and fun to watch. Tamatoa, a gargantuan crab with an affinity for shiny objects, is delightfully quirky despite some of his comedy falling flat. However, his David Bowie-inspired song and brutal fight scene easily makes up for his few groaners. The final villain, who I wouldn't dare spoil, is immensely powerful and legitimately intimidating despite her short screen time. However, the first adversary Moana and Māui had to fight was my absolute favorite. The Kakamora pirate gang, which I thought were Menehune at first, engage the heroic duo in a wonderful "Mad Max: Fury Road" inspired action sequence. The unique setting and fast pace set the tone for the rest of the adventure and let me know that I was in good hands for the rest of the film. Also, I believe that this is the first time that a Disney animated film of this type breaks the long standing cliche of the singular irredeemable "Disney villain." It's a nice departure from the typical Disney flick.
Despite having unique villains, the spotlight always stayed on Moana and Māui throughout the film. The two have fantastic chemistry, which makes their interactions fun to watch. Cravalho lends a distinct voice to Moana that only a local islander can. If you haven't noticed, people in Hawaiʻi do in fact have an accent. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays Dwayne '"The Rock" Johnson in all of his roles, and Māui is no exception. For most actors, that would become boring and repetitive, but Johnson is just too likable to fall into that category. Māui's blatant hubris makes for hilarious reactions from Moana, who is constantly frustrated by the demi-god's selfishness. The characters also work well in emotional scenes in addition to comedic and action ones. There are a couple of scenes in "Moana" that I admit I cried a little in. I haven't been quite that big of a mess since watching a certain tragic scene in "Inside Out."
Disney Animation Studios also does a phenomenal job with its animation. Disney has quickly been improving in the animation department, reaching photo-realistic levels of detail. The vibrant colors make for some of the most visually spectacular settings in any Disney movies. The island environment utilizes all of the best shades of green mixed with the bright colors of various flowers, most of which I've actually seen on Oʻahu. However, it's the water animation that truly steals the show in the animation department. The water looks so real that I felt like I could reach out and touch it. The shades of blue perfectly supplements the greens of the Polynesian islands, the browns and reds of Moana's boat, and the different hues of the sky throughout the day and night. The movie also does its part in keeping the art of hand-drawn animation alive through Māui's moving tattoos and a few other scenes.
The animation and characters are all great in "Moana," but the real standout of the film are musical numbers written by Lin-Manuel Miranda of "Hamilton" fame and Opetaia Foaʻi. "Moana" combines the flexibility and grandness of the Disney musical with the ingenious lyrics of the hit hip-hop Broadway musical, "Hamilton," as well as the diverse musical stylings of Polynesian culture. I could see every song in this film be nominated for an Academy Award. Unlike previous Disney musical installments such as "Frozen," "Moana" is actually structured as a proper musical. Previously introduced themes come back into play later on in the movie in emotionally impactful ways. "How Far I'll Go" and "We Know the Way" could become the next "Let It Go." Let's just hope that it's not overplayed to an annoying degree. My personal favorite song from the movie is "You're Welcome," sung by Johnson. It sounds the most like a Broadway song, and even pulls a few visuals similar to what you would see in "The Lion King" Broadway musical.
If I had one problem with the songs, it would be that there aren't enough of them. The movie soundtrack features a few songs that never made it into the movie, and I would like to see some of them fully realized. The number of songs sort of hits a drop-off point in the second half of the film, although this is common in most movie musicals as things get more serious.
The only problems I had with "Moana" are clearly nitpicks. While the film avoids usual Disney tropes such as making the lead a princess and forcing in a romance, there are still a few cliches I dislike that found their way into "Moana." The disapproving father trope is growing tired, and Moana follows the all-too-familiar Disney princess mindset of wanting to explore further than she's allowed to. The latter isn't a bad cliche in itself, but we've already seen that with Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Rapunzel, and Anna. It's about time for some variety with our Disney female leads. There's a moment at the end of the film that a consider a bit of a cop out with the progression of one of the main characters. It's not a complete turn, but I could've used a little lasting consequence from the plot. Also near the end, the film does a certain cliche that I'm sick of. This particular one always brings the plot to an awkward and painful halt in whatever movie it's in. The scene does lead to a genuinely nice moment and song, however, so it's not as bad as it could have been. "Moana" also doesn't have as much under the surface to say as "Zootopia" did. It's very much just an adventure story with the required Disney moral sprinkled throughout. I don't necessarily need a deep social commentary, but a little complexity would have elevated the movie a bit more. However, I really scraped the bottom of the barrel for those complaints, and the film is fantastic nonetheless.
Disney has been on an upward trend for its last few movies, even surpassing Pixar at times. "Moana" is proof of how much passion and detail Disney artists put into their craft, especially in recent years. Unfortunately, there's no animated Disney movie announced for 2017 yet, but "Moana" gives me hope that, whenever the next animated film is dropped, it'll be even better.

The Endeavour Fund was founded in 2012 by Prince William, Prince Harry, and Kate Middleton, through The Royal Foundation (William and Harry's foundation that supports a variety of global causes). Inspired by the royals' commitment to support wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women, the fund supports sporting and adventure challenges that act as part of recovery and confidence-building for military service members transitioning to the next chapter of their lives. The Endeavour Fund Awards recognize outstanding accomplishment from each year's endeavors.
Harry and William personally know the importance of this support, as they both served in the British Armed Forces. Prince Harry rose in rank to become a captain and he served two tours of Afghanistan, while Prince William was a helicopter pilot for the Royal Air Force's Search and Rescue Force for five years.

Organize your child's voyage into learning and discovering with KidKraft's Puzzle Book Shelf. Colorful shelves are designed to fit perfectly into each other, adding a colorful feature to your child's bedroom. Built to be sturdy, the Puzzle Book Shelf is virtually untippable.
Adorable shelf with great craftsmanship!
I purchased the Primary Color Puzzle shelf for my son's room to house small toys and books and LOVED it so much that I ordered a 2nd one. It comes unassembled but requires a minimal amount of effort and time to put it together. I was very suprised at how sturdy it actually is and it is designed in such a way that the pieces actually lock together when you assemble it. There is no possibility of it coming apart if a child attempted to climb on it. The colors are very vibrant and it is so well made that it could potentially last many years. I would highly recommend the Puzzle Book Shelf for any child's room. You won't be disappointed!
I received this item about 3 days ago and assembeled it, it was easy to assemble, only takes about 15 minutes, I looked at all the screw holes to make sure the boards were not cracked, today I noticed, all the shelves were cracked along the front edge. More chinese made stuff that is junk. with such large cracks I do not know how long it will hold up.

Meanwhile, demand for airline flights and airplanes continues to rebound, and Congress looks poised to pass two bills that should greatly benefit GE.
Given these points, I remain very bullish on GE stock.
Among the factors holding down the shares are the continued bearishness of JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) analyst Stephen Tusa, worries about the Delta variant of the novel coronavirus, and concerns about whether Congress will pass the infrastructure and budget bills that it's considering.
All of these fears, however, are likely to prove to be baseless.
Q2 Results and GE Stock
Excluding acquisitions, GE's Q2 orders jumped 30% year-over-year (YOY) and 7% versus Q1, while its revenue from services soared 50% YOY. Moreover, on GE's Q2 earnings conference call, CEO Larry Culp reported that the conglomerate's healthcare, Renewables, and Power Services businesses had generated sales similar or better than 2019.
The conglomerate's industrial free cash flow jumped by $2 billion YOY, and GE expects its 2021 industrial free cash flow to be $3.5 billion-$5 billion, up from its previous outlook of $2.5 billion-$4.5 billion. GE's industrial profit margin jumped ten percentage points YOY.
Moreover, the Power unit's services revenue surged 15% YOY, while the sales of its aviation Commercial Services business climbed 50% YOY. The revenue of its Healthcare and Gas Power units rose above 2019 levels, as Gas Power continued to prove its naysayers wrong.
Aviation's orders came in above management's outlook, and the unit's sales rose 10% YOY. Excluding one contract loss, the unit's margins would have climbed at least 10% YOY.
The Healthcare unit's orders rose an extraordinary 20% YOY, excluding last year's ventilator sales. The Renewable unit's sales climbed 9% YOY, and the company expects the segment's equipment orders to increase significantly versus the first six months of the year, CFO Carolina Dybeck Happe said.
Aviation's Outlook Continues To Rebound
Culp said that the fundamentals of the global aviation sector are improving, citing a sizeable uptick in departures this quarter, with even greater momentum in June and July.
"Shop visit volume and scope improved slightly sequentially," he added. "We anticipate continued sequential volume growth and scope expansion through the year."
GE continues to expect plane departures to climb 20% in 2021 and come in 30% below 2019 levels, Culp noted.
Further, sizable green shoots continue to emerge across the Aviation sector. For example, Airbus (OTC:EADSY) delivered 47 planes last month, China has begun auditioning Boeing's (NYSE:BA) 737 MAX plane, Delta (NYSE:DAL) bought 29 used Boeing planes, and Alaska Air (NYSE:ALK) ordered 12 737 MAX planes.
This data suggests that the Delta variant is not preventing consumers from flying.
Fears Are Overdone
In the wake of GE's Q2 results, JPMorgan's Tusa, who has remained bearish on GE stock even as the shares nearly doubled since December 2018 and more than doubled since May 2020, unsurprisingly remained downbeat on the name.
He kept a $40 price target on GE, versus its current level of about $100.
As a key reason for his bearishness, Tusa cited the industrial free cash flow estimates that the conglomerate used to account for its decision to end a practice called factoring as of April. Factoring refers to the longtime practice of GE's industrial units of selling their accounts receivables, i.e. the money that they're owed by their customers.
Tusa questioned whether the free cash flow estimates that GE used are realistic, calling them "detached from reality and backward-looking." Under Culp, however, I've always found GE's financial reporting to be straightforward and accurate.
Additionally, I assume that GE's estimates were based on the amounts for which it's previously sold its account receivables and/or the proportion of its account receivables that it's been able to convert into revenue in the past.
Since, many large healthcare companies, major electric utilities, and established airlines are not in major financial distress, I don't think there's any reason to doubt that the conglomerate's estimates are realistic.
As far as the Congressional bills are concerned, I believe that the two factions of the Democratic Party that are currently arguing about them have every reason to come to an agreement.
With Congressional elections, a little more than a year away and control over both houses at stake, Democrats' prospects have taken a hit due to worries about inflation, the coronavirus, and immigration.
I'm convinced that Congressional Democrats badly want achievements that can counteract these issues. Clearly, the two bills represent their best chance of attaining such achievements.
Since the infrastructure bill would greatly boost spending on the electrical grid and the budget includes a great deal of spending on renewable energy, GE and GE stock should get big boosts from both pieces of legislation.
The Bottom Line on GE Stock
GE reported impressive Q2 results, and its outlook is strong. Yet GE's split-adjusted stock price is down about 10% since its May peak on overdone worries, creating a good buying opportunity for long-term investors.

Is Luxury Vinyl Plank - good option for main floor installation?
With increasing popularity of LVP or LVT floors we are asked a lot about whether it's a good option for main level of the house. Our answer is if you're looking for appreciated value in longer term or practicality of the floor. Or how long they plan to stay in that house; if it's a rental property or main residence. Luxury vinyl floors are durable and generally waterproof floors. They do not scratch easy and are installed floating method. Prices are fairly lower that wood floors.
what is the difference or which is a better choice for your flooring project.
The names are descriptive of the main difference between two. Solid wood is an all solid board milled from different species of trees, oak, cherry, maple, etc. No other processes - except for adjusting moisture content and cutting-has been performed to make this floor. As a result this type of floor is sandable.
Engineered wood on the other hand is not one piece of wood made from certain wood. It's mostly several plies of wood, 3, 5, 7 or more of backing-mostly made from poplar wood- and then the actual wood as a film on top. This top veneer is what makes the distinction between various engineered wood, like oak, maple, walnut, cherry, etc. Also this top veneer can come in difference thicknesses. Most of the times you can not sand an engineered floor since you only have a thin film or veneer to sand. But there are also some small fraction of this type of flooring with thicker veneer that will give the possibility of one time or maybe 2 time sanding.
Main application of solid wood flooring is stapling or nailing over a plywood subfloor. It's not always possibly to use this type of floor over concrete. To do that there may be need for installation of plywood over concrete on use of specialized glue which prevents concrete moisture affecting solid wood floor. Engineered wood flooring can be installed over most any subfloor, however, it is ideal for over concrete installation as the normal moisture emission won't affect it.

The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Michael Baldwin's Fate, Nikki and Neil Hooking Up, Sharon and Dylan Next Y&R Super Couple?

"The Young and the Restless" spoilers tease that fans of the CBS soap are in for some exciting upcoming storylines. Y&R executive producer Jill Farren Phelps and head-writer Chuck Pratt recently sat down with TV Insider's Michael Logan for an exclusive interview and dished some exciting spoilers about some of the most controversial storylines currently on the CBS soap. Y&R Fans have been discussing Michael Baldwin's cancer and the character's fate for months on social media – and rumors have been flying that the iconic character will be killed off – but according to the showrunners, Michael Baldwin isn't going anywhere.
"The Young and the Restless" fans were shocked last year when it was revealed that Michael Baldwin has prostate cancer – and since then Michael and his wife Lauren have had their ups and downs. On some days Michael appears to be healthy as a horse, and on other days he is fainting and skipping his treatments. Rumors have been floating around for months now that Christian LeBlanc is leaving "The Young and the Restless," but Chuck Pratt revealed in the interview that LeBlanc's character will not be dying on his watch. Pratt dished, "But this is a type of cancer that's basically curable and everybody knows we're not going to kill off Michael, so that meant we had to wrestle with complications."
As far as the demise of fan favorite couple Michael Baldwin and Lauren Fenmore, "The Young and the Restless" spoilers tease that their marriage is definitely sinking faster than the Titanic. Jill Farren Phelps explained that Michael and Lauren and Cane and Lily's marriages were becoming rather boring and they needed to spice them up by pushing Lauren and Cane together because, "Great love stories have to fall apart. They have to be challenged."
In other "The Young and the Restless" spoiler news, fans have had a tough time getting past the fact that Frankenstein Jack Abbott – Victor's monster, has been sleeping with Phyllis. The word "rape" has been tossed around a lot among Y&R fans online because the doppelganger is basically tricking Phyllis in to sleeping with him under false pretenses. Chuck Pratt discussed the complicated storyline with Michael Logan and reassured fans that someone, presumably Victor, will be paying the price – the crime is not going to unpunished.
"The Young and the Restless" spoilers and rumors have been teasing a possible romantic connection between Neil Winters and Nikki Newman for several weeks now – and according to the Y&R showrunners, that is definitely a possibility. Neil and Nikki have bonded over their recent drinking benders and crime spree – and we weren't imagining the sparks flying between the two characters. Pratt dished, "It's a fascinating relationship between codependent alcoholics and we will continue to play that, getting deeper and deeper into it. It's controversial and that's why we like it."
Another controversial couple that seems to be causing a lot of raucous among fans is Sharon Newman and Dylan McAvoy, when spoilers first began hinting that the two characters would be hooking up – there were mixed feelings about the pair. According to Phelps, the Y&R writers are going full steam ahead with the new couple – because Sharon "needs saving" and Dylan is "a saver." As far as all of the talk on the internet about the Y&R writers giving Sharon Case poor storylines and turning her character in to a villain – Jill Farren Phelps insists that Sharon Case loves playing a crazy woman – and she never complains about what they give her to work with.
So Y&R fans, do you believe that Michael Baldwin won't be killed off – or do you think the showrunners are just trying to keep Christian LeBlanc's exit a secret for now? How do you feel about the writers simultaneously breaking up the two most solid marriages on Y&R – Cane and Lily and Lauren and Michael? Would you be intrigued by Neil and Nikki hooking up? What about Sharon and Dylan – are they the next super couple on the CBS soap? Let us know what you think in the comments below and don't forget to check CDL tomorrow for more "The Young and the Restless" spoilers and news.

Core Welfare Indicators Questionnaire 2004

St. Lucia LCA
The Core Welfare Indicator Questionnaires (CWIQ) survey has been developed over the past 5 years and mainly deployed in African countries as an attempt to improve the timeliness and reliability of poverty monitoring.
The survey was designed to collect information needed to identify and classify target groups and provide basic welfare indicators. It was in addition meant to collect information to measure access, utilisation and satisfaction with social services. The survey was developed by a group of donors and institutions including the World Bank, DFID, the ILO, UNICEF and UNDP. It adapted the technique of optical reading which permits fast processing of the data and thus timely release of the results.
The St. Lucia CWIQ survey objectives were as follows:
• To introduce the survey to the Caribbean Region as an improved and affordable poverty monitoring tool.
• To test the suitability of the poverty predictors for the Caribbean.
• To provide welfare indicators for monitoring poverty and welfare programmes in St. Lucia

The CWIQ sample is based on a two stage systematic random sample, the first stage being the Enumeration District (ED), and the second the household. A full list of EDs is available from the 2001 Population Census arranged by 10 Administrative Districts with household numbers and details of the percentage of households belonging to professional / office based workers as well as the percentage engaged in agriculture. St Lucia comprises around 47,275 households and the average ED consists of 118 households.
The CWIQ sample of EDs was drawn from a list of all 401 EDs arranged (i) by District and then (ii) by percent of office employees. This ensured a broad geographical coverage and a balance of urban and rural households. The sample of EDs was drawn using probability proportional to size (PPS) by accumulating household populations and selecting a fixed sampling interval with a random start point.
The objective of the sample is to obtain a nationally representative result with minimum cost and in the available time frame of 10-14 days. The original intention was to sample of 1750 households in 220 EDs, working at 8 interviews per day. However, it was recognised that this work rate was not achievable given household accessibility. A work rate of 3-4 per day per enumerator was considered feasible. To enable rapid completion, the number of EDs was set at 109 and the number of households per cluster increased to 12, giving a total sample of 1308 (around 3% of the national population of households). This is expected to be large enough to generate statistically reliable results for the main reporting disaggregations (poverty quintile, urban-rural, age categories, etc.). Only for District tabulations, where in the smaller Districts1 the sample drawn is quite small, is there a possibility of rather high margins of error due to small samples.
The resulting sample contains 62 urban and 47 rural EDs.

Mode of data collection
Face-to-face [f2f]
Several control measures were organised to ensure the quality of the information collected. First, the supervisors were instructed to perform on spot interviews and to complete a review of all filled questionnaire. In the supervisors' manual, a special section with detailed instructions on verification and editing of questionnaire was added to serve as a guide for quality control. Second, the co-ordinators were also instructed to verify 10% of the filled questionnaires although in practice they verified most of them. In addition, the DOS senior staff carried out further checks on the completed questionnaires before they were sent for data processing. A full meeting with all co-ordinators, monitors and data processing team was held at the end of the first week to review the survey progress. Necessary instructions and recommendations made during the meeting were conveyed to the field staff for implementation.

Cleaning Operations
The data processing system for CWIQ surveys is tightly integrated with all survey development and implementation activities. This is necessary to achieve the objective of producing reliable survey results as quickly as possible. The specific objectives of the CWIQ data processing system for the St. Lucia survey are to:
- Produce a survey database that is complete, consistent and has all known anomalies documented.
- Produce survey results (data summaries, cross-tabulations, core indicators and sampling errors) within a week of the end of field work.
- Facilitate the preparation of the survey report within three weeks of the end of field work.
- Create a survey archive with all data, documentation and reports for dissemination to data users as soon as the survey report is available.
The CWIQ data processing system has four principal functions: (1) data entry, (2) data validation and correction, (3) preparation of survey results, and (4) creation of the survey archive. Data entry consists of converting the information in the survey questions to a machine readable form for processing in the subsequent phases.
The CWIQ data processing system is designed to process the generic CWIQ questionnaire. Like the generic questionnaire, the generic system is never used for a real survey, but is modified to fit the specific needs of each survey. As the generic questionnaire is adapted to local requirements, the data processing system is adapted for changes to the questionnaire and survey outputs.
Data entry for CWIQ surveys is done by optical scanning of the questionnaires using TELEform, a form design and image processing system. As the questionnaire is modified, the processing specifications are also adapted. These specifications are the basis for the computer programmes that comprise the data processing system.
For the St. Lucia survey the questionnaire was modified in three iterations. Likewise, the data entry and validation parts of the system were modified for each version of the questionnaire. The first modifications were tested with questionnaires completed during the field pre-test of the questionnaire. As a result of these changes, the questionnaires modified for interviewer training.
During scanning, the scanner creates an image of each page of the questionnaire. The scanning software subsequently evaluates the scanned images and questionnaires with possible errors are subject to verification by the data entry operator. Typical errors include unidentified pages that can not be evaluated; questionnaires with missing or mismatched pages, unrecognisable hand printed characters or bubbles which are not completely shaded. The time required for image evaluation and subsequent verification depends on how well the questionnaire was filled in. The interviewers completed hand printing and shading exercises during training to einsure that questionnaires were properly filled in.
After all potential errors for the EA were verified by the data entry operator, the data from the questionnaires was copied to transfer to the questionnaire database maintained on the network file server. The output of the scanner on the Windows Server was checked for certain errors and the questionnaire data was not transferred to the database until all such errors were corrected. The questionnaire data for the EA was then validated to insure that all questions had valid responses and that the responses were logically consistent. Any errors detected during validation were printed on a validation listing along with the questionnaire data. This list was compared to the questionnaires to determine the reason for the error and how to correct it. Corrections were recorded directly on the validation list which was use to enter corrections in the database. The validation was repeated after the corrections were entered until all errors were eliminated.
This process continued as the fieldwork progressed and was finished two days after fieldwork ended. When the questionnaires from all enumeration areas had been validated, the entire database was validated to insure that no errors had been overlooked.
The database updated with the analysis variables was used to prepare data summaries of the questionnaires and to produce cross-tabulations defined in the CWIQ tabulation plan. The summaries and the Tables were available two days after the final data validation. Sampling errors for the core welfare indicators were computed as the final step of the data processing system.

Q: C++ header files for HDF5 are missing I am trying to compile a C++ program using g++ which uses the H5Cpp.h header file. g++ is producing a fatal error saying:
fatal error: H5Cpp.h: No such file or directory

I have already installed the library libhdf5-serial-dev and whatever else comes with it. I am using ubuntu 15.10.
Checked that H5Cpp.h is actually present in /usr/include/hdf5/serial/ as per the file list of package libhdf5-dev.

A: As I mentioned in the edit of the question, the files are there, but g++ can't find them. The HDFGroup tells us to use h5c++ to compile programs which use hdf5 header files. As steeldriver mentions in the comments on the question, it is a helper script; I tested it, and it has solved the problem I was facing.


The average collection period is Average Accounts Receivable divided by the average daily sales.
If your customers have 30 days to pay, the average accounts receivable should be 30, meaning the customers are taking 30 days to pay. If it's more than 30, the customers are not paying their bills on time. If it's less than 30, the customers are paying early.


At least some of these people show that they belong in group 7, as they attempt to murder Abinadi.
Who is Abinadi? He holds no office. He is not commissioned by us. Noah holds the keys and didn't consecrate him. Who is Abinadi to judge us? He's way outside of his stewardship, so he has no right to receive such a revelation. Any revelation that God wants to give, he can give through Noah or the priests. A loving God wouldn't let his people go astray. Why else would you have a king with priesthood keys, if God's just going to call someone from left field?
The same objection can be applied by husbandmen to servants in any generation. The husbandmen are the chief priests. They have a rightful claim on the management of the vineyard. They have procedures in place for perpetuating their institution (DC 42:11). The servants come from outside of those procedures, authorized by the Lord himself.
Why not be positive, Abinadi? Why not focus on all the good the church does? Aren't you worried that your criticisms will damage someone's testimony? Don't you remember the quote that was inserted into the History of the Church and attributed to Joseph Smith?
Doesn't Christ hate contention (3 Nephi 11:29-30)? Shouldn't Abinadi have kept the truth hidden, since presenting it required him to contend with those who believed false traditions?
Noah was right: Abinadi's words certainly had stirred up the people to anger. Is that one of the fruits of a true prophet? Aren't we supposed to get warm, happy, peaceful feelings when we hear truth? The flattery of the priests certainly made the people feel those things, because it told them all was well, they were on a ship to salvation, and the Lord was at the helm. Why didn't Abinadi's message make them feel those positive things?
If a man like Abinadi came to teach the Latter-day Saints, would we expect his message to please us? Would he tell us all is well? Would his words agree with the flattering sermons we preach to each other? Would he point to our richly decorated buildings as evidence that Zion prospers? Do we place our trust in the religious authority and institution those buildings symbolize? Do we set our hearts on riches? Do whoredoms not run rampant among the LDS today, perhaps even more so than among King Noah's people? Do we value the flattering words found in our magazines and manuals over the plain truth of scripture? Do we force the words of scripture through the filter of our traditions rather than simply reading them for what they say, when we bother to reference them at all? Do we use the scriptures a source of marketing buzzwords by taking phrases out of context and applying them to our programs in an attempt to give the impression of divine approval?
If a man like Abinadi came to us without official credentials, with a troubling message, contradicting our traditional doctrines by simply reading and expounding the scriptures, preaching repentance, testifying of our idolatry, and laying bare our spiritual disconnection, would we would react any differently than Noah's people?
The people rejected Abinadi because of their hard hearts and blind eyes. How do we know if our eyes are blind? What would we expect to see if our eyes weren't blind?
These verses describe a binary path. If the people cultivate the attributes listed in verses 5-7, their callings and elections will be made sure, they will know Christ personally, and thereby be received into "the church and kingdom, and the elect of God" (DC 84:34). If they don't develop those attributes, they will be "blind, and cannot see afar off." Therefore if you survey a population and find that few of them, if any, are making their calling and election sure, you could safely say that "their eyes were blind", as were Noah's people.
'Blind eyes', in the scriptures, isn't a term applied only to people who don't see the value in religion; it describes highly religious people who don't receive the second comforter and make their calling and election sure. In fact, in 2 Peter 1 and Mosiah 11, it describes God's covenant people specifically. Though most Latter-day Saints will think it is normal for few among them to receive those blessings, and will think it is appropriate that they don't really know how to obtain them, that has never been an acceptable status quo for the Lord. When God's people are not receiving those blessings, and when their leaders are not qualified to teach them to do so (having not done so themselves), God will send servants to invite them to repent.
The blindness of Noah's people should remind Latter-day Saints of our continued condemnation. In our case, our "darkened" minds stem from our refusal to simply read and obey the scriptures by coming unto Christ (D&C 84:49-58).
Thus Abinadi, with no earthly authority but the truth of his message, using only persuasion and pure knowledge, invited his brothers and sisters to repent.
