'FG to spend more relocating aviation agencies to Abuja'
• Workers to receive full allowances before transfer
The directive to immediately relocate headquarters of all aviation agencies from Lagos to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, will cost the Federal Government more of scarce resources.
Aviation stakeholders, made up of concerned workers, operators and service providers, yesterday said contrary to the cost-saving consideration cited in the directive, all officials of affected agencies would have to be paid relocation allowances that are cumulatively not cheap.
In a relative development, workers' unions have pledged to ensure total mobilisation and payment of full allowances to staffers prior to the relocation.
The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, had directed all aviation agencies to relocate their headquarters to Abuja within 45 days. The order, as contained in a memo from the Ministry dated May 4, 2020, stated that the marching order was in line with the Federal Government's 2012 plan to relocate all corporate headquarters to Abuja and in line with the current economic realities.
Affected are the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), and Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) that currently have their Headquarters in Lagos.
The Guardian learnt that the fresh directive was the third in a row of attempts shift operational base of the Headquarters to Abuja from Lagos. On both occasions, some affected officials were paid relocation, only for the superintendent ministers to revert to status quo.
This time, senior officers in the level of General Manager, may be entitled to between N2 million to N4 million as allowances per person.
President of Sabre West Africa, Dr. Gbenga Olowo, said it was difficult to understand the rationale of relocating the Headquarters during COVID-19 interstate's movement restriction and the strict timeline given when aviation businesses would gradually start recovering probably in the third quarter of 2020.
Olowo said, in any case, "the agencies' physical presence and their heads have always being in Abuja safe for their empty seats in Lagos. The policy statement too has been there for a while. We had thought economic judgment had prevailed on their staying behind in Lagos all this while.
"The Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA) being the highest revenue earner for FAAN and NAMA will suffer some administrative slacks with the seat of direct control being away from Lagos. It's like locating the bakery away from the production line and supply of flour.
"Direct and on-the-spot decision making by numero uno becomes delegated resulting to unnecessary gaps with timelines. In addition, major airlines' headquartered in Lagos will have decisions and approvals slowed down with increased cost of many visits to Abuja," Olowo said.
A top official of the aviation workers' union also described the move as a "faulty management and administrative policy."He said: "It is political and you can all read in-between the lines. If the intention is to save money, the FG knows the loopholes and wastages that abound all over the place. Why is aviation more visible to these Abuja people? Whose houses are being pegged for rentage to staffers of NAMA and other agencies? What has the FG done with the 25 per cent gross earnings from the agencies? What is happening to the outstanding balance in our Bilateral Air Service Agreement (BASA) fund account? What is it likely to be expended upon? These are the questions that the minister should answer, if he is sincere," the worker said.
The Secretary General of the Aviation Safety Round Table Initiative (ASRTI), Group Capt. John Ojikutu (rtd), however, said the relocation might not change anything in terms of progress until each airport is treated according to its revenue contributions.
Ojikutu said the headquarters don't make money, rather they spend it. "Let the management of the operations that makes the money have self-actualisation in the management of the infrastructure and resources.
"It is bad management if MMA that makes close to N5 billion monthly cannot spend one per cent of its earnings on the maintenance of the infrastructure of its operations. In other climes, 10 per cent is allowed. Let this movement be the beginning of devolution of power in the airports management," Ojikutu said.
The President of Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), Illitrus Ahmadu, however, said ATSSSAN was not against the relocation order but the staff welfare should not be taken for granted.
Ahmadu said: "We will not accept a situation where you ask anyone to go without first paying the relocation allowance. And my advice is that you cannot relocate people out of Lagos to Abuja and cripple activities in Lagos.
"You should provide enough capital resources to continue to drive operations in Lagos while you move few people to Abuja.""I don't think the relocation will affected the running of the agencies, but we expect the CEOs to empower the offices at the regions or various formations so that those who are there will be able to perform their duties effectively. We want to see some level of authorities to the people at the regions and formations."

Wide resection and limb-salvage surgery remain the gold standard for the management of patients with soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities. Innovations in understanding tumor biology and limb-salvage techniques have led amputation rates to decline. Radiation therapy and novel chemotherapy agents and dosing regimens are supplementing oncology-related surgical treatment. A multidisciplinary team approach with input from oncologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, and orthopaedic and plastic surgeons is necessary for the management of patients with soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities.

End LGBTQ fear mongering by the Duggars.
This petition made change with 191,621 supporters!
Jim Wissick started this petition to The Learning Channel and 1 other
Update: The Duggars have thrown massive amounts of money to repeal this law so business owners and land lords can evict and fire people solely over gender idenity and sexual orientation! They need to be taken off the air!
Michelle Duggar of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting is warning Fayetteville residents that transgender people are child predators and that the law will somehow protect that predatory behavior.
Her recorded robocall says:
"Hello, this is Michelle Duggar. I'm calling to inform you of some shocking news that would affect the safety of Northwest Arkansas women and children."
"The Fayetteville City Council is voting on an ordinance this Tuesday night that would allow men – yes I said men – to use womens and girls restrooms, locker rooms, showers, sleeping areas and other areas that are designated for females only. I don't believe the citizens of Fayetteville would want males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female to have a legal right to enter private areas that are reserved for women and girls. "
Duggar words reek of ignroance and fear mongering. Just because someone is transgendered doesn't mean they are a child predator or a rapist. The claim that this ordinance would provide predators with access to women's restrooms in order to assault or leer at girls or women is nothing more than fear-mongering and spreading ignornace and hatred.
Transgender people — who are far more likely to be the victims of harassment and violence if forced to use a bathroom that is inconsistent with their gender identity or expression— deserve to have the ability to use the bathroom in peace and safety.
Josh Duggar has also taken a position at the so called "Family Research Council". The Family Research Center is such a hate-filled, anti-gay organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2010 labeled it a "hate group" for its "dissemination of false and demonizing propaganda about gays and lesbians."
The Learning Channel & Discovery Networks need to seperate themselves from this bigotry and put an end to the Duggar's show.

News »Motor Vehicles (Trials of Automotive Technologies) Amendment Bill
Motor vehicles (trials of automotive technologies) amendment bill
In Parliament - Tuesday, 1 December 2015
Mr DULUK (Davenport) (16:59:25): I also rise today to speak in support of the Motor Vehicles (Trials of Automotive Technologies) Amendment Bill 2015, but only briefly. I put on the record that this bill relates purely to the trials of autonomous vehicles and not to any commercial legalisation.
South Australia was once known as a state of pioneers and pioneering innovations. We were founded by free settlers and we have always been willing to experiment with new ideas. South Australia has in the past, and should once again in the future, be the laboratory of democracy. Former US Supreme Court justice Louis Brandeis once said, 'A state may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.' To that list I would add technological experiments as well. An example of technological experiments which benefited the state was during the 20th century when South Australia was home to weapons and rocket testing at Woomera, which is where the origins of our defence state reputation began.From this early investment, there were many flow-on projects, such as the submarine and defence shipbuilding industries. As a consequence, thousands of defence jobs have been created in this state over many decades. By being an early mover under the Playford Liberal and Country League government, South Australia's position as a leader in defence technologies was definitely cemented.
Driverless cars are part of the modern age and are here to stay. We must adapt our laws to new technologies to make sure that they do not hamper new developments. I believe driverless transport will revolutionise passenger transport and the road freight industries in the years to come. On the motoring front, South Australia is home to many pioneering firsts. The first driver's licence in Australia was issued in Adelaide in 1906. That goes to show how long the government has been interfering in people's lives. Of course, Adelaide is the home of Holden for a little bit longer, the first of all Australian motor vehicles being built in this country.
In 2015, some 109 years since the first driver's licence for a car was issued, another first is coming, and of course that is to approve driverless cars. I commend the minister for that. Would it not be great if, in time, South Australia still had a motor vehicle industry on the back of these new technologies? It is unfortunate that the government still does not have, to my mind, a concrete plan for workers in the northern suburbs who are going to miss out as a result of car manufacturing ceasing in this state. Hopefully, in time, investment and development in driverless cars will lead to a new car industry in South Australia. However, as the member for Hartley alluded to in his speech, we need more than just legislation that allows driverless cars; we need investment, IP and R&D into this area.
I wholeheartedly support the introduction of a trial of driverless vehicles. There is no doubt that most fatalities on our roads are caused by driver fatigue or error, whether that be drink or drug driving, inattention or fatigue. Driverless cars do have the capacity to bring our road toll to zero in time. They also have the capacity to free up labour in the transportation field and to be utilised in new and emerging industries.
As a concept, driverless vehicles have certainly been well received by the industry in South Australia: SARTA and Steve Shearer of that organisation have been supporting it; Cohda Wireless definitely see a potential here for South Australia, which is wonderful; Flinders University is right behind it and are certainly pioneers in this area at the moment; Carnegie Mellon is another academic facility that is right behind it; and the RAA is also very supportive.
While there are many benefits of driverless cars, I think there will be early teething problems, which is to be expected. That is what we saw when the minister's car hit the stationary kangaroo, but I am sure in time those types of issues will be resolved. While the benefits of driverless cars will be here in due course, we must remember that, as parliamentarians, as the member for Kaurna related, we do have a duty. For me, my paramount duty as a legislator is to ensure job creation for South Australia. Jobs are the most important thing and I would love to see some more evidence as to how driverless automation will lead to further growth in South Australia.
As I spend my time in this house, so much of the time that we use in debate is used to talk about things such as changing the time zones, and all these other types of distractions. They are not always focusing on jobs, so I would encourage this government to spend as much of its time putting its energies into job creation, not job diversions and, as always, let's talk about the real issues that count for South Australia.

With the change in the weather, the start of school, and some new fabric sample arrivals, I was inspired to put a few things together and show you how they might look in a room setting.
The individual materials are all shown below. The wide stripe is perfect as lined drapery and the light weight printed sheer would be fabulous as sheer panels behind it. I loved the idea of a chocolate brown suede texture to add warmth and the shagreen is just a possible accent for a pillow or ottoman. The Abaca rug really adds to the texture in the room and is a perfect coastal accent. The art shown is by local artist, Maureen Travers. You can see her work in our Southampton store. Lastly, the light fixture is truly inspired by Autumn. Made by Ro Sham Beaux of grapevines. With our new shop online, you can even purchase it here.
As always, let me know your thoughts. How would you use these materials? Do you like neutrals or prefer brighter color?

How a vegan sausage roll became the first PR triumph of 2019
Back in December, an email was 'accidentally' leaked that contained details of the upcoming launch of a vegan sausage roll by Greggs. And with Greggs not confirming nor denying rumours, social media became flooded with anticipation of this new product that was set to change the way people viewed veganism.
We all know the stereotypes that surround vegan food. Soya, jackfruit, tofu, cashew nut cheese (yes, the kinds of terms you'll find in Lucy Watson's instagram stories) – it's a lifestyle that most of us (especially students) usually wouldn't be able to afford. Veganism is widely thought of of being an expensive way to live, so this new vegan alternative to the much loved £1 sausage roll from Greggs was set to throw a massive spanner in the works. And it has.
On 2nd January, Greggs posted the launch video for this ground-breaking new product on their YouTube channel, and it was an instant hit. It mimicked an Apple advertisement, with the new alternative sausage roll taking centre stage just as the latest iPhone would in one of Apple's annual announcements. And in keeping with their launch video, Greggs sent out samples of their latest product to journalists and influencers, encased in a white box distinctly similar to an iPhone box, complete with silver-embossed text that read: "Pastry Layers: 96, Flake Resolution: Optimal, Taste Level: Maximum, Mega Bites: 10."
I know what you're thinking. All this, for a £1 sausage roll? Well, there was method behind the madness. Knowing that veganism is thought of as an expensive lifestyle, Greggs have tapped into this stereotype by presenting this inexpensive sausage roll as something luxurious and glamorous. John Brown, founder of communications agency Don't Cry Wolf, for example, stated:
"A lot of companies would be terrified of offending the vegan lobby so it takes a bit of guts to treat the whole thing as a bit of fun – for instance with the iPhone theme. A lot of vegans do own Apple products – that's a neat touch."
Most of us would have thought of Greggs and veganism as being polar opposites – Greggs is the 'cheap and cheerful' guilty pleasure we go to when we're skint and want a quick bite to eat; veganism is a lifestyle choice that is widely stereotyped as being pretentious and stuck-up. So by combining the two, Greggs have completely changed the game – and it's a genius move that none of us saw coming.
The packaging and marketing of a product that sells at £1 created a lot of hype and interest surrounding it's launch, and Greggs' clever use of humour has meant that the sausage roll itself has gained a massive following on social media. One day after it's launch, the hashtag #greggsvegansausageroll was the top trending hashtag in the UK. And you only have to click on it to get involved in ongoing conversation surrounding the new alternative product, and even join in the wide-spread debate – Can it really be called a sausage roll if it doesn't contain any sausage?
Greggs themselves have caught on to the social media thing, and used it to their advantage. The product gained yet more publicity when Piers Morgan (yes, I know, of course he had to get involved) criticised the product and questioned the need for it. Greggs however tweeted him back, arguably making a complete fool out of him; and other fast food chains such as McDonalds even joined the band-wagon when he also criticised their new meat-free products.
The geniuses behind Greggs' latest PR stunts obviously have a sense of humour, and in this case, it's served them well. We've seen a few examples of this from them recently. For example, there was the time they went undercover at a food market as an up-market, niche brand called 'Gregory and Gregory' and asked a few posh people to unknowingly try their food; as well as the time they lay a sausage roll in a manger surrounded by the three wise men, suggesting that said sausage roll could take Jesus' place. That campaign, however, backfired, as many Christians took to social media to complain that it was offensive to their religious beliefs. In terms of sales, however, this controversy didn't actually do any damage to Greggs' brand; in fact, according to website PR Week, in the weeks after the controversy stores across the UK were selling out of sausage rolls. The fact that Greggs came out of the 'sausage roll Jesus' controversy unscathed, then, may explain their ballsiness in attempting to mock the vegan community – a community that in recent times have been the butt of a lot of jokes. They took the risk, though, and it's paid off.
All of the work that's been put into this £1 sausage roll – that's not even really a sausage roll – has meant that Greggs have been sold out of the product in stores across the UK as early as midday. People have even began bidding online for them on eBay, and paying as much as £7 for one that comes in the iPhone box packaging. So there you have it: sausage rolls, vegan alternatives to sausage rolls, and putting Piers Morgan in his place – this is how you capture the hearts of the UK public. And with a bit of clever marketing and PR added into the mix, you're almost guaranteed success.

Kit Harington Faked 1 of Jon Snow's Signatures in the 'Game of Thrones' Pilot That Fans Never Saw
by Perry Carpenter twitter | More Articles: TV
Kit Harington was famous for two things as Jon Snow on Game of Thrones — his pout and his hair. Harington's locks were such a big deal that they were almost their own character. They even had their own Game of Thrones contract! But what you may not know is that Harington actually faked Jon Snow's signature hair in the Game of Thrones pilot that fans never saw.
Kit Harington | Helen Sloan/HBO
Kit Harington didn't know he had curly hair before 'Game of Thrones'
Harington was in the right place at the right time to land the role of Jon Snow. Game of Thrones was his first ever TV acting job. And he managed to score an audition during drama school when he caught the attention of producers while starring as Albert Narracott in War Horse.
Show creator D.B. Weiss remembers Harington's first audition well. He told Rolling Stone that he whispered to co-creator David Benioff, "This is what Jon Snow looks like, please let this kid be good."
But at the time, Harington had short hair and no facial hair. According to BuzzFeed, he'd never tried to grow it out before Game of Thrones. And he had no idea his hair was curly.
"I always had short hair before I did this, and then they went 'Could you grow your hair and a beard?' And I went, 'Well, I've never grown my hair, and I'm practically pre-pubescent in the facial-hair stakes, but I'll give it a go!'" Harington said.
He faked Jon Snow's signature locks in the pilot that fans never saw
Most Game of Thrones fans are aware that there was a pilot shot for HBO that never made it to air. Those who were a part of it have shared that it was pretty much a disaster — and it didn't even have Emilia Clarke playing Daenerys Targaryen.
"The pilot really didn't work. No one's ever seen it, it's in some back room somewhere, and I'd like it to stay there!" Harington told BBC Breakfast.
When it came to his appearance as Jon Snow, Harington shared that he "had a horrible wig on." And he is more than okay with the fact that no one has seen the failed pilot episode.
Kit Harington was contractually obligated to keep his hair long
Jon's hair changed a little bit over eight seasons, but he was contractually obligated to keep his shoulder-length curls throughout the entire series.
"It has its own contract, definitely. I never thought I'd say that about my own hair," Harington said in 2014, per Us Weekly. "I'm just not allowed to cut it, and I didn't realize this until recently. I wanted to cut it. I've had long hair for ages and they were like, 'no, no, no, that won't be happening,'"
Kit Harington Went to 'Take a Pee' and Came Back With a Major Revelation About 'Game of Thrones'
Of course, Harington did follow through as soon as Game of Thrones wrapped in 2019 and cut his hair "short short." Just before he chopped off the locks, he explained that he wanted to make himself less recognizable, and do some things "with a completely new look and tone."
"The beard will be harder to get rid of — I quite like the beard. I like having the long hair and beard both, but it will be like a ritualistic thing. I can't go into my next role looking the same. This role was brilliant, but I'll need to get rid of Jon Snow," Harington said, per Pop Sugar.
All eight seasons of Game of Thrones are available on HBO Max.

Google I/O 2018: Google Assistant is more lifelike than ever
By Subhrojit Mallick | Published on 09 May 2018
The Google Assistant can speak in John Legend's voice and make calls on your behalf.
Google just demonstrated a remarkably natural Google Assistant at the Google I/O 2018 opening keynote. It can speak more conversationally, understand the user better, teach kids manners, and make surprisingly convincing robocalls for you. Users no longer have to speak the 'Hey Google' wakeword after every command. Instead, the Google Assistant will keep listening and keep the conversation going. It also has seven new voices, including that of John Legend's.
Sundar Pichai kicked off I/O 2018 with an apology for getting the burger emoji wrong and soon veered into the strides Google has made in the world of AI and machine learning. The breakthroughs Google achieved over the past few years is going to show up in Google's offerings. One of the biggest recipients of those breakthroughs is the Google Assistant. It's as fluent in conversation as Siri, and more functional than ever.
The most noticeable change is going be the voice. The Google Assistant has been trained to speak more naturally. It can emphasise phrases based on the context, adjust the pitch and tone of its voice, and switch between seven diverse voices. Including John Legend's. The singer's voice has been combined with Google Deep Mind's Wavenet AI to generate a voice for Google Assistant that sounds intensely personal. Legend's voice is only available in certain situations, though. But the other new voices are there all the time and across other apps like Maps.
Once you get past the polished voice and start having a conversation, Google Assistant won't ask for the wakeword every time. You can hold a longer conversation with the Assistant. Google calls it 'Continued Conversation' and during the keynote, Scott Huffman, the VP of Engineering at Google, demonstrated a three line long conversation with the Google Assistant, using the 'Hey Google' wakeword just once at the beginning. You can also ask more than one thing in one command. With what's called 'Multiple Actions', Assistant can understand you are asking for two things at once. So when you ask Google Assistant to "dim the lights and turn on the music", it will understand you are asking for two separate things and get it done.
Because of the Assistant, Pichai thinks, kids might become uncouth and forget their manners. So with a new feature called 'Pretty Please', Google Assistant will urge users to ask for things nicely. Available for families, the Assistant will chime in a word of encouragement every time it's commanded with a 'please'.
On the new smart speakers that Google announced in partnership with JBL, Lenovo, Sony and more at CES 2018 earlier this year, will get YouTube TV powered by the Google Assistant. Users can watch TV shows live, watch recipe videos and more. You can also make video calls, check the traffic, and place food orders in select restaurants. The Assistant can remember your usual order. For instance, it will know your usual order at Starbucks and place it for you along with passing on the suggestions and remarks.
The most dramatic ability that the Google Assistant was to make calls on behalf of the user. Huffman demonstrated the Google Assistant making an appointment in a salon by calling up the place. It sounded so natural that the person on the other side didn't realise that it was a robot speaking. The call wasn't placed live. It was pre-recorded, and it might not work that seamlessly. Google said it's a new technology and will roll out as an experiment. The Assistant relies on a new technology called Google Duplex that combines machine learning and natural language processing to hold a natural conversation with the person on the other end. It remains to be seen whether it has cracked the Turing Test though.
Huffman also announced that the two-year-old Google Assistant is now running on 500 million devices over 500 different types of products, and the new features that were announced will roll out to users over the coming weeks. Some of these features like Google Duplex might not be available for India that quickly, but features like smoothe conversations, new voices and the likes are expected to arrive soon this month.

In my last article, I outlined the reasons I choose to read my Bible each and every day. Today's article below takes this a step further, outlining a very simple, yet comprehensive, method of gaining far deeper insights into the passages you are reading. This Bible study method—Part A, has been developed from information found in Josh McDowell's Guide To Understanding Your Bible, by Josh McDowell. The downloadable template below, has been developed for personal or group use, and comes with limited instructions and examples, to get you engaging with your Bible every day, in a deeper, life changing way. For further detailed information, you should read Josh McDowell's excellent book.
Read a chapter of the Bible 3 times in a row.
The more times you read it, the more insight you will have in filling in the answers, in each section.
Divide the chapter into paragraphs.
A paragraph gives you one thought, amongst the greater theme of the chapter. In a Bible translation such as the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), the paragraphs have already been formatted for you.
In section 1, write out the first paragraph.
Writing out information helps trigger your memory when you need to recall it later.
In section 2, make observations derived from that paragraph.
These six questions help you to see much more detail, that simply reading your Bible does.
In section 3, write a keyword, or title for that paragraph.
This will be made use of in Section B.
In section 4, write down anything from that passage you would like more information about.
This is where you can write down words you would like to define better, places mentioned you might like to know more about, phrases you don't understand, questions you may have.
In section 5, paraphrase the passage into your own words.
How would you explain the passage, to someone else, if you didn't have it in front of you?
In section 6, write some points on how this passage might impact your life.
In section 7, write a personal prayer, based on what you now understand about this passage.
Grab a new template, and continue to the next paragraph.
Once you have completed the whole chapter, it will be time to move on to the next part of the Bible study method— Part B.


SAN DIEGO,– PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ: PSMT) today announced that for the month of February 2019, net merchandise sales were $228.8 million versus $228.9 million in February a year earlier. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations impacted net merchandise sales negatively by $8.8 million or 3.8% versus the same prior year one-month period.
For the six months ended February 28, 2019, net merchandise sales increased 0.4% to $1,567.6 million from $1,562.0 million in the same period last year. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations impacted net merchandise sales negatively by $49.2 million or 3.1% versus the same prior year six-month period.
There were 41 warehouse clubs in operation at February 28, 2019 compared to 40 warehouse clubs in operation at February 28, 2018.
For the five weeks ended March 3, 2019, comparable warehouse sales for the 40 warehouse clubs open at least 13 1/2 full months decreased 1.9% compared to the same five-week period last year. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations impacted comparable net merchandise sales negatively by $11.0 million or 3.8% versus the same prior year period.
For the twenty-six-week period ended March 3, 2019, comparable warehouse sales decreased 1.4% compared to the comparable twenty-six-week period a year ago. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations impacted comparable net merchandise sales negatively by $48.6 million or 3.1% versus the same prior year period.
The Company reports comparable net merchandise sales on a "same week" basis with 13 weeks in each quarter beginning on a Monday and ending on a Sunday. The periods are established at the beginning of the fiscal year to provide as close a match as possible to the calendar month and quarter that is used for financial reporting purposes. This approach equalizes the number of weekend days and weekdays in each period for improved sales comparison, as we experience higher merchandise club sales on the weekends. Each of the warehouse clubs used in the calculations was open for at least 13 ½ calendar months before its results for the current period were compared with its results for the prior period.
The term "currency exchange rates" refers to the currency exchange rates we use to convert net merchandise and comparable net merchandise sales for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars. We calculate the effect of changes in currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activities translated using the current period's currency exchange rates, and the comparable prior year period's currency exchange rates. The disclosure of the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations on the Company's results permits investors to understand better our underlying performance.
PriceSmart today also announced that it plans to release second quarter fiscal year 2019 financial results on Tuesday, April 9, 2019, after the market closes. PriceSmart management plans to host a conference call at 12:00 p.m. Eastern time(9:00 a.m. Pacific time) on Wednesday, April 10, 2019, to discuss the financial results. Individuals interested in participating in the conference call may do so by dialing (855) 209-8211 for domestic callers or (412) 317-5214 for international callers, and asking to join the PriceSmart, Inc. call. A digital replay will be available through April 17, 2019, following the conclusion of the call by dialing (877) 344-7529 for domestic callers, or (412) 317-0088 for international callers, and entering replay access code 10129327.
PriceSmart, headquartered in San Diego, owns and operates U.S.-style membership shopping warehouse clubs in Latin America and the Caribbean, selling high quality merchandise at low prices to PriceSmart members. PriceSmart operates 41 warehouse clubs in 12 countries and one U.S. territory (seven each in Colombia and Costa Rica; five in Panama; four each in Trinidad and Dominican Republic; three each in Guatemala and Honduras; two each in El Salvador and Nicaragua; and one each in Aruba, Barbados, Jamaica and the United States Virgin Islands). The Company has acquired property and is currently constructing warehouse clubs in Santiago, Panama and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic that are expected to open in the spring of 2019. The Company also plans to open warehouse clubs in San Cristobal, Guatemala and an additional club in Panama City, Panama, in the fall of 2019. Once these four new clubs are open, the Company will operate 45 warehouse clubs. PriceSmart also operates a cross-border logistics and e-commerce business through Aeropost, Inc. ("Aeropost"), which was purchased in March 2018. PriceSmart is utilizing and building on the technology and talent it acquired through Aeropost to invest in and further develop omni-channel capabilities to allow its members alternative ways to shop. Aeropost operates certain segments of its business directly or via agency relationships in 38 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, many of which overlap with markets where PriceSmart operates its warehouse clubs, and has distribution and administration facilities in Miami, Florida.
Any substantial reduction by the U.S. government of aid to Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador or Nicaragua could adversely impact our sales and our ability to receive timely tax refunds owed to us by some of these countries and could lead to further political instability.
A few of our stockholders own approximately 24.7% of our voting stock as of November 30, 2018, which may make it difficult to complete some corporate transactions without their support and may impede a change in control.
The risks described above as well as the other risks detailed in the Company's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 filed on October 25, 2018, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, see "Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors," could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These risks are not the only risks that the Company faces. The Company could also be affected by additional factors that apply to all companies operating globally and in the U.S., as well as other risks that are not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers to be immaterial.

Our Gang Silent Comedies Volume 1 (VHS) from Video Classics and
Our Gang Comedies I (VHS) from The Picture Palace
Video Classics' copy has generic opening and ending titles generated by themselves. The are no inter-titles in this print, suggesting that perhaps it's a TV print from Mischief Makers. The print totals 15:08, with 14:48 of it original footage. Roughly two-thirds of the original film is included.
I was able to view a home movie digest version of this film. It contains remade titles, which don't seem particularly original, but it includes footage missing from the Video Classics version. I was also able to view another home movie extract which contains some of the original inter-titles.
Filmed June 1 to 20, 1923. See the 'miscellaneous' section below for details.
Released September 23, 1923. It was the 17th film in the series to be released.
Copyrighted September 24, 1923, by Pathé Exchange, Inc. Registration no. LU19443. Since the copyright was not renewed, this film is now in the public domain.
Opening title: '"Our Gang" Comedies - Hal Roach presents His Rascals in "No Noise".'
Released into TV syndication as Mischief Makers episode no. 1041, "Operation Tonsils," copyrighted Sep. 1, 1960, with registration number LP17346.
Directed by Robert F. McGowan
The film probably includes this credit, but without his middle initial.

Story by Hal E. Roach
The film probably doesn't include this credit.
driver - Bob Davis joined the Roach studio the week ending June 9th.
writing - Robert F. McGowan, Tom McNamara, Thomas J. Crizer and Leo McCarey may have been among the gag writers.
main players
Mickey Daniels as "Mickey"
Lead role. The gang's homemade sign spells his name "Micky Daniels." He's the star of the film, appearing in most of the scenes.
Allen "Farina" Hoskins as "Farina"
Featured role. Or more specifically, "Little Farina." He's a 'she' in this film. As usual, he's the comedy relief in this comedy, eating everything he gets his hands on, and getting into the chloroform. His hair is combed out in this short, giving him a rather peculiar look.
Ernie "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison as "Ernie"
Supporting role. Maltin & Bann indicate that the "Sunshine Sammy" nickname was used. His big scene is with the skeleton.
Supporting role. He has a good moment with his hair standing on end, but most of what he does is ensemble acting.
Jack Davis as "Jack"
Supporting role. He seems to be the kid in charge in Mickey's absence. Mostly, though, he does ensemble acting.
Jackie Condon as "Jackie"
Supporting role. He does mostly ensemble acting in this short.
Mary Kornman as "Mary"
Small part. She's on her way to see Mickey at the hospital when the gang decides to join her. She's left out of most of the chaos, though.
Andy Samuel as "Lewis De Vore"
Small part. He's among the boys with the vaccination orders that trade places with the gang. He's the first to pull the piece of paper out of his pocket, and an insert shot of the order reveals that his character name is "Lewis De Vore," a name included in Maltin & Bann's cast listing for this film.
other boys
Small parts. Four additional boys with vaccination orders. It's possible that one of these is Lewis De Vore, and that the impression that this is a character played by Andy Samuel is merely the result of editing.
Small part. He appears off and on throughout the short.
Small part. He's seen at the beginning flattening the gang's football, and then at the end chasing the cop.
Dinah the Mule
Bit part. In this print, she's briefly seen pulling the wagon as the gang journeys to the hospital.
(1.) The black cat with white markings on its face and neck. He joins Farina in the chloroform scene.
(2.) Experimental mice and guinea pigs.
Beth Darlington as Mickey's nurse
Supporting role. She's featured fairly strongly, particularly at the beginning of the film, trying to give Mickey castor oil.
Charley Young as the doctor in charge
Supporting role. He gives the gang several phony diagnoses to scare them.
Charles Stevenson as one of the other doctors
Small part. He's mainly seen chasing the gang around.
Clara Guiol as one of the nurses
Bit part. She's seen in the parts where the boys are being scared.
Helen Gilmore as one of the nurses
Bit part. She's seen in the same scenes with Guiol.
Charles Bachman as the police officer
Bit part. He chases the kids out of the hospital, only to get attacked by their dog.
(1.) The professor teaching the class.
(2.) The doctor that discovers the boys messing around with the equipment.
(3.) The nurse standing next to Helen Gilmore as the doctors conspire against the gang.
(4.) The nurse that helps Beth Darlington hold Mickey down as she gives him his castor oil.
(5.) Several doctors and nurses being instructed by the professor. Also, a few doctors, nurses and patients are seen outside the hospital.
the locations:
Hal E. Roach Studios
Served as the front of Municipal Hospital.
17 shooting dates went into the making of this film. Robert McGowan began the shooting of this film on June 1st, the day after he shot the last retakes for "July Days" (no. 18). Filming continued until the 'finish' of June 20th. No shooting took place on June 3rd, 10th, or 17th, which were all Sundays. The day after shooting wrapped, McGowan began the retakes for "Stage Fright" (no. 17).
The gang's team is called Dugans Allie Football Teem. The team the gang is scheduled to play is called the Goose Alley Juniors.
The physician on Lewis De Vore's vaccination order is named S. S. Herrman MD.

Die Fechtweltmeisterschaften 2013 fanden vom 5. bis zum 12. August 2013 in der ungarischen Hauptstadt Budapest im Kongress- und Eventcenter Syma statt.

Die Bewerbung des Ungarischen Fechtverbandes erhielt beim Kongress des Weltfechtverbandes (FIE) im Dezember 2010 in Moskau eine Zustimmung von 95 % ohne Gegenstimme. Ungarn hatte sich schon für die Weltmeisterschaften 2011 beworben, war aber knapp der italienischen Bewerbung unterlegen.

Mit der Veranstaltung feierte der Ungarische Fechtverband das 100-jähriges Bestehen des Weltfechtverbandes.

Wettbewerbe und Zeitplan
Das Programm umfasste Wettkämpfe in den Fechtgattungen Degen, Florett und Säbel, unterteilt in Einzel und Mannschaften sowie Damen und Herren. Es wurden daher 12 Gold- und 12 Silbermedaillen verliehen. Da der dritte Platz im Einzel nicht ausgefochten wurde, in den Mannschaftswettbewerben schon, gab es hier geteilte Plätze und somit 18 Bronzemedaillen.

Q: If $x$ is a root of the polynomial..... Prove: If $x$ is a root of the polynomial:

I believe if I assume $\frac{a}{b}$ is a root of the polynomial, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime, if I plug into the equation above and multiply both sides by $b^m$, and show that $b$ must equal $1$, I can find an answer, but I don't know how to do so.

A: As said in the comments: suppose there's a rational root  $x=a/b$, written in irreducible form, i. e. $a$ and $b$ are coprime, and multiply by $b^m$. You obtain
\begin{align*}
&a^m+c_1a^{m-1}b+c_2a^{m-2}b^2+\dots+c_mb^m=0\\\iff \enspace
&a^m=-b(c_1a^{m-1}+c_2a^{m-2}b+\dots+c_mb^{m-1})
\end{align*}
so $b$ divides $a^m$. As $a$ and $b$, hence $a^m$ and $b$ are coprime, this is impossible, unless $b=\pm1$. This proves $x$ is an integer.
Note:  We may likewise prove $a$ is a divisor of $c_m$ if we write the equation as
$$a(a^{m-1}+c_1a^{m-2}b+c_2a^{m-3}b^2+\dots+c_{m-1}b^{m-1})=-c_mb^m.$$

I like SAMSON SR850 more than Superlux HD681 EVO, they are build by same manufacture.
Probably the best bang for your buck for headphones. Good semi-open design for wide sound stage. Good bass without being overpowering. Could use a bit of high end but a quick EQ fixes that easily.
These are the first new headphones I've bought in many years. The last pair I bought were the Grado SR-80s. It took 150 hours minimum of break-in using regular music and pink noise for them to really open up and sound their best. I installed the included velour ear pads in place of the plastic ones provided and that improved the sound by taming the bottom end and allowing the mids and highs to open up a bit.
The sound is open and spacious and definitely full-range. I am particularly pleased with the tonal purity of all types of music genres from Jazz to Metal. These also have a well balanced frequency response and with mine being powered by my Denon AVR-3803 HT receiver, no EQ is needed.
These certainly are an improvement over the Grados and I'm very pleased. I also like the fact that two cables are included and I connected the two together to create one very long cable which is great for me as my listening seat is about 10 feet away from my system.
I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a set of these. Outstanding value for the money in my opinion and they make me wonder if buying a more expensive set of phones would be worth it.
- performs almost on par (sometimes exceeds in certain aspects) with certain headphones 10 times the price.
Really cant go wrong at this price. I found out about them on the Head-Fi forums while doing some research on the Senn HD650's which I was about to shell out 500$ + on, which I wasn't sure about spending. Someone suggested the Superlux HD680 Evo's and they have rave reviews by many people on the site. I decided to give them a chance and I'm amazed with the sound quality. You can get good quality sound for 60$, blown away.


The Familie (family) Toom consists of father Bart, his son Sebastiaan and Sebastiaan's wife Heleen Toom.
They mainly have pigeons from Tim Hage from Woerden and Jan & Hanne Sas from Vosselaar in Belgium. Some years ago on the advice of friend Jan van Wanrooy there was a knock at the door of these Belgian pigeonfanciers who have only the best of the best from the international marathon champions loft Kurvers-de Weerd (Lei Kurvers-Henk de Weerd). With an accommodation of 5 meters for the old pigeons and a loft of 2 meters for the 60 youngsters we can count them among the small fanciers.
Bart has made a golden purchase there about ten years ago, because from the ten pigeons they bought….three were phenomenal! Untill now, it were these three pigeons which built the foundation of the great successes and victories of the Familie Toom.
It was the superb breedingcouple MESSI (grandson of the foundation breedingcock "874" from Lei Kurvers) x COBY (granddaughter of the 2nd National Barcelona in 2005) and the nestbrother of MESSI that have ensured that the Family Toom have penetrated the best Dutch fanciers of both the (faster) NPO races with afternoon releases as well as the very heavy International Marathon classics as almost all descendants from the Family Toom's Golden Breeding couple are usefull till extremely good pigeons!!
Direct offspring of the before mentioned super breedingcouple win: 1, 1, 6, 8, 11, 13, 14, 17, 25, 26, 26, 26, 28, 30, 38, 39, 40, 51, 51, 60, 71, 93 National (Sector 2 and/or ZLU) and 1st National Acepigeon Agen ZLU 16-17-18, 4th National Acepigeon Sint Vincent ZLU 14-15-16 and 6th National Acepigeon Barcelona 15-16-17!!
– 3rd National Champion Extreme Long Distance/Marathon!!
Incredible results bearing in mind the small number of pigeons they have. Familie Toom, a tiny loft with huge performances!
In their spectacular auction the Family Toom offers 3 direct children of their phenomenal SUPERBREEDER MESSI .. !!! Furthermore, beautiful youngsters from his best daughters MAGIC PIA (mother 1st National Ace Pigeon Agen ZLU 16-17-18) and BLUE WONDER (6th National Ace Pigeon Barcelona 15-16-17) are offered and from very exclusive breeding together with a.o.
– a very nice son from TIM, the winner of 1st National Cahors from Tim Hage !! SUPER QUALITY !!

Discussion Point: How Do You Rate SharePoint 2016 Preview?
By David Roe | Sep 14, 2015
It's been three weeks since Microsoft released the SharePoint 2016 Preview.
We realize this is a preview – essentially an unfinished application. But we thought it would be interesting to get some initial feedback from some Microsoft MVPs and SharePoint experts.
What do you love about the SharePoint 2016 Preview — and what do you hate?
Christian Buckley, CMO, Beezy
Buckley is an Office365 MVP, Top 25 SharePoint Influencer, and Chief Marketing Officer for Beezy, an Office 365 and SharePoint ISV focusing on UX, social, and enterprise collaboration. Prior to Beezy, Christian was a key part of two SharePoint ISV acquisitions, served as Chief Evangelist for Metalogix, and was member of the Microsoft team that launched SharePoint Online (now part of Office365). Tweet to Christian Buckley.
It's difficult to have an opinion right now. It's still too early. My team installed the bits right away and tested our solutions to test whether or not our core functionality has been impacted. It hasn't. From here, we'll be going through and testing core scenarios and exploring the release.
What is most compelling to me about this release are the improvements around data security and compliance, with the ability to build your own policies to manage sensitive data. Governance continues to be a major topic for customers, and this latest release continues to move this topic forward.
We are still playing with it, but the expansion of DLP (data loss prevention) and ability to create custom policies around it is new. But the real question is parity with Office 365. Not sure yet.
Randy Drisgill, Manager, Rackspace
Drisgill is the manager of development and user experience for SharePoint at Rackspace. He has more than ten years of experience developing, designing, and implementing Internet-based software for clients ranging from small business to Fortune 500 companies. Randy has been working with SharePoint since the beta of SharePoint 2007 and has worked on many large-scale internal and public facing SharePoint branding projects. Tweet to Randy Drisgill.
In a lot of ways the SharePoint 2016 Preview is focused on improving upon the already successful SharePoint 2013 release.
Improvements such as large file support and durable links are really interesting, but I think the most anticipated feature is hybrid cloud search, which will allow you to use Office 365 search and Delve to return results from the cloud as well as your on-premises SharePoint content.
If I had to pick something I don't like about the SharePoint 2016 Preview it would be the lack of improvements to web content management and publishing. I still think SharePoint is a very popular solutions for corporate intranet portals and would love to see some enhancements here.
Simon de Baene, CEO, Sharegate
Quebec-based de Baene is an entrepreneur "inspired by simplicity at all levels of product development." He's the founder and CEO at Sharegate, a software company that develops a SharePoint/Office 365 migration and management product, a product advisor at Officevibe and President at GSoft. He said he's passionate about product development, innovation and company culture. He also enjoys traveling, skateboarding, playing hockey and "reading a book while enjoying a nice glass of wine." Tweet to Simon de Baene.
The fact Microsoft took what it learned from Office 365 and reused it for SharePoint on-premises will probably make a lot of people happy. More lean, more robust and better performance.
Not that I hate that, but I'm a little disappointed that SharePoint 2016 doesn't bring much more business value than 2013.
I still don't see the wow factor that will make everyone move to 2016. First time I've used 2016, I couldn't visually make the difference with 2013. But that being said, it can also be a good thing: not many things will break from one version to another, and trust me I know how painful it can be.
Naomi Moneypenny, CTO, Synxi
Naomi Moneypenny is Chief Technology Officer at Synxi, where she leads the development team for the adaptive recommendations machine learning engine for SharePoint and other social business systems such as Yammer and Tibbr. She is also responsible for the knowledge infrastructure internally for the organization. Tweet to Naomi Moneypenny.
This Preview release is predominantly geared towards the IT Professional community. In my mind, the most exciting feature from this perspective is that SharePoint 2016 has new possibilities that are unlocked by the new search experience that enables content from existing 2010 and 2013 farms to be indexed, queried and surfaced in the new experiences, without having to actually migrate the data.
This means that this deployment can have a fundamentally different strategy than those before, the 'lift and shift' method that takes so much time and planning and provides degraded user experience in the transition may not be required this time around. Companies who want to have a hybrid footprint will also be able to do this and build a bridge to the cloud on their terms.
Of course, there are many improvements to play around with in this Preview, and it's fantastic to see it available and the ability for folks to play around with it and give it a chance to run wherever they'd like.
One of the reasons I stress that this Preview is for IT Pros, is that the vast majority of features and functionality improvement released are in the back-end of SharePoint. From a front end perspective, the interface that you will use every day has some updates available in the Preview, but doesn't show the ultimate experience.
Jeff Fried, CTO and VP of Engineering, BA Insight
Fried focuses on strategic applications of search technology. He came to BA Insight from Microsoft, where he served as technical product manager for all Microsoft enterprise search products. He is a frequent speaker and writer in the industry, holds 15 patents and has authored more than 50 technical papers, and has led the creation of offerings in next generation search engines, networks and contact centers. He is a co-author of Professional SharePoint 2013 Development and Professional Microsoft Search. Tweet to Jeff Fried
Apparently love and hate are closely linked in the human brain, at least according to neuroscientists. The SharePoint 2016 preview fits this – it's hard to understand how I can simultaneously be so excited and so disappointed.
I love that Microsoft is getting this out so early and making it so easy to try. I love that there's emphasis on the IT experience and the underlying scale, availability and trust.
But I'm frustrated that things I wanted to see, like how the mobile experience is different, don't seem to be there. I found some more touch-oriented controls, but by and large the same templates, master pages. Emphasis on the guts and delaying some of the pretty face niceties is better than the other way around, I guess.
I love the emphasis on hybrid. As a search nerd, the cloud hybrid search capabilities and the ability to light up Delve with on-premises content are my favorites. But that's in preview for SP2013, too. And the experiences you're tapping into are by their nature already visible in Office 365. This reduces the impact from black-and-white (I can do this now, I couldn't before) to grey (this is better integrated, easier to set up). It's incredibly important to do this well, it's just somehow less inspiring.
That being said, there's a lot of stuff I find cool in the hybrid experience. Search, of course!!! Leveraging the azure video capabilities for on-premises content is very cool. And the integration of OneDrive, though not at all surprising, is something I think users will love. (Just can't wait until OneDrive sync gets fixed).
I love the deploy experience. The preview just installed and worked. I love the performance and limit increases, at least the things I've played with - for example site provisioning is an order of magnitude quicker, and uploading files is blazing fast. I love the idea of MinRole, the scenario picker, the higher performance. I particularly love the distributed cache changes. SharePoint 2016 uses AppFabric from the OS, rather than doing its own thing. Not much to hate here, except the fact that Microsoft is creating work for me to adjust to a new way of packaging and deployment.
There are lots of things I haven't touched yet, and lots of things I'm still digesting. For example - UPRE (the User Profile sync) seemed to be missing, leaving me without SharePoint changes flowing back to AD. Then I realized you could do this with FIM externally, though I haven't tried that yet. This is the right thing for Microsoft to do, since UPRE was barely functional anyway - it's just different. Do I love it or hate it? I won't know until I have worked with it in the real world.
Overall, the preview is visibly ahead of the builds I've seen earlier. Still stuff missing, but a lot there already.
Eric Riz, Founder and CEO, Empty Cubicle
Riz is the founder and CEO of Toronto, Ontario-based Empty Cubicle, which is focused on facilitating connections between job seekers and employers looking for independent talent. He also sits on the Microsoft Solution Advisory Board, acts as a Judge for the Microsoft Imagine Cup and is a three-time recipient of the SharePoint MVP award. Tweet to Eric Riz.
The IT Preview has been widely embraced by the SharePoint community.
Many of the expected collaborative experiences have been included in the Preview, and users are finding the functionality particularly useful in the areas of mobile and touch, the app launcher and user profile service.
Without question, this release pushes collaboration to new heights and allows users to make critical business decisions faster.
Jeff Willinger, Director, Rightpoint
Willinger is director of collaboration, social business and intranets at Rightpoint, where he specializes in advising clients on social computing strategies, collaborative intranets and portals, mobile reach versus reach and increasing employee engagement.

These activities include organizing events around Microsoft solutions, such as SharePoint, Yammer, Salesforce, EpiServer, Sitecore and business process to enterprise customers. Tweet to Jeff Willinger.
SharePoint 2016 makes some solid improvements for the user experience, but feels more like an update than a major new release.
I love the improved user experience and the new search service that indexes both on-premises content within SharePoint 2016 and also Office 365 or SharePoint Online content. The indexes will then be combined and users can search a single time and have results that match their search query string populated from both locations without any additional fuss.
Whereas, I will eventually love search, it is currently my disappointment. The 'hybrid' unified cloud search is not quite there yet.
Oliver Wirkus, Senior SharePoint consultant, Softlanding
Oliver Wirkus is a Senior SharePoint Consultant at Softlanding in Vancouver, British Columbia. A SharePoint expert and software architect, he has consulted for a variety of industries and specializes in international projects. He is a published, international speaker, former moderator of SPUG Stuttgart, and has been voted one of the Top 25 European SharePoint Community Influencers in recent years. Tweet to Oliver Wirkus.
I've been involved with the SharePoint practice for more than 10 years now and have seen many SharePoint farms. From my experience, only a few of them had been up to date, usually missing at least one cumulative update — some even missing more.
SharePoint admins often try to avoid the complex and risky process of installing a cumulative update to their SharePoint farm. However, with the simplified ease of Zero Downtime Patching, I expected more SharePoint farms to be up to date.
Some of you might know that I have been promoting document management with SharePoint for many years. For a DMS it is important to be able to access a document regardless of its place of storage. With DocumentIDs this can be accomplished, but to be honest, dealing with DocumentIDs is everything but user-friendly.
With SharePoint 2016, I'm expecting a vast improvement in user-experience with Durable Links, an added benefit that enables documents to be accessed by their initial URL even if it has been moved. Just this feature can eliminate some of the confusion that many SharePoint professionals and users face on a day-to-day basis.
To my disappointment, I recognized that the UI hasn't changed in the current beta of SharePoint 2016. A few years ago, the out-of-the-box branding of SharePoint 2013 had been considered modern and state of the art, however a lot has changed and improved since then. A modern and responsive design and mobile access are requested by many companies and I was expecting SharePoint 2016 to meet these requirements in an improved way.
SharePoint 2016 might not come with many new or improved features, but it is a true and important milestone for many companies on their journey from 'on premises' to the cloud. I still expect many companies to upgrade to SharePoint 2016.

Q: C# Multiple Keys to one Value I am looking for a C# container that can map multiple keys to a single object. For example: a single person can be referenced by his English name, or his Spanish name. I want to do this so that I don't have to create multiple copies of Dictionaries, and when I add/remove from the structure, I only have to add/remove once. Does such a structure exist?

A: Yes it exists: Dictionary<TKey, TValue>
There is no reason why you can't add a single object instance with multiple keys:
public class Person
{
    public string EnglishName { get; set; }
    public string SpanishName { get; set; }
}

public static class PersonDictExtensions
{
    public static void AddPerson(this IDictionary<string, Person> persons, Person person)
    {
        persons.Add(person.EnglishName, person);
        persons.Add(person.SpanishName, person);
    }

    public static void RemovePerson(this IDictionary<string, Person> persons, Person person)
    {
        foreach (var item in persons.Where(x => object.ReferenceEquals(x.Value, person)).ToList())
        {
            persons.Remove(item.Key);
        }
    }
}

var person = new Person { EnglishName = "Foo", SpanishName = "Bar" };
var dict = new Dictionary<string, Person>();
dict.AddPerson(person);
dict.RemovePerson(person);

EDIT
Ups I understand: only one add and remove? Hm. Doesn't know that such a structure exists. Maybe you can add an extension method to handle that cases.
I changed the code...

Q: Two matrix p x m and n x p can not be multiplied because m and n are not equal, what does m,n,and p represent? So we can multiply m x p with p x n and we get m x n. Why does this work? Is it because p in m x p equals p in p x n. I'm just trying to understand, what does these variables actually represent.

A: The first matrix has $m$ rows and $p$ columns, the second matrix has $p$ rows and $n$ columns.
The entries of the product are calculated by multiplying each row of the first matrix with each column of the second matrix via the dot-product.
This only works, if the numbers of entries coincide. Each row of the first matrix has $p$ entries as well as each column of the second matrix in our case.
The result is a matrix consisting of $m\cdot n$ dot-products of vectors with $p$ entries.

Faiza playing cricket
Dr. Faiza Hussain was working triage in London during the Skrull Invasion, doing her best to keep people alive in the middle of the conflict. Her base of operations was attacked by a Skrull war machine, but Dane Whitman, the Black Knight, intervened, killing the war machine's pilot, and sending the machine itself crashing to the ground. Dane scouted the area to see if there were any survivors, and then brought Faiza along to check them out. While they were checking on survivors near the downed war machine, one of its devices came to life, blasting Faiza and knocking her out cold.[4]
While Faiza was unconscious, she dreamed of King Arthur's fabled sword, Excalibur. When Dane returned to check on her, having gotten the survivors to safety, Faiza came around. Panicked at the figure looming over her, she accidentally triggered her powers for the first time, turning Dane into a living cross-section. Faiza quickly pulled herself together, and figured out how to revoke her power, returning Dane to normal.[2]
Faiza drawing Excalibur from the stone
Moments later, Faiza and Dane were attacked by further Skrull troops. Dane killed a number of Skrulls, but Faiza ended the battle using another new power, the ability to immobilize other people, to paralyze the rest.[2] After Captain Britain resurrected and defeated the Skrulls using Excalibur, Faiza took the sword from the stone where Captain Britain left it after his victory and became the new master of Excalibur,[5] and joined MI13 as Black Knight's steward.[6]
Agent of MI-13
As a member of MI13, Faiza was deployed with her team to combat various supernatural threats including Plokta.[7] As his steward, Faiza accompanied the Black Knight to Wakanda to retrieve the original Ebony Blade.[8] When Dracula attacked the United Kingdom, he personally attacked Faiza's family, injuring her mother while kidnapping her father and sending forces to attack the members of MI13.[9] Taking on the codename Excalibur, Faiza accompanied her team to fight Dracula.[10] Excalibur was able to confront Dracula and slew him with her sword.[11]
Further Adventures
Along with her teammates, Excalibur was invited to Washington, D.C. by Captain Steve Rogers to represent the United Kingdom as they ushered in the new Heroic Age.[12] Excalibur was also part of the honoguard the a delegation from Aqiria visited the United Kingdom.[13]
Excalibur was invited by Queen Elizabeth II to knight individuals at Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately, Gambit posed as Sir Antony Ellis to steal the Excalibur sword from her to give to Mr. Cich. Fortunately, Pete Wisdom was waiting for Gambit outside of the Palace, and quickly apprehended him.[14]
When Gambit was forced into a trap at Pace Federal Penitentiary by Mr. Cich, Excalibur, MI13, and Avengers Unity Division arrived to save him. When Gambit was shot in the head during the battle, Excalibur was able to heal him and save his life.[15]
When Cable's X-Force was attacking allied forces in Afghanistan, MI13 send in Pete Wisdom, Gloriana, and Excalibur as reinforcements.[16] Excalibur went toe-to-toe with Marrow until she was hit with one of Doctor Nemesis' tranquilizer darts.[17]
While on a joint MI13/S.H.I.E.L.D. mission in Madripoor, Excalibur saved Wolverine's life, having been severely poisoned without his healing factor.[18]
Excalibur cleansing a Hydra agent
During Hydra's take-over of the United States, their cells in France also mobilized. Faiza joined the Champions of Europe and freed Paris from the Hydra invasion force.[19]
Marvel's Medics
Along with Night Nurse, Cardiac, and Manikin, Excalibur was recruited to a medical superhero team by Valkyrie and Doctor Strange with the purpose of saving Death.[20]

Fighting Skills
Faiza creating a living cross-section of Black Knight
After being hit with an alien weapon during the Skrull invasion of Earth, Dr. Faiza Hussain awoke with strange new powers,[21] including:
Psionic Bio-Deconstruction: Faiza has the power to disassemble anything, including people, into their component parts, manipulate them on an atomic level, and reassemble them. While taking people apart, she can take their limbs, organs, and bones apart, then reassemble them, putting them back together, and then restore it to its original condition. This is possible due to the fact that she innately knows the composition of anything she affects with her powers. Faiza is also capable of focusing on certain areas in particular. Those affected by Faiza's power remain conscious and able to talk throughout. She can affect multiple targets simultaneously, but the more objects she attempts to manipulate, the greater the concentration is required from her. When using her powers on living beings, the target is rendered immobile until she allows them to move.[2] Faiza finds it easier to affect shape-shifters, such as Skrulls, but more difficult to affect magic-based beings.[2][22][16][3]
Paralysis: Faiza can also immobilize multiple people at once, without disassembling them. The effect lasts until Faiza wills otherwise.[2]
Healing: Faiza has the ability to heal the wounds of others.[5][6][15]
Medical Training: Faiza was a skilled medical doctor.[4][3]
Fandom: Faiza was a massive fan of the British superhero community, and knew a considerable amount regarding it.[4] She was also a fan of other non-British superheroes.[8][12]
Cricket: Faiza enjoys cricket and calls it her "other fandom".[23]
Magic Detection: Armed with Excalibur, Faiza can sense magic near herself.[24]
Martial Arts: As an agent of MI13, Excalibur has received hand-to-hand combat training including kung fu.[6][3]
Swordsmen: Faiza came to be skilled with the use of a sword.
Excalibur[5]
Faiza was given the alias "Excalibur" by Pete Wisdom.[1]
However, she has expressed reluctance to calling herself "Excalibur," once clarifying that it's other people who call her that, and comparing calling herself after her weapon to calling Thor after his hammer Mjolnir.[25]
Excalibur's identity is kept secret by various magical spells and technology.[6]
When Faiza actively uses her power, a blue glow appears around her hand. This blue glow also appears around anyone currently affected by the power.[22]
Faiza had romantic feelings for Dane Whitman, the Black Knight.[1] The pair even dated for a time.[11][26][3]

The Motorra Dolmen () is a Bronze Age tomb or dolmen situated in the comune of Dorgali in the Province of Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy.

Location
The dolmen is situated 8 kilometres (5 miles) to the north of Dorgali on the S125 road towards Orosei. A sign by the side of the road marks the track that leads to the dolmen. A few kilometres away is the Ispinigoli Cave.

Description
The dolmen consists of an entranceway which leads to a polygonal chamber. The eight upright stones of the chamber support an almost circular slab of schist. The dolmen is one of many ancient sites around Dorgali, and is one of the best preserved dolmens in Sardinia. Finds of pottery have linked the dolmen to the Ozieri culture of the Bronze (or Chalcolithic) age, and is dated to around 2800 BC.
