"It's a penis! ": Elon Musk once again shows off his" erected "SpaceX rocket
Here is the billionaire's 'big f ****** rocket' (Image: SpaceX)
Elon Musk unleashed several graphic images of his huge, shiny rocket and his Twitter followers got a little pissed off.
The billionaire took to Twitter to share graphic representations of the SpaceX spacecraft on the surface of Mars and the Moon, prompting his followers to make predictable jokes about its phallic form.
"It's a penis! A man boldly proclaimed.
"Looks like an ad ** k with fins," another roared.
'I love it.'
"Weakly he wants to send his erect rocket to the moon," continued one of Musk's supporters.

AFTER : Elon Musk remained shaken after virtual Gandhi became a mass murderous megalomaniac warmonger
Other Muskovites have said that Starship looks like a gigantic high-end sex toy.
"Boss, that looks like a $ 500 dildo," one Twitter user said.
We were recently given real insight into the powerful human craft and it was just as impressive as you could imagine.
The SpaceX spacecraft is currently being assembled in Boca Chica, near Brownsville, Texas.
Photographs showed the craft under construction with what looks like its nose cone on the ground, waiting to be assembled.
Starship was previously known as BFR (Big Falcon Rocket or Big F *** ing Rocket) and is at the center of Musk's plans to send humans to Mars.
Musk now believes humanity will be able to establish a permanent colony on the Red Planet in just over three decades.

"It is possible to create an autonomous city on Mars by 2050, if we start in 5 years," he wrote on Twitter.
The billionaire said he plans to take the big step towards the Red Planet and abandon Earth for good.
"I know exactly what to do," the founder of Tesla and SpaceX told HBO in a interview broadcast last year.
"I'm talking about moving there. "
However, Musk had no illusions about the danger of this endeavor.
"We think you can come back but we're not sure," he added.
"Your probability of dying on Mars is much higher than on Earth.
'It's going to be hard. There is a good chance of dying while going to a small canister through deep space.
Musk won't have the chance to relax like this when he moves to Mars (Image: YouTube)
The billionaire said he would work "non-stop" to establish a base on Mars.
If you're brave enough, you might even have a chance to join him.
In 2018, Musk insisted that the Mars Colony would not just be an "escape route for the rich."
Speaking to SXSW, the billionaire hinted that people with bank balances in the red will also be allowed to live on the Red Planet.
It's unclear if they would actually want to do this, as life on Mars is likely to be pretty bad at first.
Musk said it would house only "the most basic infrastructure" with "just a base to create thruster, a powerhouse, breath domes to grow crops in, all kinds of fundamentals without which you. could not survive, "he said.
The billionaire fears the rise of artificial intelligence may pose a threat to humanity (Photo: Paramount / Skydance Productions)
So that doesn't mean good old pubs, Greggs bakeries or anything else that makes life semi-bearable here in the UK – in the beginning.
"There will be an explosion of entrepreneurial opportunities as Mars will need everything from iron foundries to pizzerias to nightclubs," he added.
Residents might expect a fairer form of government called direct democracy in which "everyone votes on every issue," Musk said.
He hopes to send a spacecraft to Mars as early as next year and build a colony to counter the "risk of human extinction," which he says could occur in the metallic hands of a super-intelligent computer.
At SXSW, he also warned: "Note my words: AI is much more dangerous than nuclear weapons … I'm very close to the cutting edge of AI and that scares me very much."

The old house of Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo doubled in price compared to the original purchase price.
Actor Song Joong Ki and his ex-wife never lived together at the newlywed house in Itaewon. The two divorced before the house was completed.
On August 9, Money Today reported that the value of the house that actor Song Joong Ki owns in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul has doubled compared to the original purchase price.
Kbiz update: Song Joong Ki appeared comfortable after having a new girlfriend, Song Hye Kyo confidently broke on the cover of Elle!
Weibo: "Song Joong Ki and his girlfriend celebrate the New Year together at Times Square, New York."
Song Hye Kyo beat Song Joong Ki with "The Glory" and saved the sluggish performance of Netflix
Song Joong Ki's girlfriend is said to have not received his parents' approval.
This property is also known as "the newlywed house of Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo". Experts said that the actor's house is currently worth at least 20 billion won (about 15.3 million USD) due to the actual transaction price skyrocketing.
Song Joong Ki spent 10 billion won (about 7.6 million USD) to buy the house in November 2016. The actor demolished the original luxury villa and built a new building with 3 basements and 2 main floors. The area of the house is about 300 pyeong (about 992 m2).
However, the Descendants of the Sun couple have never lived here. The source said that after the wedding, the two moved to live temporarily at Song Hye Kyo's house. The house is said to have been vacant for 5 years due to Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo's divorce before the house was completed.
Song Joong Ki is one of the wealthiest real estate owners in the Korean entertainment industry. The total value of real estate Song Joong Ki holds is estimated at 50 billion won (about 38.3 million USD).
Currently, the actor lives in the Nine One Hannam complex, which is known as the most expensive house in Korea with a selling price of about 9.5 billion won (about 7.2 million USD).
He owns an apartment in the high-end complex Eterno Cheongdam. The apartment is located in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul and is worth at least 15 billion won ($11.5 million) or more. The actor's estate also includes a 165-square-foot home in Hawaii. The current price of the house is about 2.7 billion won (about 2 million USD).

DOG'S BEST FRIEND
Annals of the Dog-Human Relationship.
by Mark Derr.

Henry Holt & Company. $25.
A HISTORY OF DOGS
IN THE EARLY AMERICAS
by Marion Schwartz.
Selected drawings by Susan Hochgraf.
233 pp. New Haven:
Yale University Press. $27.50.
THE DOG IS MAN'S BEST FRIEND all right: matchless in service, loyalty and willingness of the heart. But that man is dog's best friend, as the title of Mark Derr's new book suggests, is a more troubling proposition, unless you admit that with man for a friend you don't need an enemy.
As nearly every dog book, including these two, points out, for 15,000 years man has fed and bred dogs out of the original wolf stock to do whatever man wants. The range and variety of this collaboration are startling. It is, moreover -- and this is a major thrust of Derr's broad-gauge book -- still evolving in all sorts of remarkable ways. Nevertheless, though the number of deaths has been rapidly declining lately, each year in this country some three million dogs are put down in shelters after being variously abused: fecklessly bred in puppy mills, sold (and bought) without care, abandoned, starved, tossed out of car windows, shot at ''for target practice,'' left with their collars on till the flesh grows around the collar and festers.
It is easy to see this mainly as the result of man's rush to the cities. For centuries dogs were bred to outdoor work; now most of them have no work except as pets locked up in apartments much of the day. But as Marion Schwartz's curious volume, ''A History of Dogs in the Early Americas,'' makes clear, dogs have always been subjected to bewilderingly different treatment at human hands. Schwartz is a physical anthropologist who describes herself as ''not a dog person.'' Somehow she got interested in studying the thousands of different images and myths and rituals involving dogs in the pre-Columbian Americas. How could one species, she wondered, and ''one nonhuman species at that . . . be so many things to so many people''?
The result is a fascinating, scholarly mishmash, with extraordinary drawings by Susan Hochgraf, about the way tribes, nations and peoples dealt with and portrayed man's best friend up to and just after the arrival of the Spanish in the early 1500s, with their huge man-killing war dogs. In some places dogs were revered and propitiated as deities, in others regarded as promiscuous and unclean. Some groups buried them with honor alongside their masters; others tossed dead dogs into the woods as carrion. In some groups puppies seem to have been suckled by village women; in others they were eaten raw or cooked up for dinner.
There is little explanation for these differences. The Mayas and Aztecs, Schwartz points out, were big dog eaters; the Incas found the practice abhorrent, though they tied their dogs up and beat them to make them howl, in the belief the howls would bring rain. Among the Nazca people of ancient Peru, hunting dogs slept on special raised platforms, to protect their feet from infestation by chiggers. She includes a Sioux poem describing a ceremony that involved hanging up a pair of live dogs, splitting them from nose to tail and then eating the entrails raw.
Mark Derr is a writer who regularly reports on the world of dogs. In The Atlantic Monthly in 1990, he earned the gratitude of thousands of people who care about the general condition of dogs in the United States by assaulting the American Kennel Club in chapter and verse for, among other things, its failure to do anything about the appalling practices of the puppy mills, dog brokers and pet stores that help provide the A.K.C.'s registration income.
This time out, in ''Dog's Best Friend,'' he takes another shot at the A.K.C. (it is a big target) and deals in passing with a considerable assortment of ancillary topics of more or less concern to dog people. Among them: How (and how not) to get a puppy. (Put at least as much thought and effort into it as you do buying a car.) The pros and cons of shock collars for serious training. (''I have not met a man who would voluntarily put one around his own neck.'') And the touchy subject of whether or not -- in order to cut down on dog bites -- it makes sense to outlaw specific breeds like pit bulls. He used to be against it, because the fault lies not with the breed but with the individual dogs and, especially, dog owners, who should be punished. But since the number of dog bites is increasing as more and more people buy a few ''vicious'' breeds and leave them untrained or deliberately make them savage, he thinks outlawing breeds may sometimes be necessary.
That's the bad (old) news. Derr's good news is the result of far-flung reporting on high-performance working dogs, the ways they are best trained and the people who are best at training them. Some of his subjects are unexpected, involving the skill of curs and feists (small mixed-breed dogs) at everything from treeing squirrels to cornering wild boars to controlling rambunctious cows. In New Mexico he looks in on the lives of Navajo herding dogs, which appear to be descended from some of the canines that figure in Marion Schwartz's book.
Other subjects, like Frisbee contests and the Iditarod -- the 1,100-mile, dog- and (occasionally) man-killing mush from Anchorage to Nome -- have already had considerable coverage by reporters, sometimes by Derr himself. He follows the Florida training of canine candidates for the famous, jaunty green-vested Beagle Brigade, who, if they graduate -- 40 percent or more don't -- sniff their way through baggage at busy airports alerting authorities to smuggled food. He explores the world of scents, noting that dogs of various breeds now seem to be able to scent the existence of some forms of cancer, as well as the smell of fear in suspects stealthily retreating from the scene of a crime. As aids in training them, commercial companies now chemically manufacture this scent, called ''pseudo-distressed body'' (joining ''pseudo-cocaine,'' ''pseudo-drowned victim'' and ''pseudo-explosive'').
Through it all, Derr keeps pressing on us practical evidence of a few basic points. He is a fan of the family mutt and against the present emphasis on purebred dogs, because the smaller the gene pool the greater the risk of genetic faults. Differences in talent and trainability, he says, often vary more between individual dogs within a single breed than between one breed and another. Their achievement depends more on being part of a human family as puppies and the way they are fed and trained than on genes, which he thinks, with regard to a dog's performance, are now wrongly viewed as the equivalent of divine predestination.
A hopeful corollary point is that especially at the very highest levels of achievement -- in crime and disease detection, for instance, and leading the blind -- dogs must be able to use their own intelligence. They cannot do their best, or indeed qualify, if crushed by the kind of discipline often applied to make them mere puppets of their masters' wills. It turns out, moreover, that somewhat milder training is producing winners in more standardized competitions like bird-dog field trials, sheepherding contests and even that frozen, 1,100-mile Alaskan mush.
Mark Derr is no dog-in-the-window sentimentalist. The world of working dogs, like the world itself, is harsh, and he knows it. He notes that reforms of training abuse got some help from the late arrival of women in these fields. After the women began to win, men began switching to slightly gentler ways. It is rare good news when doing the right thing pays off.

The final spot at the inaugural NPL finals series goes on the line tomorrow night when Adelaide Blue Eagles take on Campbelltown City for the FFSA NPL Championship.
The final spot at the inaugural NPL finals series goes on the line tomorrow night when Adelaide Blue Eagles take on Campbelltown City for the South Australia Premier League Championship.
The grand final will feature the traditional rivals from north-east Adelaide after both sides were able to navigate their way past the league-s runaway minor-premiers MetroStars.
Having finished the regular season in fourth place, Campbelltown City managed to negotiate their way through three sudden-death matches, which included two penalty shoot-outs, before their 1-0 win over MetroStars last weekend en route to the grand final.
City have not played in the title decider since 1994 but head coach Joe Mullen believes his side will not be overawed by the occasion and has the potential to go all the way.
"The result against MetroStars was a terrific performance," he said. "We-d been planning for that game not only during the week prior but since the last time we played them.
Mullen, who is in his first season with the club said his side-s tactics will vary slightly for the title decider but that the philosophy will be much the same.
"Obviously we-ll aim to again move the ball quickly in attack and have a high work rate in defence," he said.
"Having seen how they played against MetroStars we know they have some strong players and we will certainly give them the respect they deserve but we are not scared of what we-re facing.
There will be an added incentive up for grabs tomorrow night with South Australia being the only NPL federation that will send their grand final winners as opposed to their minor-premiers to the national finals series. While this potentially throws up some logistical problems for the team that qualifies due to limited preparation time, Mullen believes the right decision has been made.
"In South Australian football the champions have been the grand final winners so it makes sense they earn the right to contest the finals series.
Win or lose it-s sure to be a big end to the season for Campbelltown with the club holding their presentation night this Saturday and celebrating its 50th anniversary at a gala extravaganza next month.
Before all that can happen there-s a grand final to be played, with a crowd in excess of 5,000 expected to turn up to Coopers Stadium for the showpiece event. Campbelltown will go in as underdogs against the Blue Eagles but are thirsty to taste Premier League glory for the first time in 27 years.

Niti Aayog Releases School Education Quality Index
Education Index Niti Aayog School - September 30, 2019
30-September-2019 15:51 IST
NITI Aayog releases School Education Quality Index (SEQI)
About the Index
The School Education Quality Index (SEQI) was developed to evaluate the performance of States and Union Territories (UTs) in the school education sector. The index aims to bring an outcomes focus to education policy by providing States and UTs with a platform to identify their strengths and weaknesses and undertake requisite course corrections or policy interventions. In line with NITI Aayog's mandate to foster the spirit of competitive and cooperative federalism, the index strives to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and best practices across States and UTs.
SEQI aims to drive policy reforms that will improve the quality of school education. The index seeks to institutionalise a focus on enhancing education outcomes by driving improvements in learning levels, access, equity, infrastructure and governance processes.
The index recognises that school education is a subject on the Concurrent List and that State-level leadership is crucial for improving outcomes in a cost-effective manner. The index will serve as a regular and transparent review of the status of school education quality across the States and UTs.
Developed through a collaborative process including key stakeholders such as MHRD, the World Bank and sector experts, the index consists of 30 critical indicators that assess the delivery of quality education.
Index categories and Domains
SEQI is based on a set of indicators that measure the overall effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the Indian school education system. The index encourages States/UTs to improve their scores by showing progress across these aspects.
Kerala, Manipur and Chandigarh top in overall performance Haryana, Meghalaya, Daman & Diu show most improvement in the first edition of index.
School Education Quality Index (SEQI) was developed by NITI Aayog to evaluate the performance of States and Union Territories (UTs) in the school education sector. The index aims to bring an 'outcomes' focus to education policy by providing States and UTs with a platform to identify their strengths and weaknesses and undertake requisite course corrections or policy interventions.
The first edition of SEQI was released today by Dr Rajiv Kumar, Vice-Chairman, NITI Aayog, in the presence of NITI Aayog Member Dr Vinod Paul, CEO Mr Amitabh Kant and Ms Rina Ray, Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Human Resource and Development and representatives from the World Bank.
In line with NITI Aayog's mandate to foster the spirit of competitive and cooperative federalism, SEQI strives to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and best practices across States and UTs. Developed through a collaborative process, including key stakeholders such as Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD), the World Bank and sector experts, the index consists of 30 critical indicators that assess the delivery of quality education. These indicators are categorized as below:
Category 1: Outcomes
Domain 1: Learning outcomes
Domain 2: Access outcomes
Domain 3: Infrastructure and facilities for outcomes
Domain 4: Equity outcomes
Category 2: Governance processes aiding outcomes
Schooling should result in successful learning outcomes. A credible system of assessment in this regard is crucial to design necessary remedial actions. To ensure the system is geared towards learning, SEQI assigns almost half its weight to learning outcomes. This sends a strong signal across the nation to ensure the focus remains centred on learning outcomes.
To facilitate a like-for-like comparison, States and UTs have been grouped as Large States, Small States and UTs. Within each of these groups, the indicator values have been appropriately scaled, normalized and weighted to generate an overall performance score and ranking for each State and UT.
States' overall performance may hide variations in their performance on the underlying categories. Of the 20 Large States, 10 perform better on the Outcomes category, with the most noticeable performance differences observed in the cases of Karnataka, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh. The other Large States perform better on the Governance Processes Aiding Outcomes category, with the most noticeable performance differences observed in the cases of Odisha, Punjab and Haryana.
Of the eight Small States, seven perform better on the Outcomes category, with the most noticeable performance differences observed in the cases of Manipur, Tripura and Goa. Sikkim is the only Small State that performs better on the Governance Processes Aiding Outcomes category.
Of the seven UTs, four perform better on the Outcomes category, with the most noticeable performance differences observed in Dadra & Nagar Haveli. Delhi, Daman & Diu and Lakshadweep perform better on the Governance Processes Aiding Outcomes category
States' and UTs' performance on Learning Outcomes is driven by their results on the National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2017. Their performance on Access Outcomes is primarily driven by enrolment ratios at the secondary level and transition rates from upper-primary to secondary level. In terms of Infrastructure & Facilities for Outcomes, States' and UTs' performance is strongly linked to the presence of Computer Aided-Learning (CAL) at the elementary level and vocational education at the secondary and senior-secondary level.
Among the 20 Large States, 18 improved their overall performance between 2015-16 and 2016-17. The average improvement in these 18 states is 8.6 percentage points although there is a lot of variation around that average in terms of the fastest and slowest improving States. Due to this variation, many States that improved their overall performance score still show a decline in rank.
Five Small States have shown an improvement in their overall performance score between 2015-16 and 2016-17, with the average improvement being around nine percentage points. However, as in the case of Large States, there is considerable variation between the fastest and slowest improving States. States such as Meghalaya, Nagaland and Goa outpaced the others, improving by 14.1, 13.5 and 8.2 percentage points respectively, thus improving their ranks in the process.
All seven UTs have shown an improvement in their overall performance scores. The average improvement is 9.5 percentage points. Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Puducherry improved their overall performance scores by 16.5, 15.0 and 14.3 percentage points respectively, which enabled them to improve their ranking on incremental performance.
SEQI also included an analysis of States and Union Territories for each indicator under study. For instance, indicators such as average score in Class 3, 5 and 8 for Language and Mathematics, Transition Rates from primary to upper-primary level, capturing equity in learning outcomes between general and marginalised sections of society, supply a wealth of data for future action and policy design for every State.
States and UTs are ranked on their overall performance in the reference year 2016-17, as well as on their annual incremental performance (difference in the overall performance) between the reference year and base year (2015-16). The rankings present incredible insights on the status of school education across States/UTs and their relative progress over time.
A brief snapshot of the top and bottom performing States and Union Territories is as follows. The detailed report can be accessed at: http://social.niti.gov.in/

20. Karnataka
Small States 1. Meghalaya
2. Nagaland
7. Mizoram

3. Puducherry 4. Lakshadweep
5. Chandigarh
SEQI is envisioned as a dynamic instrument that will continue to evolve. Over time, the relevance of the existing indicators and the availability of data for new indicators will be factored into the index design. In particular, the linkages between policy actions and SEQI indicators will be analyzed to reflect the efforts made by States and UTs to improve school education.

Hi there lovely peeps. How's it going? Vera here today for your weekend inspiration.
One of my favorite kind of card to make are interactive card, especially the kind that make people say how does it work? Like this magic slider card. ;) I think this would be such a fun card to give to kids and adults alike.
For this card, I used a set that's close to my heart, because this set from SugarPea Designs called Caring Critters is part of sets designed specifically for my Caring Hearts Card Drive (that is going on full swing right now and you have 1 more month to send in your cards). We started with just designing sentiment set, then we got way excited and ended up with extra set. Because after all, what could be better than cute critter caring happy mail, right? And, with the sale of this set, portion of the profit is donated to Alzheimer Association.
It kind of hard to see, but the background actually stamped with MFT Etched Flower Background Stamp. If you click on the pic, you could see a large version of the pic & it will show the background better.
Now, the fun part! As you pull the tag, taadaa..... a colored version of the cheeky li'l monkey is appearing.
And, here with the tag completely pull out of the frame. I made the scalloped frame using MFT Die-namics Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frames and the tag using MFT Die-namics Pierced Traditional Tag Stax.
Fun card, right? And, how cute is this swinging li'l fella? I just love the way his tail wrap around the happy mail.
Well peeps, that's all from me today. I hope this weekend you will take the time to make some cards for Caring Hearts Card Drive. We sure could use some cards. Right now it's slowly trickling in. LOL, every year it's like that and I always get nervous. I want to reach as many nursing home as possible and I can only do it with your participation. So, let's get creative, make some cards & spread some joy!! Looking forward to getting your Caring Hearts package. Again, all info for Caring Hearts Card Drive can be found HERE.
love this! so cute and fun to see him turn into color!


Who's Day is it Anyway?
Are you ready to create something amazing?
Are you a Photographer? If you're looking for tips, mentoring, or Photo Education, I'd love to share my knowledge and experience with you! Let's Make a Plan together!

Egypt 'Asks Israel to Mediate' in Ethiopia Nile Dam Dispute
By The New Arab
Global Research, April 28, 2018
The New Arab 26 April 2018
Egypt has asked Israel officials to mediate in a dispute over a controversial Ethiopian dam that will drastically impact Cairo's share of the Nile's waters, sources have told The New Arab's sister publication.
The Egyptian government has requested Israel use its leverage in Ethiopia to ensure stalled talks over the latter's controversial Renaissance Dam project resume, Egyptian diplomatic sources said on Thursday.
"Egypt's move towards Israel has come after decision-makers have found themselves in an unfortunate position, with Addis Ababa refusing to attend talks in Cairo after the last meeting collapsed," the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said.
"Egypt has asked Israel to use its influence in Ethiopia to persuade the country to hold a new round of talks,"
The sources added that Egyptian officials have utilised recent communications, in which Tel Aviv has sought Egyptian mediation to end ongoing protests in Gaza, to make the request.
Earlier this month, the foreign ministers of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan met in Khartoum but talks ended with no deal on the lingering dispute of access to the Nile's waters.
Egypt has called for another meeting in Cairo.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry last week warned Ethiopia that a chance to end the dispute would be lost if it did not attend talks.
"Egypt will not accept the status quo… and continues to defend the interests of its people regarding the Nile by several means," Shoukry said.
The top diplomat said that Egypt has yet to receive a response from Addis Ababa and Khartoum to its invitation to the tripartite meeting in Cairo.
Cairo fears that once commissioned the dam will reduce water supplies from the Nile to Egypt. Ethiopia and Sudan are expected to benefit from the construction.
Egypt relies almost totally on the Nile for irrigation and drinking water, and says it has "historic rights" to the river, guaranteed by treaties from 1929 and 1959.
Egypt's parliament recently passed a law allowing the government to restrict the cultivation of crops that require a large amount of water, amid the fears over the country's water security.

St. John Paul II Catholic School in Sellersburg, IN has a rich history. Construction on the school began in 1949. The first church was located in the basement of the school building. The second floor of the church/school contained classrooms and temporary living quarters for the three Sisters of Providence who were to staff the school. St. Paul Catholic School opened its doors on September 12, 1949, with 137 students enrolled in grades 1-8. In 1970, the 7th and 8th grades were dropped due to a lack of enrollment and funding. When a new church was built in 1973 the school expanded to the basement. Enrollment climbed in the 1990s with the increase of homes and businesses in Sellersburg. A new building with a gymnasium and five classrooms opened in 1999 as a joint effort between St. Paul and St. Joe Hill parishes. The merging of the two parishes brought with it a new name for our school – St. John Paul II Catholic School for the 2015-2016 school year. In 2017-18, we were thrilled to announce the addition of Grade 7 back on our campus, followed by the addition of Grade 8 at the start of the 2018-19 school year.
Today, St. John Paul II Catholic School (JPII) has 262 students. Our student population is made up of 75% Catholic and 25% Non-Catholic children.
At JPII, we strive to fully use resources from the Archdioceses of Indianapolis Office of Catholic Education and the Indiana Department of Education to help them best meet the needs of our students. Along with the important religious studies and sacramental preparation at St. John Paul II Catholic School we provide a strong academic curriculum based on the Indiana Curriculum Standards. Our ISTEP+ scores are outstanding! For a snapshot of our scores compared to area schools, please go to the ISTEP+ tab. 100% of our third-grade students have passed the IREAD3 test each of the four years it has been given. Woven throughout all subject areas and all parts of our day are the Christ-centered beliefs that are so important to all of us. The children at St. John Paul II Catholic School receive a wonderful moral and academic foundation that is such a strong building block for future success.
While the academic standards are being achieved we also have a lot of fun at our school to keep it interesting and exciting for the children. Some of the activities that have become hallmarks of St. John Paul II Catholic School are the Living Rosary, Halloween Costume Parade, All Saints Day Celebration, Santa's Secret Shop, Christmas Programs, numerous Catholic Schools Week Activities, Passion Play, May Crowning, Derby Activities, Grade Level (6th - 8th) retreats and CYO camping trip, the Seventh Grade trip to Chicago, IL, and the Eighth Grade trip to Washington D.C.
Our Arts and Athletic programs are important to us and continue to grow, in addition to elective course offerings. Learn more about us here: https://stjohnpaulschool.org/profile
We look forward to what the future holds for the joint St. John Paul II Parish. Whatever that may be, it will certainly include a school that continues to educate the whole child so that they will grow to be the person that God calls them to be. Strong foundations start here. Start here, succeed anywhere.


Art director at advertising agency Joe Public, Kgodisho Mowa, recently completed a coveted learnership with Umuzi Photo Club, graduating with a diploma in advertising and with a special focus on graphic design and photography.
"Being a student at Umuzi has taught me to push hard because the setup there is to learn as much as you can in nine months. This taught me to think quick and work fast but still have fun," he says.
Born in Ga-Mphahlele, a town just outside Polokwane in Limpopo Province, Kgodisho's projects are autobiographical, often exploring the slow pace of rural life. While other works go go head-on with politics, identity and more.
Kgodisho's interest in graphic design and the visual arts started at a young age.
Looking ahead he hopes to hone township and rural learners' talents in art and design through art programmes.


There are many people that ask about the definition of the tithe. In the broadest sense, the tithe definition means a tenth of one's increase – Deuteronomy 14:22. That is the simplest definition of the tithe accepted by a majority of the population. Although, there are many more branches of the definition that explain the tithe even further. For instance, some would say that a true tithe is given to the local church. Others debate on whether it is off your gross increase or your net increase. These branches, along with many more, of the tithing definition exist due to how one interprets specific scenarios in the bible. For example in Malachi 3:10, the tithe was delivered to the local storehouse, and in Proverbs 3:9 we are to honor the Lord with the first fruits of our increase.
Scholars and theologians constantly debate about the tithe definition. There is much debate largely because tithing was detailed in the Old Testament under the nation of Israel, and yet this prescription was not outlined for the Church in the New Testament. There seems to be many holes and many opportunities for personal interpretation of how we should prescribe the tithe into the New Testament Church.
The definition of the tithe was very simple and plainly laid out for Israel. They were to gather their harvest and count the tithe out from what they've gathered. For instance, if you had 100 apples, you must count them out from one-to-ten, and the tenth one you set aside for the Lord – Leviticus 27:32. As is stated in the previous verse, it did not matter if that tenth one was bruised or under-sized, you still set it aside. Note, that you set the tenth one aside, not the first one aside.
There were other rules under the tithe definition. First, the tithe generally went to the Levites, and in turn the levites gave a tenth of their tenth to the priestly line for the work of the temple. Next, there were generally three different "types" of the tithe. first, was the poor tithe – Deuteronomy 26:12. Second, was the feast tithe – Deuteronomy 14:22-23. Third, was the Levitical tithe – Numbers 18:24. Practically, the tithe included the poor and the Levites all the time, but those are generally how the tithe is categorized. The feast tithe was the most unique and was consumed by the whole nation of Israel as a feast celebration.
Most people argue that the total amount of tithes given by Israel equaled over 23%. I don't follow that logic, just for the simple fact that when the bible says 10% of all your increase, generally it means just 10%. Maybe that's too simple minded? I don't know.
Now that we have an abridged version of the tithe definition for Israel, what about the definition for the Church? Truthfully, you are asking the wrong person. I feel the definition of the tithe for the church is far more complicated than the IRS tax code. Like i said above, the definition of tithing for the New Testament Church has many holes and opportunities for personal interpretation. I'm of the persuasion that it doesn't belong in the Spirit-led Church anyway. I know. . . I know what you're saying, how can the Church operate without the tithe? Well, we obviously know how to operate without Levites, so i think we can survive without their salary requirements.
The Church operates under the capacity of the Holy Spirit in tune with the principles of God's word. I realize that we need to understand the definition of a principle but we'll make that for another post. In the end, we should all give willingly, cheerfully and liberally.
I know this was a quick synopsis of the definition of tithing, but without writing a few chapters and without a few hours, this seems to work out fine. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas that i missed that describes the tithe definition, we need to hear them. Please share them below.
whom should the pastor's wife give the tithe if she is an employer?
What should the tithe be used for ?
Matthew,23,23 Jesus made reference to specific groups tithes of mint, anise and cummin. He stated they ought give judgement, mercy, and faith, that these are weightier. I spiritually believe giving to the poor, is giving to GOD, as Christ stated. Give your tenth and more if its how your heart lead you, cause the heart is what GOD judges. But give where theres true need, not mere greed. That's why this subject isnt detailed in new testament. We have HIS spirit to guide and council. The least you've done for one of these, you've done for my FATHER in heaven. GOD bless.
Until you Tithe, The Devil will Tied you.
Jesus said give to God what is Gods and give to Ceaser what is Ceasers.
I cannot tell you what you should do. You should ask your teacher what you should do. Gods commandments should be written on your heart and the direction of the Holy Spirit will lead you down the narrow path.
God will reward you if you are faithful to him.
Did God not Give you 24 hours a day to live and breath? Then where is his 10% of that time? This generation has given into worry of riches and wealth of this world. They can not be taken with you. Should a man be so busy that he can not give God what he asks? What God asks can be taken with you.
Perhaps you simply don't believe in churches who don't follow the Way the Truth and the Life. That's understandable. There are many who call themselves Pastor who have not fully come to know the LORD first. They are puffed up with knowledge, making them less able to build the Church they profess to be building. So, I think it's more a matter of continuing to seek Him, all the while living out what we are being taught by the Spirit as we trust Him to do what He said He will do. Believe in Christ Jesus, and trust in the LORD. That's our job, first and foremost. Tithes become easy and natural for those who truly follow Jesus. It's the lifestyle of a true Christian to look and act as Jesus did.


In order to observe the effect of the aggregate phases between 2 mm and 16 mm without overlap with rheological effects induced by the cement hy-dration and without interactions with a threshold fine sand particle size that affects both, paste and aggregates, rheological experiments were conducted on a limestone filler based paste mixed with aggregates up to 16 mm. Vari-ous aggregate fractions were blended and mixed with the replacement paste in different volumetric ratios. The dry aggregates' flow coefficients were determined and compared to yield stress and plastic viscosity values at different aggregate volume fractions. The results indicated that the flow coefficient is not a suitable parameter to predict the performance of the aggregates in the paste. It was shown that the yield stress of pastes is largely determined by the blend of different aggregate fractions, while the plastic viscosity to large extend depends upon the coars-est aggregate fraction. Based on the results, ideal aggregate composition ranges for minimised yield stress are presented. For the plastic viscosity no such grading curves to achieve minimum values could be found, but high viscosity curves are identified.

Q: Buffered Reader Returns Null Hi i send an ajax call to server like this
$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: "...",
    dataType:'json',
    data:JSON.stringify(contact),
    success:function(){
        alert("success")
    }

At server i handle this request and trying to read the json object from request like this.
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try {
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(request.getInputStream()));
        String line = null;
        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
            sb.append(line);
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }

but br.readLine() returns null. Any idea why it happens?

A: Because you reached the end of the stream.
From the JavaDocs:

Returns: A String containing the contents of the line, not including any
  line-termination characters, or null if the end of the stream has been
  reached

Very likely an empty result is returned, the problem is somewhere else then. I don't know if the AJAX request is send as a body of the request, or as a POST parameter. Use request.getParameter("json") instead might help, but check with LiveHttpHeaders first, how your browser encodes the request and which parameter name is bound to the data. In this case you don't have to work with readline at all.

A: I tested it and there is no problem with how you use the HTTP request InputStream. The 'contact' element is most likely undefined at the time of the request. Therefore it is converted to an empty JSON string.
Try adding some fixed text to the 'data' field and you should see it working on server side.

Tonight I came home from work and started work on restoring some sense of sanity to the apartment.
I've made efforts over the past year or so to unpack from the house, get rid of what I don't need or want and make some space in here for the things I love.
I spent most of the night picking things up which were already unpacked, although I did manage to make a small dent around the dining room table as well.
A trip to the Hennepin Country Hazardous Waste Center (computer recycler) this weekend should help clear out some space…I've got a bunch of old computers that are just sitting in the middle of the floor gathering dust. 486DX/66's, a Pentium 60…even an old CompuAdd 386/25! The Apple IIgs I had while growing up will stay, along with all the currently used boxen.
Tomorrow night I'll try to finish off the kitchen and the books.
Getting these three things out of the way first is important - I know I need storage in all three areas, otherwise things will fall back into disrepair rather quickly. The rest of the stuff is assorted junk which will need to find its place - but the first three need to establish their places first.

If you're travelling as light as possible, every gram counts. A windbreaker like the ultra-light, 110g Houdini would be a mistake if you're going somewhere where rain either common or predictably heavy, but for short trips and occasional showers this is the ultimate solution.
OK, it's designed as a 'running shell', but we're not going to let that bother us. The Houdini is short, it's got elasticated wrists, it's got a hood that's both impressively shaped and can be tightened (crucial if used in windy conditions), and it's can be collapsed into its own zipped chest pocket. It forms a stuff-sack that comes complete with a loop, though a carabiner would have been nice.
We wore the Houdini in both a brief shower and in consistently rainy conditions, and in the latter we did get wet, but not too sweaty. The Deluge DWR covering works well, though it's best thought of as emergency protection and a helpful extra layer that takes up almost no space. Like it? We're never going outside again without it. From now on, trail-runners, we're shopping where you shop.


The Stonebridge Ranch Community Association, Inc. (SRCA) is first and foremost an alliance of homeowners who have bought into a shared vision: to be the premier master-planned community in North Texas. Though our residents come from all walks of life and many countries of origin, upon moving to Stonebridge Ranch each one becomes an integral contributor to our way of life.
Perhaps our homeowners feel it when they drive the streets of our 74 villages for the first time, admiring the mature canopy of trees and the colorful landscaping as they scout for the home that will suit their family perfectly. Perhaps they sense it when they attend their first community-wide celebration and see folks of all ages laughing, dancing, and playing together. Perhaps they believe in it when the family next door becomes more than neighbors—when they become true friends. Perhaps it's as simple as the sigh of relief our residents breathe when they pull into the driveway each evening.
What is the SRCA? It's more than the 5,000+ acres we occupy together here in McKinney, Texas. It's the spirit we share—the spirit of coming home.
Stonebridge Ranch is located 35 miles northeast of Dallas and is one of the nation's most respected master-planned communities. It is situated on over 5,000 acres, with more than 500 acres preserved as open space. The population at build-out is projected to be 36,000+ residents, and we are nearly there. Our neighborhoods include 74 distinctive villages with homes ranging from the mid $200s to over $2 million. Among our diverse population, you'll find young families, empty nesters, retirees and singles from all walks of life.

Vang Hao (, a nemzetközi szakirodalomban Wang Hao; , , 1989. augusztus 4. –) kínai sakkozó, nagymester, világbajnokjelölt, csapatban kétszeres U16 korosztályos olimpiai bajnok.

A negyedik kínai sakkozó, aki átlépte a 2700-as Élő-pontszámot, és a második kínai férfi sakkozó, aki bejutott a világbajnokjelöltek versenyébe. Az első kínai férfi sakkozó volt, aki klasszikus időbeosztású játszmában hivatalos versenyen győzni tudott egy regnáló világbajnok ellen, amikor a 2013-as Wijk an Zee-i szupertornán legyőzte Visuvanátan Ánandot.

Legmagasabb Élő-pontszáma 2752 pont, amelyet először 2013. januárban érte el, majd 2019. novemberében beállította.

Élete és sakkpályafutása
Hatéves korában egy véletlen folytán kezdett el sakkozni, mivel a kínai sakkra szeretett volna beiratkozni, de a kínai sakk edzője nem volt a helyszínen, csak egy klasszikus sakkedző, ezért nála maradt. Egy évvel később vett részt az első helyi ifjúsági versenyen.

1999-ben bronzérmet szerzett az U10 korosztályos fiúk kategóriájában az Oropesa del Marban rendezett ifjúsági sakkvilágbajnokságon. 2002-ben 12 évesen megnyerte a Qingdao Zhongfand Cup tornát. 2002-ben és 2004-ben tagja volt az U16 korosztályos sakkolimpián aranyérmes kínai válogatottnak, ahol 2004-ben első táblásként egyéni eredményével is aranyérmet szerzett.

2003-ban egy év alatt 210 ponttal növelte Élő-pontszámát, amely három verseny eredménye alapján 2215-ről 2425-re nőtt. 2004-ben Jakutszkban megnyerte a Children of Asia tornát. 2005-ben, 16 éves korában érte el első nagy nemzetközi tornagyőzelmét, amikor első lett a 7. Dubai Open versenyen 53 nagymester és 30 nemzetközi mester előtt. Győzelmi sorozatát a 2005-ös Malaysian Openen folytatta, ahol 11 játszmából 10 ponttal, 2843-as teljesítményértékkel végzett az első helyen. A nagymesteri címhez szükséges normát e két kiemelkedő eredménye után harmadszor a 2005-ös Aeroflot Open A2 csoportjában 9 játszmából elért 6,5 pontjával teljesítette. Ezzel úgy lett Kína 20. férfi nagymestere, hogy átugrotta a FIDE-mester és a nemzetközi mester fokozatokat.

Az U20 korosztályos junior sakkvilágbajnokságon 2006-ban, 17 évesen holtversenyben az 5–9. helyen végzett, 2007-ben Jerevánban már bronzérmet szerzett.

2007-ben Ázsia bajnokságán az első helyezettel holtversenyben a 2. helyen végzett. 2008-ban a győztestől fél ponttal lemaradva 3. helyen végzett a Gibraltar Chess Festivalon, majd a holtversenyt megnyerve első lett a Reykjavík Openen. A 2011. évi nyári universiadén egyéniben a 2. helyen végzett.

2012-ben Magnus Carlsen előtt megnyerte a Biel Chess Festivalt. 2013-ban a Norway Chess Festivalon csak a középmezőnyben végzett, de megverte a világranglistát vezető Magnus Carlsent és a világbajnok Visuvanátan Ánandot is. Ugyanebben az évben a Kings Tournament tornán a Fabiano Caruana mögött a 2. helyen végzett.

2003 óta 2011-et kivéve minden évben résztvevője volt a kínai sakkbajnokság döntőjének, amelyen 2009-ben és holtversenyben 2010-ben is második, 2015-ben harmadik helyezést ért el.

Eredményei a világbajnokságokon
A 2009-es sakkvilágkupán a 3. körig jutott, ahol Sahrijar Mamedjarov ütötte el a továbbjutástól. A 2011-es sakkvilágkupán való részvételre kvalifikációt szerzett, de a versenyen nem indult el. A 2013-as sakkvilágkupán a 2. fordulóban Alekszej Drejevtől szenvedett vereséget. A FIDE Grand Prix 2012–13 versenysorozaton a rendező szabadkártyájával indulhatott. A négy versenyen egy 2., egy 6. és két 10. helyezést ért el, összesítésben a 10. helyen végzett. A 2015-ös sakkvilágkupán ugyancsak a 2. fordulóig jutott, ezúttal honfitársa  állította meg.

A 2017-es sakkvilágkupán már a nyolcaddöntőig jutott, ahol a később döntőt játszó től szenvedett vereséget. A 2019-es sakkvilágkupán a 3. körben az amerikai Leinier Dominguez ellen szenvedett többszöri rájátszás után 4,5–3,5 arányú vereséget. A 2019–2020-as világbajnoki ciklusban első alkalommal megrendezett 2019-es FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss svájci rendszerű tornán az amerikai Fabiano Caruana-val holtversenyben végzett az élen, a holtverseny az ő javára dőlt el, így kivívta a jogot, hogy résztvevője legyen a  világbajnokjelöltek versenyének.

Eredményei csapatban
Sakkolimpia
Kína válogatottjában először 2004-ben szerepelt, majd tagja volt a 2008-as sakkolimpián 7., a 2010-es sakkolimpián 5., és a 2012-es sakkolimpián 4. helyezést elérő csapatnak. 2010-ben egyéni teljesítményével a 2. táblán bronzérmet szerzett.

Sakk-csapatvilágbajnokság
2011-ben tagja volt a  városban rendezett sakk-csapatvilágbajnokságon ezüstérmet szerző kínai válogatottnak, és első táblásként egyéni eredményével aranyérmet szerzett.

Bajnokcsapatok Európa-kupája
A SOCAR Baku csapatával 2003-ban bronz-, 2004-ben aranyérmes volt, egyéni teljesítményével mindkét alkalommal bronzérmet szerzett.

Ázsiai beltéri játékok
2007-ben az Ázsiai beltéri játékokon Kína csapatával aranyérmet szerzett.

Klubcsapat eredményei
Az orosz Premier Ligában az ShSM-64 Moscow csapatával 2009-ben ezüst-, 2010-ben és 2011-ben arany-, 2012-ben bronzérmet nyert. Egyéni teljesítményével 2008-ban arany, 210-ben és 2012-ben ezüstérmes lett.

A cseh Extra Ligában 2017-ben a Novoborský ŠK csapatával aranyérmet szerzett.

A kínai sakkbajnokságban a Beijing Patriots csapatával 2006-ban és 2015-ben arany-, 2007-ben és 2008-ban ezüstérmet szerzett.

Little Miss made this loom bracelet a few weeks ago and I have to admit I've been secretly wondering whether I could add it to my jewellery stash! Shhh!
I just love the rainbows with the white – so crisp and clean and bright. She tells me this is trickier than a normal fishtail bracelet and that there are some even more difficult versions as well. It might be good to practice the original fishtail bracelet first before you move on to this beauty. As always a little patience is required to get all those little bands in the right spots too so don't give up if it is tricky the first time – the end result is so worth it!
I think I just love the combination of colours!


Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard Microsoft has introduced the initial release of Windows 10. Windows 10 has been a widely anticipated release on the part of consumers and business alike, with Microsoft aiming to deploy Windows 10 on more than one billion devices within the next few years. Here are 10 technical and market reasons why Windows 10 will become Microsoft's biggest release ever.
Microsoft is making the release available as a free upgrade for the first year. Let's start with the biggest, albeit obvious, reason. Let's face it; paying for upgrades is an inhibitor to adoption of any new operating system platform. Consumers and business have to determine if the upgrade is worthy of the asking price. When it's free, that decision is much easier. Apple has used the free upgrade model with great success in driving the majority of its customers to the most recent available release. Microsoft will serve its adoption goals well by making upgrades free for the first year. This should certainly have the intended effect with consumers and breathe new life into existing systems, much like my personal experience of upgrading a Vista system to Windows 7. A year should be plenty of time for businesses and enterprises to test the system before deployment, and I think we'll see most XP, Vista, and 8.1 systems updated within that time.
Windows 10 has been well tested on many different types of hardware. Microsoft's public beta program for Windows 10 has been active since October of last year. By all indications this public beta - the Windows 10 Insider Preview program - has been very successful in getting the operating system well tested with all sorts of different hardware. The program allowed two modes of updating to new releases: an aggressive update mode to see new features sooner, and a stable mode to ensure the operating system did not crash very often. Working with beta software can be challenging and this program did a nice job of catering to the different types of beta testers. For developers, it was especially nice to see popular VM software, like Fusion and VMware, provide easy-to-download and install updates into a virtual machine. This gave developers the opportunity to try new features and APIs without having to sacrifice a complete set of hardware. Overall this program gave Microsoft an opportunity to find any issues in the operating system and in the developer experience well before the initial launch. This release should look very good on day one.
Windows 10 addresses many of the usability issues in Windows 8. It's no secret most consumers did not get (or like) the new User Interface of Windows 8, particularly on desktop operating systems that were primarily interfaced with a keyboard and mouse. Those that used it primarily on tablet however saw the promise of the Modern Windows UX approach for touch interfaces. In both cases, the biggest complaint was the removal of the traditional start menu (the primary interface for finding applications to run). We have all been trained over the last two decades, since Windows 95, to start most tasks from the bottom left of a Windows OS and the big tiles of Windows 8 was a big change. Although the 8.1 releases re-introduced a classic desktop, the start menu was still missing. Windows 10 does a fine job of re-introducing the Start Menu but with many of the useful big tile enhancements first introduced in Windows 8 exposed through the menu.
It's not just a Windows world anymore, and Windows 10 acknowledges that. From a mobile perspective, Microsoft hasn't historically had much success with Windows. As such, it hasn't been a popular target platform for most developers who must already support both Android and iOS. In fact, most Windows developers are now also Android and iOS developers in response to market demand. Android and iOS have had great success in luring developers to build apps for their platforms due to wide consumer adoption, and Microsoft plans to make it easy for developers to get those apps onto Windows 10 systems. Microsoft announced two programs - Project Astoria and Project Islandwood - with the aim of taking existing Android and iOS apps respectively, and rebuild, re-package, and/or re-sign them to run on the Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform (UWP). This is a bold move; one that is fully accepting of market dynamics and equally ambitious in its technical solution.
Classic Windows applications will continue to work without modification. One area in which Microsoft has always excelled is in enabling older applications to continue to run in newer versions of the operating system. As one example, I am still able to play one of my favorite 16-bit DOS games on my Windows 10 Insider Preview. That is just plain amazing and critically important for business and enterprise adoption where many applications may not be able to be practically ported but still need to perform critical functions within the business. Even better, Windows 10 enables the classic Windows app (those based on the Windows API) to fully participate in the Windows 10 store for public and internal distribution as well as full access to the Universal Windows Platform through Project Centennial. In a sense, Project Centennial allows classic Windows apps to continue to be first class citizens in this new world, which will make a big difference for adoption.
Universal Windows Platform features are accessible through Project Centennial. In Windows 8.1, Microsoft introduced a new runtime called WinRT that could span its desktop and mobile targets with one codebase. WinRT introduced the concept of sandboxing apps on Windows and as such the new APIs and services of WinRT were not directly available to Classic Windows apps. With Windows 10, Microsoft is opening up those APIs to be fully accessible to Classic Windows Apps with Project Centennial. For example the new notification API, which is only available through UWP, means a classic Windows app would not be able to send notifications to the operating system. However, Project Centennial changes that and gives developers access to these new features without having to completely re-write their applications. Details are forthcoming, but this is a very important program for developers to add these modern features into their existing applications.
The Internet of Things and maker boards.The Internet of Things (IoT) is the next frontier in terms of enterprise and industry solutions that integrate physical and environmental capabilities into existing and new applications through IP protocols. IoT is revolutionizing computing and applications within a real-world context to automate and improve how humans interact with applications through a physical environment. This revolution is enabled by smaller, more powerful and cheaper hardware, as well as the proliferation of the Internet. Now, any physical object can be attached to a network to give or receive information from any other app or object attached to the network. Most of these new inventions are based around maker boards for developers to "make" things, most of which have been historically based around Linux. With Windows 10, Microsoft is introducing the Windows 10 IoT Core platform, which enables UWP apps to run on these tiny boards including Raspberry Pi 2 and Arduino. It also gives developers the opportunity to build backend server, mobile, desktop, and now IoT apps for Windows.
Hey, Microsoft skipped 9, so I am too.
Microsoft is catering to developers again. It may seem like most of the reasons I have stated for future Windows 10 success revolve around features for software developers and that is, in my opinion, a key factor to its future success. Although Windows 10 introduces many features and onboarding programs that will accelerate its adoption with end users, its success absolutely relies on continued support from software developers. Software developers want and need to support widely adopted platforms, and Windows 10 appears to be ready for rapid deployment with its free upgrade program, wide testing and UX improvements. Developers also need to be enabled with new capabilities to help drive the end user adoption, and again Windows 10 appears to be addressing that in meaningful ways with its UWP bridge projects, Centennial for classic Windows apps, Astoria for Android, Islandwood for iOS, and Westminster for web apps. In summary, every developer has an opportunity with Windows 10, and that is going to make all the difference.
First announced in September, Windows 10 has become available as a free upgrade in 190 countries. Addressing the ubiquity of mobile devices for business use, and an increasing emphasis on anywhere anytime access, Windows 10 will run across devices, with a tailored experience for each device, and also adds greater security enhancements.


Agency Arms is well known for their Glock modifications. They have just expanded their customization with their AOS. The Agency Optic System is a modular optic mounting system for attaching micro red dots onto Glocks.
The AOS has interchangeable plates for use with the top four micro red dots. Trijicon RMR, Shield RMS, Leupold Delta Point Pro, and the Vortex Viper. The AOS actually reminds me of the Unity Tactical ATOM. The ATOM also uses interchangeable optic plates. One aspect that the ATOM has over the AOS is they have a plate to allow the use of an Aimpoint T1 on a Glock slide. However, the AOS beats out the ATOM due to the rear sight. The ATOM repositions the rear sight forward and it is dove tailed into the slide. This positions the rear sight in front of the red dot. Agency gives you the option of choosing a plate that either has the rear sight in front or behind your optic of choice.
Why would you want a rear sight in front of your optic? The rear sight acts as a protector for your micro red dot. If you rack your slide off a hard surface, the rear sight can take the brunt of the abuse. The rear sight can also act as a brass deflector preventing brass from hitting the lens of your optic. Another added benefit to having the rear sight in front of the optic is that it does not obscure the rear of the red dot.
The AOS slide service is currently available on their website. It costs $225 for the slide cuts and $65 per adapter plate. The top cover plate is just $50. There is no charge for the black DLC coating but if you want Cerakote or Blue PVD coats, it costs more.
Go to their website to check out their new Agency Optic System.

Sonia Gandhi back as chief: Full text of Congress resolution
By Vikash Aiyappa
| Published: Sunday, August 11, 2019, 10:09 [IST]
New Delhi, Aug 11: The Congress Working Party finally made an announcement regarding its new president, after Rahul Gandhi stepped down as the chief. The party said that Sonia Gandhi would be the party chief and while making the announcement a resolution was also passed.
Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) chairperson Sonia Gandhi
Full text of Congress resolution:
The CWC places on record its profound sense of appreciation and gratitude for the exceptional leadership provided by Shri Rahul Gandhi as Congress President. Shri Rahul Gandhi led the party with unbounded drive, fierce determination and dedication. He campaigned in the assembly and national elections with indefatigable energy.
Sonia Gandhi to be next Congress interim president
He stood up fearlessly on issues of day-to-day concern to kisans, khet mazdoors, workers, traders and small businesses, youth, women, minorities, dalits and adivasis and the weaker sections of our society. . He raised his voice boldly against the growing atmosphere of fear and intimidation in our country. These issues continue to be of significant relevance irrespective of the electoral verdict of May 2019. Shri Rahul Gandhi gave a new sense of aggression and modernity to the party organization and opened up numerous opportunities to the younger generation.
He inspired every Congress worker through his never-say-die attitude and earned their admiration and respect. He emerged as a beacon of hope for the very large number of people who cherish the idea of India on which our freedom movement and the Constitution was anchored. He came to be seen as a bulwark against the forces of hate, prejudice, bigotry, intolerance and divisiveness. Shri Rahul Gandhi's instinctive moral compass is evident from the manner in which he has taken personal responsibility for the disappointing performance of the party in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, thereby setting new standards of accountability in public life.
The CWC applauds his courage, commitment and conviction in stepping down as Congress President which was a deeply personal decision but is encouraged that his services, inputs and advice will continue to be available to the party. Each and every Congressman and woman looks to him for continued support and guidance.
The CWC considered the views of PCC Presidents, CLP Leaders, AICC Secretaries and Members of Parliament. The CWC unanimously resolved that Shri Rahul Gandhi should continue as Congress President, as desired by all who were consulted today, and requested him to accept this decision. However, Shri Rahul Gandhi declined to withdraw his resignation. Consequently, the CWC unanimously resolved to request Smt. Sonia Gandhi to take over as Interim President pending the election of a regular President by the AICC.
The Congress working Committee expressed serious concern over the situation in Jammu & Kashmir including reports of clamp down and news blackout. The Congress Working Committee also expressed serious concern about arrest and detention of entire political leadership in Jammu & Kashmir. The Congress working committee calls upon the Government to act in a transparent fashion and forthwith permit a delegation of opposition parties in Jammu & Kashmir.

To prime or not to prime?
With such a vast variety of makeup products out there now and so many videos of you tubers raving about these products basically telling us to spend our money and buy them, wouldn't it be nice to know if these things actually work or if they are just an extra layer that has no actual cause?
Yes they work, 100%. If I forget to put a primer on ( I have a little panic when I do ) by mid day my makeup has started to separate and goes patchy, I notice this a lot around my cheeks near to my neck.. which I always find a little random. I have quite oily skin so it will start to almost slide of my nose as well. However when I use a primer, the heavens open and bless the staying power of my make up that day, everything stays in place, doesn't fade and doesn't look patchy by the end of the day, I do still get shiny through the day, but I feel like nothing will prevent this ! Your skin type will determine whether you actually NEED primer or if you would just like that extra sparkle. If you have a slightly dryer skin your makeup will latch on more than it would if you had oily skin.
Is there anything else you can use instead?
YES! If I ever have a momentary laps of forgetting my primer, I will always finish my makeup with a setting spray, this holds my makeup in place just as well and is just a nice mist instead of anything heavy on my skin and is a nice alternative if you don't like too much product. If I have a long day ahead or I am know I will be going someone hot – such as a night out, or holidays, I will always use both for that extra protection – no face melt here thank you.
So what ones best for you ?
If you feel like you have large pores and would like to minimise them, opt for something thats quite thick and more of a silicon texture, this works as a pore filler and will help to minimise the looks of pores. Urban Decay Optical illusion and Benefit Porefessional – I have added these in the same part due to them basically being the same. Very silky textures and really help with smoothing the skin. I personally don't recommend these as much for anyone with a dryer skin as it can tend to cling, but try a tester and see how you get on with it! Urban Decay is priced at £23 whilst Benefit is priced at £26.
Becca – Back light primer : I love this primer before makeup to give that kissed glow, it's beautifully illuminating and one of my absolute favourites. It holds my makeup well for the whole day, it's my trusty primer ! I also wear this on my skin on holiday with no makeup on, to give that extra glow and radiance on tired skin ! Also try this primer mixed in with your foundation, it will give that foundation an extra staying power, as well as a gorgeous dewyness. This can be bought in UK on Cult or Space NK at £32.
The all rounders are ones I find suit every skin, first one being Illamasqua Hydra Veil, this is great as it's an odd gel like texture, kind of like jelly ! But it melts into the skin when you apply it which feels amazing, what I like is that you can actually feel it working ! When you rub it in it almost sticks to the skin, creating a great base for anything else on top, this is quite a matte finish. You can also add a bit of an brighting product with the veil, this will change it completely into more of a dewy finish. Very versatile ! However if you feel like you would always want more of a glow, go for the illuminating veil to save time! This is priced at £34, a little go a very long way !
Another all rounder I love is actually the Nivea for men shaving balm, yes I fell into the trap of buying this, but it actually works! I paid £4 for mine and you get a lot ! I love this because the more you work it into the skin the almost tackier it gets, again creating a great sticky base for the rest to cling onto. Of course this sounds like something no one would want – a tacky sticky base, but you cannot feel it, only if you touched it and once the foundation is on top, bam… tackiness gone!
So these are my favourites and ones I will always go to. Others I have tried have been smash box, however I can't say I rate them, the makeup stays on, but I like to either feel my primers are working, or see that they are !
Now I only have one, I will never go to another one simply because of how much I adore this setting spray and how well it works. Urban Decay setting spray – All Nighter, the god of all setting sprays. It's literally like hairspray for your face… just without all the chemicals and nastiness. Every time I use this I just know I don't have to worry about my makeup for the rest of the day or night. It is priced at £23.50, I use this mostly everyday and it lasts me for a good 4-5 months.
If you feel like you have an godsent primer, let me know ! I would love to add some more favourites to my list.
I love your post. Couldn't agree more. There's so much stuff out there it's hard to tell what actually works and what doesn't. I was laughing at your comment about the Men's Nivea shaving balm and it being a tacky sticky base. I definitely need to try that though cause I've only heard good things!
Thankyou ! So glad to hear. Do try the Nivea, I hardly sold it but it is a good buy !
