I tried Hot Yoga once upon a time. It was HOT and oh boy was it uncomfortable. Take a 33 degree room, add 60 sweaty bodies, and I may as well have been lying on the sun itself. My yoga mat resembled a Slip n' Slide and I was envious of my neighbour's very practical non-slip towel with those little rubber bumps on the bottom, like babies have on their socks when learning to walk.
Nothing had quite prepared me for this feeling and it made me realise; I had forgotten how to be uncomfortable.
It's natural for us humans to seek comfort. We like to be warm, well fed, surrounded by family and all those comforting things. But it's the moments we feel uncomfortable that give meaning to our lives. So, if you're serious about creating change, it's about time you get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Since that first class, the Hot Yoga room now welcomes me around four times a week and I've spent many years both practicing and teaching yoga. From the uncomfortable moments lying on my sweaty yoga mat, to dealing with the uncomfortable challenges life throws my way, I've embraced discomfort as an opportunity to grow, learn and think.
Like many things in life, yoga is a practice, not a perfect. We have to practice being uncomfortable and acknowledge how it feels so we can overcome it. The only way to do this is to take risks, try new things and frighten the pants off yourself once in a while.
What has yoga taught you about life?

Tarzan's Desert Mystery is a 1943 American Tarzan film directed by Wilhelm Thiele and starring Johnny Weissmuller and Nancy Kelly.
Like its immediate predecessor, Tarzan Triumphs, the film mentions Tarzan's mate, Jane, but does not show her on screen. The explanation for her absence, as in the earlier film, is that she is still in the United Kingdom helping the war effort. (Maureen O'Sullivan had played Jane in the first six of Weissmuller's Tarzan films, but when the character of Jane returned after a two-picture absence, she was played by Brenda Joyce, not O'Sullivan.)
At the urging of Jane, who is helping British war effort, Tarzan is tasked to locate a rare plant-derived serum to help Allied troops during World War II. Tarzan's son, Boy, manages to tag along as the ape man journeys into the Sahara, and the two are soon joined by a rambunctious horse and a travelling magician (Nancy Kelly). As they seek the area of North Africa where the plant grows, they run into trouble with Nazi spies who are trying to take over a small Arab kingdom.

For the first time I've reviewed a film for Pajiba in theaters, there weren't a few children being obnoxious throughout. It seems even those parents are unwilling to take their monstrous offspring to a film actually about an evil child. Wouldn't want to give the creatures any ideas now.
Orphan opens with a thoroughly disturbing dream sequence of a violent stillbirth that is treated almost as routine by the masked doctors and even the clueless husband, videotaping the bloody proceedings and reassuring her "you're doing great honey!" It's a grotesquely macabre way of introducing the couple at the center of the story, an over-the-top exaggeration of the issues and darkness that they have up front, so they can be hinted at effectively throughout the first half of the film.
John (Peter Sarsgaard) and Kate (Vera Farmiga) lost their third child to stillbirth and seek to adopt an older child since they have such a harder time finding a home. They find a charming young girl at an orphanage run by an order of nuns, headed up by C.C.H. Pounder, who is really making the rounds with the conclusion of "The Shield" last year. Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman) is quickly adopted by the Colemans, taken home, and introduced to their other two children, young teen son Daniel (Jimmy Bennett) and a younger deaf daughter Max (Aryana Engineer). Max is taken with the charming Esther and gradually becomes her partner in small mischief that seems like a game. Daniel is less than welcoming, not because he sees through Esther's façade, but because he's a realistically drawn teen boy, disgusted by Esther's old fashioned clothing and odder behaviors.
What makes Esther work as a horror character is that her actions make sense within the context of her own logic. She might be nuts, but she's still perfectly rational. The young actress Fuhrman does an excellent job of portraying a sociopathic youth, getting across why sociopathy is such a terrifying phenomenon. She leaps from utterly emotionless, to genuinely sweet and kind, to violently angry and back again with little more than changes in facial expression. She may be just a child, but she is terrifying precisely because she isn't creepy most of the time. You knew Damien from The Omen was fucked up from the first minute you laid eyes on him. Esther is so persuasively sweet and victimized for the first part of the film, that by half an hour into it I found myself wondering if the film was setting up a double twist in which Esther was not actually crazy at all. She nervously learns bits and pieces of sign language on the way home for the first time to talk to her new deaf sister. She is articulate and persuasive about why she likes to wear old fashioned clothes. She is terrorized by the other girls and boys at school, breaking down into horrifying screams. Fuhrman throughout seems like a much older actress than her 12 years. Without spoiling anything, the last half hour of the film sees her put on a phenomenally disturbing transformation.
The last quarter of the film has significant plotting problems though, which keep the film from being nearly as good in sum as the excellence of many of its parts might suggest. It falls into the horror trope of revealing everything with half an hour or so left and then trapping the characters in the dark house at night, jumping at shadows, and fighting the suddenly unstoppable boogeyman. There is no suspense but who will die and how, and which apparent death of the antagonist will actually stick. Horror film makers: quit doing this. Retire the showdown-in-the-dark-house ending and use that half an hour for actual advancement of the plot. Throw in another twist for good measure, or hold off fully revealing the twist for a bit longer.
All in all, this was a much better film than I expected from its trailer and press, which just seemed to be for the vaguely ominous "evil child" movie that seems to come out every year or two. The acting and slow build up of characterization and tension in the first half are masterfully done and well worth watching, but be prepared to be disappointed with the clichéd ending. I am now going to get a black light though to double check all of my step-daughter's drawings for invisible murderous additions.


Last week I warned you to beware the God Complex, the arrogant and psychopathic Western mindset that wants to transform the natural order and place itself in a preeminent position to be the determiner, creator and controller of all life on this planet and any other worlds within their reach. I wrote about their mathematical algorithms and how they use them to design and create programs and applications to run robots, automatons, financial transactions and their surveillance state, how these algorithms have their biases, prejudices and world view programmed into them.
The Western world view is primarily materialistic. It mainly recognizes matter but begrudgingly recognizes there is something (they don't know what, nor do they give it its pops) that animates animals and plants. Their deepest thinkers like Albert Einstein recognized energy is at the heart and core of all matter (E=mc2), that matter is really solidified energy. But they fail to recognize this energy is intelligent, omnipresent that it resonates at various levels of intensity or that it has consciousness. It is THE CREATOR but the aspiritual Europeans have an anthropomorphic idea of god and their idea of god is mean vindictive and blood thirsty.
Westerners focus primarily on the material, the mass of matter and since they cannot readily see the energy (except through their machines) nor discern the intelligence inherent in it, they say talking about such things is "nonsense". Being psychopaths they eschew the notion of cosmic consequences; you reap what you sow.
Recently Westerners came up with the idea they could invade DNA cells, clip, cut or inject material into a cell to alter how it acts within the host (plant, animal or human). They call this process Genome Editing, gene editing or CRISPR-Cas9, short for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated protein 9. Western scientists are excited because by using this technique they can, in theory, cut a strand of host DNA then use the host's DNA's cell repair process and the artificial DNA slice material they create in a laboratory they insert into the strand to alter the DNA to edit out "unwanted" traits such as certain genetic conditions/diseases.
These mad scientists are playing god implementing their racist agenda under the guise of medical advances and eliminating genetic diseases, but we know their history of death and destruction and this will end up as more of the same.


Debut albums should be triumphant and forever a standard to live up to and progress from. Hyped up underground singer/songwriter Jack Garratt's debut album, Phase, is exactly that. Channeling The Weeknd and a soulful blues sound, Garratt's debut is an explosion of color and sexuality that's bound to blow up.
The most notable part of the record is Garratt's vocals. There's something haunting in his disposition, with a hint of sensuality deep within each meaning. The closure track, 'My House Is Your Home' is raw and unprocessed, featuring only his vocals and a piano. The track is unpolished and very much raw, but there was possibly no other way to end an album all about the sentiments of all things relationship. Other songs with notable vocals include 'Weathered' with a huge gospel, making Garratt's soul sound even bigger, and 'Worry' which has some lovely R&B-esque harmonies. 'Chemical' has some folk chanting in its intro making it feel like Gaelic traditional song before becoming a disjointed electronic ballad. 'The Love You're Given' has a chilling background vocal that serves as more of a sampled instrument than anything else. The hauntingness of the sample compliments Garratt's pure vocals in the song, too. This album's lyrics are perhaps some of the best this year has seen so far; songs like 'Water' on the deluxe edition and 'I Know All What I Do' have some particularly visual lyrics, and are pure poetry.
The album is largely composed of waves of synths, and when raw instruments are used, it's more often than not piano, while some guitars are used from time to time. The intro track, 'Coalesce', has pulsating synths and a certain glitchiness to it in the outro that is reminiscent of Clarence Clarity. 'Surprise Yourself' also has a big pulsating synth, though this one has potential to be a ballad rather than a glitchy electronic wall. The album's most popular song, 'Fire', starts off quiet and sensual, but explodes into a massive track by its conclusion.
Jack Garratt's debut isn't a revolution by any means, but it is a confident recollection of being in love. He sings with the disposition of a tortured lover, begging for more but fearing it all at the same time. His powerful lyrics soar over epic electronic instrumentals, which makes Phase one of the strongest electronic albums of the year. There is so much emotion resonating from this album that its hard not to feel it. Garratt's hype didn't die down, and for good reason. He's 2016′s iteration of The Weeknd.

Nigeria's First Surveyor-General, Omoigui, Is Dead
Nigeria's first Surveyor-General of the Federation, Daniel Omoigui, is dead.
Oomogui died on Thursday 14 days after his 91st birthday, according to a statement by the family, which confirmed his death.
"The family of Surveyor Daniel Aiyanyo Omoigui of the Egite family, Isi, in Uhunmwode LGA, Edo State and the entire Egite family of the Edo Kingdom and Mrs Grace Onaiwu Omoigui nee Asemota (late) and the entire Asemota family of Ogbe Quarters, Oredo LGA, Edo State, is heartbroken yet thankful for a life of legacy well spent as we announce the passing of our dearly beloved father and grandfather – Surveyor Daniel Omoigui – who was called to rest in the Lord on November 24, 2022," the statement by his eldest son, Sota Omoigui, on Friday, read.
A chartered and registered surveyor, Omoigui was born on November 10, 1931, at Iguagban Village, Benin, Edo State.
Late Omoigui was well known for resolving critical boundary disputes among several federating units within the country.
He was instrumental to the establishment of the National Boundary Commission.
Omoigui also participated in the negotiation between Nigeria and Cameroon on the Bakassi Peninsula, a territory that was eventually ceded to Cameroon after international interventions.
Omoigui started school at the age of three in a newly established school in the village, went to a number of primary schools and in 1939, he joined Benin Baptist School, where he began from Form II.

Biden tells world: Protecting democracy 'defining challenge of our time'
Alexander Nazaryan
·Senior White House Correspondent
46th and current president of the United States
WASHINGTON — Conflicts with rival superpowers loom, while the vitriol of American politics shows no sign of abating. That was the context Thursday as President Biden opened his two-day global Summit for Democracy, with both international and domestic institutions appearing as fragile as they have ever been since Biden arrived in Washington as a young legislator in the early 1970s.
"Democracy needs champions," Biden said in his opening remarks, speaking to the leaders of 110 nations over a video link. Some of those attendees — Sweden, for example — are considered among the best-functioning democracies in the world. Others, like Israel, have struggled to maintain a functioning democracy in the face of corruption and other threats. And a few, including Poland, have taken the perilous slide back into authoritarianism.
"In my view, this is the defining challenge of our time," Biden said as Secretary of State Antony Blinken sat with him at a U-shaped desk, which faced a screen on which the images of foreign leaders were tiled. A senior administration official told reporters ahead of the summit that next year the gathering would be held in person. The official added that this year the themes would be "defending against authoritarianism, fighting corruption and advancing respect for human rights."

Foreign crises have dominated Biden's agenda in recent days. Earlier this week, the White House said it would enact a "diplomatic boycott" of the Beijing Olympics over China's treatment of Uyghurs, a Muslim population that has been forced into labor camps and subjected to other brutal measures. And on Wednesday the president met virtually with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, warning him of consequences that would result from an invasion of neighboring Ukraine.
China and Russia were not invited to the democracy summit. Neither were Turkey or Hungary. The latter country's strongman leader, Viktor Orbán, has enchanted some American conservatives with his nationalist, anti-immigration rhetoric.
Defining democracy as "fragile" but "inherently resilient," Biden pitched himself as the leader of a global renewal, even as Washington itself continues to attract political extremism. Time and again, the president has argued that passage of his ambitious — and expensive — domestic agenda is necessary to prove that even if democratic governments can be rancorous and divisive, they are nevertheless superior to authoritarian regimes like those in Moscow and Beijing.
"The United States is approaching the summit from a place of humility," a senior administration official said on Thursday morning. The administration announced it would seek $424 million for "democratic renewal" programs abroad that would include strengthening independent media outlets, combating corruption and otherwise encouraging democracy, in part by promoting greater internet access.

At the same time, the Office of Management and Budget sent a notice in support of a House of Representatives measure known as the Protecting Our Democracy Act, which seeks to prevent a president from abusing the broad, complex and sometimes vague powers of the Oval Office.
"Our constitutional structure is designed to preserve democracy and prevent authoritarianism," the OMB notice said. "That promise is imperiled when a President places himself above the law, disregards the separation of powers, retaliates against legitimate whistleblowers, allows corruption to take hold, or enables foreign interference in our elections."
The reference is plainly to Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, who courted foreign strongmen like Putin while taking steps to subvert democracy at home, according to his critics. It has fallen to Biden to restore the pre-Trump order and, in his view, the image of American leadership that Trump tarnished.
"Democracy's hard," the president said. "We all know that."

Citizenship & CSR/
Adopt a school in Nepal
In 2014, Waha Capital partnered with Dubai Cares and BuildOn to adopt a primary school in the underprivileged rural village of Sukumbase Tole, located in western Nepal. The company's donation is helping to construct and equip the elementary school, which will host 120 students, and provide the funds for two years of primary education and literacy classes for adults. In March 2014, Waha Capital volunteers were sent to engage in community service and help with the construction of the school.
Since the build of the new school, student enrollment has increased from the initial enrollment of 120 students. Today, 155 children (75 of which are girls) aged 6-14 receive classes at the school in Sukumbasi Tole, and five teachers teach grade levels 1-5 at the school. Teachers have not only reported increased morale of the students and parents of the community, but they have expressed their satisfaction with a vastly improved working environment.
Waha Capital is a firm believer in the principle of giving back to disadvantaged communities and contributing to the welfare of societies through supporting education initiatives.

Madrid: Qatar Airways introduces Boeing 777 for the first time in Spain | Aviation: "Commencing 1 January 2011, award-winning Qatar Airways will introduce its flagship Boeing 777 aircraft for the first time in Spain , operating on the daily non-stop Doha – Madrid route, Global Arab Network reports according to a press statement.
The Boeing 777-300 Extended Range aircraft, featuring 42 seats in Business Class and 293 in Economy, offers more capacity than the Airbus A330s currently operating on the route.
Through the upgrade, Spanish travellers flying from Madrid via Doha to destinations such as Melbourne, Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing and Bali will be able to travel and experience the entire journey onboard one of the most modern and ultra-comfortable aircraft in Qatar Airways' fleet.
The two-class Boeing 777 offers Business Class seating in a 2–2–2 configuration, each with a seat pitch of 78-inches – or 6.5ft of leg room. Each seat converts into 180 degree horizontal flat beds.

Hello Kitty Mysteriously Disappears from Prisoner's Mail at Edgefield
By Joan Brunwasser (Page 1 of 1 pages) (View How Many People Read This) 4 comments
(89 fans)
Background: For first-time readers, Gary White was a county commissioner in Jefferson County, Alabama. Good friends with Les Siegelman, he introduced Les's brother, [former] Alabama Governor Don Siegelman to Richard Scrushy, a local Republican businessman. Because of this, White became inextricably intertwined with Siegelman, who was one of the biggest targets of the Rove-directed, heavily politicized Department of Justice.
Scrushy and Siegelman were later indicted and convicted on charges stemming from that relationship. According to affidavits provided by Gary [and Judy, who was also in the room] White was asked to perjure himself before a Grand Jury in order to make the case against Siegelman and Scrushy. White refused and the very next day, the DOJ started delivering subpoenas to build a case against him. White is now serving ten years in Edgefield Federal Prison in South Carolina.
My guest today is Judy White. Welcome back to OpEdNews. What's new with Gary these days? How's he faring in Edgefield Prison?
Hello, again, Joan. Hello Kitty has been taken - cat-napped, I'm afraid, the possible victim of fatal rhetoric and dishonest prison employees.
Excuse me, Judy. I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Clue us in, please.
Stephanie and Hello Kitty, college, 2008
I believe I had mentioned that Gary crochets in prison - legally, with a crochet permit - and has made heartfelt gifts for loved ones. Our youngest daughter loves Hello Kitty and her birthday is coming up soon. So Gary had asked me to send him something with Hello Kitty on grid or graph paper so that he could crochet as a birthday gift for her. I found several options, printed them, and mailed them to him on January 10th, along with other items he needed or I needed to send him. The envelope was, as all of his mail is, opened and searched by prison employees before being given to him on January 18th. But Hello Kitty was not included - she had been taken, as I discovered to my great dismay. When Gary told me he had received the mail, I asked if he liked the Kitty options, only to have him tell me there was no Hello or Good-bye. She was just gone.
That's disturbing. What would the staff want with your Hello Kitty patterns? What did you do?
I let the prison officials know and requested an investigation. Mail theft is, after all, a criminal act punishable by ten years in prison and a $250,000 dollar fine. And the prison employees are, after all, charged with modeling the highest standards of ethical and legal conduct. At least, that's what it says on paper, in black and white. But the response was predictable: denials, and standing behind provable Kitty-nappers. And it isn't that I believe they really want Hello Kitty, they just don't want Gary to have her.
Missing Hello Kitty grid
It sounds so incredibly tacky and childish. And it's lucky you asked Gary. Otherwise, you would have assumed that he got the patterns and he would probably have assumed that you hadn't gotten around to sending them yet.
Unfortunately, it's more necessity than luck. But mail problems, we have learned, are part and parcel of prison life, for both the imprisoned and those who care about them. The rhetoric is the Federal Bureau of Prisons' written words "encouraging" and "maintaining family and community ties." But the reality is that, just like everything else, mail is just something to be withheld, rejected, delayed, lost or taken - all intended to frustrate those who care about a prisoner and want to be supportive. Tonight when I got home, I had a message from friends who had sent mail to Gary that was rejected and returned to them today. The rules require them to notify Gary when anything is returned, but they have seldom done so. Apparently, the only rules that count apply to the imprisoned; rules for prison employees are freely ignored.
What goes on at Edgefield Prison is mind-boggling in so many ways. Hello Kitty is now the poster-child for all that is wrong with their abuse of the mail.
If you look at the photo, you'll see that Hello Kitty has no mouth. She speaks from her heart. If only the employees at Edgefield did as well, conditions there would instantly improve. There are plenty more examples of abuse through the mail and we'll get to them soon.
Okay. Thanks for talking with me again, Judy. Will you try to re-send Hello Kitty?
Thank you, Joan, and, yes. Gary asked me to do something very simple so he would be able to do something for our daughter for her birthday. Hello Kitty is once again in the capable hands of the U.S. Postal Service, fearlessly returning to the scene of the crime.
Well, you know what they say: "Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep the postmen from their appointed rounds." I'm just not sure if Edgefield Prison is included in the list of potential hazards. I hope that Hello Kitty can break into prison and get to Gary in time for Stephanie's birthday, Judy. We'll be pulling for her.

"Rob Kall's book is amazing. He's created a real breakthrough, visionary how-to for a sustainable, quality future. Like Saul Alinski's Rules for Radicals, this book is destined to become a classic must-read for all those concerned with social, economic, and environmental justice in today's interconnected world. Story shapes the world and our world needs new stories if we are to survive and thrive. The story of the bottom-up evolution and revolution is one that can change individuals, groups, businesses, religions, and governments for the positive as it shows how bottom-up inclusiveness, connectedness, collaboration, empathy, innovation, and freeform creativity can help unleash the great potentials for good inherent in our very nature. If you want to improve things in your world and the world, first read this book, then apply the suggestions. Change is sure to come."

UIC Security Division activity disseminated at the 5th International Rail Human Factors Conference
The UIC Security Division had four interventions during the 5th edition of the International Rail Human Factors Conference, which was held in London from 14 – 17 September 2015 (http://www.rssb.co.uk/railhf2015). These interventions consisted of the presentation of two papers and organisation of two interactive workshops covering several important topics for railway security.
The paper entitled "Design of the main stations and multimodality: developing comprehensive security for attractiveness and efficiency" was presented in 15 minutes to an audience of approximately 50 persons by Virginie Papillault, Senior Advisor within the UIC Security Division. This paper aimed at presenting the feeling of security of the end users at stations and on trains in order to improve the attractiveness of the railways and security performance. She explained the complexity of security at main stations and presented a new systematic and comprehensive approach which integrates a multi-disciplinary vision from security, safety, environment, civil defence and resilience called comprehensive railway protection. She explained that to answer the questions of complexity and security of main stations we should improve the subjective level of security and better analyse the feeling of security. Finally she proposed an innovative methodology from UIC in order to better address these issues for passenger, non-security staff dealing with public and for security staff.
A complementary interactive workshop was then organised in order to develop a "Comprehensive security for attractiveness and efficiency: training programme for stations design and management". The objective was to reflect on the best way to organise training modules for station users, both for the public and non-security railway staff. It was based on the comprehensive railway protection framework and included a role play exercise with two groups and based on two scenarios. It allowed the UIC Security Division to identify the core elements of a future successful training programme for all station users.
The second important topic was covered by Grigore Havârneanu, Research Advisor within the UIC Security Division, through a paper and a workshop. The paper entitled "Behavioural interventions to prevent trespass and vandalism: Lessons learned from the RESTRAIL and GRAFFOLUTION research projects" presented a set of integrated results from two EU FP7 projects in which UIC actively participated. The 15-minute presentation included a discussion on how measures can be combined to increase their efficiency for trespass and vandalism prevention in the context of a behavioural theoretical framework applied to the rail context. The audience composed of approximately 30 persons was actively engaged in this discussion.
The main results of the RESTRAIL project (REduction of Suicides and Trespasses on RAILway property) were reported in more detail during the workshop entitled "Presentation and update of the RESTRAIL Toolbox: A free online tool that helps to save lives along the railways". The aim of this workshop was to train safety, security and human factors experts to use the tool on a current basis and to collect feedback and inputs from the attendees. This is consistent with the follow-up strategy adopted by the Security Division at the end of the RESTRAIL project to constantly disseminate and improve the RESTRAIL toolbox (www.restrail.eu/toolbox) for the benefit of the entire railway community.

This bill will provide documented Virginia students who have been granted Deferred Action by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security the opportunity to receive in-state tuition at Virginia state colleges and universities. This legislation is not only the right thing to do for these students who were brought here at no fault of their own, but also the right thing to do for Virginia's economy. We invest millions of dollars in these students from kindergarten through twelfth grade, but put up a barrier to higher education that turns away top Virginia students. With the support of a diverse coalition of business leaders, religious organizations, education advocates, and immigrant rights groups behind this bill, I am cautiously optimistic that we will be able to move this bill forward in the House of Delegates.
Virginia should be making it easier to vote – not harder. This bill will allow Virginians to vote in-person absentee before Election Day without an excuse. This is especially important for individuals in our community who work multiple jobs and may find it difficult to spend several hours trying to vote on a work day. I believe HB 800 is common sense legislation that will help alleviate long lines on Election Day and increase voter participation.
This bill will allow Virginians age 65 and older to vote absentee without an excuse. Virginia currently allows Virginians age 65 and older to request curbside voting; however, we do not allow these same Virginians to request an absentee ballot without an additional excuse. The increased use of curbside in 2012 contributed to some of the long lines that were experienced throughout Northern Virginia on Election Day. For these and other reasons, the Virginia Voter Registrar's Association supports this legislation.
Virginia is one of only four States that do not automatically restore the voting rights of felons once they have paid their debt to society. This is a remnant of our segregationist past. My legislation authorizes the Virginia General Assembly to provide for the automatic restoration of voting rights for individuals convicted of nonviolent felonies who have completed their sentences. The current law leaves this determination up to the whim of the Governor. While Governor McDonnell worked tirelessly to review as many application as possible, this bill would remove this burden from the Governor's office and create a consistent process for all Virginians.
This bill will add discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of unlawfully discriminatory housing practices. Simply put, no one should be denied a place to live as a result of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
This legislation would provide protection from a retaliatory eviction for tenants who have recently reported their landlord for a code violation, filed a suit against the landlord, joined a tenants' organization, or testified against the landlord. Within six months of one of the above actions it shall be "prima facie" evidence that the landlord's action was retaliatory. The current law requires the tenant to prove this action is retaliatory, which is nearly impossible.
In Virginia, the definition of a small business for the purposes of the Small, Women, and Minority (SWaM) owned business public procurement program is fewer than 250 employees or less than an average of $10 million in annual gross receipts for the past three years. This definition covers over 95% of all businesses in Virginia. As a result, women and minority-owned businesses have a competitive disadvantage when it comes to procurement with the Commonwealth. Moreover, this overly broad definition allows large companies to technically become certified as small businesses and unfairly compete for small business procurement contracts. My legislation will make a small change to the definition of small business – replacing the word "or" with the word "and" – partially getting rid of the loophole allowing companies to take advantage of the SWaM procurement process. A company with $4.5 billion in annual receipts and 13 employees should not be certified as a small business.
This legislation will allow entrepreneurial Virginians eligible for unemployment insurance to instead receive seed money for starting a business. Essentially creating their own job (and possibly hiring others) rather than applying for a new one. This program has been very successful in other states – creating new jobs and providing critical entrepreneurial experience. By creating a pilot program that is limited to 100 participants, we can measure its effectiveness in Virginia and show why we should expand this program throughout the Commonwealth.
As this industry starts to take off with the help of legislation that I sponsored over the past two years, we need to keep improving Virginia's code so that this industry can continue to grow and thrive. This legislation is a commonsense fix to a requirement that "converted electric vehicle" be displayed in a method that would end up being over three feet long on three different sides of the car. By making this requirement a smaller, bumper sticker size identification, we can protect the safety of first responders while ensuring these vehicles remain marketable for manufacturers.
After numerous meetings throughout the year with Electrical Utility Companies, environmental advocates, and renewable energy industries, we have hammered out a compromise to move Virginia's Renewable Portfolio Standards program forward. This legislation will place a five year limit on Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) that are purchased by a utility so that utility companies will either have to purchase new renewable energy or create their own. Rather than storing RECs in perpetuity, this bill will incentivize new renewable energy production throughout the Commonwealth.
This bill will postpone the due date for the quadrennial updates to the Virginia Energy Plan from July 1 to October 1 so that Governor McAuliffe can have adequate time to effectively update Virginia's energy plan.
This legislation will require VDOT to adhere to any tree replacement policy adopted by the locality in which a highway construction project is being undertaken. This has been a concern for parts of the 49th District in recent years.
This bill will require the Virginia State Corporation Commission, when required to approve the construction of any electrical utility facility, to consider the long-term price stability of any fuels used in the generation of energy from the facility. This would require the State Corporation Commission to give more consideration for renewable energy projects, which have a large up-front cost, but run on free solar, wind, and hydroelectric power after they are built.
This bill will bring back the Commission on Energy and Environment, which former State Senator Mary Margaret Whipple worked tirelessly to create and support. It functions as a Commission to review legislation with significant environmental and energy implications. If we want to keep Virginia moving forward with the development of new renewable energy and environmentally friendly legislation, we need a forward-thinking Commission that is specially designed to review these bills.
This bill will authorize the issuance of special license plates for members and supporters of the American Foreign Service Association.
This bill would include bicycles and non-motorized vehicles in Virginia's following too closely statute. After coming so close last year to passing this legislation, I am determined to make sure we have adequate protection for bicyclists and other operators of non-motorized vehicles. With bipartisan support in both chambers of the General Assembly, I am optimistic that we will pass this legislation in 2014.
This legislation is designed to fix the far too common problem of "notario" fraud. In many foreign countries, notarios (notaries public) are equivalent to attorneys in that they are able to practice law and provide legal advice. Unfortunately, some notaries are taking advantage of this language discrepancy by advertising to provide legal advice on issues ranging from immigration to divorce proceedings even though they are not qualified to do so. This bill would require notaries public who do not have a law degree to include office signage (in all the languages that they provide service) and a disclaimer in all advertisements detailing that they are not qualified to practice law or provide immigration services.
This legislation will make the possession and transfer of unnecessary high-capacity ammunition magazines (more than 20 rounds) a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $250. An exception is made for individuals who have registered with the State Police and have undergone a background check. However, the registrant is limited to three high-capacity magazines.
This legislation will require a background check for any and all private sales of firearms in Virginia. This is popular, common sense legislation supported by over 91% of Virginians (according to a poll conducted in 2012) and three out of every four Virginia-based NRA Members (according to a poll conducted in May of 2013).
This legislation will require the State Police to be available to perform background checks for non-firearms dealer sales at gun shows. These background checks would be voluntary. Also, the setup and staffing of the background check computer terminal/kiosk would be paid for by the owner of the gun show.
This bill will require that the written policy and procedure for conducting in-person and photographic lineups used by the State Police and local law-enforcement agencies conform to the model policy for conducting such lineups established by the Department of Criminal Justice Services. According to a recent University of Virginia School of Law survey, many of Virginia's law enforcement agencies do not follow best practices for lineup procedures. This can lead to incorrect identifications and wrongful convictions. In fact, 13 of the 16 individuals in Virginia who were later exonerated using DNA evidence were originally convicted with at least one misidentification. In some cases there were multiple misidentifications.
This legislation will add correctional officers to the list of public safety employees who are entitled to a presumption that hypertension, heart disease, and certain infectious diseases are occupational diseases compensable under the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act. Correctional officers have some of the highest rates of stress and infection due to the nature of their job. They should be treated equally with other law enforcement officers who experience the same circumstances.

Invictus Team Canada coach Peter Lawless is part of a local committee looking to bid for the 2022 Invictus Games in Victoria. Saanich, Victoria and Langford have each received a request for $20,000 to help fund the bid. Oak Bay has already contributed $5,000 towards the bid — the amount asked of Esquimalt. Communities, however, have so far reacted differently to the request. (File photo)
Invictus Games bid seeks early funding from across Greater Victoria
Saanich looks to approve; Victoria and Langford yet to weigh in on $20,000 request
Jan. 31, 2019 11:45 a.m.
Municipalities across Greater Victoria are reacting differently to a funding request to bring the 2022 Invictus Games to the region.
Perhaps leading the way is Saanich, whose council will debate next week a notice of motion from Mayor Fred Haynes and Coun. Judy Brownoff to allocate up to $20,000 towards the bid.
Coun. Judy Brownoff said in a statement the bid aligns with municipal objectives. "Saanich aims to promote and increase the economic benefits related to hosting major sport, recreation and cultural events in our community," she said. "Saanich has high-performance sport facilities that we can use to support local sport tourism and provide economic growth."

If Saanich appears poised towards supporting the bid, it is not clear whether the City of Victoria and the City of Langford will also contribute the same amount.
Keith Wells, executive director of the Greater Victoria Sport Tourism Commission, said Monday that those two municipalities will be asked for the same amount, adding that funding the application now does not commit the municipalities to funding the Games themselves, which would cost millions.
Bill Eisenhauer, head of engagement at the City of Victoria, said he could not comment on the figure because staff has yet to receive a formal request, adding that staff are informally aware of the efforts to bring the games to the region.
Black Press is still awaiting a response from the office of Langford Mayor Stew Young.
According to Wells, Esquimalt will be asked for $5,000 towards the bid, estimated to cost $70,000.
Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins said the request has been sent to staff for an "appropriate council discussion and decision." She did not respond to follow up questions about her own views on the bid.
Oak Bay, on the other hand has already committed $5,000.
The deadline for the bid is March 29.
in the Invictus Games, created by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel and veterans associations compete across multiple sports. The name of the competition stems from a poem titled Invictus (Latin for unconquered) by English poet by William Ernest Henley in which the author (himself an amputee) celebrates physical and mental perseverance in the face of daunting odds.
Peter Lawless, president of the Invictus Victoria Sports Society, said in a letter to Saanich council that the region would be "uniquely positioned" to host the games because of its status as home of Royal Canadian Navy's Pacific Fleet, and former site of the XV Commonwealth Games.

looks like the movie project is proceeding.
lets see who is missing in chris's new film-friend-family :P.
Tony of course, Paulie and Bobby which seem to be somewhat loyal to Tony imho.
Sil is there, so it doesnt smell too much, and makes quite a few minor objections on the thing itself.
First thing chris is mentioning to tony is the movie club before the old guy hears about it from another side.
Paulie and Bobbie could feel pretty much as outsiders if the film club suceeds(which chris expects of course).
Or is about more than movies later maybe?
Jimmy, i totally agree with what you said about Tony being internally enraged about what Chris said to him, and when he said it.
I wouldnt be surprised to see a follow up from this, inasmuch as sometimes Chris can just be so obtuse with the things that he says to Tony, and sometimes i feel he blatantly expects some sort of special treatment.
As much as Ade being killed was devastating to me, Chris must know full well that he is not "owed" anything for his part in giving her up to Tony. Chris took an oath, and in that oath, THIS family came before personal family. And Ade wasnt even his wife yet!!
Chris continues to push the boundaries with Tony, and if Tony hadnt had the plans that he does for Chris, in intending only to make orders through him, then i think he would have been dealt with swiftly long ago.
I think Chris has got to be on very thin ice this season. His constant obsession with this movie gig, not only the fine line between the secrecy of the "family", but its branching out away from family duties.
While agreeing with your other points, I disagree with you and almost everyone else it seems on the key things. One, that Chris is being sneaky in telling Tony that way - I think Chris is just really excited about the movie and Tony being back and wasn't planning on saying anything, but the converation ran dry <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> so it kinda occured to him that this situation was a good way of saying something to Tony which he would ordinarily be afraid to say.
As for Tony being enraged..... I think you guys are reading too much here... he looked like an invalid to me - I don't think anything got through.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly... I don't think Chris is doing anything wrong, and neither will Tony. Tony's problem in the past has been with Chris trying to get into the life of screenwriting, etc. and away from the "family". Also, Tony's been a little concerned with Chris making the story too real, since he would be writing it.
This time, there's no danger of either of those happening. Chris has brought in several other parties from within the "family" so everyone is involved, and he's not writing it, JT is.
I actually thought this was a very smart, mature thing for Chris to do. He's bringing new business for the "family" which is what he's supposed to be doing.

A few simple policies can go a long way in preventing register theft, so it's important to implement strict cash drawer procedures to avoid loss.

Here are some step-by-step tips for what to do before, during, and after the conversation to prevent future offenses.
As a QSR owner, you know the value of food. It helps you earn a living, provides jobs, and feeds your community. This makes food waste prevention even more important for keeping your business profitable and sustainable. But, how can you reduce food waste? Here are four food waste solutions every QSR owner should know.
Loss prevention is such an important — yet frustrating — part of the equation, because you have to work just as hard to avoid losing any of those profits through theft or other causes. Here are five of the top loss prevention tips to make sure your QSR restaurants stay in the black.

Can Indianapolis Colts Shock the Kansas City Chiefs?
Published on January 6th, 2019 4:42 pm EST
Written By: Dave Manuel
Click Here To Bet on Chiefs vs Colts
Who is the hottest team in the NFL right now?
The Chiefs? The Saints? The Rams?
The answer - none of the above.
The hottest team in the NFL right now is currently the Indianapolis Colts, who have won 10 of their last 11 games to make it to the AFC Divisional round in the playoffs.
Let's not forget that the Colts started their season 1-5. There were legitimate concerns about Andrew Luck's arm, as he seemed to be unwilling to throw downfield.
It turns out that the Colts were just easing Andrew Luck back in. After the team's 1-5 start, Luck went off, tossing the second highest number of touchdown passes in the NFL. The Colts were helped out by a strong offensive line, the emergence of Marlon Mack as a legitimate RB1 and a better-than-expected defense. The Colts are very deserving of their spot in one of the two AFC divisional games next weekend, as they eased past the Houston Texans yesterday.
The Colts will have a very tough opponent in the form of the Kansas City Chiefs, who were one of the revelations of this year's NFL season.
The Chiefs, led by likely MVP winner Patrick Mahomes, will look to continue a dream season that saw them go 12-4. The Chiefs were instantly energized by the switch from Alex Smith to Patrick Mahomes at QB, as the team went on to post one of the best offensive seasons in league history.
The Chiefs, however, do have weaknesses, especially when it comes to their defense. With Andrew Luck and Patrick Mahomes going at it, there will certainly be no shortage of touchdowns.
Let's take a look at the betting odds for Saturday's game between the Colts and Chiefs, courtesy of Bet365:
Time Stamp: January 6th, 2019 4:26 pm EST
Indianapolis Colts, +5.5, -105
Kansas City Chiefs, -5.5, -110
Over 56.5 points, -110
Under 56.5 points, -110
Colts, +210
Chiefs, -250

During the early stages of the winter, we'll take a look at some of the options possibly available on the trade market that might intrigue the Phillies. With the Jayson Werth situation looming large, some of these players may or may not be a good fit for the Phils.
Playing in the desert has kept him from becoming a household name, but Justin Upton is nearly there. Could a trade change that?
The Arizona Diamondbacks are reportedly gauging interest on their 23-year old outfielder, one of the premier youngsters in baseball. Would the Phillies have interest? Absolutely. Would they have what it takes to get pry him from the D'Backs? Highly unlikely.
Multiple reports have the Diamondbacks asking for four or five players in any trade for their burgeoning superstar, including up to three which would be major league ready. Jon Heyman of SI.com says an American League executive called the asking price "ridiculous." As of now, there have been no reports linking the Phils to the D'Backs rightfielder, but that doesn't mean the Phillies haven't at least asked about him.
Upton would be a best-case scenario replacement should Jayson Werth leave town. The 2010 season was a bit of a down year for B.J.'s younger bro, as he hit just .273 with 17 home runs and 69 RBI. Upton had a breakout in 2009 with a .300 average to go with 26 homers and 86 RBI. It was a bit of a step backward however, he's a guy many are willing to take a shot on. If the price is right.
Upton is dealing with an injury that could scare some teams away – he has a torn labrum in his shoulder that is not in need of surgery. His contract is rather friendly – he signed for six-years and $51 million before last season – but the haul Arizona will seek has some wondering if anyone but the Red Sox or Yankees will be able to afford it. Beyond the prospects, would it be worth it for the Phillies, or many other teams for that matter, to pay for two seasons of Upton. In 2016, Upton will be a free agent and could seek near $20 million per season.
The Phillies could use a youthful infusion with a guy like Upton adding to the impending breakthrough of Dominic Brown. The only problem is, Upton would cost the Phillies Brown and then some. Pillaging the farm system yet again doesn't seem to be the brightest idea, although some argue Upton would be worth it. If the price drops some, look for Ruben to put his nose in the race, although it's still a long-shot. At the very least, a trade to Boston would send Jayson Werth's price down a bit.
CHANCES: Very, very low. Upton is a fine, young talent, but it's unlikely the Phillies have what it takes to snag him from the lowly Diamondbacks. I give it one Ruben head out of 10 that Upton becomes a Phillie.


The first lady Michelle Obama is known as much for her classic style as she is known for her social activism. Whether it be a formal gathering, a public appearance or a charity, she would always appear stylish yet elegant. And, what defines elegance better than the timeless pearls.
Pearls have an eternal beauty to them that never goes out of fashion. For centuries, pearls have been one of the most cherished forms of jewelry that has been a favorite of many a royalties in the past. Michelle Obama is so often seen sporting her pearl necklace. Some say that her pearl jewelry is the first thing that one notices about her. Her love for them could be seen when even her wax statue at Madame Tussauds was embellished with a pearl necklace.
So if your pearl strand is resting somewhere in your wardrobe. Get them out, for they are very much back in vogue.

It's the time of year when you open the front door and it resembles opening a hot steamy oven. Summer is most definitely here. Which means most of you folks have been to their fair share of outdoor BBQ's or even clambakes, perhaps even hosted your own gathering. Beer and wine is pretty much a staple at any outdoor gathering. A lot of folks tend to be seasonal wine consumers, so summer means cold white wine. But don't discount that rare wine drinker who wants a glass of red wine regardless of the 90 plus degree temperature outside. They do exist!
But let's stick with white wine for now. Instead of the standard chilled Sauvignon Blanc that seems to be at every outdoor gathering, try another crisp refreshing white wine that is just as pleasant, a Pinot Gris. Generally a very smooth crisp white wine, this is the perfect grape to serve at that next outdoor party.
14 Hands Pinot Gris comes from Washington State, where this grape thrives in the many microclimates. This Pinot Gris is full of flavor and won't disappoint. Swirling this wine in the glass you'll note crisp melon and subtle pineapple hit you on the nose. On the palate green apple and honeysuckle gallop along into a long smooth finish. Sip on this on it's own or enjoy with seafood or grilled veggies.
Now for the non-seasonal wine drinkers who are brave enough to enjoy red wine when it is hot as Hades outside: 14 Hands Merlot and 14 Hands Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.
Merlot's are great BBQ pairing wines. The flavors of the smokey sweet BBQ and the dark stone fruit and spice are the perfect match. 14 Hands Merlot has wonderful aromas of dark cherry and subtle notes of dried herbs. Sipping this wine, plum and spice surrounded by cherries and blackberries trot on the palate to the very velvety long finish. This is one of those wines that is hard to put down once poured in the glass.
14 Hands Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant red wine filled with black currants and cherries – subtle notes of sage can be noticed. Ripe red fruit and cocoa coat the palate. The finish is long and rewarding. Not dry at all, actually smooth tannins like an afternoon canter through the woods. The pricier of the 14 Hands collection, this wine is well worth the green. 92 points from the Wine Spectator and 90 Points from the Wine Advocate. The perfect special occasion wine.
Three wines worthy of the winner's circle, 14 Hands are perfect wines to take along to your next BBQ or to serve your guests whether it's trotting towards 100, or we get that rare gift of low 80s with low humidity. With a great price to match, it's time to saddle up and pick up a bottle today!


Finding student accommodation in Canada can be intimidating. But it can also be exciting — this will be your home for the coming months and years, so the decision is an important one.
There are many different types of student accommodation in Canada, and your options may depend on your location, institution, and budget. Here are some common types of student accommodation.
Living with a host family can provide you with a sense of home and security as you start your new life in Canada. Host families normally provide a private room, one to three meals per day, and internet access. A host family can also answer questions about the city, introduce you to Canadian culture and customs and share mealtimes with you. Many students choose to register and pay for homestay accommodation for four to eight weeks at first. They may use that time to find an apartment rental or shared accommodation. Many students also continue living with the host family. As homestay accommodation is usually in residential areas, students living in homestay accommodation may expect to commute by bus or train to get to school.
Many colleges and universities offer student residence on-campus or nearby the campus. Student residences come in many different forms. Institutions, particularly universities, may offer dormitories — apartment blocks of single and double-occupancy rooms with shared living spaces. Some student residences may be shared houses, private studios, or apartments. Each institution may have different residence options for different budgets. Some residences include a shared kitchen in common areas and/or cafeteria or food court where you may eat daily. Student residences are generally managed by the institution.
If you're looking for an off-campus shared apartment, your search may be easier after your arrival in Canada. That way, you will be able to visit the apartment in person, see the neighbourhood and proximity to your school, as well as meet the people or person with whom you will be sharing the apartment. Many apartments are managed by individual landlords who will want to meet their tenant in person. You may be asked to sign a lease when renting a shared apartment — leases are normally six months to one year in length. You may also be asked to pay rent, utilities (electricity, water), and internet or cable television plus a deposit equal to one month's rent.
It is still a good idea to start looking for a place and meeting potential roommates before you arrive in Canada. You can look for a shared apartment in the online classified ads of big newspapers, on popular advertising sites such as Craigslist and Kijiji, or even websites such as Airbnb.
Subletting is very common in many Canadian cities and towns — this is when a tenant rents out a room in their apartment to another person. In addition to listings websites, many universities and colleges have housing groups on Facebook where you can meet other students looking for roommates or subletters. In this way, you may not have to commit to a lease and you could confirm your accommodation before you arrive.
Important note: Beware of scams on some websites such as Craigslist and never send money before seeing the apartment or meeting the owner face-to-face!
Nowadays there are many secure ways to find a temporary furnished apartment rental before your arrival in Canada. These apartments are normally furnished, private rentals including everything you need to settle in Canada, and they provide a way to settle in conveniently, while saving money on furnishings. Furnished apartments may be available on a month-to-month basis, or the tenant may be required to sign a lease.
This may be the more complicated option, but many students appreciate the independence of their own apartment. Regulations differ across the country, so make sure you research the requirements and tenant rights for your destination city or town. Renting an unfurnished apartment is usually going to require you to sign a one-year lease, and there may be further costs required. You may have to pay first and last month's rent, plus a deposit and hook-up of utilities and internet. There is also furnishing to consider.
However, finding and furnishing your own apartment is a chance to make your own home in a new city, particularly if you're going to be there for several years during your study program.

A: I agree with Sergio. But just to elaborate, follow the instructions below since it seems you may be new to Devise.
Did you do
gem install devise
rails generate devise:install
rails generate devise User
rake db:migrate
rails generate devise:views

?
The full instructions can be found here.

A: You probably forgot to run migrations against your database after you have installed devise. Or there was no such column in the migration.

A: Be sure to have password and passord_confirmation as accessible attributes in your User model like this:
attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, etc...

A: Simply uninstall the app from the phone and the try reinstalling it from Android Studio. This will definitely do the trick.
