As línguas altaicas são um conjunto de idiomas falados entre a Turquia e a Ásia Oriental, passando pela Mongólia e a Sibéria.

Atualmente, a maioria dos linguistas rejeitam a existência de um ancestral comum a todos os idiomas altaicos, de modo que as similaridades entre eles podem ter decorrido de um contato histórico mútuo.

Existem várias versões propostas desta família. Todas as versões incluem as Línguas turcomanas, as Línguas mongólicas e as Línguas tungúsicas ("Micro-Altaica") e uma minoria de origem ocidental inclui também as Línguas japônicas e a Língua coreana ("Macro-Altaica"). O nome da família provém dos Montes Altai, na Ásia Central.

A família Micro-Altaica inclui cerca de 66 idiomas vivos, enquanto a Macro-Altaica inclui cerca de 74. Há estimativas diferentes dependendo do que se considera como idioma autônomo ou um dialeto. Alguns linguistas como Joseph Greenberg e John C. Street também consideravam como pertencente a esta família a Língua ainu, atualmente em processo de extinção.

História da teoria altaica

A família altaica, sob o nome "Tatar", foi postulada em 1849 pela primeira vez por Schott como um grupo de idiomas compreendendo os grupos turcomano, mongólico e tungústico. Usou o nome "altaico" para o que atualmente se conhece como as Família Uralo-Altaica, que atualmente é contestada pela maioria dos linguistas. Castrés propôs em 1862 teorias semelhantes, mas classificando o grupo túrquico junto às línguas urálicas.

Em 1857, Anton Boller propôs a inclusão no grupo altaico do coreano e do japonês. Em 1920, G. J. Ramstedt e E. D. Polivanov propuseram mais etimologias para o coreano. O grupo de idiomas japônico está geralmente relacionado com o coreano. Em 1971, Roy Miller propôs uma superfamília linguística que teria originado, separadamente, o coreano, o japonês e as línguas altaicas. A proposta foi desenvolvida por outros linguistas como Sergei Starostin.

O ainu, falado no norte do Japão, foi também relacionado com as línguas altaicas (Street (1962) e Patrie (1982)), mas as investigações mais recentes apontam uma maior probabilidade de que o Ainu seja uma língua austro-asiática.

Controvérsias
Os opositores à existência da família altaica (geralmente denominados de "escola anti-altaica") afirmam que a teoria se baseia principalmente em similaridades tipológicas, como a harmonia vocálica, a ausência de gênero gramatical e a morfologia aglutinante, fenômeno também observado nas línguas urálicas (daí a antiga teoria das línguas uralo-altaicas). Starostin chegou a compilar um dicionário de termos cognatos entre os cinco grupos de idiomas, mas alguns linguistas como Bernard Comrie (1981) afirmam que essas palavras cognatas parecem ser provenientes de empréstimos. Por outro lado, defensores da teoria altaica afirmam que as correlações tipológicas e gramaticais são uma evidência mais forte de parentesco do que palavras cognatas, uma vez que empréstimos entre idiomas podem acontecer muito facilmente.

There's been a big drop in the number of Swedes who say they back their home country being in the EU, according to a survey for pollsters TNS Sifo commissioned by Swedish public broadcaster SVT.
Only 39 percent of Swedes think it's a 'good idea' that Sweden is in the European Union, pollsters found, compared to 59 percent in autumn 2015.
Meanwhile 21 percent said they thought EU membership was a 'bad idea', while the remainder suggested they were unsure.
The huge fall in support for the European project is most likely due to the ongoing refugee crisis, experts told SVT as the findings were released on Monday.
"People are listening to public officials and in Sweden there has been criticism from politicians on what the EU does and does not do when it comes to the refugee crisis," Göran von Sydow, a political scientist and researcher at the Swedish Institute for European Policy Studies, said.
Sweden's Social Democrat Prime Minister Stefan Löfven last year repeatedly asked other EU nations to grant more people asylum as his own country took in record numbers of people fleeing war and conflict.
When they didn't act voluntarily, he wrote a letter to the European Commission, asking for some of the refugees arriving in the Nordic nation to be distributed to other countries in the 28-member bloc.
However this idea was thrown out as part of the settlement agreed in March which focused on sending back refugees arriving in Greece from Turkey.
In the meantime, Sweden reinstated border checks and introduced tighter residency rules after local municipalities said they could no longer guarantee accommodation to all new arrivals.
Refugee numbers have dropped dramatically since the shift, with around 500 to 600 people making the journey to Sweden each week, compared to 10,000 last autumn, according to official figures from the country's migration agency, Migrationsverket.
TNS Sifo's poll in Sweden asked 1142 people aged between 18 and 79: "What do you think in general about Sweden being a member of the EU?"
The results emerge as similar surveys in the UK indicate that the upcoming referendum on EU membership will be a close race. A YouGov poll released last week suggested that 40 percent of Brits will vote to remain in the EU, while 39 percent support the country leaving and the rest are undecided or do not plan to vote.


Lem: Yes, yes... it is certainly most honourable, but I am more convinced by the evidence of a failed relationship.
Bella: Lem, the pollution of the seas is a topic and Willem could become irreplaceable for all of us with his ideas. That was a hint from fate that we stumbled upon this murder.
Lem: But that's nonsense. He just had problems with his mistress. And then it happened. Plastic bag over his head. Finished! Now it even has become a fashionable accessory.
Bella: But we have a serious column, that has a responsibility.
Lem: It's obvious: ephemeral passion. That is a motif!
Bella: But that's up to the police to find out. We don't care anymore. We should think about the sustainability of fashion. That should be the priority of our blog. This is the way we will get more readers. Think about water consumption, only in the fashion industry sector, it will increase by 50% until 2030! That's unbelievable. We have to change something!
Lem: Nice! In your so-called future we will be much older than now. I don't want to hear the year 2030 again. I prefer to live in the here and now. You can't change everything. And certainly not by such a boring moralistic-acid blog that only deals with sustainability. Imagine if we are successful and solve this murder case? And in time, before 2030!
Bella: But the police is certainly one step ahead.
Lem: I'm not sure that they already know everything.
Bella: But you got the latest information from the newspaper, didn't you?
Lem: We got a mail.
Bella: Oh Lem, you are careless, we wanted to keep our incognito.
Bella: I should have read that too.
Lem: Maybe you haven't looked in our spam folder for a long time.
and the reference to a aged woman over 50.
Bella: Over 50? That's not old!
Lem: From today's point of view, she's almost mummified. When I think about how many neckerchiefs I already need to cover the wrinkles, I share this view.
Lem: The mail word-for-word made clear: Student had an affair with his 55 year old professor.
Bella: But aren´t you worried about it that someone is giving us a clue! If you'd just kept your hands off the drawings, we could contact the police.
We have to give them the tip anonymously!
Lem: No! Then we find out nothing! I'll follow that lead. You can still read articles about sustainability and responsibility in fashion. But that doesn't help us.


There was pain, so much pain, on Monday's episode of The Bachelorette.
Not only did Chicken Man David and big-hearted NFL player Clay end up in hospital, viewers lost out on a chunk of the show when ABC interrupted the broadcast so we could watch a different first date, that of U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Sure, they had more chemistry than, say, Becca Kufrin and Jordan, but how annoying that we didn't get to see the much-promoted footage of David getting carted away to hospital — just a bloody towel on the floor, the men sitting around the mansion acting concerned and host Chris Harrison breaking the news to Becca.
At least Clay was injured actually doing something, although it's pretty ironic that a guy who plays football for a living got hurt trying to win some bogus game in the so-called Becca Bowl. And Clay's team didn't win, they tied. And then Clay had to leave the show because he needed surgery for his wrist.
As for David? He fell out of a bunk bed face first. Yup. And despite all Jordan's talk about karma it had absolutely nothing to do with the bad blood, pun intended, between him and David.
The night's other big plot had to do with the manufactured triangle between Becca, her old Bachelor castmate Tia and Colton. To no one's surprise — uh, hello, ABC? you already showed us promos of Becca and Colton kissing — Colton got to hang around.
Here's a look at the episode highlights.
Group date No. 1: Let's be honest, this date had nothing to do with Becca's "girls" sussing out the guys for her and everything to do with stringing out the silly "Will Becca send Colton home?" story line by putting Becca, Colton and Tia in the same room. The premise was that Becca had invited Tia and her other friends Caroline, Bekah, Seinne and Kendall to a spa where Colton, Wills, Jason, Jordan, David and Jean Blanc were providing the services: manicures, pedicures, neck massages and the like.
Of course, Colton and Tia were both nervous about seeing each other, but it's not like they had an actual relationship. Tia told Becca that all they ever did was kiss and then, within days, Colton told Tia he had applied to be on The Bachelorette so they decided to just stay friends.
Then Becca wondered aloud if Colton had applied for the show assuming Tia would be the Bachelorette, which seems like a fair question — but one that Becca never asked Colton. Instead, after Colton assured Becca that his emotions for her were strong she decided she wanted to get to know him, and by get to know him she meant attach herself to his lips. And then she gave him the date rose, which put the lie to all that nonsense about sending him home.
Becca also smooched corporate banker Jason, which was the least she could do considering she forgot his name when she introduced him to her friends.
I'm not sure how Becca kept a straight face. Jason and Wills couldn't. It was all they could do not to spit out their drinks as David and Jordan sparred (David: "What's the look I'm getting right now? Is it the pensive look?") and Jordan raved about his "professionality" and his three-year contract with Wilhelmina Models.
One-on-one date: This date with sales trainer Chris, a visit to Capitol Records, was about as by-the-Bachelorette-book as they come. We had the obligatory encounter with a past their best-before date celebrity, in this case singer-songwriter Richard Marx. We had a silly activity meant to force the couple into a kind of faux intimacy: writing a love song for each other. We had an obstacle to the contestant being "vulnerable": Chris was rejected by his estranged father after writing him a letter. "I don't want to get hurt again," Chris said solemnly.
Oh dear. Richard declared that Chris had "dropped the mic" (can we retire that overused term please?) and he might have been smiling, but it was hard to tell through all the plastic surgery. He set the treacly phrases to music, and Chris and Becca kissed. I'm sure there was more touchy-feely talk at dinner, but we missed all that thanks to the Trump and Kim Show.
Group date No. 2: Considering that two of Becca's suitors are current and former pro football players, and one is a football analyst, it was inevitable we'd have a football date. So NFLer Clay suited up with Christon, Leo, Connor, Blake, Garrett, Ryan, Mike, John and Lincoln for the so-called Becca Bowl.
Becca was getting turned on watching Clay in his natural element, but he got hurt running a late-game touchdown and was carted off to hospital. Becca took her mind off Clay's absence at the cocktail party by doing plenty of smooching. Garrett, Leo and Blake all got lip action, especially Blake, her first one-on-one. "Blake called me his girlfriend tonight, I felt so giddy," Becca enthused.
But Clay had one more play in his book. He left hospital early to come see Becca, guaranteeing the date rose would be his. Better luck next time, Garrett and Blake.
The cocktail party: Is it just me or did Becca's mood seem to improve in proportion to the physical pain of her bachelors? She was bubbling away about her future husband being in the group. She even kissed fitness coach Connor after they played "baseball" on the patio. But then Clay brought her way down.
It turned out Clay needed immediate surgery on his wrist. To not have it could risk his career and the money he provided to his family, he told Chris. But Becca was "the type of girl I've been looking for my whole life." Nonetheless, the choice was clear. You don't risk your living for someone you've known a few weeks, particularly when she's still dating 16 other men.
Becca cried what seemed to be real tears after Clay gave back his rose and left. "Honestly, like I have nothing left. I'm just done," she said. Seems a little extreme, but OK.
We didn't see the rose ceremony. We know David comes back next week; Becca spends time with Lincoln and Garrett; Chris does something to annoy Colton; and Becca gets so ticked at someone she threatens to send guys home if they're not honest with her.

Letters to the Editor: 'Refugees revitalise societies in which they are able to settle'
'Time is ripe to remember refugees have been throughout history an indispensable force for positive transformation' Stock image
I commend you for drawing attention to the unspeakable suffering of refugees beset by persecution, violence, verbal, physical and psychological harassment, homelessness, evictions, abject poverty, bankruptcy, racism, discrimination for reasons of race, religion, nationality and political persuasion.
https://www.independent.ie/opinion/letters/letters-to-the-editor-refugees-revitalise-societies-in-which-they-are-able-to-settle-38301963.html
https://www.independent.ie/incoming/article38302061.ece/4f7dd/AUTOCROP/h342/37Facts.jpg
Regrettably, this has been one of the most ineradicable, cruel and dark chapters in the history of humanity. Global powers like the US and the UK can be blamed for selling armaments to thuggish regimes embroiled in war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Time is ripe to remember refugees have been throughout history an indispensable force for positive transformation and like Albert Einstein, Thomas Hobbes and Voltaire they have often brought with them a plethora of intellectual wealth and economic prosperity that helped sustain host communities and enrich humankind at large.

Prisoners show power of positive experience in jail
People in prisons are hardly ever spoken about in the media and when they are it is very rarely positive. I just want to share with your readers an experience I had in visiting Wheatfield recently.
Nine prisoners were graduating from a course run by the Red Cross.
This course involved the prisoners learning about how to tackle issues like addiction, poor mental health, racism and violence as well as how to do first aid and CPR.
The course not only involved learning how to tackle these issues appropriately, but also teaching their new-found knowledge to fellow prisoners. The course emphasises our shared humanity by respecting others and contributing to society in a positive way.
I was there on behalf of the Irish Cancer Society to accept a hugely impressive donation of €1,348.29 raised by these nine exemplary prisoners. How positive is that!

Pamplona bull run a cruel and sub-human tradition
I watched the Pamplona bull run video on your site yesterday. Every time I see such videos my blood boils.
This barbaric event sees the terrified bulls forced to run to the very place they will be sent into a bull ring, where they will be savagely speared and weakened by mounted horsemen before being put to death by what is supposed to be a brave matador facing a charging bull.
In reality the beast is just a half-dead weakened animal being put to death by a man carrying out a sub-human activity.
But there are uplifting moments during the runs when the bulls get a chance to dish out some payback.

Leaking UK ambassador's emails was a public service
WHOEVER leaked the cables concerning British ambassador to Washington Kim Darroch and his comments about US President Donald Trump was doing a public service with an honest appraisal of an unstable president. That Julian Assange of Wikileaks should be facing extradition to America simply for revealing similar, truthful information is most unjust and inhumane.

Ireland cannot tolerate a no-deal failure by UK and EU
Simon Coveney said a no deal is an ugly prospect that will put jobs and businesses at risk and people under a great deal of strain. Tell us something we don't know, Simon.
The Foreign Affairs Minister made the comments as the Government released its latest contingency plans on how to react if the UK crashes out of the EU.
The return to a hard Border in Northern Ireland would be a political failure by both the British government and the EU and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
A no-deal Brexit would result in far-reaching change on the island of Ireland .

No more txting & driving 4U?
Nancy Reardon
Texting behind the wheel – be it a car, a trolley or a bus – is gaining attention on Beacon Hill as a huge public safety risk, and some lawmakers are urging quick action to ban it.
Thirteen lawmakers have sent letters to the Legislature's transportation committee urging it to hold a hearing as soon as possible on a ban on texting while driving. Their letters came two and a half weeks after the operator of a Green Line trolley crashed into the back of another trolley and admitted to sending a text message at the time of the collision.
A texting ban was passed last week by the Senate as an amendment to its version of the state budget bill for the fiscal year starting July 1. A similar bill failed to pass last session, but lawmakers say the issue has greater urgency now.
State Sen. Robert Hedlund, the only South Shore lawmaker on the transportation committee and a motorcyclist, said he supports the ban.
"I'm amazed at the number of times I see someone wandering across the yellow line, which shows what type of distraction it has proven to be," the Weymouth Republican said.
Hedlund, who spoke to the Patriot Ledger in a phone interview Tuesday, acknowledged that he was driving his car while being interviewed.
He said that one problem he foresees with the legislation is how police will enforce it.
"How do you tell if someone is dialing a number and not texting?" he said.
The proposed legislation would deal only with texting while driving, not talking on a cell phone while driving.
Hedlund said many of his Senate colleagues are "addicted to their Blackberry and iPhone" and violate the Senate's own ban on cell phone usage while in the State House chamber.
Hedlund said he wouldn't call himself a "huge advocate" for an entirely hands-free law – meaning drivers would be required to use headphones or ear pieces to speak on cell phones while driving – but said if it came up, he would vote for it.
"We need to take some type of precaution because it's getting out of control," he said.
Nationwide, about 270 million people are wireless subscribers and send a whopping one trillion text messages in a year, according to statistics from the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association.
Data is scarce on how many accidents are caused each year by texting drivers.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that driver distraction from all sources – not just texting – contributes to 25 percent of all motor vehicle accidents that are reported by police.
"Research shows that driving while using a cell phone can pose a serious cognitive distraction and degrade driver performance," according to the federal agency's cell phone policy.
But "the data are insufficient to quantify crashes caused by cell phone use specifically," the Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
Two weeks ago, the MBTA banned trolley, bus and subway operators from carrying cell phones and other electronic devices on the job.
MBTA General Manager Daniel Grabauskas took action after 24-year-old Aiden Quinn, a 2002 Quincy High graduate, crashed his trolley into another car on May 8, sending 49 passengers to local hospitals with minor injuries.

At the moment, there is a tremendous need for servants who have a life which is clean and filled with the Holy Spirit, whose faith is based on a profound study of the Holy Scriptures and which are ready to serve the Lord in the society as well as in the church. The bachelor program in pastoral theology has the task of preparing such servants.
To give biblical knowledge to students by taking into consideration the historical and cultural context; getting familiarized with the fundamentals of theology and general disciplines; learning the biblical languages (Greek and Hebrew) and also Romanian, Russian and English.
They are good knowers of the Holy Scriptures, of the historical and theological context in which the Old and New Testament have been written. They know the fundamental doctrines of evangelical Christianity in Romanian, Russian and English.
UDG graduates are good scouts in the labyrinth of the preeminent worldview concepts, having a well-established biblical concept.
They have the necessary instruments and the capacity to offer spiritual help to the members of the church and of the society.
The bachelor program in pastoral theology is spread over a period of 3 years and it encompasses the following activities: summer practice, youth meetings with spiritual and ethical contents, academic conferences where students are involved together with professors in various activities. The educational process combines very well the didactic process with the practical activity of the students.
The faculty of the theological program is a friendly family with professors which are well prepared academically, having Master and PhD degrees, with a rich, practical experience. We have 36 teachers from Moldova and from abroad involved in teaching.
The leadership of the university puts as much effort as possible in improving studying conditions, investing in equipment and classrooms with the purpose of creating an environment which welcomes studying.

Angel Moroni Raising
On October 24, 2012, the construction of the Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple reached a major milestone with the installation of the angel Moroni statue atop the spire.
Groundbreaking Ceremony
Ground was broken for the Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple on Saturday, June 18, 2011, where Elder Walter F. González presided, accompanied by Elder William R. Walker, Executive Director of the Temple Department. The event marked the formal commencement of construction of Florida's second temple.
Construction Approval
In May 2010, Church representatives submitted a master planned site plan to the Town of Davie for the Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple and a bordering 13-lot residential development of one-acre equestrian lots named Shotgun East Estates.
On June 10 and 14, 2010, public participation meetings were held for neighbors living within a 1,000-foot radius of the property. Discussion focused on the operation of the temple, clarifying that it would not be a "worship center" and that there would be no school, daycare, restaurant, or lodging facilities on site. Traffic concerns were allayed as attendees came to understand that the temple would function for small-scale ceremonial and educational activities only—a welcomed contrast to the previously proposed middle school for the site. The main concern was height and lighting of the temple spire so that it did not appear to loom over the community. The Church agreed to prepare a site line view from the middle of the adjacent Riverstone development.
On October 27, 2010, plans were presented at the Board of Commissioners Meeting of the Central Broward Water Control District. This organization reviews proposed drainage and retention plans and gives approval prior to final site plan approval.
In reviewing plans for the project, staff offered the following recommendations: (1) Change the proposed 6-foot high masonry wall to a fence material that is consistent within the rural lifestyle, green or black chain-link fence. (2) Relocate the house of worship building as far to the west as possible, and relocate all proposed bodies of water at the eastern portion of the site, as far as possible from any existing residential use. (3) Utilize the code provision that allows up to 25 percent grass parking for houses of worship in order to reduce the amount of concrete surface areas. (4) Remove the sidewalk adjacent to both drop-off areas; it appears to be in conflict with both pedestrian and vehicular movement patterns. (5) Add features to the utility building consistent with the architectural. (6) Relocate one Bischofia, two pond apple trees, four existing live oaks and five queen palms onto the Latter-day Saints Temple development. (7) Meet the specified conditions for proposed drainage easements within the residential lots.
On November 9, 2010, plans were presented to the Town of Davie Site Plan Committee. A motion carried to recommend project approval subject to the following comments: (1) that this is subject to staff recommendations numbers one, four, five, and seven (above), and in lieu of recommendation number six, the applicant will mitigate to the tree fund; (2) on the residential plan, on lot number one, there would be no driveways closer than 125-feet from the eastern property line of lot number one, and there will be no driveways on lots 13 and 10 onto the main entrance road, but the driveways will access off the cul-de-sac street; (3) a landscape island will be installed in each cul-de-sac with landscaping to be determined by staff and applicant subject to the restrictions which may be placed on it by the utilities on the cul-de-sacs; (4) on the temple site, there will be no lighting on the building above 52 feet and all lighting will be subject to Code and Night Sky Ordinances; (5) the applicant will add sidewalk textured materials to connect the sidewalks and the driveways; and (6) the applicant will relocate the sidewalk that leads to the drop-off area to the landscape island which is south of that sidewalk.
On January 26, 2011, the Town of Davie Planning & Zoning Board was presented the plat for Shotgun East Estates and held a public hearing on three requests submitted by legal representatives, John D. Voigt and C. William Laystrom, and by current owner, GL Homes of Davie Associates IV, Ltd. The requests included (1) the vacation of the plat recorded by GL Homes on December 10, 2003, (2) the rezoning of the residential portion of the property from Community Facility to Agricultural District, and (3) a variance to increase the maximum allowable building height from 42 feet to 116 feet to accommodate the temple spire.
On February 16, 2011, the Town Council (view video) considered numerous requests related to the approval of the temple and Shotgun East Estates:
Developer's Agreement: An amendment to release the agreement restricting use of the site to a public school.
Developer's Agreement: A resolution to place restrictions on Shotgun East Estates including that (1) the parcels be subject to master plan development approval, (2) the Church provide a restrictive convenant providing for the maintenance of all common master plan elements, (3) the residential units be comparable in size, style, and value to the Riverstone development east of Shotgun Road, (4) the Church agree to comply with all other conditions imposed by the Town Council at final approval, and (5) the agreement be binding on all successors.
Developer's Agreement: A resolution to waive the Affordable Housing Incentive Program requirements due to the small number of lots and the conflicting requirement that units be comparable to those of the Riverstone development.
Delegation Request: An amendment to remove the non-vehicular access line (NVAL) along Shotgun Road.
Delegation Request: An amendment to the restrictive note on the Shotgun East plat.
Replat: Approval to replat the northern portion of the site for a new single-family home community known as Shotgun East Estates.
Master Plan: Master plan approval for a new single-family residential community and house of worship.
Vacation: An ordinance to vacate a portion of a right-of-way to allow for a deceleration lane.
Rezoning: An ordinance to rezone the northern portion of the site from CF (Community Facility) to A-1 (Agricultural).
Variance: Approval to increase the maximum height of a steeple to 100 feet.
During the public hearing, a resident of the Riverstone development kindly reminded Church representatives of commitments made to the neighborhood including traffic routing, maintenance of the empty land, and lowering the steeple from 115 to 100 feet. A member of the Council commended the Church for its cooperation, which had made the neighborhood very happy. As a gesture of good will, the Church agreed to purchase and install a streetlamp at the roundabout entrance to the neighborhood within 60 days. The ordinances were approved without dissent, and the mayor said with a smile, "Welcome to Davie!"
On March 2, 2011, final Town Council approval for the Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple was received at a public hearing where a vacation ordinance and rezoning ordinance were given a required second reading. These ordinances had been approved at their first reading on February 16, 2011, along with numerous other related requests.
On April 7, 2011, a Special Warranty Deed was recorded by Broward County, which officially transferred ownership of the temple site from G.L. Homes of Davie Associates IV, Ltd. to the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Temple Design
The Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple is a 28,000-square-foot building described in application materials as "an interpretation of Neoclassicism with arches, columns and a steeple." The temple will feature a sun and palm tree motif with beautiful murals in the first-stage endowment room, inspired by local landscapes.
Temple Site
On Sunday, May 30, 2010, the location of the Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple site was disclosed at special stake firesides held in South Florida as a 30-acre triangular parcel in Davie, located at the south end of SW 154 Avenue (Shotgun Road), just north of the interchange of Griffin Road and Interstate 75. The Robbins – Vista View Trail borders the property along Shotgun Road, accommodating leisure activities to and from the site and providing access to numerous parks and other trails.
The prior developer of the site had platted the parcel as Shotgun East, which was approved by the Town Council on February 5, 2003, for a 240,000-square-foot middle school. Broward County code requires developers to provide for the educational needs of the future residents of their developments. So, when GL Homes of Davie Associates IV, Ltd. platted nearby South Post Plat, a 308-unit development, compliance with the code came in the form of platting Shotgun East, rezoning the land from A-1 (Agricultural) to CF (Community Facility), and executing a use agreement with the Town of Davie to restrict use of the site to a public school.
By 2009, the School Board had yet to devise plans or secure funding for the school, and the Church had come forward as an interested buyer in the property. Therefore, in accordance with the terms of the contract, the owner opted to deliver a Notice of Termination to the School Board on October 30, 2009, and to pay the required educational impact fees so that the property could be sold to the Church. An amendment to the use agreement was delivered to the Town of Davie requesting that the use restriction be removed, CF zoning be retained for the temple, and A-1 zoning be reinstated for the residential development.
Temple Announcement
On October 3, 2009, President Thomas S. Monson announced that Florida's second temple would be built in the area of Fort Lauderdale in southeastern Florida. The new temple will serve members living in South Florida and the Bahamas. Members in this region currently travel to the Orlando Florida Temple to participate in the Church's highest ordinances.1
Temple Facts
The Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple was the second temple built in Florida, following the Orlando Florida Temple (1994).
The Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple was named the ENR Southeast's "Best Projects" award winner for 2014 in the Cultural/Worship category.

Q: JSON - Get value of row's next column value This is the JSON structure of rows I get exported from a Google Sheets:
[
    {
        "COLUMN1HEADER": "V1",
        "COLUMN2HEADER": "response 1"
    },
    {
        "COLUMN1HEADER": "V2",
        "COLUMN2HEADER": "response 2"
    },
    {
        "COLUMN1HEADER": "V3",
        "COLUMN2HEADER": "response 3"
    }
]

The user input is equal to a COLUMN1HEADER value (for example, let input = 'V2') and from this string value I'm struggling to get the COLUMN2HEADER value ("response 2") as return.

A: Use Array.filter(), like this:
function test() {
  const searchValue = 'V2';
  const jsonData = `[
    {
      "COLUMN1HEADER": "V1",
      "COLUMN2HEADER": "response 1"
    },
    {
      "COLUMN1HEADER": "V2",
      "COLUMN2HEADER": "response 2"
    },
    {
      "COLUMN1HEADER": "V3",
      "COLUMN2HEADER": "response 3"
    }
  ]`;
  const data = JSON.parse(jsonData);
  const result = getFieldValue_({ data: data, searchKey: 'COLUMN1HEADER', searchValue: searchValue, resultKey: 'COLUMN2HEADER' });
  console.log(result);
}

function getFieldValue_({ data, searchKey, searchValue, resultKey } = {}) {
  const matches = data.filter(obj => obj[searchKey] === searchValue);
  if (!matches.length) {
    return null;
  }
  const firstMatch = matches[0];
  return firstMatch[resultKey];
}

A: You could created the JSON like this:
function getData() {
  const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  const sh = ss.getActiveSheet();
  const vs = sh.getDataRange().getValues();
  Logger.log(JSON.stringify( {"values":vs}));
}

{values:[["COLUMN1HEADER","COLUMN2HEADER"],["V1","response 1"],["V2","response 2"],["V3","response 3"]]}

Then you would have an output similar to what Sheets API provides and you would be able to use setValues() to drop it right back into a spreadsheet.

Oseberg Ship: Astonishingly Well-Preserved Viking Burial Ship
The Vikings' ships were the greatest technical and artistic achievement of the European Dark Ages. Without these great ships the Viking Age would never had happened and the success of the Vikings would never have been as far-stretched.
Unfortunately, very few remains of Viking ships have been discovered. One Viking ship that can provide us with information about Viking burial customs, traditions, importance of certain artifacts as well as Viking technology is the Oseberg Ship that was discovered at Oseberg, Norway in 1904 by Knut Rom, a local farmer.
The Oseberg Ship is an astonishingly well-preserved Viking shi. It has been labeled as one of the finest finds of the Viking Age.
It was unearthed in a very damp burial mound which is the reason why the ship survived almost intact. The excavation of the Oseberg ship was led by Professor Gabriel Gustafson of the University's Collection of National Antiquities in Oslo. Naturally, a remarkable discovery like this one drew great interest from the public. It became necessary to secure the dig with a fence, signs and a guard to ensure that nobody disturbed the work or got too close to the remains.
The Oseberg ship – Viking Ship Museum, Norway
The excavation itself took less than three months, but it took 21 years to prepare and restore the ship and most of the finds. The ship was dried out very slowly before being put together.
he Oseberg Viking ship measured 21.40m long by 5.10m wide. It was constructed primarily out of oak planks and the vessel's bow and stern were covered in elaborate carvings, while it contained 15 pairs of oar holes which meant up to 30 men could row the ship as required.

The Oseberg ship was used as a burial ship for two Viking women who died in 834. A burial chamber was dug right behind the ship's mast. Inside, the walls were decorated with fantastic woven tapestries and the dead women lay on a raised bed.
The women had a number of burial gifts with them. There were personal items such as clothes, shoes and combs, ship's equipment, kitchen equipment, farm equipment, three ornate sledges and a working sledge, a wagon, five carved animal heads, five beds and two tents. There were fifteen horses, six dogs and two small cows.

Investigation of the skeletons showed that the older woman was about 70 to 80 when she died, probably of cancer. The other woman was younger, a little over 50. We do not know what she died of.
The identity of the two women remains a mystery. Some have speculated that one of the women may be Queen Åsa, the grandmother of Norway's first king, although this remains unproven.
To have received a prominent burial like this one, clearly suggest they must have held a special position in the community.

Were they political or religious leaders? Who was the most prominent person in the grave? Was one a sacrifice, to accompany the other into the kingdom of the dead? Were they related? Where did they come from? These are questions we cannot answer.

For whoever built the Oseberg ship, it must have been very important to make it a particularly handsome vessel. He or she used great resources in having the ship decorated. Beautiful animal ornamentation has been carved from the keel, down below the waterline, and up along the bow post, which ends in a snake's head of twisting spiral. Such a richly decorated ship must surely have been reserved for special members of the aristocracy.
The famous Oseburg 'Buddha'
The grave was disturbed in antiquity and any precious metals that may have been present were stolen, but there were still other ancient treasures left.

Several remarkable artifacts were found such as for example the famous Oseburg 'Buddha' who was sitting in the lotus position. The bucket is made from yew wood, held together with brass strips, and the handle is attached to two anthropomorphic figures compared to depictions of the Buddha in the lotus posture, although any connection is most uncertain. More relevant is the connection between the patterned enamel torso and similar human figures in the Gospel books of the Insular art of the British Isles, such as the Book of Durrow.

A remarkable collection of wooden and textile artifacts were left behind by the grave robbers. These included four elaborately decorated sleighs, a richly carved four-wheel wooden cart, three beds as well as a number of wooden chests. More mundane items such as agricultural and household tools were also found.
The Oseberg ship and its priceless ancient artifacts are on display at the Viking Ship Museum, Oslo, Norway.*

Not a sheep: 'Wilful ignorance' or 'deliberate belligerence' ?
'Wilful ignorance' or 'deliberate belligerence' ?
'Editor of the Jewish Chronicle, Stephen Pollard vented his anger on Twitter, and called the piece "awful".
Maajid Nawaz echoed some of the criticisms of Jeremy Corbyn on his LBC show.
He said: "How on earth did it not occur to Jeremy Corbyn, not occur to any of his inner circle advising him, that publishing a rebuttal to the allegations an hour before the beginning of the Sabbath, can only be perceived as anything but wilful ignorance?
"Those who don't want to give him the benefit of the doubt would believe this to be a form of deliberate belligerence.
One could fill a blog just with the antisemitic allegations that keep being made about Jeremy Corbyn. However the BBC continue to give the Labour Party leader the benefit of the doubt, not that I can see much doubt. Being little more than the propaganda arm of the BBC leaves the BBC with little choice.
I wonder if the Balen Report would have shown the BBC to be so biased against Israel as to fall foul of the IHRA antisemitism definition?

Components of the TFS data warehouse
The Team Foundation reporting warehouse is a traditional data warehouse consisting of a relational database organized in an approximate star schema and a SQL Server Analysis Services cube built on top of the relational database. The following diagram shows the high-level architecture of the Team Foundation data warehouse and the relationships between the operational stores, the data warehouse, and the team reports.
Operational stores
Each tool or plug-in in Team Foundation uses a relational database in SQL Server 2008 to store the data used by the tool in its day-to-day operations. This relational database is often referred to as the operational store. The operational stores for Team Foundation include:
Common structure databases (Tfs_Configuration)
Team project collection databases (Tfs_Collection)
You might also have operational stores created for third-party tools.
Like most operational stores, the schema of the relational database is designed and optimized for the online transactional processing of data. As the tool or plug-in performs an activity, it writes the latest information to the operational store. Therefore, data in the operational store is constantly changing and being updated, and all data is current.
Warehouse adapters
Because each tool or plug-in has its own schema requirements and data is stored in the operational store to optimize transactional processing, the purpose of the warehouse adapter is to put the operational data into a form usable by the data warehouse. The warehouse adapter is a managed assembly that extracts the data from the operational store, transforms the data to a standardized format compatible with the warehouse, and writes the transformed data into the warehouse relational database. There is a separate adapter for each operational data store.
The warehouse adapter copies and transforms those data fields specified in either the basic warehouse configuration or in the process template used at the time a new team project is created. If you subsequently change the process template to add or delete which data fields are written to the data warehouse, these changes are detected the next time the adapter is run. The adapter runs periodically with a frequency set by the RunIntervalSeconds property. The default setting for the refresh frequency is two hours (7,200 seconds), so give careful consideration to the appropriate refresh frequency for your installation. For more information about changing the refresh frequency, see Change a process control setting for the data warehouse or Analysis Services cube.
It is important that data is not written from the relational database to the data cube while the relational database is itself being updated from the operational store. To avoid conflicts reading and writing data, the warehouse adapters that push and pull the data are synchronized. After the adapters have completed their calls, the cube is reprocessed.
The relational database or data warehouse
Each tool describes its contribution to the data warehouse in an XML schema. The schema specifies the fields that are written to the relational database as dimensions, measures, and details. The schema is also mapped directly into the cube.
The data in the warehouse are stored in a set of tables organized in a star schema. The central table of the star schema is called the fact table, and the related tables represent dimensions. Dimensions provide the means for disaggregating reports into smaller parts. A row in a fact table usually contains either the value of a measure or a foreign key reference to a dimension table. The row represents the current state of every item covered by the fact table. For example, the Work Item fact table has one row for every work item stored in Work Item operational store.
A dimension table stores the set of values that exist for a given dimension. Dimensions may be shared between different fact tables and cubes, and they may be referenced by a single fact table or data cube. A Person dimension, for example, will be referenced by the Work Items fact table for Assigned To, Opened By, Resolved By, and Closed By properties, and it will be referenced by the Code Churn fact table for the Checked In By property.
Measures are values taken from the operational data. For example, Total Churn is a measure that indicates the number of source code changes in the selected changesets. Count is a special measure in that it can be implicit, as long as there is one record for every item that is counted. The measures defined in a fact table form a measure group in the cube.
For more information about the facts, dimensions, and measures in the data warehouse, see Perspectives and measure groups provided in the Analysis Services cube for Visual Studio.
The Analysis Services cube
Fact tables are a good source of information for reports that show the current state of affairs. However, to report on trends for data that changes over time, you need to duplicate the same data for each of the time increments that you want to report on. For example, to report on daily trends for work items or test results, the warehouse needs to retain the state of every item for each day. This allows the data cube to aggregate the measures by day. The cube aggregates both data from the underlying star schema and time data into multidimensional structures.
Each time the data cube is processed, the data stored in the star schemas in the relational database are pulled into the cube, aggregated, and stored. The data in the cube is aggregated so that high-level reports, which would otherwise require complex processing using the star schema, are simple select statements. The cube provides a central place to obtain data for reports without having to know the schema for each operational store and without having to access each store separately.
Report Designer reports
Report Designer is a component of Visual Studio that allows you to define the Team Foundation data warehouse as a data source and then design a report interactively. Report Designer provides tabbed windows for Data, Layout, and Preview, and you can add datasets to accommodate a new report design idea, or adjust report layout based on preview results. In addition to the Data, Layout, and Preview design surfaces, Report Designer provides query builders, an Expression editor, and wizards to help you place images or step you through the process of creating a simple report. For more information about using Report Designer, see Create, customize, and manage reports for Visual Studio ALM.
Excel reports
Team Foundation integrates with Microsoft Excel to allow you to use Microsoft Excel to manage your project and produce reports. Microsoft Excel provides pivot tables and charts for viewing and analyzing multi-dimensional data. You can bind these pivot tables directly to the Team Foundation cube, so you can interact with the data in the cube. For more information about using Microsoft Excel for reporting, see Create Excel reports from a work item query.
Security for the Team Foundation data warehouse is defined at the database level, while security for team reports is at the team project level. The Team Foundation Server administrator determines who has access to the data in the data warehouse by granting or revoking permissions on the user's account. By default, write access to the warehouse is restricted to a service account under which the warehouse service runs. Each tool adapter has write access to the data warehouse because it runs in this security context. Read-only access is granted by the administrator to individual users or groups of users. A user who has permission to view the data in the warehouse has full access to all of the data for all team projects in all team project collections. For more information about granting or denying read-only access to the data warehouse, see Grant permissions to view or create reports in TFS.

No matter how committed you may be to parenting gently, and no matter how much you love your kids, you're still a human, dealing with your own human emotions.
2. Slow down. I love this one because it seems so counter-intuitive. When everything's crazy, and you're in a hurry, and you're rushing around, and everything's going wrong… slowing down seems like the least helpful thing you can do. But it's essential to keeping your cool. Slow down, take a step a back, and regroup. You'll be more productive, you'll make less mistakes, and you'll be much less likely to say things you'll regret.
3. Focus on the current moment only. We are so, so good at stressing out about the past, and worrying about the future. So, so good! The problem is, it takes us out of the current moment, and makes it that much harder to respond with patience and calm. Breathe, slow down, and focus on making THIS moment a kind one. Just this one.
4. Put yourself in your child's shoes. Empathy is one of the greatest tools we have when it comes to relating to other people, our children included. How is she feeling right now? What is he going through? It is HARD to be a toddler (and a preschooler and a middle-schooler and a teenager). It's hard to be a human. Life can be frustrating. Remembering that your child is having a hard time with something goes a long way toward making it more about the person, and less about the behavior. It's not personal. They're not trying to annoy you. Rather, they're trying to communicate in the only way they know how at the moment. Remember a time you felt the same way, and treat your child the way you wish you'd been treated. They need your compassion, not your anger.

Israeli control of the UK security services? Part 1.
Imagine if a foreign power gains control of key people within the security services of your country and then arranges who occupies key positions within the government and then dictates foreign and domestic policy.
George Young was a top officer in Britain's MI6, military intelligence. Reportedly he is the man who organised the overthrow of Mossadeq in Iran.
According to Young, Soviet Russia, in 1946-7, supplied base facilities, arms and explosives to Jewish groups to operate against British targets.
(Source: The Wilson Plot, by David Leigh, 1988. Chapter 1.)
In 1946 the British security services issued this warning: "Members of the Stern group are now being organised and are under training. It is expected that they will be sent to the United Kingdom to assassinate important members of his majesty's government, particularly, Mr Bevin."
In 1946 a number of bombs exploded in London and an attempt was made to drop a bomb on the House of Commons from a hired plane.
Http://aangirfan.blogspot.com/2006/07/attempt-to-bomb-house-of-commons-in.html
Communist Russia, which had many Jews in top positions, was allied to the Jewish groups attacking Britain in Palestine and in the UK.
In 1946, Britain had a Labour government whose key figures were Prime Minister Clement Attlee and Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin.
According to David Leigh, in Chapter 1 of The Wilson Plot, Attlee and Bevin, developed 'in concert with the Americans, a secret shadow state... Most of which was invisible to the general public, and, indeed, to many members of the British Labour Party.'
The secret state set up a propaganda unit called the Information Research Department (IRD). According to David Leigh, BBC programme makers 'were required to accept batches of undercover IRD material.'
The secret state organised special forces to carry out secret operations in Palestine and in the Soviet Empire.
Unfortunately, the UK security services had been infiltrated and their operations had a tendency to fail. British spies tended to get arrested the moment they landed in places like Albania.
Who were the infiltrators? Mention is often made of people like Philby and Blunt, who turned out to be spies for Russia. Secrets that were handed over to Russia could then be handed over to the Israelis.
Some people suspect Victor, Lord Rothschild, a friend of Israel and a friend of Blunt, of giving away some of Britain's secrets.
Http://aangirfan.blogspot.com/2005/01/mi5-and-mi6.html
In 1947, George Blake, who was Jewish, was recruited by MI6. He went on to betray all MI6 operations in Berlin and Poland.

The invasion of Salamaua–Lae (8–13 March 1942), called Operation SR by the Japanese, was an operation by Imperial Japanese forces to occupy the Salamaua–Lae area in the Territory of New Guinea during the Pacific campaign of World War II.  The Japanese invaded and occupied the location in order to construct an airfield and establish a base to cover and support the advance of Japanese forces into the eastern New Guinea and Coral Sea areas. The small Australian garrison in the area withdrew as the Japanese landed and did not contest the invasion.

In response to the Japanese landings, a United States Navy aircraft carrier task force including the carriers  and Lexington struck the invading Japanese naval forces with carrier aircraft on 10 March.  Supporting the carrier aircraft were eight B-17 bombers of the 435th Bombardment Squadron of the 19th Bombardment Group from Garbutt Field, Townsville, Australia and eight Royal Australian Air Force Hudson bombers of No. 32 Squadron from Port Moresby, New Guinea. The raid sank three transports and damaged several other ships.

In spite of the losses sustained during the air raid, Japanese forces successfully occupied Lae and Salamaua and began the construction of a base and airfield.  Air units based at the airfield later supported an air superiority campaign against Allied forces at Port Moresby.  In July 1942 after the Japanese abandoned plans to invade Port Moresby from the sea, the base at Salamaua–Lae supported the ultimately unsuccessful Japanese land offensive towards Port Moresby along the Kokoda Track.

Landing
In early 1942, the Japanese high command began planning operations in the New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, as part of an overall strategy of establishing bases in the South Pacific from which to interdict Allied lines of communication between the US and Australia. As a part of this strategy, it was determined that there was a need to capture Lae, Salamaua, Tulagi and Port Moresby to establish bases, and to prepare for further operations in the South Pacific in order to push a defensive perimeter further south. For the invasion of Salamaua and Lae, the Japanese 4th Fleet, under the command of Shigeyoshi Inoue, and Tomitarō Horii's South Seas Detachment established a landing force built around the 2nd Battalion, 144th Infantry Regiment, under the command of Major Horie Masao, and a battalion of the Kure Special Naval Landing Force.

To support the operation, the Imperial Japanese Navy formed an escort group under the command of Rear Admiral Kajioka Sadamichi. To this group, the Japanese assigned the heavy cruisers Aoba, Kinugasa, Furutaka and Kako, the light cruisers Tenryu, Tatsuta, and , the destroyers Mutsuki, Mochizuki, Yoyoi, Asanagi, Oite, and Yūnagi.

The invasion fleet left Rabaul on 5 March 1942, consisting of Sadamichi's group, assorted auxiliary vessels, and the transports.  The troop transports Yokohama Maru and China Maru sailed for Salamaua carrying Horie's troops, while the transports Kongō Maru and Kokai Maru, along with the auxiliary minelayer  were destined for Lae with the naval landing party. Air operations were flown by the 24th Air Flotilla around Port Moresby, Lae and Bulolo in support.

Departing Rabaul, the Japanese landed on 8 March 1942 at Lae and Salamaua. The Horie Unit was assigned the task of capturing Salamaua, including the airfield and township, while the naval landing force was given the responsibility for taking Lae. At Lae, the Japanese landed without opposition. A small detachment of the New Guinea Volunteer Rifles and some men from the 2/22nd Infantry Battalion set about the demolition of key infrastructure around Salamaua, and after a minor skirmish which resulted in one Japanese casualty, they destroyed the bridge over the Francisco River and then withdrew into the hills towards Mubo. Initial air interdiction by Hudsons from No. 32 Squadron resulted in three Japanese killed and eight wounded on the Yokohama Maru. Another strike by a Hudson around Lae resulted in light damage to the Asanagi.

Salamaua–Lae Raid
In the early morning of 10 March 1942,  Task Force 17 aircraft carriers Lexington and  launched their aircraft from the Gulf of Papua off the southern shore of New Guinea. The Task Force, under the command of Admiral Wilson Brown,  had avoided detection by the Japanese, and the approach of their aircraft from over the Owen Stanley Range enabled the attackers to appear seemingly out of nowhere. The   distance from which the planes were launched provided security for the task force and helped ensure surprise against the Japanese.

Approaching the northern landing areas, the attack commenced with the SBD Dauntless dive bombers of Lexingtons Scouting Squadron 2 (VS-2), which struck the Japanese shipping at Lae at 09:22. They were soon followed by Dauntless dive bombers of Bombing Squadron 2 (VB-2) and the Douglas TBD Devastators of Lexingtons Torpedo Squadron 2 (VT-2), which attacked shipping at Salamaua at 09:38 while the Wildcats of Fighter Squadron 2 (VF-2) strafed Lae and Salamaua.  Salamaua was struck again some 30 minutes later by Yorktowns Bombing Squadron 5 (VB-5), Torpedo Squadron 5 (VT-5) and Fighter Squadron 42 (VF-42), while the Dauntless dive bombers of  VS-5 attacked the auxiliary ships along the shore at Lae.

Following the carrier aircraft strike, eight B-17 bombers of the 435th Bombardment Squadron flying from Garbutt Field at Townsville arrived and bombed the target area as well, causing further damage.

Three transports (Kongō Maru, Tenyō Maru, and Yokohama Maru) were sunk.  In addition, the light cruiser Yubari, two destroyers (Asanagi and Yūnagi),  the transport Kokai Maru, the minelayer , the seaplane tender , and the auxiliary minesweeper Tama Maru No. 2 were damaged.  Tama Maru No. 2 ended up sinking three days later due to damage inflicted by the raid. Two of the transport losses were awarded to the carrier aircraft, while the cargo ship was awarded jointly to the carrier planes and the B-17s. Japanese casualties amounted to 130 killed and 250 wounded.

Of the 104 aircraft that took part, one SB3-2 Dauntless dive bomber of VS-2 was shot down by Japanese anti-aircraft fire, with the loss of both crew members. A further eleven aircraft were damaged.

The raid sank or damaged two thirds of the invasion transports employed.  Higher casualties among the Japanese Army personnel were  only prevented by the fact that most of the transports had been close to shore and could beach themselves. The psychological impact was greater, putting the Japanese on notice that the Americans were willing to place their carriers at risk to oppose their moves in the region. The fear of interdiction by US carrier forces against future operations contributed to the decision by the Japanese to include fleet carriers in their later plan to invade Port Moresby, resulting in the Battle of the Coral Sea.

Aftermath
Following the completion of the operation to capture Lae and Salamua, the Japanese began operations to capture Tulagi, in the Solomon Islands, as the next stage in the establishment of a defensive perimeter in the South Pacific. Meanwhile, beginning 18 March, they began to push inland from Salamaua, while around Lae they were confined mainly to the town for several weeks. While Japanese plans to secure Port Moresby were postponed after the Battle of the Coral Sea, they continued operations in the vicinity, and developed an airfield and large base facilities in the Salamaua–Lae area. These facilities later supported their ground operations during the Kokoda Track campaign. Throughout 1942, the Australians largely withdrew from the area towards Wau, but continued guerilla style operations in the area with the establishment of Kanga Force, which conducted observation and small scale raiding around Salamaua and Lae. The Allies later regained control of the Salamaua–Lae area in September 1943 following the conclusion of the Salamaua–Lae campaign.

The Hatters made it six wins in seven games at Aggborough as two second half penalties from Jake Howells sealed the Town's first away win of the campaign.
The midfielder, making his first start since the opening day of the season, put the Town in front on 70 minutes when debutante Paul Benson was fouled in the box.
And the product of the Hatters' academy doubled his and the Town's tally 10 minutes later after Andre Gray was brought down.
In truth it was no more than the Town deserved following an accomplished away performance that saw the defence keep their third successive clean sheet and make it five games unbeaten.
Showing three changes to the side that drew with Cambridge last Monday, including new signing Benson making his debut in attack and a first start for Andy Parry, the Town began brightly.
However it was the Harriers who threatened the most in the early stages. A Kyle Storer free-kick hit the Town wall on five minutes before the Hatters got lucky a minute later when a mis-hit shot from Joe Lolley took a massive deflection off of Alex Lacey but rolled, thankfully, out for a corner with Mark Tyler flat-footed.
But gradually the Hatters began to dominate. Kidderminster were holding firm against a series of Town free-kicks pinged into the box by the right-foot Luke Guttridge. The Hatters' midfielder was enjoying a fine performance playing in an attacking role in front of Parry and Jonathan Smith, and his deep set-piece on 20 minutes almost reached a Alex Lacey at the back-post.
Guttridge then went for goal himself two minutes later with a low effort that was gathered at the second attempt by Danny Lewis in the home goal. Guttridge then slipped a lovely, clever pass into the path of Gray running into the penalty area. The ball was caught in the striker's feet but he still managed to get a shot away, poking an effort at goal that Lewis again couldn't hold first time.
As the Town continued to press Howells missed a good chance to put his side ahead on 36 minutes when he flicked the ball wide of the mark from close range after Gray had slalomed into the box tight along the right-hand touchline.
Tyler had barely had a save to make up until this point but in 39th minute he had to be alert to tip Lolley's firmly-struck shot from the edge of the box around the post for a corner.
Had that got in it would have been against the run of play and after that clearing that corner the Town should have taken the lead when Howells skewed a shot wide of the post from six yards after being found by Jonathan Smith's shot that diverted into this path.
Minutes after the break Tyler had his gloves warmed with a stinging drive from Kiddy right-back Lee Vaughan before the Town engineered a lovely move on 52 minutes when Howells raced through following a intricate move involving Benson, but neither those two or Guttridge could turn the ball home.
The Hatters continued to push forward and 10 minutes into the second half only a fine block from defender Chey Dunkley kept out Guttridge's drive from inside the box after the referee had deflected a Kidderminster pass out of defence into the midfielder's path.
Guttridge warmed the gloves of Lewis on 61 minutes with a firm shot on the turn inside the penalty area after good work between Benson and Gray before Howells then poked wide at the back-post on 66 minutes.
However the Town were rewarded for their pressure on 70 minutes when they took the lead. Dunkley's poor back-pass was mis-read by goalkeeper Lewis. Benson was first to read the situation and but was brought down the Harriers' stopper in the penalty area and Howells sent Lewis the wrong way to make it 1-0.
One, though, soon became two and it was Howells from the spot once more that doubled the lead. Gray raced into the box and upended by Josh Gowling. The referee didn't immediately give the decision, it was only when the linesman indicated the foul that the Hatters get their chance which Howells took, despite Lewis' best attempts to save it with a flailing leg.
With the game safe the Town had time to introduce Alex Wall as a late substitute and after five minutes of injury time the Hatters held onto secure all three points.
Harriers: Lewis, L. Vaughan, Gowling, Dunkley, Demetriou, Storer, Fowler, Gittings, Johnson, Lolley, Gash. Subs: N. Vaughan, Blissett, Malbon, Byrne, Jackman.
Town: Tyler; Henry, Griffiths (sub Martin 90), McNulty, Lacey; Parry, Guttridge, Smith; Howells, Gray, Benson (sub Wall 90). Subs not used: Cullen, Whalley, Justham.
Attendance: 2,866, including 821 from the Hatters.


As a contractor licensed for work with asbestos we understand the need for the safe removal of products containing asbestos.
In January 2010 the HSE released updated guidance on surveying practices aiming to identify the presence of asbestos in a variety of buildings, premises or installations. The guide is called 'Asbestos: The Survey Guide' and its referenced as HSG 264. This guidance expands on and replaces MDHS 100 Surveying, sampling and assessment of asbestos containing materials.
Particular emphasis and importance has been placed on the planning of a survey and in addition, caveats and areas of no access should be avoided or reduced, so far as is reasonably practicable.
We can carry out both types of asbestos survey, the 'Management Survey' is intended to enable the management of asbestos within premises from a perspective of occupational risk to health, whereas the 'Refurbishment and Demolition Survey' is required prior to any works which will disturb the fabric of the building. The survey will cover the whole building due for demolition or just specific areas of the building where refurbishment is to take place.
Our experienced surveyors can carry out these two types of survey as necessary to suit clients requirements. We have experience in carrying out all sizes of asbestos survey from very small residential properties to large complex commercial properties. All our surveyors are appropriately trained and hold the relevant P402 qualification. Our clients include the MOD, Local Government and many Blue Chip Companies.
We are an HSE licensed asbestos removal contractor with a management team that is dedicated in implementing site specific solutions to all your asbestos problems.
We can programme works to suit the time scale of the project, ensuring that there are no unnecessary delays.
Asbestos is the biggest occupational killer in the UK and must be handled with extreme care both in live buildings and during demolition.
Our clients include local authorities, Ministry of Defense, health authorities, housing associations, major construction companies and property development.

"Chica, you just did a grilled veggie recipe" you say. I know but I have veggies to use up, and trust me this is a totally different dish.
The veggies take on a whole new flavor when you add smoked Gouda. Gouda makes pasta and veggies good-ah. Sorry, cheesy joke…opps, I did it again. Oh well, who doesn't like at least a little cheese.
My sister, Kel is bringing the boys over for dinner and I ask the O-Dog what he likes for dinner?
All right, I'm making noodles for dinner.
I can't resist this angel face? I'd make him anything he asks for.
Big brother Jakers is cool with anything I make. He's the real angel!
Start by putting your big ol' pot of water on to boil for the pasta.
Combine the olive oil, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning in a small dish. You can use equal parts garlic powder and salt if you don't have garlic salt.
Brush the seasoned oil onto the veggies, don't discard the remaining oil, toss in the pasta at the end.
Heat the grill to medium, and put the onions on first. Grill the onions about 5 minutes, and then put the rest of the veggies on the grill.
Turn the veggies when they have nice grill marks. Remove them as they are done. The tomatoes are done when the skin begins to split.
Remove the skin from the bell peppers.
Cut the veggies into about 1 inch bites.
Toss the veggies, the smoked Gouda, the remaining seasoned oil (you may need a little more olive oil), salt and pepper, into the cooked pasta.
I cut the cheese a little too large, cut yours into about ½ inch cubes. The smoked Gouda is what makes this sooo yummy; the smoky, creamy cheese is perfect with grilled veggies.
Serve the pasta warm, or at room temperature.
1 Onion, small, quartered and the outside skin removed. Leave the ends intact, in order to hold the onion together on the grill.
½ pint Grape or cherry tomatoes, look for larger tomatoes that won't fall between the grate of the grill.
Combine the olive oil, garlic salt and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
Brush all the veggies with the seasoned oil. Do not discard the remaining oil; it will go into the pasta at the end.
Heat the grill to medium and put the onions on first for about 5 minutes.
Now put the remaining veggies on the grill. Keep the lid down.
Turn the veggies when they have nice grill marks on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Remove the veggies as they are done.
Mean while; add a generous amount of salt to the boiling water, and cook the pasta to al dente.
Remove the charred skin from the bell peppers, and cut all the veggies into about1 inch pieces. Cut the mushroom in half. Remember to discard the ends from the onions now.
Toss the veggies and the smoked Gouda, as well as the remaining seasoned oil with the cooked and drained pasta. The pasta may need about 1 more tablespoon of oil.
*This pasta would be great with grilled or roasted chicken added. It can be served at room temperature,so it would be great for a picnic or a party!


PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The partial government shutdown is now impacting secondary businesses, particularly those in neighborhoods like Old City that depend on business not only from government workers, but also from tourists who visit government funded historic sites.
The partial government shutdown is having an impact on Old City businesses like Fezziwig's Sweet Shop.
"It's immediate drop off. You see it immediately," said store owner Greg Fezziwig.
"And when it starts, you hope it's just a day and tomorrow will be better. But when it's crickets for weeks, it's definitely different," he said.
Ruth Isaac Treatman of Old City Coffee echoes that sentiment.
"Anecdotally, we're missing people. We're missing people from the Federal Reserve, our beloved park police," Treatman said.
Old City, which is the neighborhood of the Federal Reserve, the National Park Service, the Federal Courthouse, the Customs House and of course, Philadelphia's most historic landmarks - the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall - was not bustling with people.
Fezziwig says he prepares for slow months like January.
"Of course you plan, but how much can you plan?" he told KYW Newsradio.
While the impact of not having a paycheck is certainly hurting government workers, "They're eventually going to get it. We aren't," he added.
Fezziwig says when folks eventually get their checks, they're not going to buy 15 lunches in a day.
