I can understand windfarm concerns — council chairman
Posted By National Wind Watch On September 21, 2007 @ 6:25 am In England | Comments Disabled
Proposals for a five-turbine wind farm between Bilsthorpe and Eakring will have an 'adverse impact' on the landscape, leading councillors have admitted.
Developers Harworth Power and Eakring Farming submitted controversial new plans earlier this year for the 100m-high turbines at two locations – the former Bilsthorpe Colliery site and Stonish Hill, near Eakring.
The project was discussed by Nottinghamshire County Council's cabinet last Wednesday, and although members did not object to the plans they raised a number of concerns to Newark & Sherwood District Council – which will decide on the plans.
A report presented to cabinet members said there would be a major visual impact from the large turbines, but this could be outweighed by the environmental benefits of using renewable energy.
It says: "The scale of the development is considered to be beyond the capacity of the landscape within which it is set, resulting in a dominating feature with a significant visual impact upon a wide area of landscape that is sensitive to change."
The reports adds that the wind farm, which is expected to produce electricity for up to 5,500 households, would help the county meet targets for producing renewable energy.
Two protest groups – the Eakring Turbine Action Group (ETAG) and Bilsthorpe Residents Against Turbines (BRATS) – have been set up fight against the plans, amid concerns the two sites are unsuitable and the turbines will blight the landscape.
And Coun David Kirkham, leader of the county council, told Chad after the meeting he understood the concerns of residents.
He said: "We didn't raise any objections, but we are asking the planning committee to take into consideration some of the issues we are making.
"Generally, I have got nothing against windfarms producing energy, but I can understand the concerns there are about noise. When it is near people's houses I can understand the worries they have."
In November last year planning chiefs at Newark & Sherwood District Council turned down plans for a similar scheme with seven turbines in the same location.
At the time fears were raised by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) that the turbines would interfere with radar – but developers hope they have tackled this by having fewer turbines at a lower height.

A friend of Daisy's who becomes Nick's girlfriend. A successful pro golfer, Jordan is beautiful and pleasant, but does not inspire Nick to feel much more than a "tender curiosity" for her. Perhaps this is because Baker is "incurably dishonest" and cheats at golf. Still, there is some suggestion in the novel that she loves Nick, and that he misjudges her.
The timeline below shows where the character Jordan Baker appears in The Great Gatsby. The colored dots and icons indicate which themes are associated with that appearance.

The Epson C64 is capable of producing great quality printouts. Some day your Epson C64 will polish off its printer ink, and when it does you'll soon notice that purchasing Epson C64 ink may be quite costly. Thank goodness you have no reason to be anxious about coughing up the high prices you'll discover on the high street because here at InkQatar you can pick up all the Epson C 64 cartridges you will want at low cost. Save cash on your ink by purchasing online with InkQatar!
Don't pay high prices for a C-64 original cartridge or C64 compatible ink in the high street when it's simple to save a handful of cash ordering online with InkQatar. You get full satisfaction when you order Stylus C64 ink cartridges from us because every one is covered by a straight forward 30 day money back guarantee. Take into consideration that each order comes with free delivery, normally arriving with you on the following working day!
The Epson Stylus C64 is an entry-level printer that boasts the company's long-lasting inks with separate ink cartridges. The Stylus C64 printer is significantly quieter than its predecessors and features an improved design, but users might be disappointed with the absence of some essential features offered in more expensive printers by Epson.
The Epson Stylus C64 colour inkjet printer is designed for individual users and families with minimal printing needs. Its compact and sleek frame measures 12.1 inches tall, 23.3 inches deep, and 18.1 inches wide with the trays extended. The Epson Stylus C64 is lightweight, weighing approximately 4.21kg. The paper feed juts out from the rear and can take in up to 120 sheets at a time, while the output tray is an expandable feature in the front centre. Most configurations for the Stylus C64 are done on-screen, making it quite user-friendly with minimal buttons on-board.
This single-function device is fairly fast (9ppm in colour and 17ppm in mono), and integrated with the 4 separate ink cartridge technology so users only have to replace one empty cartridge when it runs out. The Epson Stylus C-64 inkjet printer can print photos without borders, and prints last longer with noticeable water-resistance, even on plain paper, because the Epson Stylus C64 colour printer uses DURABrite inks. It is also easy to install and operate the Epson Stylus C-64.
There are essential features missing in the Epson Stylus C64 such as networking and direct printing. The feed mechanism lacks a roll holder for photo paper and a bypass slot for envelopes and single sheets. Epson needs to provide high-capacity ink cartridges for the Epson Stylus C64 to make it cheaper and more efficient to run.

Agnona es una firma italiana de moda, dedicada también a la fabricación de tejidos y la decoración del hogar. Fundada en 1953 por Francesco Ilorini Mo, y dirigida posteriormente por Alberto Ilorini, fue adquirida por el grupo Ermenegildo Zegna en 1999. Agnona era originariamente una fábrica de tejidos de lana que producía tejidos para firmas de moda, hasta que en la década de los 70 del siglo XX comenzó su propia firma de moda.

Historia
La empresa fue fundada en 1953 por Francesco Ilorini Mo y se encontraba originariamente en Borgosesia, Italia. Desde entonces, Agnona ha suministrado tejidos a diseñadores de moda a nivel internacional. Entre los clientes iniciales de estas telas estaban Balenciaga, Balmain, Pierre Cardin y Chanel. Alberto Ilorini, hijo de Francesco Ilorini, asumió el control de la empresa, convirtiéndose en el director de la misma, también una vez que ésta pasó a manos de Ermenengildo Zegna en enero de 1999.

Tejidos
Aunque al principio se comercializaban tan solo en Europa, en 1960 Agnona comenzó a exportarlos a Japón después de que Ilorini realizara un viaje personal a la isla para estudiar la posibilidad de entrar en el mercado nipón. En 1961 se adentró en el mercado estadounidense. A finales de la década de los 60, Agnona comenzó a adquirir la lana para sus tejidos fuera de Italia, importándola de regiones como América del Sur, China, Australia y el Tíbet. También participa en varias empresas extranjeras para garantizar el material.

Agnona produce unos cinco mil tipos de lana diferentes. Entre estos tipos de lana se incluyen la cachemira, mohair, de camello, alpaca y vicuña. En 1997, entre los clientes que utilizaban tejidos de Agnona en sus prendas estaban Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Gianni Versace, Jil Sander, Escada, Hugo Boss, Dior, Hermès, Valentino, Gianfranco Ferre, Joyce, Sanyo y Marc Jacobs. La empresa es parte del Consorcio Internacional de Vicuña, que tiene derechos exclusivos de la venta y comercialización de la lana de vicuña.

Ropa
Agnona cuenta con secciones tanto de ropa como de tejidos. Su sección de ropa y decoración del hogar se inició en la década de los 70, incluyendo moda ready-to-wear, géneros de punto y una colección del hogar. Su línea de accesorios incluye bufandas, corbatas y chales. Entre las prendas de Agnona se incluyen abrigos, pantalones, faldas, vestidos y otros elementos. Entre los directores que las líneas encontramos a Roberto Jorio Fili, quien más tarde dirigió Calvin Klein.

A finales de la década de los 90, Agnona comenzó a abrir tiendas independientes además de seguir vendiendo sus productos en grandes almacenes. Los puntos de venta en los EE. UU. en esa década incluían Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue y Barneys New York. En 1997 abrió su primera boutique independiente en la ciudad de Nueva York. Anteriormente, Agnona tan solo había abierto boutiques propias en Milán. También tenía franquicias en Osaka y Tokio. Agnona fue adquirida por Zegna en 1999 para ampliar sus líneas de prendas de punto.

En enero de 2001, Mario Giraudi fue elegido director ejecutivo de Agnona. Ese año, el 50 % de las ventas de la empresa fueron para prendas de mujer, el 25 % para prendas de hombre y un 25 % para decoración del hogar. Desde entonces, la línea para hombre ha desaparecido. En 2004 las prendas de Agnona hicieron su aparición en las tiendas de Zegna. Daniela Cattaneo se convirtió entonces en la directora creativa de la marca de moda. En 2006, Gunn Johansson fue nombrado diseñador de la línea de ropa para mujer de Agnona. La firma también recibía asesoramiento del director de Gucci, Domenico De Sole, así como del director ejecutivo de Agnona, Tord von Dryssen. En dicho año, el 90 % de los beneficios de la empresa provenían de la ropa y solo el 10 % de los tejidos.

De 2012 a 2015, la línea de ropa de Agnona tomó como diseñador jefe a Stefano Pilati, quien amplió la colección de accesorios con la línea de bolsos Cara. In May 2014, Alessandra Carra pasó a ser la directora ejecutiva de la firma.

WHERE IS LEVELS?. . . Some claim star producer has fled to SA
Tafadzwa 'Levels' Kadzimwe
WHERE is Levels?
That's the big question in Harare right now as Chillspot records producer, Tafadzwa 'Levels' Kadzimwe, has simply disappeared from the radar.
He is reported to have skipped the border after being fingered in a rape case.
Levels was accused of allegedly raping his ex-lover and musician Ashley 'Shashl' Moyo.
The star producer had allegedly leaked their sex tape.
Shashl lodged a complaint with the police at Borrowdale Police Station.
Levels went underground, from the time he was reported to the police, and reports claim he is now in South Africa.
An impeccable source told H-Metro that Levels has been trying in vain to invite Shashl to South Africa to negotiate the possible withdrawal of the charges.
"Levels cannot be located or reached on his mobile phone," said the source.
"He was last seen at Borrowdale Police Station with Shashl for counselling a day before the latter lodged a police report against him.
"It is from that meeting where Levels sensed danger, the consequences of the nude videos, and decided to flee," said the source.
However, police spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, promised to furnish H-Metro with more details surrounding Levels' case today on why he still hasn't been nabbed.
The Levels' rape case arose after his sex tape with Shashl leaked.
It has divided opinion in this country with one group questioning the rape allegations.
The other group has been critical of Levels and say he should be punished.
"There is a misconception that if people are lovers then one cannot rape the other party," said one of those who are on Shashl's side.
"They don't know that you can even be reported for rape by your wife, whom you would have been staying with for even 20 years.
"It's about her saying no, and you force yourself on her."
Many of the local celebrities, especially the women, have been singing in Shashl's corner.

Cats are good at hiding any type of illness, by being quiet and hiding. You may not be fully aware that something is wrong since cats can be experts at hiding pain or discomfort. By nature, cats are independent animals, however they still need to be examined by a veterinarian on a a semi-annual basis.
As a cat owner, you should be aware of any changes in eating habits, playfulness and general overall health. If you notice any changes in behavior, such as a change in eating or drinking habits, a change in urination or defecation, not greeting you the way they normally would, reluctance to jump up or move around the way they typically would… these are the subtle signs of what could be a serious health problem, and it is time to schedule a veterinary exam.
At Prestige Animal Hospital, we recommend performing basic lab tests at least once a year, as well as reviewing nutrition and any behavioral issues you may be noticing.
Of course, we realize that some cats don't like getting into the cat carrier and going for a ride. In these circumstances, we recommend coaxing your cat into his carrier by using a treat, and trying to soothe your kitty during the car ride. You can also spray a product called Feliway, a synthetic copy of the feline facial pheromone used by cats to mark their territory as safe and secure, into the cat carrier before the car ride.
Cats should have a thorough dental cleaning around age 3-4. We will do a dental exam and look for any abnormalities in the mouth. By age 3 virtually all cats have some kind of painful dental issue. Some dental conditions can start even in kittens! In addition to problems with their teeth, cats can develop tumors inside of their mouths and since they are so adept at hiding pain, especially dental pain, it is very easy to overlook these issues. However, make no mistake, dental issues are painful and seriously affect the quality of life.
At Prestige Animal Hospital we assess the body condition of the cat, and determine if he is the correct weight. A wellness exam also includes palpating the abdomen for organ size making sure that all is normal and checking for any lumps or bumps. We will also collect urine and blood samples for yearly labs. Preventative care is extremely important, along with vaccines, parasite control and deworming.
Your cat should be examined at twice per year. You may not be aware that kitty is not feeling well, and it's better to stay one step ahead of any potential medical issues.
Cats age much quicker than we do, so doing yearly labs are advised. Cats can be prone to kidney disease, a condition we see quite often. If we can catch the kidney disease early, we may be able to change their diet to control or reverse it to improve their quality of life. We will also check your cat for intestinal parasites by checking a stool sample. Depending on the condition of your cat, any symptoms you have noticed, concerns you have or test results, diagnostic imaging may also be recommended when appropriate to provide our doctors with the information necessary to make an accurate diagnosis and come to a recommendation for treatment.

Kids at War: The Training
The photos below were taken by various media mainstream sources in the summer of this year (2000) at several Palestinian "summer camps".
We suggest one and all to look at these pictures closely. Look at the faces on these children. Look at the seriousness, at the hate, and especially look at those training these children...
Drama lessons - children dressed up as evil "settlers" (notice the large kippot and the "payot"!) hold a poor Palestinian peasant at gunpoint.
Getting actual shooting training.
Crawl, it makes you tough. This child can't wait to slither between the enemy lines
Girls too, the PLO obviously believe in the equality of the sexes. Notice the interest in the girls faces.
Blindfolded, a child waits in line in front of his peers to take apart and assemble an automatic rifle. Just think what pressure this child is feeling.
Same child is now getting his chance to show his worth the to Jihad. His commanders watch him very closely, teaching them all that no mistakes will be allowed.
Marching, like their elders; getting them conditioned to obey orders. On orders from their "commander" - these children are told to yell, to let out their rage at the pathetic Zionist enemy, and that is just what they are doing.

Front-Line Training
Thirteen-year-old Omar Assad throws down his school satchel, puts on his ski mask, loads up his slingshot and sets off down the rockstrewn road towards the armed Israeli soldiers - school is out and it's time for his extracurricular activities. For Omar and his schoolmates who every day after classes swell the ranks of those clashing with troops protecting a road to a Jewish settlement near this flashpoint West Bank [sic] town, the afternoon's activities have much in common with football practice. There is teamwork to be learned - who will use slingshots, who will throw stones, who will make the Molotov cocktails, who will throw them and, most important, who will be responsible for picking up the streaming teargas canisters and flinging them back at the Israelis. There are individual skills to be learned - how to select the right-sized stone, how to make an effective slingshot, how to sling the stones, how to make and dispatch Molotovs. And there are the defensive moves - dodging teargas canisters and rubber bullets, avoiding live rounds, dealing with a tear-gassing (sniffing raw onion seems the most effective), and what to do if one of your team is injured. Omar, however, is angry with his parents for not allowing him to skip classes altogether, like some of his friends do. 'For my parents it's school first, then intifada,' he said through his multicolored ski mask. Among the bravest on the 'field,' Omar managed on Monday afternoon to crawl his way up to a concrete wall within 10 meters of the Israeli soldiers, and let fly with a stone the size of a golf ball. His bull's-eye was greeted by cheers from the several hundred Palestinians who had turned up on Wednesday for the daily clash. But his friend Hamid's efforts - a strike with a Molotov cocktail which set an army vehicle alight - drew the loudest cheer of the afternoon ... Late in the afternoon, as the flames of the barricades began casting an eerie glow over the faces of the protesters in the growing gloom, Omar Assad's brother - sent by his mother - came to call him home. It was time for him to do his homework.

Twitter Announces New Rules Targeting Imposter and Spam Accounts
Hudson Hongo
Filed to:spam
Last month, Gizmodo uncovered a disturbing scheme where Twitter spammers were apparently impersonating more than a dozen real women to sell diet pills. Now, it seems, the site is introducing new rules to help stop fake accounts like these.
On Monday, Twitter announced several updates to the company's policies aimed at fighting "emergent, malicious behaviors" by fake accounts, repeat offenders, and the spread of hacked information.
In September, women who said their photos were stolen by spam accounts expressed anger and frustration at Twitter's reporting process. "I've seen my stuff on [T]witter and try to report it and [T]witter says it's not enough proof," one woman told Gizmodo. "I'm like how can a whole account using my photos not be enough proof?"
In Monday's blog post, Twitter said it was aware of complaints that its "rules about spam and fake accounts only cover common spam tactics." Under the new rules, Twitter will consider additional factors, such as whether potentially fake accounts use stock or stolen avatar photos and stolen or copied profile bios. Together, the company says these polices reflect its mission to halt evolving "platform manipulation tactics" and inauthentic behavior.
Additionally, Twitter said it is expanding its "enforcement approach" to target accounts that "deliberately mimic or are intended to replace accounts we have previously suspended for violating our rules." Previously, Gizmodo asked Twitter if there was a way to report multiple accounts simultaneously, as suspended spammer accounts were quickly replaced with duplicates. At the time, we were directed to a June blog post highlighting the site's use of machine learning tools.
Finally, Twitter has updated its hacking policies to prevent the dissemination of hacked content. While threats to hack were previously banned, the rules now explicitly prohibit the direct distribution of hacked information "that contains personally identifiable information, may put people in imminent harm or danger, or contains trade secrets." Twitter also said it is expanding the cases where it will suspend accounts directly connected to hacking.
In the blog post, the company stated that commentary on hacks, such as news articles about them, "are generally not considered a violation." And the new rules continue to allow parody and fan accounts, so long as they use language like "fake" or "parody" in their names and bios to clearly state that they are not affiliated with their subjects.
Twitter framed these rule updates as part of its efforts to protect the integrity of the United States' upcoming elections, highlighting the recent suspension of accounts impersonating state Republican parties and ones connected with apparent coordinated behavior from Iran. When you're facing regular public floggings on Capitol Hill, of course, protecting the sanctity of the union might sound like a nobler cause than addressing the bizarre spam schemes going viral on your site.

We have '1,000 affidavits from witnesses in 6 different states'
Taking the drug Ecstasy appears to help solve marriage problems, scientists discover
Taking the drug Ecstasy with a partner can be useful in helping couples solve problems affecting their marriages, a new study has suggested. Researchers say the Class A substance, also known as MDMA, can help to improve the "empathy and connection" between two people in their relationship. A study carried out in Canada saw the drug given to couples in which one partner had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) over a seven-week period. Couples were given MDMA twice during cognitive-behavioural conjoint therapy (CBCT) treatment, which traditionally involves therapy sessions to help reduce PTSD, during the trial. Both members were given 75mg or 100mg of ecstasy, with an optional extra dose. Ecstasy use was found to have improved the "empathy and connection" between participants, experts said. Professor Candice Monson, from Ryerson University, said: "The literature that inspired this study suggests that MDMA may allow people to talk about painful experiences without experiencing the pain again. "The therapist can guide couples to talk about very difficult things that they've either experienced themselves or experienced together – against the other or with the other – with a greater sense of understanding, openness, connection, and empathy. "It seems that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy can engender empathy and connection, opening a pathway to remembering why came together in the first place and a desire to understand the other." As the trial was uncontrolled, researchers say further studies are now scheduled to take place with more controls in place in order to confirm the accuracy of their "promising results". The study is published in the European Journal of Psychotraumatology. Dr Ben Sessa, a consultant psychiatrist at Imperial College London, said MDMA, possession of which can carry a prison sentence of up to seven years in the UK, can be "extremely effective" in clinical or therapeutic contexts. "MDMA is a drug which allows the user to address, reflect upon and resolve repressed emotional issues," he said. "It does this by switching the part of the brain that produces fear which allows you to address difficult memories, and psychological issues that you would normally repress or avoid. "It has this tremendous ability to create a strong sense of empathy and in the context of couples, this ability to have empathy and to see the other person's point of view is extremely valuable." Home Office figures show that between one and two per cent of Britons between the ages of 16 and 59 have used Ecstasy, which has previously been linked to treating alcohol addiction. In addition to a short-term feeling of happiness, use of the drug can heighten surroundings and increase feelings of love and affection towards others. However the effects of the drug can vary from person to person, and its use is usually followed by a comedown which can last for as long as a few days. "There's some historical evidence from the 1980s that in a large proportion of cases, clients found relational improvements with MDMA," said Dr Brian Earp, of Oxford University. "The inter-personal effects of these powerful drugs are just as important and they need to be studied as they will have these effects whether they are measured or not." In February, academics at Oxford said what they described as "MDMA-enhanced couples' therapy" could make a "big difference" as a last resort for couples in unfulfilling relationships.

In 1970, The Who staged two groundbreaking concerts in New York City's prestigious Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center.
Promoting its then recent and wildly popular rock opera Tommy, the band saw these shows as a means of elevating rock and roll to a level that would finally make the genre taken more seriously, as a legitimate form of music, much like opera or classical music.
Almost 50 years later, The Who returns to Lincoln Center, but in a radically different fashion.
During those 50 years, the band was faced with the challenges of carrying on after the deaths of founding members Keith Moon and John Entwistle in 1978 and 2002 respectively.
The band's follow-up opera, 1973's Quadrophenia, gained even more critical acclaim than Tommy.
Centered around a wayward teenager, Jimmy, in 1960s London, many would claim this album to not only be the superior rock opera, but arguably The Who's best album overall.
After the band finished a tour commemorating the 40-year anniversary of the record in 2013, guitarist and primary songwriter Pete Townshend went into the studio to revisit Quadrophenia.
Teaming up with musician Rachel Fuller and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, Townshend transformed an album that was originally recorded by a four-piece band, into a massive orchestral work that dwarfed even his wildest expectations.
Two years after the release of the new orchestral Quadrophenia, Townshend finally decided to take the show on the road in the United States with a quick three-city tour, including two nights at Lincoln Center, as part of The Who's annual Teen Cancer America charity concerts.
Compared to the massive stadiums and arenas that The Who have presented Quadrophenia in over the years, Lincoln Center is a much more intimate setting for The Who.
But, that did not mean that the audience was any less enthusiastic than usual, if the two sold-out nights were any indication.
If the Classic Quadrophenia studio album was already a musical powerhouse, it completely comes alive during the live performances. Bringing together the same orchestra and choir that originally played on the album, the rearrangements are given the perfect chance to shine.
The rest of the songs are arranged almost note to note from the original album. It is amazing as to how an album, originally recorded with a four-piece rock band, could lend itself to classical music without losing all that made it a unique listening experience to begin with.
With the exception of actor Phil Daniels, who played Jimmy's father in the new recording, all of the singers from Classic Quadrophenia reprise their roles for the live shows. Punk rock legend Billy Idol plays the dual role of the swaggering Ace Face and the pathetic Bell Boy.
Without diving too much into the routine that made him a global star, Idol does the character justice and pays respect to Keith Moon's original vocal performance of the character.
Townshend himself appears throughout the show, playing both the rock star godfather and Daniels' role of Jimmy's father.
While his vocals are great for a singer his age, it was admittedly amusing to see him move around the stage as a frontman rather than a guitarist.
The singer that really ties the whole production together is tenor Alfie Boe, playing the crucial role of Jimmy.
While he is well-known for his work in the opera and musical theater, including a gig playing Jean Valjean in the Broadway production of Les Misérables, Boe comes off as a natural rock and roll frontman.
The sole encore of the show was a reprise of "The Real Me," but with all three singers taking turns on lead vocals during the verses.
It may be a very unorthodox type of production to be staged at the Metropolitan Opera, but Classic Quadrophenia shows that rock music is more than worthy of standing alongside classical and opera as a high form of music.

Vermont resident avoids assault charges after victim refuses to proceed with case
A male resident of Vermont charged with assaulting a female of the same area, has avoided a criminal charge after the woman, whose eye was visibly bruised, indicated quietly to the court she did not want to proceed.
The alleged incident for which the defendant was charged occurred on November 5, the same day as general elections, while the two residents were in Vermont.
When the defendant was brought to the SOC yesterday, November 9, he pleaded not guilty to the crime of assault causing actual bodily harm. The next step was for the magistrate to ask the prosecution whether there was any objection to him being allowed bail. However, the prosecution indicated that the complainant wanted to say something.
The woman entered the court sporting a black eye on her left eye, and carrying a tissue to dab it.
She then entered the witness box, and was sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
The prosecution asked her, and she revealed that she is from Vermont, and that she knows the defendant.
She was facing the direction of Chief Magistrate Rechanne Browne, who asked her if she was comfortable, and observed that she didn't seem comfortable at all, and was shaking.
If she answered the magistrate, it was too soft to hear.
To the prosecution's next question as to whether she was proceeding with the matter, the reply was no.
The young woman indicated, when asked, that this was a decision that she arrived at, of her own free will, and she was not threatened or coerced.
The prosecution then stated that they were offering no further evidence.
The magistrate said that she noticed certain things, including the complainant's discomfort, rapid breathing and contemplated whether the injury was affecting the complainant's sight or could have quite easily done so.
She acknowledged that it was the complainant's decision, and said that the court is going to respect it.
"She took a certain course and you get to walk out here today but that sort of behaviour is not acceptable," Browne told the defendant.

Wildly Creative Student to Caption New Year's Insta With '2018: thank u, next'
Photo from Pixabay / CC0
By SOPHIE TROTTO
College senior Andrew Caplan is ready to say hello to 2019 and never look back.
"Look, 2018 was objectively kind of a shit year. In no particular order: I didn't get a return offer. Our country is falling apart. I had to take my physical world sector. My girlfriend and I very mutually broke up. And, furthermore, I still don't have a full-time job."
This New Year's Eve, Caplan is mildly excited to hang out with some high school friends he isn't super close with anymore. But more importantly, he's anxiously preparing to post to Instagram at 12:01 a.m., with an inspired, close-to-the-heart caption.
"I like Ariana Grande's music — you might even call me a 'stan,'" the senior explained. "The Insta caption came to me in a dream: '2018: thank u, next.'"
Our reporter gasped in shock at the brilliance of this caption, spilling iced coffee with almond milk all over their shirt. What a perfect way to capture both the terribleness of this past year and the amazingness of both Ariana Grande and her hit single, "thank u, next" (even if you lowkey hate all of your exes).
"You can't steal it," Caplan heartbreakingly remarked, "I already have it trademarked."

MASTER AND SERVANT - THE RELATION - TERMINATION - INDEFINITE TERM. A general or indefinite hiring is at will; and either party may terminate such a contract of employement at will.
 SAME - TERMINATION - PROVISION FOR PERIODIC COMPENSATION - EFFECT. Where a contract of employment provides that the employee shall be paid so much per week, month, or year, with nothing else to fix the time for which he is hired, the unit of time is treated merely as a means of measuring the compensation to be paid and not the duration of employment; and, in the absence of other circumstances or relevant facts, such a contract is held to be an indefinite hiring, terminable at the will of either party.
 SAME - ACTIONS FOR WRONGFUL DISCHARGE - TERM OF EMPLOYMENT - EVIDENCE - SUFFICIENCY. In an action for breach of an alleged oral contract of employment, the testimony of the discharged employee that three thousand dollars of the eighteen thousand dollar yearly compensation he was to receive was to be paid at the end of the year, was sufficient to take the case to the jury on the issue of whether there was a contract of employment for one year.
 FRAUDS, STATUTE OF - CONTRACTS NOT TO BE PERFORMED WITHIN ONE YEAR - EVIDENCE - SUFFICIENCY. Testimony of a discharged employee that he understood that he was to be employed for several years is not sufficient to establish any agreement between the parties to employ the employee for more than one year.
 MASTER AND SERVANT - ACTIONS FOR WRONGFUL DISCHARGE - TRIAL - INSTRUCTIONS - APPLICABILITY TO EVIDENCE - DURATION OF CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT - APPLICATION OF STATUTE OF FRAUDS. In an action for breach of an alleged oral contract of employment, it was prejudicial error for the trial court to instruct the jury that, if it found that the agreement of the parties was to employ the employee for a period of more than one year, it should find for the defendants, where there was no evidence by which the jury could have found that such an agreement existed.
 APPEAL AND ERROR - PRESERVATION OF GROUNDS - EXCEPTIONS TO INSTRUCTIONS. The supreme court will not consider an assignment of error directed to an instruction unless within the scope of the appellant's exception to the instruction in the trial court.
«1» Reported in 281 P. (2d) 832.
 See 161 A. L. R. 706; 35 Am. Jur. 458.
to instruct the jury that if it was not clearly understood by each of the parties that the employment was for the duration of one year, the jury should find for the defendants, since this would make it possible for the subjective understanding of a contract by a party to prevail over objective manifestations of an assent; and the error was prejudicial, where it appears that the instruction would almost amount to a directed verdict, in view of the employee's testimony from which the jury might conclude that he understood the contract to be for more than one year, and another instruction which told the jury that the contract was void if it was for more than one year.
 SAME - ACTIONS FOR WRONGFUL DISCHARGE - EVIDENCE - ADMISSIBILITY - COMPETENCY OF EMPLOYEE. In such an action, the trial court properly refused to allow the employee, in his case in chief, to testify Concerning the improvements and achievements attributable to his management; since that was not necessary to establish his cause of action and was not an issue unless the employers should in their defense present evidence of incompetency and mismanagement.
Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for King county, No. 447933, Whitfield, J., entered February 11, 1954, upon the verdict of a jury rendered in favor of the defendents, in an action for breach of contract of employment. Reversed.
J. Kalina and Michael S. Curtis, for appellant.
Monheimer, Schermer & Mifflin, for respondents.
This is an action for damages for breach of an alleged contract of employment. Quoting an instruction given by the trial court, ". . . the sole issue in this case is whether or not there was a contract of employment for a year certain between plaintiff and defendant corporations. . . ."
". . . I'll pay you $18,000 a year, and I'll pay it in this manner: $15,000 a year to be divided in $1,250 monthly payments, which would be $15,000. At the end of the year you will receive $3,000."
The plaintiff accepted this offer and went to work immediately. Plaintiff further testifies that there was no discussion as to what would happen if he or the employer became dissatisfied.
There was nothing to contradict the plaintiff's testimony as to the terms of his employment, as the officer who had represented the defendant corporations in the transaction died prior to the trial.
It is conceded that the plaintiff commenced work about the middle of February, and that he was discharged about the middle of June, and that he was paid for five months, February through June, both inclusive, at the rate of twelve hundred fifty dollars a month, or sixty-two hundred fifty dollars.
The defendants offered no evidence bearing upon their alleged defenses of discharge for cause and failure to mitigate damages, so that if there was anything to go to the jury, it was as the instruction quoted at the beginning of this opinion stated, was there a contract of employment for one year. If there was such a contract, it had been breached and the damages were eleven thousand seven hundred fifty dollars; if there was not such a contract, it was an employment terminable at will.
The jury returned a verdict for the defendant corporations, and the plaintiff appeals.
The respondents have urged at all times in the superior court and in this court that the appellant did not present sufficient evidence to take his case to the jury, and we must first examine that contention.
 Both parties are agreed that a general or indefinite hiring is at will, and that either party may, at any time, terminate such a contract of employment.
to merely as a means of measuring the compensation to be paid, and not the duration of the employment, and, in the absence of other circumstances or relevant facts, hold an agreement to pay so much a week, month, or year, to be an indefinite hiring, terminable at the will of either party. Savage v. Spur Distributing Co. (1949), 33 Tenn. App. 27, 228 S. W. (2d) 122. See annotations, 11 A.L.R. 469, 100 A.L.R. 834, 161 A.L.R. 717, 35 Am. Jur. 458, 459, Master and Servant, § 20. The latter cases represent the majority rule in the United States, and the rule which this court had adopted. See Davidson v. Mackall-Paine Veneer Co. (1928), 149 Wash. 685, 271 Pac. 878. In that case, the circumstance relied on by the employee to establish a hiring for a year was a custom in the industry to employ superintendents on a yearly basis, which custom we held was not established by the evidence. See, also, Rohda v. Boen (1954), 45 Wn. (2d) 553, 276 P. (2d) 586.
103 Atl. 984; Gressing v. Musical Instrument Sales Co. (1918), 222 N. Y. 215, 118 N. E. 627; Jones v. Pittsburgh Mercantile Co. (1928), 295 Pa. 219, 145 Atl. 80; D. Buchanan & Son v. Ewell (1927), 148 Va. 762, 139 S. E. 483.
 We conclude that this circumstance was sufficient to take the present case to the jury on the issue of whether there was a contract of employment for a year.
The jury, however, found that there was no contract of employment for a year, and its verdict is conclusive, unless there be merit in one or more of appellant's assignments of error. Certainly, there was no merit in appellant's contention that he was entitled to a judgment n. o. v.
"(1) Every agreement that by its terms is not to be,, performed in one year from the making thereof; . . ."
"Q. (By Mr. Schermer) Mr. Lasser, what was your understanding of the duration of your contract or agreement of employment with Grunbaum's made with Mr. Schoenfeld as its officer? A. Well, I understood I was to be employed for several years. I wasn't taking a position for one day or a week or a month, I was taking a steady position. Q. In other words, you thought you were employed for several years? A. That's right."
[4, 5] Whether this was, as his counsel urged, merely the appellant's way of expressing his expectation that he would continue in this particular employment for a number of years, or whether it was actually his subjective interpretation of the specific contract, it falls far short of establishing any agreement between the parties to employ the appellant for more than a year. There was no evidence by which the jury could have found that such an agreement existed, irrespective of what the appellant may have understood or believed; and, there being no evidence to justify the instruction, it was prejudicial error to give it.
 We are also aware of our oft-stated rule that we will not consider an assignment of error directed to an instruction unless within the scope of the appellant's exception to the instruction in the trial court. Rule of Pleading, Practice and Procedure 10, 34A Wn. (2d) 75; Peterson v. King County (1954), 45 Wn. (2d) 860, 278 P. (2d) 774, and cases there cited.
The reason for this rule generally given is that the trial court should have the benefit of the study and research of counsel and that the trial court should be advised of the contentions of the respective parties as to the law or the facts, at a time when the court can, if it so desires, correct any error which it may feel has been made in the instructions. Rank v. Alaska Steamship Co. (1954), 45 Wn. (2d)337, 274 P. (2d) 583; Shields v. Paarmann (1952), 41 Wn. (2d) 423, 425, 249 P. (2d) 377; State v. Severns (1942), 13 Wn. (2d) 542, 125 P. (2d) 659.
Whether the reason for the rule applied in this case might be debatable, because a verdict had been reached by the jury before the exceptions to the instructions were taken.
 This would make it possible for the subjective understanding of a contract by a party to prevail over objective manifestations of an assent. From the testimony of the appellant on cross-examination already quoted, the jury might conclude that the appellant understood the contract to be for more than one year, and that such an understanding by the appellant, coupled with instruction No. 8, already referred to, which told the jury that if the contract was for more than one year, it was void, would almost amount to a directed verdict. This was clearly a prejudicial misdirection.
The appellant complains also of instruction No. 6. Appellant's only exception to this instruction was that, in describing the contract of employment, the court said that it was admitted that the appellant was employed at a salary of fifteen thousand dollars a year with a three thousand dollar bonus at the end of the year, whereas the contract, as testified to, is for eighteen thousand dollars a year, payable fifteen thousand dollars in monthly installments of twelve hundred fifty dollars each, and a final payment of three thousand dollars at the end of the year. Appellant is correct as to the terms of the contract; however, the court correctly stated the terms of the contract in instruction No. 12.
While there may be a distinction between the final payment of an eighteen thousand dollar salary in a lump sum of three thousand dollars at the end of the year, and a bonus of three thousand dollars payable at the end of the year, it was, if there be such, not pinpointed in any argument to the court, in the instructions, or in the briefs, and we see no prejudicial error in the factual misstatement. Appellant, in his brief, but not in his exceptions, challenges the statement of the law contained in this instruction. Suffice it to say that the instruction is not to be commended, and in the event of a retrial, a much clearer statement of the applicable law, which the instruction was intended to state, will be found in the first three sentences of Comment b. to § 442, Restatement, Agency.
Appellant's other assignments of error directed to the instructions are without merit. While we have criticized three instructions and found prejudicial error in two of them, in justice to the trial judge it should be made clear that both of those instructions were requested by the respondents. The appellant's instructions dealt primarily with defenses as to which there was no testimony and were, hence, of little assistance to the court. Indeed, at the conclusion of the trial, the appellant stated that all his requested instructions were withdrawn and that the respondents' instructions covered the contract adequately, which may have induced the trial court to place too much confidence in their accuracy. The appellant asserts that he thereafter resubmitted his instructions, and, although there is no mention of it in the statement of facts, they do appear in the record, and some of his requested instructions were given by the court.
 One other assignment of error should be discussed because the same situation may arise in the event of a retrial. Appellant urges that in his case in chief he should have been allowed to testify concerning the improvements and achievements attributable to his management of the furniture store. That was not necessary to establish his cause of action, and was not an issue, unless the respondents should in their defense present evidence of incompetence and mismanagement. The trial court did not err in refusing to admit the proffered testimony at the time it was offered, and the competency of the appellant did not become an issue.
The judgment of dismissal is reversed, and the cause is remanded for a new trial.
HAMLEY, C. J., MALLERY, WEAVER, and ROSELLINI, JJ., concur.

[A]lthough Apple CEO Tim Cook has ... expressed how little he thinks of Facebook's handling of user data, the two companies need each other, whether they like it or not.
Translated from German by Barbara Finkemeyer. Edited by Helaine Schweitzer.
Facebook smuggles an app for screening users past Apple's submission process. But as obviously disturbed as the relationship between the two companies may be, they depend on one another.
An app that was largely insignificant and unknown until a few hours ago perfectly illustrates the tense relationship between Facebook and Apple.
With its "Research" application, Facebook wanted to gain precise insights into the smartphone usage behavior of volunteers between the ages of 13 and 35, and pay them to participate. But the implementation of the project suggests that Facebook was expecting resistance from Apple.
This method of installing apps is called "sideloading." By choosing the detour through the beta testing service providers, Facebook bypassed the otherwise obligatory submission process through Apple for every new app.
Facebook didn't have to fear any further consequences, and Apple didn't indicate anything about that in its statement. For although Apple CEO Tim Cook has recently expressed several times how little he thinks of Facebook's handling of user data, the two companies need each other, whether they like it or not.
Facebook's software could not have globally changed human communications and culture without the iPhone (and its influence on smartphone development). Even though it's an elitist product, the iPhone is, still today, the single most important mobile internet device worldwide. Apple's hardware, in turn, would have not become a lifestyle product without services like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, and would have instead become a device for managers, like the Blackberry used to be.
No wonder then, that Facebook wanted to specifically distribute its "Research" app to iOS users as well. It's worth noting that, to do that, it specifically hid itself from Apple. And, likewise, it's worth noting the thin-lipped response from Apple about the matter. The two companies remain tangled up in a love-hate relationship.
Author's note: An earlier version of this article said Apple's "unmistakable public silence" was significant. Meanwhile, Apple has issued a four-line statement, and the article has been adapted accordingly.

Q: Fetching data in intervals vs sse / websockets? I wanted to implement sse for notifications, so the user can get new notifications.
What is the downside of fetching that data in intervals in my frontend? Cant I just do that? Why is it common to use sse or websockets instead of fetching data periodically?
Thanks

A: Polling is always a tradeoff between how often (and thus how much resource wastage, in this case of client and server CPU, client battery, and network traffic) vs. latency of noticing a notification.
I'd be annoyed if every one of the dozen tabs I have open was wasting CPU time and network traffic to contact some server every few seconds or minutes.  Minutes wouldn't to totally terrible, but it would mean the worst case latency for a notification to pop up would be minutes after the thing happened, unlike on Stack Overflow where comment notifications happen within a second or so.
From the server's PoV, it would potentially pile up a lot of traffic if everyone with the page open was making an HTTP request every few seconds, not just users that were actively clicking on things that needed server interaction.
Polling every second would be bad enough waiting for something locally; it would be ridiculous in a case like yours involving network traffic.  This is why we have event-driven methods of doing things all the way from low-level I/O (DMA + interrupts) to user-space socket APIs (select/poll) to GUI application to network stuff.
Polling is the easy but ugly solution.  Either amateur-hour or done as a fallback if no better API is available.  IDK if it would make sense to do it while prototyping before implementing the proper way in this case, or as a fallback, but it's not a good plan A.

Thirparappu waterfalls, Tamil Nadu
Post author:Nissi Tours
Post category:Travel blog
Thirparappu is famous for its waterfalls and is located in Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu in the southern part of India.

India 'priest' of world peace, but can reply to aggression: Rajnath
We seek world peace but if someone shows us an aggressive attitude, we will respond, said defence minister Rajnath Singh while flagging off 12 strategic roads in Arunachal
by Press Trust of India June 17, 2021 June 17, 2021
PC: Twitter
Kimin (Arunachal): In a statement seen as an implicit message to Beijing, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday said that though India is a peace loving country, it has the capability to reply to aggression.
Dedicating 12 strategic roads constructed by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) to the nation here, Singh described India as a priest of world peace but added any serious disturbance to peace and tranquility in border areas would have adverse implications.
"We seek world peace (but) if someone shows us an aggressive attitude, we will respond," Singh said, adding the "new roads will help secure international borders."
Singhs statement comes in the backdrop of China continuing to hold on to positions in Hot Springs and Gogra Post on the border, after clashes between the armies of the two Asian giants in the bleak Galwan valley in Ladakh a year ago.
The defence minister said "last year in Galwan Valley, our soldiers displayed exemplary courage and valour in line of duty. I salute all brave soldiers who laid down their lives fighting for the nation."
China also claims most of Arunachal Pradesh as its territory and has dubbed it `South Tibet in internal maps.
The northern neighbour which fought a bloody border war with India in 1962 when it invaded parts of Arunachal pradesh including Tawang, often sends border patrols into areas controlled by India.
In September last year, five young Arunachali hunters were allegedly kidnaped by Chinese troops from Sera-7, in Upper Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh. The youth were later released in Anjaw district, around 800 km from the state capital, after several days in Chinese custody.
With no let up in India-China border tension, the Modi government is now looking to expedite work on border infrastructure, especially on roads leading to forward areas in the frontier state.
Singh said, the 12 strategic roads including 10 in Arunachal Pradesh and one each in Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir, inaugurated during the day, would not only give a boost in connectivity but would facilitate faster movement of troops along the international border.
"The capability of BRO in constructing world class roads despite challenges, in tough and hilly terrain, (underlines) the mantra of Atma Nirbhar Bharat," Singh said while lauding the road construction unit for its dedicated work.
He said the road projects are part of the Act East Policy, envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"The budget for BRO has increased manifold since 2013 and today stands at Rs 11,000 crore. The BRO since 2014 had developed a record 4,800 kilometers of border roads in the country," the Defence Minister said.
He added that the country's defence sector in the last few years had witnessed major changes including appointment of a Chief of Defence Staff for the first time.
"Our vision is to produce our own weapons and if necessary export them to other countries," he said.
The defence minister also claimed that development work in Northeast India had picked up pace under the Narendra Modi Government.
The development of the region remained stagnant after independence. However, after NDA came to power in 2014, the region witnessed accelerated development. There are many challenges due to its close proximity with foreign countries, Singh said.
NE is the right hand of the country and its development will make India strong. Our government is committed to its development, he added.
According to BRO officials, out of the 12 roads inaugurated on the occasion, ten road projects of total 285.32 kilometers, are in Arunachal Pradesh being constructed by the BRO at an estimated cost of Rs 1,228.34 crore.
Of the ten road projects, three each are under Project Arunank, Vartak and Udayak while one is being executed by Project Brahmank, officials added.

Union Minister of State (Independent) for Sports and Youth Affairs Kiren Rijiju, who was also present on the occasion, lauded the BRO for completing work in rough terrain within timeline constraints.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma speaking on the occasion added that though the roads were constructed in Arunachal Pradesh, they would benefit the entire northeast and the country.
Arunachal Chief Minister Pema Khandu termed the occasion as a proud moment for the state as world class roads have been constructed up to the border.
Khandu exuded confidence that in the coming days, the north east region would witness more development with the blessings of the Centre.
Chief of Defence Staff Gen Vipin Rawat, Director General of Border Roads Lt General Rajeev Chaudhry, state Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar were among others who were present on the occasion.

Mr Falana presenting the award to Mr Olasupo
28-year-old Nigerian who returned $2,397 wins Gani Fawehinmi integrity award
Mr Olasupo was awarded for refunding the sum $2,397 that was mistakenly paid into his account by a foreign organisation he consulted for.
byMariam Ileyemi
Founder, Brainbuiders Youth Development Initiative (BBYDI), Abideen Olasupo, has won the outstanding integrity award at the 5th Gani Fawehinmi Impact and Integrity Awards which was held in Lagos on Friday.
The award was instituted by Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA) Resource Centre with the support of MacArrthur Foundation in honour of the late human rights activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Gani Fawehinmi.
He was presented with the award by the human rights lawyer, Femi Falana.
Mr Olasupo, who emerged winner of the award category ahead of few other nominees, dedicated it to his parents.
He said; "When I was young, my mum always checked my bag when I came back from school. I never knew why until I was in secondary school and challenged her, she said she wanted to ensure I didn't mistakenly pack anything not mine. My dad always tells me and my siblings not to ever take what doesn't belong to us, that we have a duty to always protect the name of our family."
Speaking on the money mistakenly paid to him, the young entrepreneur and climate justice advocate said "when I got the over 2,397 USD erroneously paid to my account, I never thought twice to return it because it is not mine and I know mine will surely come."
Mr Olasupo, who is also a global goals youth panel member, has championed the translation of the Sustainable Development Goals into local languages. He recently represented Nigeria at the United Nations Corruption Summit held in May.
According to HEDA Resource Centre, 271 nominations and entries were received out of which 21 persons were shortlisted in the four categories of the awards.
The organisation said there were six nominees for Outstanding Impact category; eight for Outstanding Integrity, four for Valuable Whistle-Blower, and three for Nigerians-In-Diaspora Integrity Ambassador.
Olanrewaju Suraju, Chairman of HEDA Resource Centre, noted that the overall objective of the award ceremony was to promote transparency.
While Mr Olasupo won the outstanding integrity award, the valuable whistle-blower award was won by Paul Lawani; the global town crier media award and the outstanding impact award was won by Muhammad Dzukogi, a former National Secretary of the Association of Nigerian Authors.
Other prominent personalities at the awards ceremony include Achike Chude, Nurudeen Ogbara and Kunle Adegoke, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN.

Recognizing the need for students to be prepared to read and to participate in society as literate citizens equipped with the ability to communicate effectively, the English curriculum in Chesapeake addresses this need by encompassing all of the English Standards of Learning as set forth by the Board of Education for the Commonwealth of Virginia. The English standards are organized into four related strands (oral language, reading/literature, writing, and research). Children in Chesapeake should be the recipients of a balanced instructional program that will support their efforts in the community, in the work place, or in postsecondary education. Information for Parents Please help us to help your child to read and to write well.
Provide an area of your home that will be designated just for reading and writing. The area will need good lighting, a flat surface for writing, paper, pens, pencils, erasers, a dictionary, and a thesaurus.
Encourage writing in your home. When your child has a writing assignment due, engage in a conversation about the chosen topic. Focus on the ideas generated; encourage research and the time spent on writing. Because writing is a process, students need to return to the same piece of writing several times. A polished finished product needs effort and time. Be aware of this concept, please.
Encourage reading in your home. Buy books or magazines as gifts whenever appropriate. Ask your child what he or she is reading and discuss what you are currently reading.

What Sets Meqnes Apart From The rest?
With Moroccan roots, this unique and beautifully designed, fully-leather weekend bag is destined to be a staple in every man's adventures. Designed to turn heads, Meqnes combines century-old styles of the most exquisite Moroccan-made bags to create the last weekend bag you'll ever need. It is time to introduce tradition and beauty into our travels, and Meqnes is the key.
Finding the highest quality leather took months of dedication and research, but we were finally able to find a beautiful, full-grain calfskin leather that is on par with our high standards. Vegetable-tanned for a unique and beautiful color, your Meqnes bag will be your go-to for a lifetime.
Most men's weekend bags are made of floppy, poor-quality leather that wears out quickly and doesn't hold its shape. We searched high and low for the most exquisite materials that can withstand frequent use, so you're free to explore the world with your Meqnes in tow.
Each bag is hand-crafted in Morocco by talented Moroccan leather artisans who know the quality, aesthetic and promises each Meqnes bag holds. We are eliminating the middleman, which, in return, will keep the cost of Meqnes down to a minimum. By purchasing Meqnes, you are helping support these artisans and their work.

Summary: There are not many things in this life that are certain, but eternity is... Are You Prepared?
Sadly, there were some people who died this week who had every intention of making things right with the Lord…ONE DAY!
They believed that Jesus was the only way to Heaven.
They had planned to surrender to Him but now it is too late!
Chances are pretty good that someone here today has that same mindset:you know that you should turn to Jesus but you procrastinate, You turn away and ignore the conviction of the Holy Spirit week after week.
What is to say that your name will not be in the obituaries this week?
1) You Will Die! (Barring the rapture) -We go to great lengths to put that off as long as we can but one day it is going to happen.
3) You Will Confess That Jesus Is Lord! - Some have already done so in this life, but even the atheist will one day confess that Jesus is Lord.
God Himself created life - Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Regardless of what the evolutionists say... You can trace life all the way back to God almighty. It started with Adam & Eve and has worked its way down to you and me.
Everyone here is alive; at least that is what you told me earlier! But everyone that is alive fits into one of these 2 categories.
Though everyone proclaimed to be alive earlier, that is not necessarily the case. Physically yes, spiritually maybe not! You see there are some of you who are born again and you have ETERNAL LIFE, but some of you (though physically alive) are dead in your trespasses and sins.
There are not many things in this life that are certain, but eternity is... Are You Prepared?

He Dan Jia (河亶甲) (siglo XV a.  C.) fue un rey de China de la dinastía Shang.

En las Memorias históricas, Sima Qian le coloca en el puesto duodécimo de la lista de reyes Shang, sucediendo a su padre, Wai Ren. Fue entronizado el año de Gengshen (chino:庚申), con Ao (隞) como su capital. En el primer año de reinado, trasladó la capital a Xiang (相). Gobernó durante 9 años, antes de su muerte. Le fue dado el nombre póstumo de He Dan Jia, y fue sucedido por su hijo, Zu Yi.

Inscripciones sobre huesos oraculares desenterrados en Yinxu dan datos alternativos. Sería el undécimo rey del listado de reyes Shang con el nombre póstumo de Jian Jia (戔甲), y su sucesor sería su hermano Zu Yi.

Recent 2018/19 2016/17 2014/15 2012/13 2010/11 2008/09 2006/07 2004/05 2002/03
DLT Entertainment Acquires Vera Productions
Award-Winning Independent Production Company Continue To Operate Under DLT Banner
LONDON 24th May 2018: Award-winning independent production and distribution company DLT Entertainment, have announced today that it has acquired independent production company Vera Productions, in a deal which will see Vera MD Geoff Atkinson remain as CEO reporting to DLT President Donald Taffner Jr.
Through the deal Vera will continue to operate as a separate company under the DLT banner but will be wholly owned by DLT Entertainment. DLT will acquire Vera's portfolio of extensive programming, approximately 300 hours in the catalogue, with series currently represented by a number of distributors. In addition to adding to DLT's development of comedies, dramas and entertainment properties, the acquisition expands DLT's production slate into the factual/current affairs field, and also offers new projects in development for the stage, which DLT, through its ownership of The Shaftesbury Theatre, will look to develop.
Geoff Atkinson and Vera team members Fred Atkinson (Development Producer), and Carrie Fletcher (Head of Production) will remain in their roles and will be moving to the DLT London offices in April.
Vera launched in 1994, and has since produced an extensive portfolio of award-winning shows including Bremner Bird and Fortune, three series of Getting On starring Jo Brand, Vicki Pepperdine, and Joanna Scanlan for BBC Four, four series of Alistair McGowan's Big Impression for BBC One, six series of Mark Thomas Product and numerous Dispatches for Channel 4, including the recent President Trump's Dirty Secrets, Politicians for Hire and How to Buy A Football Club. In addition, Vera has produced several pieces for Channel 4 News and created Big Trouble in Thailand for Bravo, and most recently produced Million Pound Jewellers for Channel 4 Arts and three episodes of Going Forward starring Jo Brand and Omid Djalili for BBC Four.
Announcing the deal, Donald Taffner Jr., President of DLT Entertainment, said; "We have had a long regard for the shows that Vera has produced, and we are thrilled to be welcoming Geoff, Carrie and Fred to the DLT Entertainment stable to continue producing fantastic quality content under the DLT banner, while complimenting the activity of DLT's productions.
DLT are not in the production company aggregation business for growth and this acquisition does not signal a change in that philosophy, but welcomes Vera to the DLT family where we will provide business and financial support while Vera Pproductions will continue as the production entity for its programs. It is a very exciting time."
The acquisition of Vera represents a move by DLT Entertainment to continue to grow and expand their business through seeking companies who wish to grow their business by joining the DLT family and operating under the DLT banner.
Geoff Atkinson added; "This offers a great opportunity to secure Vera's future and build on the success we've enjoyed over the last 24 years. We have always enjoyed and retained our independence and this sale enables us to maintain that same spirit, but under new experienced owners who share in that vision and who will allow Vera a chance to grow and expand its output and continue to produce quality programming. I have known DLT for some time and long admired all they have achieved, this offers us an exciting opportunity to share in their knowledge and work with Don and his team and to focus on several new projects in development."
