More terminology below!
Sexuality and Orientation
Achillean: men who are attracted to men, inclusive of gay, bisexual, pansexual, and queer men and nonbinary people who identify with manhood. A term that refers to the Greek hero Achilles, modeled after the use of the term "sapphic" for women who are attracted to women. Similar to MLM.
Aesthetic attraction: a "tertiary attraction" different from romantic or sexual attraction, which involves finding a person aesthetically beautiful without wanting to act sexually or romantically on the feeling. It has been compared to the way that one might feel about a beautiful painting or a sunset.
Allosexual/Alloromantic: the opposite of asexual or aromantic; experiencing sexual or romantic attraction.
Alterous attraction: a type of attraction that can't be easily or clearly labeled as either romantic or platonic, often includes a desire to be emotionally close to someone, sometimes without caring what particular type of relationship you have with them. Also can include a desire to be in a relationship with someone that is "soft-romo," low on romance, or that is otherwise somewhere between platonic and romantic.
Aromantic (Aro): not experiencing romantic attraction. Aromantic people may or may not experience sexual attraction or other forms of attraction.
Asexual (Ace): not experiencing sexual attraction. Asexual people may or may not experience romantic attraction or other forms of attraction.
Bisexual: experiencing attraction to two or more genders, or to genders both the same as and different to one's own. Can sometimes be used as a synonym for pansexual, or as an umbrella term for all people who experience attraction to more than one gender. Some avoid using the term "bisexual" because in the past, it has been used to mean "attraction to men and women," in a way that is not inclusive of the wider gender spectrum. However, as of the 1990s, definitions of bisexuality that included attraction to a wider gender spectrum began to be produced, and these days, the most popular definitions of bisexuality from within the bisexual community are inclusive of people of all genders.
Some other identities under the multisexual or non-monosexual (attracted to more than one gender) umbrella that are sometimes used alongside bisexual and pansexual include:
Polysexual: experiencing attraction to people of multiple genders.
Omnisexual: experiencing attraction to people of all genders.
Though some draw distinctions between the various multisexual identity terms, the line between them is not strict, and identification as one or the other or multiple often comes down to personal preference.
Demiromantic/Demisexual: only feeling romantic or sexual attraction after establishing a deep emotional bond with a person. This is distinct from the experience of feeling romantic or sexual attraction but choosing not to pursue a relationship until after such a bond has been formed.
Gay: experiencing attraction to people of one's own gender. May be used specifically to refer to gay men, or more generally as an umbrella term to talk about anyone who is attracted to people of their same gender, including lesbians and some people attracted to multiple genders, such as bisexuals or pansexuals. It may also at times be used as an umbrella term to refer to a wider portion of the LGBTQ+ community.
Gray aromantic/Gray asexual: feeling romantic or sexual attraction only occasionally, not very strongly, or only after certain conditions have been met, or feeling somewhere in-between aromantic and alloromantic or asexual and allosexual. Identifying with aromanticism or asexuality despite sometimes feeling romantic or sexual attraction. One example of an identity under the gray asexual umbrella or "on the asexual spectrum" is demisexual.
Lesbian: a woman who is attracted to other women. This term may also include some nonbinary and transmasculine people who feel a connection with womanhood, if they choose to identify as lesbian.
LGBTQ+: an acronym that stands for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, plus." A popular way to refer to the queer community, or a community of people with marginalized genders and sexualities who are in solidarity together. Some other forms of this acronym that you might come across include LGBT, GLBT, LGBTQ, LGBTQIA, LGBTQIAP+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual/aromantic/agender, and pansexual, plus), or LGBTQQIP2SAA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer, intersex, pansexual, two-spirit (2S), androgynous, and asexual).
Some other acronyms that have been proposed to refer to this community include MOGAI (Marginalized Orientations, Gender identities, And Intersex)—though MOGAI is now more often used to refer specifically to a subset of the LGBTQ+ community that is vocal against gatekeeping and supportive of the use of microlabels—and QUILTBAG (queer and questioning, unsure, intersex, lesbian, transgender and two-spirit, bisexual, asexual and aromantic, and gay and genderqueer).
MLM: an acronym that stands for "men loving men." Refers to men who are attracted to men, whether or not they are attracted exclusively to other men. This term is inclusive of but not limited to gay, bisexual, and pansexual men and nonbinary people who identify with manhood. Sometimes also known as achillean.
Some other terms that use the gender-loving-gender format include WLW (women loving women), NBLNB (nonbinary loving nonbinary), MLNB (men loving nonbinary), NBLM (nonbinary loving men), NBLW (nonbinary loving women), and WLNB (women loving nonbinary).
Pansexual: experiencing attraction to all genders, or attraction regardless of gender. Sometimes used as a synonym for bisexual. Pansexual as an identity term meaning "attraction to people of all genders" originated in the 1970s. Some choose to identify as pansexual over bisexual because it has historically been more inclusive of the wider gender spectrum, though contemporary definitions of bisexual from the bisexual community are most often inclusive of all genders as well. Though some draw distinctions between the two terms, the line between them is not strict, and identification as one or the other or both often comes down to personal preference.
Platonic attraction: a pull or desire to form a platonic relationship or deeper friendship with a particular person. This is distinct from the experience of simply wanting friends in general, as it is focused on someone is specific.
A platonic "crush" can be called a squish.
Queer: may be used as an umbrella term to describe anyone who is not cisgender, heterosexual, and heteroromantic, or anyone who engages with societally nonconforming relationships, sexualities and sexual expressions, and gender identities and gender expressions. Queer may also be used as a verb, as in "to queer" something, which means to challenge or examine normative ideas, especially as related to gender, sexuality, and social roles, or specifically to refer to a political identity having to do with actively disrupting societal norms with sexuality and gender. It may also refer to the discipline that studies marginalized and nonconforming gender and sexuality, as in "Queer Studies."
Like many words that are used to refer to the LGBTQ+ community, the word "queer" has been used as a slur in the past, but it has since been reclaimed. It's best not to use it to refer to anyone who doesn't want the word applied to them or who feels that it doesn't express their experiences, but it's also best not to censor the word or ask those who identify as queer to stop using it.
Romantic attraction: a pull or desire to do romantic activities with a particular person. Often identified with the experience of "having a crush" on someone. What counts as a romantic activity or what "feels romantic" can vary from person to person and depend on context; for example, for some people, holding hands is strictly a romantic gesture, while other people are comfortable holding hands with their platonic friends, and many people would agree that holding hands can be part of a familial parent/child relationship, despite being a romantic gesture in other contexts.
Same gender loving (SGL):a culturally-affrming term coined by activist Cleo Manago in the 1990s for African American use. It is generally used for gay identities
Sapphic: derived from the name of the Greek poet, Sappho, this is a term referring to women who are attracted to women, and is inclusive of lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and queer women and nonbinary people who identify with womanhood. Similar to WLW.
Sexual attraction: a pull or desire to have sexual contact with a particular person. Often described as "having the hots" for someone, this is a distinct experience from simply desiring sex in general (sexual desire or libido), or from wanting to have sex with someone for another reason (such as because it will make you feel good, or because it will make your partner happy).
Sexual orientation: an enduring pattern of attraction (or a lack of attraction) to people of a particular gender or set of genders.
Split-Attraction Model (SAM): though not everyone finds it useful or accurate to their experiences, some people (especially in the asexual and aromantic communities) find it useful to differentiate their sexual attraction from their romantic attraction. The Split-Attraction Model is a model for doing that. For example, a person might identify as both aromantic and bisexual, or heteroromantic and demisexual.
Straight: attracted to a gender different from one's own, generally refers to women who are attracted exclusively to men and men who are attracted exclusively to women.
WLW: an acronym that stands for "women loving women." Refers to women who are attracted to women, whether or not they are attracted exclusively to other women. This term is inclusive of but not limited to lesbian, bisexual, and pansexual women and nonbinary people who identify with womanhood. Similar to sapphic.
Some other terms that use the gender-loving-gender format include MLM (men loving men), NBLNB (nonbinary loving nonbinary), NBLW (nonbinary loving women), WLNB (women loving nonbinary), MLNB (men loving nonbinary), and NBLM (nonbinary loving men).
AFAB: an acronym that stands for "assigned female at birth." Describes a person who, when they were born, had their sex labeled as "female" by a doctor.
Agender: not having a gender. May identify as gender-neutral or genderless.
AMAB: an acronym that stands for "assigned male at birth." Describes a person who, when they were born, had their sex labeled as "male" by a doctor.
Androgyne: a gender that is between man and woman or both masculine and feminine.
Bigender: having two genders. These could be static or fluid, and a bigender person might feel that their genders overlap, that they are both genders at the same time, or that they switch back and forth between the two. These could be any two genders: male and female, female and nonbinary, or two different nonbinary genders like androgyne and maverique, etc.
Cisgender: Not transgender. Describes someone who identifies with the gender they were assigned at birth. For example, a cisgender woman had their sex labeled as female at birth, and still identifies as a woman, while a cisgender man had their sex labeled as male at birth and still identifies as a man.
Demigender: being partially, but not entirely, a given gender. The "other" part may or may not be identified or known, and could be anything. Examples of demigenders include demiboy and demigirl.
Demiboy: being partially, but not entirely, a boy or a man. The "other" part may or may not be identified or known, and could be anything. Also known as "demiguy."
Demigirl: being partially, but not entirely, girl or a woman. The "other" part may or may not be identified or known, and could be anything.
Dyadic: not intersex, someone whose sex from birth fits into the category of either male or female. Also known as "perisex."
FTM: an acronym that stands for "female to male," a transgender person who was assigned a woman at birth, but now identifies as, has transitioned, or is transitioning towards a masculine gender or sex. Generally used in a medical context, but also sometimes as an identity term in the transmasculine community.
FTX: an acronym that stands for "female to X," describes a transgender person who was assigned female at birth but now identifies as, has transitioned, or is transitioning towards a neutral or androgynous gender or sex. Generally used in a medical context, and shouldn't be used to refer to someone unless you know they identify that way. Another acronym that is sometimes used is FTN, which stands for "female to neutral" or "female to nonbinary."
Gender (Gender identity): an identity that describes how masculine, feminine, both, neutral, other, and/or genderless a person feels. This identity may be related to the physical sex characteristics a person desires, the role they want to play in society, and the categories and rules that a given society has created for how people interact with those roles, but in the end, gender comes down to how a person individually feels about themself, and how they choose to identify. Gender is a "social construct," meaning that it is a set of categories created by humans, but that doesn't mean it's not important to many people. A person's gender identity is their "real" gender, and should be respected as such, and only a person themself can tell you how they identify their gender.
Gender expression: how a person outwardly communicates gender, including through hairstyles, clothes, mannerisms, personal grooming choices, and other external markers, behavior, and decisions. A person's gender expression and gender identity are not necessarily the same, so it's best never to assume that you can know what a person's gender is based on their gender expression.
Gender-neutral: describes something that is not associated with any particular gender, or something that is not gendered (or not gendered as man or woman). For example, gender-neutral bathrooms are open to people of all genders, and gender-neutral titles like Dr. or Mx. do not contain (binary) gendered information about the person to whom they refer.
May also describe having a gender that is neutral: neither masculine nor feminine, nor anything else. When used in this way, "gender-neutral" may overlap with the term "agender," or may refer to having a gender that is specifically neutral in nature. (See also: neutrois.)
Gender-nonconforming (GNC): describes any person who performs or expresses their identity in a way that goes against societal norms and expectations for their gender.
Genderfluid: switching between two or more genders over time, or having a gender that changes. These could be any genders—including male, female, nonbinary, and others—and could take place over any amount of time, from minutes to days to months or years, and might change depending on certain circumstances, or might change at random. (Being genderfluid between agender and another gender, or having a gender that changes in intensity, is sometimes called "genderflux.")
Genderqueer: a gender outside the gender binary, a queer gender. May be used as a synonym for nonbinary, or may be used as an umbrella term for anyone who experiences or expresses gender in a non-conforming way, including binary cis and trans people who feel that they have queer or non-normative gender experiences, or all those who express gender non-normatively. "Genderqueer" can also be a political identity, describing those who transgress gender norms and expectations.
Intersex: an umbrella term for those whose bodies fall outside the categories of male or female. Not all intersex people consider themselves part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Maverique: having a gender that is neither masculine, nor feminine, nor anything in between, nor neutral, yet still having a strong gendered feeling. May be characterized by a strong autonomy and inner conviction regarding a sense of self and gender.
MTF: an acronym that stands for "male to female," a transgender person who was assigned male at birth, but now identifies as, has transitioned, or is transitioning towards a feminine gender or sex. Generally used in a medical context, and shouldn't be used to refer to someone unless you know they identify that way.
MTX: an acronym that stands for "male to X," describes a transgender person who was assigned male at birth but now identifies as, has transitioned, or is transitioning towards a neutral or androgynous gender or sex. Generally used in a medical context, and shouldn't be used to refer to someone unless you know they identify that way. Another acronym that is sometimes used is MTN, which stands for "male to neutral" or "male to nonbinary."
Neutrois: having a neutral or null gender. May include the experience of feeling neither masculine, feminine, nor anything in between, but still feeling strongly gendered, or may include the experience of feeling genderless, overlapping with agender. May include a desire to transition, but may not.
Nonbinary: any gender that is not strictly man or woman all the time. Nonbinary identity may include being a gender that is somewhere on the spectrum between masculinity and femininity, being a neutral gender or a gender separate from masculinity and femininity, being genderless, having multiple genders, having a gender that changes over time, and more. "Nonbinary" may be used as an umbrella term for all gender identities that are anything other than 100% binary man or 100% binary woman, or it may be used as a specific gender identity on its own. Some examples of genders included under the nonbinary umbrella include bigender, agender, genderfluid, demigender, and more! Nonbinary is sometimes shortened to NB (or "enby," a phonetic pronunciation of the letters N-B).
Some people will also add the word "nonbinary" to a more binary gender label to indicate that they experience masculinity or femininity, but in a way that is distinct from binary gender. For example, someone might identify as a nonbinary woman, or as both transmasculine and nonbinary.
Pangender: identifying as or experiencing many or countless genders, either fluidly between different genders or as one all-encompassing gender identity. May identify as being all genders that are available within a particular person's culture and life experiences.
Polygender: having more than one gender or expressing characteristics of multiple genders, whether at the same time or switching fluidly between different genders.
Sex: a set of physiological traits including genitalia, reproductive organs, hormones, x and y chromosomes, and secondary sex characteristics. In our society, groupings of these traits are traditionally put into two categories: male and female, though these categories contain a lot of diversity and variation and do not accurately represent all people, and some people fall in-between male and female.
Trans man: a transgender person who identifies as a man, a man who was not assigned male at birth.
Trans woman: a transgender person who identifies as a woman, a woman who was not assigned female at birth.
Transgender (Trans): identifying as any gender different from the sex assigned to one at birth. This term is inclusive of binary trans people, who identify simply as men or women, as well as nonbinary people (though not all nonbinary people choose to identify as trans).
Note: the language "identifying as" is used here for clarity, but this is not meant to imply that transgender people are not "really" their gender in some way. The gender(s) (or lack of gender) that a person identifies with is their "real" gender.
Transfeminine: a transgender person who identifies with, is transitioning towards, or has transitioned to femininity. This includes both binary trans women and some nonbinary people.
Transmasculine: a transgender person who identifies with, is transitioning towards, or has transitioned to masculinity. This includes both binary trans men and some nonbinary people.
Transneutral: a transgender person who identifies with, is transitioning towards, or has transitioned to a neutral gender identity or gender expression.
Two-spirit: a pan-Indian umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe a wide variety of traditional gender-nonconforming, LGBTQ+, and third-gender and fourth-gender social and spiritual roles within Native American and First Nations cultures, distinct from man or woman. The term has received some mainstream acceptance and use, but it has also been criticized for applying binary, Western concepts where they don't belong and erasing culturally-specific terms that already exist.
Questioning: the process of exploring sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or a combination thereof.
Amatonormativity: a term coined by Arizona State University professor of Philosophy Elizabeth Brake to describe the common assumption in our society that everyone is better off in an exclusive, romantic, long-term coupled relationship, and that everyone is seeking such a relationship.
Compersion: the opposite of jealousy. A feeling of joy that comes from seeing your partner be happy with another person.
Metamour: your partner's partner, with whom you are not intimately involved. For example, if your husband had a boyfriend, who you were not also dating, your husband's boyfriend would be your metamour.
Monogamy: a relationship style characterized by commitment to a single intimate partner.
Polyaffectionate: having or wanting a non-romantic intimate relationship with more than one person at once, a word for a relationship style based on the word "polyamorous" and frequently used by aromantics, as well as others who desire or participate in having multiple intimate but non-romantic partners.
Polyamory: a relationship style characterized by a preference for or practice of having multiple intimate partners, where all participants know about and consent to having multiple partners. All the partners of a given person may or may not be intimately involved with each other. This is distinct from cheating, because all the individuals involved in the relationship know about each other and consent to being in a polyamorous relationship.
Queerplatonic relationship (QPR): a type of relationship distinct from both romance and friendship, a QPR is a non-romantic relationship that is more committed or more intense that what is generally considered acceptable in a platonic relationship, without being considered romantic by its participants. It typically involves emotional closeness and commitment, and might look like close friendship, or might involve things that are common in romantic and sexual relationships, such as cohabitation, hand-holding, cuddling, kissing, or having sex. It is a style of relationship commonly but not exclusively engaged in by aromantic and asexual people, and like romantic relationships, a QPR might or might not be monogamous.
A partner in a queerplatonic relationship can be called a queerplatonic partner (QPP) or a "zucchini."
Relationship anarchy: the application of anarchist principles to intimate relationships. This can be considered a style of non-monogamy, but it is a relationship style that not only subverts norms around monogamy, but also around hierarchy in relationships (for example, having one primary partner who might be prioritized over other, secondary partners) and amatonormativity (prioritizing romantic relationships over platonic ones). Relationship anarchists' relationships can vary widely, but might include elements like fostering communication and emotional intimacy with a wider community instead of a single partner, living with a mix of romantic and long-term platonic partners, or having multiple romantic partners, but not prioritizing them over other platonic relationships.
Solo poly: someone who participates in or prefers polyamorous or ethically nonmonogamous relationships, but prefers to have an independent lifestyle or not to have any primary partners.

Leicester City transfer news
Leicester City transfers: Fourth signing confirmed as striker interest reported
The latest transfer news from the King Power Stadium ahead of today's opening Premier League game there against Wolves
Jannik Vestergaard has become Leicester City's fourth signing of the summer (Image: Plumb Images/Leicester City FC via Getty Images)
Here are the latest Leicester City transfer news and rumours from in and around the King Power Stadium.
Fourth signing confirmed
Jannik Vestergaard was confirmed as Leicester City's fourth signing of the summer yesterday afternoon after signing from Southampton for an initial £14 million fee on a three-year contract.
The Denmark international is also eligible to line up in front of his compatriot Kasper Schmeichel this afternoon at the King Power Stadium.
The 29-year-old is likely to go into the side against Wolves after the club were able to register him before mid-day yesterday, which is the cut-off time to do so ahead of a weekend fixture.
The purchase of a new central defender was necessitated after Wesley Fofana was ruled out until 2022 with a broken leg and ligament damage, and with Jonny Evans also currently sidelined.
Read more, here.
Roma interest in striker
Jose Mourinho and AS Roma are reportedly ready to turn their focus on Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho if their move for fellow Premier League forward Tammy Abraham breaks down.
The Serie A club have agreed to a £34 million deal with Chelsea for the England international, but it is still far from a done deal.
There exists other interest on the Italian peninsula from Atalanta as well as a lot closer to home, across London, in fact, as Arsenal are also said to be keen on Abraham.
Therefore, it is far from certain that the 23-year-old will be departing one capital city for another just yet.
Belgium midfielder's future uncertain
The future of Dennis Praet is up in the air as the final fortnight of the summer transfer window commence.
There was no place in the 20-man matchday squad for the midfielder at Wembley for the Community Shield, and the 27-year-old is believed to want to leave in search of more game-time.
The Belgium international struggled with a hamstring injury last season, only playing 81 minutes of football across the final two months of the season after returning to fitness.
City are open to letting him go, but will not part with the player unless they receive a fee to do so.
Brendan Rodgers has gone on record to say that the former Sampdoria man will remain a valuable member of the squad if he stays in the East Midlands past August 31st.

31st Winterlude declared a success
Ottawa's big winter celebration wrapped up yesterday for the 31st time, with organizers declaring Winterlude a success thanks to good weather, great crowds, new events and the fact all sites were open on Family Day.
By Kathryn Young for Metro Ottawa
Published : February 23, 2009
"We have reached or overtook our average number of 650,000 revellers," said Julie Rocheleau, spokesperson for the National Capital Commission, which runs the winter festival.
"Each year, our goal is to turn Canada's capital region into the best place to celebrate our nation's winter traditions," said Jean-François Trépanier, NCC's executive vice-president of operations, during the closing ceremonies.
"The thousands of smiling faces that we have seen over the last three weekends are extremely gratifying and a telling sign that the NCC has reached its goal."
Now that the Ice Hogs have ceremonially departed to Canada's far north, Ottawans have to settle in for at least another dreary month of winter.
But two high school students from Brazil, here in Ottawa to learn English, are enjoying their first winter, especially the BeaverTails.
"Cinnamon and sugar is a very good combination — it's very Ottawa," said Manoela Bossle, as her friend Anna Veriato chipped at a block of ice to free a plastic buffalo in the Arctic Ice Dig.
Ten-year-old Armin Farhoudi got a plastic horse for his archeological efforts as his father, Hamid Farhoudi, praised the ice sculptures and aboriginal dancing.
One of the more popular new events this year was Ukiuk — a sound and light show with giant images projected onto the Government Conference Centre across the canal from the National Arts Centre.
Dazzling lights, pyrotechnic effects and a soundtrack captivated audiences.
The Rideau Canal Skateway — billed as the largest skating rink in the world — remained open for most of the festival. A brief spell of warm weather closed it during the first week, when ice sculptures wore protective blankets to shield them from rain.
But all three weekends had great winter weather and skating conditions were fine.
The canal is currently open from the National Arts Centre to Dows Lake, and will remain open to skaters as long as the weather co-operates.
The NCC has already begun planning for next year's Winterlude, which takes place Feb. 5 to 21, 2010.

Charges may be dropped against Mavs coach Armstrong
By Kurt HelinJan 20, 2012, 10:38 AM EST
We had passed along word of the arrest of former NBA player and current Mavericks assistant coach Darrell Armstrong the other day. He was picked up in Los Angeles but the warrant was for gambling debt with Harrah's Las Vegas.
Now the whole thing may go away soon. It's all about the money. The Associated Press explains.
The $40,000 bail that a Dallas Mavericks assistant coach posted can be used to clear up a Las Vegas casino debt that led to his arrest in Los Angeles County, a prosecutor said Thursday.
"Usually the bail set is the same as the amount owed," Bateman told The Associated Press. "He agreed to convert it to restitution in return for dropping the case."
And now we are moving on.

The Correspondence. Jean-paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty
In April 1994, two as-yet-unreleased letters by Sartre and one by Merleau-Ponty were published in the Magazine Littéraire. Their publication sparked new interpretative hypotheses on the political and philosophical motivations behind the break of the relationship of mutual esteem, friendship, and fruitful intellectual collaboration between Merleau-Ponty and Sartre. The bright tone of their personal contrasts testified the profound theoretical differences between the two thinkers, both at philosophical level and political praxis.
This volume covers the period between the launch of the magazine Les Temps Moderns in 1945, and Sartre's decision to no longer accept Merleau-Ponty's contributions in 1953, offering a detailed analysis of the respective position of the two philosophers and of an irreducible intellectual distance between them.
Daniela Calabrò is Associate Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Salerno, where she also teaches Theoretical Philosophy and Philosophical Theories of Mind-Body Relation.

On December 5, 2019, I posted an article on Canadian-born entertainer Rich Little. I recently received some correspondence from Lyndsay Cottrell, the daughter of the legendary impressionist. She says that her father is "doing great, healthy as ever ever and performing, which is his favourite thing to do." He performs at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas four nights a week (Thursday to Sunday). He has an autobiographical one-man show called "Rich Little Live." at the Tropicana's Laugh Factory.
Lyndsay Cotrell was born in 1988 in Wilmington, Delaware and her mother is Lalette Cotrell. She describes her parents as "great friends." Rich has another daughter, Bria Little, from his marriage to Jeanne Worden.
Lyndsay has been a resident of Las Vegas for about seven years now and has a fiancé named Garrick. She is the mother of two children, a daughter named Alaina, 10, and a son, Lincoln, 3. She says that she "loves being a mother" and that "my kids are my everything."
I asked her about how the pandemic is affecting Las Vegas. She informed me that the Strip is still open but that there are no shows except for her father's and a few others. The casinos, however "are booming like always." Why am I not surprised about that?
In his show at the Tropicana, Rich Little continues his tradition of impersonating many actors, singers and politicians he has known throughout his stellar career, especially American presidents. The show includes impressions of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
Below is a photo of Rich with his two daughters, Bria and Lyndsay (right) on Father's Day, June 21, 2020.

I have a Main Form named "frmFastenersAndTypes"
With a Subform named "frmFastenerTypesSubform"
Withing the Subform I have a Nested Subform named "frmPartNumbersSubform"
In the Header of the Nested Subform the user needs to be able to Search for a PartNumber.
When used it only displays 1 part number but there are 3 that should be displayed.
Any thoughts on how to rectify this ??
Is the nested subform set for continuous forms or datasheet?
Try entering Like as oppose to equals for the criteria.
In the Sub Form does it say one of three records?
Also, often when you make changes to a sub Form, the sub Form needs to be dragged into the main detail section again. Might you have changed the sub form from a Single Form, Datasheet type, etc.?
Am I understanding right your want to populate the combo..!!
Why not just use the "PartNumberID" on the nested sub form as your reference..
I would also assume the PartNumberID is linked back through the other sub forms..
The Main Form is displaying the fastener "Bolt"
Don't know if this is possible??

Mahama Under Pressure To Prosecute Sacked CHRAJ Boss
Pressure is mounting on President John Mahama to push the Attorney General to prosecute the sacked boss of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).
Madam Lauretta Vivian Lamptey has been removed from office after an investigative committee established a case of abuse of office against her. The committee following a petition submitted against Madam Lamptey concluded that the former CHRAJ boss was unfit to stay in office after she was alleged to have spent about GH¢182,000 to renovate her official residence.
The Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) said it 'is surprised at the decision of the president to only sack the CHRAJ boss after her lust for wasteful expenditure has weakened and incapacitated a state institution.'
The pressure group said it welcomes the decision but 'considers this punitive decision as incomplete and an act unintended to deter the menace of corruption in the public sector. AFAG's position is premised on the fundamental principle of public accountability and a fight against weakening of state institutions. Indeed, the 2012 Auditor General's report advised her against "wasteful spending".'
The statement added: 'Mr. President we are aware of the evidence in an exhibit tendered during the hearings that, Lauretta Lamptey was accused of 'general dereliction of duty'. Her colleague commissioners chastised her severely for improper conduct and described her as a total disgrace. We consider her actions therefore as inimical and against institutional development.
'Be it as it may, the immediate past chairman of the public accounts committee have accused you of not acting on all the reports submitted for the prosecution of public officers found culpable of weakening state institutions through wasteful spending and corruption.
'AFAG is worried about the politics of mass patronage and its consequent effect. Never in the economic history of this country have Ghanaians been impoverished than it is today. Under the leadership of the John Mahama administration, we are been made to believe that, wrong is right and wasteful expenditure is not fiscal indiscipline. Yet, we have sought refuge at the IMF, and the IMF is asking for fiscal discipline to adjust the budget. Hoping for a reduction of our high budget deficit due to "fiscal indiscipline" to probably a balanced budget if attainable.
'Mr. President don't condone acts which have brought us on our knees to the IMF. People who have ensured wasteful expenditure of public resources should not be harbored. We urge you to hand over the CHRAJ boss for public prosecution. She is a classic example of person(s) who have contributed to weakening of state institution through abuse of office.'

Agreement with the Delawares and Wyandot, 1843
Delaware, Wyandot
Delaware Nation, Oklahoma, Wyandotte Nation, Oklahoma
Citation: Tiller, Hodge
Dec. 14, 1843. | 9 Stat., 337. | Ratified July 25, 1848. with the proviso: "That the Wyandot Indian Nation shall take no better right or interest in and to said lands than is now vested in the Delaware Nation of Indians."
Agreement between the Delaware and Wyandot nations of Indians, concluded on the 14th day of December, 1843.
Whereas from a long and intimate acquaintance, and the ardent friendship which has for a great many years existed between the Delawares and Wyandots, and from a mutual desire that the same feeling shall continue and be more strengthened by becoming near neighbors to each other; therefore the said parties, the Delawares on one side, and the Wyandots on the other, in full council assembled, have agreed, and do agree, to the following stipulations, to wit:—
ARTICLE 1.
The Delaware nation of Indians, residing between the Missouri and Kansas rivers, being very anxious to have their uncles, the Wyandots, to settle and reside near them, do hereby donate, grant and quitclaim forever, to the Wyandot nation, three sections of land, containing six hundred and forty acres each, lying and being situated at the point of the junction of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers.
ARTICLE. 2.
The Delaware chiefs, for themselves, and by the unanimous consent of their people; do hereby cede, grant, quitclaim to the Wyandot nation and their heirs forever, thirty-six sections of land, each containing six hundred and forty acres, situated between the aforesaid Missouri and Kansas rivers, and adjoining on the west the aforesaid three donated sections, making in all thirty-nine sections of land, bounded as follows, viz.: Commencing at the point at the junction of the aforesaid Missouri and Kansas rivers, running west along the Kansas river sufficiently far to include the aforesaid thirty-nine sections; thence running north to the Missouri river; thence down the said river with its meanders to the place of beginning; to be surveyed in as near a square form as the rivers and territory ceded will admit of.
In consideration of the foregoing donation and cession of land, the Wyandot chiefs bind themselves, successors in office, and their people to pay to the Delaware nation of Indians, forty-six thousand and eighty dollars, as follows, viz: six thousand and eighty dollars to be paid the year eighteen hundred and forty-four, and four thousand dollars annually thereafter for ten years.
It is hereby distinctly understood, between the contracting parties, that the aforesaid agreement shall not be binding or obligatory until the President of the United States shall have approved the same and caused it to be recorded in the War Department. In testimony whereof, we, the chiefs and headmen of the Delaware nation, and the chiefs and headmen of the Wyandott nation, have, this fourteenth day of December, eighteen hundred and forty-three, set our signatures.

The foreign exchange market is also known as Fx or it is also found to be referred to as the forex.
All three of these have the same meaning, which is the trade of trading between different companies, banks, businesses, and governments that are located in different countries. The financial market is one that is always changing leaving transactions required to be completed through brokers, and banks. Many scams have been emerging in the FOREX business, as foreign companies and people are setting up online to take advantage of people who don't realize that foreign trade must take place through a broker or a company with direct participation involved in foreign exchanges.
A FOREX scam is one that involves trading but will turn out to be a fraud, you have no chance of getting your money back once you have invested it. If you were to invest money with a company stating they are involved in FOREX trading you want read closely to learn if they are permitted to do business in your country. have defrauded invesmany companies are not permitted in the FOREX market, as they tors before.

Arts & Architecture: The Entenza Years
Barbara Goldstein Editor
Simple, straightforward account of the birth of a new aesthetic. Brave new magazine composition, brave new design principles, brave new technology, brave new lifestyle, all assembled into a slim, almost fragile format that was just this side of self-indulgence—except it wasn't. It is of course the bible for mid-century aficionados, but don't let that fool you. It is as deep as you want to go, and I suggest you do go deep.
Creation is a Patient Search (L'atelier de la recherche patiente)
Surely if Le Corbusier must summon up patience, then we mere mortals must require it in extra large helpings. This book, with its rants, ravings, and alternating scolding and ecstatic tone, helped me, and countless others, to develop a healthy disregard for conventional wisdom and opt, instead, to operate outside the box.
Yoko's short, Haiku-like recipes for gentle, revealing ways in which to communicate with one another are poignant and intensely personal, but also universal in the way they tap into our common desire for simple, meaningful, and fulfilling relations with the world and those around us.
Norman Bel Geddes
The futuristic, Popular Science magazine-style images created by Bel Geddes were built on a solid foundation of design fundamentals and bravely negotiated the line between fantasy and reality, demonstrating a quick grasp of urban design, aeronautical engineering, and architecture only equaled by Le Corbusier on the other side of the world. His facility in creating a practical, if sadly unrecognized, template for a romantic, heroic environment continues to inspire me.
Letters to Clients
Selected and with commentary by Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer
Wright's letters inform us of his practical nature, his unwillingness to compromise, and his supreme self-confidence. But they also tell us of his almost uncanny ability to read his client's minds, and to spend vast intellectual and creative resources on each of his projects, regardless of the supposed "payback." Penny-pinching with actual finances, he drove himself and everyone associated with a project to the brink with his desire to realize both principle and result.
The Lotus and the Robot
The first and most insightful analysis of what has now become a common theme: the industrialization of Asia, and the driving principles behind its worldview. Swaggering and not a little overweaning, the central idea still rings true, and provides an alternative scenario to that we Westerners are culturally destined to follow.
McMaster-Carr Catalog
McMaster-Carr Company
Catalogues have a remarkable appeal to me. Perhaps it's the regimented, absolutely even-handed manner in which the goods are displayed, or the detailed facts that are appended to each entry, including metrics, materials, and applications. McMaster-Carr is a triumph of the form, from its wafer-thin paper to its sturdy binding, which has withstood thousands upon thousands of openings, and its micro-yet-legible typeface.
Mechanization Takes Command
Sigfried Giedion
What a revelation! Giedion weaves the strands of innovation we take for granted into a compelling fabric that helps to explain how and why our cities and towns took the shape they did. Hopefully someone of his stature will do the same for the Information Age.
Karl Popper
Popper's thinking directed me toward an inclusive philosophy in which the values of unrestricted access, transparency, and non-hierarchical structures became embedded in my consciousness and still serve as a moral and intellectual framework for my decisions, both architectural and personal.
Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung
Lester Bangs
The freewheeling, free-associative bacchanal that takes over the minute you open this book is like a tidal wave of insights, fevered imaginings, and half-baked truths that position Bangs's writing, like my mentor James Stirling's architecture, at the forbidden intersection of the animal and the spiritual.
RAN: Original Storyboards
The emotional impact of these sketches is simply overwhelming as Kurosawa conceives the narrative structure and settings for the film. They underscore, for me, just how futile the typical architect's rendering is to convey the true meaning of the way in which real life intersects with the architect's idealized images. The lesson, for me, lies in the fact that, ultimately, "life bats last."
Silence: Lectures and Writings
Cage's ability to exploit the "accidental" reveals the richness to be found in the seemingly random sounds, sights, and events that make up the environment. To designers who obsess over each detail, and in the process squeeze out every uncontrolled morsel, Cage implicitly cautions that they may be creating lifeless hulks which do little but celebrate their own solipsistic nature.
The Visual Display of Quantitative Information
Edward R. Tufte
Despite its numbing title, this volume, and its several cousins, is a visual feast. Its brilliantly selected examples, supplemented by a wise and perceptive text, propel the reader along a hyperbolic learning curve. I find myself referring to it so often that Tufte has nearly attained the status of a verb.
This novel is dedicated in its entirety to the bumbling, often obsessive circumstances of its protagonist and shares, with Beckett's other works, a profound, unvarnished view of the human condition in all of its absurd self-involvement. Appealing both for its formal structure and for its demonstration of how much can be accomplished within very narrow boundaries, Watt is an inspiration to the creative artist who hits a dead end, but just keeps on slogging ahead.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Pirsig is the ultimate do-it-yourself-pragmatist. I was inspired by the affirmation that personal attention, discipline, and daring in equal portions could fuel a whole self-sufficient, satisfying lifestyle. It's easy to see where Samuel Mockbee's "Rural Studio" fits in, and I hope that some of our work can also be traced to Pirsig's inspiration.

La redevance audiovisuelle est une taxe prélevée auprès des contribuables dont notamment des auditeurs et téléspectateurs, qui a pour objet le financement partiel ou principal des antennes publiques de radio et de télévision de certains pays.

 Pour le Danemark, la France, l'Irlande, l'Italie, la Norvège, la Suède et la Suisse, les foyers fiscaux sont imposés.
 Pour l'Allemagne, l'Autriche, la Belgique (en Région flamande et dans la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale, elle est adossée à une autre taxe. En Région wallonne, elle est perçue seule), la Finlande et le Royaume-Uni, les lieux de résidence (y compris les résidences secondaires) sont retenus pour l'assujettissement de cette taxe.
 Depuis 2000 la taxe a été supprimée aux Pays-Bas, et progressivement en Belgique (depuis 2001 dans la Région flamande et Bruxelles-Capitale et depuis 2018 en Région wallonne).

En Allemagne

Jusqu'à 2012
Le montant de la redevance audiovisuelle allemande en 2012 était de  par mois. Les radios et télévisions publiques allemandes étaient financées par les contribuables à hauteur de 80 à 85 %. Cette redevance était baptisée « GEZ » en référence au nom de l'organisme chargé de la percevoir, la Gebühreneinzugszentrale der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (« Centrale de collecte de la redevance des établissements de radiodiffusion de droit public en république fédérale d'Allemagne »). Une somme moins importante (en 2012 :  par mois) était perçue auprès des détenteurs de récepteurs radio, qui ne possédaient pas de téléviseur. Les personnes ne possédant ni téléviseur, ni poste de radio étaient soumises à la redevance s'ils possédaient un téléphone portable ou un ordinateur techniquement capable de recevoir Internet (même en l'absence d'un abonnement à Internet). Dans ce cas, la redevance à acquitter était du même montant que celle due par les détenteurs d'un poste radio, au motif que l'offre télévisuelle sur Internet est limitée (au sens incomplète pour recevoir les chaînes publiques par ce biais).

Depuis 2013
Cette redevance a été refondue au  et est uniforme à hauteur de  par mois, à ne payer qu'une seule fois par foyer fiscal à quelques rares exceptions (personnes sourdes et aveugles, personnes bénéficiant d'aide sociale, personne dont le revenu fiscal de référence est égal à 0, etc.). Les entreprises se doivent également de régler pour chaque site entre  et  par mois.

Le projet d'extension de la redevance aux autres appareils (smartphone, box internet…) et aux résidences secondaires a été mis en « pause fiscale » en .

La réforme est actuellement âprement critiquée : ses détracteurs arguent que du fait qu'elle ne distingue plus le fait de posséder un récepteur ou non (comme précédemment), elle représente un impôt déguisé qui n'est pas de la compétence des Länder et par conséquent est anticonstitutionnelle.

Le refus ou l'absence de paiement peut mener à une peine de 6 mois de prison.

En Belgique

en Flandre et à Bruxelles-capitale

Le , la redevance télévisée est abolie en Flandre.

En Wallonie
À partir de 2018, la redevance télévisuelle est supprimée.

En France

La redevance existe depuis 1933 pour les postes de radio et 1948 pour les récepteurs de télévision. La redevance rapporte 3,8 milliards d'euros selon les données de la direction générale des finances publiques en 2020. 27,6 millions de foyers sont assujettis à la redevance, selon les données du ministère de la Culture pour 2021. Et un peu moins de 23 millions la payent effectivement.

Promesse de campagne d'Emmanuel Macron lors de l'élection présidentielle de 2022, la redevance audiovisuelle est supprimée dans le cadre de la loi de finances rectificative pour 2022. La solution retenue est d'allouer une fraction de la TVA au financement de l'audiovisuel public. Cette solution devra évoluer d'ici 2025 car la méthode retenue deviendra illégale. L'affectation du produit des taxes devra comporter un lien avec la mission de service public financée.

En Israël
La Knesset a décidé qu'en Israël, les particuliers regardant la télévision via Internet ne paieraient pas de redevance audiovisuelle.

En Italie
En 2014, la redevance était de  par foyer avec télévision, quel qu'en soit l'usage.

Il existe une licence spéciale pour les postes de télévision ou de radio dans l'espace public. En 2016, le gouvernement décide de diminuer à 100 euros par foyer et de prélever la licence avec la facture d'électricité, dans le but de combattre la fraude.

La RAI voit les deux tiers de son financement assurés par la redevance, et dépend également de publicités.

Au Royaume-Uni
La redevance audiovisuelle au Royaume-Uni finance la BBC et la fraude est assujettie à des sanctions criminelles.

Des demandes d'accès à l'information révèlent que  ont été poursuivies pour le non-paiement de la redevance audiovisuelle au Royaume-Uni en 2014, réparties entre  en Angleterre,  au pays de Galles,  en Irlande de Nord,  en Écosse (32 en cour et  hors cour) et 15 dans l'Île de Man. Il est intéressant de noter que 9 des 10 régions ayant le plus de fraudeurs présumés sont en Angleterre alors que 9 des 10 régions en ayant le moins sont situées en Écosse. Toutefois, au prorata, c'est au pays de Galles que se trouve le plus grand nombre de présumés fraudeurs.

Il apparaît que 70 % des personnes poursuivies en lien avec la redevance audiovisuelle sont des femmes. La BBC assure toutefois que les femmes ne sont pas délibérément ciblées par ses agents.

Toutes les poursuites ne se soldent cependant pas par une condamnation. 2014 a vu  relaxées en Angleterre (12,4 %), pour  (9,4 %) au pays de Galles,  (26,2) en Irlande du Nord, 12,5 % en Écosse.

En Angleterre et au pays de Galles, le montant d'une amende est fixé en fonction du salaire du fraudeur, qui varie entre 25 et 125 % du salaire hebdomadaire. L'amende maximale est , sauf à Jersey où elle est de  et Guernesey où elle est de . Toutefois, l'amende moyenne est 170 livres en Angleterre et au pays de Galles, alors qu'elle varie entre 70 et 80 livres dans le reste du Royaume-Uni. Moins de 35 % des amendes imposées en matière de redevance audiovisuelle sont recouvrées.

En plus du payement de l'amende, la fraude est consignée dans le casier judiciaire, et les frais de justice peuvent être à la charge du fraudeur. Si l'amende n'est pas payée, des jours de prison proportionnels à la somme due sont parfois imposés. À  par jour, cette option coûte cher au contribuable. En 2012, 51 personnes ont passé en moyenne 22 jours en prison, en 2013 32 personnes ont passé en moyenne 24 jours derrière les barreaux, en 2014 39 personnes pour en moyenne 20 jours de prison. En Écosse, aucune incarcération n'a été décidée depuis au moins 5 ans. Le parlement britannique a récemment proposé de décriminaliser ce crime, mais cette proposition a été rejetée par la chambre des Lords, par 178 votes contre 175, en . En 2005/2006, les Lords avaient au contraire demandé la décriminalisation du non-paiement de la redevance.

La première taxe au Royaume-Uni date de 1922 pour la radio, la télévision sera elle taxée à partir de 1946.

L'organisme actuellement chargé de cette taxe, nommé TV Licensing, est en fait une instance de la BBC, depuis qu'une loi de 1990 (le Broadcast Act) rend le groupe de chaînes publiques responsable de la collecte de son budget. La BBC est financée par les contribuables à environ 96 % — le solde provenant de la vente de droits à des chaînes étrangères.

Montant

Le montant de la « Colour TV Licence » est passé de  en 2005 à  en 2010 (trois fois moins pour les possesseurs d'une télévision en noir et blanc).

Assujettissement
Le paiement de cet impôt est obligatoire pour tout foyer où les occupants regardent ou enregistrent les programmes télé au moment de leur diffusion, peu importe le matériel utilisé. L'absence de cette utilisation dans le foyer conduit à une exonération de cet impôt. Tous autres usages (jeux vidéo, DVD, vidéo à la demande..), y compris d'un poste de télévision, ne conduisent pas à un assujettissement à la taxe. Sont aussi exemptés les foyers où habite une personne de plus de 75 ans.

Contrôles
Après prise de contact par courrier, des agents de la BBC peuvent passer vérifier la validité de la déclaration d'exemption ou du manque de licence pour l'adresse (aucune déclaration n'est obligatoire à priori). Ils ne sont pas assermentés et il n'existe aucune obligation légale de coopération pour les membres du public, qui peuvent refuser de les recevoir ou même de répondre à leurs questions et courriers. La BBC peut cependant tenter d'obtenir un mandat de perquisition sur preuve convaincante d'évasion probable.
La BBC est tenue de prouver la nécessité pour le foyer d'avoir une licence, et non l'inverse.
Les taux de détection sont faibles.

Guy Dammann, éditorialiste au journal de centre gauche britannique The Guardian, estime que le mode de perception de cette taxe fait peser des menaces sur la vie privée des citoyens. Il qualifie certains moyens employés comme « dignes du MI5 ». Il défend à l'inverse un mode de fonctionnement calqué sur celui des chaînes câblées.

Paiement
La licence peut être achetée, renouvelée, transférée ou annulée en ligne sur le site TV LICENSING. Le règlement peut être hebdomadaire, mensuel, trimestriel ou annuel, et effectué par divers moyens de paiement.

En Suisse
Avant 1997, c'est l'ancienne régie fédérale des PTT qui prélève la redevance.

Dès 1997
En Suisse, la « taxe radio-TV » est prélevée pour le compte de la Confédération par Billag, une société privée filiale à 100 % de Swisscom, héritière de la partie télécommunication de l'ancienne régie fédérale des PTT qui était chargée de collecter la redevance avant sa privatisation. Celle-ci est reversée aux radio et télévisions privées locales ainsi qu'à la SSR produisant les programmes de télévision et de radio publics dans les quatre langues nationales. La taxe sert aussi à financer les émetteurs radio/télé publics, à payer les droits de diffusion, les droits d'auteurs et à soutenir la promotion culturelle nationale cinématographique, littéraire et musicale.

Le montant de la redevance est fixé par le Conseil fédéral. À titre indicatif, en 2010, le niveau annuel de la redevance pour les particuliers est de  (soit environ ) pour un poste radio, de  (~) pour un poste de télévision, soit  (~) pour un téléviseur et une radio.

Le , Verein « JA zu No Billag » dépose l'initiative populaire fédérale « Oui à la suppression des redevances radio et télévision », surnommée « No Billag », mais celle-ci est rejetée le  par 71,6 % des votants et par l'intégralité des cantons.

Dès 2019
Dès le  la redevance est collectée par Serafe. À la suite de l'acceptation des modifications de la loi sur la radio et la télévision (LRTV) en , le peuple suisse a voté pour un changement de système de perception, la redevance de réception dépendante de la possession d'un appareil est ainsi remplacée par une redevance indépendante de la possession d'un appareil de réception. La redevance coûte 365 fr par année dès le , contre 451 fr précédemment jusqu'au . Celui qui ne possède ni télévision, ni internet, ni tablette tactile, ni radio, ni smartphone n'est pas tenu de payer la redevance, il doit alors remplir un formulaire adéquat par année pour en être dispensé, possibilité qui est limitée à 5 ans et il peut alors s'exposer à des contrôles. Les données sont fournies à Serafe par les contrôle de l'habitant des cantons dont le nom, le prénom, l'adresse, la date de naissance, le type de ménage et la date d'arrivée au domicile. La transmission des données étant automatique, il n'y a pas besoin de signaler expressément son changement d'adresse à Serafe.

Dès 2021
Le , le Conseil fédéral suisse a décidé de baisser significativement la redevance audiovisuelle à partir de 2021, le nombre de ménages assujettis ayant augmenté.

Au Canada

En Amérique du Nord, aucune formule de redevance n'existe pour la télévision. Aucune taxe n'est prélevée auprès des citoyens par rapport au nombre d'appareils qu'ils possèdent chez-eux.

Au Québec, les stations de télévision publiques (Radio-Canada, Télé-Québec) sont subventionnées directement par le gouvernement, desquels ils obtiennent la majeure partie de leur financement (l'autre partie provient notamment de la vente de publicité).

Les réseaux de télévision privées (TVA, V télé, chaînes spécialisées) sont subventionnées indirectement par l'État en profitant de crédits d'impôt qui remboursent entre 12 % et 25 % des dépenses de main-d'œuvre pour la production d'émissions admissibles (principalement les dramatiques, les émissions culturelles, les variétés, les documentaires et les émissions pour la jeunesse). Ces émissions ne peuvent être produites directement par la chaîne. TVA et V télé possèdent donc des filiales (respectivement JPL Production et Point-Final) qui produisent la plupart de leurs émissions afin d'être admissible aux crédits d'impôts.

Les producteurs indépendants (les entreprises qui produisent des émissions pour des diffuseurs) sont aussi admissibles aux crédits d'impôt.

Ces mesures fiscales sont financées directement par l'impôt sur le revenu payé par les contribuables et non par un impôt spécifique.

Au Maroc

À Rabat, à Casablanca et à Tanger
La Taxe pour la Promotion du Paysage Audiovisuel National (TPPAN) est prélevée par les fournisseurs régionaux d'eau et d'électricité Redal (Rabat), Lydec (Casablanca) et Amendis (Tanger) sur base d'une consommation d'électricité dépassant  par mois.

Q: Get Mobile no from real device I want to get the mobile number of a sim which is inserted into the device. I know as pr the android SDK TelephoneManger is the class by which we can get it by getLine1Number() method. but it always returns null values.
Queries:

*

*Can i get mobile number from
device?

*Is it a sim dependent or in some case
also device dependent?

*Any other ways to get the mobile number from device?

A: You are using correct and the only approach available to the common user (AFAIK). It is mainly SIM dependent (it is not obligatory to have ), and in some cases may be device dependent (getLine1Number() not correctly implemented).
To be more precise, IMSI uniquely identifies SIM. But MSISDN (the subscriber number) is not uniquely related to SIM, as it is possible to change MSISDN on the SIM. Network may use IMSI from SIM to find MSISDN in the HLR and establish the call.
So, MSISDN is not mandatory to be on the SIM.

A: You should look at this question and its comments.

Scepter Military Fuel Canister (MFC) is engineered and produced to military specifications, U.N. certified, and codified by many nations globally.
Scepter's MFCs are supplied to military entities directly, as accessories on OEM military vehicles, and for OEM military auxiliary equipment and systems.
Stringent military specifications apply to the Scepter MFCs, which in turn means that they cannot always be fully compatible with guidelines or standards that apply in civilian fuel can markets.

Homepage : Comment : The international community's whitewashing of Yemen

The international community's whitewashing of Yemen
The Saudi-led military action in Yemen has killed thousands and injured many more [Getty]
Analysis: A reluctance to criticise Saudi Arabia's military campaign has empowered Riyadh to destroy thousands of Yemeni lives, writes Jonathan Fenton-Harvey.
Yemen, US, arms sales,
After more than 1,000 days of war, Yemen's humanitarian situation has rapidly deteriorated. Fresh updates hit our screens of Saudi-led airstrikes on civilian areas.
Riyadh's coalition has imposed a land, air and maritime blockade on Yemen since November, restricting vital humanitarian supplies, while NGOs constantly urge more access for aid to reach civilian areas.
Meanwhile, cholera has hit a million cases - the largest number of cases in a single outbreak in recent history. Other diseases including dipheria have been noted, along with millions of malnourished women, children and men. Yemen's healthcare system has collapsed from the war, making it impossible to contain these otherwise treatable ailments.
It is due to a combination of support and silence from world powers - particularly in the West - towards the Saudi-led military campaign. Without such assistance, Saudi Arabia could not carry out its atrocities.
Now eminent political figures are trying to compensate for the damage caused by showing vague, half-hearted concern for Yemen, without acknowledging their own role in creating the crisis, while still otherwise supporting the coalition's bombing.
In December, US President Donald Trump called for Saudi Arabia to lift the blockade to allow aid in, saying Yemenis "desperately need it". Others within his administration echoed his words.
The United States is still the biggest arms seller to Saudi Arabia
However, comments from US Defence Secretary James Mattis' are more telling. While again speaking of his concern for Yemenis, saying the US would do "anything we can" to limit civilian casualties, he also declared his continued support for the Saudi-led coalition.
After all, the United States is still the biggest arms seller to Saudi Arabia, previously penning a $110 billion deal to the kingdom.
It is simply contradictory to speak of concern for Yemeni lives and support the actions of the Saudi-led coalition. Reporters including Robert Fisk have observed how the Saudi-led coalition has deliberately targeted civilian areas and agricultural infrastructure, to cripple the country and make it more dependent on external support.
Despite their claims, this has been Saudi Arabia's goal since Yemen became unified in 1990, and even before that. It backed the southern secessionist movement in 1994 to divide the country. A strong, unified Yemen is what many analysts believe Saudi Arabia fears the most.
Following President Trump's comments, the UK International Development Secretary Penny Mordant announced in December $50 million in aid to Yemen from the British government, while calling for the "immediate opening up of commercial and humanitarian access into Yemen".
Prime Minister Theresa May also criticised the blockade, while boasting of previous UK humanitarian donations to Yemen.
While Mordant directed criticisms at the Saudi blockade, she did not address the primary cause of Yemeni suffering: weapons sales to and impunity for the Saudi kingdom's military action.
And of course, the $50 million aid package barely dents the $8 billion or so pocketed by the UK in arms sales since the war started.
As Britain has actually placed military advisers in control rooms for Saudi-led bombing campaigns, while previously having blocked investigations into war crimes in Yemen, it leaves no doubt that the UK knows what the kingdom is doing, and it is complicit in its campaign.
Even French President Emmanuel Macron has warned about the blockade, while continuing France's involvement in selling arms to Saudi Arabia. They are all joined by a wide range of Western/European governments who play lesser but still significant roles in weapons transactions to the kingdom.
Not only do these comments barely scratch the surface of Yemen's suffering, or why people really need aid, they reveal the hypocrisy of those who supply weapons, and who are complicit in Yemen's plight.
The message it sends to those suffering repression is that their human rights don't matter, and that their wellbeing is less important than arms company profits
Andrew Smith at Campaign Against Arms Trade told me: "These arms sales are about more than shifting weapons. They are also a sign of political support and an endorsement for the regimes they are being sold to.
"The message it sends to those suffering repression is that their human rights don't matter, and that their wellbeing is less important than arms company profits."
Smith is correct. These weapons sales, with knowledge about what they will be used for, are a symbol of direct consent for the Saudi-led violations against the Yemeni people.
Some have condemned weapons sales, including the German Green Party and UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Yet their voices are marginalised by overwhelming US and European governmental support.
It is often argued that if Western nations withdrew weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, the kingdom would simply purchase them elsewhere. Yet as influential global powers, the withdrawal from the market of the US and the UK would set an example for others, and create a precedent for condemning Saudi Arabia.
They could also use their international leverage to negotiate a peaceful settlement in Yemen. This is especially true of Britain as the "pen holder" for Yemen at the UN Security Council, and who therefore holds the most responsibility for peace-making.
It is even conceivable that, for now, seemingly outspoken remarks from mid-level politicians are simply trying to alleviate this renewed pressure from NGOs, the United Nations and others, rather than genuinely caring about the Yemeni people's best interests - especially as they are mostly addressing an area that has had enough international condemnation: the blockade.
There is, however, hope. As there was enough international pressure and awareness to force weapons sellers to Saudi Arabia to condemn the blockade, which resulted in a partial lifting of restrictions, greater pressure to halt arms transfers to the kingdom and remove impunity for its actions could yet achieve just that.

Singer. Songwriter. Comedian. Rabbi. Cantor. Gary Shapiro touched many lives in and around Los Angeles in ways a typical comedian never did. Shapiro died unexpectedly on Thursday. More details on that as they become available.
Shapiro was born July 1, 1964. He was only 52.
Memorial services will be held at 12:30 p.m. Monday, May 1, at Mount Sinai, 5950 Forest Lawn Drive, in Los Angeles.
Shapiro (@ElSmoocho on Twitter) had just performed at the beginning of the week at the monthly Top Tune showcase for singer/songwriters.
He presided over many Jewish ceremonies and celebrations in his functions as a rabbi or as cantor at Congregation Beth Israel. He also served as a religious consultant on TV series such as Six Feet Under and Seventh Heaven. His credits also include "Twitter guy" on Showtime's The Green Room with Paul Provenza. Shapiro described that last job in an early episode of Jackie Kashian's "The Dork Forest" with the now also-late Marcia Wallace.
In 2015, you could hear him at length talking about himself and hot political topics of 2015 with David Feldman on The David Feldman Show.
All I ever really wanted in life is just hundreds of thousands of people overpaying me to entertain them.
Here are some videos from Shapiro to leave you by, for now…rest in peace, Gary Shapiro.
