HQ Creative Office to Convert Hollywood Church
They will walk in, shepherded under a beautifully arched cloister, bathed in a diffuse, purifying light. The partitioned windows will protect their private thoughts from the mad rush of the world outside, feeding a sense of unified purpose among those who have congregated there. For so many of them, their efforts here will be an integral part of life; some approach it with ritualistic reverence, others, with spirited abandon. You are not far off the mark for taking this to be a scene of devoted churchgoers, attending to the holy needs of their souls, forging a community that will extend itself to the larger society. But no, they will not come here to worship. Yet, this group will doing something that God himself would surely smile upon: they will be creating, working, prospering. Fittingly enough, all of this will be taking place in what used to be a church. It's not as odd as it sounds; rather ingenious, actually. Churches today are lending themselves to a whole array of nonreligious uses. Many of you who have traveled throughout Europe may have eaten at a restaurant that used to host Mass, or shopped at a bookstore where bibles used to reign supreme. There are a number of unused churches in the U.S. and abroad that were given new life and now serve as breweries, skateparks, banks, nightclubs, libraries, condominiums, and enviable private homes. HQ is continuing to bring its unique awareness of creative office needs with its first ever church conversion in Hollywood. There are so many convincing reasons to embed modern functions and sensibilities to unused churches. Location, economic benefit, history, and community are all major factors in our excitement for this initial church conversion that we are undertaking. Los Angeles, like the rest of the country, has become increasingly less religious with each generation. Many churches are struggling to find a flock, while media, tech, and entertainment industries are having a major revival. In certain cases, the local landscape has become more developed and diverse, and churches are some of the last economically underused hubs in prime locations of the city. Another aspect that makes churches so amenable to a great conversion is that most retain their soundly built architecture and unique materials – such as striking glass windows and marble columns. Church structures are often beloved, recognizable forms dotting the urban landscape. As a result, they exude presence, history, and continuity. HQ will be channeling this wonderful past and enhancing it to glorious heights in order to create an unmatched work space for creative office needs. The high ceilings, saturation of natural light, and the flowing line and apex of surrounding arches make for an inspired forum for creativity of all types. Modern and practical partitions for meeting and sitting will allow the creative's muse to stay on point. Step outside, and you're in the thick of the vibrant and unexpected Hollywood scene. How many people would dream of pursuing their creative passion in this enchanted space? HQ will be making this a reality in the coming months, devoting ourselves to enriching the community once again through this alluring church conversion and adding a completely unique property to our growing portfolio.

Do you have too much belly fat? Then kept reading. Due to the fact that weight reduction has more benefits than just a good appearance. Not only is excessive belly fat cosmetically not attractive, the risks to your health are also greater than you think.
The most crucial risk is a greatly increased risk of heart disease. However also your joints (back, knees, ankles) get obese when overweight. Finally, an excess of abdominal fat is viewed as a strong indicator for the development of type 2 diabetes, leading to major, often even deadly illness of the heart and capillary.
You do not see the most unsafe stubborn belly fat!
A tummy is therefore not without risk. People typically believe that a little stubborn belly can not do any damage. But beware, just the additional fat that is saved around your waist threatens!
The human body stores fats in two various locations. The first we know just too well, clearly visible under the skin of the abdomen, hips, butts and thighs.
But fat is also saved under the skin, around the heart, lungs, stomach and liver. This organ fat is admittedly unnoticeable, but extremely unhealthy if you have excessive of it. Which tummy is a direct sign that excessive fat is kept around the organs.
However it goes further, research reveals that stubborn belly fat produces a great deal of cortisol hormones. And these have a strong relationship with the advancement of cancer cells and growths. Cortisol is produced by the body under stress (read: risk) and for that reason assumes that you require extra energy later to curb the risk. Therefore the body is going to save it. In addition, cortisol increases the appetite so that you unconsciously eat more.
In other words, a negative spiral that is really hazardous. Do not be sidetracked by the cosmetic side of the story, belly fat is not a matter of appearance alone. It is merely lethal.
Walk the supermarket when. And try to make an estimate of the portion of foods that you in fact require in relation to exactly what is only high-end.
Nevertheless, every supermarket would be able to fulfill all our nutritional requirements with half of the variety with no issue.
Returning in time, it ends up that from an evolutionary point of view our body is made to burn a great deal of fats and proteins and reasonably few carbs. But times are changing, our prosperity has actually increased however sadly our dietary habits also.
Lots of health problems, in particular excess belly fat, are the result of a rigorously altered diet. Just go, almost all the food that we can buy today originates from a factory. Where we used to purchase fruit and vegetables on the market or with a farmer, whatever is now prepared and made in the most striking packaging.
A different issue was likewise presented with these so-called produced foods; masses of artificial additives came into our food. They are low-cost, easy to load and simple to take in. And preferably as much as possible, the mega packs, 2 for the rate of 1 and kilo tickets will fly you over. The increasing supply has not enhanced the quality, on the contrary.
That you are overweight is for that reason not unusual. But rejecting it does not make any sense either.
Do you would like to know if you are overweight? Take a determining tape and do the test. For males, a waist circumference of more than 94 centimeters is viewed as obese, for females this circumference is 80 centimeters. If you are above these worths, it is really 5 to twelve, no matter how old you are. Make certain you rapidly lose 5 or 10 kilos for your health.
You do not drive your car without fuel. Sensible, but the body likewise requires constant fuel. Where automobiles can work on gas, diesel, gas or electrical energy, the human body requires 3 different fuels. These are carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Carbohydrates can be found in bread, pasta, noodles, potatoes, rice, grain items, fruit, veggies and all sugary products such as sugary foods, chocolate, pastries, cookies and ready-to-eat sauces.
Unsaturated fats have a favorable effect on your health and can be found in nuts, seeds, fatty fish, avocado and olive oil.
Hydrogenated fats such as treats from the deep fryer or frying and cooking fat, on the other hand, have a negative result on your health.
Proteins are necessary foundation for the body and can be found in meat, egg, fish, and to a lesser degree in nuts, seeds and beans.
All these kinds of fuels have a various effect on your body. This impact is very important if you wish to drop weight and certainly if you want to eliminate your tummy fat!
Healthy fats and proteins do not trigger obese. There has been a great deal of clinical evidence in current decades that consuming too many carbs is the primary reason for excess body fat!
A different classification of carbs are the sugars. Sugar is commonly utilized but does not contain any nutrients and nearly only calories.
The effect of sugar is that it says to your body that it needs to stop to burn fat and that fat needs to start to store. The fact that sugars have started to play a massive role in our diet is revealed by the fact that a person hundred years ago the typical sugar intake was 2 kilos per year. Fifty years later, this had actually risen to 6 kilos.
In 2016 we take in on average 65 kilos of sugar!!
And sugar is not only bad for the line … Sugar is also linked to numerous health problems such as cancer, cardiac arrest and it is bad for the advancement of the brain.
The procedure that leads to stubborn belly fat.
The process that results in the development of tummy fat is not brain surgery. After taking in carbohydrates, these are straight transformed into energy by your digestion organs. This energy is called glucose. However, too much glucose in your blood is dangerous.
To bring glucose to the best location, your body instantly makes the hormonal agent insulin. Insulin first carries the glucose to your liver and muscle cells to supply it. The core is that the wrong carbs are rapidly absorbed and the primary cause is a high insulin worth. They disrupt your hormonal balance and make sure that you save fat in all parts of your body.
Our body is set to endure from development. Unlike in the past, the next meal was no certainty. In order to survive, carbs that are not required for direct combustion are stored because of that.
However if you do not provide your body these carbohydrates, you do not need to save them. Thankfully, a low-carbohydrate diet does not indicate that you can not consume carbs at all. Get rid of just the unneeded from your diet plan and you feel energetic and fit while the excess pounds vanish like snow in the sun.
To settle at last with too much stubborn belly fat and the organ fat that is inextricably connected to it, the next steps are a great start.
The initial step is to change your consuming and way of life. A routine and steady consuming pattern is required. You do not burn stubborn belly fat if you do not eat frequently. The engine should keep running, that is the very best for your combustion.
An additional benefit is that you are less most likely to go hungry and for that reason do not have the tendency to treat unhealthily.
Eliminate (improved) sugar directly from your diet plan and see your stubborn belly fat melt away! A recent study revealed that you can anticipate the most fat loss around the abdomen (l) and waist.
The 2nd step is to consume much healthier and more reasonable, that suggests less carbs, healthier fats and enough protein, then the tummy will disappear.
A next step is the most familiar, moving, moving and once again moving. During sports, the abdominal fat and organ fat is first utilized to supply energy.
It does not matter what you are going to do, running, walking, biking, cardio in the gym on for example an exercise bike or spinning bike. If it is possible half an hour a day, but much better it is double.
Another crucial product is sleep. This is often underestimated, however research has revealed that individuals who sleep 6 to 7 hours a night, build up less body fat in five years than individuals who sleep less or longer.
Finally, decrease stress. Stress causes a greater production of the hormone cortisol, which provides extra storage of the dangerous organ fat. De-stress by relaxing sufficiently, taking time on your own and watching on the work/ private balance.
The most important step is to consume less carbs. Carbohydrates can be divided into 2 groups.
On the one hand, the complex carbs, which are found in fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, seeds, wild rice, sweet potato and oatmeal.
On the other hand, the basic carbohydrates, which can be found in sugar, (cake, sugary foods, pastries), crisps, white bread, pasta, white rice, potatoes, soft drinks, processed dairy products and fruit juices from the pack.
And it is these easy carbohydrates that make your blood glucose level rise at breakneck speed and hence supply more tummy fat. Carbohydrates are certainly not restricted, just make sure that you do not get too many singles.
fruit (approximately two pieces each day).
fish (especially cold water fish, herring, mackerel, sardines and salmon).
healthy carbs (quinoa, sweet potatoes and, to a lower degree, oatmeal and couscous).
You can likewise think about changing bread for breakfast with eg oatmeal with almond milk and blueberries or salad with pieces of avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, spinach and boiled egg. And soft drinks can be much better replaced with water or tea.
Every modification begins with an understanding of the existing situation and a goal for the future. This short article contributed to the very first. You now know how unsafe belly fat is. It is now as much as you to obtain begun.
A few last pointers. Get the right messages in your home: you can not eat exactly what you do not buy. There suffice parts of the supermarket that you can easily avoid. Likewise ensure you have a variety of healthy treats at your fingertips. Slimming down indicates that you sometimes get yearnings. Do not drop the old error, however make certain that a variety of healthy alternatives are prepared.

Amartya Sen, The Idea of Justice, Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 2009, 496 pp.
[However, t]he leaders of thought in the Enlightenment did not [...] speak with one voice. In fact, there is a substantial dichotomy between two different lines of reasoning about justice that can be seen among two groups of leading philosophers associated with the radical thought of the Enlightenment period. One approach concentrated on identifying perfectly just social arrangements, and took the characterisation of "just institutions" to be the principal – and often the only identified – task of the theory of justice.
Woven in different ways around the idea of a hypothetical "social contract", major contributions were made in this line of thinking by Thomas Hobbes in the 17th century, and later by John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Immanuel Kant, among others. The contractarian approach has become the dominant influence in contemporary political philosophy, led by the most prominent political philosopher of our time, John Rawls – whose classic book of 1971, A Theory of Justice, presents a definitive statement on the social contract approach to justice. The principal theories of justice in contemporary political philosophy draw in one way or another on the social contract approach, and concentrate on the search for ideal social institutions.
In contrast, a number of other Enlightenment theorists (Adam Smith, Condorcet, Mary Wollstonecraft, Karl Marx and John Stuart Mill, for example) took a variety of approaches that shared an interest in making comparisons between different ways in which people's lives may go, jointly influenced by the working of institutions, people's actual behaviour, their social interactions, and other factors that significantly impact on what actually happens. The analytical, and rather mathematical, discipline of "social choice theory" – which can be traced to the works of Condorcet in the 18th century, but has been developed in the present form under the leadership of Kenneth Arrow in the last century – belongs to this second line of investigation. That approach, suitably adapted, can make a substantial contribution, I believe, to addressing questions about the enhancement of justice and the removal of injustice in the world.
In this alternative approach, we don't begin by asking what a perfectly just society would look like, but asking what remediable injustices could be seen on the removal of which there would be a reasoned agreement. "In the little world in which children have their existence," says Pip in Great Expectations, "there is nothing so finely perceived, and finely felt, as injustice." In fact, the strong perception of manifest injustice applies to adult human beings as well. What moves us is not the realisation that the world falls short of being completely just, which few of us expect, but that there are clearly remediable injustices around us which we want to eliminate.
This is evident enough in our day-to-day life, with inequities or subjugations from which we may suffer and which we have good reason to resent; but it also applies to more widespread diagnoses of injustice in the wider world in which we live. One of the limitations of the social contract approach to justice, which is so pervasive in contemporary political philosophy, is the unjustified conviction that there could only be one precise combination of principles that could serve as the basis of ideal social institutions. In contrast with this rigid insistence, a social choice approach allows the possibility of a plurality of competing principles, each of which is given a status, after being subjected to critical scrutiny.
Thanks to this plurality, we may not be able to resolve on grounds of justice alone all the questions that may be asked: for example, whether a 40% top tax rate is more just – or less just – than a 41% top rate. And yet we have every reason to try to see whether we can get reasoned agreement on removing what can be identified as clear injustice in the world, such as slavery, or the subjugation of women, or extreme exploitation of vulnerable labour (which so engaged Adam Smith, Condorcet and Mary Wollstonecraft, and later Karl Marx and John Stuart Mill), or gross medical neglect of the bulk of the world population today (through the absence of medical facilities in parts of Africa or Asia, or a lack of universal health coverage in most countries in the world, including the US), or the prevalence of torture (which continues to be used with remarkable frequency in the contemporary world – sometimes practised by pillars of the global establishment), or the quiet tolerance of chronic hunger (for example in India, despite the successful abolition of famines).
The idea of justice demands comparisons of actual lives that people can lead, rather than a remote search for ideal institutions. That is what makes the idea of justice relevant as well as exciting in practical reasoning.

For Love of Boxes and Chests: Red corner boxes
While looking at NW Coast Native artifacts, every day I see new objects for the first time and fall in love, and I see old familiar ones for the hundredth time and fall in love all over again, but among Northwest Coast Native artifacts my first and enduring love is bentwood boxes and chests.
I'm eternally fascinated by how the Indigenous cultures of our coast came up with the idea of taking a plank, cutting kerfs in it, steaming it until it becomes malleable, then bending the plank to form the four sides of a box, chest or bowl. In the old days the corner where the two ends met were stitched together with spruce root and sometimes sinew. A bottom was pegged on and a lid was fashioned. Boxes are taller than they are wide, and usually square (although there are a few which vary in shape from the norm) while chests are wider than tall, and bowls have their own individual dimensions according to their use.
Many of these containers were left unadorned and served as daily functional objects. Boxes were used for food and household storage, cooking and transporting other items. Chests most frequently held regalia and large ceremonial objects. Bowls were used as communal serving dishes.
There are red corner boxes, which were used primarily for food storage and cooking. Each has the length of the four corners painted red and the lids bear a geometric design which I believe was a design "owned" by a family and allowed for quick identification of their boxes amongst many others at feasts, much as we label our dishes for retrieval at a potluck. Many red corner boxes, as well as other boxes and chests were made water tight by sealing them with seal blood and oil mixed with roasted, ground clam shells. Sometimes a similar method was employed using salmon eggs instead of seal blood and oil (de Laguna, 1972. p. 420). These water tight boxes were then used for storing water, of which there were always many inside the entrance to a house, for storing foodstuffs and used as cooking boxes. The cook filled the box with water into which hot rocks were dropped to heat the water and cook the ingredients.
Red corner boxes always please me; they are such a statement of economical function and versatility. I love the deceptive simplicity of their construction and ornamentation. I always imagine a woman with many red corner boxes couldn't help but feel wealthy.
The center box is contemporary, carved and bent by Felix Solomon, painted by Melonie Ancheta.
The other two are old boxes.

Jayasri Piyalal, Director, Finance Section, UNI Global Asia-Pacific argues that the practice of Buddhist compassion and wisdom would help to create a better world of decent work and decent rewards. He is talking here at the launch of 'Lotus Talks' in Singapore on 15 May 2015.
Cambodia, has a long history of Buddhism and is the custodian of a rich Buddhist heritage. Yet, all this was almost destroyed by the "genocidal" Khmer Rouge regime of Pol Pot from 1975-1979. When the regime was overthrown by the invading Vietnamese forces, there were hardly any Buddhist monks left in the country. But, since then, Cambodians have restored their Buddhist monasteries and much of their traditions. In this panel discussion, some of the actors in this great revival of Buddhism talks about those dark days and how Buddhism was revived in the country and the challenges they face now.
Taking part in the discussion are: Ven Oeun Sam Art, Vice Dean, Preah Sihanouk Raja Buddhist University, Ven Kou Sopheap, Lecturer at Pannasastra University of Cambodia, Pou Sovachana, Lecturer Ethic and Political Science, Pannasastra University of Cambodia, Prof Roath Kim Soeum, Retired Politial Scientist and Ven. Nhab Tat, Personal Aid Protocol of Sangharaja of Cambodia.

The Promised Neverland Season 2: Is there an official release date?
By Pavneet Kaur January 29, 2023 Updated: January 31, 2023 No Comments2 Mins Read
Fans have been excited for The Promised Neverland season 2 ever since it was due to release in 2020.
The anime series premiered in early 2019 and became an instant hit among the viewers.
It is a Manga adaptation by CloverWorks.
The premiere of the new season is set for October 2020, which is a big sigh of relief for all the eager fans.
The plot of Season One
Season one of the show revolves around a group of orphaned children who live happily together in an orphanage.
The orphanage is full of dark secrets and dishonest conduct.
So, they decide to escape from it to look for a better life.
The story is covered in twelve episodes.
After a successful season one, the fans want to see what season 2 will bring for Ray, Emma, and Norman.
Expected Release Date of The Promised Neverland Season 2
The first season was released in January 2019. It ended in March 2019.
The same month the creators announced that the sequel was in the making.
Season 2 of Promised Neverland will soon release in October 2020.
What do we know about The Promised Neverland Season 2?
In the first season, the children escaped successfully from the orphanage.
But, they ended up in the demon forest.
Now there are obvious reasons for it being evil and called demon forest.
Season two will revolve more around Emma's journey.
We will see if she will be able to keep her promises.
According to the producer, Kenta Suzuki, season 2 will be different from season 1.
Season 1 was more about their struggles with the escape.
There isn't much information about season 2 out there.
Everything is a hush and under the wrap for now.
Meanwhile, you can watch the first season of the show on Hulu. Get the trial period of Hulu if you are a first time user.

Mod-A-Day: Merton Parkas
In 1979 when everyone and his brother was trying to put together a mod band to ride the revival, two brothers did exactly that. The Merton Parkas were founded by brothers Danny and Mick Talbot, and rounded out by Simon Smith and Neil Hurrell. The band has always faced a mixed reaction from mods. Most either loved them, or hated them, there seemed to be little in between.
Like most of the mod groups of the day they started out covering loads of sixties R&B and soul songs, and did some pretty good covers, most notably "Band of Gold" and a surprsingly garagey cover The Monkees' "Steppin' Stone". They also did some really horrid covers like an almost completely soulless "In the Midnight Hour". Thier blend of pub rock, sixties soul and power pop helped establish them as mod favorites, but won them little critical acclaim.
The band did release a number of decent singles, the most prominent of which was "You Need Wheels" which hit #40 on the UK charts giving the band a bona fide hit. The single here "Plastic Smile" lter appeared on their sole album 1979's Face in the Crowd. A year later the band was kaput. Simon Smith went on to play with Carpettes, Mood Six and The Wedding Present. But it would be Mick Talbot that really made something of himself first keyboarding for Dexy's Midnight Runners and then very sucessful number of years as the second half of the heart of The Style Council, and later moving into acid jazz with Galliano.

Ceramic tile manufacturers are seeing how the Xaar 2001+ printhead is revolutionising tile decoration this week at Tecnargilla 2018, where Xaar is exhibiting the printhead on its stand (#194 in Kromatech Hall C1).
The Xaar 2001 is proving to be a hit in Asia, where it has been enabling tile manufacturers to get ahead and provide a real point of differentiation. For example, customers of OEM Foshan New King Time (#175 in Hall C3), which uses the Xaar 2001+ for its King Jet printer, are benefitting hugely from the fine details and strong colours it produces. One of these, Inol Group, recently upgraded ten of its printers to the Xaar 2001+.
Inol Group previously struggled to differentiate its tiles from those of other manufacturers – but with the Xaar 2001+, this is no longer the case. Thanks to the printhead's 720 dpi resolution, capable of replicating the smallest features and subtlest of gradients, even Inol's lighter coloured tiles such as jade designs now truly stand out, while the increase in print quality has enabled the company to make more complex designs.
The print quality produced by the Xaar 2001+ can also be seen in the range of tiles, provided by Scientifica Tiles LLP, on display at the Xaar stand. Scientifica Tiles is among the growing number of tile manufacturers in Asia to have adopted the Xaar 2001 printhead as well as High Laydown Technology. Combined, these produce vibrant designs as well as high-impact effects such as gloss, adhesive, lustre and metallic.
Gerard Winn, Senior Product Manager at Xaar, is on the Xaar stand throughout the show: "As the most versatile printhead for ceramic tile decoration today, the Xaar 2001+ is the only solution that can meet all creative requirements and ensure tile manufacturers get ahead of the competition," he says. "This is the reason for the growing uptake of this printhead across Asia.

Way to a Happy, Free and Prosperous Society
Remarks delivered by Retired Chief Justice ARTEMIO V. PANGANIBAN in response to the lecture delivered by Joan S. Largo, Dean of the University of San Carlos School of Law and Governance and President of the Philippine Association of Law Schools on October 17, 2018 at the Buttenbruch Hall of the University of San Carlos, Cebu City.
Let me begin by saying how amazed I am that just a few days after Dean Joan S. Largo arrived from, to quote her, "a learning visit on clinical education" in the United States, she was ready with a scholarly and authoritative lecture, backed by a PowerPoint, that she just delivered so eloquently before this appreciative audience of the best and brightest legal minds in Cebu.
I thank her and her colleagues in the Philippine Association of Law Schools (PALS), which she now heads, for their support of my philosophy of liberty and prosperity under the rule of law and of my advocacy for a writ of prosperity. With such display of unity in the academe, I believe, in time, we can successfully craft well-vetted "Rules of the Writ of Prosperity" that we can propose for the promulgation of our Supreme Court.
In her lecture, Dean Largo focused on the constitutional provisions on social justice and human rights which the government, particularly the political branches, have not been able to implement and enforce. She emphasized, and rightly so, on the need to arm the least, the last and the lost: the dirt poor, the marginalized and the powerless with a way to compel our government to uplift their plight. She cited the efforts of the highest courts of other countries, like South Africa, Argentina and Columbia, in using their authority to help alleviate the poor's angst, pain and suffering.
Simple but profound truth
In my response to Dean Largo, let me also cite other countries to drive to home an analogous point, this time no longer a plea for direct assistance or dole-outs in terms of "conditional transfers" of cash, or cheap rice, or communal housing, or socialized medicine.
Taking off from a speech I delivered before the Asean Law Association a few years ago, let me begin with a famous quotation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "If a man does not have a job or an income, he has neither life nor liberty nor the possibility for the pursuit of happiness." Let me repeat that, "If a man does not have a job or an income, he has neither life nor liberty nor the possibility for the pursuit of happiness."
It may seem ironic that I should be citing an American civil rights icon in this august audience of patriotic Filipinos, but like Dean Largo who cited foreign jurisprudence to buttress her cause, I did so not because of Dr. King's nationality, color, gender or religion. I quoted him because of the truth he said so simply yet so profoundly.
I cited him because precisely of my belief that truth is eternal and limitless; that truth is not bound by sovereignty, or territory, or ideology, or legality; that what is true in America is also true in the Philippines, in Africa, in South America and in the world. And that that truth is this: humans need both justice and jobs; freedom and food; ethics and economics; peace and development; liberty and prosperity; these twin beacons must always go together; one is useless without the other.
Now, even in retirement, I still continue my advocacy for these twin beacons of liberty and prosperity. Thus in 2011, five years after my retirement from the judiciary, when I celebrated my 75th birthday, I organized the Foundation for Liberty and Prosperity, which now sponsors several educational programs, namely, 13 professorial chairs in various law schools, 20 full law scholarships at P200,000 each, in which some USC students are recipients, and a dissertation contest, in which a USC student, Tess Marie Tan, won the second place, second only to Raphael Pangalangan, a Filipino graduate student of the University of Oxford in Great Britain, who copped the first place.
To repeat, there are certain truths that transcend sovereignties, territories, ideologies and legalities. And one of those truths is this: The best way to conquer poverty, to create wealth and to share prosperity is to unleash the entrepreneurial genius of people by granting them the freedom and the tools to help themselves and society.
Saving the fisherman
Let me push my thesis further by quoting a popular adage from Confucius, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Indeed, to save a fisherman from destitution, we must help him learn how to fish more effectively. We must educate him in the skills needed to catch fish more efficiently, assist him in acquiring a boat, allow him the freedom to sail the vast oceans, and teach him the techniques to market the fish he catches.
Sometimes, some of us fear that the fisherman may get lost and die in the storms that batter the seas; or that he may become selfish and would want to own the entire ocean and its vast resources; or that he may become too rich and powerful and metamorphose into a rival, an enemy, or worse, a master. Such fears of possible misjudgments may indeed happen some of the time. Human arrogance, greed and avarice lurk in all undertakings. But they are the exceptions rather than the rule. We must never stop dreaming for fear that reality may shatter our dreams. We must admit that risks and challenges form part of the interesting reality of being human.
On the other hand, I respectfully believe that the goal of governance and of law is to provide guarantees and incentives to help the fisherman prosper, to create the institutions to support him, and to promulgate minimal regulations to prevent him from appropriating all the fishing grounds, from keeping all the earnings to himself and from forgetting his obligation to pay reasonable taxes to the government. Indeed, government must inspire him to share his consequential wealth with the rest of society.
Validating the truth
Let me take you briefly around the world to validate this simple truth. The United States, the most powerful country in the world and the great promoter of liberal democracy, attained affluence because of the pioneers who defied monarchical tyrannies and started a new nation that unleashed the inventive, innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of people like Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan, and lately of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, as well of great government leaders like Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and Barack Obama who provided them with the encouragement to attain their dreams and the good governance to contain their greed and share their wealth.
Then, let us go to China, the second most powerful economy in the world and the prime promoter of the communist system. True, Mao Zedong led the masses in a revolt that dislodged the corrupt and inefficient government born of an outdated monarchy. But it was Deng Xiaoping who led this nation to unparalleled economic prosperity by unleashing the entrepreneurial ingenuity of the Chinese under his "One-Country-Two-Systems" philosophy.
Finally, let me bring you to Korea. As a result of World War II, this country was divided into North and South, which unfortunately could not accept their division and engaged in a terrible war that ruined their economies and impoverished their people. Rising from the ruins, South Korea relied on the entrepreneurial spirit of the Korean people and built on their private initiative as well as on the notion that innovation, creativity, freedom and hard work would enable them to conquer their poverty, provide for their family's well-being and attain affluence.
In contrast, North Korea – despite its technological and military bravado – wallows in abject poverty as a result of its tight grip on creativity and inordinate fear of the entrepreneurship, education, freedom and prosperity of its people.
Entrepreneurship in the Philippines
I believe that given the same climate of free enterprise, our people can rise to the challenges of innovation, creativity and ingenuity and free themselves of extreme poverty, disease, malnutrition and disability. All they need is a government that affords opportunities for education instead of habitual mendicancy, fosters free competition instead of suffocating regulations, and rewards talent and hard work instead of sycophancy and connection.
The best proofs of this assertion are our overseas Filipino workers. Our engineers, technicians and house helps are treasured in Europe and the Middle East. Our professionals, doctors and nurses, succeed much better than many natives in the United States, Canada and Australia. In fact, the average Filipino professionals earn more than the average Caucasians in those countries. Moreover, they are law-abiding, they observe strict traffic rules simply because these rules are enforced evenly and fairly.
Yes, I conclude this response to Dean Largo with the firm belief that if our Filipino brethren are accord liberty, prosperity and the rule of law, they will use their entrepreneurial ingenuity to uplift themselves from destitution, disease and disability. Our responsibility – as leaders of the academe and the legal profession – is how we can harness the rule of law to enable them to form and enjoy a happy, free and prosperous society.
Maraming salamat po.

Leap Like Me with Lisa Hoashi is a weekly podcast about the leaps people take in life to go after what they really want. Their leaps include taking a sabbatical; a radical career change; launching a creative or entrepreneurial project; and moving somewhere new. Here they share their biggest fears, obstacles, surprises and payoffs when they took their leap.
Doug from the Who's Right podcast needs our help. Doug and his family live in North Carolina and they were lucky enough to escape Hurricane Florence to the safety of Virginia.
He was informed that everything he owned was taken by the hurricane. His home is 100% underwater due to the surge of the ocean and his family lost everything. Insurance will not cover his loss and he and his family are without a place to live, lost three cars, furniture, and are financially devastated by the storm.

Q: Cannot Access Global PHP Variable in jQuery.ajax call in MediaWiki I'm running into trouble accessing global variables when I make an AJAX call to a php function in the MediaWiki framework.
My jQuery AJAX call looks like this:
jQuery.ajax({
    url: 'GeneralFunctions.php',
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: 'json',
    data: {
        text: anchorText
    },
    success: function (data) {
        alert("data: " + data);
    }
});

My GeneralFunctions.php file looks like this:
<?php
if (isset($_GET['text'])) {
    jsonInlineParse((string) $_GET['text']);
}
function jsonInlineParse($wikiText)
{
    global $wgOut;
    $return = $wgOut->parseInline($wikiText); //fails here
    echo json_encode($return);
}
?>

When I run the jQuery call through a click event I get as far as the parseInline() function. The global variable is never defined in the scope and I get the error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function parseInline() on a non-object in /path/to/file/GeneralFunctions.php  on line 54
I'm not sure how to make the parse call and define the global variable when the AJAX call is made?
UPDATE
$wgOut is the OutputPage object associated with MediaWiki. It holds all the HTML of the page and is used throughout the MediaWiki framework to add content to a page or article. It is used on the server side to create customized output for wiki articles. I use it to create forms or add HTML on many of our wikis.
More info here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgOut
UPDATE 2
@Juhana I changed my function to look like this which results in the same error as before. Each echo outputs "NULL".
<?php
function jsonInlineParse($wikiText)
{
    include_once '/path/to/file/includes/OutputPage.php';
    include_once '/path/to/file/includes/parser/Parser.php';
    echo var_dump($wgOut);
    global $wgOut;
    echo var_dump($wgOut);

    $return = $wgOut->parseInline($wikiText);
    echo $return;
    echo json_encode($return);
}
?>

A: I took a different approach after running into global variable problems. I changed the AJAX call I was making and the code below works very well for me. I'm using the editable jquery table you can find here.
PHP
function ajax_parse(){
        global $wgRequest;
        if($wgRequest->wasPosted()){
            $text = $wgRequest->getVal("text");
            wfDebug("Recieving::::".$text);
            if(!strpos($text, "href")){
                $text = myInlineParse($text);
                $text = str_replace("<pre>", "", $text);
                $text = str_replace("</pre>", "", $text);
            }
            wfDebug("Returning::::".$text);
            echo $text;
        }
        exit;
    }

function myInlineParse( $wikiText ) {
    global $wgOut;
    return $wgOut->parseInline( $wikiText );
}

JavaScript
// inject wikitext after hitting save
function postSave(o) {
var response = new Array("");
for(var i=0;i<o.row.length;i++){
     new Ajax.Request(wgScript +'/Special:EditClass/ajax_parse',
    {
        asynchronous: false,
        parameters: {'text': o.row[i].innerHTML},
        onSuccess: function(text){
            response.push(text.responseText);
        }
    }
    );
}

return response;
}

A: For whatever reasons, extensions don't seem to have access to $wgOut. I solved this for my extension by using the hook: OutputPageParserOutput for the code I needed output (I needed to inject some scripts and stylesheets as well as using another hook to modify links and didn't want to bother with Resource_Loader though it is useful and recommended):
$wgHooks['OutputPageParserOutput'][] = array($this, 'doOutputPageParserOutput'); // 'doOutputPageParserOutput' defined as method in my class

As with other hooks, you can get rid of the array in favor of just a function name if you don't want to execute within a class.

When people think of Chinese New Year, they usually associate it with wealth, health, and prosperity. However, sometimes we also tend to forget that "good fortune" could also mean the abundance of wonderful people in our lives.
I have often pondered upon the mystery of "Yuan (缘)", the Chinese word that means serendipity in English – a concept described as "the "binding force" that links two persons together in any relationship". Serendipity also means "finding something good without looking for it". This is true for me. I have been blessed with a life full of supportive and amazing family, friends, and colleagues.
This is the story of Melinda Looi and how she started her collaboration with Amber Chia.
When I was only 5 years old back in the second millennium, fate brought Amber Chia and Melinda Looi together. Amber was just a young model then, and Melinda had just started out in the fashion business. Over the years, their paths crossed many times, mainly at events and fashion shows. Today, they are mothers, businesswomen and relative veterans in the fashion industry. Melinda believes that "yuan" (serendipity) led to their first meeting, and that it is the reason why they are working together on a Chinese New Year collection, ML x AC (Melinda Looi and Amber Chia) today.
Yuan: The Beauty of Serendipity is a collection that celebrates friendships and relationships. Melinda used bright, auspicious and "happy" colours combined with different fabrics to represent the many faces and personalities of people that touch our lives.
Yellow signifies hope, happiness, cheerfulness and fun; green is for love of family and friends; coral is for warmth and vitality; blue is for trust and peace; and purple stands for for compassion and respect. There is serious and structured jacquard, light chiffon, elegant satin, and casual yet versatile cotton.
I personally think that Yuan: The Beauty of Serendipity is a collection that goes beyond the usual Chinese New Year offerings. Amber and Melinda designed this collection so that busy ladies like them can wear the pieces for all kinds of occasions by just dressing it up or down with accessories.
From traditional and elegant qipao, youthful dresses with an oriental touch, roomy A-lined blouses to modern structured vest and pants suitable for the office - there is always something to suit all kinds of body types and personalities.
Of course, one of the most important things that "yuan" (serendipity) brought to us is our beloved family. Amber and Melinda love to dress their children up, so they designed a range of fun, casual polos for the family. They have polo tees for men, women, little boys, and girls, as well as adorable matching mother/daughter polo dresses.
You can get 50% off for buying the collection by Melinda Looi and Amber Chia today!

With very few exceptions, you must be formally organized as a nonprofit corporation under the laws of a particular state in order to be eligible for a federal tax exemption. Information about forming a nonprofit corporation can be found here.
Assuming that your nonprofit organization has been established as public charity with a 501(c)(3) purpose, you do not have to apply for federal tax exemption if the organization's gross receipts are normally less than $5,000 per taxable year.
Note that if your nonprofit corporation brings in more than the $5,000 threshold, it must file Form 1023 (Application for Recognition of Exemption) within 90 days of the end of the year.
A solid understanding of what the IRS is looking for in an application for tax exempt status. See our Guide to the IRS decision-making process for journalism organizations. There are many potential pitfalls in this process. We strongly recommend reviewing this guide before applying for an exemption.
Every organization that qualifies for 501(c)(3) exempt status is further classified into a public charity or a private foundation. Private foundations are subject to different tax obligations and the IRS imposes additional restrictions and requirements on them. In all likelihood, you will want your nonprofit organization to avoid being classified as a private foundation. To do so, you must give notice to the IRS that your organization is a public charity. You do this in Part X of 1023, usually by checking the box next to Line 5g, 5h, or 5i (depending on the nature of your funding).
While waiting for the IRS to approve your application, your nonprofit corporation may operate as a tax-exempt organization. When you file your annual federal and state information returns for your nonprofit corporation, note that your 501(c)(3) application is pending IRS approval.
If you have not completed a tax year of at least 8 months at the time of application, you must ask for an advance ruling.
The IRS will issue an advance ruling if it believes that the information you have submitted qualifies your nonprofit organization for tax-exempt status. After five years, the IRS will again look at your nonprofit corporation's annual information returns to evaluate whether the nonprofit corporation has been operating according to the requirements set forth in 501(c)(3). At this point, the IRS will issue a determination letter containing a definitive ruling, in which it will either reject your application or recognize your nonprofit corporation's exempt status and provide its public charity classification.
If you have completed a tax year of at least 8 months at the time of application, you may ask for a definitive ruling or an advance ruling.
Although advance rulings are tentative, they do have certain advantages. They are easier and faster to obtain, and at the end of the process, the IRS has the benefit of five years of actual operation details on which to base its conclusion. If you are an established nonprofit that clearly qualifies for public charity status, you may want to take the risk and request a definitive ruling. However, the better option for most nonprofit organizations is to request an advance ruling. You will have to weigh your options and figure out which one works best for you.
Note that the determination letter is an important document that should be filed in the corporate records book. Additionally, read the determination letter carefully. If you have any questions about its contents, call the IRS in order to completely understand how the IRS classifies your nonprofit corporation. If the letter describes your nonprofit corporation as a private foundation, seek legal help immediately to understand the implications of such a classification.
Remember that your application is not only going to be read by the IRS, but also (at least potentially) by members of the public.

Steph Curry On Track As He Set Another 'Mind Blowing' Record In NBA History This Season
The NBA's 50/40/90 club is one of the most exclusive lists in sports. Reserved for those who shoot at least 50% from the field, 40% from deep, and 90% from the line during a season, only nine players in NBA history have accomplished this incredible feat. Having joined this group in 2016, when he was the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry became the first player to ever average 30 PPG during a 50/40/90 season. Larry Bird was a narrow miss in 1988, averaging 29.9 PPG, but Curry became the first to ever average at least 30 PPG on 50/40/90 splits. Now seven seasons removed from that historic campaign, Curry is not only still dominating, but he has somehow gotten better. Currently averaging 33.3 PPG on 52.6% from the field, 44.0% from deep, and 91.0% from the line, Curry is on pace to shatter his own record for the most PPG in a 50/40/90 season.
While it is still very early, Curry is on pace to enter a stratosphere that only he himself has neared. It seems only fitting that at this point in his career that many of the records he is breaking are his own. With a historically great start to this season, Curry is on pace to average the most points per contest of any 50/40/90 season ever. There is a lot of basketball to be played between now and the end of the year, but Curry could not have started any better this season. Steph Curry will look to stay hot when the Warriors face the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night.

Winston Churchill's painting Scene at Marrakech will be auctioned at Christie's in March
Sir Winston Churchill, Scene at Marrakech, Courtesy - Christie's
Christie's Modern British Art Evening, on March 1, 2021, will see Sir Winston Churchill's Scene at Marrakech, circa 1935, estimated for Rs2cr – Rs.4cr (£300,000-500,000) go for sale.
Churchill had gifted the painting to Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, who was one of the most distinguished generals of the Second World War and played a vital role in the retreat from the battle of Dunkirk, which saved many lives. The painting, which until now remained with the Montgomery family since it was gifted by Churchill is being offered at the auction for the first time ever.
Sir Winston Churchill, Scene at Marrakech, Courtesy – Christie's
Nick Orchard, Head of Department, Modern British Art, Christie's: "Sir Winston Churchill's gift of his painting, Scene at Marrakech, to Field Marshal Montgomery symbolises the deep respect and friendship the Prime Minister held for his general; a man who led the British army and was key to the victory for the allied forces in the Second World War. An accomplished artist as well as a celebrated political figure, the work stands among the best paintings executed by Churchill in the 1930s. It is an honour for Christie's to offer Scene at Marrakech as a highlight in our Modern British Art Evening Sale, and we look forward to exhibiting the work publicly for the first time in its history in February and March 2021."
Scene at Marrakech is inspired by Churchill's 1935 visit to Morocco, his first to the country where the warmth and quality of light moved him. It's one of his more accomplished works of this subject matter, depicting the chromatic intensity of the warm desert sand harmoniously contrasting with the blue stream in the foreground. The vivid greens of the vegetation in the background bring colour, life and energy to the otherwise typically sparse landscape of this scene in Morocco.

Kerr, Morrison, Buffalo. son of James and Martha (Morrison) Kerr, was born in Cadiz, Harrison county, Ohio, January 31, 1831, and removed with his parents to Bellefontaine, Logan county, Ohio, in 1836. His education was obtained in the district schools. He engaged in farming and stock raising on the farm that had formerly been operated by his father, about two miles east of Bellefontaine, on the Walnut Grove road. In 1873 he removed to Buffalo and engaged in business as a live stock broker with his brother, Thomas L. Kerr, under the firm name of Kerr Brothers. After one or two minor changes in the personnel of the firm, covering a period of eighteen years, the present firm of M. Kerr & Son was organized. Mr. Kerr is now president of the East Buffalo Live Stock Association. In 1852 he married Mary McLaughlin, daughter of John McLaughlin, of Bellefontaine, and five children survive: Ella Maxwell, William Sprague, Emma May, Leander Brandt and Paul Lorimer.
