As part of significant defence reforms being proposed by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, Ethiopia is considering the creation of a Cyber Security and Space Force, that if implemented, will operate under the command of the Ethiopian military.
The proposed reforms also call for the creation of an Ethiopian naval base, even though the Northeast African country has been landlocked since Eritrea became independent in 1993.
"Considering the context of modern warfare (land, air, seas, cyber and space), a defense force that can readily meet this context is in the process of being built," Prime Minister Abiy's office said in a statement emailed on 8 November 2018 to Chinese news agency Xinhua. Ethiopia's defence forces law has been revised to include a navy and "will in future also include Cyber Security and Space Force considerations," according to the statement.
These proposed reforms come as the Ethiopian government is believed to be conducting the country's first grand strategic review since 2002, to include top-to-bottom reviews of Addis Ababa' foreign policy and national security strategy.
Ethiopia's grand strategy is being reviewed, "to make it effective based on the current situation of the world and the internal Ethiopian situation," according to Ethiopian foreign ministry spokesman Meles Alem.
The decision to revive the Ethiopian navy and establish a naval base in a neighbouring country is being couched in purely strategic terms, according to Xinhua.
"It is a strategic decision that Ethiopia has to develop maritime power within its proximity," according to General Berhanu Jula, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ethiopian National Defence Force.
"With regard to the legal framework, the revisions made look at including the structure of the Navy within the Defence Force Proclamation, and will in the future include Cyber Security and Space Force considerations," the statement from Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's office says.
According to Prime Minister Ahmed, the defence review – as part of the wider review of Ethiopian grand strategy – is cognizant of developments in contemporary warfare, to include the normalization of operations in the cyberspace and space domains. Given Ethiopia's strategic position as the largest country in the Horn of Africa where continuing great power competition takes place, the decision to include cyberspace and space as Ethiopian defence considerations seems prescient though implementation will be complex and expensive.
"A Defence Force that can readily meet this context is in the process of being built… Activities are being undertaken to ensure that the defence force is capable of effectively undertaking its duties and responsibilities through the utilization of modern military equipment," Prime Minister Ahmed is quoted as saying in his statement quoted in Xinhua.
Only last week, SpaceWatch.Africa reported that Ethiopia is developing its first Earth observation satellite with financial, technical, and launch assistance from China. The satellite is expected to be operational sometime in 2019.

Take a Look at the Ten Most Populated Cities in Michigan
Chris Monroe Published: September 13, 2022
Is your city in the top ten most populated in Michigan? Find out here.
Despite having a lot of rural areas, lakes, and open land, Michigan does have some pretty big cities. It is pretty obvious to most that Detroit is the most populated in the state, but which cities fall in line after that?
After asking this question around the office, most answers came back relatively the same. When asked, most co-workers responded with Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, and Lansing as the next most populated cities in Michigan. While those three are in the top ten, their actual number may surprise you.
Let's look at Detroit first. According to worldpopulationreview.com, Detroit had a population of 624,177 in 2022, obviously making it the most populated city in Michigan. The next city in line is Grand Rapids with a 2022 population of 201,093. Once we hit the number three spot though, things may not be what you think.
The number three spot goes to a city that I never would have thought of in terms of being most populated. That city had a 2022 population of 140,453 and yes, you'll have to scroll down for the answer.
When it comes to the rest of the list of the ten most populated cities in Michigan, I wasn't surprised by most of the entries. However, I was surprised to see Westland on the list. That one surprised me mainly because I have no idea where it is and couldn't tell you what there is to do there. I've never heard anyone say "Hey, let's go to Westland tonight." Ever. Either way, it is on the list.
Check out the ten most populated cities in Michigan below.

Some of us now have computers with hard disk space in Terabytes, which implies you probably have a lot of content to store on the computer -- like movies, music, images, documents, presentations, and what not. With so much on your hard disk, to be able to track what you want quickly, installing Desktop Search on your computer only makes sense.
If you happen to use the Windows operating system, you'd be familiar with Windows Desktop Search (WDS), the operating system's indexed desktop search platform. Microsoft yesterday announced the release of an updated "preview version" of Windows Search 4.0, which is the next big thing to happen to the Windows Search platform. This first beta of Windows Search 4.0 is meant to help users find and preview any kind of text, audio, image files, etc, on the computer. Previously called Windows Desktop Search (WDS), Microsoft had initially introduced their version of Desktop Search as MSN Desktop Search, along with the MSN Toolbar suite.
The software giant claims that Windows Search 4.0 is much faster than the search tool included in Windows Vista. This was accomplished, they say, because they have been able to fix most of the bugs that were reported for it while in Vista.
Meanwhile, Windows Search 4.0 is available both as an update to Vista's built-in search engine, as well as an updated version of the XP add-on. You can download the Windows Search 4.0 (beta) application here, and find details about it here.

Prince Charles Announces a Major Project to Memorialize Holocaust Survivors
Because the British victory over the Nazis in World War II was an important moment in Queen Elizabeth's life, she has spent her reign commemorating the tumultuous era at anniversary events around the world. For the last few years, however, Prince Charles and Kate Middleton have paid special attention to the Windsor family's remembrances of the victims of the Holocaust, and on Holocaust Remembrance Day in January 2020, Kate announced that she had taken photographs of two of the last living survivors of Nazi concentration camps.
On Wednesday, Charles announced an even larger art project to commemorate the remaining survivors in collaboration with the Royal Collections Trust. Charles commissioned seven leading British artists—including Jenny Saville, Paul Benney, Ishbel Myerscough, and Clara Drummond—to paint portraits of seven survivors to serve "as a living memorial to the six million innocent men, women and children who lost their lives in the Holocaust and whose stories will never be told," according to the trust. The paintings will be unveiled on a BBC special on January 27, which is Holocaust Remembrance Day. They will also go on display in the Queen's Gallery in Buckingham Palace before becoming a part of the Royal Collection.
In a statement released by Clarence House, Charles explained his rationale for becoming involved in the project. "As the number of Holocaust survivors sadly, but inevitably, declines, my abiding hope is that this special collection will act as a further guiding light for our society," he said, "reminding us not only of history's darkest days, but of humanity's interconnectedness as we strive to create a better world for our children, grandchildren and generations as yet unborn; one where hope is victorious over despair and love triumphs over hate."
Two of the survivors included in Charles's project, Zigi Shipper and Manfred Goldberg, met Kate for the first time during her July 2017 royal tour of Poland with Prince William, which included a visit to the Stutthof concentration camp. To mark Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2021, Shipper and Goldberg attended a video engagement with Kate, where they explained the dramatic story of behind their friendship. They were separated after their initial meeting at the camp, but eventually found one another again after liberation. Another one of the survivors being painted is Arek Hersh, who joined Kate in Cumbria last September to tell the story of how he came to Lake Windermere to recuperate from the war with 300 other survivors.
In a filmed message for the BBC for 2021's Holocaust Remembrance Day special, Charles discussed the importance of keeping the memory of the dark moment in history. "The task of bearing witness falls to us," he said. "This is our time when we can, each in our own way, be the light that ensures the darkness can never return."

Wendy Red Star at the Newark Museum: A Powerful Portrait of the Crow Nation
Western museums were built on a colonial foundation. One of the ways they reflect this is by presenting objects from certain cultures — African and Native American, among others — as the ethnographic remains of long-lost societies, rather than representative of living traditions. The Newark Museum began trying to break the mold in 2016 when it reconceived its Native American galleries. Now, the institution has taken another overdue step by mounting its first solo exhibition dedicated to a Native artist: a fantastic midcareer survey for Wendy Red Star.
Containing roughly 40 artworks, "Wendy Red Star: A Scratch on the Earth" is an impressively tight and consistent show. The artist, who is a member of the Apsáalooke (Crow) Nation and grew up on its reservation in southern Montana, works in a variety of media — including photography, textiles and installation — and draws on both conceptual art and craft strategies. At the heart of her practice, however, is an abiding interest in the dichotomy of representation and self-representation. More than the conflict between the two, she seems drawn to the creativity that can be sparked in the space that separates them.
You can watch that process unfold in one of the most engrossing works in the exhibition: "Um-basax-bilua, 'Where They Make the Noise' 1904-2016" (2019), a timeline of photographs from Crow Fair, a large annual festival and gathering that features daily parades. The images — which show Crow men and women in tribal regalia and riding on horses, floats and trucks — are themselves small, but they accumulate in a roughly 130-foot-long installation that wraps around the walls of the central gallery.
The piece begins with historical photographs that Ms. Red Star found in her research. Most were not taken by tribal members, but instead depict the Crow people through a white lens, reflecting the United States government's mistreatment of Native Americans and the history of Crow Fair itself: It was dreamed up by a federal "Indian agent" in 1904 to aid with assimilation. Moving into the mid-20th century, the logos of photo agencies appear. Soon after, vehicles arrive at the festival, along with color photography. Starting in the 1980s, Ms. Red Star enters the scene, first as a child, then as a smiling teenager, and finally as an adult, snapping smartphone selfies with her daughter.
This by itself would be a powerful portrait of how the Crow Nation has maintained its traditions within an event originally meant to repress them. But what give "Um-basax-bilua" an additional layer of meaning are Ms. Red Star's annotations in pencil all along the timeline. Using handwritten notes and arrows, she points out Crow accouterments and hairstyles, explains the origins of customs and names various figures, whether a tribal chief or her aunt. The tone is both educational ("This is an elk tooth dress") and confessional ("The most awkward teenage photo … "), as if we were reading her private research notes. Ms. Red Star turns public history into a personal project, which she then returns to public view. In the process she drives home the timeless lesson that matters of government policy are also matters of people's lives.

Chelsea have been offered the opportunity to land flop Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao on a season long loan deal next term, according to the Metro.
The Colombian international has failed to live up to the hype at Old Trafford this season, bagging a meagre four goals in 29 appearances, but according to reports in the Daily Mail he could be given another chance to make an impact in England by moving to Chelsea this summer.
Falcao is linked to Jose Mourinho through agent Jorge Mendes, and talks have begun between the parties to discuss a surprise move to Stamford Bridge.
Despite picking up a league and cup double this term, the Blues are keen to add more options to their frontline with veteran star Didier Drogba likely to move on in the coming weeks.
That would leave just Diego Costa, who has endured his share of injury problems recently, to compete with Loic Remy for a starting spot in the attack.

How do you search on Blockchain
If you want to trade in digital currencies, you are going to need a platform on which to trade them, and an intermediary to communicate with the network. Coinbase is a global digital asset exchange company (GDAX), providing a venue to buy and sell digital currencies, as well as send information about those transactions out to the blockchain network to verify those transactions. Coinbase serves as a wallet, too, where the digital currencies can be stored. The application operates exchanges of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin, as well as other digital assets with fiat currencies in 32 countries, and Bitcoin transactions in many more countries. According to its website, Coinbase has served over 10 million customers and facilitated the exchange of more than $50 billion worth of digital currency.

The other 2% of customer funds, held online, are covered in the event of a breach of Coinbase's online storage. Also, Coinbase holds all customer fiat currency in custodial bank accounts, on behalf of customers. So, if you have fiat currency in Coinbase, in a USD wallet, it is covered by FDIC insurance up to $250,000 (just like a "regular" bank). This protects customer assets (so long as they have been converted to fiat currency) even in the event of Coinbase becoming insolvent.

Ledger's death affected the marketing campaign for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight (2008)[11][34] and also both the production and marketing of Terry Gilliam's film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, with both directors intending to celebrate and pay tribute to his work in these films.[34][35][146][147] Although Gilliam temporarily suspended production on the latter film,[35] he expressed determination to "salvage" it, perhaps using computer-generated imagery (CGI), and dedicated it to Ledger.[81][148][149] In February 2008, as a "memorial tribute to the man many have called one of the best actors of his generation," Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell signed on to take over Ledger's role, becoming multiple incarnations of his character, Tony, transformed in this "magical re-telling of the Faust story".[150][151][152] The three actors donated their fees for the film to Ledger's and Williams's daughter.[153]
Ledger went on to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, becoming the second person to win a posthumous Academy Award for acting (after fellow Australian actor Peter Finch, who won for 1976's Network), as well as the first comic-book movie actor to win an Oscar for their acting. Ledger's family attended the ceremony on 22 February 2009, with his parents and sister accepting the award on stage on his behalf.[163][33] Following talks with the Ledger family in Australia, the Academy determined that Ledger's daughter, Matilda Rose, would own the award. However, due to Matilda's age, she will not gain full ownership of the statuette until her eighteenth birthday in 2023.[164] Her mother, Michelle Williams, will hold the statuette in trust for Matilda until that time.[165]

On 27 September 2008, Ledger's father Kim stated that "the family has agreed to leave the US$16.3 million fortune to Matilda," adding: "There is no claim. Our family has gifted everything to Matilda."[115][116] In October 2008, Forbes estimated Ledger's annual earnings from October 2007 through October 2008 – including his posthumous share of The Dark Knight's gross income of "US$1 billion in box office revenue worldwide" – as "US$20 million".[117]

```bash
cd /var/www/stk-stats
sudo -u www-data virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv
sudo -u www-data source venv/bin/activate
sudo -u www-data venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Copy `userreport/settings_local.EXAMPLE.py` to `userreport/settings_local.py`, and
edit the settings inside that file to match your environment.

Make sure you have created a database for yourself.

Then run the following commands to complete installation:
```bash
# create your database
python manage.py migrate
# collect all the static files (JS, CSS, Images)
python manage.py collectstatic
# run dev server
python manage.py runserver_plus
```

# Manage commands

Maintenance Tasks
=================

This stat collection program does not update reports immediately after receiving
system information from users. Instead, the `maint_graphics.py` script regenerates
the report data. This script should be run regularly by a cron job, but note that
it is a very expensive task.

Common problems

1. Admin `UserReportAdmin` error `Database returned an invalid value in QuerySet.dates(). Are time zone definitions
and pytz installed?`
To fix, run: `mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root mysql -p`

New Game Plus Expo Steam Sale Discounts Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon, Shantae, And More
The New Game+ Expo is showcasing games from a bunch of publishers right now, and Steam is hosting a sale to celebrate the occasion.
By Steven Petite on June 23, 2020 at 1:05PM PDT
The New Game+ Expo is one of the many digital showcases that is serving as a replacement for the canceled E3 2020. You can tune in live right now to hear announcements from studios such as Sega, Arc System Works, Inti Creates, NIS America, and more. And if you like the studios showing off their games, you'll probably want to check out the New Game+ Expo sale on Steam.
The aforementioned Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is discounted to just $5. The 8-bit side-scroller plays much like old-school Castlevania games. Inti Creates revealed Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 during the New Game+ Expo, so it's the perfect time to catch up.
NIS America has several games on sale, including The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III for $45 and Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana for $30. It's good timing for the deal on Trails of Cold Steel III, as NIS America just announced that the localization for Trails of Cold Steel IV will release on PS4 this October (Switch and PC versions launch next year).
Spike Chunsoft's excellent visual novel Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is discounted to $8. The whole series is worth playing, but Trigger Happy Havoc is the first game and arguably the best.
WayForward hasn't shown anything off during the New Game+ Expo just yet, but the studio is mostly known for its wonderful Shantae franchise. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is down to $10, and Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate edition is on sale for $21.
You can check out the full list of games on sale during the New Game+ Expo below. It's unclear how long these deals will be available, so you should grab anything you're interested in as soon possible. Steam's huge Summer Sale is rumored to start this Thursday, but in the meantime, you can browse Fanatical's latest massive sale featuring more than 3,000 games at discounted prices.

CREATIVE — Atomic Fiber Co.
As I move along in the creative field of soft wools an color...I challenge myself to grow. Ashley Martineau of How To Spin Yarn (formerly Neaveau Fibers) suggested I build a new website. I dug my heels in, and said NO. No? What the heck. A few months later, this website happened. Growing is good. It's a way to discover.
As I craft, and fall into following my dharma; I realize we get stuck in patterns. Like how I'm stuck in shawl knitting mode. I look lustfully at socks, although being a Teva wearing girl, I don't wear them much. Even in Winter. I told myself last year was the year. That I was finally going to knit them. And then I didn't. So I decided, why stress over it. If it's something I really want to do, I will get around to it. Meanwhile, I am always making. Whether it be digging a new garden bed, or dyeing up several skeins of yarns. I'm happiest, when my hands are full of a project. This is probably why, I am not the most social person! It's about making. The excitement to see if I can pull it off. Or if I can discover a new color-like the seaglass neon green, I stumbled upon last week. So, I decided to be more organic about my goals. To not make huge lists of things I want to do. Because I think socks might just happen this year. I just need to focus...and slow down from chasing the dye rainbow.
I even started dyeing sock yarns to inspire myself! These colors, are listed with several skeins available.

Мажо́ри — загальна назва молодих людей, чиє життя та майбутнє переважно забезпечили їхні впливові або високопоставлені батьки, через що воно стало легким та безтурботним, а самі вони стали його марнотратниками. Близьке поняття — «золота молодь».

Історія
В 90-ті роки, коли бути багатим було спочатку не заборонено, потім не соромно, а пізніше взагалі престижно, з'явилися «нові українці», «нові росіяни» та «круті». Усі перечислені «нові й круті» власники легко нажитих капіталів сиділи за столиками ресторанів, пили мартіні і з презирством дивились на оточуючих. З ними були їхні діти, які носили імпортний одяг та спостерігали за батьками і добре запам'ятовували їх вчинки.

Пройшли роки і саме ці діти перетворилися на мажорів — синів і дочок багатих батьків. Вони теж сидять за столиками, п'ють мартіні та зверхньо поглядають на оточуючих.

Про мажорів
Мажори витрачають батьківські гроші, вихваляються ними при кожній нагоді, хоча самі для свого добробуту нічого не зробили.

Батьки мажорів, зазвичай — чиновники, інколи бізнесмени. Підприємці мають уявлення про те, що гроші треба заробляти й інвестувати, а чиновники просто беруть хабарі. Чим легше дістаються гроші, тим демонстративніше вони витрачаються. Мажорам не доводиться підставлятися під кримінальну відповідальність — вони просто беруть батьківські гроші.

В обідню пору мажори витрачають гроші в розкішних та дорогих ресторанах. Задовольнивши голод, вони п'ють коктейлі або курять кальян. Звичайно не мовчки, вони розмовляють, однак ліниво і не зв'язно (найчастіше про секс, алкоголь, автомобілі), жартують та сміються. Далі зазвичай — кіно, більярд, боулінг й нетерпеливе очікування забави в нічному клубі. Мажори — гламурні «клабери» (любителі клубів). В штучному напівтемному світі розкоші, бажання, кольорових вогнів, напівоголених тіл вони почуваються в своїй тарілці.

Студенти-мажори
Типовий мажор — студент юридичного, економічного, інколи медичного факультетів. Вони приходять на навчання десь до середини другої пари, приїжджаючи під ВНЗ на крутих автомобілях батьків, які видають за свої. Від інших студентів вони тримаються осторонь, але спілкування їм не бракує — мажор мажора бачить здалеку. Студента-мажора можна розпізнати за такими ознаками, як модний одяг, дорогі аксесуари. Мажори схиблені на марках, брендах, тому що це підкреслює їхній статус, їхню перевагу над іншими: « У мене вже є, а у тебе — ні !»

Мажори не дуже цікавляться навчанням. Пари — місце зустрічі, справжнє життя починається після них. Хоча дехто і на заняттях прагне виділитися. Такі розумники можуть в обличчя доводити викладачу, «якщо ти такий розумний, то чого такий бідний, а ото ж я правий — вся твоя наука просто маячня». Такий мажор не витрачає часу на книжки. Він на кожному семінарі розповість про власний погляд, наприклад, на ядерний розпад, на конфлікт племен в Африці, акцентуючи, що це його думка, а «його власна думка полягає на тому, що кожен має право на думку.»

Мажори-водії
Найнебезпечнішими вони є на дорозі — правила руху не для них, на ДАІ вони не зважають, а якщо з їхньої вини виникне ДТП, то розмова коротка: «Швидко вали звідси, а як комусь поскаржишся — позбудешся і прав і роботи!». Це мажор може запросто сказати і людині, що потребує невідкладної допомоги і подібне неодноразово траплялося як в Україні, так і в Росії. Деякі люди пропонують ввести спеціальні значки на шибки автомобілів: «Обережно! Мажор за кермом!»

Життєве кредо мажорів здебільшого складається з двох пунктів:

1) купити за гроші можна лише те, що можна купити за великі гроші,

2) кожну проблему можна вирішити телефонним дзвінком.

David Matas: Helping the Palestinians
by David Matas, posted Sept 3, 2014
How can we put an end to the deaths and injuries of innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza? Outsiders may think that there is not much to be done, that those on the battlefield will determine the result. Yet, that view is mistaken. It ignores the arena in which the battle is being fought, the arena of global public opinion.
Anti-Zionists have now held Palestinians civilians captive for generations, using Palestinians as human pawns in the anti-Zionist deadly game of ending the existence of the Jewish state. Of all the anti-Zionist factions, Hamas with its rabid, violent, antisemitic agenda, has been one of the worst. Hamas acolytes would rather die than see Jews in Israel live. Anyone who thinks that this description of Hamas is an exaggeration should read their charter, which can be found easily on the internet.
Hamas was legitimately elected in 2006 by the people of the West Bank. One has to cringe at the choice the electorate in 2006 were offered, between the corrupt and the crazy. The temptation to which the electorate in Gaza succumbed in 2006 was to throw out the bums, the corrupt then in power, Fatah, and hope the alternative was not as crazy as it sounded.
However, that turned out to be far from the case. Hamas in power had as its primary objective ending the existence the Jewish state. It used the power base it had acquired through elections to pursue that goal. Endless money and human effort, instead of improving the lot of the Palestinian people, was poured into the acquisition of missiles and the building of tunnels.
We are now seeing the second Gaza war since Hamas came to power. The first dated from late 2008 and early 2009. Both then and now, once the military build up Hamas engineered was great enough, Hamas attacked, using Palestinian civilians as shields.
Schools, mosques, residences and hospitals became missile storage silos and launching pads of choice. Hamas studiously avoided any insignia which would distinguish combatants from non-combatants. When Israel, to minimize casualties, warned civilians of an attack on a military objective, Hamas did everything within their power so that civilians would remain and suffer.
Though the extensive array of Hamas tunnels can be used as bomb shelters, civilians can not access them. The tunnels are reserved for Hamas to infiltrate Israel and commit terror and to smuggle. Concrete is in short supply for the building of housing in Gaza because the concrete is diverted to the building of tunnels.
What is the advantage Hamas anticipates from using civilians as shields, from blending into the civilian population? The answer is propaganda to demonize Israel, justifying its destruction. The aim of Hamas is not to kill and injure the civilians under its control for its own sake, but rather engineer their deaths and injuries in such a way that Hamas can generate propaganda that Israel is to blame. Hamas attacks Israel and then, when Israel responds, puts innocent Palestinian civilians in harm's way in order to blame Israel for their deaths and injuries.
That tactic worked for Hamas marvellously in the first Gaza war. The United Nations Human Rights Council appointed a commission of inquiry into Israel behaviour in the first Gaza war headed by the South African judge Richard Goldstone. That Commission report was a cut and paste job of one sided NGO criticisms of Israel, including that of Al Mezan, which operates in Gaza under the thumb of Hamas.
Goldstone belatedly rejected his own report, once he had the time himself to sift through the data. But, by then, it was too late. The damage was done, not just by framing the conventional narrative about who was to blame for what happened then, but also by giving Hamas the incentive, once it replenished its missiles and rebuilt its tunnels, to do it again.
How do we counter that Hamas effort and do something to help the Palestinians? The answer is, do not fall for the Hamas propaganda game. See and call the situation for what it really is. We should learn from the experience of Richard Goldstone and not be fooled twice.
Those who fall for the Hamas ploy and blame Israel for the Palestinian deaths and injuries join Hamas in victimizing the Palestinians. If and when Hamas sees that its attempt to blame Israel for the Palestinian civilian deaths and injuries wins no converts and instead brings blame only to Hamas, then the incentive Hamas has for victimizing the civilians under its control will disappear. That is the best hope we have, as outsiders, to stop the Hamas manufacturing of martyrs and to protect innocent Palestinians.

The threshold is being raised for the more detailed contract requirements from $5,000 to $20,000. Owner builder work under $20,000 will still need a written 'minor works' contract.
A cap on deposits for work over $20,000 will be increased from 5% to 10%. Builders will only be able to request a maximum of 10% for a deposit for all projects, regardless of the value.
Contracts over $20,000 will need a progress payment schedule (only authorised payments are allowed) and a termination clause.
The mandatory consumer building guide, to be provided to owner builders before entering a contract, is being streamlined to provide essential information on both parties' rights and responsibilities.

Owner-builders will be required to name all other owners of the land on an application for an owner-builder permit. This will be recorded on the permit to prevent people using this system to carry out commercial unlicensed building work. Any owners named cannot apply for another owner-builder permit for a different property for 5 years.
Owner-builders will be prohibited from getting a permit for a dual occupancy except in special circumstances.
Owner-builders will not be able to get statutory insurance although contractors working for the owner-builder will still need to provide certificates for work over $20,000. If the property is sold within the warranty period, the contract for sale must clearly state that there is no statutory insurance on the property.
The threshold for requiring an owner-builder permit has increased to work valued over $10,000. All owner-builders must provide evidence of having done basic work health and safety training, and for work over $20,000 they will need to do an owner-builder course.

"Memoirs of the Late George Wythe, Esquire"
Revision as of 15:31, 28 February 2014 by Gwsweeney (talk | contribs)
Stiplle engraving of Wythe's "correct likeness" by William Satchwell Leney, from the American Gleaner and Virginia Magazine, January 24, 1807.
"Memoirs of the Late George Wythe, Esquire"[1] is a tribute which appeared in the first issue of the The American Gleaner and Virginia Magazine, published by Seaton Grantland in Richmond, Virginia. The magazine debuted on Saturday, January 24, 1807, seven months after Wythe's death.
The article ends intending "To be Continued" in a subsequent issue or issues, but no copies are known to exist. It was published without a byline and the author remains unknown.

For the AMERICAN GLEANER.
OF THE LATE
GEORGE WYTHE, ESQUIRE.
[with a correct likeness.]
The fame of the disturbers and destroyers of mankind is generally sounded very loudly by poets and historians, while the names of the peaceful benefactors of their species, of those who were noted only for virtue and wisdom, are often suffered silently to sink into oblivion. But to this observation, which, unfortunately, for the honor of human nature is to true, there have been some exceptions. The glory of Socrates although not preserved by any writings of his own, has been as lasting as that of Cæsar or Alexander; and may we not hope that the modest but truly rare and extraordinary merit of GEORGE WYTHE, the Virginian Socrates, may obtain for him a niche in the temple of immortality? At any rate it is the duty of the American biographer, who reveres republican virtue, to endeavor to commemorate it as a useful example for the imitation of his countrymen. It is his duty to give the small tribute of his applause to a perfect model of integrity, and republican purity, to the man, who dedicated almost fifty years of his life, with indefatigable diligence to the service of his country.
GEORGE WYTHE, the subject of these memoirs was born in Elizabeth City in the year 1726. His father was a respectable farmer in middling circumstances, and not remarkable for the extent of his abilities or information; but his mother was a woman of uncommon knowledge and strength of mind. She was immediately acquainted with the Latin language, which she spoke fluently, and taught her son. His education in other respects was very much neglected: for he has often informed the author of these memoirs, that he was taught at school nothing more than reading and writing English, and the five first rules of Arithmetic. Such were the only instructions he received, who, nevertheless, by the dint of his own unwearied application, became afterwards one of the most learned men in America! His first appearance on the stage of life, however, promised a character by no means similar to that which he afterwards exhibited. His parents having died before he attained the of twenty one years, he launched, on commencing the world, as unthinking youths are apt to do, into a career of dissipation and intemperance, from which he did not disengage himself until he attained his thirtieth year. I have often heard him pathetically lament the loss of those nine years of his life, and of the knowledge which might have been acquired by employing them, as well as those which succeeded them in stu-

udy. But never did any man more effectually redeem his time, from the moment when he resolved on reformation. His life was devoted to the most intense application; and, without the assistance of any instructor, he taught himself Greek of which he acquired a most accurate knowledge; and read all the best authors in that as well as in the Latin language: He made himself also a profound lawyer, perfectly versed in the civil and common law, and in the statutes of Great Britain and Virginia; a skilful mathematician, and well acquainted with moral and natural philosophy. A most remarkable example of the effect of patient industry and attention, and of a complete contrast in the character of the same individual at different periods of his life! The wild and thought less youth was now converted into a sedate and prudent man, delighting entirely in literary pursuits, and walking only in the paths of wisdom. At this period he acquired that attachment to the Christian religion and reverence for its truths, which, although his faith was afterwards shaken by the difficulties suggested by sceptical writers, never altogether forsook him, and towards the close of his life was renovated and firmly established. For many years he constantly attended church, and the bible was his favourite book, as he has often informed the author. But he never connected himself with any sect of Christians, being of the opinion that every sect had more or less corrupted the purity of the system of religion taught in the scriptures, and being an utter enemy to all intolerance and pretences to exclusive holiness. He thought that all good men would be entitled to a seat in the kingdom of Heaven, and endeavored by his own upright and benevolent conduct to deserve one himself. Having obtained a licence to practice law, he took his station at the bar of the old general court with many other great men, whose merit is well known to have been the boast of Virginia. Among them he was conspicuous, not for his eloquence, or ingenuity in maintaining a bad cause, but for his sound sense and learning and rigid attachment to justice. Certain it is, however, strange as it may seem to the lawyers of the present day, that he never undertook the support of a cause which he knew to be bad, and, if he discovered his client had deceived him, returned him the fee and forsook it. This happened however, very seldom, as he was extremely particular in questioning every person who applied to employ him, and would not engage in his business unless it appeared to be just and honorable. He has even been known, where he entertained doubts, to insist on his client's making an affidavit to the truth of his statement of the circumstances of his case, and, in every instance, where it was in his power, he examined the witnesses, as to the facts intended to be proved, before he brought the suit, or agreed to defend it. If the gentlemen of the bar would always follow this rule, how much injustice and oppression would be prevented, how much troublesome and useless litigation would be avoided!
His strict obedience to the laws of his country, and his disinterested contempt of money were no less remarkable than his sacred regard to equity. On all occasions he refused to receive more than his legal fee, even where he had gained
a cause, and his client made him a voluntary offer of an extraordinary but well merited compensation.—When offers of this kind were made him, he would say that the labourer was indeed worthy of his hire, but the lawful fee was all he had a right to demand, and, as to presents, he did not want and would not accept them from any man.
This true grandeur of mind, so closely resembling that of the ancient Fabricius, Curius, and Cincinatus, he uniformly preserved to the end of his life. His manner of living was plain and abstemious; for he found the means of becoming superior to the love of wealth by limiting the number of his wants. An ardent desire to promote the happiness of his fellow-men, by supporting the cause of justice, and maintaining and establishing their rights, appears to have been his only ruling passion. How unfortunate is it for the human race that this angelic disposition is so uncommon among men, that the multitude are bent on nothing but projects of obtaining riches or honors, without any regard to the common good! How particularly deplorable, that in the United States of America, (now the last hope of republicanism) a grovelling spirit of avarice, or, at least, too great a fondness for lucre, appears generally to prevail, instead of that disinterested love of country, which warmed the bosoms of the sages and heroes of Greece and Rome, and existed in none of them with more energy than in the venerable Wythe!—The prevalence of that spirit among us, it is to be feared, is ominous of the downfall of our republican institutions, and, unless it be repressed by some change in the public mind, that cannot now be forseen, will sooner or later have that effect;—the best method of preventing which must be the establishment of a wise and general system of education.
With respect to the practice of receiving more than legal fees, which now prevails among the lawyers in Virginia, it may be indeed be said that the change in the value of money has made those fees totally inadequate to their support: but it ought to be observed that the noble profession of dealing out law and justice to the people should not be followed for the sake of gain. The fees ought now to be increased, so as to furnish a moderate and reasonable compensation for the necessary services of men of talents; but every gentleman of the bar should also be a farmer or planter, or should have some other resource, from which, and, not from those unfortunately involved in debts and disputes, a part of his support should be derived; to enable him to accomplish which, he should in his youth, be instructed in agriculture as well as law; should be taught to devote a portion of his time to literary pursuits should attend a very small number of courts as an attorney; and, above all, should, like the frugal and noble-minded Wythe, be content with a little.

Diego Costa, arguably the star of Atletico Madrid's Spanish championship win, has completed an amazing $53.5 million move to Chelsea, reports The Guardian. Costa helped Atletico Madrid win their first Spanish championship since 1996.
Despite being born-and-raised in Brazil, Costa took Spanish citizenship in 2013 and will play for his adopted homeland in this summer's World Cup.
1. He Got Through His Physical

Costa completed the move after passing a physical with Chelsea. Passing the medical so easily comes as a shock considering the injury problems he suffered towards the end of the soccer season in Spain. During Atletico Madrid's final game of the regular season where they secured the championship, Costa came off injured early on. Later, in the Champions League final, Costa only lasted a few minutes on the field before he succumbed to injury.
2. Chelsea Badly Needed a 'Killer Striker'
There had been calls from Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho to spend big money on a striker like Diego Costa. The team's forwards Demba Ba, Samuel E'to and Fernando Torres had underperformed during the 2013/14 season. During the season, Chelsea scored 30 goals less than eventual English champions Manchester City.
3. Costa Scored 27 Times Last Season
Costa would appear to be just what Chelsea and Mourinho need. During the season, Costa managed to score 27 goals in 34 league games. He also scored against his new employers in the semi-finals of the European Champions League back in April. Costa finished third in Spain's high scoring charts, behind the two best players in the world Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
4. Costa & Mourinho Have the Same Agent

The $53.5 million deal met Costa's contract buyout clause. Both Costa and his new coach, Jose Mourinho, have the same agent, Jorge Mendes, aiding simple business.
5. This Won't Be the Last Dealings That Chelsea & Atletico Madrid Have
Atletico Madrid's fans face the prospect of losing the core of their 2014 Championship team this summer. (Getty)
According to further media reports, Chelsea are also interested in Costa's former team mates, Filipe Luis and Tiago.

There should be consistency in design to make your room look subtle as well as gorgeous. You can also hire a designer for transforming this space according to its existing theme.
From installation of translucent doors to decorating the walls with wallpapers, from incorporating room-within-a-room concept to adding subtle colours, there are various ways to design your office. You need to create a space that's less noisy and more apt for doing your work hence it should have less clutter and more substance. The design of your workstation should be subtle that exude tranquillity. Using bright colours can easily distract you from doing your work hence it's advisable to select soft colours like white, gray, turquoise etc. As this room is meant for work, you should select furniture that doesn't allow you to relax much. You can keep a sofa however a bed in this room can be distracting. Desk and chairs are the most important elements of this space hence you should choose them with extreme care. It's always advisable to hire a professional to design your office. An expert can easily keep you away from all the hassles of procurement and installation. An interior decorator can perfectly design your office by incorporating the latest trends into the design. From traditional to modern decor, an interior decorator can easily create a stunning workplace for your house.
Designing a small office requires a great observation. You should try to utilize every corner of the space for attaining a bigger functional space. Storage space in a small room plays a major role. If you are designing the room from scratch, it's advisable to create space inside the walls. You should take measurements properly in case you have an already built area. You should try to create lots of free space for more breathing space. Light colours on the walls can add an illusion of a big and brighter space. You should only keep things that are important.

Minimalism is the new home decor trend for workplaces; hence you can always follow this modern style to decorate the most important spot of your house. Minimalism allows you to think freely because your thoughts need more breathing space and an area free from clutter gives you that advantage.
Considering most home owners spend many hours a day working in an office, perhaps having a home office is the most ideal choice. The most essential part of creating your own is to make sure it inspires you to work! If you are easily distracted, then having a cluttered room may not be the best idea. It is important to have a comfortable, welcoming and tidy room to work in.
A rolling cabinet can help with convenience, or splurge on a more permanent, lockable one if you have a lot of sensitive documents. Again, be sure to label and color code so that everything is easy to find.
Accessorising your office can be fun if you have some good ideas in advance. Whether you would like a large TV in the room, a floor to ceiling bookshelf to just to keep things simple with a rug and curtains, there are many options.
Eclectic style is all about taking inspiration from various places to make your workplace look more energetic and young. You can take inspiration from various places to create your own style. This type of decor is all about creating a fun place. It reflects your personality and your way of thinking. You can opt for this style if you love to experiment with colours and styles. Usually apt for small space, this design can easily make your workplace look exciting.
Taking into account the right furniture is essential. Having sofas or anything too comfortable is not an encouraging way to work either! An upright desk chair and desk are a better option. Choosing your colours and materials to match the décor of the room is also wise.
Multifunctional rooms are the way to go if you're tight on space. Other options include positioning a desk neatly in a little corner next to your living room. Hang shelves above the desk for easy access to any books or files you may need and you have a little 12-square footage area for studying or office work. Similarly, if you have an open area beneath your stairs, a desk will slot perfectly into this spot. Make sure that you include good lighting, though, as there may not be windows very nearby.
Task lighting is of utmost importance—you don't want to strain your eyes in a dark environment, so you should ensure your space is well lit at all times. A combination of a ceiling light and a desk lamp should be sufficient. Many stores stock cool home office lamps in pastel shades for as low as P299, so have some fun with this functional piece.
If possible, try to position your desk near a window. We all feel more inspired if we're able to see outside and it's good for your eyesight to take regular screen breaks, which you will naturally do if you sit next to a window. Sitting side onto a window is ideal.
The perfect lighting is a major component for your home office. Adequate and sufficient lighting is necessary for busy individuals who stare at their computers all day and do paperwork and such. You don't want to work in a dim room or one that doesn't have natural light flowing in.
From a functional desk to chairs, from workplace storage like bookcases, wall shelves, sideboards, sofa tables to bins and bags, from paper and media organizers to right lighting, your workplace furniture should have the capability to mix business with pleasure with feline ease. Furniture plays a major role in creating an ideal space for work hence you should always choose them wisely. Consult an interior designer for installation and procurement to reduce the cost. You can easily procure the furnishings for your workplace under a budget if you have the guidance of a skilled designer.
Storage should be the top priority in all home office designs. With so many papers, books and supplies to store, be sure to accommodate it all with shelves, drawers and cabinets. There's nothing more distracting than piles of paper, which is no good in an environment where you want to be productive.
In order to provide a work space which is conducive to working, it is worth keeping in mind a few different options. For example, having lamps which create a natural light and a well lit space is important in terms of wanting to spend time in your office and not straining your eyes!
When looking for desks, choose wisely. Can you incorporate storage and a desk into one unit? Consider its overall function; it's important to select a sturdy desk that can contain all your work documents in one place. Many have drawers at the sides, which are perfect for tidying away bits and bobs and papers, while keeping them close to hand. But of course, having drawers on either side does impact on the amount of legroom you have under the desk so you may prefer a more open design.
A clutter-free workstation, lights that put no pressure on your eyes, walls that look fresh and inviting, equipment like laptops, printer and a functional desk are some of the main elements of a perfect workplace. In order to create a space that exudes freshness and calmness, you should keep all those things that motivate you in your place of work. You can keep magazines and books to read while you are not working, you can also hang photos that inspire you; you can beautify the room according to your own choice. A perfect home office reflects the passion of the homeowner. You can also install a TV or music system for recreation. Having an ideal workstation in your house is a great thing to make your job a lot easier and relaxing. There are numerous workstation ideas available online however it's advisable to choose them wisely for preventing hassles in future. Research plays a major role hence you should spend time making a complete design plan to attain maximum results. Uniqueness is the key to a great design hence incorporate things that inspires you while creating your own space.
Working from home office gives you the freedom to relax, work and do whatever you want. You can work at night while sleep at day time, you have the liberty to do your work without interference. Creating a silent corner with the requisite amenities can easily increase your productivity. You can do your work perfectly by creating a place without distraction. It's advisable to understand the space properly before creating an office. You should have a design plan before hiring an interior decorator. There are numerous design ideas online that can be incorporated in your room. You can also create a unique workplace by combining various ideas together.
When looking for home office decorating ideas, always think in terms of inspiration; your work area should be functional but also reflective of the things that motivate you. While home offices are conventionally formal spaces, you can definitely branch out with your decor. Paint the room colors that energize you or paint patterns or stripes on the wall for variation. Globes, maps and clocks are always go-to pieces, as are table lamps and vases.
One of the most important options to consider when designing the perfect home office for you is the furniture. Having the right table and chair is essential as this is where you will spend most of your time! There are many different styles of desks, depending on whether you need a large work space or just a place to rest a laptop; you can find hundreds of options. This is also true of a desk chair; many homeowners enjoy having a proper swivel chair as it encourages the worker to sit up straight but also in comfort! Putting in some research before you invest in these options is the best idea!
If you don't have a separate room to accommodate your home office, don't worry. Compact furniture and careful planning will help you incorporate a fully functioning workspace into the smallest of rooms, the corner of a living room or even a little nook under the stairs. Look into these awesome storage tips and designing ideas to create the ideal home office for you.

Bulletin boards, chalk boards or whiteboards are also great home office ideas; they're perfect for reminders and can also be used to hold pictures or artwork.
Furniture is a good place to start when designing your home office. If you're going to be sat at a desk for hours at a time, it's important to invest in an ergonomically designed chair that is fully adjustable so that you can find a position that is comfortable for you. Ideally, the top of your screen should be in line with your eyes so you are not straining your neck by looking up, and your arms should rest comfortably on the desk at a right angle so that your shoulders aren't raised awkwardly.
Home office organization is key, especially with all the bills, mail and statements you receive and keep throughout the year. The best way to store your papers is by investing in a filing cabinet. Otherwise, you should be able to make do with some storage boxes or files. Just remember to keep everything neatly organized in ring-binders and label your folders so no time is wasted by looking for things.
If you don't have a dedicated room for your home office, think creatively about how to re-jig your layout. Your study area could also be a guest bedroom and library all in one if you are smart with your furniture. For example, you could have a compact desk, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, plus a sofa bed. When guests come to stay, all you have to do is unfold the bed and you've just converted your home office into a bedroom.
If you have a beautiful view from your home, then having your desk look out through a window is a great idea. This can bring in more natural light. However, if the scene outside is a busy one, then this option may not work for those who are easily distracted!

You will often find that the colour of a room can significantly change the mood. Make sure you like the colour of yours and that it is not too distracting for when you need to begin work! Usually green is one of the best choices as it is supposed to stop your vision from becoming tired. Having a decorative room may also help to create a fresh and focused space. If you want a warm atmosphere, then choosing oranges and reds may also work, as well as wooden options.
More options, which open up any space, include simple tricks such buying mirrors for your room and not cluttering up the space with too many accessories.
An eclectic style for your home office is a great way to bring many different personal touches to a room without having to adhere to a certain style. The eclectic look is more about having different pieces that are brought together with colours that you like and pieces which make a fun space. This style is often the best option for families as it is less easily ruined than a modern white sofa! Having mismatching furniture and quirky lamps and lighting is great for this style too. If you have a large gaming computer which needs a huge desk, or intend on storing many textbooks, you can find many different options on homify to help inspire you! You can really be creative with the look, which many homeowners enjoy.
Choosing one theme for your home office can sometimes be a difficult choice. The best idea is to base your home office on the rest of your home. Do you have one theme running through your home, or do you have a different style for every room? There are many different options which you can choose from, whether this is a wall of books or an impressive desk in the centre of the room. If you invest enough time into choosing your furniture then you don't necessarily have to blow your decorating budget on one room!
