What do you get for your moolah?
Before you start reading, I would like to identify myself as the originator and chief-in-charge of this business. This way, you know who to blame if you don't think you're getting a good deal: My name is Paul Meyer, I'm a civil engineer by profession and you can contact me personally on 082 557 7500.
Most people have realised that more and more companies need to have a strong Internet presence to stay competitive. But by now you're tired of directories pestering you to list with them, whether it be in print, on the Internet, via cell phone SMS or whatever!
And who can blame you, it's all just so much hot air, isn't it? You're never going to find out how many people actually looked at your company's info, are you?
But den on de udder hand (sorry Naas!) you also need to tell people about your business, or hang around for a couple of years until word-of-mouth sends enough people through the doors - and maybe even go bankrupt in the process!
If you are still reading, you should know by now that you're not dealing with another directory. For that you have to go somewhere else.
Assist247 are pioneers of the Matrix Marketing concept, and sure we need to make a profit, but we'll only be happy to take your moolah if we really believe we're helping you!
From as little as R250 per month we will give you really valuable exposure.
We specialise in the Motor and Home Assistance industry, simply because we know the demands of that industry very well, as we have 15 years of experience providing information to Assistance Companies and Call Centres. In other words, apart from actively marketing your business information on the Internet for everyone to find, we will also actively market the information to one of the fastest growing industries in South Africa (and the world)!
We hate treating people like mushrooms (that means keeping you in the dark and feeding you BS, for those not familiar with the expression). So, not only will we publish the number of visits to the 30 most popular categories every month, but we will also allow you to log into your own records and see for yourself exactly who looked at your company details and when they did so! Unfortunately we can't give you the registered names of the viewers, but we can give you their IP addresses, which is like the ID number of their computer, and almost as good as a name they tell me.
All of our advertising spend goes to promoting your details with the Internet Search Engines (mainly Google), because we want to promote your business to the people out there looking for your services!
I ask you with tears in my muddy brown eyes – does anyone else come close?
R250 a month? If you can't manage that your doors are probably closed already!
So call us on 0861 24INFO now or complete the on-line Application Form and we'll call you, and if you're not happy about the service contact me personally and complain like hell - I hate that enough to really do something about it!


Saint Simeon's community is nestled among 50 acres in the beautiful Osage Hills of Tulsa, offering senior residences that provide a majestic and peaceful retreat for the mind, body and soul.
As a Natural Wildlife Habitat accredited by the National Wildlife Federation, Saint Simeon's is a safe place for beautiful creatures such as peacocks, koi, doves, and others, to raise their young and find food and shelter. Our residents enjoy watching these peaceful forms of wildlife roam throughout the courtyards. Residents also have the opportunity to tend to the grounds if they wish through our resident garden. Each year, our campus "green thumbs" yield a bountiful harvest of tomatoes, sunflowers, pumpkins, and more.
Residents of our senior community benefit from the many walking paths campus-wide. Our own Eckel Park, situated on campus, allows residents the opportunity to take a morning or evening walk while enjoying the hundreds of types of flora and fauna on campus.
In addition, the Saint Simeon's hosts a monthly Flora and Fauna Committee, in which interested residents, family members, and volunteers can learn more about the unique types of flowers and plants growing on our campus and elsewhere.
Saint Simeon's senior living community values its current and past residents, and families have an opportunity to pay tribute to their loved ones by sponsoring a tree, bench cluster, or statue. Naturally, Saint Simeon's beloved first "campus canine," Simone I, is memorialized through a chainsaw wood sculpture that depicts her alongside our current campus canine, Simone II. This is just one of the many unique sculptures individuals can enjoy during a leisurely stroll around campus.
Saint Simeon's offers a serene, country retreat that is still close to the fun of downtown Tulsa. We invite you to come tour our beautiful grounds and apartments!
Call (918) 425-3583 to schedule a tour.

DeKalb Co. man facing life sentence wants new hearing
By Stephen McLamb
Published: Dec. 16, 2013 at 10:16 PM CST|Updated: Jan. 13, 2014 at 10:16 PM CST
Shelton is one of two men facing life in prison for the death of a Geraldine man.
DEKALB COUNTY, AL (WAFF) - A man facing life without parole for a murder in DeKalb County wants a new sentencing hearing.
A recent US Supreme Court ruling says juveniles convicted of capital offenses can be given lighter sentences and are due a sentencing hearing, but prosecutors in the case of Richard Sharp Shelton argue it's too little, too late.
While not present in the courtroom Monday, attorneys for Shelton argued for a new sentencing hearing for him. Shelton was one of two men convicted in 2011 in the robbery and murder of Jerry Neal Burt at his Geraldine home.
The other man convicted, Billy Ray Justice, is serving two life sentences. Shelton was 17 at the time of the crime and was the shooter. Prosecutors said the Supreme Court ruling came the year after Shelton was sentenced and argued the law is not retroactive.
"I feel it's cruel and unusual punishment to give somebody a juvenile shot at a life sentence who is convicted now, and… not give that same chance to someone who happened to be convicted in 2011," said Shelton's attorney, Robert Ray.
The judge did not immediately rule and took the case under advisement.

Q: Overflow Exception Occured: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow I got the error "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow." when execute the following condition
long countryCode = Convert.ToInt64(dr["Country_Code"]);
                    double curValue = Convert.ToDouble(dr["Conversion_Rate"]);
                    string selectSql = " SELECT NVL ((ABS ( " + curValue + " - AVG (conversion_rate)) / AVG (conversion_rate)) * 100,0) AS rate_deviation" +
                                       " FROM " + DBObjects.TABLE_ODS_CURRENCY_CONVERSIONS + " WHERE country_code = " + countryCode;

DataTable dtDeviation = this.ServerCfgReader.DefaultDBProvider.DBDataAccess.GetSqlSelection(selectSql);

When i execute the condition in SQL, the above query got Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow exception occured..
Any suggestion to resolve this problem.

A: Convert.ToInt64.... use a double instead.
Also, when building SQL like that use string builder instead, its much more efficient...
double countryCode = Convert.ToDouble(dr["Country_Code"]);
double curValue = Convert.ToDouble(dr["Conversion_Rate"]);

StringBuilder selectSql = new StringBuilder();
selectSql.AppendFormat(" SELECT NVL ((ABS ( {0} - AVG (conversion_rate)) / AVG (conversion_rate)) * 100,0) AS rate_deviation ",curValue );
selectSql.AppendFormat(" FROM {0} ", DBObjects.TABLE_ODS_CURRENCY_CONVERSIONS);
selectSql.AppendFormat(" WHERE country_code = {0}",countryCode);

DataTable dtDeviation = this.ServerCfgReader.DefaultDBProvider.DBDataAccess.GetSqlSelection(selectSql.ToString());

failing that, read this: http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/89392-arithmetic-operation-resulted-in-an-overflow/
maybe your numbers are too large to handle as Doubles too???

Haven't been able to Edit my Post in the general forum of Utan for like a month now.
/me slaps Limited around with a wet noodle!
This was to avoid people in the appeals forum editing their responses out.
Off-topic reply to a 10+ year old thread. Bravo.
I'm really suspicious of all of these "new forum user" posts - there have been a slew of them recently - always from accounts with no previous posting history.
I don't see any advertising... but their posts are always irrelevant to the thread topic, and almost invariably tagged to the end of long-dead threads.

All of the photographs in this Collection were created in-camera during a three-year self-assigned artistic examination of a public museum environment. Unaltered State of Reality is a very large collection of several thousand photographs which are grouped into five Sub-Collections: Copper Visions, Fractured Panes, Reflections, Textured Visions and Translucent Visions. The thumbnail images above provide ten photographs from each of the five sub-collections from this extensive Collection.
From 2008 to 2011, I made 163 weekly visits to create images from a single location at the de Young Museum with an intention of creating art from the space, rather than visiting the museum to view the artwork of others. I set out to make photographs that provide a history of visitor interaction in a public space, while documenting the location from an artist's point-of-view.
The photographs included within the Unaltered State of Reality Collection are content rich, incorporating environmental elements such as building materials and architectural design elements into the images during exposure. Witnessing change was both rapid and evolutionary, for example, the temporary erection of a plastic tent to house café visitors during cold weather conditions, or fractured windowpanes that were quickly replaced.
The images I created during this long study represent a historical documentary of a public space. When the images created were displayed for public viewing within the museum, the project came full circle; as with all of my work, the photographs create a dialog between the art and the viewer, and tell a metaphoric story about us through our engagement in public spaces.
The graph above plots the number of exposures taken during each of the 163 weekly visits to the de Young Museum. The image map card below was provided to visitors during the exhibit to both entertain and educate visitors about the photographs and where the images were taken within the museum space to create a visitor interactive component to the exhibit.
When I study a subject I think about the on-site data and in-camera meta-data during a project. For example, the number of exposures taken during weekly visits to a location, or creating an exposure map of the locations that I shoot from during a project, etc. Analyzing the data provides a detailed history of a given project and serves as information during exhibits. Further, the data itself is an complementary art form for exhibits. Data mining yields information with a unique characteristic and often elegant graphical display that complements the photographs taken. The availability of data analysis helps educate exhibit visitors and fine art print collectors with a richer understanding of projects and how I approach projects from inception through exhibition.

If you're not keen on the busier centres of Knysna or Plettenberg Bay, the small town of Sedgefield provides a pleasant alternative that's still within easy access of all the popular tourist attractions on the Garden Route.
The surroundings are attractive. The Swartvlei Lake flows into the Sedgefield lagoon, which in turn flows into the Indian Ocean between fynbos covered dunes. To the north stand the forest-shrouded slopes of the Outeniqua mountains.
The town was established in 1928 as a halfway stop along the newly-completed railway line between George and Knysna. Its name referred to the abundant sedge grass growing in the area.
Today, its neighbourhoods spread around the lagoon and weave through the dunes fringing the coast. Many of the streets are lined with gum trees, which exhibit brilliant red flowers in summer. The central business district runs along 2 slip roads parallel to the N2.
West of town on the way to Wilderness lies the lovely lakes area, offering nature- and water-based activities. Sedgefield's greatest appeal lies in its undeveloped beaches and coastline, thanks to the large sand dunes that lie between the town and the sea.
Gericke's Point - is a shale headland west of Swartvlei Beach. At low tide the rock pools are good for snorkelling and it's a very popular fishing spot.
Bird Watching – over 250 species of birds occur in the area. This includes estuarine, marine and forest species. Sedgefield borders the Goukamma Nature Reserve to the east, which is a hot spot for marine birds. There are 3 public bird hides on the lakes to the west.
Walking and Hiking - there are numerous trails in the area. Some are specifically designed to allow the public access to the different ecosystems with birdwatching in mind. These include a number of trails in the Goukamma nature Reserve.
Wild Oats Farmers Market – this must be the best-known place in Sedgefield. It's held each Saturday morning. You'll find it on the left just off the N2, about 1km east of the town centre. Get there early to ensure the best selection from the 60-odd stallholders.
Groenvlei - is a spring-fed lake west of town that is brimming with an abundance of bass and birds. It is the only body of fresh water of all the lakes between Wilderness and Sedgefield, and is quite unusual in that it is not fed by any river. It's popular with fishermen who try their luck from the shore, or from boats with electric motors or paddles (no petrol motor boats are allowed).

WE'RE delighted to announce that our Peterborough-based member company, Axiom Housing Association, is celebrating a high-five for its care schemes after receiving another glowing report from the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Bircham House in Sawston, Cambridge, which had previously been assessed by CQC inspectors as 'requiring improvement', has been graded as 'Good' in its latest report, following a comprehensive, unannounced inspection in August.
The scheme provides care to people within their own flats, including older residents living with dementia, people with mental health conditions, younger adults and those with physical disabilities or sensory impairment.
The latest report means that five of Axiom's six care schemes across Cambridgeshire are now rated as 'Good', with Willowbank in Cambridge, Friary Court and The Pavilions in Peterborough and Beech Court in Littleport all achieving the same standard in their most recent inspections.
Axiom is part of Longhurst Group, having officially joined in July.
The Group's Executive Director of Care & Business Partnerships, Louise Platt, said: "At Longhurst Group, we are passionate about improving the lives of our customers and this latest CQC report shows that we continue to do that.
Axiom's Operations Director, Stuart Fort, added: "This is great news and really is testament to all of the hard work of our staff.
In Bircham House's assessment, inspectors rated it as 'Good' in all categories including its safety, its effectiveness, how caring and responsive it is and the quality of its leadership.
One customer, who was interviewed as part of the assessment process, said: "At this age, it is difficult to know what care you need, one is dealing with an entirely new situation, but the care staff here are very friendly and helpful."
A member of staff added: "We work together to make a difference to people. Some people don't have families close by and so we support them and chat with them. I think we make a lot of difference."

El Club Atlético Gimnasia y Esgrima, conocido popularmente como Gimnasia de Ciudadela, es una entidad polideportiva de la ciudad de Santa Fe, Argentina. Fue fundada como institución independiente en 1941, aunque las participaciones en su principal disciplina se remontan a 1924. Hoy compite en la Liga Santafesina de Fútbol.

Fue el primer club en consagrarse campeón profesional de fútbol en la Argentina, logro que consiguió el 3 de octubre de 1931 al ganar la Liga Santafesina unos meses antes que Newell's Old Boys y Boca Juniors hicieran lo propio en Rosario y Buenos Aires respectivamente.

Historia
El nacimiento de Gimnasia de Ciudadela está íntimamente ligado a otro histórico club de la ciudad de Santa Fe, el Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima, hoy conocido popularmente como Gimnasia y Esgrima de 4 de Enero.

Todo se remonta al año 1901, en el que se funda el club de Gimnasia, Pelota y Esgrima. El objetivo de este era, como su nombre lo indicaba, el desarrollo y la práctica de ejercicios físicos, Pelota vasca, y Esgrima para el adiestramiento en armas.

La sede social del mismo se emplazó en el centro de la ciudad, más precisamente en la calle 4 de Enero y su intersección con Juan de Garay. Con el comienzo del nuevo siglo, hubo un deporte que fue tomando cada vez mayor trascendencia en la sociedad, el Fútbol. Por esto es que se adquiere un Campo de Deportes emplazado en 4 de Enero y Boulevard Pellegrini, y en 1923 tras reuniones con el Sportman Athletic Club ambos clubes deciden fusionarse en 1924 entonces el club incorpora oficialmente la práctica del fútbol. Aunque en 1917 hubo un pequeño grupo de jugadores de Gimnasia y Esgrima que jugaron el campeonato por eliminación teniendo una actuación destacada al vencer por 7 a 2 a Unión. Después de la fusión con Sportman el equipo de Gimnasia y Esgrima actuaría jugando sus partidos en el field de Sportman en Boulevard Pellegrini. Al poco tiempo se decidió vender dicho terreno para comprar uno más grande hacia el norte de Santa Fe, en el barrio de Ciudadela.

Su primera participación en un torneo oficial de la Liga Santafesina de Football en 1924 se vería opacada debido a la división que hubo en ese año dejando el campeonato desierto pero eso no haría bajar los brazos al equipo mens-sana que logró sumar al plantel a grandes jugadores para pelear campeonatos como lo fueron Tomás Loyarte, Ennis Hayes y Juan Francia tres jugadores que defendieron los colores albi-celeste de la selección argentina. En el nuevo torneo que organizó la liga en el mismo año, Gimnasia se destacaría a gran medida saliendo subcampeón tras perder el partido final contra Colón. Al año siguiente en 1925 nuevamente el combinado mens-sana saldría subcampeón por detrás de Colón, en 1926 la división vivida en el fútbol santafesino se calmaría fusionandose la Asociación Santafesina de Football Amateurs y la Liga Santafesina de Football naciendo así la Federación Santafesina de Football, Gimnasia nuevamente se colocaría en la segunda posición quedándose con el subcampeonato no fue sino hasta 1927 que Gimnasia se coronaría campeón tras arrebatarle el campeonato en las últimas fechas a Unión.

Sin dudas, el año 1931 está marcado en la historia del club y la ciudad en general, porque en ese año se funda la Liga Santafesina de Fútbol y Gimnasia fue su primer campeón. Sumado a ese gran logró, el 24 de mayo se inaugura el Gigante de Ciudadela, un estadio modelo en la región para la época. También en ese año nace el apodo de "Los Pistoleros" por el que se conoce hasta hoy en día a la entidad, basado en la delantera goleadora de aquel primer campeonato logrado.

En 1936 se convirtió en el primer club de la ciudad en hacer una gira por el exterior jugando partidos en Perú y Chile.

El 23 de agosto de 1941, por cuestiones económicas y sociales, el fútbol se separa del resto de las disciplinas del Gimnasia y Esgrima de 4 de Enero. Así nace la nueva institución con el aditamento de Atlético Gimnasia y Esgrima.

A mediados de los 40, Gimnasia recibe la invitación para afiliarse a la AFA y acompañar a Unión en la Segunda División del Fútbol Argentino, pero la propuesta es rechazada por la comisión directiva del club que contaba con deudas económicas referidas a la construcción del estadio. Así, Gimnasia de Ciudadela dejó pasar la oportunidad de ser el segundo club de Santa Fe en escena.

En 1952 y 1956 el club pediría su afiliación a la Asociación de Fútbol Argentino pero ambos pedidos serían denegados.

Desde aquel momento hasta hoy, Gimnasia ha participado esporádicamente en torneos de carácter nacional. Apenas un par de participaciones en el Torneo Argentino B (1995/96, 2006/07 y 2007/08) y Torneo del Interior (2006 y 2009).

Actualmente, Gimnasia es el cuarto club que más veces ha ganado la Liga Santafesina de Fútbol con 11 títulos en su haber. El 24 de noviembre de 2012 descendió por primera vez en su historia a la segunda división de la Liga tras perder por 4 a 1 ante San Cristóbal. En el año 2015, y luego de un par de frustraciones, Los Pistoleros logran volver a la Primera División de la Liga Santafesina de Fútbol después de vencer 1-0 a Nobleza de Recreo y consagrándose así campeón absoluto de la B.

En 2016 el club se queda a la puerta del título, luego de ganar la última fecha del Clausura ante Colón de San Justo, igualando en puntos con Unión y por lo tanto teniendo que disputar una final en cancha neutral. El encuentro disputado en el estadio de Ciclón Racing terminó con la victoria tatengue y dejando a Gimnasia con el subcampeonato.

En el año 2019 consigue su undécimo título en la liga tras consagrarse campeón del torneo Apertura, luego de derrotar en la penúltima fecha a Ateneo Inmaculada en condición de visitante por 4 goles contra 1, cortando así una sequía de más de 10 años sin títulos.

Estadio
El Gigante de Ciudadela fue inaugurado en los días 24 y 25 de mayo de 1931 con un torneo amistoso que disputaron Gimnasia, Unión y Ferroviarios Porteños.

Está situado en el barrio de Ciudadela de la ciudad de Santa Fe, sobre las calles Dr. Zavalla, Martín Zapata, Gobernador Freyre y Manuel Padilla.

Es una monumental obra en el arte de la construcción de estadios deportivos de principios del siglo XX y fue realizada por el ingeniero Manuel Argüelles, con un diseño muy similar a La Doble Visera de Independiente y al viejo Coloso de Newell's Old Boys de Rosario.

La tribuna, que se ubica en el lateral oeste, tiene 33 escalones y una imponente visera de 110 metros de largo, ambos de hormigón armado. Hoy en día es la única que mantiene su forma original sin alguna alteración. En el año 2012, el Consejo Deliberante de la Municipalidad de Santa Fe declaró, por medio de una Ordenanza, de interés Histórico-Artístico y parte del Patrimonio Cultural de la ciudad a su tribuna.

El estadio también sirve como sede de grandes conciertos. Artistas como Andrés Calamaro, Callejeros, Don Osvaldo y Ricardo Arjona se presentaron en el campo de juego de Ciudadela.

Rivalidades deportivas

Desde que se empezara a practicar fútbol en 1924 el Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima tuvo sus primeros roces con el Club Atlético Brown por ver quien era considerado el competidor directo del Club Atlético Unión y el Club Colón, con la obtención de los títulos de 1927, 1928, 1931 y 1933 la rivalidad con Brown fue disminuyendo, además las malas gestiones de Brown hicieron que el club fuera "en picado" hasta el punto de desaparecer en 1936.

En la década de 1930 el club empezaría a ser considerado el club más importante de la ciudad por encima de Colón y Unión, lo que hizo que empezara a tener cierta rivalidad con ambos clubes hasta el ingreso de Unión a AFA en 1940. Al retirar Unión su escuadra principal de la Liga Santafesina, su contexto se volvió amateur, y se produjeron grandes descontento por el deporte del fútbol, tal es así que en 1941 se bifurca el Club GyE y hereda el camino el Atl.Gimnasia y Esgrima, quien desperdició su oportunidad al rechazar la invitación Afista y cuando Colón logra esa afiliación en 1948, Atl. Gimnasia intentaría acompañar a ambos clubes (Unión y Colón) a AFA, pero sus intentos de afiliarse fueron rechazados.

Con el ingreso a AFA de Unión y Colón, Gimnasia empezaría a tener una pequeña rivalidad que luego fue agrandándose con el Club Atlético Ferro Carril Santa Fe, histórico fundador de la Liga Profesional en 1931, esta rivalidad duró muchos años hasta que en 2001 el club ferroviario cesaría su actividades llegando a la desaparición.

En los últimos años empezó una rivalidad con el Club Sportivo Guadalupe.

Contemporary Art Museum | Buenos Aires
This proposal for the New Contemporary Art Museum (NCAM) in Buenos Aires embodies the city's dynamic cultural vibrancy. The building sits along the Rio de la Plata, plugging into the internationally influenced urban context as an architectural artifact representing the city itself. The design provides various exhibition and gathering spaces for both programmed and passive interaction between local visitors, tourist and the various exhibits of architecture, painting, sculpture, fashion and textiles. Two such external spaces activate the site and enhance the Puerto Madero waterfront promenade experience. By recessing the corners of the East façade a plaza is created to the South and an amphitheater to the North. A large framed opening in the North elevation holds a dual-direction stage linking the interior auditorium with the exterior amphitheater. Large retractable panel doors enable performances for visitors located inside, outside or both simultaneously. A second exterior gallery and entry portal is created by lifting the central portion of the building mass. This covered multipurpose space connects the East and West areas of the site, activating circulation around the building and framing the view to the canal. A linear lighting design integrated with the underside of the building to signal the entry and illuminate this area for evening events. The light beneath the form allows the building to stand as a beacon along the promenade. From beneath the building visitors enter into a four-story atrium which acts as the vertical spine connecting the exhibition spaces above. To the North and South of the atrium are three levels of single and double height galleries. Minimal walls create variable separation of the spaces, catering to the requirements of the curators. The open atrium is traversed by a walkway gallery along the west façade, connecting the two ends of the building. The top of the atrium space is punctuated by a large café which provides views to the various galleries below. A panelized façade composed of primary frames and secondary filler panels washes the internal spaces with varied quantities of natural light. By altering the proportions of solid to glazing within the filler panels the façade opens to provide a large amount of light to the atrium and closes near the galleries where moderate and indirect light is best. With the longer facades of the building facing East and West the skin receives large amounts of solar radiation. Therefore, the secondary panels are positioned within the primary frame to provide deep reveals in these trouble areas. The diagrid frame system serves as shading devices to mitigate solar heat gain. Low e-glazing provides additional protection and moderates the amount of cooling or heating required for the building. The roof of the building takes advantage of the orientation through the use of a flush mounted solar panel roof. Large chamfer surfaces running the length of the building orient a portion of the panels towards the morning and evening sun maximizing the angle of incidence and increase the efficiency of the panels. The NCAM Buenos Aires is a remarkable venue which presents itself as a participant in the current architectural movement of the region, connecting to the context and becoming the canvas upon which the contemporary arts will continue to redefine the now and future.

| The building is located along the river within a context characterized by rectilinear architecture. |
| The North and South corners of the East facade push back to provide valuable space along the river promenade. |
| The center of the building lifts to provide entry and East-West circulation within the site. Connectivity is enhanced linking multiple exterior amenities around the building. |
| The South end of the building lifts to provide additional covered exterior space, a portion of which is loading. |
| The North auditorium holds a dual stage which utilizes retractable glazed partitions, hosting both interior and exterior performances. The project utilizes these open ends for cross ventilation of the central atrium space. |
| The program is organized around the central atrium space. The resulting form is the sum of the programmatic requirements such as double height gallery spaces and auditorium viewing angles. |
| Thermal solar panelization of the roof and chamfered edges heat a network of water pipes beneath the skin to providing additional energy for the buildings operation. |

NCP Governorship candidate Omoragbon petitions Justice Liman over dereliction of duty
By GILBERT EKEZIE
The National Conscience Party (NCP) Governorship Candidate in Edo State in 2016 & 2020, Pastor Peters Osawaru Omoragbon has petitioned Justice M. Liman of the Federal High Court Kano Division (formerly of the Federal High Court, Lagos Division), over what he called misconduct and dereliction of duty by the Honourable Justice of the Federal High Court.
The release he sent to the media reads: "A case of misconduct and dereliction of duty against Honourable Justice M. Liman of the Federal High Court, Kano Division (formerly of the Federal High Court, Lagos Division) dated January 3rd, 2022 by Pastor Peters Omoragbon, Gubernatorial Candidate of the National Conscience Party at the 2020 Edo State Governorship Elections."
Stating further, Omoragbon disclosed what transpired was that the National Conscience Party instituted an Independent legal dispute against INEC and the AG of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on May 5, 2020, through Originating Summons with an Affidavit of Urgency. "This case was not heard until October 13, 2020, where all the parties adopted their written submissions and judgement reserved till December 18, 2020. Even though the bureaucratic bottlenecks constituted a stumbling block to my aspiration as Governor in the Edo State Elections, I was very hopeful that no matter the undue delay, justice would eventually be served.
"It must be recalled that prior to the Edo State Governorship elections in 2020, INEC had ignominiously deregistered some political parties including the NCP. This led to a series of legal disputes against the INEC and judgement awarded against INEC, some of which are pending rulings at the Supreme Court.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Press, as at today January 3rd, 2022, the ruling that was to be given on December 18, 2020, is yet to be delivered by Justice M. Liman," Omoragbo lamented.
He maintained that Justice Liman's action was a deliberate act of dereliction of duty "I am constrained by circumstances beyond my control to call this Press Conference over the deliberate act of dereliction of duty by Honourable Justice M. Liman over the legal dispute instituted by our Party, the National Conscience Party against INEC and the Attorney General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Omoragbon said it was in the light of the obvious challenge that he directed his legal team to petition the Honourable Justice "It was in the light of this abuse of office that I directed my Legal Team led by Barrister Marcus Eyarhono Esq to formally petition Justice M. Liman to the National Judicial Council for his dereliction of duty."
The NCP Governorship Candidate said Nigeria is becoming a laughingstock due to what he called lack of transparency "Every day, Nigeria is made a laughingstock by other nations of the world by our lack of transparency and corruption in high places. Whose interest is being served by the inaction of Justice M. Liman if not that of INEC and by extension the Attorney General of the Federation? When will the Nigerian judiciary be separated from the executive branch?" He queried.
While displaying the certified copies of the petition, Omoragbon urged the media to hold every branch of government accountable "May I end this briefing by imploring the media to please, hold every branch of government accountable, from the Executive, the legislative and the Judiciary."

The Herschel Space Observatory: Exploring the Origins of Stars and Galaxies
A Public lecture by: Professor Matt Griffin (Cardiff)
NEW VENUE - Fyvie Hall, University of Westminster, 309 Regent Street, LONDON, W1B 2UW
The Herschel Space Observatory was launched by the European Space Agency in May 2009. It works at far infrared wavelengths, about 100-1000 times longer than the wavelengths of visible light. It carries the biggest astronomical telescope yet launched, and its main scientific goals are to investigate how stars form in our galaxy today and the formation and evolution of galaxies throughout the history of the Universe.
The observatory is working very well and has produced many spectacular images and scientific results. I will describe the Herschel spacecraft and its instruments, and show some scientific highlights.
Professor Matt Griffin studied Electrical Engineering at University College Dublin and Astrophysics at Queen Mary College London. He remained at Queen Mary until 2001 when he joined the Astronomy Instrumentation Group at Cardiff University. His research work has included the development of state-of-the-art instruments for both ground-based and space-borne observatories, and study of planetary atmospheres, star formation, galaxy evolution, and the Earth's atmosphere. He led the international team that built the SPIRE instrument on board ESA's Herschel Space Observatory, which is studying the formation of stars and galaxies, and is a Co-Investigator of the Planck Surveyor satellite, which is studying the big bang.

Q: Django Crispy Forms add HTML Attributes My goal is to have LastPass ignore all input forms on my site.  I am using crispy forms and showing all form fields with only this in my HTML:
{{ form|crispy }}

However, I want to edit some of the HTML attributes of all input elements created by this form WITHOUT writing each one individually.  LastPass recommends that I use data-lpignore="true" in my HTML input tags.  I tried to implement that in my form tags, but that didn't work (yes, I know, form != input). :
<form action="{{ action }}" method="post" class="no-ajax" data-lpignore="true">
  {% csrf_token %}
  {{ form|crispy }}
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" />
</form>

This didn't work.
I also tried including the following in SETTINGS.py:
CRISPY_CLASS_CONVERTERS = {'data-lpignore': 'true'}

Which is supposed to add data-lpignore="true" to my crispy form input tags according to crispy forms' documentation, but this didn't work.
Am I stuck doing individual input lines or is there a better solution?

A: In your form class, pass default attributes to the widget used to render your form fields. For example,
from django import forms

DEFAULT_ATTRS = {'data-lpignore': 'true'}
...
class SampleForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs=DEFAULT_ATTRS))

Why Toyota Saving the iBot Wheelchair Is a Big Deal
The return of a high-tech wheelchair may signify renewed interest in using technology to assist people at all levels of physical mobility.
Deka Research's iBot is poised for a comeback. The high-tech wheelchair, which can climb stairs, elevate users to eye-level with peers and balance on difficult terrain, was an exciting prospect for those with limited mobility when it was introduced in the early 2000's. But it was off of the market within a decade due to high prices.
Inventor Dean Kamen announced this weekend that Deka Research has formed a partnership with Toyota to bring the iBot back to the market. The car manufacturer will license Deka's balancing technologies (Kamen also invented the Segway) for "medical rehabilitative therapy and potentially other purposes." The partnership was announced at the annual convention of the Paralyzed Veterans of America.
Overall, this revival is a big deal, signifying the transportation industry's interest in providing better mobility tools to people at every level of physical ability.

The elephant in the room is the cost. When production stopped in 2009, Deka priced the iBot at $25,000. Deka hasn't mentioned how much its next iBot will be, but its presumed that the partnership with Toyota is designed to make the device more affordable.

Earlier this year, a big feud broke out between two giants; Google and Apple; over an iPhone app for Google Voice, the phone service provided by Google.
The trouble started after Apple blocked the Google Voice app for iPhone which then also involved the FCC and Eric Schmidt resigning from the Apple board of directors. However, it looks like both Apple and Google have worked over their differences since the Google Voice app is now officially available for the iPhone.
Google officially announced that the Google Voice app for iPhone and iPod Touch is available for download from the App store. The new app will allow you to make cheap international calls and provide free text messaging to US numbers. Google Voice for iPhone will also include push notifications and will involve making calls through Direct Access numbers.
Excited about this news? Don't wait, go ahead and download the Google Voice app from the app store here. Not sure what Google Voice is? Check out a video which explains what Google Voice is.
Update: As pointed in the comment below, this app does not work on the iPod Touch yet. There are several comments on the app page which point this out too. I will figure out a way to get it running on the iPod Touch soon.
i think you're wrong re ipod touch. doesn't seem to be available, nor does google announcemnt mention it.
I guess it would be to much to expect that this could be the beginning of any kind of friendship, but it's good news for "iUsers".
It doesn't work! It's downloadable, but I get a popup that says something like it's incompatible. What gives?

What happens to my pet during the process?
If these questions sound familiar, please read through our step by step processes for a better understanding and an insight to the business of International Pet Transport. This is what we do, our business is your pets complete comfort and wellbeing. Pet Carriers offer first class service for your beloved furry family members.
We understand that a little special attention and personalised service goes a long way in what can potentially be a stressful time for yourself and your pet.
Collection day is generally the day before flight departure,. Your pet will be collected from your residence by one of our friendly drivers in the Pet Carriers van. Our drivers are experienced in handling many different pets with all different personalities. Please don't worry if you have a nervous pet, we will be able to calm him or her move the pet from house to van as safely as possible. Our driver will collect any relevant original vaccination cards or records relevant to the country of Import. They will also collect any bedding/toys or special food should your pet have any dietary requirements.
Your pet will have a scheduled veterinary health check on the day of collection. This health check is to ensure your pet is free of any diseases and fit and healthy to travel by air the following day. The veterinary consult usually takes no more than 15 minutes. After the veterinary health check, your pet is delivered back to our facililties for overnight boarding.
We have proper boarding facilities at all major ports in Australia. We offer large runs for all dogs and a special enclosed cat room away from the potential noise of barking dogs.
Whilst boarding with us, dogs are taken for a minimum of 2 walks per day. If time and weather permits, we like to take them more than twice. It is not uncommon for your dog to be taken to a special dog park or reserve to exert all of their energy pre flight. Cats have a chance to stretch their legs outside of their sleeping enclosure inside the cat room. We have lots of scratching posts and climbing bars.
After your pet has had a health check at the vet and settled in at our facilities, we will arrange collection of the export paperwork from Australian quarantine and airline documents relevant to the export. Your pets travelling crate will be prepared and made comfortable for the journey.
Inside your pets travelling crate we will provide newspaper and stay dry matting. If you have given our driver a special blanket or bedding for your pet, we will ensure this is included for ultimate comfort. All travelling crates are fitted with a water container. This can be topped up from the outside at any transit port and at the destination without having to open the door.
It's usually very sad goodbye pats and cuddles given as your pet is loaded into the pet carriers van to be taken to the airport. We are required to arrive 3 hours prior to flight departure at the designated cargo agent at the International airport.
It's another teary goodbye as we fill the water container and ensure your pet is comfortable and relaxed inside his/her travelling crate. From here the door is sealed shut with cable ties until your pet reaches their destination. The cargo handling agents will collect your pet in his/her travelling crate from the Pet Carriers van and load the travelling crate onto a forklift.
When your pet is loaded onto the aircraft, the travelling crate is secured in an area designated for live animals, away from the other baggage and cargo. The travelling crate is strapped down individually with netting so that no movement occurs during flight take-off and landing. The bulk hold is pressurised and temperature controlled. It is also dimly lit.
On some journeys, pets may be required to transit through a different country. They may swap planes or remain on the same aircraft while it refuels. If your pet's transit is for an extended period, we can arrange for our representatives to provide a comfort stop. Your pets are offered the chance to come out of their travelling crates for a walk. Their crate is cleaned up and their water is refilled.
Similar to the same processes at the departure airport, your pet will be offloaded the plane and will carry out these procedures in reverse. Pet carriers will supply you will details for collecting your pet at the destination airport. We often provide home delivery where our agents can arrange this collection on your behalf and deliver to your residence.

How Vaccines Play a Role in Overall Wellness
September 20, 2021 September 19, 2021 CMGALK
Medical providers are counting on the general population to help ease the load of patients in hospitals by maintaining their health and taking preventative measures to avoid requiring medical care. It is vital to maintain routine wellness visits, follow-up appointments, stay up to date on vaccines, etc. Maintaining your health-preventative care, regular exercise, hydration, rest, and a healthy diet- is an essential factor in keeping you and your loved ones healthy and safe as well as assisting those caring for patients with COVID-19 related illness. Vaccines are one facet of maintaining your health. Today, we'll share an overview of specific vaccines recommended by the CDC and the National Institute of Health:
Influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. During flu season, flu viruses circulate at higher levels in the U.S. population. "Flu season" in the United States can begin as early as October and last as late as May. An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to reduce your risk of getting sick and spreading it to others. It takes 2 weeks before the vaccine becomes effective so illness can still occur during that time. That's why it's imperative to get it early in the fall before flu season takes hold.
Every flu season is different, and the influenza infection can affect people differently. Millions of people get the flu every year, hundreds of thousands of people are hospitalized, and tens of thousands of people die from flu-related causes every year. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to others. The CDC estimates that flu-related hospitalizations since 2010 ranged from 140,000 to 710,000, while flu-related deaths are estimated to have ranged from 12,000 to 56,000. Of those who died, 80% were not vaccinated and 40% of children had no risk factors for complications. When more people get vaccinated against the flu, less flu can spread through that community. Everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu vaccine annually.
A flu vaccine is needed every season for two reasons. First, the body's immune response from vaccination declines over time, so an annual vaccine is needed for optimal protection. Second, because flu viruses are constantly changing, the formulation of the flu vaccine is reviewed each year and sometimes updated to keep up with changing flu viruses. There is still a possibility you could get the flu even if you got vaccinated. The ability of the flu vaccine to protect a person depends on various factors, including the age and health status of the person being vaccinated, and also the similarity or "match" between the viruses used to make the vaccine and those circulating in the community. If the viruses in the vaccine and the influenza viruses circulating in the community are closely matched, vaccine effectiveness is higher. If they are not closely matched, vaccine effectiveness can be reduced. However, it's important to remember that even when the viruses are not closely matched, the vaccine can still protect many people and prevent flu- related complications. Such protection is possible because antibodies made in response to the vaccine can provide some protection (called cross-protection) against different, but related, influenza viruses.
According to the CDC, people with egg allergies can receive any licensed, recommended age-appropriate influenza vaccine and no longer have to be monitored for 30 minutes after receiving the vaccine. People who have severe egg allergies should be vaccinated in a medical setting and be supervised by a health care provider who is able to recognize and manage severe allergic conditions.
The great news this year? The flu vaccine has been found to prevent people from contracting COVID-19, as well as lessen the severity of illness if someone should become infected with COVID-19. Just one more reason to get your yearly flu shot.
Although the Hepatitis B vaccine is made from parts of the Hepatitis B virus, it cannot cause Hepatitis B infection. The vaccine is usually given as 3 or 4 shots, over a 6-month period.
Infants should get their first dose of hepatitis B vaccine at birth and will usually complete the series at 6 months of age.
All children and adolescents younger than 19 years of age who have not yet gotten the vaccine should also be vaccinated.
Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for unvaccinated adults who are at risk for Hepatitis B virus infection such as healthcare and public service providers, those with chronic liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes or are immunocompromised. There are no known risks to getting the Hepatitis B vaccine at the same time as other vaccines.
Mumps, measles, rubella vaccine
The CDC recommends that people get MMR vaccines to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella. Children should get two doses of MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age. Teens and adults also should also be up to date on their MMR vaccination. Children may also get the MMRV vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chickenpox). This vaccine is only licensed for use in children who are 12 months through 12 years of age.
MMR vaccine is given later than some other childhood vaccines because antibodies transferred from the mother to the baby can provide some protection from disease and make the MMR vaccine less effective until about 1 year of age. Teenagers, healthcare personnel, and adults who do not have evidence of immunity against measles should get two doses of MMR vaccine separated by at least 28 days.
Women of childbearing age should check with their doctor to make sure they are vaccinated before they get pregnant. Women of childbearing age who do not have evidence of immunity should get at least one dose of MMR vaccine. It is safe for breastfeeding women to receive MMR vaccination. Breastfeeding does not interfere with the response to MMR vaccine, and the baby will not be affected by the vaccine through breast milk.
DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis) vaccine
DTaP vaccine can help protect your child from diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis.
• DIPHTHERIA (D) can cause breathing problems, paralysis, and heart failure. Before vaccines, diphtheria killed tens of thousands of children every year in the United States. Starting in the 1920s, diphtheria rates dropped quickly in the United States and other countries that began widely vaccinating. In the past decade, there were less than five cases of diphtheria in the Unites States reported to CDC. However, the disease continues to play a role globally with 7,321 cases reported to the World Health Organization in 2014.
• TETANUS (T) causes painful tightening of the muscles. It can cause "locking" of the jaw so you cannot open your mouth or swallow. About 1 person out of 5 who get tetanus, dies. Before vaccines, an average of 500-600 cases occurred annually. There were about 30 reported cases per year between 1996 and 2014. Nearly all cases of tetanus today are in people who never got a tetanus vaccine, or adults who don't stay up to date on their 10-year booster shots.
• PERTUSSIS (aP), also known as Whooping Cough, causes coughing spells so bad that it is hard for infants and children to eat, drink, or breathe. It can cause pneumonia, seizures, brain damage, or death. Before whooping cough vaccines became widely available in the 1940s, about 200,000 children got sick with it each year in the United States and about 9,000 died as a result of the infection. After this, whooping cough cases reached an all-time low in the 1980s. But due to lack of vaccinations, it started making a comeback in the 1990's.
Most children who are vaccinated with DTaP will be protected throughout childhood. Many more children would get these diseases if we stopped vaccinating.
Before vaccines, as many as 200,000 cases of diphtheria and hundreds of cases of tetanus were reported in the United States each year. Adults should also get a one-time dose of Tdap to protect themselves, their families and friends, and infants they may be in contact with. Td vaccine can protect adolescents and adults from tetanus and diphtheria. Td is usually given as a booster dose every 10 years, but it can also be given earlier after a severe and dirty wound or burns.
Pneumococcal vaccine
Vaccines help prevent pneumococcal disease, which is any type of infection caused by Streptococcus Pneumoniae bacteria. There are two kinds of pneumococcal vaccines available in the United States:
• Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (prevnar)
• Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (pneumovax)
The CDC recommends pneumococcal vaccine for all children younger than 2 years old, for all adults 65 years or older and people 2 through 64 years old who have a long-term health condition such as diabetes, asthma or heart, lung, and kidney disease. Adults 19 through 64 years old who smoke cigarettes should also get the vaccine.
Adults age 65 years and older should receive both Prevnar and Pneumovax but not at the same time. You should receive a dose of Prevnar first (if possible), followed by a dose of Pneumovax 1 year later. If you've already received any doses of Pneumovax, the dose of Prevnar should be given at least 1 year after receipt of the most recent Pneumovax dose. If you've already received a dose of Prevnar before age 65 years, another dose of Prevnar is not recommended. Talk to your healthcare provider to find out if you need one or both of these vaccines.
Shingles vaccines
Read the post on Postherpetic Neuralgia to learn more about Shingles and the vaccine.
HPV vaccines protect against infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV). HPV is a group of more than 200 related viruses, of which more than 40 are spread through direct sexual contact. Among these, several HPV types cause general warts, and about a dozen HPV types can cause certain types of cancer—cervical, anal, oropharyngeal, penile, vulvar, and vaginal.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Giardisil to prevent infection with HPV types 16 and 18, two high-risk HPV's that cause about 70% of cervical cancers. Giardisil prevents an even higher percentage of some of the other HPV-caused cancers and provides protection against types of HPV that cause 90% of genital warts.
All children aged 11 or 12 years of age, young women through age 26, and young men through age 21 should get the HPV vaccine. No additional doses are required after completing the initial series.
Meningococcal disease is a serious illness caused by a bacterium. It can cause meningitis, which is an infection of the brain and spinal cord, and it can also cause blood infections. The infection can cause death or lifelong disability.
Anyone can get meningococcal disease, but it is most common in infants less than 1 year of age. Teens are less likely to be infected than infants, but disease levels increase in adolescence starting around age 11, and peak around 19 years of age.
About 375 people get the disease each year, and about 10 to 15 out of 100 people infected with meningococcal disease die. Of those who survive, up to 20% will have permanent disabilities, such as deafness, brain damage, loss of limbs, or seizures.
Meningococcal disease is spread by contact with secretions (saliva or spit) from the nose and throat. Kissing, drinking directly from the same container, and having close social contact (living in the same household or dormitory) are examples of how this disease spreads. All 11 to 12 year olds should be vaccinated with a meningococcal vaccine and given a booster dose at 16 years old.
Keeping up on vaccinations ensures all of us stay healthy and safe. Ask your healthcare provider which are appropriate for you.
Courtney Medical Group has remained open during the pandemic so that our patients can continue to receive the highest standard of medical care under the most stringent safety guidelines. When necessary we can also "see" you telemedically. Maintaining your health is the key to staying healthy throughout these tough times. Flu vaccines are available now, please contact us if you would like to schedule an appointment to receive yours.

AirPods Max drops one of Apple's high-end features despite the $549 price tag
By Sean Riley 09 December 2020
AirPods Max are missing one key rumored feature
(Image credit: Apple)
The AirPods Max launched without too much fanfare this week. Which is somewhat understandable given the volume of events that Apple has thrown over the last few months and the perhaps more niche appeal of the $550 wireless headphones.
One detail that got a bit lost in the shuffle was the fact that Apple has opted not to include the U1 chip in the AirPods Max. That is the chip that was first introduced with the iPhone 11 and offers Ultra Wideband (UWB) support for enhanced spatial awareness between devices, something you might appreciate to keep track of your very expensive headphones (via 9to5Mac).

Anker Soundcore Life Q30 review
Best headphone deals for December 2020
To be fair, Apple hasn't exactly been consistent with its inclusion of the U1 chip. Other recent releases that have included it are the iPhone 12, Apple Watch Series 6 and HomePod mini, however you won't find it in the Apple Watch SE, iPhone SE or any of the current iPads.
It seemed like Apple's high-end mobile products would be getting the U1 going forward and the AirPods Max would certainly seem to qualify. While Apple hasn't made much use of the U1 functionality just yet, the rumored AirTags and refreshed Find My app are expected this spring and should make the benefits of this technology far more apparent.
UWB is also expected to play more of a role in the future as an augmented reality tool. But whether headphones would see a benefit from that is unclear. It's just unfortunate to see Apple fail to include some of its compelling new tech in a product that is at least at the top of the price range for Apple's current position in the audio market. However, whether AirPods Max have transcended that and earned a place with more traditional premium audio brands remains to be seen.

Filmmakers Are Crowdfunding the Music Licensing for 'The Sax Man' To Bring It To Theaters, Netflix
By Eric Sandy on Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 3:11 pm
When the 2014 CIFF debut of The Sax Man sold out faster than small-town gossip, everyone without tix collectively mourned. We sated ourselves with the amazing trailer and frequent trips down to Euclid for more of Maurice Reedus Jr.'s fine, fine tones.
Well, the filmmakers are trying to ameliorate that pain by bringing the documentary to public theaters and, blessedly for so many of us, Netflix, iTunes, et. al.
The Indiegogo funding page cites music licensing as the last remaining hurdle for that goal. Director Joe Siebert and Co. are looking to raise $50,000, because of all the wonderful music Maurice plays. Even "Happy Birthday" requires payment to some big, faceless company.
"How can you own 'Happy Birthday'?" Maurice asks in the Indiegogo pitch video. Indeed, Maurice. Indeed.
Because Maurice plays so many famous songs in the film, we have to pay for each and every one...which costs a lot of money. But until we can pay for these licenses, we will not be able to complete our deal with the distributor to get the film out there.
The film itself, showcasing a community staple, was built on community fundraising via a Kickstarter page a few years ago. "We knew that we were going to need more than what we were going to be able to raise on Kickstarter — because it's set up in a way that if you don't hit a certain goal, you don't get the pledges — so we had to find what we thought would be a magic number that would be both high enough to get us at least down the road a little further and reasonable enough to be possible. The goal was $35,000 and by the end of it cleared $38,000," Siebert told Scene last year.
The fundraising page has garnered $480 as of publishing this quick little piece (raising at least $40 in like the five minutes it took to write alone). Deadline for donations is Nov. 18.
Here's more from our interview with Siebert (emphasizing a passage that relates to the goal at hand):
For the Cleveland audience, people should come see it because what this film does is put Cleveland in a framework that really highlights the importance of community and togetherness in our particular city; he's kind of the symbol of that in this film, for not giving up when you're down and keeping up with your passion. For a city like Cleveland that has seen its share of hard times, I think he's a good metaphor for how the city keeps moving forward despite the circumstances. Beyond Cleveland, it has a universal human message that true success isn't necessarily making the millions of dollars and having your name known, it's about finding a way to really take your deepest passions and meet the world around you to make the difference you can.
