Mills Garners Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division III National Player of the Week Honors
By Robert Minichini
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Hannah Mills' bat was on fire this past week, as the Parksley, Va., native went 10-for-13 (.769) at the plate, en route to Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division III Player of the Week honors, while helping (tied) No. 9 Salisbury University to four wins by a total margin of 51-7.
The senior shortstop and current Capital Athletic Conference Softball Player of the Week was responsible for 16 of the Sea Gulls' 51 runs as she touched home plate six times and smacked in 10 RBI during the four-game performance. Of her 10 hits, eight were of the extra-base variety with five doubles, one triple and two home runs. She also drew three walks and struck out just once. The first of her two big flies was a three-run home run that sparked a 12-2 victory over then No. 21-ranked Christopher Newport. Against the Captains, Mills batted 7-for-8 with a 2.000 slugging percentage.
She also performed well in the field, recording zero errors, five assists and two putouts from the shortstop position.
Up next for Mills and the Sea Gulls are back-to-back double headers with one slated for Sat., April 6, against Mary Washington and the other scheduled for Sun., April 7, versus Washington College.
The Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division III Player of the Week is selected by the NFCA Division III Top 25 Committee. Submissions for Player of the Week at the Division III level are due absolutely no later than 4 p.m. ET on Monday's. Stats and performances should reflect only the previous week of play (Monday through Sunday). For more information regarding how to nominate your player for the weekly honors, contact Andrew Phillips at Andrew@nfca.org.


How can I do that?
It turned out to be a nightmare.
To find a word for that something else.
But is it in our hands?
Yes, it is, I think.
Why to feed the brain with fairy tales?
Why to roam in dreams?
No, it isn't, I then think.
And that's the best time I could have.
Not about dreams and fairy tales.
Even after deciding not to.
He stopped on his way to home from office as he saw her outside his office building. She could see a disappointing expression on his face, but pretended that everything was fine between them. He continues walking; neglecting her with his face indicating a rift that cannot be fixed.
"Is that how you treat your acquaintances? Don't they teach you manners in here?" said she, playfully. He stopped.
"Is that how you break someone's heart?" said he, without looking at her. Sumit was an IT professional, in his mid twenties, and chose to walk 10 kilometers every day from office to home as a punishment after heartbreak.
"How about, hi Ayushi, how are you? And then we can talk about that?" said she, a cheerful, vivacious, and articulate girl. They were in a relationship for eight years. This was the first they were meeting after the marriage of Ayushi.
They strolled up to a kilometer. Sumit was still hesitant to talk, while Ayushi was trying to cheer him up to talk in an attempt to make him forgive her.
"Let's be adults now and talk about what happened and how it happened, so you will stop giving yourself this senseless punishment," said she.
"I don't know why people think this is senseless, like they did all the meaningful things in their lives," replied he. The sarcasm hurt her. But she knew there was a lot more coming on her way.
He paused for a moment. Ayushi was excited to hear what he had to say.
She told her about the emotional roller coaster ride she went through and not involving him in the process because of her father's threats. Acquainted with her father's capabilities, she knew her father didn't make any empty threats. She told Sumit that she took the decision to go against her wishes only to protect him. He didn't buy it. But he also forgot that he was also responsible equally for not coming forward. Though Ayushi didn't allow him to confront her father, he had to take a chance. After all, she was his life. But he was into the periphery of blaming her that he could not see a mirror. And she was not aware of any mirror because the lack of confrontation was out of integrity of their relationship.
"You told me your side of story. Now, let me tell you, I'm not mad at you anymore. Whatever happened was not entirely your fault. I'm equally responsible for it. I should have confronted your father. I know your father and I also know why were you stopping me. It would have been my privilege to die for you. I should've died once, because it's better than dying every day," admitted Sumit. Tears dripped down from Ayushi's eyes.
"Don't say that," said Ayushi, trying to take blame on herself.
It took a moment to figure out that it was a dream and yet Sumit had not forgiven her.
"I know it hurt you so much that you can't stop thinking about it in your sleep. I know I've hurt you. Please forgive me," said her husband.
"It's fine," said Ayushi. Her husband hugged and thanked her. Her mother-in-law called them for breakfast from kitchen.
After two years of marriage, she was still seeking forgiveness from Sumit. The crazy fact is, she had to go through another day in which she had to choose what she had with them over she might have had with Sumit.
But why can't she understand?
All I want is, her attention.
And she's listening through her mind.
But the choice made life more chaotic.
Every path has its own set of struggles.
The sun lazily crept down the horizon as they held each other's hand enjoying the view in front. The fog leapt hills adjoining the dam and greenery adorned the hill. Seated on a high wall beside the dam, their eyes twinkled as they watched the water flow calmly; the soothing effect reached deep into their minds. A gentle breeze blew every now and then, sending slight shivers through their veins. The surrounding greenery soaked into their sub-conscience, they looked into each other's eyes. She gave him an affectionate smile. He held her closer, sliding his hand comfortably over her shoulder. They turned back their gazes to experience the magnificent beauty of the scenery that lay ahead. Immersed deep into the profoundness of the moment, they hardly realized that this would be another priced addition to their treasure of memories.
It was in that moment when they were dissociated from the rest of the world. Their cellphones stashed aside, it was their eyes which did the capturing – slowly acknowledging each other's presence and the surreal atmosphere around.
'This is too beautiful to be real!' she remarked.
'Yes. And so are you,' he nudged.
'Yeah… That's right!' She shrugged.
'Let's do it now,' she said.
They propped against each other and stood up against the blowing wind. Both looked down at the flowing water once again – towards the blinding white froth that would act as the end-curtain to their epic stories.

$3 billion earmarked for carbon capture, sequestration
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the selection of three new projects with a value of $3.18 billion to accelerate the development of advanced coal technologies with carbon capture and storage at commercial-scale.
Secretary Chu made the announcement on a conference call with Governor Joe Manchin, Senator Jay Rockefeller, and President of American Electric Power Company, Inc.
, Mike Morris. These projects will help to enable commercial deployment to ensure the United States has clean, reliable, and affordable electricity and power.
An investment of up to $979 million, including funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will be leveraged by more than $2.2 billion in private capital cost share as part of the third round of the DepartmentÂ's Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI).
"By harnessing the power of science and technology, we can reduce carbon emissions and create new clean energy jobs. This investment is part of our commitment to advancing carbon capture and storage technologies to the point that widespread, affordable deployment can begin in eight to 10 years," said Secretary Chu.
"Throughout our history, West Virginia has been a leader in energy and we have helped to power the growth of our nation," said Governor Joe Manchin. "West Virginia continues that leadership as we find ways to more cleanly and efficiently use our natural resources. Clean coal solutions are possible and attainable - and that is evident by all of the supporters behind this project. This is so crucial to move this state and nation forward."
"I am thrilled to announce this substantial funding - because this is about securing a prosperous economic future for West Virginia," said Senator Rockefeller. "Coal has and always will be an enormous part of our West Virginia soul and when we invest in new technologies that make it better and cleaner, we are taking control our future - and that is the key. I firmly believe that these types of technology developments will help in reversing the recent trend of uncertainty in the coal industry and inspire further investment in coal. This funding is a critical down payment for West Virginia's economy, and it's only the beginning."
"These Federal stimulus dollars for carbon capture and storage will help ensure that West Virginia coal continues to heat and light our homes and businesses for many years to come. Clean coal can be a green, competitive 21st Century fuel," added Senator Robert C. Byrd.
The projects that were announced demonstrate advanced coal-based technologies that will capture and sequester or put to beneficial use carbon emissions. The selections demonstrate technologies that:
• make progress toward a target CO2 capture efficiency of 90%;
• make progress toward a capture and sequestration goal of less than 10% increase in the cost of electricity for gasification systems and less than 35% for combustion and oxycombustion systems;
• capture and sequester or put to beneficial use an amount of CO2 emissions in excess of the minimum of 300,000 tons per year required by CCPI.
The Clean Coal Power Initiative Round III was created in 2005 to reduce the time it would take for low-emission coal technologies to be ready for commercial use. The awards are the second installment of projects awarded under CCPI Round III. Two projects were previously selected under CCPI Round III in July 2009 to receive $408 million in DOE funds.

Slightly quirky ,but full of fun I enjoy the great outdoors and evenings in by the fire. I love to visit the theatre ,art exhibitions and places I've yet to discover. I can't resist a trip to the seaside with a little beach combing if I'm lucky.
Looking,but not too hard for a man to share some fun days out, someone who can make me laugh and feel loved again.

Martina Navratilova throws a hit at Novak Djokovic
In recent years, Novak Djokovic has worked hard both on and off the court. After coming so near to a "Calendar Grand Slam" in 2021, Serbia's prodigy lost in the final game.
Former world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev defeated him in the final of the US Open after he had won the first three grand slams of the year. The 35-year-old Belgrade man had a bad start to the year in 2022 because of his decision not to get vaccinated against the Coronavirus.
Aside from the fact that Nole could not defend his Australian Open title, he also had to miss the Masters 1000 tournaments in the United States (Indian Wells/Miami). At Roland Garros, the 'Djoker' failed to meet expectations, but quickly made amends at Wimbledon.
Novak managed to win his eighth Church Road title despite dropping many sets. As a result, he now has 21 Grand Slam titles under his belt, one less than his archrival Rafael Nadal.
Djokovic and Vasek Pospisil, a friend and colleague during the pandemic, formed the PTPA. A plan that sparked a lot of debate.
Navratilova has harsh words for Djokovic.
When it came to the PTPA, Novak Djokovic was the target of Martina Navratilova's recent jab: "He is adamant that he acted correctly.
Although I don't agree with Nole on this point, he is free to do so. Tennis, in my opinion, has suffered as a result of that initiative. Take some time off and focus on something that will benefit our sport, in my opinion "the WTA legend opined
Novak will be unable to compete in the U.S. Open if no last-minute alterations are made. "I would never travel to a country unless I had the proper documentation to do so. Otherwise, if I'm denied entry to the United States, it won't be the end of the world for me. I still feel young, so I have many possibilities ahead of me."

Storytime with Ian: Who are the Jötnar?
by Gwen Nix | Apr 25, 2019 | graphic novels, guest post, Kickstarter | 0 comments
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth".
See, that's where the Christianity has it all wrong. All good Vikings knew the real story of how it all really began. The same way it will all end.
With giants.
Ginnungagap was the great emptiness before there was the world, flanked by two inhospitable realms. There was Muspelheim, crossed by endless rivers of boiling poison and vast lakes of fire; and Niflheim, where icy volcanoes spewed forth frozen mists and arctic waters. Sparks and smoke met layers of rime and frost in the yawning void and from them came the first being.
A Jötunn, Ymir, appeared in the melting ice. From his sweat, the first Jötnar were born. Ymir fed on the milk of the primeval cow Auðumbla, also born of the meltwater. She licked the blocks of salty ice, releasing Búri, who was large, powerful, and beautiful to behold.
In time, Búri's son Borr had three sons: the gods Óðinn, Vili, and Vé. The three sons of Borr had no use for Ymir and his growing family of cruel and brutish giants, so they attacked and killed him. So much blood flowed from the body that it drowned all the other giants except for two—Bergelmir and his wife escaped. They stole away in a hollowed-out tree trunk, a makeshift boat floating on the sea of gore to safety, to a land they named Jötunheim, home of the giants.
From Ymir's body, the brothers made the world of humans: his blood, the seas and lakes, his flesh, the earth, his bones, the mountains and his teeth the rocks. From his skull, they made the dome of the sky, setting a dwarf at each of the four corners to hold it high above the earth. They protected the world from the Jötnar with a wall made from Ymir's eyebrows. Next, they caused time to exist and placed the orbs of the sun and moon in chariots which were to circle around the sky.
Finally, the three brothers built their own realm. Ásgarð, a mighty stronghold, with green plains and shining palaces high over Miðgarð. They built the rainbow bridge Bifröst to link the realms. The Æsir, the guardians of men, crossed over the bridge and settled in Ásgarð.
There the gods would dwell, ever vigilant, until Ragnarok, the long-heralded last battle, where the monstrous Jötnar set about destroying the entire cosmos. Fenrir, the great wolf, consumes the world so swiftly that even the sun is dragged from its zenith and into the beast's stomach.
The Jötnar have a pivotal role in Norse mythology. To the men of the North, the Jötnar had the power of oncoming storms, roaring volcanoes, and the clamorous oceans – in some sense, they were the personification of the merciless and indifferent power of Nature. They were the sires of the gods, their spouses and lovers, their constant foes and their inevitable doom.
And while the Jötnar are described as a race of beings distinct from the gods – as well as other creatures such as humans, elves, and dwarves – they are somewhat ambiguously described, both in their physique and their character. Some jötnar, such as Skrymir (who is known also as Útgarða-Loki), are depicted as being of an immense size, thus giving rise to the translation of the word 'jötunn' into English as 'giant'.
Some jötnar, such as Skaði, were said to be extremely beautiful – in the Poetic Edda poem Grímnismál, Odin mentions the "ancient courts" of Þrymheimr, noting that the jötunn Þjazi once lived there, and that now his daughter Skaði does. Odin refers to Skaði as "the shining bride of the gods" and in some tales, the pair go on to marry and give birth to nations of kings. Some scholars go so far as to suggest that Scandinavia may be related to the name Skaði (potentially meaning 'Skaði's island').
Other Jötnar were hideous. It is told in Snorri Sturluson's Gylfaginning that at Baldr's funeral his wife Nanna died of grief and was placed alongside him on his pyre. Hringhorni, Baldr's ship, was the largest of all such vessels and was to serve as the god's funeral ship. No one, however, could seem to launch the boat out to sea. The gods then enlisted the help of Hyrrokkin, who came from Jötunheimr, arriving on a giant wolf with vipers as reins. When she dismounted, Odin summoned four berserks to look after the animal but they were unable to control it without first rendering it unconscious. With her seismic strength, the giantess rolled the boat into the water.
In the Vikingverse, these stories and characters are more than just ancient myth. In the way that the Bible forms the daily bread of many devout Christians, the Jötnar are part of the fabric of society and its belief system.
We were all recently horrified by the fire at Notre Dame. Social media was full of people's personal memories, their own connection with the great stone cathedral and all and relics. We felt all felt a sense of profound loss.
All of a sudden, the Gargoyles on the roof were suddenly leering out of memory, all across the internet. Not bad for a beast used by the Catholic Church to illustrate evil.
French legend tells of St. Romanus, bishop of Rouen, who delivered the country from a monster called Gargouille. La Gargouille is said to have been the typical dragon with bat-like wings, a long neck, and the ability to breathe fire from its mouth. Multiple versions of the story are given, either that St. Romanus subdued the creature with a crucifix, or he captured the creature with the help of the only volunteer, a condemned man. In each, the monster is led back to Rouen and burned, but its head and neck would not burn due to being tempered by its own fire breath. The head was then mounted on the walls of the newly built church to scare off evil spirits and used for protection.
The parallels with the Jötnar are clear. Primeval, indefatigable titans who tread heavily in our nightmares, the bane of Christianity. Demons to be defeated and cast into the Abyss. Trophies to be mounted on the wall of our proud monuments.
Now imagine a world were Christianity had been put to the Viking sword, where there was no Mother Church left to determine who was a saint and who was a sinner, no Catholic priests to stem the pagan tide and contain the wild, untrammelled beliefs of the Northerners. Forget Armageddon, Hellfire and the Antichrist. The world doesn't end with a bang, or a whimper. It ends with a horde of unstoppable Jötnar.
If you want a truly terrifying End of Days, embrace your inner Viking and help Kickstart the Jötunn War.
ABOUT VIKINGVERSE
The Vikingverse is the alternate universe that results when Odin escapes his doom at Ragnarok; a parallel timeline where Vikings rule seas and stars and the storied heroes of mankind emerge in new and brutal guises drawn from the sagas. Hang on tightly, 'cause the Free World just got thrown to the wolves and the meek shan't inherit this Earth.

Q: Specified member type is not supported linq Can anyone tell me what kind of error is this?

The specified type member 'OrderDetails' is not supported in LINQ to Entities. Only initializers, entity members, and entity navigation properties are supported.
  What's wrong here in this code?

return storeDB.Albums.OrderByDescending(a=>a.OrderDetails.Count()).Take(count).ToList()

A: Since you are using EF code first try to add a configuration class to map the one to many relationship between Album and OrderDetails. The following will be a sample configuration for the Album.
public class AlbumConfiguration : EntityTypeConfiguration<Album>
    {
        public AlbumConfiguration()
        {
            HasKey(a => a.Id);
            HasMany(album => album.Orders).WithOptional(order => order.Album).
               HasForeignKey(order => order.AlbumId);
        }
    }

and your OrderDetails should be changed as follows
OrderDetail
{
  public int OrderDetailId { get; set; }
  public int OrderId { get; set; }
  public int AlbumId { get; set; }
  public int Quantity { get; set; }
  public decimal UnitPrice { get; set; }
  public virtual Album Album { get; set; }
  public virtual Order Order { get; set; }
}

and your Album class should have a virtual List of OrderDetails.
and finally in your DbContext class add the configuration by overrinding the OnModelCreating method. sample class would be
public class YourContext : DbContext
    {

       // your DBSets and contructors, etc

        protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {
            modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(new AlbumConfiguration());
            base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
        }

    }

Try this may be this is the cause of your exception

The Norwegian Government has an ambition that Norway should be an international leader in entrepreneurship education. The final report from a five-year independent evaluation of the national "Strategic Plan for Entrepreneurship in the Education System" has just been published.
JA-YE Norway has a crucial role in offering entrepreneurial learning opportunities in the Norwegian school system. The recommendations from the evaluators are to continue the cooperation between the government and JA-YE Norway and to increase the support to the organisation.
They recommend that JA-YE Norway should continue its work on higher education, but at the same time keep up the pace of growth in compulsory education.
They suggest strengthening the cooperation between JA-YE Norway and initial teacher training institutions in order to increase knowledge and competence through continuous professional development among teachers.
The action plan for entrepreneurship education has had an important role in putting entrepreneurship on the agenda and played an important role in the continuation of the government's efforts to focus on entrepreneurship in education.
The report also provides a summary of several research projects examining the distribution and impact of JA-YE programmes and other forms of entrepreneurship education in the period 2010-2014. Although the evaluators have not carried out particular evaluation of the activities in JA-YE Norway, many of the different actors they interviewed have underlined the importance of JA-YE Norway and their work. In particular, JA-YE Norway has a huge impact and a very important role regarding the activities in compulsory education (age 6 to 19). Positive findings in a former evaluation done by the government (2011) regarding efficiency and quality of the deliveries from JA-YE Norway, resulted in increased support and continuous cooperation. In the evaluation of the strategic plan, the evaluators underline that the results of this collaboration represent the most significant impact of their plan aimed at primary and secondary education.
The Nordic Institute for Studies in Innovation, Research and Education (NIFU) and Eastern Norway Research Institute (ENRI) did the evaluation, and they conclude that it is important to continue to have a strong focus on entrepreneurship education in the future. Entrepreneurship is a key factor for change and development of the society, and expertise in entrepreneurship is a competence, which should be encouraged at all levels of education. The recommendation is to continue to develop and increase entrepreneurial learning both in compulsory education and in higher education. However, considering the differences between the two types of institutions, they suggest compulsory and higher education should be followed up with different strategies, but viewed within the same overall context.

Your company's GSA contract positions your company to realize sales growth if priority is given to accurately identify and describe products and services that have sustainable environmental attributes in Commercial Price Lists, websites, and print materials. GSA relies heavily on your company's identification of sustainable products and services offerings conveyed in your commercial price list and product descriptions facilitated by the electronic upload into GSA Advantage!.
GSA is committed to providing "green" options for federal customers. GSA works hard to build strategic customer relationships and to become a trusted advisor for the many acquisition programs it manages. GSA leverages these relationships to identify business opportunities, create awareness of the various GSA acquisition programs, and present vendors under GSA contract as the viable solution for their acquisition needs. GSA has implemented strategies to make it easier for the federal acquisition workforce to identify sustainable products and services offered by companies awarded a GSA contract, such as by using the environmental icons in GSA Advantage!, to identify these items.
Here are several specific examples of how GSA utilizes your company's identification of sustainable products to help position companies under GSA contract for increasing its federal market share.
The GSA Green Procurement Compilation (GPC) consolidates federal purchasing requirements from a variety of sources in order to simplify sustainable acquisition efforts.

WASHINGTON — One should never feel sorry for anyone working in President Trump's White House. They volunteered for this dreadful and chaotic administration. But it's hard to envy those tasked with writing drafts of his State of the Union address.
There was a time not long ago when women in politics were counseled never to speak about their children, if they were moms. A woman needed to seem strong enough for the job. Especially for the male consultants in the room, being a mom read "too soft," maybe even too weak.
WASHINGTON — They say you can fix anything with duct tape. But using it to repair a presidency?

About Eve Goldberg View Full Biography Imagine a kitchen party where Mother Maybelle Carter, Ella Fitzgerald, Mississippi John Hurt, Bessie Smith, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and Patsy Cline show up, and you begin to get a sense of what it feels like inside songwriter Eve Goldberg's head. Never one to restrict herself to one genre of music, Eve has performed her trademark mixture of folk, blues, country, bluegrass, old time, and jazz in venues ranging from small house concerts to the prestigious Kennedy Center in Washington DC since 1990.
Eve was born in the Boston area but has called Toronto, Ontario home since 1981. As a child, she was dragged to folk concerts by the likes of The Weavers, Doc Watson, Arlo Guthrie, the Watersons, and countless others. Eventually it sank in, and as a teenager she began to devour all kinds of contemporary and traditional roots music. She began performing in 1990, and hasn't looked back since. Along the way she's earned the respect of legendary musicians like Peggy Seeger, Geoff Muldaur, and Penny Lang.
Her watercolour voice and solid guitar style has become a favourite at festivals, folk clubs, and concert series across Canada and the US. With an equal passion for traditional music, and for the art of songwriting and interpretation, Eve's performances are intimate and relaxed, moving effortlessly from folk classics to original gems, all wrapped up in her clear, pure voice and dynamic guitar playing. She has released two albums to widespread acclaim -- 1998's "Ever Brightening Day" released on her own Sweet Patootie Music label, and 2003's "Crossing the Water," released by The Borealis Recording Company. Her instrumental tune "Watermelon Sorbet" was used for years as the opening theme to the popular CBC national radio show "Richardson's Roundup."
Her latest album "A Kinder Season" was released in September 2007 on Borealis Records (US Release: Jan 9, 2007). Recorded in the months after her mother's death, the album is a remarkable personal testament to the joy and hope that lurks somewhere beyond the heartache, and the sweetness that can be found even in the bitterest seasons of life. Produced by Ken Whiteley, "A Kinder Season" features twelve new originals that firmly establish Eve as a compelling and thoughtful writer whose songs draw honey from the rock of human experience. As legendary blues musician Geoff Muldaur put it, "As far as I'm concerned, Eve Goldberg is on the verge of riches. Big name folks would want to get hold of this stuff."
In January 2008, Eve released "The Streets of Burma," a song inspired by the peaceful demonstrations of monks and nuns in Burma in September 2007. Since then, Amnesty International Canada has used the song as part of its campaign to free U Gambira, one of the monks arrested following his participation in the protests. Visitors to www.amnesty.ca/streetsofburma/ can listen to a preview of the song, find out more about the situation in Burma, sign an e-postcard to help free U Gambira, and if they want, download the song in exchange for a donation to Amnesty International Canada.
"A pure and pleasing voice and a performance style that know no bounds."
- Greg Quill, Toronto Star
"...one of the most promising young singers in the Canadian folk scene"
- Alistair Brown, Greenman Review
"Wow! Ever Brightening Day is one of the best albums I've heard this year!"

Ocean Economy – Mauritius Country Profile
Ocean Economy
The Blue Economy represents over 10.5 per cent of the national GDP of Mauritius, with total direct employment estimated at over 20,000 excluding coastal tourism.
Tapping into the economic potential of the ocean—while at the same time protecting this resource—requires thoughtful policy, planning, and management. With this in mind, Mauritius decided to make the "Blue Economy" a pillar of its economic development strategy, with an objective to double the contribution of the Blue Economy to GDP by 2025. It created an Oceans Economy Roadmap, which aims to make use of the untapped value of the country's ocean resources by sustainably coordinating the use of resources. The country endowed a new Ministry for Blue Economy, Marine Resources, Fisheries, and Shipping with the authority to coordinate and manage ocean-related activities.
Fisheries: The entire fisheries sector in Mauritius employs an estimated 11,000 people and contributes 1.5 per cent to GDP. Mauritius has 42 species of fish that are of economic importance within the inshore area, with a different composition and relative abundance in the near shore waters of each island. There are four main types of fisheries in Mauritius, namely; (i) artisanal fisheries; (ii) sport fisheries; (iii) banks fisheries: and (iv) tuna fisheries. Mauritius is already a seafood hub and one of the biggest tuna exporters to the European Union from the African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group of countries. Now there is considerable focus on the culture and cultivation of seaweed.
Artisanal fishing provides employment and livelihood to some 2,200 fishermen and their families.
Ports and Harbours: Mauritius has two ports – the main commercial one being in Port-Louis and a second in Port Mathurin to handle services between Rodrigues and Mauritius. The Port-Louis harbour has been transformed into a world class shipping facility.
Offshore Extractive Industry-Hydrocarbon and seabed minerals: Mauritius has embarked in the evaluation of the hydrocarbon potential in its maritime zone and also contemplates to explore the uncharted opportunities for deep seabed mining in waters beyond its national jurisdiction. Priority is now laid on the development of a sustainable legal framework that will address short and long term needs and opportunities for the country regarding the offshore extractive industry.
Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) and Marine Spatial Planning (MSP): Mauritius has strong coastal zone protection legislation that are prevalent in the ICZM Framework. The Ministry of Environment, Solid Waste Management and Climate Change has an ICZM division, which guarantees the institutional sustainability and highlights the government's commitment to protecting the country's coastal environment. In addition, the Environment Protection Act (amended 2008) makes provision for the Integrated Coastal Zone Management Committee, which comprise stakeholders from Government, parastatal bodies, private sector, NGOs and Local Authorities which ensures collaboration and information sharing among all stakeholders.
Mauritius has been advancing MSP in key maritime sectors such as port infrastructure, shipping, tourism, seafood, fisheries, aquaculture, underwater cultural heritage and marine renewable energy to strengthen its economic diversification. Mauritius has set up an MSP Coordinating Committee, bringing together all the relevant stakeholders to support the development of a holistic plan. It has also established three technical working groups focusing on new economic activities (aquaculture sites, marina development and tourism and recreational activities), for conservation of the marine ecosystem (to align the conservation strategy with the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and for the setting up of an appropriate framework to support MSP)

2019 SUZUKI JIMNY: THE BRILLIANT LIGHTWEIGHT 4X4 GETS BETTER
By Wayne Gorrett, Reviews Editor
The Suzuki Jimny is a compact 4x4 off-roader, not an SUV as some would have you believe. Essentially, it's a car definitely built for bruising, not necessarily for cruising.
Suzuki's diminutive 4x4 has been around in one guise or another since 1970. In the intervening years the car has seen surprisingly few big changes. The previous generation launched in 1998 remained on UK sale (42,000 units) for twenty years until production ceased in March this year so the production line could be re-tooled to make way for this new fourth-generation Jimny.
Whereas, the on-road civility of the previous Jimny was awful at best, the new Jimny's on road manners are notably improved. But it's off the beaten track where this iconic 4x4 is most at home and nothing else of the Jimny's size or price will get you further in to the back of beyond, and out again.
Last week, I met up with Suzuki Cars UK at Fawsley Hall south of Daventry and nearby Stoneleigh Park to try out the new Suzuki Jimny both on- and off-road and filed this first-drive report and range review exclusively for Leasing Options…
As for the new Jimny's exterior design, I think Suzuki has got this spot on. One's first thought is 'retro', which is understood due to its upright sides, square edges and sharply angled corners. I love its cubist form especially when finished in one of the funkier colours from the exterior palette.
It has several touches from the Jimny long heritage such as the round headlights and stand-alone indicators, features it shares with the original LJ10 from the early 70's.
The clamshell bonnet and the twin horizontal side-strakes that sit just aft of its shut line at the base of the A-pillar are distinctly SJ410 from 1982. Its five vertical-bar grille and generally less utilitarian looks are where it clearly demonstrates touches of the previous Jimny.
While an homage to its noble heritage is evident, this Mk4 Suzuki Jimny has a strong, loveable identity all of its own, being neither too cute to discourage its strong off-road followers nor overly rugged to dissuade tarmac drivers to give it a pootle. I don't think Suzuki could have done a better job, to be honest.
That the interior of the previous Jimny was in need of a full strip-out and thorough redesign is of course an understatement.
Fortunately, Suzuki has avoided gifting the all-new Jimny with more style than substance, but many may still find the Suzuki's interior rather light on kit and 'luxuries' compared to true rivals (if you can identify any) and there's no getting away from the fact that it has been designed and built to a strict budget.
The latest version has made a big step forwards from its predecessor when it comes to comfort, but its deliberately straightforward design both inside and out prevents it from matching more fashion-led and pricier rivals.
The Jimny's square, fit-for-purpose body develops an inordinate amount of wind noise at higher speeds, which joins the tiresome engine buzz and tyre roar to make long-distance motorway travel quite a tiring experience.
However, not only is the latest Jimny more attractive inside than before, it's just as easy to drive and enjoy as ever. Most important controls are chunky enough to use while wearing gloves, while the dials are big, bold and easy to read. Materials used are more pleasant to the touch than before, without feeling any less robust than they need to be.
The latest model makes far more concessions to comfort and convenience than before, with climate control and even heated seats available, along with a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system that's also used in the Suzuki Ignis.
Space for rear passengers has increased significantly but does remain somewhat cosy. The rear windows are fixed closed which some may find claustrophobic. Suzuki would do well to add leading-edge, hinged openings to both rear windows in the future.
Boot space with row two in place is a paltry 85 litres, but a handy 830 litres of space becomes available with the rear seat uprights folded to create a fully flat floor, unlike its predecessor.
There's a small underfloor storage area, plus a series of mounting points below the side windows from which a variety of accessories can be secured – load hooks, tonneau covers, that kind of thing.
The trick is to think of the new Jimny as a two-seater with a massive and incredibly practical load area, from which sprout a pair of seats should you so need them.
Trim grades and equipment
The 2019 Jimny is offered in just two trim grades; SZ4 and SZ5. You can only opt for the automatic transmission and access the full six-colour paint range if you go for the SZ5.
Standard kit on the SZ4 includes front fog lights, cruise control, hill decent control, hill hold control, Bluetooth, air-conditioning, 15-inch steel wheels and an MP3-compatible CD player with DAB radio.
Elevate to SZ5 and you'll get 15-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured door handles, tinted rear windows, LED headlights, climate control, a leather-covered steering wheel, sat nav with a seven-inch touchscreen, smartphone connectivity and heated front seats.
Select the SZ4 trim grades and your exterior colour choice will be limited to white, silver or black, whereas SZ5 buyers also have the option of yellow, ivory or blue with a contrasting black roof.
Engine and transmissions
Here, it's a very much a case of out with the old and in with the new. The latest Jimny is fitted with a four-cylinder 1.5-litre petrol engine, which replaces the ageing and less-efficient 1.3-litre engine used in the previous model.
The newer, bigger engine produces 101hp – an increase of 14hp. Acceleration has improved as a result, with 0-62mph taking around 12 instead of 14.1 seconds. While the additional power doesn't turn the Jimny into a quick car, it does make it more capable of keeping up with traffic than before. However, with 3,550rpm showing on the rev counter at 70mph, the Jimny is anything but a quiet cruiser.
Transmission choices comprise of a five-speed manual gearbox and a four-cog conventional torque-converter automatic 'box.
Fuel economy and emissions
Rather unusually for latter day, newly-designed engines, the 1.5-litre four-pot petrol engine isn't turbocharged. Fortunately, thanks to the Jimny's small size and relatively low weight it doesn't really need a turbo. However, like its predecessor, economy still isn't its strongest attribute, particularly as it's four-wheel-drive only.
When equipped with the five-speed manual gearbox, Suzuki claims official fuel economy of 41.5mpg with CO2 emissions of 178g/km for the new Jimny. If you opt for the four-speed automatic, efficiency drops to 37.7mpg with CO2 emissions of 198g/km.
The Jimny was awarded just three stars when it was crash-tested by Euro NCAP in September 2018, which isn't particularly encouraging. However, the car's poor rating is mostly to do with how its construction fails to offer a high level of protection to adult occupants in accidents.
The car comes with safety systems including Dual Sensor Brake Support (DSBS), which operates if the system determines there's a risk of collision with a vehicle in front or a pedestrian. You also get lane-departure warning, high-beam assistance, traffic-sign recognition, hill-descent control, hill-hold control and six airbags.
On-road ride and handling
The new Jimny's on-road driving dynamics have improved markedly over the previous model. However the steering is unnervingly light, is late to react and has too much play at the dead-ahead.
In an urban environment the ride is best described as adequate and the car feels agitated on imperfect road surfaces. When you do eventually get up some speed (62mph arrives in a lethargic 12.3 seconds), the ride doesn't get much better.
Due to the Jimny's tall, narrow body, short wheelbase and ladder frame construction, the ride is 'buoyant' through dips and over crests. Fortunately, there is much less body lean than before. The front tyres are not quite wide enough to instil confidence to take sweeping corners with any degree of sure-footedness as the front end has a noticeable tendency to float laterally on its sidewalls.
Off-road credibility
The new Jimny retains the four essentials for serious off-roading; a ladder frame, three excellent clearance angles, triple-link rigid axle suspension with coil spring and part-time 4WD with low range transfer gear. Designed for professionals, it features Suzuki's own AllGrip Pro – a system designed for significant off-road capability.
The new Jimny is one of the few authentic off-roaders equipped with a rigid axle for both front and rear. Drive can be switched from two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive at speeds of up to 62mph and from 4-high to 4-low at a complete stop.
The ladder frame structure from the previous iteration is retained and provides a solid base for suspension components when driving off-road and also helps protect the vehicle body even on bumpy surfaces. For the new Jimny, a new cross member plus two additional cross members have been incorporated for increased torsional rigidity.
The approach angle of 37 degrees, ramp break over angle of 28 degrees and departure angle of 49 degrees enables the Jimny to climb over obstacles and steep hills without the risk of scraping its bumpers or underbody.
The 2019 Jimny features a part-time rear-biased 4WD system with low range transfer gear, which can be easily switched from 2H (2WD-high gear), 4H (4WD-high gear) and 4L (4WD-low gear) modes by a manually operated shift lever directly connected to the transfer gear. Compared to the 4H mode, the 4L mode can transfer more torque to the wheels when in lower gears offering better traction on steep slopes and rough terrain.
We trundled the new Jimny through the tough and rugged off-road course at Stoneleigh Park. As expected, it performed exceptionally well and its low-ratio 'box is a gem to use with confidence. Its off-road capability is unquestionable as the dozens of YouTube videos of past Jimny's in action around the world, will attest.
With 45 years of Suzuki heritage and engineering, it's easy to see why the Jimny has become one of the most loveable compact 4x4's on the road today. Being five years in development, the brilliant new Jimny will undoubtedly continue to enjoy a cult following largely due to its genuine off-road capability and all round rugged cuteness.
The 2019 Jimny's negatives – and there remain a few – are tangible. But if you're looking for an affordable way into the off-road lifestyle with a genuine off-roader that defies luxo-barge modernity and over-styled vulgarity and can accept its minor shortcomings, then the all-new Jimny is for you.


Monday night's Flames game in Denver is a pay-per-view broadcast, which will feature the debut of Theoren Fleury as colour-man. Should be interesting.
Fantastic little piece by Duhatschek. As usual, it's essentially straight reporting and in no way reeks of opinion, but is the furthest thing from bland or impersonal.
Theo Fleury is a real piece of work. He will never be in the Hockey Hall of Fame, but the day his #14 goes up to the Saddledome rafters will be a great one. There is no occasion I can think of, apart from Flames Win Stanley Cup, that would be a greater thrill for me to attend. I suspect it isn't going to happen, though, until Fleury has proven beyond reasonable skepticism that his life is sound and stable. You wouldn't want to do it and then 3 months later see him arrested for public intoxication and assault on a police officer... and besides, he'll probably appreciate it more with some perspective anyway.
Interesting stretch the Flames are headed into here. The next 8 games are one home and one away game against each of the Flames' 4 division rivals. Tonight? The Flames have always had good success against MIN, even on the road (you may recall they won back-to-back games there in March, and the other 2 last season were shootout losses).
I'm predicting a 3-2 Shootout Win; it'd be awfully nice if Owen Nolan could be one of the goal scorers (dude needs a break to get him going, I think). Go Flames.
Theo should be in the Hall of Fame. Retiring his number in Calgary is a no-brainer. No one has worn #14 since Theo. I doubt any player would dare ask to wear #14 for Calgary.
However you may feel about him, you have to admit he was a great player. He is still the all-time scorer in Flames history.
I'm pretty sure that the first Falmes games I ever attended was a pre-season game in Theo's first year.
It was well before Joe Fan could read things like Lowetide and his ilk to know anything about non-roster players. Instead, I remember the crowd all looking around saying "Who the hell is that tiny little firecracker and is he going to actually make this team?"
His biography is dynamite too.
I think that he's got a case for the Hall of Fame too. 450+ goals, 600+ assists...he's well above someone like Glenn Anderson, given when he played. I know that he had his problems but lots of guys in the Hall of Fame had their problems.
As much as I hated the guy from the time he did that dance after G6 in the '91 BOA, I respected the hell out of his abilites and his determination. I can't see why a guy shouldn't make the Hall just becuase he was drunk and a coozehound.
Anyway, this whole Flames PPV thing is very intriguing. Theo apparently doesn't like hockey but he's going to do colour anyway and given the possibility that he's paired with the brazenly buxom Roger Millions, what might happen???
I agree, boo Flames ... but Theo was definitely a gamer.
Small guy but big production. He could go to the hall. But, his act would need to be clean for sure.
Was it the Nagano olympics that he was by far the best player?? I believe it was. He made things happen when he was out there.
Little rat-fink ... go Oilers.
"Flames Win Stanley Cup...I suspect it isn't going to happen..."
There is no occasion I can think of, apart from Flames Win Stanley Cup, that would be a greater thrill for me to attend. I suspect it isn't going to happen, though, until Fleury has proven beyond reasonable skepticism that his life is sound and stable.
Actually, if you read it over again, Colby's point is pretty strong. And it's a compelling reason for Flames fans to make sure Theo's life is in order.
Also, most of the radio patents belong to Tesla, not Marconi.

Divided government likely would produce moderate policies.
Initial market reactions to the US election results have been favorable, but the potential remains for near-term volatility.
If Republicans keep control of the Senate after two runoff elections in Georgia, divided government could impede the Biden administration's legislative agenda.
GOP Senate control almost certainly would rule out any significant tax increases. The Biden presidency might focus more on regulation and foreign policy.
After an initial period of uncertainty, recent steps by the Trump administration to cooperate in the transition seem to guarantee the inauguration of Joe Biden as president on January 20, 2021. Two runoff elections in Georgia on January 5 will determine the balance of power in the Senate. Currently, a continuation of divided government appears most likely, with Democrats having narrowly retained control of the House.
While capital markets appear to have reacted positively to these results, the postelection transition, while formally underway, creates a potential for market volatility. However, T. Rowe Price investment professionals believe that other issues, such as the potential rollout of coronavirus vaccines, are likely to be more critical in the months ahead.
"I think eyes will remain more on the response to COVID than on politics," says John Linehan, CIO, Equity.
Election and Policy Issues
With Congress entering the "lame duck" period before President-elect Biden's inauguration, markets will focus on the prospect for additional fiscal relief. Negotiations on such a package broke down shortly before the election.
Katie Deal, the Equity Division's Washington analyst, sees only a "slim chance" of significant fiscal legislation before the end of 2020, with negotiations beginning in earnest for a 2021 stimulus package. Given the slim majority either party may hold in the upcoming Senate, Democrats will struggle to match their previous USD 2.2 trillion package, which failed to move beyond the House.
Divided government likely will dominate the fiscal picture in 2021—assuming Republicans hold at least one of the two Georgia Senate seats headed for runoff elections. "In a GOP Senate, a proposed tax rate increase of any magnitude would be dead on arrival," Linehan predicts.
In a divided government, the fiscal debate eventually could return to the question of what to do about exploding federal deficits, suggests Mark Vaselkiv, CIO, Fixed Income. For now, however, both parties appear to recognize a need for fiscal accommodation. Failure to pass additional fiscal stimulus early next year could increase the risk of a double-dip recession, Vaselkiv warns.
While capital markets appeared to have reacted positively to these results, the postelection transition creates a potential for market volatility.
Outlook for Monetary Policy
One significant factor that the election almost certainly will not change is the Fed's massive liquidity support for the economy and the capital markets, which has pushed credit spreads down and enabled a surge in both investment-grade and high yield corporate debt. "What the Fed has done has been extraordinary," Vaselkiv notes.
Yet, despite surging liquidity, short-term and long-term Treasury yields have remained relatively low and stable—a sign that inflation expectations are still muted. This could allow the Fed to avoid raising rates through 2024 and perhaps even into 2025, Vaselkiv adds.
Regulatory and Trade Policy
With major fiscal initiatives less likely in a divided government scenario, the Biden administration might look to regulatory policy to advance its agenda. This could include efforts to shift the US energy base away from fossil fuels and toward renewables. While new energy regulation could deter capital spending in the sector, it might have an offsetting benefit of reducing supply and boosting energy prices, Linehan says.
Major changes in health care policy—such as adding a public insurance option to the Affordable Care Act—appear unlikely, Deal says. And while both parties have expressed interest in regulating the big technology platform companies, their proposals are very different, making quick action doubtful.
Trade policy is another area where the new administration might try to differentiate itself, Deal says. Biden has expressed a desire for normalized relationships with traditional US trading partners, such as the European Union, Japan, and South Korea. However, China may prove a different case. Biden may find it politically difficult to roll back Trump's tariff regime without first making demonstrable progress with Beijing, Deal argues.
Capital Market Implications
For equity investors, the election is unlikely to change the trend toward wide return dispersion—especially between growth and value—that has gapped wider over the past year. However, much depends on the course of the pandemic. Further vaccine progress and stronger economic growth potentially could benefit cyclical sectors such as energy, Linehan says.
In US credit markets, low interest rates, declining default rates, and Fed liquidity support are likely to remain positive factors in the postelection period. However, longer-term Treasury yields could drift higher in early 2021 if the economic recovery accelerates, Vaselkiv says.
A steeper yield curve should improve net lending margins—and, thus, profitability—for banks and other lenders. However, even a modest rise could produce capital losses on longer-duration securities, he warns. He suggests that investors may want to consider high yield bonds and floating rate bank loans, which are less sensitive to duration risk.
The potential costs of shifting in and out of asset classes in response to shorter-term political events can be steep.
— Mark Vaselkiv, CIO, Fixed Income
Although continuing political uncertainty raises short-term issues for US and global capital markets, we believe that most investors would be best off focusing on their long-term investment strategies.
Historically, US equity market performance has been relatively consistent across presidents from both parties, Linehan notes, suggesting a long-term perspective is most appropriate. The potential costs of shifting in and out of asset classes in response to shorter-term political events can be steep, Vaselkiv adds.
"It's very easy to get consumed by the election results," Linehan says. "But we think having a balanced approach to investing, and being thoughtful and careful, could be critical to long-term investment success."

The City of Vaughan regulates parking so streets and walkways are safe and functional. The Parking By-law 1-96 (PDF) regulates a number of parking violations in the city.
Unless otherwise posted, parking is not allowed for more than three hours between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. and prohibited on all streets between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
Valid accessible parking permits allow people to park in disabled spaces, but do not provide exemptions from other parking violations such as fire routes.
Permits must be valid on the date of parking and need to be displayed properly with the front of the permit clearly visible (face-up on the dashboard or attached to a turned-down sun visor).
During snow events (minimum five centimetres of snowfall), vehicles should be parked on driveways to help plows and salt trucks effectively remove snow from roads. Failure to do so may result in a ticket and/or towing at the owner's expense.
Parking is enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year long. Enforcement officers patrol the city issuing tickets for parking violations. Parking may also be enforced by York Regional Police.

In 1992, a group of community activists in S. Paulo felt moved by the impoverishment of part of S. Paulo's population, especially regarding those who were in a very unfavorable condition, without resources to provide for their basic needs of nourishment. In homage to the 90th anniversary of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, a Rabbi who preached for fraternal love amongst human beings and taught that we live in a world where actions are of extreme importance. Developing a series of charity programs, Instituição Beneficente Israelita Ten Yad which means "reach out your hand" in Hebrew, was born.
With a simple structure, nevertheless completely focused on quality and on the philosophy of exercising goodness, Ten Yad initiated its activities in May 1992, on the first floor of a rented building in Ribeiro de Lima Street, at the Bom Retiro neighborhood, with a kitchen and a board placed on two wooden stands for a table. The place was named "Eshel Menachem Soup Kitchen" (Eshel is an acrostic standing for three words in Hebrew: eat, drink, accompany).
Despite its humble beginning, the institution had already developed the parameters that would serve as guidelines for the next 20 years, and that would ratify its actions: a confidential selection of the assisted, with interviews carried out by social workers and, above all, total respect for its users.
In 1994, Ten Yad received an additional floor in the building and set up a convivial room for the assisted, which offered a program of cultural and recreational activities. During that same year, the Social Service noticed a significant demand of people who were unable to reach the soup kitchen due to displacement problems. A new pioneer program was introduced, the Meals on Wheels Program, which delivers complete meals to the homes of the assisted.
Between 1997 and 1998, thorough surveys carried out by the institution revealed what was called the 'new poverty', amongst a population of younger families. The Dairy Kit, Meat Kit, Staple Basket, and other methods of food distribution were introduced, such as the Food Card.
In 2000, the Weekend Delivery Program was created with the aim of preserving typical foods served during Shabbat, an important weekly celebration of Jewish tradition. During this same year, the Government of the State of S. Paulo through its Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply, with Ten Yad's know how, jointly developed the Bom Prato popular restaurant in the 25 de Março Street area. Also the City Hall of S. Paulo, initially through the Secretariat of Health, and later through the Secretariat of Assistance and Social Development with its Program of Domiciliary Food Security for the elderly, adopted the Meals on Wheels Program.
All of the efforts and search for quality led Ten Yad to be awarded with the Bem Eficiente (Very Efficient) Award, granted by Kanitz & Associates to 50 outstanding organizations for their model administration during the years of 1999, 2000, 2005, and 2006, and with the ISO 9001:2008 certificate managing a series of norms that establish quality management to an institution. Ten Yad's Communal Soup Kitchen and Meals on Wheels Program were also highlighted during the Betinho Award of the Municipal Chamber of S. Paulo in the years of 2004 and 2011, figuring amongst the five best welfare programs of the city.
Thanks to the care, dedication and generosity of supporters, donors, volunteers, employees and its board of directors, Ten Yad is operating, since December, 2011, in its privately owned headquarters located in the Bom Retiro neighborhood, where it continues to honor, even more energetically, its commitments with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals: to eradicate hunger and misery, and provide dignity to the lives of many needy.
