Getting called into Human Resources for Amy's outburst, Mrs. Davis tells her and Sheldon they are blowing their chances at the Nobel Prize. Amy would be the fourth woman to win in Physics, pressuring her to be a role model for women everywhere. To calm down, they try a sensory deprivation tank, which Sheldon loves, but Amy's mood only worsens. Sheldon does not know how to help and ends up holding her while singing "Soft Kitty". A newly confident Amy goes back to Human Resources to be allowed to campaign again and shares a drink with Mrs. Davis. Meanwhile, Howard buys a scooter to ride with Raj like in the old days. Bernadette finds out and makes him sell it since it's too dangerous. Bert buys it and ends up meeting a nurse after he dislocates his arm in a wreck.
Filming proceeds smoothly – makeup artists do touch-ups, a prop master replenishes the pickle supply – with humor and camaraderie between takes. When a reshoot is needed because Simon Helberg, who plays Howard, held his napkin in the wrong hand, Kaley Cuoco, who plays Penny, lifts her food box high and mockingly asks, "Does it go over my head? I don't remember."
And while the actor, 44, doesn't have any other gigs lined up just yet—his most recent stab at producing, CBS' Living Biblically, was canceled after 13 episodes in 2018—he's busy preparing for his biggest role yet: fatherhood. On May 3, 2019, he and girlfriend Alaina Meyer announced that they were expecting their first child together. "We are absolutely over the moon to announce that we will soon be welcoming a little one into this crazy and wonderful world," he wrote on social media, sharing the big news. "There truly is love out there for all. We hope ours is the ember of yours, as we feel yours is the ember of ours."
Leonard's mother Beverly visits, and he is thrilled when she takes an interest in his work. However, when he learns that she is doing research on him for a new parenting book, he is furious. He prepares to tell her how she let him down over the years, but instead chooses to accept and forgive her, and forgive himself for holding onto that resentment for so long. Beverley is touched that he forgave her and they share a genuine hug. Meanwhile, Anu gets a job offer in London. Raj prepares to fly out and propose to her, ready to follow her if she accepts. Howard stops Raj at the airport, saying there is a better match out there for him, convincing Raj to return home. Stuart and Denise are bothered by her creepy roommate Mitch, while Bernadette and Howard are tired of Denise constantly staying overnight with Stuart at their house. Stuart says he is ready to move in with Denise, and they say they love each other while convincing Mitch to move out.
Initial reception for the series was mixed. The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 52% approval rating for the first season based on reviews from 23 critics, with an average rating of 5.18/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "The Big Bang Theory brings a new class of character to mainstream television, but much of the comedy feels formulaic and stiff."[91] On Metacritic, the season holds a score of 57 out of 100, based on reviews from 23 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[92] Later seasons received more acclaim and in 2013, TV Guide ranked the series #52 on its list of the 60 Best Series of All Time.[93]
One of the recurring plot lines is the relationship between Leonard and Penny. Leonard becomes attracted to Penny in the pilot episode and his need to do favors for her is a frequent point of humor in the first season. Meanwhile, Penny dates a series of muscular, attractive, unintelligent, and insensitive jocks. Their first long-term relationship begins when Leonard returns from a three-month expedition to the North Pole in the season 3 premiere. However, when Leonard tells Penny that he loves her, she realizes she cannot say it back. Both Leonard and Penny go on to date other people; most notably with Leonard dating Raj's sister Priya for much of season 4. This relationship is jeopardized when Leonard comes to falsely believe that Raj has slept with Penny, and ultimately ends when Priya sleeps with a former boyfriend in "The Good Guy Fluctuation".
"It's different for everybody. It was time for me and I felt that. It's both simple and complicated. I don't have a diary that I could bring out and say, 'Here are the reasons as far as quote-unquote future plans in a concrete way or (that I had) a problem with coming here.' None of those things were true," he says. "I felt it was the right moment for me. But, it only helps so much to go through the end of something like this feeling you've made the right choice. It's still exceedingly emotional."
Sheldon has been writing to the reclusive scientist Dr. Wolcott (Peter MacNicol) who invites Sheldon to visit him in his completely isolated mountain cabin. The women quickly ask Leonard, Raj and Howard to tag along with him, making this his bachelor party, despite Sheldon's assertions that it shouldn't be called such. Wolcott has a brilliant mind but his behavior is very strange to the guys. He tells Sheldon he cut off all contact with others to focus on science. Though Sheldon enjoys the science, he decides that he doesn't want to live like Wolcott because of his friends and Amy. The guys leave to avoid Wolcott, whose theories about time make him doubt whether the guys were ever there. Meanwhile, Penny and Bernadette throw Amy a quilting bee for her bachelorette party, which she quickly finds boring. When Amy tells them she wants a night full of bad decisions as she earlier implied, they go to a bar where Amy drinks a few shots and passes out in twelve minutes. When she wakes up back at the apartment hungover and disappointed, the women lie and reassure her she had a wild time, involving her drunkenly riverdancing.
After Sheldon has a food truck moved away from the building, Leonard and Penny are shocked to find he is the leader and sole member of the Tenants' Association for the building. Amy doesn't want to be caught in the middle but secretly suggests they rally support from the other tenants to vote Sheldon out. Nobody else supports Leonard so Amy tells them Sheldon was never added to the lease when he moved across the hall with her. Sheldon fires back with his own legal technicality so Amy is forced to support Leonard. She makes Sheldon happy by saying he can be Leonard's official opposition, making Leonard believe he made a mistake. Meanwhile, Howard and Raj find a drone. Raj returns it to the cute owner Cynthia and gets her number. Unfortunately, Cynthia watches footage of Raj on the drone and is immediately turned off.
Sheldon's mother Mary refuses to attend his wedding unless he invites his older brother George, with whom he is no longer speaking. Sheldon and Leonard fly to Texas to talk to George, who now owns a chain of tire stores. He refuses to attend and later explains to Leonard and Sheldon that the family sacrificed a lot to fund Sheldon's education, and he was stuck caring for their mother and sister Missy after their father died while Sheldon was in college. Sheldon never thanked him for this. Leonard takes George back to the hotel room where Sheldon apologizes for what he did and the brothers reconcile. George agrees to attend the wedding. Meanwhile, Howard and Bernadette's children contract pinkeye, infecting everyone except Penny, much to Amy's fury.
^ From the eighth season onward, episodes of each season initially aired on Monday nights, before later returning to the Thursday night slot for the rest of the season. The eighth and ninth seasons returned on the seventh episode,[126][127] the tenth and eleventh seasons on the sixth episode,[128][129] and the twelfth season on the second episode.[130]
Sheldon and Amy struggle to choose a best man and maid of honor from their friends. They secretly decide to test and score them, allowing everyone to have an equal shot at either role. Once the gang finds out, none of them apart from Bernadette and Stuart want to be in the wedding. Sheldon settles for Stuart as best man but, once Leonard tells Sheldon that, as the groom, the decision is his alone, he picks Leonard. Amy is set to call Bernadette but, once Penny realizes Amy is her best friend, she immediately pitches herself for the position and Amy enthusiastically chooses her. Amy later makes Penny tell Bernadette the bad news.
Sheldon needs half a billion dollars to prove his latest concept of string theory, which the University cannot afford to fund. Crowdfunding and selling some of his most valuable comic books to Stuart give him a small start. When Raj mentions gambling in Las Vegas, Sheldon goes there but is caught calculating odds by security before he can make any bets. Meanwhile, Amy takes Penny and Bernadette shopping for her wedding dress. She loves an old-fashioned one that the other girls admit that they find ugly, though Penny assures Amy she can make her own decisions about her wedding. Sheldon, however, comes home and sees Amy in the dress and loves how she looks.
Johnny Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter:[42] An experimental physicist with an IQ of 173, who received his PhD when he was 24 years old. Leonard is a nerd who loves video games, comic books, and Dungeons & Dragons. Leonard is the straight man of the series, in which he shares an apartment in Pasadena, CA, with Sheldon. Leonard is smitten with his new neighbor Penny when they first meet, and they eventually marry.
Howard dresses as Sheldon for Halloween at work, hurting Sheldon's feelings. When Howard does not apologize, Amy and Sheldon dress as Bernadette and Howard at Penny and Leonard's party, angering Bernadette. Sheldon and Bernadette later bond over their painful childhood memories. Leonard is upset that Penny does not seem to remember that their first kiss was on Halloween. Penny later admits she does remember, but does not like to think of their first kiss as an unromantic drunken hookup. She likes to imagine their first kiss was one they shared on Leonard's birthday, which pleases him.
In November 2016, it was reported that CBS was in negotiations to create a spin-off of The Big Bang Theory centered on Sheldon as a young boy. The prequel series, described as "a Malcolm in the Middle-esque single-camera family comedy" would be executive-produced by Lorre and Molaro, with Prady expected to be involved in some capacity, and intended to air in the 2017–18 season alongside The Big Bang Theory.[211][212] The initial idea for the series came from Parsons, who passed it along to The Big Bang Theory producers.[213] In early March 2017, Iain Armitage was cast as the younger Sheldon, as well as Zoe Perry as his mother, Mary Cooper. Perry is the real-life daughter of Laurie Metcalf, who portrays Mary Cooper on The Big Bang Theory.[213]
The Big Bang Theory started off slowly in the ratings, failing to make the top 50 in its first season (ranking 68th), and ranking 40th in its second season. When the third season premiered on September 21, 2009, however, The Big Bang Theory ranked as CBS's highest-rated show of that evening in the adults 18–49 demographic (4.6/10) along with a then-series-high 12.83 million viewers.[94] After the first three seasons aired at different times on Monday nights, CBS moved the show to Thursdays at 8:00 ET for the 2010–2011 schedule, to be in direct competition with NBC's Comedy Block and Fox's American Idol (then the longest reigning leading primetime show on U.S. television from 2004 to 2011).[95] During its fourth season, it became television's highest rated comedy, just barely beating out eight-year champ Two and a Half Men. However, in the age 18–49 demographic (the show's target age range), it was the second highest rated comedy, behind ABC's Modern Family. The fifth season opened with viewing figures of over 14 million.[96]
On March 16, 2014, a Lego Ideas project[206] portraying the living room scene in Lego style with the main cast as mini-figures reached 10,000 supporters on the platform, which qualified it to be considered as an official set by the Lego Ideas review board. On November 7, 2014, Lego Ideas approved the design and began refining it. The set was released in August 2015, with an exclusive pre-sale taking place at the San Diego Comic-Con International.[citation needed]
After the birth of Michael, Howard and Bernadette are unsure who should stay home with the kids. Howard decides to look after the kids one day to show he has what it takes to care for them. While Bernadette falls back in love with her job on a trip to the office, Howard is quickly tired and realizes he might not have what it takes to be a stay-at-home dad. Howard and Bernadette realize neither them is ready to give up their job.
It's no secret that the cast of The Big Bang Theory gets paid out for every episode. But, who is the richest Big Bang Theory cast member? As it turns out, the show's lead, Jim Parsons is the highest earning actor on the hit television series. The actor, who plays Sheldon Cooper, is worth $70 million and brings in $900,000 per episode on The Big Bang Theory (he and some of his castmates made $1 million per episode, but took a $100,000 pay cut so some of the other supporting roles could get a raise).
On October 9, 2007, a full-length (1 minute and 45 seconds) version of the song was released commercially.[27] Although some unofficial pages identify the song title as "History of Everything,"[28] the cover art for the single identifies the title as "Big Bang Theory Theme." A music video also was released via special features on The Complete Fourth Season DVD and Blu-ray set.[29][30] The theme was included on the band's greatest hits album, Hits from Yesterday & the Day Before, released on September 27, 2011.[31] In September 2015, TMZ uncovered court documents showing that Steven Page sued former bandmate Robertson over the song, alleging that he was promised 20% of the proceeds, but that Robertson has kept that money entirely for himself.[32]

Kunal Nayyar as Rajesh Koothrappali:[46] A particle astrophysicist originally from New Delhi, India. Raj is initially unable to talk to women unless he drinks alcohol. Raj also has very feminine tastes and often takes on a stereotypical female role in his friendship with Howard as well as in the group of four men. Raj later dates Lucy (Kate Micucci), who also suffers from social anxiety, but it eventually ends; he later speaks to Penny without alcohol and thus overcomes his selective mutism. He begins dating Emily and their relationship later becomes exclusive. Raj also has a Yorkshire Terrier named Cinnamon.
Kunal Nayyar has the flick Think Like a Dog in post-production and the upcoming Trolls World Tour in pre-production. Nayyar provides the voice of Guy Diamond in the movie series. Aside from that, however, the former Raj Koothrappali is looking forward to some much needed family time. "I'm going to go to India, spend more time with my parents," he told Parade in late April. "I left my country when I was 18, so it's important for me to go home and spend time with mom and dad, so that's the main focus right now.

Findings may lead to 'plant probiotic' and new antibiotics
The bacterium that produces the antibiotic phazolicin results in a more robust plant.
Credit and Larger Version
Scientists have discovered an antibiotic produced by a soil bacterium in a Mexican tropical forest that may help lead to a "plant probiotic."
Probiotics, which provide health benefits to humans, can also keep plants robust. The new antibiotic, known as phazolicin, prevents harmful bacteria from entering root systems of bean plants, according to a study in the journal Nature Communications.
"We hope to show the bacterium can be used as a 'plant probiotic' because phazolicin will prevent other, potentially harmful bacteria from growing in the root systems of agriculturally important plants," said senior author Konstantin Severinov of Rutgers University. "Antibiotic resistance is a huge problem in both medicine and agriculture, and continuing searches for new antibiotics are very important as they may provide leads for future anti-bacterial agents."
The bacterium producing phazolicin is an unidentified species of Rhizobium. It was found in a tropical forest in Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, in soil and roots of wild beans called Phaseolus vulgaris, hence the antibiotic's name: phazolicin.
Like other Rhizobia, the phazolicin-producing microbe forms nodules on bean plant roots and provides the plants with nitrogen. Unlike other Rhizobia, it also defends plants from harmful bacteria sensitive to phazolicin. The phenomenon could be exploited in beans, peas, chickpeas, lentils, peanuts, soybeans and other legumes.
Using computer and bioinformatic analyses, the scientists predicted the existence of phazolicin, then confirmed its existence in the lab. They revealed the atomic structure of the antibiotic and showed that it's bound to and targets the ribosome, a protein production factory in bacterial cells. The scientists found they can modify and control sensitivity, or susceptibility, to the antibiotic by introducing mutations in ribosomes.
The research was funded by NSF's Directorate for Education and Human Resources, through a Graduate Research Fellowship award to Zoe Watson of the University of California Berkeley.

Q: iScroll 4 not working with form  element iPhone Safari and Android browser I'm using this HTML code:
<form action="#" method="post">
    <fieldset>
        <label class="desc" id="title10" for="Field10">
            How many children do you have?
        </label>
        <select id="Field10" name="Field10" class="field select large" tabindex="5">
            <option value="0" selected="selected">0 </option>
            <option value="1">1 </option>
            <option value="2">2 </option>
            <option value="3">3 </option>
            <option value="4">4 </option>
            <option value="5">5 </option>
            <option value="6">6 </option>
            <option value="7">7 </option>
            <option value="8">8 </option>
            <option value="9">9 </option>
        </select>
        <input type="submit" value="Send message" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

<select> is not working on iPhone and Android. When I tap on the selectbox nothing happens.
I'm using iScroll 4 which is creating the problem.
<script type="application/javascript" src="iscroll-lite.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var myScroll;
    function loaded() {
        myScroll = new iScroll('wrapper');
    }
    document.addEventListener('touchmove', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); }, false);
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', loaded, false);
</script>

I think this is a solution but I don't know how to implement it.

A: Finally fixed this for Android. Ended up modifying a couple of lines in iscroll.js
Here's how we initialize iScroll.
// code from https://github.com/cubiq/iscroll/blob/master/examples/form-fields/index.html
// don't preventDefault for form controls
_menuScroll = new iScroll('menu_wrapper',{
    useTransform: false,
    onBeforeScrollStart: function (e) {
        var target = e.target;
        while (target.nodeType != 1) target = target.parentNode;

        if (target.tagName != 'SELECT' && target.tagName != 'INPUT' && target.tagName != 'TEXTAREA')
        e.preventDefault();
    }
});

The onBeforeScrollStart is what allows the controls' default behaviors to take place. Android browser seems to have problem with useTransform, so turn to false.
Finally, some additional iscroll code needed to be excluded when useTransform is false:
// iscroll.js v4.1.9
// line 216:
if (that.options.useTransform) bar.style.cssText += ';pointer-events:none;-' + vendor + '-transition-property:-' + vendor + '-transform;-' + vendor + '-transition-timing-function:cubic-bezier(0.33,0.66,0.66,1);-' + vendor + '-transition-duration:0;-' + vendor + '-transform:' + trnOpen + '0,0' + trnClose;

// line 295:
if (that.options.useTransform) that[dir + 'ScrollbarIndicator'].style[vendor + 'Transform'] = trnOpen + (dir == 'h' ? pos + 'px,0' : '0,' + pos + 'px') + trnClose;

Tried several other methods before realizing that it had to do with the css that iscroll adds.

A: The problem is that iScroll cancels the default behavior of your select tag (Not a very good implementation if you ask me).
This occurs in the _start() function on line 195:
e.preventDefault();

If you comment that out you'll notice the select tag works again.
But commenting it out means you've hacked the library which might break other desirable iScroll functionality. So here's a better workaround:
var selectField = document.getElementById('Field10');
selectField.addEventListener('touchstart' /*'mousedown'*/, function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
}, false);

That code will allow the default behavior to occur, without propagating the event to iScroll where it screws everything up.
Since your JS is not inside any jQuery-like onReady() event, you'll have to make sure to you put this code AFTER the HTML where your select elements are defined.
Note that for mobile devices the event is touchstart, but for your PC browser it will be mousedown

A: I Know am late,but it might be helpful for some one,
write the following code in pageshow event,but be sure that div ids not same.
it is because, iscroller prevents the default behaviors of elements
 $('#yourpage').bind('pageshow',function (event, ui) {

       var myScroll;

         if (this.id in myScroll) {
         myScroll[this.id].refresh();

         }else{

          myScroll[this.id] = new iScroll('wrapper', { //wrapper is div id
                   checkDOMChanges: true,
                   onBeforeScrollStart: function (e) {
                         var target = e.target;
                         while (target.nodeType != 1)
                         target =target.parentNode;

                   if (target.tagName != 'SELECT' && target.tagName != 'INPUT' && target.tagName != 'TEXTAREA'){  e.preventDefault();  }
                                 }
                               });
                            }
     document.addEventListener('touchmove', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); }, false);

     });

A: Here is the solution
/* on page add this after all scripts */
    <script type="text/javascript">
            var myScroll;
            function loaded() {
                myScroll = new iScroll('wrapper');
            }
            document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){ setTimeout(loaded,500);}, false);
    </script>

/* attach a script for fix */
        $(document).ready(function(){
            var my_select = document.getElementsByTagName('select');
            for (var i=0; i<my_select.length; i++) {
                my_select[i].addEventListener('touchstart' /*'mousedown'*/, function(e) {
                    myScroll.destroy();
                    setTimeout(function(){myScroll = new iScroll('wrapper');},500);
                }, false);
            }

    /*if you have input problems */

            var input = document.getElementById('input');

            if (input) {
                input.addEventListener('touchstart' /*'mousedown'*/, function(e) {
                    e.stopPropagation();
                }, false);
            }
        });

A: another code example for solution. and thanks for previous comments!
Using Jquery!
After:
$(document).ready(function() {
    document.addEventListener('touchmove', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); }, false);

    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', setTimeout(function () { loaded(); }, 200), false);
});

in loaded function
function loaded() {
    var allSelects = $('select');
    allSelects.each(function(index, item) {
                        item.addEventListener('touchstart' /*'mousedown'*/, function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); }, false);
                    });
}

A: Replacing line, onBeforeScrollStart: function (e) { e.preventDefault(); },
By
onBeforeScrollStart: function (e) {
    var nodeType = e.explicitOriginalTarget ? e.explicitOriginalTarget.nodeName.toLowerCase():(e.target ? e.target.nodeName.toLowerCase():'');

    if(nodeType !='select' && nodeType !='option' && nodeType !='input' && nodeType!='textarea') {
         e.preventDefault();
    }
},

In iScroll.js Works

A: Start with this code. This solution worked for me:
<script type="text/javascript">

var myScroll;
function iScrollLoad() {
    myScroll = new iScroll('wrapper');
    enableFormsInIscroll();
}

function enableFormsInIscroll(){
  [].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('input, select, button, textarea')).forEach(function(el){
    el.addEventListener(('ontouchstart' in window)?'touchstart':'mousedown', function(e){
      e.stopPropagation();
    })
  })
}

document.addEventListener('touchmove', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); }, false);
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () { setTimeout(iScrollLoad, 200); }, false);

</script>

A: I had the same issue on the iScroll 4.1.9 on android, I just replaced the line 95 (on my version) :
onBeforeScrollStart: function (e) { e.preventDefault(); },

by :
onBeforeScrollStart: function (e) {var nodeType = e.explicitOriginalTarget ? e.explicitOriginalTarget.nodeName.toLowerCase():(e.target ? e.target.nodeName.toLowerCase():''); if(nodeType !='select' && nodeType !='option' && nodeType !='input' && nodeType!='textarea') e.preventDefault(); },

that enable focus on input, select and textarea tags

A: I'm late but I leave you my solution.
If your are using jQuery you can try that.
$('input, textarea, button, a, select').off('touchstart mousedown').on('touchstart mousedown', function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
});

A:   // Setup myScroll
  myScroll = new IScroll('#wrapper', {
    scrollX: horizontalSwipe,
    scrollY: !horizontalSwipe,
    momentum: false,
    snap: document.querySelectorAll('#scroller .slide'),
    snapSpeed: 400,
    bounceEasing: 'back',
    keyBindings: true,
    click: true
  });

For me, I just need to add click: true on the last line...
Spent the whole day debugging and implementing all the suggested solutions to no avail...

A: he anyone.
i know's about all your answer's but i have new way to offer. without java-script or drop iscroll functions.
the big problems with all this solution is when you scroll on input's element you have no scroll on the page. when you make just one or two input's isn't really matter but when the page is a form you have big problem to scroll the page.
the solution i offering is to wrap the input in label tag or make the label tag with for pointer to the input. then make with absolute positioning and z-index the label above the input. when you touch on the label you focus the input.
and example please
HTML
<fieldset>
<label>
    <input type="text" />
</label>
</fieldset>

CSS
fieldset {position:relative;z-index:20;}
label {position:relative;z-index:initial;}
input {position:relative;z-index:-1;}

you can also in this way put the label side of the input and with position absolute of the input put that into the label area
is working in 100%, check it

A: There is a bug with Android when -webkit-transform:translate3d is applied to a container that has a select box or password box[1].  The boxed area to activate those elements move, and are not where you think they'd be.  Additionally, password boxes paint in a different location, so it appears that you have two input elements instead of one.
I work at AppMobi and we have developed a toolkit library that has fixes for these.  We've implemented custom select box widgets and a replacement for the password input field.  Check it out below.
https://github.com/imaffett/AppMobi.toolkit
[1] I think the author of the comment is talking about this bug https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50552

A: Here's a really easy fix that worked for me. I noticed in the Android browsers that on initial page load I could not click on a select box but I was able to click on a text input field that I was using for Search. Then I noticed that after I clicked on the text input field, it would recognize me clicking a select box. So all I did was add this to the javascript function I was using to load the Search page...
$('#search').focus();

So when the search page gets loaded, it automatically focuses on the text input field but does not pop up the keyboard, which is exactly what I wanted. Sorry my example is not publicly accessible, but hopefully this can still help somebody.

A: I'm a bit late to the game, but if anyone is still interested, I took @bastien's approach and tweaked it a bit to get it to work on Android. I'm using JQM with my implementation.
Basically what I did was:
function scrollMe(element) {

var contentID = $wrapper.get(0).id;
var scroller = elm.find('[data-iscroll="scroller"]').get(0);
if (scroller) {
    var iscroll = new iScroll(contentID, {
        hScroll        : false,
        vScroll        : true,
        hScrollbar     : false,
        vScrollbar     : true,
        fixedScrollbar : true,
        fadeScrollbar  : false,
        hideScrollbar  : false,
        bounce         : true,
        momentum       : true,
        lockDirection  : true,
        useTransition  : true,
        //the preceding options and their values do not have any to do with the fix
        //THE FIX:
        onBeforeScrollStart: function(e) {
            var nodeType = e.explicitOriginalTarget ? e.explicitOriginalTarget.nodeName.toLowerCase() : (e.target ? e.target.nodeName.toLowerCase():''); //get element node type
            if(nodeType !='select' && nodeType !='option' && nodeType !='input' && nodeType!='textarea') e.preventDefault(); //be have normally if clicked element is not a select, option, input, or textarea.
            else if (iscroll != null) {   //makes sure there is an instance to destory
                     iscroll.destroy();
                     iscroll = null;
            //when the user clicks on a form element, my previously instanced iscroll element is destroyed
            }
        },
        onScrollStart: function(e) {
            if (iscroll == null) {  //check to see if iscroll instance was previously destoryed
                var elm = $.mobile.activePage; //gets current active page
                var scrollIt = setTimeout( function(){ scrollMe(elm) }, 0 );
            } //recursively call function that re-instances iscroll element, as long as the user doesn't click on a form element
        }
    });
    elm.data("iscroll-plugin", iscroll);
}

}

Basically all you need to do is destroy your iScroll instance when a form element is selected by the user, but before they actually start scrolling (onBeforeScrollStart) and if the user clicks on anything else within the element with the custom attribute data-iscroll="scroller", they can scroll using iScroll as usual.
<div data-role="page" id="pageNameHere" data-iscroll="enable">

A: try this solution
 if (e.target.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "select" || e.target.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'input' || e.target.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'textarea')
            {
                return;
            }

A: What about, that works for me!:
$('input, select').on('touchstart', function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
});

A: Even if you've excluded form elements in onBeforeScrollStart(), there is another bug in android 2.2/2.3 browser/webview:
https://www.html5dev-software.intel.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1278
https://github.com/01org/appframework/issues/104
You can't input chinese characters in input elements in the div with "-webkit-transform" css style. The iscroll 4 applied the "-webkit-transform" with the scroller div.
The solution is to keep form fields in a absolute div out of the scroller.

A: Android browser bug is result of very old version of WebKit inside Android, even inside Android 4.3. The root cause of bug - wrong processing of the click event that iScroll sends back to the browser (removing preventDefault just stops sending this click event)
The Android Chrome browser is free from this bug because it has upgraded WebKit library inside.
Waiting for Android WebKit upgrade from Google.

A: Check this. This fixed my issue
https://github.com/cubiq/iscroll/issues/576
In option I have selected
click:false, preventDefaultException:{tagName:/.*/}

The proposed vehicle scrap policy for mandatory disposal of more than 20 years old commercial vehicles will go for the Cabinet nod in a month and once brought in, will result in the additional flow of Rs 10,000 crore into government coffers, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said.
The much-awaited policy was given 'in-principle' approval at a high-level inter-ministerial meeting at the PMO to pave way for scrapping of 20 years old commercial vehicles (CVs) from 1 April, 2020.
After the Cabinet nod, this will be placed before the GST Council as the concessions that "we are liable to give to buyers of new vehicles in lieu of the scrapped ones" is linked to state governments and the Government.


As I type I am sitting on the open deck enjoying a gorgeous day at sea. The weather today has been absolutely perfect and many passengers are taking the opportunity to relax in the fresh air, read, chat or just watch the world go by. Its days like today that money can't buy!
Since my last check-in with you all we have visited St Petersburg in Russia and Tallinn in Estonia and both visits were certainly something to talk about.
We spent two days in St Petersburg but to be honest even that would never be enough to take in everything this wonderful city has to offer. On day one I had an excursion to Peterhof Palace and Park and what a palace it was! The weather was perfect, barely a cloud in the sky, and the tourists were flocking to this visually impressive slice of luxury, just outside the main city. Photography inside the palace is prohibited so sadly I can't share any interior images with you, but let me tell you that it was incredible! I had been torn between Peterhof and Catherine's Palace but I am glad I went with the first option. Every single room had a different theme, we went from the rather impressive Ballroom and Audience Hall, which were both clad in gold leaf and completely over the top with decoration, to a Chinese themed room, which looked like it had literally been plucked from the Orient and dropped in the palace completely untouched. The décor in every room was impressive as were the furnishings and even the little things like the Wedgewood dinner set. Of course the entire palace was incredible and I would highly recommend the visit, but it was the gardens that I really wanted to see and I was not disappointed by the beauty! The fountains are turned on at 11am so after our interior visit we were just in time for the fountain ceremony to begin. WOW! That's all I can say! It visually blew your mind, everything was superbly maintained, the grass was a perfect shade of green, the water crystal clear and the small flower gardens were beautiful colours. I don't think the gardens would have had quite the same appeal if the weather had been awful, but we were very lucky and the sun was hitting the Scoop Basin and Samson fountain in a way that lit up everything around them. It was a place that I could have happily explored all day, you would probably need at least half a day in reality just to walk around the gardens!
In the evening I embarked on a waterways tour, which again was very nice! It was a good way to appreciate the beauty and architecture without the hustle and bustle of other tourists that were probably trying to do the same thing. The architecture in St Petersburg is amazing! Every building makes your eyes light up, even the Cartier store was an attention grabber – well it was for me. We passed several notable sights including the Spilled Blood Church and the Hermitage. It was just a peaceful way to explore and a chance to see the city from the waterways, which in reality is exactly what the city was built for – to be viewed from the water. Again we had ideal weather, not a drop of rain fell from the sky, that was until we boarded the coach and then the heavens opened. I'd had a wonderful day in Russia and I was looking forward to the offerings of day 2.
Day 2 started with an easy morning, my tour didn't depart until 1:30pm so I took advantage of the time to relax and get ready for my excursion without any rush. We left the port on time and made our way into the city and towards the Church of Spilled Blood. I have always wanted to visit St Petersburg and in particular the Spilled Blood Church so I was incredibly exited to get there. Again this is another architectural masterpiece, it really is beautiful to look at. I was mesmerised by the outer beauty, but once inside it was like being in another world. I didn't know where to look, every single inch of the interior is beautifully painted and depicts various religious scenes. I can't stress enough just how amazing it was and I say again, if you are visiting St Petersburg then PLEASE go and see the church, but don't just look at the outside, you MUST go in. Inside the Church you will also find the spot where Emperor Alexander II was mortally wounded, they say his blood is still on some of the stones! I took hundreds of interior shots, I couldn't stop myself from clicking the button on the camera. I wanted to capture every piece of art and I think I succeeded! I could never verbally do the Church justice so I hope you enjoy the images below and you can see for yourself just how impressive it is. They certainly don't make them like that anymore!
My Spilled Blood Church excursion brought an end to our time in Russia and although we still have one port left, I have to say that it is now my second favourite port of the cruise, the first now being Tallinn, which we explored yesterday.
I opened my curtains and was greeted by glorious sunshine, there was a rather dense sea fret lingering over the port of Tallinn but by noon it had burned away and we had clear blue skies all day – perfect for exploring! I left the ship, grabbed a map and off I went into the Old Town. Like Russia, Estonia was a place I had always wanted to visit and I was terrified of being disappointed, I can now say I wish we had spent an overnight there as I completely fell in love with the Old Town and I felt very comfortable exploring on my own. Our call also coincided with a song and dance festival, which is held in the city every five years, so the streets were alive with thousands of people. Apparently there are over 40,000 people that take part in the festival, so you can imagine what the atmosphere was like! Mix that number of people with the amount of locals that were gathering for the festivities and tourists that were rolling in, and you had a rather busy Old Town! I walked all over the place! I explored every area bar one and felt quite accomplished with my little adventure. I took in the Town Wall and its defence towers, St Olav's Church, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Holy Spirit Church and so much more. They say Tallinn is like something out of a fairy tale and having now visited myself I can see exactly what they mean. Everything seems to branch off from the main town square, which makes it an incredibly easy place to navigate, but I would suggest you take a map as many of the narrow streets look very similar and it you could be easily confused if you don't have clear directions. Even the streets that are less visited are impressive and have character, it's a destination that you can immerse yourself in completely even if just sitting in a café watching the world go by. You don't need a massive amount of time to explore here, but I would have loved to have experienced the Old Town at night.
I will check-in with you all again soon!
Gorgeous pictures Danielle. We just got back from our cruise which started in Copenhagen. Lovely city. Hope you get to see the castles, no, Tivoli gardens, no, the canals. Gaack! Too much neat stuff there.
I have been on a Baltic Capitals Cruise previously and enjoyed visiting the ports especially St Petersburg. Peterhof Palace was amazing, the fountains were outstanding. Thanks for sharing your port review.

The Decemberists at The Albert Hall, Manchester, UK – 12th November 2018
Against an impressive backdrop of a skull with swirling eyes surrounded by serpents the band enter to the accompaniment 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'. For the stage play Greig intended the tune as a dream like fantasy to mark Peer Gynt's entrance into the troll king's hall. It is an appropriate choice for The Decemberists as they embark on an evening of whimsy, fantasy and irony.

MC50 + Michael Monroe at Albert Hall, Manchester, UK – 11th November 2018
MC5 were a massively influential band predating and inspiring the New York punk scene with their blues infused garage rock.

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks + Girl Ray + Spinning Coin at Albert Hall, Manchester, UK – 17th October 2018
Built in 1908 and Grade II listed, Manchester's Albert Hall is another of those cherished Edwardian community buildings that are enjoying new life as a live music venue. The horseshoe gallery of the former Methodist chapel looks out towards a magnificent organ directly below which stand Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks.

Ben Howard + The Dead Tongues at Albert Hall, Manchester, UK – 29th June 2018
Having sold out almost immediately, Ben Howard played to a packed-to-the-rafters Manchester Albert Hall on a hot and sweaty Friday evening on the 29th June. Being the first set of announced dates in support of his highly anticipated new album Noonday Dream, it was the first chance for fans to hear the tracks from the often elusive Totnes born songwriter.

Kiefer Sutherland + Rick Brantley at Albert Hall, Manchester, UK – 28th June 2018
This is only my second time attending the Manchester Albert Hall but it certainly strikes me as a beautiful setting for tonight, the light from streaming through the windows which only amplifies the heat that is building in the venue. The crowd is full of mainly middle aged fans who have no doubt followed the career of this icon.

DJ Shadow at the Albert Hall, Manchester, UK – 5th October 2017
It is hard to believe that it has been 21 years since the release of DJ Shadow's ground-breaking and highly influential experimental hip-hop album Endtroducing. Yet DJ Shadow has not lost an inch of his creative drive, pushing the envelope further yet again with his latest album The Mountain Will Fall. It was on this school night that Shadow was able to play his full set, having previously played cut-down sets at festivals, and hypnotise the packed Albert Hall with a perfectly melange of in-your-face turntablism and spectacular visual displays.

Sheryl Crow + C. Macleod at Albert Hall, Manchester, UK – 20th May 2017
Sheryl Crow brought her 'Be Myself' tour to Manchester's Albert Halls and treated everybody in this wonderful venue to a career spanning 2 hour show that had absolutely everything. To say I was looking forward to this show might be an understatement – well... definitely an understatement. I once paid an extortionate amount of money for Rolling Stones tickets purely because Sheryl was supporting them and I've traveled the length of the country to see her in the past....

Understanding how God writes beautiful stories and how that includes mine too.
Let's Talk About Self-Control
November 8, 2018 kathy brower
I began dating my husband casually at the end of my Senior year in high school. I was about to graduate. The next two steps were simple to me, work all summer, then, go to college in the fall. I didn't want strings. So we used the word "dating", but all it really meant was that we would hang out in all the same ways we had been and also have an automatic date to any school events without having to deal with all the awkward, marginal, pursuers. We didn't live near each other, so the summer break-up would also be casual. It would be over before our spiderweb of an attachment could ever turn into a cable-hold. This was what I wanted. He was sweet enough to let it be.
Summer came and we both got jobs, turning in time sheets with a full forty hours in each week. He cinched on a tool belt and climbed sand dunes and rooftops working construction for his dad. I punched in at a chain store that sold house-goods and "as-seen-on-tv" products. Ben sweat and tanned in the hot sun, while, 2 states away I stayed cool in the air-conditioning. We kept in touch. We even managed to drive back and forth and see each other some weekends. They were short visits, because, being in retail, I was required to work every Sunday. And while we thoroughly enjoyed each other's company, we tried to remain a little detached. Or, I should say, I did. His is a different story.
Fall flew in and school started. We were back in the same state, but not in the same school. Again, we kept in touch. Wrote letters and talked hours on phones with cords that wrapped clear around the house. However, I was already looking around. College was new and exciting to me. It wasn't but a few months in when I called and told him it was time to see what other options were out there, for both of us. You can say I was cold-hearted, but, believe me, I explained everything in complete practical sense to my parents. It was logical for the stage of life we were both in. We needed to live in the moment. Enjoy what surrounded us. And yes, blushingly, I will admit to having a crush on a guy who was such a gentleman, that he would never have asked me out if I was still attached, even in the slightest way, to someone else.
OK. There it is. Did you catch it? That last fruit of the Spirit. Self-control.
Two guys. Both with clear consciences. And, might I add, two Mama's who had brought up two solid guys. The first whose feelings had grown deeper than I was aware of, let me go. Let me fly. The second, who was a couple years older, could have tried to push the issue the moment he thought I might be interested, but didn't until I WAS free to fly. And I could have played the whole thing back and forth. Two guys. Two different schools.
But I didn't. Self-control brings joy, and that situation, which I wanted to be fun and casual, would not have been joyful if any one of us had lost self-control. This is not to say that feelings weren't a bit jumbled and wonky. This is simply to give an example of what Alfred, Lord Tennyson said, "The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions."
The apostle Paul, when writing to the growing churches HAD to discuss passion in an open way. It was a way of life, this public pursuit of massive sensual appetites. It was impossibly non-Biblical. But the generational pattern had never been stopped, and so it appeared all too commonplace. But it wasn't God-born, and Paul had to address the uncomfortable. And I, too, will boldly go on record to say that the venues may be different today, but the appetites are still excessively high. We live in a society that has taken relationships to a platitude of indulgence and, I don't know about you, but most of it has buried many an individual soul in the process.
Charlotte Mason, who was a British educator at the turn of the 20th century, taught diligent lessons on habits and discipline. She believed so much of what we learn, our behavior, begins right away at a very young age, and that it is the pursuit of the parents to turn the wheel of the potter and help kids to be shaped and formed with a better understanding of the image of God. She says, "Every habit has its beginning. The beginning is the idea which comes with a stir and takes possession of us". It saddens me that we live in a world that has let selfish passions form into perpetual habits. These habits have turned into intoxicating activities that seem almost justifiably normal, but in reality they are a temporal feasting for thieves.
But here's where the arrow can be turned. Where the real joy gets handed back to us as a gift. The truth lies in this, if we are believers in Christ, who took the evil war-lord and beat him at his personal favorite, death, then we are not prisoners of a maniacal, beatnik society. We are lights encased in a glorious hurricane, protected by nails pierced only once through the flesh of a risen, redeeming Savior. We are a new creature, a new creation, put on display so that the world can see the generous love and forgiveness that God holds sacred to those who shed their maverick passions.
Self-control is a gift. The last fruit listed in Galatians 5:22 & 23. The lack of self-control, or temperance as some versions use, has been a problem throughout time. It bulges out of our news feeds at a dismal pace. The God of the universe, who created us to be sexual beings, also set up boundaries, because He knew, if we stepped outside those guidelines, the crumbling of the human courage would be the breaking of many hearts. So the Holy Spirit comes like a whisper and taps out 'self-control' next to faithfulness and gentleness. And we find it written in 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."
I can honestly say I'm grateful for the self-control of those two guys during my college years. The one I had a crush on, well, we were two introverts who quickly ran out of things to talk about. And Ben? The guy who let me hold him at arms length? He's still with me. Twenty some years later. We're still holding promises for both the present world and the life that is to come.
A perpetual student,

Ruling Opens Door for Expanded Sports Betting
The Supreme Court recently broke a long-time ban on sports betting, allowing individual states to pass legislation allowing sports books to open.
Amy Sechrist, Compass Mark's certified prevention specialist, said this is an important issue for Compass Mark because problem gambling and substance abuse are so often intertwined.
"About 4 percent of adults and 6 percent of kids are addicted to gambling," Sechrist said. "So that's one or two kids in every 30-kid classroom."
She also said it's rare for an individual experiencing addiction to only use one substance or only have one compulsive behavior. Often, there are people who have never gambled in their life, but when trying to recover from the use of another substance or compulsion, find themselves drawn to gambling to fill a void.
"And so, with sports betting, it's already so easy to do, and now it's going to be even easier to do," Sechrist said. "Increased access equals increased use, and whenever access is ever increased, we need to increase funding for prevention and treatment."
Sechrist said with the recent ruling, this isn't a question of the morality of gambling. "It's really about whether it's ethical to let so many people come to harm," Sechrist said. "That's the ethical part."

Last week I went along to see James at Shottle Hall in Derbyshire, to have a look round the venue and see what they had to offer my Boho Brides.
On first appearances I was very impressed with the building, it was of a good size with very well looked after grounds, but not to big that it became impersonal!
Once inside I liked it even more. The house built in 1861 was of a very high standard, it was light, bright and had obviously had a referb quite recently. Some times old Victorian buildings can look lovely on the outside but when you get inside you can be let down by the tired decor. Shootle hall I'm happy to say is nothing like this, it is beautiful inside and out.
Set in the gentle landscape on the edge of the Peak District National Park and forming part of the famous and exquisite Chatsworth House Estate, Shottle Hall is a lovely English country house offering a stylish blend of traditional elegance in a contemporary setting.
Their are a selction of rooms that are licnesed for Civil marriage sand Partnerships, as well as a Semi permanent Marquee to hold bigger functions and larger scale weddings.
On most occasions the Wedding will be held in the Lounge, which holds 80 people, with welcome drinks in the Library if the weather doesn't permit drinks outside in the garden. The reception then takes place in the the Orangery restaurant which can accommodate up to 90 guests for dinner and up to 150 guests for a buffet/reception.
The Restaurant is modern in appearance, with minimal fuss which gives each couple more choice on their own decoration ideas.
What I loved was the twinkle ceiling with star drop effect lighting, and the black and white dance floor. Also the digital white grand piano that spookely plays itself!! Great if you want to plug in your own iPod for the wedding breakfast!
If you have a bigger wedding party then the Marquee is perfect for you. The Marquee while benefiting from stunning views over the Ecclesbourne valley also has its own self contained bar and lounge areas which can seat up to 250 guests.
The marquee is capable of being extended to cater for up to 500 for larger occasions, glamorous dinners, buffets and events.
Along with the great mixture of rooms and reception options, Shottle Hall also has 8 individually decorated bedrooms, so there is something to suite everyone taste. They all have their own character and en-suite bathrooms or shower rooms, flat screen televisions, free broadband internet connection.
The Bridal Suit has fantastic views over the Ecclesbourne valley, the Shottle Hall bridal suite is a large, sumptuous double room with antique furniture and a traditional four poster bed.
A generous bathroom featuring a large double ended roll top bath and separate shower ensure your time here will be a memorable one.
I really Like Shottle Hall. James and his team take a very hands on approach to the wedding co-ordination, making sure that the same person sees you throughout your plans. The hall also offers complete exclusivity as all 8 rooms are included in the price of the venue hire, so strangers gate crashing the reception!!
James also has some Special offers on bookings taken for Low season weddings, in January, February and March 2010.
They are also taking bookings for Valentines day.
Watch out as well for Shottle Hall's 'Bespoke Wedding Venues' which will be launching in the next few months. A new service offered to brides and grooms looking for venues with a difference…….watch this space for details Boho will be first with the information.
Great review. I dream of having my wedding in a place like this. It looks amazing. I am so jealous of anyone who can have such a ceremony.
A great review for a lovely venue.
We recently performed in the Shottle Hall marquee and feel in love with the place as soon as we walked in.

How digital technology affects cognitive processes and human interaction is a controversial topic. Both positive and negative effects have been the subject of research. On the positive side, some argue digital technology can enhance cognitive functioning. For example, video gaming can improve perception, mental rotation skills, visual memory, attention, task-switching, multi-tasking and decision-making. On the negative side, some contend that digital technology can lead to distraction, reduced attention spans, a sense of social isolation, scattered thinking, and a decline in the ability to think analytically.
This article from Psychology Today raises many of these issues and in particular, identifies some insights from neuroscience.

A Konrad Mizzi candidature is not what Labour needs
The Labour party is already spoilt for choice when it comes to electing Muscat's successor. It does not need the embarrassment of a Konrad Mizzi candidature
6 March 2019, 7:00am
The very fact that Konrad Mizzi is even considering contesting for the PL leadership after the fall-out from the Panama Papers, is proof enough that the minister might be incapable of understanding the very basic requirements of a potential prime minister.
The post of Labour leader has since the party's foundation been occupied by people who – though controversial and at times divisive – presented themselves to delegates for election with their moral integrity intact.
This counts for all past Labour leaders, namely William Savona, Paul Boffa, Dom Mintoff, Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici, Alfred Sant and Joseph Muscat.
The party was always careful in blocking the leadership ambitions of aspiring politicians who had a shady reputation: as was the case with Lorry Sant, a charismatic politician whose reputation for delivering was tarnished by serious allegations of impropriety. Delegates even preferred the not-so-charismatic but impeccably clean Alfred Sant over Lino Spiteri, whose reputation had been (somewhat unfairly) blemished by an anonymous letter on the eve of the 1992 leadership contest. One can safely say that none of the PL leaders had any baggage before being elected.
Muscat himself must have realised this when he retained Mizzi in his Cabinet, but made him resign from party deputy leader: a post to which he was elected during the early days of Panamagate. This is a clear indication that while Muscat trusted Mizzi to continue serving as minister he also wanted him to relinquish any role in the party's formal leadership. That said, Muscat is partly to blame for Mizzi's latest delusion. For having retained Mizzi as minister, he gave the impression that all was forgiven.
Moreover in Konrad Mizzi's case we are not dealing with mere allegations, as was the case with the Egrant allegation against Muscat's spouse, but with confirmed facts: namely that he had set up a company in Panama while serving as Minister.
Before even toying with the idea Labour delegates have to ask themselves: could they imagine any of the past party leaders bringing the same baggage to the leadership as Konrad Mizzi? The answer is surely a resounding no. Even if one were to exclude any bribes, money laundering or illegal acts (which have so far not been proven), the fact that Mizzi opened an offshore company in a secretive jurisdiction should disqualify him from the post: especially in view of the fact that the Labour Party belongs to an international socialist political family which is historically averse to offshore companies.
Electing Mizzi as party leader would immediately turn the Labour Party, which has already been damaged by Panamagate, into an international pariah. He would be a walking embarrassment for the Malta Labour Party.
One has to acknowledge that Mizzi is popular (recent MaltaToday surveys confirm that he is the third most popular minister, second if taking Labour voters alone) and is considered to be a capable hardworking Minister who has left his mark on the energy and tourism sectors.
Yet one cannot ignore that even in his role as minister his reputation has been blemished by the sale of public hospitals to offshore interests in a controversial deal which is still shrouded in mystery, and which is now disowned by the government itself.
Moreover, although under Mizzi energy prices have been reduced, the 17 Black revelations have cast a shadow on the relationship between the government and the business interests in this sector. Mizzi has also presided over controversial land grabs involving the DB group and Corinthia, which cast a light on Mizzi's extremely pro-business politics, raising further doubts on his suitability as Labour Party leader.
Sure enough one may argue that Mizzi represents one of the reasons behind Muscat's success, having delivered on energy bills and contributing to making Labour acceptable to business interests, taking the wind from the Nationalist Party's sails as Malta's traditionally pro-business party. Yet one may also argue that after a decade of Muscatonomics, the party needs a leader who is more in tune with the party's social democratic roots: something which Mizzi surely isn't.
After Panamagate, the party needs to restore its moral credentials. With Mizzi as leader, the very opposite will happen. Mizzi's retention as Cabinet minister weakened Muscat's hand in enforcing standards of political propriety with his ministers. With Mizzi as leader, Malta would risk a free fall in standards of good governance.
So news of Mizzi's possible candidature inevitably raises the question: is he doing this for his own personal interest and survival? By presenting himself as candidate Mizzi raises suspicions that he would be doing so to condition the choices of a future labour leader. If he gets a decent amount of support, it will become difficult for a future leader to remove this albatross from around the party's neck.
One hopes that in this case, delegates are not so unwise as to elect him. But if he persists, he has to be told by party elders that he should not even think of putting his name to delegates and party members. The Labour party is already spoilt for choice when it comes to electing Muscat's successor. It does not need the embarrassment of a Konrad Mizzi candidature.

Royal Caribbean has canceled sailings amid the Omicron wave, and it's a signal the industry's troubles are far from over

Cruise companies are in rough waters again as COVID-19 cases continue to spike around the world.
Royal Caribbean Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line recently canceled several itineraries.
Most cruise ships operating in the US have reported COVID-19 outbreaks in recent weeks.
Major cruise lines have begun canceling sailings amid a growing number of COVID-19 cases, and it's a sign that the cruise industry may continue weathering rough waters amid spread of the Omicron variant.
On Wednesday, Norwegian Cruise Line canceled sailings aboard eight of its 17 ships, citing "ongoing travel restrictions." These cancellations span from early January through late April, and include itineraries aboard the Norwegian Pearl, which recently returned to its homeport early following a COVID-19 outbreak among crew, according to a CBS Miami report.
Norwegian's cancellations have followed a string of bad news for the cruise industry.
Royal Caribbean Cruises has also called off its January 6 Spectrum of the Seas sailing in Hong Kong, the cruise line told Insider in a statement on Thursday. This update comes after Hong Kong's health department detected nine guests aboard the vessel's previous voyage who may have been exposed to COVID-19.
As a result, the agency required all guests and crew aboard the ship to stay on the vessel for coronavirus testing. All crew must undergo another round of tests on January 8, therefore postponing the January 6 cruise. The initial nine guests tested negative, but Royal Caribbean has faced outbreaks aboard several of its other cruise ships.
And on Friday, the cruise line followed in Norwegian's steps and announced it will be pausing operations on four additional ships due to "ongoing COVID-related circumstances," Royal Caribbean said on its website. The Vision of the Seas, Serenade of the Seas, Jewel of the Seas, and Symphony on the Seas have been impacted by this pause, and will resume cruising between the end of January through April, depending on the ship.
Almost 250 cruises were set to sail in January, but this ongoing wave of COVID-19 cases could spur further cancellations, reminiscent of when the COVID-19 pandemic first began spreading across the US.
In recent weeks, the majority of cruise ships operating in the US have reported COVID-19 outbreaks, according to data from US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This rise in outbreaks has barred several cruise ships from docking at ports of calls, cut vacations short, and forced passengers to quarantine aboard ships.
Before the turn of the New Year, the CDC raised its cruise ship travel warning to the highest level, and advised all travelers to avoid cruising regardless of vaccination status. The agency is now also investigating almost 100 vessels in the wake of increased cruise ship COVID-19 outbreaks.
"It is not possible for cruising to be a zero-risk activity," a CDC spokesperson told Insider in late December 2021, noting that COVID-19 can spread "easily" on cruises. In the last two weeks of 2021, cruise ships reported over 5,000 coronavirus cases, 31 times the cases reported in the first two weeks of December.

Launching Collabco Innovation, our Innovation Management Platform (IMS), has been the highlight of our year. We are also particularly proud to have found a pricing model which aligns with our ethics and builds value for our clients over time. We think it's innovative and creative and we'd like to share it with you.
Typical SAAS subscriptions charge you based on number of users or a shopping list of features. How much they charge is generally based on, 1. how much the company wants to reinvest into their software (or marketing); and 2. their position in the market (are they the leader setting the price, or do they need to compete?).
community membership – access to a community of peers who also have IMS platforms. Plus the knowledge base – a collection of techniques, methods and approaches to innovation and facilitation.
Our charges reflect our commitment to reinvesting directly into your platform, and our general software roadmap is also open to collaboration.
The standard package is priced competitively, providing great value for those with 50+ users and a year-round innovation business process. Alternatively, we offer packages tailored to those who want some extra support, or keep things very simple. You can even go diy.
Making sure you know you are getting value for money is our priority. We want every interaction you have with us help you become more successful in your innovation program.
Why pay for a set of features, when you can customise your own…?
Organisations evolve, but software doesn't always:That flashy new software that got attention last year looks a little everyday by the end of year two. All the annoying little things that were easy to ignore early on start to make it feel like extra work now.
Most software assumes a single way of doing things: Because they have to serve a wide range of customers and purposes, most out-of-the-box solutions make a lot of assumptions. You'll have to force yourself into the shoe and it doesn't ever quite feel comfortable.
If these scenarios sound familiar, you've probably also been frustrated with wasting time and money on a tool that wasn't made to fit. Knowing custom solutions aren't affordable for everyone, we focused on a way to close the gap. We assume that change and improvement will be a natural part of an annual innovation process. So we provide development credits as part of the monthly cost. You don't get a subscription to a product which changes at the whims of the software company, but your own customised installation, to which you can add and change features at any time.
Why pay per user, when you can join a community…?
Our clients are often leaders and trailblazers who step into new territory. This means that they bring great new ideas and technologies to their organisations. But it also means that they encounter more hurdles and hard lessons than most. We have learnt in our work, that many people are experiencing the same sorts of problems in isolation. They are often unaware that they are not alone in either their new innovative practices, or in their struggles.
To overcome this, we're building the Community Hub. We'll bring together the best we can find of innovation and facilitation techniques, tips and advice. And more importantly, the opportunity to connect with peers directly, building a community of innovators who are ready to help each other solve tough problems. Our key partners, Department of Employment and DFAT's innovationXchange, are excited to see others succeed and are willing to lead, offering their learning and advice.
The Community Hub is the unique part of our software that your membership will earn you access to.
Success and failure that happens in a vacuum is definitely not innovative. In addition to sharing process experience, we want to enable members to broadcast exciting innovations that others might benefit from via the Community Hub. We're also building in the ability to run cross-platform ideas challenges so you can harness the brainpower of those outside of your organisation. Not only that, but the updates others make to the platform, and our general development plan will be completely transparent.
We believe that creativity and innovation is critical for a thriving public service. So much so that our entire platform is open source. Membership is also open to anyone who is contributing an equitable level of new development or knowledge to the system. However, we have ensured our pricing is competitive and is not a barrier to supported installation, with all its additional benefits. We look forward to seeing a connected and innovative public service, for everyone.
*Number of registered users are not limited. Where expectation of concurrent platform users are likely to be in the hundreds/thousands, additional server costs may be incurred (generally only likely with 15,000+ registered users).


Air-Swift Transport, Inc, a boutique airline owned by the Ayala Company, expands its routes in Palawan with the addition of direct flights inside the three main vacationer hubs on the island particularly: Puerto Princesa, Coron and El Nido. Palawan is legendary for being one of the vital lovely islands on the planet, and one of the vital fashionable vacationer spots within the Philippines.
Rolando V. Nuñez, Industrial Head of AirSwift, acknowledged in an interview that the just lately launched flights are serviced by the most recent ATR 72-600 plane that may accommodate greater than 70 passengers. This latest addition to the fleet of three ATR 42-600 is able to flying in a 2×2 all-economy configuration and presents ample leg room and small tray desk supposed for gentle snacks. The seat can solely be reclined minimally as it isn't actually crucial in a brief flight.
Passengers in Palawan can now take pleasure in quicker and extra handy travels with extra flights scheduled among the many three municipalities. As a substitute of a gruelling 5-7 hours of land transfers, there at the moment are day by day flights from Puerto Princesa to El Nido and vice versa and passengers can attain their vacation spot in 40 minutes. Flights to and from Busuanga (Coron) from both Puerto Princesa or El Nido at the moment are accessible however with restricted flight schedule whereas land transfers and ferries are nonetheless accessible for budget-travellers.
Air-Swift is the quickest rising boutique airline within the Philippines. They at the moment have four plane (three ATR 42-600 and 1 ATR 72-600). Quite a few flights are supplied from different main provinces like Aklan, Bohol, Davao and Batanes with connections to main cities like Manila, Cebu and Clark. The route Manila – El Nido is the most well-liked with 5 flights day by day and caters principally to company of El Nido Resorts. These non-public island resorts are owned by the identical company. Future enlargement plans embrace the opening of flights between Manila and Sicogon after the airport in Sicogon is completed.
The pretty new ATR 42-600 service the normal routes and are deemed excellent for slender and brief runways. As soon as a frontrunner in turboprop market, the ATR 42-600 can fly 48 passengers in a 2×2 configuration just like the ATR 72-600.
Because the market curiosity in Palawan continues to develop, the airline commits to buy one plane annually for the following three years to handle the demand for quicker connections among the many three most important vacationer hubs in Palawan. Journey companies have already began to note the advantages of higher connections on the world's Greatest Island and they also suggest this new service as a typical inclusion of their Palawan tour packages.

Amherst, Mass. - November 19, 2017 - After defeating Farmingdale State on Saturday night, the Springfield College women's basketball team returned to the hardwood on Sunday afternoon, as the Pride fell to nationally-ranked Amherst College, 69-36, in the championship game of the Amherst College Tip Off Tournament in LeFrak Gymnasium. For their efforts sophomore guard Emily Jacques (Auburn, Maine) and senior forward Heather King (Lebanon, N.H.) were named to the All-Tournament team.
The Pride, which is now 2-1 on the year, shot 13-for-51 (25.5%) over 40 minutes of play, while the Mammoths, which were ranked No. 3 in the d3hoops.com preseason national rankings, improve to 2-0 on the year while shooting 27-for-57 (47.4%). Last season, Amherst College won the NCAA Division III National Championship over NESCAC-rival Tufts University, 52-29.
Jacques led the Pride with a team-best nine points to go along with five boards, while King and sophomore forward Taylor Hall (Tolland, Conn.) finished with eight points, while Hall also pulled in five rebounds in the contest. Additionally, junior forward Molly Altholz (Briarcliff Manor, N.Y.) also hauled in five rebounds, while classmate Chelsea McAllister (Baltimore, Vt.) had a team-best four assists.
For Amherst, Madeline Eck (Rye, N.Y.) and Emma McCarthy (Shelton, Conn.) had 12 points apiece, while Hannah Hackley (Westford, Mass.) had a game-high six assists in 40 minutes of play.
Amherst jumped out to an early 10-2 lead on a lay-up from McCarthy with 6:39 to play in the stanza, before taking a 19-4 lead on a basket from Eck, a margin that Amherst would finish the first quarter holding. Entering the second quarter, King knocked down a jumper to make it 26-8, Mammoths, with 6:41 to play in the half, before Natalie Nardella (Syracuse, N.Y.) made it 33-12, Amherst, with 3:00 to play in the frame. After King made it a 19-point game on a jumper with 50 seconds remaining, Eck finished the half with a basket, sending the Mammoths into the locker room up 37-16.
Amherst's defense locked down in the third quarter, as the hosts only allowed the Pride eight points in the 10-minute period, opening up a 56-19 lead on another basket from Eck with 51 seconds to play in the third. From there, Jacques knocked down a three-pointer before Alex Goslin (South Windsor, Conn.) converted a pair of free-throws to end the stanza, making it 56-24, Mammoths, heading into the fourth.
From there, Hall dropped a free-throw to pull the Pride to within 28 midway through the fourth quarter, but the Mammoths were able to extend its lead to 33 on a pair of free throws form Nardella, a margin that Amherst would finish the game on, sealing the 69-36 win.
Next, Springfield College will return to Blake Arena for a 6:30 p.m. contest with Williams College on Tuesday, November 21.


Chan Yuen-ting, the first female coach to lead a men's professional soccer club to a top-flight title, hopes her success with Hong Kong's Eastern will inspire other women to follow their dreams.
The 28-year-old turned a childhood crush on former England captain David Beckham into a groundbreaking career that has earned her plaudits from around the world and a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
Chan is nicknamed "Beef Ball" in a play on her name and for the similarities of her personality to Chinese perceptions of the characteristics of the cow.
Among those characteristics are an appetite for hard work and determination, both of which Chan showed in spades as she shattered the glass ceiling for women coaches in football.
Remaining persistent is Chan's advice to other women looking to break into environments, in sport and elsewhere, where men still dominate.
"There might be many women who work in a male-dominated environment and are waiting for opportunities to rise or to break through," she told Reuters ahead of the club's Asian Champions League group match against Kawasaki Frontale this week.
"They might think, 'oh there are so few opportunities or it's super difficult'. But I keep telling them believe in it and it'll become reality.
"Even though you might be ready sometimes the opportunities aren't there, but at least when the time comes you'll be ready."
After gaining a masters degree in sports science, Chan got her start in soccer as a data analyst before moving into a coaching role and then joining Eastern, where she assumed the top job after her predecessor left for a club in mainland China.
Chan believes she was fortunate that she grew up in Hong Kong as she may not have had the same opportunities elsewhere in Asia.
"I'm really lucky to be born, to live and work in Hong Kong," she said.
"While I was growing up, and even now, I believe there has hardly been any discrimination against women. It's because of this, Hong Kong Football Association was able to give me a platform to develop my career.
"If I was in another Asian country, where women are not of the same social status as men, I would never be able to do what I can."
Leading Eastern to the Hong Kong Premier league title last year was an achievement in itself for a relatively modest club and meant a maiden campaign in the continent's top competition, the Asian Champions League.
The club's first very first group game enabled Chan to pit her coaching wits against Luiz Felipe Scolari, the Guangzhou Evergrande boss who led Brazil to their World Cup triumph of 2002.
While a 7-0 defeat starkly illustrated the huge step up in class Eastern were making, Scolari making time to come over after the match and give Chan some words of encouragement was an experience which still brought a big smile to her face.
"For me that moment was exciting. I mean aside from just competing against him, he's a former World Cup winner, I've watched him from a young age on TV," she recalled.
"So when I saw him in person, it was quite inspiring. And the things he said to me really sank in and I was very happy to be able to meet a coach of that standard."
Eastern's second Champions League match in front of a packed house at Hong Kong's Mongkok Stadium on Wednesday had a better outcome with an early penalty earning Chan's side a 1-1 draw and their first point in the competition.
"The (Champions League) is a competition of really high standard and we're quite lucky to be able to compete and for us, as a Hong Kong team, to be apart of it is quite groundbreaking," she said on the eve of the match.
"We all understand that the quality of football is a whole new level. For us, it's definitely a challenge."
While she has no solid plans to leave Hong Kong in the near future, Chan has expressed interest in taking her career overseas in the long-term and to then bring her knowledge back to Hong Kong would be ideal.
But for now, she is focusing on improving herself as a coach and continuing to build her relationship with her team.
"It's nerve-racking," she said. "There's definitely more nerves than excitement, because there's never been a female coach leading an all-male team."
