Creating safe and empowered communities in Cambodia
International Program Feb. 12, 2019
In 1992, Pho and his family purchased a piece of land in the city of Battambang and prepared to build a simple house. He was dumbfounded when the local authorities told him that the land was actually stateowned and he could not build there.
"I was not ready to give up on hope," says Pho.
He rallied together local organizations to address land rights issues in his community and inspired others to participate. Pho's fight took 21 years before he received an official certificate for his land.
Building Awareness and Promoting Land Rights
Habitat Cambodia is working to ensure that access to land is a reality for other families like Pho's in the city of Battambang by supporting families and local authorities in applying for the government's Social Land Concession initiative. The Habitat Cambodia SECURE (Safe and Empowered Communities for Urban Reintegration) Project is unique in making centrally located, urban land available for housing for people living in poverty.
No systematic land registration has been carried out to date in several regions of Cambodia, meaning that many people do not have any formal land certificates for the land they live on. The process of granting small pieces of land through Social Land Concessions has been very slow. Habitat Cambodia is working to remove the barriers to these land grants, so the families can have access to secure land and stable housing.
Providing Housing Solutions and Support Services
In addition to building awareness about land rights and helping informal settlers secure land, Habitat Cambodia is also providing technical housing support services to 300 of these informal settlement families, sharing basic construction techniques, providing advice on quality construction materials and home maintenance. These training sessions empower participants to maintain their home and check the quality of construction materials as they build their own affordable house.
With our support, Habitat Cambodia is also working with local partners to provide 40 new Habitat homes with water and sanitation support for low income families in Battambang. This will provide families in Battambang with improved living and health conditions and 120 children better conditions for living and studying.

Pickering anniversary offers reminders on doping
It is 25 years ago this month since Ron Pickering, the former national athletics coach and respected BBC commentator, died at the age of 60.
Ron Pickering: wise words from 25 years ago seem especially relevant today
Having coached Lynn Davies to Olympic long jump gold in 1964, Pickering was snapped up by the BBC for his inside knowledge of the sport. Pickering used his BBC position as a platform to highlight many issues, particularly drug use and corruption, including one famous interview on Sportsnight with Coleman in 1976, ahead of the Montreal Olympics, in which he accused the eastern bloc, and the Soviet Union in particular, of systemic doping and drug test cover-ups. Sound familiar?
Pickering's son, Shaun, who himself now does broadcast sports commentary and like his father is a staunch supporter of the British Athletics Writers' Association, marked the anniversary by reminding friends of an extract from the seminal sports investigation book, The Lords of the Rings: Power, Money and Drugs in the Modern Olympics by Vyv Simpson and Andrew Jennings.
It is worth another read today:
We wrote in our introduction to this book of our difficulties in finding officials and administrators who were prepared to go on the record and tell the truth in public about all the things wrong with modern sport. One of the few who did not lack the courage to speak out was the eminent former British Olympic coach, teacher and broadcaster Ron Pickering, who died suddenly in 1991.
'I think there's the gravest danger that sport is on a slippery slope from which there may not be any return,' Ron told us shortly before his death. 'A lot of us feel that in the last decade or so it's been violated by greed, by drugs, by hypocrisy, by cant and by political intrusion. And by bad leadership.
'Sport is the only human institution that is based on idealism. It's survived thirty-three centuries because of that. If it were simply competition it wouldn't have lasted thirty-three weeks. Anything that is not based on ethics cannot be called sport. If it's a corrupt environment, we can't invite our children into it.
'We must be the jealous guardians of that ideal if we're going to bring them into it and every time we see anyone breaking that ethic we've got to jump on them. Otherwise we lose the precious jewel that we hand on to the next generation. And I don't think that my generation has been particularly good at looking after it.'
As Shaun Pickering points out, his father was a driving force behind the formation of Haringey AC, one of this country's most successful clubs, and where Sebastian Coe competed in the latter stages of his own track career.
"Seb Coe himself quoted from the above in his acceptance speech for the IAAF Presidency," Shaun Pickering said, "and so I hope he realises that his old Club President is looking down on him expecting him to make good decisions for a sport which we hold dear."

Okaaaay, this is a really long overdue post, more than a year in fact, LOL!
He's a Luts 2015 Summer boy! He reminds me of the younger version of a character so I just had to bring him home! I bought a KDF body along with some random stuff to qualify for his head and requested Luts to send him as a full doll, which they did! He arrived on Aug 18 2015.
Yes, I told you it was a long overdue post lmao, because I was so lazy to edit the pictures, but I finally did it so yeah. You know what they say about better late than never and all that lololol.
Anyhow, here's the box opening for this little cutie, with Daniel as his welcoming committee! Sorry for the dark and grainy pictures as it was taken at night with a crappy camera.
He is (loosely) based off a character of the same name from the otome game, Kissed by the Baddest Bidder, but I might eventually change his surname. I am still trying to find the perfect pink sweater, wig and eyes for him, but you know how lazy I can be LOL.

Not so much of a PSA in the same sense of previous PSA's, but perhaps some helpful information nonetheless. Many of the following 'service announcements' may warrant a more full-fledged blog regarding the ins and outs of how the Harrington's accomplished the following tasks, but for now, this is more of an area to find some helpful links when preparing to leave Korean Public School and/or travel from Korea to the USA with a dog.
Speaking of the dog, the above photos are bit old and the Lady is now sporting a much more cropped hairstyle allowing her to feel a bit fresh in this humid, Korean summer heat!
Preparing to leave Korea is filled with the need to sell, pack, apply, meet for final dinners, say good-bye and try to organize something that resembles life after departure in whatever corner of the world you've decided to tackle next.
Because so many have come before us and done this task of leaving, it's nice to read through some blogs and discover what worked and didn't work for others as they prepared to leave. The Harrington's are impressed with this detailed account of one teacher's leaving process from filling out forms to shipping things home. More info regarding shipping things (even from Incheon Airport) home can be found at Farm Boy and City Girl's website.
Important forms for EPIKers (Daejeon specifically) who need Pension, Severance Pay and Exit Allowance can be found under the downloads tab here.
Information about flying with Pets on Korean Air which happens to be an impressive airline which is a bit more expensive for people, but the most reasonable for pets, making it ultimately the best deal - people are comfortable, pets are comfortable and it costs no more than $200 to fly any animal whether on board or in cargo. In cargo, pets are in a temperature controlled area designed with pets specifically in mind! Thanks Korean Air! Looking forward to flying with you and entrusting our sweet girl to your care!
Information about dogs departing from Korea and their quarantine requirements: here.
Form for Entry into the United States: here.
Sizing your dog for a kennel: here.
Sources for abundant information regarding everything you want to know about flying with pets: PetTravel and Animal Rescue Korea.
And that's what the Harrington's have discovered thus far in their process of leaving South Korea.
Oh, and we should mention, for those who wish to purchase airline tickets and pay with Korean Won, the Harrington's have had nothing but excellent experiences with Kangsan Travel. They provide services online, English-website and other services, absolutely perfect and easy to manage, send them an inquiry or select your tickets online and await their reply - no hassle and you can pay in WON!

Remainers are losing their struggle to stop Brexit. Although public opinion seems to back a second referendum, Theresa May's conservative government is determined to leave the European Union, while Labour's leader Jeremy Corbyn has so far shown no willingness to oppose the right-wing implementation of the 2016 referendum.
The Liberal Democrats, the major anti-Brexit political force, have proven to be ineffective, in some instances acting sloppily. Back in July, for instance, the former Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron and his successor, Vince Cable, failed to show up in parliament to vote on two amendments tabled by hardline Brexiters. The amendments passed by a slim margin.
So how can Brexit be stopped? The answer is: remainers need to resort to more decisive tactics.
If their demands to hold a second Brexit referendum are rejected on the grounds that there has already been such a vote and Leave won, they should call for a referendum in areas that voted to remain in the EU, namely London, Scotland and Northern Ireland, to break away from the UK. People need to use the strategy of the demagogues against demagoguery, expose the absurdity of Brexiters' argument that a referendum represents the unquestionable "will of the people".
Right-wing demagogues love referendums because they allow them to circumvent parliamentary democracy, separation of powers and checks and balances. Without checks and balances, referendums are instruments of tyranny, either of an individual or of a faction. That is why, for example, Turkish leader Erdogan used a referendum to change the constitution and give himself semi-dictatorial powers.
Referendums are the preferred tool of demagogues trying to dismantle democracy. They can deceive the public, lie and promise things they cannot deliver, play with identity politics, and when the vote is done there is no turning back.
With the demagogues and xenophobes firmly in power, the only way to stop Brexit is to use the strategy of the demagogues against them. British nationalists hate the multiculturalism of the European Union, but they oppose the break-up of the United Kingdom. The only way to persuade them of the absurdity of their argument is to use a referendum to break up the UK.
Brexit opponents should insist on holding independence referendums in London, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Tories would most certainly oppose such a referendum, thus revealing that their pro-Brexit fervour is not about democracy and the will of the people, but about manipulating a vote to impose a nationalistic, xenophobic ideology and dismantling checks and balances in the process.
Furthermore, the threat of independence referendums would give the anti-Brexit camp a powerful argument to demand that in order to avoid the break-up of the UK, the country should restore its constitutional order: parliamentary sovereignty, separation of powers, checks and balances. Brexiters either restore constitutional order, admit that the referendum was only advisory and stop using the vote as an excuse to impose their political agenda, or it will be the end of the UK.
So, direct democracy needs checks and balances, or else it becomes the tools of demagogues and can lead to violation of human rights, or the tyranny of a faction.

Our 24/7 hotline gives you access to legal information at any time, no matter how far along in your case you are. We are ready now to begin fighting for you as you start the Detroit drunk driving appeal process.
Appealing a Guilty Verdict or Sentence in a Detroit Drunk Driving Case
After a jury or judge returns a verdict in your case, there are a number of options available to you to continue your legal battle. In fact, even before a verdict is reached, there may be certain motions available to you which could help you achieve a better outcome. If at any point you feel your legal team is not in control of your case, hire an experienced defender and take over control of your future.
In some cases, including most high profile criminal cases, a guilty verdict will lead to an appeal. In order to appeal a verdict, you will have to demonstrate that bias, misconduct, or some other illegal means led to the guilty verdict in your case. This is extremely difficult to prove, and only by working with the best possible Detroit drunk driving appeals lawyer will you have a chance to overcome even the most outrageous of verdicts.
In other cases, defendants will appeal the sentence itself, which will be reached by a judge in accordance with the information contained in a pre sentence investigation, along with the guidelines set by the state for sentencing. If a sentence greatly exceeds the guidelines or other precedents set by Detroit courts, or if for any other reason you feel it is unlawful or unconstitutional (for example, if you feel it qualifies as cruel or unusual) it is crucial that you take action to appeal to a higher court. A successful appeal always starts with hiring the right appellate defense attorney, yet appeals are highly time sensitive and in many cases, your right to appeal expires within weeks of the court's decision. Act fast to contact a qualified defender and continue your fight for justice.
Types of Drunk Driving Appeals in Detroit
Most appeals fit into the category of appeal by right, in which case the appellant can petition a higher court to review the case without any other permission necessary. In appeal by application for leave cases, however, a defendant must first ask the court to grant permission for appeal. It is crucial that you work with a lawyer who can help you determine exactly what you need to do in order to appeal a DUI conviction in Detroit. Contact us now to learn more about our proven approach to appellate defense.

Q: Storing data in a ruby C extension - terrible idea or not? My team is working on an MMO server in Ruby, and we opted to start moving computationally intensive operations into a C extension. As part of that effort, we moved the actual data storage into C (using Data_Get_Struct and all that). So, for example, each Ruby "Zone" object has an associated "ZoneKernel::Zone" C struct where the actual binary data is stored.
Basically, I'm wondering if this is a terrible idea or not. I'm not super familiar with the ruby internals, but it seems like the data should be fine as long as the parent Zone stays in memory on the ruby side (thus preventing garbage collection of the C data).
One caveat is that we've been getting semi-regular "Stack Consistency Errors" that crash our server - this seems like potentially a related memory issue (instead of just your garden variety segfault) - if anyone has any knowledge of what that might be, I would appreciate that as well!

A: As stated in the documentation to Data_Wrap_Struct(klass, mark, free, ptr) function:

The free argument is the function to free the pointer allocation. If
  this is -1, the pointer will be just freed.
These mark / free functions are invoked during GC execution.

Your wrapped native structure will be automatically freed when its corresponding Ruby object is finalized. Until that happens, your data will not be freed unless you do so manually.
Writing C extensions doesn't guarantee a performance boost, but it almost always increases the complexity of your code. Profile your server in order to measure your performance gains, and develop your Zone class in pure Ruby if viable.

A: In general I like to keep any data that could change outside of my source. Loading it from YAML or a database means you can tweak the data to your heart's content without needing to recompile. Obviously, if your compile time and load times are fast then it's not as big an issue, but it's still a good idea to separate the two.
I favor YAML, because it's a standard format, so you could access the same file from any number of languages. You could load it directly into the C side, or into the Ruby side, depending on what seems faster/smarter.

Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust signs the Armed Forces Covenant
Posted Friday, 15 December 2017
Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust has joined nearly 2,000 organisations from across the UK who have pledged their support to those involved with the Armed Forces, by signing the Armed Forces Covenant.
On Monday, representatives from the Ministry of Defence, 243 Field Hospital, Wessex Reserve Forces and Cadets' Association came together to witness Plymouth Hospitals' Chief Executive, Ann James, and Trust Chairman, Richard Crompton, sign the document and pledge their support on behalf of the Trust.
"It's a great privilege to have the opportunity to publicly demonstrate the importance of our relationship with the military and to be able to prove our commitment to them in this way", said Richard.
The Armed Forces Covenant, which was first published in 2013, acts as an agreement in principle from each organisation, that those who serve or who have served as part of the Armed Forces community are treated fairly. The Covenant sets out the relationship between the nation, the government and the Armed Forces, with organisations promising their support through services, policies and projects.
"We are delighted that you [the Trust] wanted to demonstrate your support for the Armed Forces community by signing the Armed Forces Covenant," explains Jon Beake, Senior Regional Employer Engagement Director for the Wessex Reserve Forces and Cadets' Association. "It has been a pleasure discussing how it should be tailored to make it relevant for Defence and for the Trust to provide mutual and tangible benefit.
"The Trust's Covenant includes supporting the employment of veterans, service spouses and reservists, which has qualified them for a Bronze Employer Recognition Award. As the Trust is one of the largest employers in Plymouth, and Plymouth has such a large military population, it is really important that we commit to working so closely together in this way.
"I invite every employer/organisation to emulate the Trust in publicly declaring their support for the Armed Forces and their families."

The very seat of government and administration of a bygone era, envisioned by the boldness of Sir Stamford Raffles, founder of the British trading post eastward of India. He set out in the Raffles Town plan of 1822 to permanently mark out a sector of Old Singapore where the early European settlers set up their homes, alongside the Administrative houses like the Old Parliament and the Empress Place (now the Asian Civilisation Museum). In later years, the stately colonial buildings like the City Hall and Supreme Court continued to cement this district's key role for the government then and now. Today, the new Parliament House and Supreme Court are within a few minutes of their predecessors.
Not forgetting to play, the early British settlers had Raffles to thank for the gorgeous plot of green space aptly named the 'Padang' or 'Field' in the Malay language. Deliberately marked out and given instructions by Raffles to be kept as a green space for recreational and social activities, the Padang has through its glorious and sometimes tumultuous history played host to as varied a range of activities as you can imagine. Among them, the venue for sporting events such as the Singapore Marathon, SCC Rugby Sevens Tournaments, F1 Singapore GP finale concerts to name a few.
In 2015, the grandest National Day Parade (NDP) of the Republic of Singapore, the SG50 Golden Jubilee celebrations on the 9th August 2015 was held here at the Padang, the very same space the first NDP 50 years ago on 9 August 1966 declared Singapore's arrival as a sovereign nation.
We highlight below some important features and monuments within the Civic District surrounding the Padang and the Esplanade Park (Lim Bo Seng & Tan Kim Seng Memorial).
Walk around the Padang, have a small picnic and watch a game going on. Stroll to the Singapore River.
Visit beautiful and historic St. Andrew's Cathedral.
Skyline from the Civic District.
Site of arguably the best South East Asian and Singaporean art in the world. Well worth the visit.
Lest We Forget. A simple yet solemn reminder of the pains and sacrifices of war that the peaceful Lion City once endured in a not too distance past. WW1 and WW2 combatants that were dispatched from Singapore to the theatres of war here and in the region, and as far as Europe.
THE PADANG, or 'field' in Malay, left as it is since Raffles arrived in 1819. He designated this field as a space reserved for social and recreational purposes. Has been since then.
A memorial to commemorate the philanthropic efforts of Mr. Tan, a Straits Chinese businessman who famously gave a sum of money to the municipal government to build Singapore's first fresh water works in 1857.
A social club started by the Eurasian community in Singapore. Today, membership is opened to the general public.
The 2nd oldest club in Singapore. Cricket was one of the oldest sports to be played here, other than football, hockey and Tennis.
St. Andrew's Road and Connaught Drive.

Change at top of diagnostics firm
Omega founder and CEO Shepherd steps down
Terry Murden, Editor | December 14, 2017
Omega Diagnostics, the Scottish food tolerance and testing company, has announced that its founder and chief executive Andrew Shepherd has agreed to step down and resign from the board with immediate effect.
The Alva-based company said he will remain with the group as global ambassador – life president and will be succeeded by Colin King, currently chief operating officer.
The changeover was announced as the company reported a fall in half-year adjusted profit before tax of £0.22m (2016: £0.56m) on a 4% rise in revenue.
Since being established in 1987, focused on allergy, food intolerance and infectious disease Omega has built an extensive distribution network in more than 100 countries.
In September 2006, Mr Shepherd led the company through an IPO and has been instrumental in growing the group since its first acquisition of Genesis Diagnostics and Cambridge Nutritional Sciences in August 2007.
David Evans, chairman, said: "Firstly, I would like to thank Andrew for not only establishing Omega over thirty years ago but for his passion and commitment to the business since then.
"Andrew commands a huge amount of respect both internally and externally and I am hoping that in his new role as global ambassador for the company that respect will make the process of adaptation easier and allow Andrew to help the company deliver on his and the company's vision.
"Secondly, a transition of this nature is one that all of us recognise will have its challenges as employees, customers and partners adjust to Andrew undertaking a different role. It also brings new opportunities for the company and I believe we can capitalise upon these in the months ahead.
"Thirdly, Colin King, who was brought into the company in 2015 as part of a planned succession process will now have the opportunity to drive Omega onto the next level.
"The challenges in front of us are obvious and I know that Colin is up for the challenge and that he, along with all of us at Omega will deliver in a meaningful way for the benefit of all stakeholders."
Mr Shepherd said: "The last 30 years have been a real mix of excitement and challenges and some disappointments of course.
"It has been an absolute pleasure to experience Omega corporate life and the science that we use on a daily basis, and to create and investigate new opportunities and interactions with so many people around the world.
"The company is now moving into an accelerated growth phase and there are some very exciting times ahead.
"With Colin's appointment as CEO I feel he is very capable of delivering the next phase of growth and I wish him all the best with the task ahead."
Mr King added: "It's a great privilege and honour to follow Andrew as CEO of Omega after building the company over the past 30 years.
"Although we have some short term challenges, I firmly believe that we can deliver our accelerated growth strategy to the benefit of all stakeholders and I will do my utmost to ensure the company's success."
Regarding the outlook for the firm, Mr Evans said: "Our food sensitivity business remains a key growth driver for us and it is clear that long term opportunities remain, particularly in the US where we now have three partner companies.
"Certain growth initiatives are taking slightly longer to bear fruit and thus, we now anticipate a slower build up in revenue in this and the next financial year, compared to our original expectation.
"Overall, we remain confident about our long term prospects. Whilst we are experiencing a number of short term headwinds in our core business, we believe that the impact will be more than mitigated by the success we expect from positive achievements over the medium term as we complete the commercialisation of key products for Allergy, Malaria and now CD4."

Bionade () — производящийся в Германии безалкогольный прохладительный газированный напиток.

Бионад представляет собой производимый в нескольких вкусовых вариациях лимонад, технология изготовления которого в определённой степени сходна с пивоварением. Название напитка образовано от слов «биологический» (имея в виду «экологически чистый») и «лимонад», что должно подчеркивать отличие вкусовых и пищевых свойств бионада от обычных прохладительных напитков. Так, для приготовления бионада используется в основном сырьё из биологически чистого производства: вода, сахар, ячменный солод и натуральные ароматизаторы. Подобно процессу приготовления пива, технология производства бионада предусматривает натуральное брожение солода, причем в отличие от пива при брожении используются не дрожжи, а особая бактериальная культура (Gluconobacter oxydans). В результате этого солодовый сахар в процессе брожения не превращается в алкоголь, как это бывает при изготовлении пива, а вместо этого выделяется обладающая полезными для человеческого организма свойствами глюконовая кислота. Кроме того, в напиток добавляются карбонаты кальция и магния в качестве регуляторов кислотности, а также ароматизаторы на основе натуральных фруктовых или травяных добавок. В настоящее время выпускается бионад с ароматизаторами «бузина», «имбирь и апельсин», «травы», «личи» и «айва». В продажу готовый напиток поступает в стеклянных бутылках объёмом 0,33 литра, а также в пластиковых бутылках объёмом 0,5 литра.

Производство бионада было впервые запущено в 1995 году по технологии, разработанной баварским пивоваром Дитером Лайпольдом из города Остайм-фор-дер-Рён. Концентрат для изготовления напитка производится пивоварней Peter Brauerei, совладельцем которой первоначально являлась семья Лайпольд, а также (с 2010 года — на 70 %) германский продовольственный концерн Dr. Oetker. В начале 2012 года стало известно, что принадлежащая концерну Oetker пивоваренная компания Radeberger приобрела и оставшуюся 30-процентную долю Peter Brauerei, став её единственным собственником. На сегодняшний день «бионад» является защищённым брендом, а технология производства запатентована Лайпольдом и частично засекречена. Помимо Германии, бионад экспортируется в ряд европейских стран, а также в Австралию. В 2008 году было произведено около 160 миллионов бутылок напитка.

Bear on a Tear
May 10, 2011 by Marion Maneker
Sarah Douglas reports in the New York Observer that Christie's star Urs Fischer lot, the untitled yellow bear on view at the Seagram's building, was sought after by several auction houses:
The Transom hears that auctioneer Phillips de Pury had previously attempted to beat Christie's to the Mugrabis's bear with a cool $10M guarantee to sell it. They turned it down, along with an $8M offer on the bear from an unidentified private buyer. Instead, they chose Phillips competitor Christie's—despite no such guarantee
Christie's telegraphed $9 million as the number it might see for the bear when the lot was first announced. Others have mentioned numbers as high as $20 million. Turning down a $10m guarantee raises the bar for a successful sale.
Christie's Bullish on Urs Fischer's Bear (Observer)
Bearing Up at Christie's
April 3, 2011 by Marion Maneker
The Urs Fischer sculpture that will be installed at the Seagram's building is being sold by Christie's during the May sales. Reuters reports on Christie's Contemporary head Brett Gorvy's expectations for the work:
"We have seen contemporary sculpture works by Jeff Koons selling at $25 million and Urs Fischer is the leading pretender to the throne," he said. "He is considered the most important, the most provocative of contemporary artists today."
Gorvy said the U.S. collector selling the sculpture, whom he declined to name, had already turned down a private offer of $9 million.
"The anticipation is that it will make more than that," he said. "There's a very good chance it's going to go to a museum or a private institution."
Kelly Crow added some background on the other owners in the series and the sellers:
Hedge-fund manager Steven Cohen paid an undisclosed price for the blue version of this bear, and entrepreneur Adam Lindemann keeps his yellow version on the lawn outside his summer home in Montauk, N.Y. The final, yellow bear headed to auction now is being sold by real-estate investor Aby Rosen and Warhol dealer Alberto Mugrabi, who recently bought it from Christie's owner François Pinault.
To install the work, Christie's deputy chairman Brett Gorvy said the auction house had to get six city permits and pay to reinforce the plaza floor outside Mr. Rosen's Seagram Building so it could withstand the heft of the bronze bear. Around 30 workers will be needed to help assemble the bear and its innards.

Mitchell Glynn was arrested by the Shawnee County Sheriff's Office. (Photo Courtesy/Shawnee County Department of Corrections)
Deputies arrest Topeka man on numerous charges
TOPEKA (KSNT) – A man is in custody and facing charges after fleeing from law enforcement in North Topeka.
Abigail Christian, a spokeswoman for the Shawnee County Sheriff's Office, reports that deputies tried to pull a vehicle over around 10 a.m. on Jan. 24 near the intersection of Northwest Topeka Boulevard and Northwest Paramore Street for traffic violations. The driver refused to stop and fled the area. It was later learned that the vehicle might have been heading towards Douglas County.
Car pinned under semi, dragged for miles along KC interstate
At 10:21 a.m., deputies spotted the vehicle just inside Douglas County while parked at a dead end, according to Christian. The driver, identified as Mitchell Glynn, 61, of Topeka, was taken into custody. He received medical treatment at the scene and at a local hospital for self-inflicted injuries he sustained when he tried to leave his vehicle, according to Christian.
Glynn is currently being held in the Shawnee County Department of Corrections on the following charges:
Felony interference with law enforcement
Fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer
Operating a motor vehicle without a valid license
Operating a vehicle without registration
Transporting an open container of liquor.

Glynn also had four felony warrants for his arrest in Shawnee County. The SNSO was assisted by the Kansas Highway Patrol, Topeka Police Department and Douglas County Sheriff's Office.


[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Graziadio Antegnati 1565 organ in the Basilica of Santa Barbara, Mantua, survives largely intact in its original configuration. Designed for Duke Guglielmo Gonzaga and his organist-composer Girolamo Cavazzoni, it has nine ripieno stops, two flutes and a fiffaro, as well as two sets of split keys in each octave. It was also designed to fit the acoustics of the basilica, something captured well on this recording, from the arresting organo pieno used for the opening Padavano toccata to the lighter-registered canzonas by Pellegrini. Neither composer was associated with Mantua – Padavano worked mainly in Venice and Pellegrini in Milan – but their music was certainly written with instruments of this kind in mind. Padavano's four surviving toccatas (one attributed) are based largely on slow-moving harmonies decorated by quick figurations, with some imitative sections. His two ricercars are complex contrapuntal constructions. Published in 1604, all are quite serious pieces demanding concentrated listening. It works well to break them up, as here, with groups of Pellegrini's sectional canzonas published in 1599 which show a lighter idiom and some fine inspiration. Scandali uses the canzonas effectively to demonstrate the variety of registrations possible on the organ. Overall this is an excellent match of instrument and repertoire, and a convincing demonstration of this highly significant organ's possibilities.


I love all kinds of music from Mozart to The Ramones. From Beethoven to Plastikman. I love it all, can't go a day without listening to some form of music. The only thing that means as much to me is dj'ing it.
"LIFE WITHOUT MUSIC WOULD BE A MISTAKE"
One of the last truly great acid house records. This record displays how acid is the true link between house and techno. As a dj, this is the perfect record to take your sets from light to dark sounds.
Some cool tracks and a proper live mix. You can spot some very minor "train tracking" but nothing that takes away from the quality of this compilation as a whole. A good solid flow.
I really wasn't expecting a lot when I first heard this mix because I'm not that huge a fan of Luke Slater's music the past few years. But I figured I'd take a leap of faith and buy the cd.
What a great emotional record. A bit of an odd title for such a blinder but who am I to judge?! "The Horse" is good but not great, but "The Cow"!!! Some classic house, or dare I say tech-house?, business happening here!
This record in a very weird way sounds like Plastikman's "Krakpot" given the DE9 Re-edit treatment. It is very deep and driving with just the right amount of kick and sounds like a robotic swarm of bees. Pretty cool track!
"All Over (My Face)" is one of Sneak's disco cut ups that samples Loose Joint's "Is It All Over My Face". Throw in a funky trackhead groove and you got the makings of a dancefloor bomb!
Definitely one of the more intense releases of recent memory. It reminds me a lot of DBX's "I'm Losing Control" and that's one of the things I love about it. Top marks to Monsuiers Garnier & Craig.
When one measures the brilliance of this remix doublepack, sure Hardfloor's remix is going to grab centrestage (and rightfully so) but the majority of the tracks on here-save maybe the Mike Dearborn remix-are just as incredible, in their own way.
For a disco influenced house track, there is a strange hypnotic quality about "Disco Erotica" that make it quite versatile and appealing to a wide range of music lovers.
Undoubtably one of Sneak's shining moments!
Wasn't all that crazy about most of the tracks on this ep but "Theme from Blue Cucaracha" makes this ep a very worthwhile purchase. Though it was on a different mindset of the rest of the tracks, it still rocks nonetheless.
A unique mix in that you can hear some mistakes but as usual with most Kevin Saunderson mixes, the track selection is great. Combining tough tribal beats, hard as nails four to the floor techno and soulful, uplifting interludes.

Assessment centres are an important part of the job selection and recruitment process, in which candidate skills are tested through a series of psychometric tests and role playing exercises. These tests are designed to give a fairly accurate idea of how a candidate can be expected to perform in the job they are interviewing for.
Though assessment centre evaluations may sound like a daunting exercise, they are fairly easy to prepare for. By spending time learning about the tests and exercises that candidates participate in, you will be able to perform better than your competitors.
Informational sessions: In these sessions, candidates are given a brief overview of the company and the role they are interviewing for. Take notes if required as the information given during this session may come in handy in the interview.
Social sessions: Candidates are given an opportunity to meet other candidates, talk to current employees, and get a feel of the company. It is important to remember that assessment centres start their evaluation process the moment you walk in the company doors.
Aptitude tests or psychometric tests: Depending on the role, these can include numerical and verbal reasoning tests, abstract reasoning tests, situational judgement tests or other types.
Group exercise: A team of candidates involved in group discussions or strategic role playing while assessors are evaluating them and the group dynamics, based on various competency metrics.
In-tray exercises and case studies: These include exercises such as role playing or writing tasks such as creating memos, presentations, and training sessions under time pressure to measure analytical, problem solving and other skills, or competencies to work in a team.
Structured interview: a special set of questions that seeks to find examples from your professional or personal history to demonstrate certain competencies such as resilience, leadership, working with others and related competencies.
The first step of recruitment test preparation must include research about the company and the role. Read about the management, what the company does, corporate social responsibility, their Unique Selling Proposition and products. This information can be sourced from the company's website and also from online and offline resources such as trade magazines and financial newspapers.
Read about the responsibilities and especially the related competencies, skills and abilities you are required to possess in the organisation, either by reading the job description or by researching similar roles. This will help you tailor your assessment centre performance to meet these criteria.
Make a list of your strengths such as good communication skills, ability to cope with pressure, fine analytical skills or any other, and figure out how you can use them in a way that takes attention away from your weaknesses. Tie your strengths to the qualities the assessment centre is looking for by formulating answers in a way that highlights your strengths.
Practice psychometric tests online so you can be well prepared for your interview day. Take aptitude tests, reasoning tests, and interview tests. Attend online training webinars to learn more about the methodology and best practices. By practicing for one or two hours daily, you can improve your chances of performing well in assessment tests and also increase your chances of getting the job.

UC Davis Ranks First in the Nation in Veterinary Science
The University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine is ranked number one in the United States for the fifth year in a row in the annual 2019 QS World University subject rankings. The rankings, released Feb. 26, placed the school second globally in Veterinary Science.
"The continued recognition of UC Davis as a world leader in veterinary sciences is a tribute to our outstanding people and programs that advance the health of animals, people, and our planet," said the school's dean, Michael D. Lairmore.
The rankings are prepared by Quacquarelli Symonds, which is considered to be one of the most-widely referenced rankings agencies in the world. The veterinary ranking examines four indicators including academic reputation, reputation with employers, citations per paper, and productivity and impact of professors through a common metric called the h-index.
The school has shaped the field of veterinary medicine, developing dynamic veterinary treatments and making key discoveries related to animal, human and environmental health. Experts in dozens of scientific disciplines train future veterinarians and mentor leaders in veterinary practice, education, public health/food safety, research, environmental protection and biotechnology. The school operates a hospital in Davis that treats more than 50K animals a year and has operations in San Diego and Tulare California, the San Juan Islands in Washington, and in central Africa, as well as researchers working in California and across the globe.

LaAdrian Waddle is back in the game at right tackle for the Patriots.
LaAdrian Waddle back at RT.
Not a bad call on 3rd & long.
Chung is sitting on a cooler near his teammates. Out of the tent.
Doesn't appear the Chargers were all that thrown off by Bills QB switch to Nathan Peterman. They could climb into contention in AFC Mess.
After spending some time in the blue medical tent, safety Patrick Chung has re-emerged and is with his fellow defensive backs on sideline as they huddle.
Brady is going to throw for 500 yards today.
Long connection to Brandin Cooks comes out of the 3-TE grouping of Gronkowski-Bennett-Allen. Patriots throwing again out of the run-based look.
Brady is absolutely roasting Bowman.
I love the NFL. Very difficult to hide bad decisions especially regarding personnel. The fire of the NFL exposes all.
This is too easy for the Patriots.
Danny "El Zorro" Amendola catches the TD and then fires the football high into the stands. He talked this week about how he was looking forward to being in this environment.
Both Amendola and Lewis have chucked the ball into the stands after their TDs.
Tom Brady so quick in progressions. CB Sean Smith in tight coverage vs. TE Rob Gronkowski. He rolls right, scans and finds Amendola. 5-yard TD.
Too easy for the Patriots. Brady now 5-of-6 converting third downs, that one a TD to Amendola. New England up 14-0.
"Brady! Brady! Brady!" chant once again here at Estadio Azteca. He's on top of his game. Lots of pre-snap communication on display. Patience on that TD throw.
Again, Brady doesn't care about edge pressure. 3rd down put Mack inside!
Brady looks like he's genuinely torqued about something on Patriots sideline. He's 18 of 21 for 173 yards, two TDs. This is what Derek Carr (and every other young QB) hopes to be when they grow up.
Obi didn't get enough depth because he had to cover the underneath man and Luani was late. Two rookies had no chance.
Jack Del Rio is being exposed today.
Not sure if it has reflected on TV, but this has been an awesome atmosphere.
Patrick Chung has returned to the game for the Patriots.
Michael Crabtree with a drop. Like Seth Roberts and Johnny Holton before him.
Derek Carr must be livid. He's playing a fine game. WRs cannot catch anything.
That 25-yard run is Marshawn Lynch's longest of the season.
Brady playing offensive coordinator on the field on third down — would that happen in Oakland?

Let's Stop Prying Into the Personal Lives of Women Writers, Shall We?
I wrote a novel that touches on domestic violence—and perfect strangers felt entitled to ask if I was a victim.
(Image credit: Kate Lord)
By Leah Konen
To say it was the moment I'd been waiting for all my life would be a lie. Rather, it was a pivotal career turning point I'd never allowed myself to dream of in more than a decade of trying to make it as a writer. My first novel for adults, All the Broken People (opens in new tab), suddenly had multiple publishing houses vying for it, and hardest to believe of all—film and TV offers had also begun rolling in.
So like all fancy people waiting to speak to Hollywood bigwigs, I was hiding out in an emergency-exit stairwell in a loft space in SoHo, a beat-up notebook in my hand, the producer's printed-out IMDB pages littering the steps. At the ad agency where I was working, it was the only place where the Venn diagram of personal privacy and quality cell reception made sense (curse you, open-plan offices). The call was going great—my fingers might have been shaking the whole time, but I kept my voice smooth (and bonus: no one burst into my stairwell)—but then the question came: "I love how you handled the issue of abuse…is this based on real life?"
I froze. I'd been ready to talk about my training as a journalist, my five published YA novels, my interest in potentially adapting the book into a screenplay myself. I was not prepared to answer such a deeply personal question on a professional phone call. What's more, All the Broken People, which follows Lucy, a young woman who escapes a dangerous boyfriend but gets more than she bargained for when she befriends her new neighbors, isn't entirely about domestic abuse. It is one part of Lucy's story, yes, but her relationship with modern femme-fatale, Vera, who convinces Lucy to help her fake her husband's death, is more central to the novel. Shaking away my surprise, I muttered a quick "no," and the call went on.

What had felt like a shocking one-off was actually anything but. Over a couple of weeks of professional phone calls, the outright question—or, at the very least, innuendo that I'd experienced abuse—"I bet the men in your life aren't too happy about this novel!"—became a frequent refrain. It was a question that never failed to catch me off-guard. All the Broken People is fiction. Murder, blackmail, faking death. The editors and producers weren't asking me if I'd been blackmailed—or if I'd been lured into a noir plot with a couple of charming but toxic friends—so why this?
Of course, industry gatekeepers need to be able to ask necessary questions of the writers they're considering working with, especially concerning identity and whether a story is a writer's to tell. There is a problematic history in the publishing industry (opens in new tab) of white, cis, straight, and able-bodied writers appropriating the stories of marginalized people, often with far higher advances and publisher backing than the populations they're writing about ever get. That needs to be reckoned with—full stop.
There also needs to be a safe space where we can talk honestly and openly about domestic abuse, which is a serious and rampant issue that is only increasing during the pandemic (opens in new tab). When I was in the hospital at the end of last year about to deliver my daughter, I was appreciative when the nurse asked my husband to leave the room so she could ask me if I felt safe at home. These dialogues are necessary to ensure people get the resources they need.
That said, we can't forget the issue of context. A hospital is filled with people trained to handle trauma. Film producers and book editors are not. Had I experienced domestic abuse in my past, would they have expected me to open up about it off the cuff, with people I didn't even know? Is it really fair to assume that the experiences of a main character are a direct lift from the author's life? And if it is assumed, have we reduced the vast and inspired world of fiction to creatively written memoir?
Too often, first-person narration by a woman author is read as confessional.
Speaking with other women writers, I found the "is this based on real life?" assumptions and questions were common, and often outright ridiculous. Author of murder-mystery The Lost Night (opens in new tab), Andrea Bartz, and I found ourselves laughing (and a bit gobsmacked) when a mutual friend proclaimed insistently that the killer in Bartz's debut novel was based on me. Finola Austin, writer of Bronte's Mistress (opens in new tab), has been asked several times if the sex scenes in her novel are inspired by personal experience (she's writing about the Brontes!). Elle Marr (The Missing Sister (opens in new tab)) says she's often asked if she's a twin. Diane Zinna, whose novel, The All-Night Sun (opens in new tab), is loosely inspired by a trip she took 20 years ago, perhaps put it best: "Too often, first-person narration by a woman author is read as confessional."
Even if there are some nuggets of truth in fiction, the decision to open up should rest with the author. "During my first few events, it surprised me to have someone raise their hand and ask me in this crowd of strangers if I had severe postpartum depression like my main character," said Vanessa Lillie, author of Little Voices (opens in new tab). "While I'm comfortable sharing my postpartum experience, I know lots of other people wouldn't be." Asha Lemmie, whose debut, Fifty Words for Rain (opens in new tab), chronicles one woman's quest for acceptance in post-WWII Japan, said: "I am just not willing to put my trauma on display to justify why I wrote a fictional book…I didn't write a memoir for a reason."
Are male writers subject to the same inquiries? Stephen King has written extensively about domestic abuse and sexual assault in his prolific backlist—did editors ask him if he was an abuser or assaulter? It's hard to imagine—if even a handful of his writings were based on truth, he should be locked up for life.
When I set out to write Lucy's story, I wanted to take into account the nuances of the abuse she faces from her boyfriend, including emotional, mental, and financial. It is my great hope that the book sparks conversations among readers. But I also hope that writers are able to find space from their works of fiction—and be allowed to discuss their personal lives on their terms.

Demon Slayer Season 2- Release Date And Rumours
Kalpit SahuDecember 30, 20210 Comment0219
We've boarded from the Mugen Train to watch Demon Slayer season 2: Entertainment District Arc. And, depending on who you ask, this may or may not be the official start of Season 2. Yes, we've heard the complaints that the first half of Demon Slayer season 2 was basically a repeat of the first season's preamble, and internet reviewers are right.
For the uninitiated, Demon Slayer season 1 was followed by the feature-length film Mugen Train, which debuted to shockingly high box office results, earning over $503 million USD worldwide and counting.
On the following Sunday, December 5th, the Entertainment District Arc, Demon Slayer Season 2 will air a one-hour episode.
It appears that anime fans in Japan will have a wonderful winter season by viewing new episodes of Demon Slayer season 2 on Fuji TV, which is only available in Japan. Are you ready to relive the series' tremendous action and drama?
The special one-hour premiere episode
The one-hour premiere episode for Demon Slayer's Entertainment District arc included a separate set of credits. Also exclusively featured Aimer's new opening theme sequence. With the release of the second episode of the arc and the establishment of the anime's completed format. The series has also debuted its new ending theme sequence.
It's titled "Asa ga Kuru" and is also performed by Aimer. The new ending theme for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 2 can be heard below, thanks to @Ario Kamado on Twitter:

The Entertainment District arc is now in full swing for the second season's final stretch, and while the full episode count has yet to be officially revealed, reports suggest that it may not be as long as fans had hoped.
However, as the season's new opening and closing theme sequences hint, there's a lot to look forward to in this new arc. The Sound Hashira has hired Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu for a new mission: to infiltrate the titular Entertainment District. And also discover why Tengen's wives have stopped providing him updates on their investigations.
Within the den of greed and pride, there's a powerful demon waiting to be battled. And it'll be considerably more difficult to defeat than anything Tanjiro has battled on the Mugen Train. With the second season being midway through the arc, it'll only be a matter of time before all of these fights are fully realized in future episodes.
Demon Slayer Season 2: Episode II
The second season of Demon Slayer feels like it's finally getting started, with Tanjiro's group and Tengen Uzui infiltrating the Entertainment District in the second episode. It'll be a while before the action begins, but episode two nails the series' comedy beautifully.
We learn a little more about the Sound Hashira Uzui, including the fact that he has three wives, here. Zenitsu can't stand Uzui right away because of his philandering ways. The show, like the manga, makes excellent use of this to produce comedy.
Episode 9 – Season 2
Season 2 of Demon Slayer began with the "Entertainment District Arc" and will be released weekly. Meanwhile, in this article, we'll look at the release date and time for Demon Slayer Season 2 Episode 9.
On December 5th, 2021, the first episode of the new Entertainment District Arc aired. Furthermore, the first episode, which lasted an hour, placed viewers on an emotional roller coaster. While the Entertainment District Arc is still in its early stages, with more episodes on the way, we're confident that the current plot arc will push Deamon Slayer Season 2 to new heights. Fans from all across the world are already asking when Demon Slayer Season 2 Episode 9 will air.
How to watch Demon Slayer season 2: Entertainment District Arc
On Funimation, you can watch Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc, and if you've never had a membership before, you can receive your first taste for free. The service offers new subscribers a 14-day free trial, and Entertainment District Arc arrived on Sunday (Dec. 5).
The episode aired at 11:45 a.m. ET / 8:45 a.m. PT on Sunday and later episodes should air at the same time on Sundays.
As always, we recommend creating a reminder to remind you to think about canceling your regular bill, lest you mistakenly spend $7.99. Set an alarm for 12 days after you set up the account in this situation.
In the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and Brazil, Funimation is available.
How to stream Demon Slayer season 2: Entertainment District Arc with a VPN
You can still watch Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc if you're out of town and Funimation. Even if isn't available in your current location. You can see the new film no matter where you are if you use a virtual private network (VPN).
ExpressVPN is our top selection for the best VPN. It meets all VPN criteria, is simple to use, and provides fast internet speeds, making it quick and easy to set up for streaming. It also works on almost any device, including streaming devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick and Apple TV, starting with iOS and Android. In addition, game systems such as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are available.
Season 2 Draws Ire Over New NSFW Subtitles
Demon Slayer may be one of the most popular anime series currently, but that doesn't mean it's without criticism. The show, on the other hand, has been in hot water multiple times due to various complaints. Season two appears to have thrown a fresh grenade, and Demon Slayer fans were not expecting to defend their heroes from this latest lodge. After all, the show only recently dropped certain coarse subtitles, and some fans believe the change was for the best.
Demon Slayer's second episode in the Entertainment District arc drew attention to the situation this week. Tanjiro and his buddies got to know their new surroundings there, and Zenitsu almost ended up in a red light district.

A day after Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja officially announced their shaadi, wedding invites of the soon-to-be married couple have been doing the rounds on social media after they were originally shared by Spotboye first. The invites includes three separate cards for the three separate functions - mehendi, the wedding and a party - to be held over two days. The invites are clearly inspired by nature and have been designed with shades of green with three different designs of foliage printed on them. Photos of the invite, which are now viral on social media, also reveal the detailed itinerary of the two-day wedding festivities. Sonam and Aanand reportedly opted for e-invites to skip wastage of paper.
Sonam and Anand's mehendi ceremony will take place in the evening of May 7 at the Sunteck, Signature Island in Bandra. The wedding is scheduled for the next day with Rockdale (which is reported to be the bungalow of Sona's aunt) as the venue. The timing mentioned for the day wedding is 11 am to 12 pm. The wedding festivities will be wrapped with a party in the evening at The Leela in Mumbai. The Kapoors and Ahuja's have also mentioned dress codes for the separate functions and added a little note: "Your presence on our special day is the only gift we desire."
After weeks of speculation about will-they, won't they, the couple officially announced their wedding with a joint statement on Tuesday: "The Kapoor and Ahuja families, take great joy and pride, in announcing the marriage of Sonam and Anand. The wedding will take place on the 8th of May in Mumbai. Since it is an intimate affair, we request you to respect the family's need for privacy. Thank you for all your blessings and love, as we celebrate this special moment in our lives."
However, there is no mention of a separate sangeet ceremony in the wedding cards. Earlier, it was reported that Karan Johar was in charge of her sangeet while Farah Khan was to choreograph the ceremony. Last week, the paparazzi spotted Farah Khan, Karan Johar and Masaba Gupta dropping by Anil Kapoor's home on Friday night.
Sonam Kapoor and entrepreneur Anand Ahuja, who are rumoured to be dating for two years now, are frequently spotted together, both on social media and in real life. In February, Anand accompanied Sonam to her cousin Mohit Marwah's wedding in Dubai and later, was also photographed with Sonam and her family at Sridevi's funeral in Mumbai.
Apart from her wedding preparations, Sonam Kapoor is also busy with promotional duties of Veere Di Wedding, which releases on June 1. Sonam will also walk the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival on May 14 and May 15.
