Mortgages: Interest Rates
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent steps he has taken to enable mortgage customers who were trapped when their mortgages were sold to vulture funds to take advantage of lower interest rates; and if he will launch an inquiry.
Kevin Brennan

The Treasury recognises that mortgage prisoners can be in a difficult and sometimes stressful situation. However, the servicer of these mortgages must be regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This means that customers are protected by the FCA's principle of Treating Customers Fairly; their Mortgage Conduct of Business rules; and customers have recourse to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

The Treasury has also worked closely with the FCA to consider how to remove the regulatory barriers that might prevent some customers from accessing better deals.

The FCA are now consulting on changes that will move the required affordability assessment from an absolute test to a relative one. This will enable lenders to more easily accept switching consumers, providing they are up-to-date with repayments and are not borrowing more.

The FCA consultation closes on 26 June 2019.

Telephone Services: Fees and Charges
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what recent steps he has taken to protect vulnerable customers from exploitation by premium rate text services.

In the UK, the Phone-paid Services Authority (PSA) regulates Premium Rate Services (PRS), which include premium rate text services. Providers of PRS must comply with the PSA Code of Practice which is approved by Ofcom, which includes specific protections for vulnerable consumers.

The PSA has the power to take robust enforcement action against companies that breach their Code. In serious cases, the PSA Code Adjudication Tribunal may impose sanctions which can include ordering refunds to be paid to affected consumers, prohibition of the provider from providing services and fines of up to £250,000 for each breach of the Code.

The PSA has recently consulted on draft proposals to strengthen the regulation of phone-paid services offered on a subscription basis. The PSA considered risks to consumers as part of the consultation including the specific risk of harm to vulnerable consumers. The consultation closed in May and the PSA will publish its response later this year.

Employment: Learning Disability
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that people with learning disabilities are given (a) adequate support and (b) opportunities to hold down meaningful employment.

Improving employment opportunities for people with a learning disability is a Government priority. We take a life course approach and are working with other Departments to tackle barriers to employment that start early in life. For example, we work with Department for Education on implementing the Maynard Task Force recommendations which help people with learning disabilities to access Apprenticeships. DWP is also testing ways to improve our support to this group, through initiatives like the Local Supported Employment proof of concept, which seeks to build our evidence base on how we can best help users of adult social care (many of whom have learning disabilities) to be able to work.

Through Disability Confident, we are encouraging employers to offer more opportunities to disabled people, including people with a learning disability. Nearly 12,000 employers are signed up to the scheme and we recently announced our commitment to increase this number to 20,000 over the year.

Access to Work supports disabled people, including those with learning disabilities, who are in work or participating on Traineeships, apprenticeships or supported internships. Last year, record numbers of people with learning disabilities received support from Access to Work, with figures up 22% on 16/17.

The Government is working with the Supported Business Alliance (SBA) and The British Association for Supported Employment (BASE) to:

help them develop a new quality mark for supported businesses and

to develop a new long term element of Access to Work to continue support for those already working for a supported business, and help more disabled people to join them.

This will help those with the most severe barriers to work, including people with learning disabilities.

We are investing £40m in a new Intensive Personalised Employment Support programme, which rolls out in late 2019 and is expected to benefit 10,000 people. It will provide highly personalised packages of employment support for disabled people, including those with a learning disability, who are at least a year away from moving into work.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department is taking to support employers in creating equal opportunities for people with learning disabilities in the workplace.
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what recent discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the publication of the Government's soft power strategy.

I have regular discussions with Cabinet colleagues on a range of issues including the soft power strategy. We have been consulting widely across our sectors to ensure the strategy reflects the breadth of our soft power assets.

Museums and Galleries: Marketing
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what support he will provide to museums to help promote UK soft power internationally after the UK leaves the EU.

We will continue to support the work of UK museums and their international counterparts in promoting the free exchange of ideas, knowledge and an understanding of the world around us. It is important that we continue to support the museums, whilst also enhancing their ability to undertake further international trade and build related partnerships through their collections and commercial endeavours. The Government continues to be committed to providing free entry to the permanent collections of the national museums, ensuring that they can be enjoyed by visitors from at home and around the world.

Yemen: Politics and Government
What recent discussions he has had with international agencies on the security situation in Yemen.

The security situation in Yemen is of great concern. Working with partners and agencies, we are monitoring developments and doing all we can to end the conflict. The UK has played a leading role in diplomatic efforts and will continue to do so. My Right Honourable Friend the Foreign Secretary visited Yemen in March. He also hosted a ministerial Quad meeting last month to discuss implementation of the Hodeidah agreement and next steps in the political process. I welcome reports over the weekend that the Houthis have begun their withdrawal from Hodeidah. I look forward to receiving independent verification from the UN and hearing the assessment of the UN Special Envoy during his briefing to the Security Council.

PledgeMusic: Insolvency
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps he has taken to protect musicians and consumers after the announcement that Pledge Music has been put into administration.

The Government takes the protection of consumers very seriously. It also supports the UK music industry and fair remuneration for artists. In the event that a company is unable to meet its contractual obligation when they fall into administration, consumers who paid for goods using their credit card are protected under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (CCA) and should contact their card issuing company. In some circumstances, debit card payments can be refunded through the Chargeback scheme and consumers should seek further information from their bank.

The Insolvency Agency, an executive agency of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, acts as an impartial source of information for the public and HMG on insolvency and redundancy matters.

Families: Northern Ireland
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment she has made of the number of households in Northern Ireland which have someone aged 75 or over living in them.

At the time of the 2011 Census, there were 108,058 usual residents aged 75 and over living in households in Northern Ireland.

The number of households which had a usual resident aged 75 and over was 90,245 out of a total of 703,275 households in Northern Ireland.

Migrant Workers: Nurses
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the salary exemption for nurses under Tier 2 visa rules will apply to EEA citizens after the UK leaves the EU.

We have been clear that we want all EU nationals, including those working in the NHS and the care sector, to stay in the UK after we leave the EU.

In their report, EEA migration in the UK, the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) recommended maintaining the existing system of salary thresholds.

The Government has been clear that we will undertake an extensive programme of engagement with a wide range of stakeholders across the UK, including with the private, public and voluntary sector and local government, as well as industry representatives and individual businesses before taking a final decision on the level of salary thresholds.

Our Heritage Saved… Vedette – St James Bastion, by Victor Rizzo
The Malta Independent, 9th July 2008
This late 16th century Vedette, or Gardiola, on St James Bastion, Valletta is one of a number of watch posts constructed by the Order of St John at strategic points along the bastions.
As their name suggests, the vedettes were used as look-outs for the early warning of any attacking fleet approaching the Maltese islands. Din l-Art Helwa, a long-standing watch dog for the conservation and preservation of heritage sites and the environment, has aptly adopted the gardiola as its logo.
Located in front of the Central Bank of Malta and St James Cavalier it overlooks another vedette on another bastion over St James Ditch. Whilst the latter vedette is hexagonal in shape, the former is a dome over a cylindrical drum, nine courses high, separated by a cornice. Yet another cornice separates the drum from the base constructed over larger stone slabs forming part of the bastion wall. A flight of four steps lead to the proper floor at the lower cornice. Viewed from below the bastions, the lower cornice is seen as the base of the vedette.
This watchpost commands sweeping views of the Grand Harbour, the Three Cities, and down towards Floriana. Manoel Island can also be seen on the other side of the peninsula. It is located on part of the Valletta defenses known as St James Counterguard. These were not part of Laparelli's plans for the defense of Valletta but were added in the eighteenth century as part of the fortifications.
When Din l-Art Helwa took over the restoration of the vedette in 1994, a condition survey showed serious cracks in the structure from the dome to the foundations within the bastion walls. Large areas of stonework were so badly damaged that they needed replacement. Past rendering with cement on some parts of the external walls caused the structure to deteriorate significantly especially at the side more exposed to the elements.
It seemed pointless to restore only the vedette when its foundations were also in a critical danger of collapse.
Work commenced in March 1995 and had to be carried out in three phases. Stones forming part of the vedette were dismantled and numbered. The supporting bastion walls had to be repaired. The final phase involved rebuilding the watch post using the original stone and substituting the severely damaged stones with similar material.
The entrance to the vedette was closed by an iron door to keep away vandals. The work was entirely sponsored by the Central Bank of Malta.
Din l-Art Helwa welcomes and acclaims the recent announcement by the Ministry for Resources and Rural Affairs of a seven year programme for the restoration of a major chunk of the bastions around the Maltese Islands with funds from the European Union. This will be a major step forward for the further preservation of our prime historic locations.

Iran Tourism in Shushtar city
February 21, 2019 persiap2 No comments exist
Posted by persiap2 on February 21, 2019 April 17, 2019
Watermills-Shushtar
Iran Tourism, The historical complex of mills and Waterfalls of Shushtar belongs to the Sassanid era and is still healthy after 1500 years. The water structures of Shushtar have been built to exploit the waterpower for mills.
This complex consists of different parts such as mills, waterfalls, canals, aqueducts, and "Sika"- a recreational place. A famous French archeologist has mentioned this area as "the biggest industrial complex before the industrial Revolution" in her itinerary.
Stone Figures of Kul Farah-Izeh
Kul Farah is a valley 7 kilometers northeast of Izeh embracing six Elamite relief figures and some remains of Elamite people in ancient times such as graves, water canals, buildings, and lookout towers on the mounts.
According to the stone inscriptions, this place has been the temple of Narsina, an Elamite god. "Kul" means "valley" and "Farah" means "happiness". It is because in contrary to other unpleasant narrow gorge in the region, it is a pleasant one.
Tang-e Chowgan
The ancient Valley of Chowgan is 23 kilometers to Kazerun beside the ruins of the historical city of Bishapur and the Shapur River. It is a unique complex of Sassanid remains and carvings. This valley embraces a giant statue of Shapur l with a height of 6 meters in Shapur Cave 800 meters higher than the riverbed in addition to six relief figures of Shapur l, Bahram l and Bahram ll.
Entering the valley from Bishapur, there are four relief figures on the north and left, and two others on the south and right. The first one depicts the celebration of Shapur l victory over Valerians. Shapur called Iran "the sun of the world" and the only superpower of the world" in the presence of valerian and his commanders and orders to cut the figures of this victory on different mounts. Shapur l is depicted in the center of the figure on a horse.
Tribes and Clans of Iran
Iran is a country populated by different tribes each diving into different tribes each diving into different groups:
Turkmens: Turkmens are Turk tribes living in Turkmen Sahra region in the eastern plains of Mazandaran and Northern Khorasan provinces neighboring the Turkmenistan Republic borders.
Kurds: these people speak in Kurdish. Kurd are among the oldest Iranian tribes. They live all over the country; they live all over the country; however, most of them live in Kurdistan, Ilam, Kermanshah, and Luristan Provinces.
Baluches: Baluch people live in less populated vast deserts in the far southeastern Iran and remote regions on the western Pakistan.
Baluch, literally meaning "wandering", are among rare Iranian tribes that retained their semi-nomadic life style. They are skillful horsemen and hold famous camel riding races.
Bakhtiyaries: Bakhtiyari is the name of a big Lur tribe of Iran, known as Lur-e Bozorg, who live in Middle Zagrus. The remote regions of Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiyari, and Khuzestan are the residencies of most Bakhtiyaries; however, many of them have settled in villages and cities. Another tribe with independent identity is Kamari Arab. They are Arabs living near Bakhtiyaries and using similar customs and dialects.
Qashqaees: Qashqaee is another big tribe of Iran (Bakhtiyari is the other one). Most of them live in Fars Province. Some of them still travel between summer and winter homes during the years. Qashqaees are Turk people and follow Shia religion. They are very interesting in their rituals and traditions. Their language is a mixture of Qashqaee Turkish are quite familiar with Persians and speak it fluently.
Them still travel between summer and winter homes during the year. Qashqaee are Turk people and follow Shia religion. They are very interested in their rituals and traditions. Their language is a mixture of Qashqaee Turkish and Persian.
Lurs: Lurs come from Aryan race mingled with Kashi or Kasit tribes. In the course of time, some groups of Arabs and Turk have mixed with them; however, they have retained their identity. They from two percents of Iran population and live mostly in Luristan and Kermanshah, and to some extent in Hamedan provinces.
Persians: more than 65 percent of Iran population is from Persian race. They are descendants of Elamite or Aryan races.
Arabs: nearly 4 percent (2.5 millions) of Iran population are Arabs. Most of them live in Khuzestan Province and in the islands of Persian Gulf.
Azeries: Azerbaijan is a region in northwest of Iran including provinces of West Azerbaijan, east Azerbaijan, and Ardebil. This region is the main residency of Iranian Azeries. Azeri turks from 25 percent of the population.
A beach trip in south by the Persian Gulf and or in the north by the Caspian Sea could be another choice. But among all major tourist attractions, they are eager to have a deep journey in the pure and rich history and culture of Iran.


Microsoft Killing MS Points? Please Be True.
This is far from the first time this rumour has popped up. We heard last year that Microsoft was planning this, but as the reveal of a new Xbox console - and a new Windows update - draws closer, we're hearing it again. This time a little more convincingly.
The Verge reports that Microsoft will soon be killing off the points scheme in favour of a universal "gift card" that could be used across all of the company's platforms and be purchased in real-world currency.
It's also shared images of what it says are the cards in question, which clearly show an Xbox controller on the front, as well as space for actual dollar amounts.
Please be true. Of all the things we've had to adjust to this console generation, having to constantly convert points into dollars - and being stuck with leftover points in your account after a purchase - have been about the stupidest.
We've contacted Microsoft for comment, and will update if we hear back.

Borrowers have plenty of options when it comes to the type of mortgage they can take out to finance a home purchase. Among them all, home loans backed by the U.S. Federal Housing Administration (FHA) are often quite popular since their requirements tend to be less stringent compared to conventional mortgages.
But before you take out an FHA loan, it's important to get acquainted with them first. Here are a few things you should know about FHA mortgages before applying for one.
FHA loans are not just for first-time homebuyers or people who can't come up with a 20% down payment. They're available for anyone who wants to take advantage of them. Even those who have bought and sold many times in the past or make a decent income may be eligible for an FHA-backed home loan, as long as they meet the requirements needed to get approved for this type of mortgage.
FHA home loans are simply mortgages that are guaranteed and insured by the U.S. Federal Housing Administration. Such insurance gives lenders the assurance that the loans they provide will be paid back if borrowers default on them.
While conventional loans require a minimum down payment of 5% of the purchase price, FHA loans require at least 3.5% in most cases. The option to pay a smaller down payment makes FHA loans very attractive to many borrowers who may otherwise struggle to come up with a sizeable lump sum.
That said, there may be some cases where a slightly higher down payment amount may be required based on credit history and the type of home being purchased.
Not all mortgage lenders are able to provide FHA-backed mortgages. The FHA doesn't actually lend money, but only insures the loans. Lenders are the ones loaning out funds to borrowers, so they must be FHA-approved before they are able to offer these types of mortgages.
If you're interested in an FHA loan to finance a home purchase, it's important to seek out lenders who are approved to provide loans insured by this federal entity.
The home should be absent of any physical conditions and flaws that could compromise the structure.
This list is by no means exhaustive. There are plenty of things that can deem a home ineligible for FHA loan approval. Essentially, if a home is not considered to be safe, secure, or structurally sound, it will likely not be FHA-approved.
Borrowers who put less than 20% down on a conventional mortgage have to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI) premiums. This insurance is meant to protect lenders in case borrowers default on their mortgage payments.
With FHA-backed loans, there are two mortgage insurance premiums that have to be paid. The first premium is paid when the loan is taken out, and costs 1.75% of the loan amount, no matter how much of a down payment is made.
The second premium is paid on a monthly basis. The amount paid depends on the loan amount, length of the mortgage, and the borrower's loan-to-value ratio (LTV). Generally speaking, the MIP costs anywhere between 0.45% to 0.85% of the base loan amount.
One of the most attractive features of FHA loans is that they do not require stellar credit to be approved for. Borrowers with a score of 580 and higher can be approved with just 3.5% down.
According to credit reporting bureau Experian, about 30% of Americans have a credit score under 601, which is considered the threshold between fair and bad credit. For these people, securing a conventional mortgage would prove to be very difficult, if not impossible.
FHA loans have lower credit requirements compared to traditional loan types. Even those with a score of 500 may even be approved for an FHA home loan, albeit with a higher down payment amount (typically 10%).
Having said that, applying with a higher credit score will increase the odds of loan approval, which is why it's recommended that borrowers take steps to improve their scores before they apply for a mortgage, regardless of type.
Closing costs often need to be paid upfront by buyers when a real estate deal closes. These are additional costs that buyers need to budget for when purchasing a home. However, they may not always have to worry about paying closing costs up front with an FHA loan.
Oftentimes a large proportion of closing costs are covered by sellers, lenders, and builders. Even if closing costs are not covered, buyers can still take advantage of having them rolled into their mortgages so they don't have to come up with the funds in one lump sum. Borrowers should note, however, that lenders who cover part of the closing costs may charge a higher interest rate in exchange.
FHA loan limits have recently changed and now range from $294,515 in areas with lower-priced homes to $679,650 in higher-cost areas.
FHA loans certainly offer a number of advantages to borrowers, especially those with a less-than-perfect credit score who aren't able to come up with the minimum down payment amount required for conventional loans.
But as with any other type of mortgage, it's recommended that you do your homework and understand why home loan types are out there to see which one is best suited for you. Consult with your mortgage specialist to determine whether or not an FHA loan is the right option for your financial situation.

US-backed Syrian force: ISIS in 'its final moments'
File photo of fighters of Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) deployed in Deir al-Zor, Syria. (Reuters)
Reuters, Qamishli, Syria/Beirut Sunday, 13 January 2019
ISIS extremist group's militants are "living their final moments" in the last enclave they hold near the Iraqi border, where US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are attacking them, an SDF official said on Sunday.
A defeat of the extremists in the enclave would wipe out ISIS territorial foothold on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River.
A spokesman for the US-led coalition said the SDF were making "great progress ... but the fight continues".
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a coalition of militias led by the Kurdish YPG, have driven ISIS from a swathe of northern and eastern Syria with the help of the US-led coalition over the last four years.
Mustafa Bali, SDF media office head, said the SDF had stepped up attacks in the last two days and taken control of the area between ISIS enclave and the Iraqi border, cutting an escape route.
"They are living the final moments and realize that this battle is the battle to eliminate them," he added.
US President Donald Trump last month announced he would withdraw US forces from Syria, declaring they had succeeded in their mission to defeat ISIS and were no longer needed.
Since then, US officials have given mixed messages. On Friday, the US-led coalition said it had started the pullout, but officials later said only equipment, not troops, were going.
Colonel Sean Ryan, the coalition spokesman, said: "The SDF is making great progress and continues to liberate more territory once held by ISIS, but the fight continues.
"The lasting defeat of ISIS is still the mission and they still present a very real threat to the long-term stability in this region, so it is not over yet."
ALSO READ: Talks between US-Turkish militaries to continue next week, says Bolton
The US decision has injected new uncertainty into the eight-year-old Syrian war and spurred a flurry of contacts over how the security vacuum will be filled in the swathe of northern and eastern Syria where the US forces are now stationed.
While Turkey aims to pursue the Kurdish forces allied with the United States, the Russia- and Iran-backed Syrian government sees a chance to recover extensive territory.
US national security adviser John Bolton suggested last week that protection for Washington's Kurdish allies would be a precondition of the US withdrawal. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called his comments "a serious mistake".
Bali said the people of northern Syria and the coalition must discuss a plan for "after the elimination of Daesh (ISIS), and to take measures to prevent Daesh reorganizing itself and returning once again".
ISIS still holds territory on the western bank of the Euphrates, between areas controlled by the Syrian government and its Russian and Iranian-backed allies.

Home/Sheriff's Department: Hospitalized San Diego County inmate died of COVID-19
Sheriff's Department: Hospitalized San Diego County inmate died of COVID-19
United News Team November 10, 2021
A 58-year-old Oceanside man who died Monday, three weeks after being sent from a county jail to a hospital, died from complications of COVID-19, sheriff's officials said Tuesday, citing preliminary autopsy results.
The death of Richard Frederick Eshbach — who was sent to the hospital Oct. 19 from the George F. Bailey Detention Facility in Otay Mesa — is at least the third among county jail inmates that the San Diego County Sheriff's Department has attributed to COVID-19.
In November, 62-year-old Edel Corrales Loredo died after becoming ill with the disease at George Bailey. Louis Ahyule Gomez, 43, died in March at the Vista Detention Facility of COVID-19-related pneumonia.
The family of another man has sued the Sheriff's Department, claiming he contracted the disease in June 2020 at the Vista Detention Facility and later died at a hospital. The Sheriff's Department does not count Mark Armendo's death in its tally of COVID-19 fatalities.
Eshbach's autopsy was conducted Tuesday and his manner of death ruled natural, sheriff's Lt. Thomas Seiver said. The autopsy listed cirrhosis of the liver and pulmonary emphysema as "associated factors" in his death.
It was not immediately clear Tuesday where and when Eshbach contracted COVID-19. Seiver said in a Monday news release that Eshbach was hospitalized Oct. 19 for unspecific "medical reasons." His condition deteriorated over the next three weeks and he died Monday afternoon.
In an email to the Union-Tribune late last month, sheriff's spokesperson Lt. Amber Baggs stated that one inmate from George Bailey — presumably Eshbach — was hospitalized for other health reasons before subsequently testing positive for COVID-19.
Neither Baggs nor Seiver responded to an email Tuesday night seeking clarification about the timeline of Eshbach's hospitalization and positive COVID-19 test.
Eschbach had been in sheriff's custody since his arrest by Oceanside police Sept. 17 on suspicion of stalking, violation of a domestic violence court order and violation of a court order.
Eschbach is at least the 13th county jail inmate to die this year while in custody. Since 2009, more than 160 people have died in local jails, which are run by the Sheriff's Department.
According to a six-month investigation published by the Union-Tribune in 2019, the Sheriff's Department's jail system had the highest mortality rate among California's six largest counties, averaging more than one death every month for more than a decade.
Last week, county District Attorney Summer Stephan announced an involuntary manslaughter charge against a nurse in connection with the 2019 in-custody death of 24-year-old Elisa Serna at the Las Colinas women's jail.

ГЕС-ГАЕС Ікехара (池原発電所) – гідро електростанція в Японії на острові Хонсю. Знаходячись перед ГЕС Нанайро, становить верхній ступінь в каскаді на річці Кітаяма, лівій притоці Кумано (впадає до Тихого океану за два десятка кілометрів від південної околиці міста Кумано).

В межах проекту річку перекрили бетонною арковою греблею висотою 111 метрів та довжиною 460 метра, яка потребувала 647 тис м3 матеріалу. Вона утримує резервуар з площею поверхні 8,43 км2 та об'ємом 338,4 млн м3 (корисний об'єм 220,1 млн м3), в якому припустиме коливання рівня між позначками 283 та 318 метрів НРМ.

Для виконання функції гідроакумуляції як нижній резервуар використовують водосховище ГЕС Нанайро, створене за допомогою бетонної аркової греблі висотою 60 метрів та довжиною 201 метр, котра потребувала 157 тис м3 матеріалу. Вона утворила водосховище з площею поверхні 3,3 км2 і об'ємом 61,3 млн м3 (корисний об'єм 10,7 млн м3), в якому припустиме коливання рівня між позначками 186,5 та 190 метрів НРМ.

Завдяки звивистій течії річка через п'ять кілометрів після греблі проходить на відстані всього кількох сотень метрів від сховища. В цьому місці спорудили машинний зал, ресурс до якого подається через чотири водоводи довжиною по 146 метрів, два з яких мають спадаючий діаметр від 4,5 до 3,6 метра, а ще два – від 5,4 до 4,3 метра.

Основне обладнання станції становлять чотири оборотні турбіни типу Френсіс – дві потужністю по 72 МВт та дві з показником по 103 МВт, які використовують напір у 121 метр.

Із нижнім резервуаром з'єднання забезпечується завдяки каналу довжиною 0,3 км з шириною по дну 18 метрів.

Community Broadcaster: Of Service
Community media plays a valuable role in democracy
Ernesto Aguilar ⋅ Feb 15, 2019
The author is membership program director of the National Federation of Community Broadcasters. NFCB commentaries are featured regularly at www.radioworld.com.
It was recently announced that the Arkansas Educational Television Network launched a new service that will stream state legislative meetings and related state government gatherings. According to Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, "This [service] will give [the public] increased access to significant committee meetings, to commission meetings. I love the fact that some of our independent agencies will be under consideration for live-stream."
This initiative is a wonderful example of how public media serves the needs of communities. Especially for young people, senior citizens and those who can't otherwise get access to the municipal maze, broadcast of local government business is a great way to engage citizens and for lawmakers to demonstrate their commitment to voter involvement.
[Read: Community Broadcaster: Learning Together]
It is critical to note the latest effort in Arkansas is not unusual. So-called public, education and government (AKA PEG) media outlets have quietly provided such services for years. In big cities and small towns, community radio stations have aired hearings, meetings and city and state affairs for residents to tune in to in order to witness their representatives in action. No matter where you fall politically, we can all agree broadcast of these affairs in a net positive for a community and for democracy. Such programming is education at its best. For a young person to see how her or his city works is instructive. That child watching city council now could be your future mayor, after all.
Looming changes are prompting fears this kind of service could come to an end.
For many community media organizations, cable television franchise fees provide needed support. These fees are, in many ways, an extension of a broader practical understanding: that the airwaves belong to the public and, while we honor the free market, there should be educational programming and commitment from cable providers for core public services. Although such matters have been seemingly resolved for years, cable companies have often complained of the cost. Beyond the dollar amounts, some providers allege some communities expect a variety of other resources that end up costing the companies far more than franchise fees were supposed to be limited to.
In calling for reforms, the pro-industry Heartland Institute writes, "Local franchise authorities are of course free to request or demand 'in kind' services such as television service for municipal buildings or Wi-Fi hotspots in a public park, but the value of those contributions must count against the five percent cable television franchise fee cap. If not, the cap becomes completely meaningless something Congress never intended and would not accept."
Years of campaigning for change may have won the day for industry. The FCC has proposed capping all fees to five percent, the current limit for franchise fees. Most crucial to point out is that in-kind donations, which have covered a plethora of items over the years, will be counted under the cap as part of the FCC's consideration. For community media organizations like PEG television and radio, these changes mark a tectonic shift.
Some believe the FCC changes could be disastrous. Most media organizations already lost bids to tack fees onto internet services via cable providers as more people cut the cord and dropped cable in favor of streaming online. These outlets argued the franchise fee pool was already shrinking. The latest changes, media advocates suggest, make deeper cuts. As such, the FCC's proposals are creating stress in media outlets nationwide.
Victor Locke, who oversees community media in Durango, Colo. said about the proposal. "This is an attempt by the industry to rewrite the rules so they don't have to pay the franchise fees. We have eight buildings in the city that Charter Spectrum has to provide cable service to. Now that would be included [in the five percent]. This is like changing the rules in midstream. I think that's really rubbing people the wrong way."
One manager told his local press, "We provide all of the city council meetings, planning board meetings, Regional School Unit 1 meetings — this is one source where people can see for themselves on television what is being said. We give the whole thing. People get to see the entire meeting." The changes, it is hinted at, could devastate the organization and effectively silence this valuable coverage.
No matter what happens, this debate is certain to continue. One can hope that all sides recognize the valuable place these media organizations play locally, and our shared desire for a rich, informed citizenry. All of us want the next generation to feel passionate and interested in leading their cities and states as well as the nation. Sustaining and expanding civic coverage will only benefit that goal.

Choosing not to vaccinate your kid can put them and other kids at risk for preventable disease, do your research before putting others at risk.
There is a lot of controversies when it comes to vaccinations, most people have their kids vaccinated but there are people out there not are completely against it. They say it causes autism and other risks.
Personally, I have had all 3 of my kids vaccinated, and they have had no side effects and have rarely been sick. And there has not been any research saying that these vaccines cause any kind of side effects besides what is stated by the doctor when they are done.
Autism has not been linked to vaccines, people have their own beliefs and opinions but when you don't get your kids vaccinated you are putting other kids at risk of getting sick.
Because of this small minority of people think that vaccines are bad for their kid's health. They may be a small group but they are a very vocal group.
I don't usually criticize other parents on how they raise their kids, but when it comes to my kid's health I'm going to say something, as do other parents. Most of the time when your kids are going to school they have to be vaccinated or they can not attend.
And I know that these parents are just looking out for the children just like the rest of us, but sometimes these thoughts that they have are a little misguided.
People think that big government is just lying to us about vaccines and that they are just harmful chemicals going into our kid's bodies and will just make them sick. They think that the vaccine is more harmful then their kid getting the measles.
These parents have been told by anti-vax professionals that these vaccines are harmful, so instead of asking your child's doctor about immunizations they just go by what these "professionals" tell them.
One of the biggest arguments is that the vaccines make people sicker, We are not getting sicker if we are vaccinated not even a bit, getting vaccinated we are making our kids healthier because we are preventing them from getting sick.
There is roughly 1 serious vaccine injury out of every million vaccines given. This is a number that is worldwide, from Japan to Australia. Vaccines are safe and effective, not because pharmaceutical say they are, but because of the decades of research show they are.
So stop listening to all these so-called anti-vax professionals, talk to you doctors do all your research. your child's health and all the children around thems health depends on it.
And if you do choose not to vaccinate then tell the school and parents that your kid is not vaccinated, because if your child gets the measles or any other preventable diseases then the parents will know how their kid got it or to protect them from it.
So get your kids vaccinated, it's great for society and not expensive, and most of all it could just save their life.

France in a nutshell
France is a Western European country with a population of about 65 million. It has a number of overseas territories spread across the globe. Being as it is one of the oldest countries in the world, it's no surprise that it has a lengthy history.
France is known around the world for having a sophisticated and modern culture. It's also world-famous for its cuisine, wine, art and fashion.
Why is France so popular to visit?
It's arguably one of the most population and well-known destinations in the world, and many people are curious to discover the country firsthand. With one of the busiest airports in the world, it's a fairly accessible country for people from every corner of the globe, and for this reason it's often the starting point for many tourists visiting Europe. The capital is a must for any traveler to the country, and for good reason. There are an endless amount of museums, historic sites, churches and cafes, so the chances of being bored are slim to none. While Paris is usually the main draw, some people venture to the countryside or the coastal region. French culinary and wine is another major lure.
Things to do in France
The iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris is a must-see, and those with a little extra energy can actually climb to the observation deck at the top. There are countless museums scattered throughout the capital, but highly rated ones include the Louvre, the Centre Pompidou and the Musée d'Orsay. The list of things to do in Paris goes on and on, but there's much more to the country than its capital. Another popular place is Marseille, which is a port city located in the South of France. Hop on a ferry or catch a quick flight to Corsica, a French island with crystal-clear, turquoise water and mountainous terrain. Sip your way through the vineyards in Bordeaux or hip the slopes of Mont Blanc. From city adventures to coastal escapes and more, this country really has something for everyone.
What is the best time of year to visit Iceland?
France is definitely a year-round destination, with activities and events happening all year. The shoulder seasons, typically April to June and September to November, are said to the best times to visit due to the pleasant weather, fair prices and smaller crowds. While the weather in winter isn't exactly ideal, it's still a great time to visit because of the cheap airfare and small crowds. Head to the mountains for a ski getaway or visit some of the lovely Christmas markets throughout the country.


Established in 2001, the Afghanistan and Central Asian Association works to empower educate and unite Afghan and Central Asian refugees and facilitate their integration process into British society. This has been possible through the provision of language courses, supplementary schools, mentoring schemes, social events and legal assistance; providing them the skills and knowledge required to exercise their rights and achieve success and prosperity within the UK.
In Afghanistan we work to promote human rights and democracy, through the establishment of citizen's advice bureaus, focusing out efforts on some of the country's most vulnerable people, women, internally displaced people and those with disabilities.
Donate to our page to allow us to continue the work that is integral to refugee settlement and to facilitating integration within the UK. The projects run by the ACAA provide education, social mobility and a future full of potential to countless individuals who have sought refugee here.


I also ran 7 miles on Tuesday morning, and about 4 this morning. I pretend that living at 6600 feet makes me impervious to altitude, but all it takes is a tiny uphill here at 9600 feet and I am gasping and miserable. Clearly I need to get more altitude training before the Imogene Pass Run in September. I wanted to go biking again tonight, or running tomorrow morning before driving home, but I'm running the Steamworks Half Marathon on Saturday and must conserve glycogen. To that end I am carboloading a bomber of Switchback Amber from the Backcountry Brewery in Frisco, and have polished off most of a bag of Rold Gold Honey Wheat Braided Twist pretzels. La la la.
I did make it back for the Wednesday evening special session, which was James Balog of the Extreme Ice Survey showing all sorts of nifty time-lapse photography of glacier faces falling into the ocean. As soon as I got back to my room I put his NOVA/PBS documentary on Netflix. REALLY COOL, folks. After his presentation he made a heartfelt plea for scientists interested in using his images to extract land-ice data to help him get funding, because he really needs $600,000 to keep going, and all I could think of was, wow, in the world of scientific projects that is such a tiny little amount. I actually don't know how useful his stuff is in the world of glaciology - we are just starting to fold glaciology into our models, so it's a kind of climate science I'm only barely conversant with - but wow, it's science in action!
Tomorrow morning I shall drive home. Whee.

Iran weakness shown by protests: experts
By Yang Sheng Source:Global Times Published: 2020/1/15 0:33:35
US gloats at unrest, but numbers 'should not be exaggerated'

"A good hand" was dealt Iran in handling the US assassination of Major General Qasem Soleimani, but Tehran didn't play it well, and now the situation has turned against itself, revealing flaws in the country's crisis management, analysts said.
Earlier this month, on January 5-7, after the assassination of Soleimani, hundreds of thousands of Iranian demonstrators across the country showed their fury toward the US.
But days later, after Iran admitted to shooting down the Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737 that caused 176 deaths, protests erupted against the Iranian authorities and military forces.
Hua Liming, a former Chinese ambassador to Iran, told the Global Times Tuesday that "Iran actually had a good hand at the beginning, when the world showed sympathy to it and its people were united by anti-US fury, but it messed up."
At first when the airliner crashed, the government, media and leaders all denied any responsibility.
Two days later, an Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) aerospace commander said the force took "full responsibility."
On Saturday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the missiles were fired "due to human error."
The crash was an "unforgivable mistake," the president said.
The resulting protests arose in the region of Sharif University of Technology, Amirkabir University of Technology and the University of Tehran, Zhu Ning, bureau chief of the Middle East Office in Tehran of the Shanghai newspaper Wenhui Daily, told the Global Times Tuesday.
"The main reason was that among the 176 passengers killed in the incident, some were students of these universities and so it is totally reasonable for the students to initiate protests to express their sadness and anger," Zhu said.
The protests started Saturday and peaked Sunday, he noted. The participants numbered no more than 2,000 and the protest did not impact other parts of Tehran, Zhu said.
By Tuesday morning, no protester could be found on the streets, he noted.
Yin Gang, an expert on Middle East studies at the China Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, said that "unreliable reports on the 80 casualties of US troops after the missile strikes and the crash of the Ukrainian airliner seriously damaged the IRGC's image and credibility among the people. The conflicts between the IRGC and the government were uncovered."
Hua noted that the horrible mistake showed the IRGC was to some extent out of control, as it could act indecently and keep its own secrets from other governmental departments, the president of the country, and even the supreme leader.
Wenhui Daily correspondent Zhu asserted that the scale of the protests initiated by students "should not be exaggerated."
Western media, especially the US media, and the US government would love to hype and use the incident, he told the Global Times.

Danbury residents to weigh in on bank's plan to raze Tuxedo Junction for a downtown office building
Rob Ryser
Tuxedo Junction, with the mural windows, would be sold to the Savings Bank of Danbury and razed as part of a larger downtown office development, under a deal being proposed by City Hall.

Former Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, speaking to the City Council about his support of a deal to sell the city-owned Tuxedo Junction to the Savings Bank of Danbury, which wants to demolish the club as part of a larger office building development at Main and White streets.
City of DanburyShow MoreShow Less
DANBURY — The public will have a chance to comment on City Hall's plan to sell the storied Tuxedo Junction club to Savings Bank of Danbury, which wants to demolish the venue as part of a $20 million development of a Main Street office building.
The public hearing about the bank's plan to buy the 7,000-square-foot former club from Danbury is the final step before the City Council and its new supermajority of Republicans votes on the deal.
The deal has the backing of the city's top Republicans, including former Mayor Mark Boughton, who made a special appearance at this week's City Council meeting to lobby for it.
"We have a piece of property on the books that doesn't generate any taxes that has been sitting there deteriorating each and every year, and we now have an opportunity with the Savings Bank of Danbury to move forward in our downtown to help a close to $20 million dollar investment on that corner (of Main and White streets)," Boughton said on Tuesday to his former City Council colleagues. "This (Tuxedo Junction) building is integral to the overall development of that project."
Boughton is referring to a cavernous property in the heart of what was once Danbury's Ives Street entertainment district, which he thought had a promising future as a community theater when the city bought it for $395,000 in 2017.
Since then, Boughton has left City Hall to become the state tax commissioner, and Tuxedo Junction has become unmarketable, he said.
"The amount of capital you have to put into the property to make it viable as an entertainment complex doesn't make any sense in terms of how much you are actually able to generate there," Boughton told the City Council during a meeting on Tuesday. "You'll have to put about a million dollars in there or maybe less to bring it up to code and then charge market rate rent — and a market rate lease is always too much for people."
Boughton made the same argument in late November at a meeting of city leaders, department heads and bank executives, where a committee voted to recommend the deal with the bank.
At that meeting, City Council member Ben Chianese, a Democrat, said he thought the city was "giving up too soon" on the potential of the property to attract some of the downtown's lost nightlife back to Main Street.
It was not clear on Wednesday how soon a public hearing would be scheduled to give residents a chance to weigh in.
Former Mayor Joe Cavo and newly elected Mayor Dean Esposito support the deal, along with fellow Republican Vinny DiGilio, president of the 21-member City Council, which has 14 Republicans.
The Savings Bank of Danbury, which proposes a "gateway" office structure to replace the YMCA building at Main and White streets, needs the empty lot where Tuxedo Junction sits for access to an upgraded power source.
Without a cleared Tuxedo Junction lot, the larger office building plan is jeopardized, Boughton said.
"It will be a new Main Street," Boughton said of the bank office building addition. "I am excited about it and you should be, too. This is a great thing for Danbury."

Q: Consider a function $g: (-1, +1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ Consider a function $g: (-1, +1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ given by
$g(x) = \frac{x}{1-|x|}$
Show that $g$ is 1-1 and find $g((-1,1))$
Find $g^{-1}$
Are $g$ and $g^-1$ continuous

I found that $g$ is 1-1 by contradiction. I assumed that $g(x_0)=g(x_1)$ where $x_0 \not= x_1$. I showed through trichotomy (moving the zero around) that it is impossible for the first condition to hold if the latter is true.
To find $g((-1,1))$ do I take limits?  If not, any hints?
For part II, How does one take the inverse of an absolute value? I'd imagine that it is not continuous.
Obviously, without an answer to part II, I cannot have a justified answer for the final part.

A: first observe that $y = g(x) = \dfrac{x}{1-|x|}$ is odd. we only need to worry about $x \ge 0.$  in this domain $y = \dfrac{x}{1-x} = -1+\dfrac{1}{1-x}.$ that is $g$ is increasing on $[0, 1)$ and has a vertical asymptote at $x = 1.$
you can find the inverse by solving for $y = -1 + \dfrac{1}{1-x}$ which gives $x = 1 - \dfrac{1}{1+y} = \dfrac{y}{1+y}$
therefore $g^{-1}(x) =\dfrac{x}{1+x} \text{ for }x\ge 0.$ you can extend it as an odd function to get $$g^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{x}{1+|x|}.  $$

A: $\;g\;$ is clearly continuous on $\;(-1\,,\,1)\;$ as a quotient of continuous functions here without the denominator's function vanishing in the domain.
For the inverse function:
$$y=\frac x{1-|x|}\implies y-y|x|-x=0=\begin{cases}y-(y+1)x=0\implies x=\frac y{1+y}&,\;0\le x\\{}\\y+(y-1)x=0\implies x=\frac y{1-y}&,\;x<0\end{cases}$$
So we get that
$$g^{-1}(x)=\begin{cases}\frac x{1+x}&,\;\;0\le x\\{}\\\frac x{1-x}&,\;\;x<0\end{cases}$$
So...is the inverse continuous?

A: To find the inverse function divide the given function in two parts:
$$
y=\begin{cases}
\dfrac{x}{1-x} \quad  0\le x<1\\
\dfrac{x}{1+x} \quad  -1< x < 0
\end{cases}
$$
then invert each part being careful to the domain of $y$.

FISCAL EFFECT  :   Unknown
COMMENTS  :
1)Authors Statement  :  According to the author, "Search and
rescue personnel are trained and organized by various
governmental agencies to participate in disaster response,
evacuation, and body recovery.  In performing their duties,
they are often put in harm's way, sacrificing their personal
safety to provide public safety.
"Senate Bill 390 serves to recognize the critical support role
of search and rescue personnel by increasing the maximum
penalties for both assault and battery of search and rescue
team members.  If passed, the maximum penalties would be equal
to the maximum penalties applied to assault and battery of
similar law enforcement personnel, including peace officers,
firefighters, and EMT's, among others."
2)Related Legislation  :  SB 406 (Liu) increases the penalty for a
battery committed against a security officer or a custody
assistant engaged in the performance of his or her duties.  SB
406 will be heard by this Committee today.
3)Prior Legislation  :
a)   SB 409 (Lowenthal), Chapter 410, Statutes of 2009,
increased the penalties for assault and battery against the
person of a highway worker engaged in the performance of
his or her duty.
b)   AB 1686 (Leno), Chapter 243, Statutes of 2007, increased
the fine from $1,000 to $2,000 when an assault is committed
against a parking control officer in the performance of his
or her duty.

The Sub Station will be closed again Tuesday after an unexpected guest came through their entrance Monday night.
An 8-point buck crashed through the restaurant's glass front doors around dinnertime. The scared animal was inside for quite a while, flipping over tables and chairs, ripping a sink off the wall, and trying to escape by getting through the ceiling — among other damage.
Customers were inside when the deer barged in. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
The buck eventually exited a side door. High Street southbound was shut down for a period of time in the 6 o'clock hour. The owners say they will have to remain closed until the clean up is complete.
Owners Shelli and Matt Reed posted this message on their Facebook page: "Yes, we can all find some humor in this. Truth is, a poor deer was hurt severely and escaped and is suffering somewhere, first off. Secondly, we do have video and pictures that are not presentable to the public due to extremely graphic nature. Thirdly, this poor, scared animal caused thousands of dollars in damage to our shop and it will take days of down time to fix and hours of off time for our employees."

The Reeds are very appreciative to all who stepped up to help and to all that have offered to help.
"We hope to be opened back up very soon." Exactly when that will be though remains unknown.
