The non-governmental organization Institute for Development of Freedom of Information (IDFI) believes that the fight against elite corruption in Georgia remains a challenge and is calling on the government to create an independent anti-corruption service.
The NGO says that in recent years, media and non-governmental organizations have revealed several cases where possible corruption signs needed additional investigation, but no proper action had been taken or, if it was, society was not informed.
According to the NGO, the facts revealed by them include possible corruption, abuse of power and other cases of civil crime.
However, the IDFI recognizres that there have been cases in recent times when investigations of criminal cases have been launched against various rank officials and they have been convicted.
The report of the State Security Service (SSS) reads that an investigation was begun looking into 62 cases of corruption this year, and 61 persons have been charged in 41 criminal cases. Most of the persons charged with criminal prosecution were employed in local self-government bodies and did not occupy high positions.
According to the IDFI report, the investigation was not directed against any high ranking official of the central government. It is also unknown whether the Prosecutor's Office of Georgia responded to the cases sent to them by the State Audit Office, where, according to the Audit, signs of possible crime were identified.
"In Georgia, the existence of elite corruption as an important challenge is mentioned in the recommendations of authoritative international organizations such as the European Parliament and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In particular, one of the articles of the European Parliament's Resolution emphasizes the need for the establishment of an Anti-Corruption Service as an independent agency," reads the statement.
The organization notes that at present, the role of preventing and fighting corruption is distributed among various public agencies in Georgia whose powers and activities are not clearly defined.
"The absence of the investigation of the cases of 'elite corruption' during the current and previous governments indicates that it is necessary to reform the existing system because it cannot effectively respond to cases of high levels of corruption, which raises questions in society and negatively impacts public trust towards public institutions," the NGO stressed.
Zurab Chiaberashvili, member of the parliamentary minority European Georgia says the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party founder and Chair, Bidzina Ivanishvili, set up a corrupt scheme and clan system after coming to power in 2012.
"IDFI confirmed doubts which have existed in the society for a long time regarding the corruption in the country," he added.
Roman Gotsiridze, member of the previous ruling party United National Movement also shares the position that high-rank officials are involved in the corruption.
"For me, only the assessments of international organizations are important… Georgia is mentioned among the top countries in terms of doing business and transparency," the Mayor noted.
Archil Talakvadze, the leader of the GD parliamentary majority, says that no matter who violates the law, everyone will be held responsible.
"In terms of corruption, Georgia's State Security Service has opened very important cases involving officials. This once again confirms that no one is untouchable in our country," Talakvadze underlined.

(21 April 2015) A new report launched today by the International Refugee Rights Initiative and the National Human Rights Monitoring Organisation brings the voices of civilians living through the conflict in Sudan's Southern Kordofan State to the international community.
Focusing on the devastating impact of the conflict on every aspect of people's lives, the report highlights the extraordinary resilience and resistance of the civilian population. Inevitably, however, this resilience is also being worn away by the continuing onslaught.
Sudanese human rights defender Adil Bakheit is at risk of a politically motivated trial on baseless charges, including under the category of 'crimes against the state' that carry the death penalty, after his laptop was confiscated during an armed raid on the Khartoum-based TRACKS for Training and Human Development. Officers from Sudan's National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS), armed with guns, raided the training centre on 26 March whilst it was hosting a training session on social responsibility. Participants were accused of discussing the boycott of the upcoming General Elections. Property, including four laptop computers and the central computer server, was seized. Two members of staff and a filmmaker present during the workshop have been summoned by the NISS and interrogated on a number of occasions since the raid. Adil Bakheit, a well-known independent human rights trainer, was summoned and charged by the State Security Prosecution Office on 16 April, three weeks after the raid and seizure of his laptop.
Sudan's national general elections began on 13 April 2015. Scheduled to end on 15 April, they were extended one day by the National Elections Commission (NEC) to account for low voter turnout.
In the days leading up to and during the elections and the voting period, ACJPS documented a number of violations, apparently aimed at restricting the ability of independent groups and activists to voice dissenting political views from those of the ruling party. Activists affiliated with Irhal (Go!), a campaign established by the opposition coalition, the National Consensus Forces (NCF), calling on supporters to boycott the elections, have been subjected to arbitrary arrest and ill-treatment by security forces.
Today marks the one-year anniversary since the untimely passing of Osman Hummaida, Founding Executive Director of the African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS), friend and mentor to countless human rights defenders around the world.
Osman worked tirelessly in support of human rights and social justice in Sudan and across Africa. He believed strongly in the principles of human rights and international justice, and was at the forefront of campaigns to build and support strong African regional human rights mechanisms. He was instrumental to the campaigning that led to the referral of the situation in Sudan's Darfur region to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the eventual issuance of an arrest warrant against Sudanese President Omar Hassan al Bashir for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
(21 April 2015) The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a joint programme of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), requests your urgent intervention in the following situation in Sudan.
Description of the situation: The Observatory has been informed by reliable sources about the arbitrary arrest and judicial harassment of Mr. Adil Bakheit, member of the Board of Trustees of the Sudan Human Rights Monitor (SHRM) by the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS). Mr. Bakheit, a human rights trainer, also played an important monitoring role during the 2010 elections and 2011 referendum in Sudan.

The findings of a public opinion poll conducted in Khartoum State and released today by the Sudan Consortium showed a high level of discontent with the state of the economy, governance and services in Sudan.
Based on a survey of 782 households, the survey covers public opinion on the socio-economic situation in the country, security, the problems facing the country, emigration, local service, corruption and the National Dialogue process. When asked about the problems facing the country, respondents identified economic issues first with the most popular two answers being increasing prices and inflation and poverty. Respondents also identified corruption, poor services, and armed conflict and geographic, ethnic and political division in the country.
(12 April, 2015) For the SPLM-N controlled locations in the Two Areas, the month of March in terms of civilian protection incidents has been somewhat subdued when compared to the previous three months. No deaths were reported in March 2015 and 20 civilians were reported to having been injured as a result of aerial bombardment or shelling.
However, the intensity of military attacks that affected civilian locations in SPLM-N controlled areas increased near the end of March and into the first week of April, resulting in 17 civilian deaths and 12 persons injured between April 4 and 7th. Shelling from the SAF garrison in Dilling town into Al Kuk village on April 6th killed 9 people from the same family, including a one day old baby, and children of ages 2, 5, 10, two of 13, 15 and 18 years as well as a 23 year old adult. Bombs dropped near a local grinding mill in Tunguli, Dalami County, on April 7th killed 7 people; two women, two students and two young children, and a elderly man was seriously injured and then died while being transported to a distant hospital. The grinding mill which provides a critical service for the local population was also destroyed.
(12 April 2015) Sudan's national general elections will begin on 13 April 2015. For the African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) and the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), "there is no prospect of open, transparent free or fair elections in Sudan whilst independent civil society groups, human rights defenders, political activists and journalists are at such a high risk of arbitrary detention for voicing dissenting views and whilst conflict rages in Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile states".
The electoral process has been rejected by nearly all mainstream political opposition parties on the basis that it is not genuine, inclusive or aimed at reaching a national consensus. Instead, in the run-up to elections, brutal repression against dissenting voices has considerably increased: political opponents, journalists, and human rights defenders are being targeted by the regime more than ever. In the conflict areas of Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan, mass atrocities continue to be perpetrated against civilians. Additionally, the electoral process has been marred by a number of procedural irregularities and will take place amidst a fragile political environment.

Balance Chiropractic Center - Are Headaches Normal?
Headaches are not normal. They're a sign that something is wrong. Your body is designed to be free of pain. Feeling good is the normal state. Feeling throbbing, pounding pain in your skull that doesn't want to go away is not normal. Neither is feeling nauseous at the sight of a bright light. However, thanks to those clever TV commercials, medicine cabinets, purses, and glove compartments all over the country are filled with medication for the "normal" headache.
1. Over the counter medications treat the cause of your headache.
These pills cover up your headache by simply disabling your brain's ability to feel your headache. That's why your headache comes back when the pills wear off. The real cause of your pain goes untreated, and that's why you keep suffering.
2. Headache medication can't harm you.
All drugs have side effects, and the more often you use any medication, the more your risk increases. Whenever a drug disables the messages being sent to and from your brain, it also interferes with your body's ability to communicate other messages, which can affect your immune response. Not to mention risks like ulcers, bleeding, liver and kidney dysfunction, and allergic reactions.
Stress does not cause headaches. It is how your body adapts to stress that determines if stress will affect your health.
4. Headaches go away on their own.
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results." If you truly want to get rid of your headaches, then you're going to have to try something different, something drug free, and something that is proven to work.
5. All doctors know how to treat headaches.
If you're a hammer, all you see is nails. Most medical doctors prescribe medication. If you've tried medication and it hasn't worked, expecting a different approach from your M.D. will only leave you disappointed. You need a doctor who will get great results without the risks associated with medication or surgery.
6. Your problem is always where your pain is.
One of the most common types of headaches that does not originate in the head is called a cervicogenic headache. Cervicogenic is a big word for a headache which originates in the neck. M.D.'s may recognize this type of headache, but chiropractors treat it.
Has your neck ever experienced trauma?
Have you ever played football or any other contact sports?
Have you experienced many "minor" injuries?
Is your neck stiff or, at times, difficult to move?
As a child, did you experience a fall off a swing, porch, down stairs, etc.?
If you answered YES to any of the following questions, conservative chiropractic care is proven to be the safest, most natural treatment option.
For a free headache evaluation in our office, call us today. The headache evaluation includes a consultation and examination with the doctor and static EMG testing.

Q: Are there alternatives to reading directly from Firestore database? I'm redesigning my website using React as the frontend and Firestore for the database.
The database has 300+ "recommenders" and 2500+ books.
Each time I load the home page, it goes through all 300+ "recommenders" (and they all have 5 or so data points like name, twitter profile link, image, etc...) and this is a lot of reads. It does the same when I click on "top books" and that's even worse. It quickly kills my limit of 50k reads per day.
But the website (almost) never changes. I only add a new recommender once a month or so. So it shouldn't crawl through the database every time I hit refresh... the data doesn't change.
I'm a bit new to this topic. But is there a way to take a "snapshot" of the database and have the client read from that instead?
I've heard in other situations people use memcached but I'm not sure that solves the problem or if I can use it with Firebase. A tutorial or link to solve this problem would be helpful.

Q: Dictionary and random integer How to to accept the length of a dictionary, then create key-value pairs where the key is a random integer in the range 1 to 100 and the value is the square of the integer?
If I enters 5, then the output should be:
{68: 4624, 28: 784, 99: 9801, 15: 225, 6: 36}

I did some of the code, but cannot to combine with each other. I don't know where to add random
d=dict()
n=int(input("Enter a number in the range 1 to 100: ")) for i in range (100):
d[i]=i**i
print(d)

A: You can use random.sample to ensure having different keys (duplicated random values would result in less elements than the target as dictionary keys are unique), and a dictionary comprehension:
from random import sample

n = input('number of values: ')

out = {k: k**2 for k in sample(range(1,101), n)}

Example:
{79: 6241, 80: 6400, 81: 6561, 62: 3844, 50: 2500}

Le Delphic est un paquebot-mixte mis en service en 1897 par la . Construit par les chantiers Harland & Wolff de Belfast, c'est un navire assez lent destiné avant tout au transport d'émigrants et de marchandises vers la Nouvelle-Zélande. Il effectue malgré cela ses premières traversées de rodage sur la ligne de New York avant de rejoindre son affectation définitive. Durant vingt ans, son service sur cette ligne est sans histoire, à l'exception de missions de transport de troupes durant la Seconde Guerre des Boers.

La Première Guerre mondiale ne trouble pas son service, jusqu'en , date à laquelle il est réquisitionné pour servir à l'effort de guerre. C'est lors d'une traversée à destination de l'Amérique du Sud, au mois de mai suivant, que le navire est torpillé par le sous-marin allemand U-72. Cinq personnes sont tuées, mais le navire coule suffisamment lentement pour que le reste de l'équipage puisse être évacué, avant que le navire ne sombre sous l'effet de torpilles supplémentaires.

Histoire

En 1884, la  inaugure son service à destination de la Nouvelle-Zélande, afin de diversifier ses activités. Elle ne se lance pas seule dans l'entreprise, le service étant conjoint avec la  qui dispose d'une bonne connaissance de la région tandis que sa partenaire apporte d'importants moyens financiers. C'est ainsi que le service est lancé avec trois navires de la , le Coptic, lIonic et le Doric, et deux de la , lArawa et le Tainui. Ce service se révèle rapidement très prometteur. Ainsi, en 1893, la  apporte un nouveau navire à la flotte, le Gothic : il s'agit du plus grand navire de la ligne, et ses installations de première classe offrent un confort du même niveau que celui de la prestigieuse ligne transatlantique.

En 1897, c'est une version légèrement plus petite du Gothic (bien qu'au tonnage supérieur) qui est destinée à rejoindre la ligne : le Delphic. Plus lent, il est destiné au transport d'un millier de migrants ainsi que de marchandises. Le navire, construit par les chantiers navals Harland & Wolff, est lancé le . Bien qu'il soit dès l'origine destiné à la ligne néo-zélandaise, il est décidé de le roder avant de l'envoyer sur d'aussi longs voyages. Il effectue donc sa traversée inaugurale entre Liverpool et New York le  suivant, avant d'être déplacé le  août sur la ligne de Londres à New York. C'est, finalement, le  qu'il s'engage pour la première fois à destination de Wellington.

La carrière du Delphic sur cette nouvelle ligne se révèle sans histoires durant près de vingt ans, à l'exception du tout début du . Il est en effet réquisitionné le  pour transporter  soldats de Londres au Cap dans le cadre de la Seconde Guerre des Boers, après quoi il poursuit sa route vers la Nouvelle-Zélande. Le , il est à nouveau employé à cette fin, cette fois-ci au départ de Queenstown.

La Première Guerre mondiale ne trouble en revanche pas son service lorsqu'elle éclate en , et le Delphic ne quitte pas sa ligne. Le , cependant, il est frôlé par une torpille du sous-marin allemand U-60 alors qu'il navigue au sud de l'Irlande. C'est le  suivant qu'il quitte finalement son service commercial pour être réquisitionné dans le cadre du . Le  suivant, il est à nouveau attaqué alors qu'il navigue cette fois-ci avec une cargaison de charbon embarquée à Cardiff, à destination de Montevideo. Alors qu'il se trouve à 200 kilomètres au sud-ouest des Sorlingues, il est torpillé par le sous-marin U-72. Cinq personnes meurent à bord, mais le navire reste suffisamment longtemps à flot pour pouvoir être évacué. Le sous-marin tire finalement quelques torpilles supplémentaires, envoyant le Delphic par le fond.

La  redonne pour sa part le nom de Delphic à un cargo acquis en 1925 et exploité sur la ligne de l'Australie.

Caractéristiques
Avec  sur , le Delphic est un navire légèrement plus petit que le Gothic, son prédécesseur sur la ligne néo-zélandaise, mais il est cependant plus large, et d'un tonnage supérieur, de  tonneaux de jauge brute. Il est ainsi le plus volumineux navire de la compagnie sur cette ligne, jusqu'à l'arrivée des navires de classe Athenic quelques années plus tard. Il arbore une silhouette classique pour les navires de l'époque, avec quatre mâts (contrairement au Gothic, le mât avant du Delphic peut porter des voiles) entourant une cheminée unique aux couleurs de la , ocre brun à manchette noire.

Propulsé par des machines à triple expansion qui alimentent une hélice, il navigue à une vitesse de 11 à 12 nœuds, inférieure à celle de ses compagnons de route. Cette vitesse le destine donc au transport d'une clientèle moins aisée, composée d'émigrants. Il peut, selon les sources, en transporter 800 (ainsi qu'une vingtaine de passagers de première classe), ou , exclusivement en entrepont.

And each upperclassman on that team will be so inspired by the rookies that they will raise their own play to unprecedented levels.
Unprecedented levels of futility against the fighting nurses or other EZAC opponents like the toothpaste squad?
The precedented level of futility was that ugly losing streak to the rodents years ago. The fighting nurses and toothpaste deal will never get to that level. No futility streak will lever get to that level. EVER.
Good point, that's why you could never hate the fighting nurses or the toothpaste squad as much as the rodents. It also explains why you got to the point where you were addicted to the thinner.
Maddi Wheeler got invited to the Canadian national camp, the youngest player invited. She is in the same recruiting class as Makenna Webster, another young phenom. Those 2 in the same class with Casey O'Brien may be the best recruiting class ever, so who knows, but as constructed now that is a vaunting trio. All 3 are Olympic caliber.
The scouting website Neutral Zone (www.neutralzone.net) rates the trio you mention very highly. Webster is their #2 ranked player, O'Brien #4 and Wheeler #5. Overall, the number 2 ranked class at this early date.
I would guess that if UW got to the Frozen Four every year for the next 12 years, and lost each year to either Clarkson or Colgate, that would be worse.
somewhere along the way, they 'decided' the dates for all but one of the home series (before this, they had all three days - Fri, Sat, Sun - listed on the schedule).
Personally, both ends of the Princeton series - Fri night, Sunday afternoon - are likely to be head up against volleyball, and the first Duluth game - Saturday - might be, too. And the second Gopher game - Sunday - might be up against a Packer game.
I'd still like to get a copy of your spreadsheet somehow That possible ? This forum doesn't seem to support private messages, but I could give you my email address somehow. I've done similar spreadsheets in the past but haven't yet for this year.
There would not be enough paint thinner on earth to help me deal with that.
I have to say the nurses are nearing the rodents on the hate meter. As I have stated before, in a rodent/nurses match-up I'm rodents all the way.
The Neutral Zone is a pay to read site, correct? If you would be so kind and drop the top 10 on us that would be very nice of you.
Some planet-friendly alternatives to paint thinner, just in case.
In 2014 and 2017 you rooted for the rodents?
At least the nurses know how to say knighty knight to the rodents in the FF.
I have a list of Gopher and BADger recruits from before when there was still some information you could get for free...Not so anymore so this is what I have at this point.
These do change periodically so there may be some changes to the top ten as time goes along.

Do you know who or what the Neutral Zone is? I ask because those rankings seem rather biased toward the Midwest, although I guess it wouldn't be the first time in women's hockey that that's been the case.
Some of them may not originally be from the Midwest but they will go there if they want to be their best! Wonder if the Trump tariffs will hurt the Midwest #1 Import/ Export? Hockey players.
I heard he's gonna build a wall around both Wisconsin and MinnesOta.....and Clarkson's gonna pay for it?!
The US 2002 birth-year players are very strong. We have seen three of the top four players (Murphy, Webster and O'Brien) on a line together with the US U18 team. They were dynamite together. No conspiracy there.
It will be interesting to see the 2020/2021 Gopher and BADger recruiting classes compete in their careers against each other.
This may or may not have been seen by some of the Wisconsin faithful but here is some scouting summaries from Neutral Zone in the summer of 2016 for BADger recruits.
Chayla Edwards, 2001, D, Pittsburgh Pens Elite – "Good sized, mobile defenseman who is immediately and consistently noticeable. Above average feet and skating for her age. Heavy shot from the blue line, and she gets it off rather quickly. She could improve upon her decision making with the puck on the breakout and through the neutral zone. An area for improvement rather than an area of weakness."
Teagan Grant, 2001, D, Toronto Jr. Aeros – "Outstanding offensive defenseman. Skating is incredibly fluid and allowed her to rush the puck successfully multiple times throughout the tournament. Skating also makes her very difficult to beat defensively – both off of the rush and down low – as she can mirror offensive players or recover very quickly if needed. Another clear D1 talent who impacts the game and is a difference maker."
MaKenna Webster, 2002, F, Shattuck St. Mary's – "Absolute top end talent. Explosive first few steps and her top speed is better than those older than her. Most impressive is her agility and lateral movement, as she can go east/west in a way that makes opposing defenders make mistakes and miss. Always around the net with that type of speed and skill. Clear National Team player down the road. An incredible get for Shattuck St. Mary's."
Maddie Wheeler, 2002, F, Napean Junior Wildcats PWHL – "Excellent pivot with her skating. Low center of gravity with great posture and therefore great efficiency as a skater. Gets to top speed pretty quickly, and playing in her age group, her skating allows her to be noticeable and effective most every shift. Very complete as well as she can create separation speed offensively while also providing excellent back pressure defensively. Well-rounded, future D1 player."
Sally Smith 2002, F Rabid Bat HS - Fair sized, skates like she is dragging a 50# anchor behind her, hands like bricks, pivots ok but falls down a lot, soft shot that is so slow it throws the goalie's timing off, solid blue line to blue line, doesn't get the net much, great shot blocker when she gets into the D zone before the puck comes back out. A great get for BC.
Disclaimer: The player described above is totally fictional and any resemblance to an existing, past or present player is strictly coincidental.

Excerpt II from Girl with Flying Weapons
I'm still tweaking bits in the book (I ALWAYS find things I want to change, EVERY time I go over the story) but it should be ready by this week!
Here's another excerpt, featuring the hero Fang. You can also read the opening scene of the heroine first.
The sound of hooves clattered over cobbled stones as the third son of Governor Shue returned home. Fang was a young man around twenty, tall and broad-shouldered and bronze-skinned. A handsome fellow, with eyes the colour of ripe blackberries, high cheekbones, and a strong, aristocratic chin, he turned many a girl's head when he rode by. He wore a long, flowing red cape, an expensive black leather belt, and boots of deer hide. He looked just everything a young man of privilege should be—well-groomed, virile, and confident. Another young man followed him, also similarly attired in hunting clothes.
"Young Master!" A servant rushed from the stables to take the horse. "How was the expedition?"
"Several hares, two wild pheasants, and a mountain deer. We'll be having a feast tonight."
"Your father will be pleased to hear it."
Fang grinned. Turning to the young man behind him, he asked, "Chow, you're joining us for tonight?"
The man shook his head and tossed a large sack of game at him. "You're welcome to my share."
"Ah, you're in a hurry to be home?" There was a mischievous gleam in Fang's eyes. "Can't wait to see Opal? One whole year and you're still like glue together?"
"Quit it." Chow pretended to swipe at him, though a blush spread over his face, right down to his neck. "Rather than making fun of a married man, why don't you concentrate your energy on wooing your girl, instead? Last time I've heard, you didn't even have the gumption to present her a gift."
"You know she isn't the type to be swayed by expensive gifts," Fang said, though his jubilant mood waned slightly. "But I have plans. Just wait and see."
"I'll look forward to the wedding day," Chow said with a smile.
"Me too!" the servant, who was still standing nearby, echoed.
With a glare at both men, Fang removed his cape and handed over the reins. "I need a bath. Tell the servants to draw up hot water immediately."
"Right away, Young Master!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Fang emerged from his bath, all spruce and clean, he called for Shu-Mo, a manservant who was only a few years his junior. Shu-Mo had worked in the household since he was a child and had practically grown up with him. Sometimes they were more like friends than master and servant.
"I need your opinion." Fang held up a jade belt hook and a gold pendant. "Which one do you think looks better on me?"
Shu-Mo couldn't help chuckling. Fang, usually so confident and assured, was actually looking nervous, and Shu-Mo knew the reason why.
"I believe jade is more—er—sophisticated, Young Master," he replied with a grin. "It's what Master Shue himself usually wears."
Fang considered a moment. "Yes, I think you're right." He fastened the hook on his belt and ran a hand through his hair. "Do I look all right?"
"Oh, surely you'd rather hear it from the lady than me." Shu-Mo winked. "All right, our Young Master is positively ravishing." Then, with a touch of reluctance, he added, "At least several maidservants I know are eager to gain your attention. Silver Peony begged me the other day to have the privilege of changing your bedsheets and sweeping the floor of your room."
Fang grinned, but soon his shoulders slumped. He knew he was good-looking, but it was hard to tell if the girl he wanted to impress would be drawn by his looks alone. He highly doubted it; they had lived under the same roof for ten years, yet she never giggled, batted her eyelashes, or pretended to drop her handkerchief when she was around him.
"Well, send for Hong now. Tell her that I want to hear her play the song that she performed at Eldest Brother's wedding feast."
When Shu-Mo hurried away, Fang dropped in a chair and tried to think of what to say when she arrived. Then he shook his head and laughed. It was absurd, him being worried about how a maidservant should see him.
But then she was no ordinary maid. Hong had come from a noble family, but her father had lost favour with the emperor and been thrown into prison. His compound and possessions had been confiscated, and Hong and her mother had been sold as slaves. Were it not for the compassion of his father, Governor Shue, it was likely that they would have ended up in a brothel.
He didn't know how long he had been drawn to her. It seemed strange, since there were so many pretty maids in the house, and considering his looks and status, he could pick anyone, or several. A couple of his brothers did just that—taking several concubines in addition to one wife, and still frequenting the brothel. Hong didn't stand out either—Golden Lotus was prettier, Silver Peony was more solicitous, but something inexplicable about Hong attracted him.
Fang cast his gaze over the garden outside. There was a magnificent pine tree just a few paces from his room, stretching over a small pond with pink lotus flowers floating on the still waters. Eleven years ago, he had been first introduced to Hong, right under this tree. His nanny had been friends with Hong's mother, who had occasionally paid a visit to the governor's house.
He could still remember seven-year-old Hong, with round pink cheeks and pink ribbons in her black hair, peering shyly at him behind her mother. He remembered how his nanny, Nurse Chang, had taken his hand and told him to "be nice to the little sister and show her around."
He remembered their first game: playing hide-and-seek with her in the garden. He had turned his back against her as he leaned into the pine tree and counted from one to twenty. He remembered she had wanted to catch the yellow butterflies hovering near the peony bushes, and he had asked for a net. He remembered sharing a big ripe pear with her, simply because neither of them could finish the pear on their own.
They had only played together a few times, but he had always looked forward to her visits.
However, everything had changed when Hong's father was persecuted.
Fang never forgot the day when his father had taken him for a walk, and right in the city centre was a display of slaves for sale. He noticed Hong right away—even though her clothes were dirty and tattered, her skin smudged with dirt, her hair bushy and unkempt.
When she had entered the Shue household, still a child of eight, she was quiet and reserved. She never complained or demanded special treatment. Sometimes he would hide and watch her practise the lute. He loved the serene, calm expression she wore, and the lovely music that seemed to flow from her heart, not just from her fingers.
But he was clueless on how to approach her. Although Hong was technically a servant, she had gained favour in his father's eyes. Shue Song allowed her to transcribe and sort books for him, and treated her well. When an elderly relative demanded to buy Hong, Shue had tactfully refused. He would not have Hong removed if she was unwilling.
Which was why even Fang, the governor's son, who could have any maid in his service, could not simply order Hong to come to him. Not that he would force any maid to be his concubine, anyway. Shue had long ago taught him that he should never abuse his power as one of the masters in the house.
Fang sighed. In a way, he preferred to court Hong, like the heroes in the romances he read. But Hong treated him just the same as everyone else. She was reserved, polite, and respectful around him—which only made things more frustrating. He didn't know what he could do to make her notice him, to realise that he was not simply a childhood friend. He wanted to make her his, keep her by his side, rather than seeing her serve his family and allowing them a share in her attentions. It was time to do something.

Q: Extract Text From Date Between Slashes I am trying to reformat a date from a short date format (e.g. 07/31/2018) to this custom format MMDDYY.  So if the date is 07/31/2018, I would like to make it 073118.
I'm really at a loss on how to do this.  The code below lets me extract the first two digits on the left of the first slash.  But I'm unsure how to extract the rest as well as work around the extraction with two slashes.  Could somebody please lead me in the right direction to accomplish this?
If InStr(strRDate, "/") > 0 Then
    strRDateL = Left(strRDate, InStr(strRDate, "/")-1)
    If Len(strRDateL)=2 Then
        subMoveCursor 11, 10
        subEnterData strRDateL
    End If
End If

A: The problem is not one of date formatting, but one of string manipulation. You have a string that represents a date in a specific format; the task is to drop some unwanted characters:
  Dim aT : aT = Split("07/31/2018,073118 01/01/0001,010101")
  Dim sP, aP, sL, sExp, sAct
  For Each sP in aT ' get pair
      aP = Split(sP, ",") ' split into long anf short parts
      sL = aP(0)
      sExp = aP(1)
      sAct = Left(sL, 2) & Mid(sL, 4, 2) & Right(sL, 2)
      WScript.Echo sL, sAct, CStr(sAct = sExp)
  Next

output:
cscript 51617746.vbs
07/31/2018 073118 Wahr
01/01/0001 010101 Wahr

A: You need to write your own date to string function.
The easiest way is likely to see if your string is recognized as a date by using the IsDate() function. Then you can cast it to a Date object using the CDate() function.
Then you can use other built-in date functions to get the Month, Day, and Year portions of the date.
strDate = "07/31/2018"

WScript.Echo FormatDate(strDate)
WScript.Echo FormatDateString(strDate)

Function FormatDate(strDate)
    If IsDate(strDate) Then
        dtmDate = CDate(strDate)
        return = Right("0" & Month(dtmDate),2) & Right("0" & Day(dtmDate),2) &  Right(Year(dtmDate),2)
    Else
        return = strDate
    End If
    FormatDate = return
End Function

If you don't want to do it this way, the other option is to format the incoming string directly. This would require you know for sure the input string will always be in the same format.
Function FormatDateString(strDate)
    'Add more error checking?
    FormatDateString = Split(strDate,"/")(0) & Split(strDate,"/")(1) & Right(strDate,2)
End Function

7-31-2018 would fail in FormatDateString, but succeed in FormatDate, for example.

A: If you can be absolutely certain the format is what you showed (since it is a date, it almost never is, but still), just treat it as a string and do something like:
Dim dt : dt = "07/31/2018" 'define "date" as a string
Dim a : a = Split(dt, "/") 'split string to array
WScript.Echo a(0) & a(1) & Right(a(2),2) ' emit to console

This does no checking of whether the passed value is actually a date of course, but is the shortest way I can think of without resorting to Mid().

A: This is how I got it to work.
If InStr(strRDate, "/") > 0 Then
    strRDateSplit = Split(strRDate, "/")
    subMoveCursor 11, 10
    subEnterData strRDateSplit(0) & strRDateSplit(1) & Right(strRDateSplit(2),2)
Else
    subMoveCursor 11, 10
    subEnterData rw.Cells(3).Value
End If

What if Finland's great teachers taught in New Hampshire?
In the United States today, 23 percent of children live in poor homes. In Finland, the same way to calculate child poverty would show that figure to be almost five times smaller. The United States ranked in the bottom four in the recent United Nations review on child well-being. Among 29 wealthy countries, the United States landed second from the last in child poverty and held a similarly poor position in "child life satisfaction." Teachers alone, regardless of how effective they are, will not be able to overcome the challenges that poor children bring with them to schools everyday.
Mr. Sahlberg makes one important point after another in this paragraph. It should be said, though, that New Hampshire's evaluation model is flexible on the use of student performance. The school district decides how much to factor student performance into teaching evaluations and, even at at, the primary measure of student performance is not test results but how well student learning compares to "student learning objectives." To the extent that test results are used, schools could use student growth rather than absolute results and attribute that to teams of teachers rather than individual teachers (here's a great discussion of how to do that). So, in the end, the New Hampshire model is pretty far from the punitive models used in other states. However, there is still a complexity to measuring student performance and using it in teaching evaluations that will make it difficult for teachers and administrators to trust it.
It is worth pointing out that many New Hampshire teachers already make heavy use of the annual test results. They talk of sitting around together to discuss what the scores tell them about what they are doing well and not well. The best teachers don't seem to fear the test results, but consider them one legitimate source of feedback. Testing gets a bad name from being used as a bludgeon to fire teachers and close schools. But if teachers consider the results basically legitimate and the use in teaching evaluation as supportive rather than punitive, maybe test results could become one component of an evaluation system they would trust.
I argue that if there were any gains in student achievement they would be marginal. Why? Education policies in Indiana and many other states in the United States create a context for teaching that limits (Finnish) teachers to use [I think he meant "teachers' ability to use"] their skills, wisdom and shared knowledge for the good of their students' learning. Actually, I have met some experienced Finnish-trained teachers in the United States who confirm this hypothesis. Based on what I have heard from them, it is also probable that many of those transported Finnish teachers would be already doing something else than teach by the end of their fifth year – quite like their American peers.
I think he's right about Indiana but that, possibly depending on the district, those Finnish teachers could have a good experience here.
What if Finland's great teachers taught in U.S. schools?.
By ANHPE in Education Reform, Improving Education, International Comparison, Teacher Evaluation on May 18, 2013 .
I agree with most of your posts and I even agree with most of what you've written here, but not all of it. I think you have a few contradictions at work here. First you correctly point out that Finnish teachers are exceptionally well trained, high-achieving professionals. Then you also correctly point out that U.S. teachers are not nearly as well trained, at least many of them, and it is well known that that they come from the bottom half of the SAT/ACT distribution at most universities. So if these two things are true, then it does NOT follow that U.S. teachers would flourish in Finland. I'd argue that Finish teachers could do well here because of their high ability and superior training, but we cannot assume the converse is true.
do well in New Hampshire where there is a good chance they would be allowed to flourish.
As to whether our teachers would flourish in Finland….it is just a thought experiment…but I didn't say ours were poorly trained. He kind of does, saying that the quality of the institutions varies widely and TFA folks couldn't possibly be good teachers. But without even being too precise about how well trained an American teacher going to Finland might be, it does seem to me that in a pedagogically rich environment, surrounded by good teachers and led by a good principal, all working in a system in the habit of delivering to an established national standard…I don't know, but it seems to me inevitable the the American teacher would become a better and better teacher.
Yes, I agree that a stifling structure would likely lessen the effectiveness of Finnish teachers. While you might not have said it, I'll say it. Many of our teachers are not very well trained, we have lousy to non-existent induction programs, and generally weak professional development, so we are dealing with many teachers who have not had a decent opportunity to learn their craft. But I think we have a chicken and egg problem here. Did the policies in this country come about because it is too hard to deal with the real structural issues and did the policies in Finland evolve the way they did because they were afforded the opportunity to focus intensely on teacher quality? Of course, teacher evaluation systems can't fix structural weaknesses in our system and a homogeneous country of 5 million people is able to do things we can't seem to do in this country (heck, can our policy makers in Washington do anything!!).
Yes. A lot of important stuff for us to consider.


Hanoi (VNA) - The Ministry of Finance has proposed to lower import tax on bio-fuel ethanol from 20 to 17 percent so as to make E5 petrol cheaper.
Vietnam will replace RON 92 petrol with E5 bio-fuel from the beginning of 2018, and with E10 after 2019. E5 petrol is a mix of A92 petrol (95 percent) and bio-fuel ethanol (5 percent).
The ministry has gathered suggestions on import tax imposed on bio-fuel ethanol to create E5 petrol as it is worried that the country will face ethanol shortage.
Statistics from the ministry show that the E5 demand in 2018 will be 6.2 million cu.m after the bio-fuel petrol replaces RON 92 petrol completely at the start of the year. The demand for E10 is expected to be 6.6 million cu.m in 2019, and 7.1 million cu.m in 2020.
Currently, the supply of bio-fuel ethanol for E5 petrol comes mainly from two plants owned by Tung Lam Joint Stock Company that have a total annual capacity of 200,000 cu.m, which can be used to produce 3.9 million cu.m of E5 a year. The two plants have been operating at 30 percent of their designed capacity, while there are two other plants in Dung Quat and Binh Phuoc that have halted operations temporarily.
If the two ethanol production plants in Dung Quat and Binh Phuoc resume operations, the total ethanol supplies of the four plants would be sufficient to cater to the E5 petrol demand in 2018. However, it is expected that the country will fall short of 200,000 cu.m of ethanol in 2019 and 300,000 cu.m in 2020.
If the two plants don't resume operations by the beginning of 2018, the country's ethanol supplies will be a maximum of only 200,000 cu.m a year, making for a shortfall of 111,370 cu.m in 2018.
Local firms have not been importing ethanol because currently the demand for it is low as RON 92 petrol and E5 bio-fuel will co-exist until December 31 this year.
If Vietnam needs to import ethanol from 2018 to produce E5 petrol, it will have to import the bio-fuel from the US and Brazil as the E5 supplies of Asian countries such as Thailand and China have been used up owing to local demand.

Selecting a Legal Entity for Your Buisness
One of the first major decisions you will have to make as you start your new business is the form of legal entity it will take. To a large degree, this decision may be dictated by the way you have organised your operations and whether you intend to work on your own or in conjunction with others.
The form of entity you choose can have a significant impact on the way you are protected under the law and the way you are affected by taxation rules and regulations. There are four basic forms of business organisation. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks and is treated differently for legal and tax purposes.
A sole proprietorship is typically a business owned and operated by one individual. A sole proprietorship is not considered to be a separate legal entity under the law, but rather is an extension of the individual who owns it. The owner has possession of the business assets and is directly responsible for the debts and other liabilities incurred by the business. The profit or loss of a sole proprietorship is combined with the other income of an individual for income tax purposes.
A sole proprietorship is perhaps the easiest form of business to own and operate because it does not require any specific legal organisation, except, of course, the normal requirements such as licenses or permits. A sole proprietorship typically does not have any rules or operating regulations under which it must function. The business decisions are solely the result of the owner's abilities.
In a partnership, two or more individuals join together to run the business enterprise. Each of the individual partners has ownership of partnership assets and responsibility for liabilities, as well as authority in running the business. The authority of the partners, and the way in which profits or losses are to be shared, can be modified by the partnership agreement. The responsibility for liabilities can also be modified by agreement among the partners, but partnership creditors typically have recourse to the personal assets of each of the partners for settlement of partnership debts.
The rights, responsibilities and obligations of partners are typically detailed in a partnership agreement. It is a good idea to have such an agreement for any partnership.
A partnership is a legal entity recognised under the law and, as such, it has rights and responsibilities in and of itself. A partnership can sign contracts, obtain trade credit and borrow money. When a partnership is small, most creditors require a personal guarantee of the general partners for credit.
A partnership is also required to file an income tax return. A partnership typically does not pay income tax; the information from the partnership tax return is combined with the personal income of the partners to determine their overall tax liability.
The Limited Liability Partnership ("LLP") offers limited liability to its members but, like a traditional partnership, is tax transparent and offers flexibility in terms of its internal organisation.
An LLP is a separate legal entity from its members. Therefore, it may enter into contracts and deeds, sue and be sued and grant floating charges over its assets in its own name. This avoids the problems that exist in relation to partnerships, where technically it is often necessary for every partner to be party to certain documents or litigation, and the creation of floating charges is not possible.
The members of the LLP are those persons registered at Companies House as members.
The main "price" paid in return for limited liability is public availability of financial statements. An LLP must file accounts (prepared on a "true and fair view" basis) annually at Companies House, which must include the name and profit share of the highest paid member.
In addition the LLP must also file details of the name and address of every member at Companies House. At least two members must be "designated members" responsible for making proper filings at Companies House (and subject to penalties in the event of default).
Provided an LLP carries on a trade or a profession and is not simply an investment vehicle, it is tax transparent – that is, the LLP itself is not taxed on its income or capital gains at all. Instead the members are taxed on their shares of the LLPs' profits and gains, just as partners in a partnership are currently taxed.
Up until 6 April 2014, all members of a LLP were taxed as self employed individuals. However, from 6 April 2014, certain members (mainly those receiving a fixed profit share) are now required to be taxed as employees with PAYE and Class 1 National Insurance Contributions ('EEs and 'ERs) being payable on their remuneration from the LLP.
LLPs were primarily intended for use by the professions. However, any type of business operating for profit may use LLPs. An LLP may be suitable for use as a joint venture vehicle or as an alternative to a limited company, particularly for small businesses.
A limited company is a separate legal entity that exists under the authority granted by statute. A limited company has substantially all of the legal rights of an individual and is responsible for its own debts. It must also file tax returns and pay taxes on income it derives from its operations. Typically, the owners or shareholders of a limited company are protected from the liabilities of the business. However, when a limited company is small, creditors often require personal guarantees of the principal owners before extending credit. The legal protection afforded to the owners of a limited company can be useful.
A limited company must obtain approval from Companies House to use its proposed name. A limited company must also adopt and file a Memorandum and Articles of Association, which govern its rights and obligations to its shareholders, directors and officers.
A limited company must file annual tax returns ("corporation" tax returns) with HM Revenue & Customs.
Incorporating a business allows a number of other advantages such as the ease of bringing in additional capital through the issue of share capital, or allowing an individual to sell or transfer their interest in the business. It also provides for business continuity when the original owners choose to retire or sell their shares. From a tax perspective, the act of incorporation can create advantages via:
Selling the business to the company at market value and paying Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on the gain at 10{8ee99a90b51e2217d12101096daf2ee9e40c43b9c2fa413e32f91dd0a196a214} instead of the normal rate of tax when funds are withdrawn from a limited company
Obtaining corporation tax relief in the company on amortising the goodwill where the business started after 31 March 2002
Saving National Insurance contributions (NICs) by drawing profits as dividends rather than as salary
Should you decide to incorporate your business venture, you should seek advice from an accountant.
Business Structure – The Pros and Cons
Company Sole Trader/Partnership
A company must be formally incorporated with a written constitution in the form of a Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation. There is, therefore, an initial setup cost. There are no formation costs, but a written partnership agreement is advised.
Companies are governed by the Companies Acts. A company must:– Keep accounting records- Produce audited accounts (if turnover > £6.5m)- File accounts and an Annual Return with the Registrar of Companies. This information is available to the public.
– Keep Statutory Books showing details of shareholders and directors Sole traders and partnerships are not required by law to have annual accounts nor to file accounts for inspection. However, annual accounts are necessary for the HM Revenue and Customs tax returns.
Companies may have greater borrowing potential. They can use current assets as security by creating a floating charge. Sole traders and partners are unrestricted in the amount and purpose of borrowings but cannot create floating charges.
Shares in a company are generally transferable –therefore ownership may change but the business continues.
Incorporation does not guarantee reliability or respectability but gives the impression of a soundly based organisation. Personally, there may be prestige attached to directorship. The unincorporated business does not carry the same prestige.
Tax is payable on directors' remuneration paid via PAYE on the 19th of the following month. If applicable, higher rate tax is paid by shareholders on dividends under the self-assessment rules.Corporation tax is payable 9 months after the year-end. For a sole trader or partnership, tax is generally paid by instalments on the 31 January in the tax year and the 31 July following the tax year. For an ongoing business tax for 2013/14 is payable: first payment on account on 31 January 2014, second payment on account on 31 July 2014, with any final balance due on 31 January 2015. For a start-up business, this is slightly different and covered in more detail later in this publication.
First year losses in a company can only be carried forward to set against future profits. Losses generated by a sole trader or a partner can be set against other income of the year or carried back to prior years, potentially resulting in a tax refund.
For profits up to £300,000 tax is charged at 20{8ee99a90b51e2217d12101096daf2ee9e40c43b9c2fa413e32f91dd0a196a214} (2014/15) Profits are taxed at 40{8ee99a90b51e2217d12101096daf2ee9e40c43b9c2fa413e32f91dd0a196a214} on taxable income in excess of £31,865 and at 45{8ee99a90b51e2217d12101096daf2ee9e40c43b9c2fa413e32f91dd0a196a214} over £150,000 (2014/15)
There is both employers' and employees' national insurance payable on directors salaries and bonuses. The NI charge is greater than that paid by a sole trader/partner, but there is no NI charge on dividends. A partner/sole trader will pay Class 2 NI of £2.75 p.w. (2014/15) and Class 4 NI dependent on the level of profits.

SWIFT reveals its low value cross-border payments play
28th Jul 2021 by Ben Poole
Last year, SWIFT announced that it was trialling a new service for low value cross-border payments. Now, the SWIFT community has unveiled the solution for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and consumer payments that it was working on.
The solution, SWIFT Go, is designed to enable SMEs and consumers to send fast, predictable, secure, and competitively priced low-value cross-border payments anywhere in the world, direct from their bank accounts.
"As customer expectations for faster payments evolve, the correspondent banking industry requires a solution to more competitively process SME and consumer payments," said Jean-François Mazure, head of Cash Clearing and Correspondent Banking at Société Générale. "SWIFT Go fits perfectly with it, allowing us to provide an outstanding experience to our customers with predictable, seamless, and frictionless low-value cross-border transactions reaching beneficiaries accounts quicker than ever."
Seamless payments experience
"It's no secret that for many years consumers and small businesses have been running into varying pain points when transacting international payments," commented Isabel Schmidt, head of Direct Clearing and Asset Account Services Products at Bank of New York Mellon. "These challenges have included opaque costs and lack of certainty on how quickly funds are delivered to the final beneficiary. This is why BNY Mellon is pleased to be the first US bank to go live with SWIFT Go, a new service that overcomes all of these challenges and assists financial institutions in delivering a competitive, seamless, fast and predictable payments experience to their customers."
Using tighter service level agreements between institutions and pre-validation of data, SWIFT Go enables banks to provide their end customers with a fast and predictable payments experience with upfront visibility on processing times and costs.
"BBVA is very excited to be one of the first banks to sign up to SWIFT Go and we recognise the potential of this solution to revolutionise the way SMEs and consumers move money around the world," said Raouf Soussi, head of Enterprise Payments Strategy of Client Solutions at BBVA. "We have listened closely to our customers and we know how much they value a secure service that ensures payments reach their destination quickly and seamlessly."
Building on strong foundations
SWIFT Go builds on the high-speed rails of SWIFT gpi, which have transformed the speed and predictability of high-value payments.
"SWIFT gpi has become the benchmark for high-value cross-border transactions and we are confident that SWIFT Go will be equally as transformative for SME payments," added Feng Liang, Deputy CEO of MYBank. "By providing for instant, seamless transactions within one of the highest growth areas of our industry, we expect that adoption of SWIFT Go will be widespread and that it will quickly be established as the industry standard for lower value transactions."
Delivering industry transformation
SWIFT Go marks another milestone in SWIFT's strategy to enable instant and frictionless transactions from one account to another, across the SWIFT network that connects more than 11,000 institutions, and 4 billion accounts across 200 countries worldwide. It will further strengthen the capabilities of banks to serve their customers in the high-growth small business and consumer payments segments.
"SWIFT Go is a further step towards achieving our vision of enabling anybody, anywhere, to send money instantly and securely around the world," noted Stephen Gilderdale, Chief Product Officer at SWIFT. "The new service is a direct response to the needs of small businesses and consumers for fast, easy, predictable, secure and competitively priced cross-border payments. Our new service will allow banks to compete effectively in one of the fastest growing segments of the payments market, delivering a seamless experience for their customers."
Service now live
SWIFT Go was developed in close collaboration with the global SWIFT community. Seven global banks, which collectively handle 33 million low-value cross-border payments per year, are already live with the service. The live banks are BBVA, Bank of New York Mellon, DNB, MYBank, SberBank, Société Générale, and UniCredit, with many others set to begin soon.
The service is underpinned by the following pillars:
Speed: Tighter service levels between banks increase speed. A single payment format increases straight-through processing, while services such as pre-validation remove frictions that cause delays.
Predictability: The amount, time, fees and foreign exchange rate of a payment are known in advance. The sender and receiver of a payment can track the status in real-time.
Easy to use: The user experience is simple and streamlined, with data requirements known upfront. Strict network validation provides for easy initiation and processing of SWIFT Go payments.
Competitive prices: Processing fees are agreed between financial institutions upfront so they can provide their customers with full transparency; increased straight-through processing further reduces processing costs.
Security: Senders and receivers have peace of mind that payments are underpinned by the strong security of the SWIFT network.

About Harlow Men's Forum
Meeting Place on Harlow Hill
Welcome Back Harlow Men's Forum…41st Season
PROGRAMME 2012 – 2013
History of Harlow Men's Forum
Report 24th January 2012
Posted on 25/01/2012 by harlowmensforum | Leave a comment
At the beginning of the meeting members stood for a moment in memory of Alec Cobb who died recently. The Chairman, Roy Howard, will represent the Forum at the funeral.
Our speaker this week was our own member and Vice-Chairman Roger Bancroft, who showed us his indentures as ship's apprentice when he went to sea on leaving school in Keighley in 1962.
By the time he retired at the age of 55 in 2000, he had become a Captain of container ships and latterly of oil tankers.
He does not miss his job or the world travel but misses looking out at the vastness of the oceans and the darkness of the night sky before light pollution became a problem. His favourite harbour was St. John's Newfoundland, where he would have liked to emigrate.
On board, sex, politics and religion were banned as subjects for discussion to avoid controversy among the crew. In later years drink and drugs were banned although they had been tolerated in the 60s and 70s. To our surprise separation from family was not as great as might have been imagined. Roger's wife had accompanied him on many trips.
After a fascinating PowerPoint presentation, he had some comments to make about disasters at sea. As a young man he had been involved in the search for bodies after the Laconia sinking of 1963 (123 died ). More recently his union magazine had warned of the lack of attention to safety among some cruise ships in an article written only three weeks before the Costa Concordia was holed. Roger's view is that "Some of the people who design ships should sail in them."
The title of the talk," Nitty Gritty" came from the nickname of one of the ships in which he sailed, the London Integrity. Roger promised to return with further reminiscences for our 37th season in two years time.

Alec Cobb
The sad news was received today that long serving member, Alec Cobb ,had died. Heartfelt condolences go from all members of the Forum to Alec's friends and family.

Posted in Obituary
The Forum's second special Anniversary Lecture, "The Time of Your Life", was given by David Davies, current Chairman of Harrogate U3A and former Lecturer at Leeds Metropolitan University.
In an outstanding Power-Point presentation delivered with great authority without notes, Mr. Davies recalled the years of austerity after 1945 and up to the Festival of Britain in 1951, years which most but not all the audience remembered well.
The presentation comprised a beguiling mixture of serious historical analysis and illustrations of popular culture of the time. Mr. Davies showed how Churchill was outwitted by Roosevelt at the Yalta Conference and how Britain was effectively broke by the end of the war. He rejected the Corelli Barnett thesis that Britain should have placed industrial regeneration ahead of establishing the Welfare State after 1945: after years of wartime hardship, the public would not have accepted it and all parties had accepted the Beveridge Plan. Mr. Davies went on to analyse the personalities of the Labour Government and praised Attlee and Bevin as true patriots. He also analysed the Cold War, including the Berlin airlift of 1948 in which Britain played a much bigger part than the USA now admits and the Korean War of 1950-53 (Pictures of the 'Glorious Glosters' ).
Alongside the serious analysis an appreciative audience enjoyed photographs of life of the period – days at the seaside where formal dress still appeared
( no leisure clothes ), the great snows of 1947 and the transport of the period
( the Morris Minor, the Pacific locomotives and the De Havilland Comet with its faulty window design ).
Ken Roberts, our own 'Bevin Boy', gave the vote of thanks and hoped that Mr. Davies would return for the 2013 season to continue the story of the years which we have all experienced. A richly nostalgic morning!
Baltic Cruise: Moscow – St.Petersburg
Norman Hails, Programme Secretary for Bilton Men's Forum, spoke about a river cruise holiday from Moscow to St.Petersburg in the spring of 2008.
During the holiday his excellent slides showed the transition from a wet, cold May in Moscow to the uncomfortable heat of St.Petersburg in June. An aural tape of the monks of St.Cyril monastery on the river Volga ("Mother of Russia") added to the atmosphere of the talk.
Particularly memorable were the many traditional wooden churches and cathedrals, including the Church of the Transfiguration built on the flat, watery environs of KIZHI island, which had been a pagan ritual site centuries before. Nearby Norman's party had visited a baboushka's house and found that many older Russians still yearned for the old communist certainties when welfare payments were guaranteed.
At St.Petersburg (Leningrad from 1924 to 1991 ) the Palace of Tsarskoe Selo bequeathed by Peter the Great to Catherine 1st displays such wealth and ostentation of gold and amber that the party had a greater understanding of why the battleship Aurora ( also seen ) opened fire on the Czar's Winter Palace in 1917. This event started the Russian revolution.
During questions our popular member, Denis Smith, displayed a knowledge of the Russian language which gained him a round of applause, the first ever for a contribution from the floor!
Michael Cockrane, our new member from the now sadly defunct Woodlands Men's Fellowship, gave the vote of thanks on behalf of another large gathering.
Chairman's Welcome

Here's quite a flattering review of my latest release, the WILDFIRE EP...
The first question that comes to mind when listening to a new Neorev release is, "How in the hell does Michael Matteo keep getting better?" With his "Wildfire" EP, he not only brings us some stellar originals, but also provides enough worthy remixes and collaborations to present an album's worth of his best material to date.
The opening title track is a perfectly wicked dubstep tune inspired by the explosives on Game of Thrones. "Don't Let 'Em Get You Down," an infectious bit of neo-disco follows, incorporating elements of Kraftwerk and dance industrial to the regiment. On "No Control," Matteo truly steps outside the framework of electronic dance music to make a masterful electro-punk hybrid that is possibly his best track to date. "Throttle" recalls Superstar DJ Keoki, while "Better" comes across as the relaxing intro or middle to a jungle track without the drum and bass madness, which, by the way, is in full effect on the phenomenal remix of "Hard Style" by Noise Generator. "Prune Juice," "Knot Rot" and "Ruff, Rugged, 'N Raw," collaborations with various rappers, represent hip-hop, and the closing "Live at the Electro-Music Festival" presents a powerful near-35-minute live set that proves that Matteo can be as exciting outside of the studio as he is in it.
It's rare to find an artist that evolves so beautifully as Neorev has over the past few years. At this point, he should be producing top-ten hits for A-list pop-stars, but the music industry, as usual, is looking backward, not forward. Neorev is the future, and I like where it's headed.

Happy holidays to my friends, my family, and my fans...
I wanted to do something special this year... so here's a collection of bootlegs and remixes spanning the last decade of me doing my music thang. It's all for free download in the format of your choice. 2013 is almost here and I can't believe the new year will mark ten years for NR. In 2003, I uploaded my first official track "Crank This Shit Up" under the Neorev alias for an online competition on a fan website for The Prodigy. Now here I am ten years later... still soldiering on... still making the beats. And I'm not stopping anytime soon! I love you all from the bottom of my heart and appreciate all of the support over this last decade. Keep spreading the love and I'll keep making the beats. Hope you all enjoy this little special collection that'll be up for a limited time. Stay safe, be well, and I wish the best for you and yours. New music in 2013

Well you are here Warrior and that is what counts.
Respect for your support mate
Someone mentioned that they had issues with Bandcamp and trying to download from it...
So I wanted to make sure there were some other options in case Bandcamp acts a lil funky for some peeps
i started digging through all of my project files...
since i began work on CHILDREN OF THE BOMB, so we're talking about March of 2011...
searching through all the ideas that i wrote over the course of writing an album and it's three companion EPs up until where we are today, January of 2013.
i took all of these ideas, the better ones at least, and mashed 'em up into a 25 minute long medley, featuring over 70 something demo bits that never quite made it into becoming a fully realized track.
this will give you an idea of the amount of material that gets made during the whole writing process and give you a behind the scenes look at the unreleased works...
http://www.neorevmusic.com/Neorev_-_The ... 1-2013.mp3

everything youve done recently is sounding like you are starting to hit your stride, keep working hard man 'Don't Let 'Em Get You Down' is my fave track and 'no control' is pretty catchy
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 10:39 pm
@Glowkid
appreciate all of your support, bruv. and for always showing me love on your show. it means a lot to me
@Warrior
thanks mate! yeah i definitely feel like i keep improving with each release. which i guess is a good thing, especially when you can feel it yourself. to feel that you're always moving ahead and not becoming stagnant or stuck in a rut. but it also puts more pressure on you, to try and top the last one... doyouknowwhatimean
after No Control, gonna take a little break from full on releases and really get my head into working on a brand new album. something before the end of the year hopefully. it's just getting in that mindset and getting the ball rolling on something cohesive.
i hope to put together another physical CD for sale by the summer, a kinda Best Of from all these extra tracks that were spread throughout the EPs... but with some extra stuff. for instance, the Slaughterhouse rework on "Let's Get Down" has a full on vocal mix featuring rapper Centri and there's a new live re-edit of Blue Lines that's a bit faster and has some changes. so i wanna put a couple few little exclusive things on it to make it special. and it will also be up for download as well.
i'm in the middle of working on an electronic rap project with Centri as well as a project with It Was July. i've also been helping Susan mix and master her next EP, which is gonna be amazing. much darker and more aggressive compared to Revelation.
so it's been a busy last couple of years
It is finally here...
01 NO CONTROL [featuring It Was July]
02 MONETARY POLICY [featuring Centri]
03 RIPTIDE
04 VAPOR TRAIL
05 DEMON INSIDE

Sisters Clydia and Sherry began Green Hair Revolution as an outlet to discuss and share experiences pertaining to hair with other like minded hair enthusiasts. After many forums, meet up sessions, and on-line videos they realized that as a society many of our issues with hair were greater then what was on top of our heads.
At Green Hair Revolution we believe that be it on your body, face, or head, whether removed, replaced, relaxed, dyed, bound, loose, long, short, curly, straight, or synthetic; hair is essentially inscribed with meaning as a display of personal preference or dictated rules of conduct. Besides its symbolic importance, hair accounts for a global economy as both a commodity and the target of countless products. In 2015, the global hair-care market is forecast to have an amassed value of almost $58 billion, an increase of 18.3% since 2010.

Wouldn't it be great if you could take your entire music collection with you wherever you go? If you have an iPod or other MP3 player this is possible to a certain extent, but Google Music helps you to take things even further. This cloud-based service enables you to store all of your purchased music online as well as up to 20,000 songs from other sources – tracks you have recorded, downloaded or ripped yourself.
One of the greatest features of Google Play Music Manager is that you may find that you don't actually have to upload your entire music collection in order to make it available online. There is a music matching feature which means that your music collection is analyzed and if Google Play already includes tracks from your collection there is no need to upload them as you can just play the existing versions.
If your own audio files are of low quality, there's an added bonus: all of the tracks stored on Google Player are 320kbps versions so your matched files could well end up being available at a higher quality than you had originally.
Of course, the whole point of the Music Manager is to get your music online so that it can be accessed from any device with an internet connection, but if you would like to make it available offline, there is the option to download your entire library – this could be for backup purposes or to move your collection to a new music device.
An excellent way to listen to your favorite music on any device through Google, but you may have to be prepared to wait a while for the initial upload.

Q: How to validate inputs when I just opened the form without touching input on React hook form I'm using react hook form for validate my form,
  const { register, handleSubmit, formState:{errors, isValid}  } = useForm({
    mode: "onBlur"
  });

this is a header when I have button submit
  <Navigation

this is a button

but I need to see all require fields when I just opened the page, to see all mistake for correct filling all inputs, how can I do it, anybody know, maybe should I use watch() method, or maybe this is impossible in this library, because I see only several mode onBlur, onSubmit... but there is not on coming to page or something similar...?


I'm so happy that spring is almost here! Christine joining you today and playing with the Spring Garden collection got me right in the mood for flowers and sunshine and all the fun that comes with Spring! As a mom to four kids I am always on the lookout for ways to knock out a stack of pictures quickly. But I also want my layouts to look good and tell the story I want to share. Enter the polaroid paper from the Spring Garden collection. A great way to get a whole bunch of those little pictures onto a layout in a pretty and trendy setup!
I keep a stack of pictures organized for each of my kids and pull from it when I am ready to tell the story. But here's the deal - there are a lot of cute faces that have already had the story told! There are also a lot of pictures that the faces are just too small to work on their own layout. This paper was the perfect solution. I just went through my stack and started pulling out pictures that I knew would fit. I had to be able to fit the face in a 1 1/4" X 1 1/8". I couldn't believe how many I had that worked! So I sorted through and used only ones she was smiling in and only ones that had decent lighting.
Initially I filled up every space but that was a little overwhelming. I ended up leaving an empty one on each line and then filling those with Doodle-Pops, Fancy Frills, Sprinkles, and Cardstock Stickers! I cut the pictures to the size I did so that I could leave some color in the background of each. I think that adds to the spring feel don't you!?!
I could have easily have filled the whole paper with pictures but I knew I wanted someplace for a title. So I added a monochromatic patterned paper to the top of the page. I wanted to use the word "sunshine" because I thought it fit with her smile! On top of the word I added a sunshine on top of one of the die cut flowers. I then used Chunky Doodle Twine and Fancy Frills to create sun rays.
I surrounded the sunshine with my daughter's name spelled out in the Chippers Alphabet Stickers. I also added some cardstock stickers and sprinkles to the title to add a bit more color.
So who's ready to get a whole bunch of pictures on a layout now?!?
OMG What a Fabulous and oh so creative scrapping idea...I've never seen this done before...I'm a die hard scrapper and print all my own pics 1000's a year and have printed them tiny and use the TH film strip die allot....but you idea is awesome....I so am going to be doing this you are so right so many awesome pics and can only fit so many on a layout....You've blew me away when I saw your layout..it's a Genius Scrappin' idea. YOU so ROCK!!
Christine I love everything about this page!
