The Orc Warlord Wotenden, of the Dripping Blade Orcs, has assembled many tribes into a vast Horde of marauders. It is said he cannot be defeated in battle; now he threatens the Imperial Capital City. The Army of has met them on the field of battle, but one thing is missing; Adventurers! The first mission is simple; you must sneak behind enemy lines, raid the Horde's supply stronghold and destroy everything that you cannot take and use.
Your next mission is much more difficult. With Wotenden's stockpile of supplies lost, he needs more to continue his campaign, so he has ordered a new supply caravan. You must disrupt the long, snaking caravan and prevent it from reaching the front! It will be heavily guarded, now that they know we have a strike team behind their lines, and its commander will be very challenging to defeat, for he knows failure simply means death anyways.
The final mission is the most difficult by far. With no supplies for an extended siege, Wotenden must throw his Horde at the walls of the Capital City now or lose everything. While the battle is waged in full and most of the enemy is occupied, you must use your hidden position to strike at Wodenden and find some way to kill him. His death will end the war and save the Capital City and the Empire of Hadran itself!

These culloute pants are my most unique and stylish to date! Because they are wide legged culottes, they do have a bit of an unflattering affect. As a bottom heavy woman it's harder to look slim in baggy pants. But because of their high waisted, stretchy waistband, these are nice and snug in the waist and therefore help to create more of an hourglass effect. I call them my happy pants because not only are they vibrant and fun, but the same day I wore them, I sold my first chokers on my shop ❤ whoop whoop!

Korean Beauty Facts
5 Facts about Pony Makeup
By JoahBox October 26, 2017 Korean Beauty Facts
With more than 2,800,000 subscribers, Pony is no doubt one of South Korea's most successful Korean makeup artist. Pony's real name is Hye-Min Park, though she made her reputation by her equine nickname. She's a trendsetter as well as a Korean cosmetics expert. So if you're looking for K-beauty inspiration, look no further than Pony.
In 2008, Pony began her first makeup blog on Cyworld where she catalogs a various range of makeup tutorials, product reviews, and outfit photos. However, she joined YouTube just two years ago. Now Pony is a top Youtuber, a professional make-up artist, a businesswoman, an author of several best-selling books, and a celebrity not just in the border of Korea.
So, what makes Pony such a successful Korean Makeup artist?
To most fans of Korean beauty, Pony has carved out success for herself with her almost encyclopedic knowledge of makeup and beauty products. With her youthful good looks, bright personality, a quick sense of humor, and an innate sense of style, Pony is an inspiration for many women. Prior to her YouTube career, Pony was an 'ulzzang' who often modeled for Korean e-commerce stores ('online shopping malls'). Pony expertly executed and extremely chatty makeup tutorials attract her audience by showing them how to craft the perfect smoky eye to how to recreate K-pop idols' glam. Since most of Pony's videos are easy to follow along and have English subtitles, her videos draw numerous attention from her overseas fans.
However, Pony is so much more than just a YouTuber. Let's look at some fun facts about this talented girl:
1.She's CL's Makeup Artist
Though Pony has been blogging about beauty for years, part of her rise in popularity in the K-beauty world was because of her partnership with K-pop star CL. Though CL is a style icon in her own right, the K-pop star's glam has clearly been influenced by Pony, and people are taking notice.
2.She Used To Be A Graphic Designer
Pony wasn't always a celebrity makeup artist or a celebrity in her own right. In an interview with Soompi, a Korean pop culture website, Pony explained that she always loved drawing. She went to university to become a graphic designer. She worked in an office for a while but was never truly passionate about it.
3.She's An Author
It was while working as a graphic designer that Pony was approached by a publishing company to write a makeup book. Pony has written and published four books about beauty. You can order them online. But English-speakers be warned: They are only available in Korean. The books do, however, contain loads of gorgeous, glossy images that are sure to provide makeup inspirations for anyone who picks them up.
4.She Has Fans From All Over The World
Though Pony is Korean, she is aware and conscious of her international fans. With this in mind, she tries to create tutorials that will be of interest and relevance to their lives. One of her most famous (and perhaps controversial) among these is her hijab makeup tutorial. She explained to Soompi, "Among my international fans, many of them reside in countries where wearing a hijab is common. So I wanted to create a makeup tutorial for them and be able to identify with." She has created a long list of wearable as well as fun makeup looks and has even transformed herself to look like Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner.
5.She Has Her Own Makeup Line
Pony created her own makeup line called "Pony Effect". The range includes eye-shadow palettes for easy glam, dewy lipsticks, and nail polishes in bright, tropical colors. Pony products have been featured several times in different boxes from JoahBox. For example the best-selling DEEP & PURE LIP TINT from June Box, Mirage Highlighter and Nail Lacquer from August JoahBox and Favorite Fluid Lip Tint from October's JoahBox.

Miami Dolphins 2020 Turnaroud Won't Include Playoffs
Thu, Dec 10th, 2020 5:45:57 pm
FairwayJay looks at the Miami Dolphins successful turnaround season but warns of a Dolphins nosedive and missed playoffs.
Final Four Weeks Likely A Downer For Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have been one of the pleasant surprises in the 2020 season in what was projected as a massive rebuild from a season ago. Following an 0-7 start a year ago that had Miami as huge underdogs of 14 or more points in five of their first seven games and rally to win 5 games for the season, the Dolphins have responded swimmingly with an 8-4 record and on the cusp of a playoff berth in the closing stretch of the 2020 season. For sports bettors, the improved play of the Dolphins has been even more rewarding when wagering on Miami. The Dolphins have the best against the spread record in the league this season going 9-3 ATS when betting at the leading online sportsbooks. I challenge anyone to have forecast those profits betting on Miami, or even eight wins at this stage of the season.
Now the stakes get steeper and the water deeper as the Dolphins try to swim home safely and hold onto a playoff position. A potential for eight playoff teams in each conference is also in place following the NFL's contingency plan approved in early November. Recall that's when NFL owners voted unanimously to approve the addition of one playoff team to each conference in the event that the league is unable to complete its regular season schedule as a result of COVID-19. After watching the league approve the Ravens and Steelers game last Wednesday after multiple rescheduled dates, it appears the league will do whatever it takes to play the games as scheduled.
Dolphins Remaining Schedule, Betting Lines and Win Totals
Starting with Week 14, Miami's closing four games will have the fish as underdogs three times with the trip to Las Vegas after Christmas looming very large. The pointspread in Week 17 at Buffalo will hinge on what's at stake for the division and if the Bills have already secured the division title and locked in their playoff position.
Date Opponent & Record Point spread Playoff Position
Dec. 13 Kansas City (11-1) Chiefs -7.5 Chiefs currently No. 2 seed
Dec. 20 New England (6-6) Dolphins -2.5 Patriots currently out of playoffs and No. 10
Dec. 26 at Las Vegas (7-5) Raiders -2.5 Sunday Night Football, Raiders currently out of playoffs and No. 8
Jan. 3 at Buffalo (9-3) Bills -8* Bills currently No. 3
A look at the AFC playoff picture shows Miami (8-4) currently in the No. 6 spot in the expanded seven team conference playoff race. The Dolphins still have a shot at the AFC East title trailing the Buffalo Bills (9-3) by just one game. Considering the Dolphins season win total at BetOnline was six wins back in April, the season has to be considered a success for the team and coaching staff.
But with the playoffs in site, the mindset and expectations change, just like the point spreads and projections each week. The addition of key defensive personnel has helped Miami go from last in the AFC allowing 398 yards per game last year and 6.0 yards per play to 355 yards per game and 5.6 yards per play this season – both near league average. The Dolphins defense blitzes on 41% of opponents' dropbacks, which is the most in the NFL. Miami's defense went up against the Broncos, Jets and Bengals (backup) quarterbacks the last three weeks, who all rank low in Pro Football Focus' quarterback position rankings. Those games all came in 'under' the total and Miami has now played 8-of-12 games under the totals this season. The Dolphins will have to score more the final four weeks to have a chance as Miami's final four games will be up against a quartet of quality quarterbacks in league MVP Patrick Mahomes, Cam Newton, Derek Carr and Josh Allen.
Juggling veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick with rookie Tua Tagovailoa since the bye week the end of October has seen Miami go 4-1 with Tua as starter and 5-1 overall. Tagovailoa is going to find the going tough down the stretch if coach Flores sticks with the rookie. Tua has completed just three of his 14 passing attempts targeted 20 yards or more downfield, and he's averaging just 5.7 yards per pass play this season while Fitzpatrick is averaging 6.9 yards per pass.
The Dolphins plus-7 turnover margin is positive, but Miami's special teams improvement to one of the best in the league is understated and not given enough credit. Miami's 16.8 yards allowed per kick return is best in the NFL. The Dolphins also have the most punt return yardage in the league and a field goal kicker in Jason Sanders who has made 28-of-29 field goals and not missed an extra point attempt.
All that aside, the Dolphins faced two poor defenses that rank in the bottom tier the past few weeks. And against two quality defenses faced since Tua took over at quarterback, Miami gained just 223 yards at 3.7 yards per play at Denver and 145 yards at 3.0 yards per play against the Rams. The online sportsbooks are not buying in on the Dolphins in their final four games. Neither is FiveThirtyEight, the data driven analysis site that projects Miami with a 34% chance to make the playoffs heading into Week 14.
The Dolphins may sink sharply and not win another game this season. And one more win won't be enough for Miami to make the playoffs, even if it comes against the Raiders (it won't).

U.S. District Judge Matt Whitworth approved the settlement Thursday in Jefferson City in a suit filed by the Missouri Association of the Deaf and 13 named plaintiffs. Attorneys for the plaintiffs say about 20 percent of deaf persons in need of mental health services are children.
The suit accused the state of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by failing to provide adequate mental health care for the deaf. Among many provisions, the settlement requires greater availability of sign language interpreters and development of outpatient and inpatient centers staffed with clinicians and case managers trained in aiding the deaf.

Q: Zend Framework User Authentication (MVC question) I'm getting some trouble understanding the MVC concepts.
I'm building a User model, you know? Application_Model_Users. They say that the models should only contain the structure... and the business logic should be put in the controller.
So, consider a function called authenticate($user, $password). This function will return true if the username and password entered is valid or false otherwise. Where should I put this function? In the controller Authentication or in the model Users?
Thank you!

A: Related to the Model, whenever you need to retrieve data(from DB, Web service, filesystem) or save data, you need a model to do the job. In MVC, a model is not understood as a mapped table, maybe more like a mapper. Zend has some info about this at their site, it could help you understanding mvc a bit more.
When it comes to user authentication, you should certainly implement the authenticate function inside the Users model, I would think you will do a database check against a table or similar.
Just in case you are not already using it, Zend comes with a package for auhtentication: Zend_Auth (http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.auth.html) , it could speed up implementing the security at your application.

A: Although Model operations often include storage operations (DB, servicer, etc), it is not limited to that. Model, as far as I know, should countain Business logic entities, this is, classes that represent your business entities, like User, Person, Customer, etc. Each class should define its own operation methods, in example, a Person model class should allow you to get a person's name, calculate his/her age according to his/her birth date, etc.
Also, there should be specialized classes for Model storage and retrieval. With these classes you could fetch all your Customers, or only one, using certain conditions, etc, or save a modified Customer class instance (in example, a customer changed his/her address or phone number).
This separates the storage/retrieval operations from Business login operations.
So, according to your question, your model could have a class that allows you to find one user by its user name and password. If the user is found, you could return a Model_User class instance (in example). Then, using the standard Zend_Auth class, or extending it to create your own authentication class, you can use some Login form parameters to perform the user authentication.
Follow the Zend Framework quick start guide, there are the basics about MVC in Zend Framework. Also, there you will find some resources about Zend_Db and related classes, to allow DB interaction. There are also Zend_Db_Table, Zend_Db_Table_Rowset and Zend_Db_Table_Row classes, that you could extend to fit your model storage needs.
I have a personal solution where I extend Zend_Db_Table for my (in example) Model_UserTable class, used to store or query my Model_User entities. And my Model_User class extends Zend_Db_Table_Row.

Three-level 500-stall post-tensioned concrete parking garage located adjacent to the Great Lakes Science Center. The top level of the structure has a green roof. Since the Science Center and garage are located adjacent to North Coast Harbor, augercast pile were provided as the foundation system.
The Great Lakes Science Center is one of America's largest interactive science museums. In addition, Cleveland's North Coast Harbor includes the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum and Cleveland Browns Stadium. The 500-stall post-tensioned parking structure proudly serves all three attractions. The structure utilizes 6 inch thick one-way slabs and 36 inch deep one-way beam (spanning 62-feet) supported by cast-in-place concrete columns spaced 25 1/2-feet apart. Since portions of the garage are below grade, cast-in-place concrete retaining walls occur on two sides which retain the lateral earth pressure. The "green" roof plaza structure supports 24- to 36-inches of soil. The plaza serves as exterior exhibits for the Science Center during summer months. Lastly, the garage structure is supported by 100-ton augercast concrete pile groups located below each column and the continuous retaining wall footings.

This quiet is more shul than nothingness and must be given due respect. She thinks it's like the grass on Lose Hill, that doesn't muddy where others have been, but tilts gold at certain times of day, and leads her down from the top.
In Tibetan, shul is the impression left after whatever made it has gone. Envies the Birds is the tarmac blueprint where a tower block once stood, "the channel worn through rock where a river runs in flood, the indentation in the grass where an animal slept last night".
A new podcast focuses on four poems from Envies the Birds, recorded at the foot of the Cholera Monument, Sheffield; D'Roza's readings are interspersed with reflections on the vegetal layering of nearby Clay Wood, and the rapid layering of the city skyline. Listen to the podcast below:
Envies the Birds was launched at The Fat Cat, Sheffield on 18 May 2016. Details of future readings and events will be posted here.

PM Najib's keynote address at Invest Malaysia Kuala Lumpur
Bismillahhirahmannirrahim
Assalammualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
1. Seven years ago, in 2010, I introduced our New Economic Model – right here, at Invest Malaysia. This model was designed to transform Malaysia into a high income nation, and our country into a more inclusive, equitable and sustainable society, with no one left behind, opportunity made available for all, and the right fundamentals put in place to secure a stable and successful future.
2. We had a plan of reform, economic transformation and taking the tough but responsible choices. And it is clear today, that, aided by the hard work of millions of Malaysians, the plan has worked and is continuing to work.
3. Let the facts speak for themselves:
4. Between 2009 and 2016, Gross National Income has increased by nearly 50 percent, and GNI per capita using the Atlas method increased to US$9,850. Based on the World Bank's latest high income threshold of US$12,235, we have narrowed the gap towards the high income target from 33 percent to 19 percent.
5. 2.26 million jobs have been created, which represents 69 percent of the 3.3 million target we want to reach by 2020. Clearly, we are making the right progress towards those goals.
6. Inflation and unemployment have been kept low. We have attracted unprecedented levels of Foreign Direct Investment, which shows the confidence the world has in Malaysia.
7. But no wonder. For our growth has been the envy of the advanced economies, even during years of turmoil for the global economy. This year, the World Bank has upped their estimate. We are expected to record a rise in GDP of 4.9 percent, considerably higher than their earlier prediction of 4.3 percent.
8. Others have also increased their predictions – Morgan Stanley now says 5 percent, while Nomura's forecast is for the Malaysian economy to grow by 5.3 percent this year. Only yesterday, the IMF have reviewed their forecast from 4.5% to 4.8%. And growth is expected to be higher next year. So we are on the right trajectory.
9. Other sets of figures support confidence in Malaysia. In the first quarter of 2017 our trade, for instance, recorded an increase of 24.3 per cent – up to RM430.5 billion – compared with the same period last year.
10. In March, exports breached the RM80 billion mark for the first time. At RM82.63 billion, it was the highest monthly figure for Malaysian exports ever recorded.
11. The capital market increased by nine percent to a level of RM3.1 trillion in the first six months of this year, and now ranks fifth in Asia relative to GDP. It continues to attract wide interest from both domestic and foreign investors. In fact, in the equity market there were net inflows of RM11 billion in the first half of 2017, compared to RM3 billion of net outflows during the whole of 2016.
12. The Malaysian bond market grew to RM1.2 trillion in 2016, while our Islamic capital market has recorded a hugely impressive average annual growth of 10 percent over the last six years, reaching RM1.8 trillion in June 2017.
13. Malaysia is also home to the largest number of listed companies in ASEAN. At US$29 billion, Bursa Malaysia also recorded the highest amount of funds raised in the last five years in any country in our ten nation association.
14. And our currency, the ringgit, has been described by Bloomberg recently as, and I quote, "easily the strongest major Asian currency this quarter, climbing twice as much as the next best, the Chinese yuan."
15. All of this can point to only one conclusion – our economy continues to prosper, and we are stronger than ever as a result of the reforms and the programmes the Government has put in place.
16. The markets, the business community and companies like strength and stability. They want the certainty provided by a Government that understands that the prosperity of its people is best served by being business-friendly, and that sovereignty is not compromised one inch by the record Foreign Direct Investment this Government has secured.
17. No. It will help build the new Malaysia of the 21st century, and bring many benefits, from knowledge and skills transfers, to a rise in the standard of living for the people.
18. The business community wants the certainty of knowing that the Government is committed to the necessary reforms, and is committed to fostering a culture of entrepreneurship and to transparency, accountability, and good regulation.
19. On that note, I can announce that the Government has, in principle, agreed to the establishment of an Integrity and Governance Unit at all GLCs, and State and Ministry-owned Business Entities, under the supervision of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, precisely to strengthen the confidence all can, should, and do have in Malaysia.
20. The international business community knows that it has that certainty – with this Government. Indeed, they are voting with their feet. HSBC is investing over RM1 billion to build its future regional headquarters in the Tun Razak Exchange, recognising Malaysia's increasing status as an international financial and business centre.
21. Broadcom Limited, one of the world's largest semiconductor companies with a market capitalisation of nearly half a trillion dollars, is going to transfer its Global Distribution Hub from Singapore to Malaysia in 2017, from where it will manage the group's global inventory of RM64 billion a year.
22. Huawei, a leading global ICT solutions provider which serves more than one third of the world's population, has made Malaysia its global operation headquarters, data hosting centre and global training centre, with a total project cost of RM2.2 billion and employing more than 2,370 people.
23. Saudi Aramco is investing US$7 billion – that's its biggest downstream investment outside the Kingdom – for a 50 percent stake in Petronas's Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development in Johor. That is the single largest investment in Malaysia, and shows the confidence Saudi Arabia has in our people, our technology, and our ability to be a strong partner with their most important business.
24. Others who are already here are expanding their operations. Finisar Corporation, a global technology leader in optical communications, will invest a further RM610 million in its operation in Perak – bringing its total investment in Malaysia to RM1 billion.
25. Coca-Cola has already invested RM1 billion in Malaysia since 2010. It announced in March an additional RM500 million investment to expand the size and production capacity of their plant at Bandar Enstek.
26. I could go on and on. The point is that the confidence and certainty global businesses have in Malaysia brings jobs, lifts wages and helps our workforce upskill.
But, ladies and gentlemen,
27. It is this Government that offers that certainty to businesses both in Malaysia and overseas. The opposition offers none at all. They are in chaos. Two leading members of one party can't agree if the old opposition alliance still exists in the state of Selangor. "Yes, it does", says one. "Oh no it doesn't!" says the other. It's like a Punch and Judy show!
28. And the latest leadership structure the opposition announced is farcical, sounding a bit like a return-to-work programme for old age political pensioners!
29. It is also cynical and deceptive, with three leaders but no clarity on who has executive power among them, and DAP kept deliberately invisible despite controlling the opposition behind the scenes with the vast majority of their Parliamentary seats.
30. As for their Prime Minister candidate, the opposition is so desperate they are now trying to make the people believe it will be a nonagenarian – who isn't even a member of parliament, and whose party has just one seat!
31. But the truth is that in a democracy numbers don't lie, and DAP remains by far the most dominant party in the opposition. The DAP leader of the last half century is now hiding behind the man who jailed him, trying to deceive Malays into thinking that former leader is their interim candidate for Prime Minister.
32. Neither can the word of the opposition be relied on. Just recently, a leading member in one party said that, if Malaysia had such good relations with Saudi Arabia, why had the hajj quota not been increased? But it has! Twice this year, from 22,230 to 27,900 and then up to 30,200.
33. That's another example of the benefits this Government's policies bring to the people of Malaysia – in this case, our foreign policy of forging friendships abroad, rather than holding grudges for decades, as that certain former leader still does.
34. But you won't hear about the very real benefits from our engagement with Saudi Arabia, China, India or anywhere else from the opposition. In fact they'll tell barefaced lies about it, just as they have been feeding lies about the economy and stoking fears of economic disaster in Malaysia.
35. There has in fact been a concerted campaign to send such misinformation overseas to damage Malaysia's economy for their own selfish political objectives. So if you receive these smears, or you read it in publications that do not check the facts properly, please beware.
36. It is not fair to the Malaysian people, and it's not fair to the business community, both at home and abroad.
37. They, and you, deserve the truth. So let me tell you what a cross-section of respected international bodies have to say about this Government's record.
38. The OECD's most recent economic assessment of Malaysia stated, and I quote: "Malaysia is one of the most successful Southeast Asian economies… thanks to sound macroeconomic fundamentals and its success in transforming its economy into a well-diversified and inclusive one."
39. We are ranked second in ASEAN in the World Bank's Doing Business Report 2017 – and 23rd overall, among 190 economies globally.
40. We were ranked second among the Southeast Asian nations in the World Economic Forum's Human Capital Index 2016, up one place from last year's third spot.
41. We are ranked third among 190 economies, worldwide, for Protecting Minority Investors, by the World Bank Doing Business Report 2017.
42. The World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report 2016-2017 ranks Malaysia fourth among 138 economies for Strength of Investor Protection.
43. We rank eleventh out of 125 countries in the Venture Capital and Private Equity Attractiveness Index, by the IESE Business School in Spain.
44. The ratings agency Fitch recently reaffirmed our A- rating and stable outlook.
45. And a recent survey by BAV Consulting and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania declared Malaysia to be the "Best Country to Invest In". It said, and I quote, "Malaysia is the clear frontrunner in this ranking, scoring at least 30 points more than any other country on a 100 point scale."
46. There is clear international unanimity that Malaysia is on the right course, and the figures and accolades I have reported to you today are the direct result of this Government's steering of the economy through uncertain and choppy global waters.
47. IMF reported that the resilience of our economy was due, and I quote, to "sound macroeconomic policy responses in the face of significant headwinds and risks." And these sound policies are the reason why they said that: "Malaysia is among the fastest growing economies among peers."
48. And lastly, the World Bank has showed that it agrees as well. In its latest report, issued just last month, it said that the Government's "macroeconomic management has been constantly proactive and effective in navigating near-term challenges in the economic environment."
49. It concluded, and I quote: "The Malaysian economy is progressing from a position of strength."
50. Does that really sound like the Malaysian economy is failing, and that we are in danger of going bankrupt, as the opposition would have you believe?
51. I think the World Bank, the OECD and the IMF know what they are talking about – and I'm sure, ladies and gentlemen, that you do too.
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
52. We have only arrived at that position of strength because we put in place a far-reaching economic plan; and because we have been unafraid to take the tough decisions to build up the resilience of the Malaysian economy.
53. We have diversified government sources of income, including reducing reliance on oil and gas revenues from 41 percent in 2009 to 14 percent today. Given the huge drop in the price of oil, just imagine how we would be suffering if we had not done that.
54. We also needed to widen the tax base, and so, in common with around 160 other countries, we introduced a Goods and Services Tax, or GST. It was not popular, but it was the right thing to do – as every reputable economist has confirmed.
55. GST has helped us in our determination to steadily reduce the deficit – we are on course to reduce it to three percent this year, from 6.7 percent in 2009 – and GST has been crucial to retaining our good assessments by the international ratings agencies.
56. Yet the opposition say they would abolish it. Tell me, from where exactly would they produce the RM41 billion collected in GST revenue last year? Out of a hat?
57. If GST was abolished, it would not just be a matter of a revenue shortfall. The deficit would rise from 3.1 percent to 5 percent. Our ability to fund the construction of schools, hospitals and other essentials would be affected.
58. Government debt would rise above our self-imposed level of 55 percent of GDP. Our sovereign credit ratings would then be downgraded. Lending costs for all, such as loans for personal use, for business and for housing, would increase. The people would suffer, and they would suffer directly.
59. One of Malaysia's prominent independent analysts, the Director of Economics at the Institute of Strategic and International Studies Malaysia, had it right when he said the idea of getting rid of GST was, and I quote, "preposterous" and "economically nonsensical". "I don't think anyone in their right mind would want to do that," he said.
60. It is another example of what the opposition do when faced with tough decisions: they seek the easy or the populist way out, regardless of whether it makes sense or is even possible. They are not being straight with the Malaysian people.
61. This Government, however, will always be straight with the people and we will always do right by the people. We will always put their interests first, from economic welfare to security. Even if it is not the most popular thing to do, we will not hesitate – because it is the responsible thing to do for the country.
62. This is also one of the reasons I am not very popular with that certain nonagenarian. Under his leadership many corners were cut, and the Malaysian people had to pay a very high price so that a few of his friends benefitted, even when symbols of national pride had horrendous and catastrophic decisions inflicted on them.
63. But I say to you now that under this Government, we are cracking down on crony capitalism. No more sweetheart deals. No more national follies kept going to stroke the ego of one man. No more treating national companies as though they were personal property.
64. Because it is the people who suffer, and we will not tolerate a few succeeding – and not on their own merits – while the many are denied opportunities, all for the interests of a selfish few.
65. Now some of you may be thinking that I have not mentioned national companies where there have been issues. At 1MDB it is now clear that there were lapses in governance.
66. However, rather than bury our heads in the sand, we ordered investigations into the company at a scale unprecedented in our nation's history. Rather than funnel good money after bad to cover up any issues 1MDB may have faced – the model embraced by a former leader – I instructed the rationalisation of the company.
67. And it is progressing well. Indeed, many of the assets formerly owned by 1MDB are thriving. One only needs to drive past Tun Razak Exchange to see the new construction for confirmation.
68. But let's not forget that while there were issues at 1MDB, certain politicians blew them out of proportion, and tried to sabotage the company, in an attempt to topple the government in-between election cycles.
69. At the time we knew the real issue was not 1MDB, and that if 1MDB hadn't been around they would have chosen another line of attack to try to illegitimately change the government. So we stood steadfast, and resolute, in the face of this orchestrated campaign. Because we will not be deterred from our duty, as the democratically elected government, to serve the nation.
70. Our priorities were made crystal clear when we introduced the concepts of the "capital economy" – which refers to the macro perspective – and the "people economy", which is focused entirely on the people, the most precious asset of our great country.
71. We face challenges ahead, of course. We need to improve productivity. We need to raise the levels of education and skills. We need to put innovation and creativity at the heart of the economy of the future.
72. This why we have partnered with the Chinese technology leader Alibaba to create the Digital Free Trade Zone, the world's first special trade zone that will promote the growth of e-commerce, and provide a state-of-the-art platform for both SMEs and larger enterprises to conduct their digital businesses and services.
73. This initiative is part of the digital roadmap which aims to double e-commerce growth from 10.8 per cent to 20.8 per cent by 2020.
74. But we can only achieve such targets with the people, and by empowering the people. To ensure the dignity of all, we have virtually eliminated poverty, to less than one percent. We are delighted that the income of the bottom 40 percent households has been increasing at a compound annual growth rate of 12 percent since 2009, when I took office.
75. But we know that cost of living issues hit those on low incomes the hardest; which is why we distributed RM5.36 billion in 1Malaysia People's Aid, or BR1M, to 7.28 million households in 2016. This is why we ensured that essential foods and necessities are zero rated for GST.
76. At the same time, we have many agencies promoting affordable housing programmes, and why we built and restored nearly 95,000 houses for the rural poor last year. Other affordable housing projects include PPA1M, for civil servants; PR1MA, for the urban middle income group; and the People's Housing Programme for the lower income group, or Bottom 40, with monthly rents as low as RM124.
77. Infrastructure, too, is absolutely vital. It is crucial for our cities, and life-changing for rural communities. From 2010 to 2016 we delivered 6,042 kilometres of new rural roads, provided 350,000 houses with access to clean water, and connected 154,000 houses to electrical services.
78. At the end of last year, the first phase of the Mass Rapid Transit project was completed, and recently, the second phase of the Sungai Buloh-Kajang MRT Line has been launched. We now have 51 kilometres of operational line with 31 stations.
79. This will take 160,000 cars off road, making Kuala Lumpur more liveable. It created 130,000 new jobs, of which 70,000 are direct employment. And best of all, it was completed ahead of schedule and RM2 billion below budget. We are now planning for MRT 2 and 3.
80. The Pan Borneo Highway in Sarawak and Sabah will be a game changer for our people there, encouraging greater mobility, boosting industry and tourism and creating thousands of new jobs.
81. In a few years time we will have the first high-speed rail link connecting Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, which will cut travel time between the two cities to 90 minutes, as compared to more than four hours by car.
82. And the East Coast Rail Link will bring huge benefits, jobs and a new connectedness to the people of Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan in particular.
83. In other areas, we are seeing the benefits of our programmes for all the people. The national pre-school enrolment rate rose to 85.6 percent in 2016, for instance, as opposed to 67 percent in 2009; and we have achieved almost universal enrolment for the five years and upwards age group.
84. Women have seen great strides as well. The female labour force participation rate has increased from 46 percent in 2009 to 54.3 percent last year. That's over 700,000 more women in the workforce.
85. And I am delighted to be able to announce that Malaysia has reached its target of women making up 30 percent of top management – that's 1,446 women, out of a total of 4,960 in top management excluding CEOs, as of December 2016.
86. We want to go further, though, and have set 2020 as the date by which we want all Public Listed Companies to have at least 30 percent women at board level. Because we know that when women succeed, we all succeed.
87. Unfortunately, we still have 17 'top 100' PLCs that have no women at all on their board. This just is not good enough, and I call on these companies to immediately address this lack of diversity. I would like to announce that, from 2018, the Government will name and shame PLCs with no women on their boards.
88. As many of you will know, SMEs make up 97 percent of businesses in Malaysia, and one of the hallmarks of my administration has been its support and encouragement for this backbone of our economy.
89. So I am pleased to be able to officially launch today the Leading Entrepreneur Accelerator Platform Market, or LEAP Market, by Bursa Malaysia. This is a new qualified market which will offer an alternative way for small and medium companies to raise funds and grow their business to the next level.
90. It is in line with our SME Masterplan which aims to raise the share of GDP contributed by SMEs, their numbers of employees, and their volume of exports.
91. And it is another of the many initiatives that my Government has put in place in pursuit of our transformation, and that prove our trustworthiness as a business-friendly government of a vibrant economy.
92. We want you to see Malaysia as a gateway to ASEAN and the region, and with the eventual conclusion of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership or RCEP, we want you to see Malaysia as a base from which to access almost 50 percent of the world's population, and over 30 percent of global GDP.
93. This year, we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of independence. From relatively humble beginnings, we have grown and evolved into a modern economy and society with a record to be proud of. But we are looking to the future as well – which is why we have produced the 2050 National Transformation, or TN50, initiative.
94. Through TN50, we want to listen to our Rakyat. We want them to be heard. And through our dialogue sessions, we are listening to the aspirations of our youth for what they want the Malaysia of 2050 to be.
95. As the Prime Minister of Malaysia, I want to lay out the foundations needed for our nation to be counted among the very top countries in the world. We want that competitive edge, and to be a knowledge-based society – but we must always work towards those goals in ways that are sustainable, inclusive and equitable. No Malaysian must ever be left behind. All must participate and benefit from this amazing journey that we are on.
96. We invite you be to part of that journey, and I hope today we are able to shed light on the tremendous opportunities that Malaysia has to offer. We urge to you to look at our potential; to look at the great achievements the Government's Transformation Programme has delivered, and continues to deliver; and invest in Malaysia.
97. Once again, let me welcome you to Kuala Lumpur. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the organisers and to wish you all a very successful conference.

Navigating a truck accident lawsuit can be difficult and complex. Individuals who are involved in a truck accident should immediately consult a truck accident attorney. A truck accident attorney can help accident victims to collect evidence, handle the appropriate documentation, and provide guidance throughout the legal process.
Depending on the nature of the truck accident, a number of parties can be held liable. Negligent parties responsible for a truck accident may include the driver, the trucking company employing the driver, another driver involved in the accident, and third parties such as manufacturing and maintenance companies of the involved trucks or vehicles. In order to determine a truck accident lawsuit's defendant, or party being sued, a number of factors must be examined to determine the cause of the accident.
Immediately after a truck accident, immediate scene investigation will occur on the part of the trucking company and its insurance company. These investigations are typically detailed and thorough. The investigation process may include collecting witness statements, taking photographs of the accident scene, and examining vehicles for the extent of damage.
After the truck accident lawsuit is filed, the defendant and the plaintiff, or the party filing the lawsuit, may agree to reach a settlement. If a settlement is not agreed upon, the truck accident lawsuit may proceed to trial. A truck accident lawsuit may be determined by a judge or a jury. A truck accident lawsuit can take up to years to complete the proper gathering of evidence and the trial itself.
When a truck accident lawsuit is filed against a trucking company, it can be difficult and time-consuming to collect damages. Larger trucking companies and their insurance companies are typically well-organized and well-funded. This allows these companies the power to provide extensive defenses in order to avoid losing a truck accident lawsuit and owing damages to the plaintiff. To defend against experienced companies, the plaintiff should seek a knowledgeable truck accident lawyer with a proven track record in truck accident lawsuit success.

Scott Hatteberg Speaker Profile
Former First Base for the Cincinnati Reds
Scott Hatteberg Hiring and Booking Information
Scott Hatteberg Biography
Scott Allen Hatteberg (born December 14, 1969 in Salem, Oregon) is a former American Major League Baseball first baseman and catcher.
The Oakland Athletics signed Hatteberg to play for Oakland under a one-year contract with a $950,000 base salary plus incentives the day after he was released by the Red Sox. There was one catch---because Hatteberg could no longer throw the baseball, he would have to play first base.
In January 2002, Hatteberg signed with the Oakland Athletics and became a first baseman and designated hitter for four seasons. Hatteberg, originally considered a horrible first baseman, blossomed in the position under the tutelage of Oakland infield coach Ron Washington.
Hatteberg's conversion from catcher to first baseman by the A's is the subject of a chapter in the Michael Lewis' book Moneyball. Oakland General Manager Billy Beane speaks openly about how the team pursued Hatteberg because of his high on-base percentage, which, A's management had determined, correlated most often to runs scored. Beane also mentioned that it was one of the most affordable skills at that time for small-market clubs like the A's.
Being an everyday player, Hatteberg helped the A's reach the playoffs twice in 2002 and 2003, hitting 49 homers and batting .269 from 2002-2005.
A widely noted career highlight came for Hatteberg as a member of the Oakland A's on September 4, 2002. With a historic 19-game winning streak on the line and the game against the Kansas City Royals tied at 11 after the A's had blown an 11-0 lead, Hatteberg slammed a 1-0 pitch well over the right center field wall for a walk-off home run to give the A's a 12-11 win and an American League record 20-game winning streak.
On February 12, 2006, the Cincinnati Reds signed Hatteberg to a one-year, $750,000 contract. He was originally expected to give the Reds flexibility at first base, backing up Adam Dunn. When the Reds traded Wily Mo Pea to the Red Sox, Dunn moved back to the outfield, and Hatteberg shared first-base duties with Rich Aurilia.
On August 8, 2006, Hatteberg recorded his 1000th career hit against Jason Marquis of the St. Louis Cardinals at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. He went 3-for-5 in this game, increasing his batting average to .323.
On May 27, 2008, Hatteberg was designated for assignment by the Reds to make room on the roster for top prospect Jay Bruce. During the first weeks of the 2008 season Hatteberg had been reduced to pinch-hitting with rookie Joey Votto assuming first base duties for the Reds. Pinch-hitting was new to Hatteberg, and he admitted that it was a role in which he was not particularly comfortable. On June 4, Hatteberg was released to make room for Jay Bruce.

Young Girl to Receive $1,000 from ThedaCare Foundations
When Ella Bast of Combined Locks announced she would like to donate the gifts from her 5th birthday to the emergency department at ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah, the emergency staff knew they would meet a special young girl.
"Ella's generosity is the definition of paying it forward," said Ashton Reno, manager for the department at ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah. "When her sister was in the emergency department last year, donated gifts were given to them both. They appreciated the gifts so much that Ella wanted to do the same thing for someone else."
Now, that kindness is coming back to Ella. The ThedaCare Family of Foundations is awarding Ella a $1,000 scholarship in recognition of her kindness and to encourage future leadership and generosity in the community.
"Young people like Ella who make generous gifts like this are making a difference in someone's life and helping us carry out our mission," said Courtney Weiland, vice president of philanthropy. "They are the future of our community, and we want to recognize children like Ella and encourage them to continue to lead by example."
In April, Ella asked her birthday guests – 26 children in all – to bring a gift for the emergency department instead of for her. The emergency department hands out new gifts such as stuffed animals, sippy cups, puzzles, games, stickers, coloring books and pajamas to young children or their siblings when they visit the department to help keep them occupied and calm. These gifts are sent home with the child.
Ella went even further by using the gift cards she received to purchase additional items on the department's wish list.
Community donations of time, talents or collected items like Ella's help the Foundation support ThedaCare in its mission of improving the health of our communities by enhancing best-in-class access to expert, local care. The Foundation hopes Ella's thoughtful example will encourage future leaders to give back to their community and further enhance the legacy of Theda Clark Peters, who dreamed of a better life and better health for people in Northeast Wisconsin.
To learn more about the ThedaCare Family of Foundations and the impact of donor support, or to make a donation, please visit www.thedacare.org/Foundations or email Foundations@thedacare.org.
For more than 100 years, ThedaCare® has been committed to finding a better way to deliver serious and complex healthcare to patients throughout Northeast Wisconsin. The organization serves over 200,000 patients annually and employs more than 6,800 healthcare professionals throughout the region. ThedaCare has seven hospitals located in Appleton, Neenah, Berlin, Waupaca, Shawano, New London and Wild Rose, as well as 31 clinics in nine counties and the ThedaCare Regional Cancer Center in Appleton. ThedaCare is the first in Wisconsin to be a Mayo Clinic Care Network Member, giving our specialists the ability to consult with Mayo Clinic experts on a patient's care. ThedaCare is a non-profit healthcare organization with a level II trauma center, comprehensive cancer treatment, stroke and cardiac programs as well as a foundation dedicated to community service.

Stick with a 130 as the rim is only a 2.50 and a 140 will be too big.
Mitas E09 is better and cheaper. Lasts about 2 1/2 times as long. TKC is a good road tyre but not as good off road as the Mitas despite it looking very knobbly. TKC front and Mitas rear is what I have found to be a good compromise. That said, I will probably try the new Mitas MC23 on the front and maybe the rear next time round as the TKC is poor on anything other than dry hard pack.


During January 2017 The coal imports of India fell by 22% and reached to 14.31 million tonne in compared to January 2016 figure was 18.28 million.The main reason for fall in demand is the discoms as in inventory they had enough coal.
In the coming months, reducing the dependency on imported coal the government has again planned. By replacing it with the locally produced coal, the centre and state power sector utilities are planning systematic reduction of use of imported coal.
In the fiscal year 2017, the monsoons were good and impacted the demand for thermal power in the country. This is the main reason for reduced demand from power utilities and state discoms.
In the month of December 2016, the non-cooking coal imports of January fell down when compared with the imports.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Darius Garland scored 32 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat San Antonio 114-109 on Friday night, extending the Spurs' losing streak to five.
Cleveland held San Antonio scoreless for five minutes starting with 6:05 remaining in the fourth and outscored the Spurs 30-23 in the quarter.
"We knew we had to most importantly get stops. That was the main thing," Garland said. "If we got stops, we knew that we were going to at least get a good shot up or score. As long as we got the stops down the stretch, we felt confident in our offense."
Jarrett Allen finished with 17 points and 16 rebounds for Cleveland, which won its third straight and fourth in five games.
Dejounte Murray had 30 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists for San Antonio, which is 1-7 in the new year. Keldon Johnson added 18 points and Bryn Forbes had 15.
The Spurs struggled against Cleveland's frontcourt of 7-footers Evan Mobley and Lauri Markkanen, and the 6-11 Allen.
Mobley added 15 points and Markkanen had eight.
The trio also helped stymie Spurs center Jakob Poeltl, who was scoreless on just four field goal attempts and no free throws.
Cleveland shot 53% from the field in the first half, with a pair of alley-oop dunks to Mobley and Allen. The Cavaliers finished with four alley-oop dunks. Allen threw down the final one with 1:53 remaining to give the Cavs a 108-103 lead seconds after Markkanen stuffed a one-handed dunk over Poeltl.
"There is a connectedness in our group where they talk to one another, they hold each other accountable," Cleveland coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. "They have a collective spirit to want to get it done. When you have that, there is no fracturing, there is no separation. Everybody comes together and they go out and compete and try to get the job done. I thought they did a great job of that."
The Cavaliers had a 20-point advantage in scoring 60 points in the paint. The Spurs attempted to keep pace by going 15 for 34 on 3-pointers but couldn't maintain a lead in the third quarter.
"They are trying their best, we've just got to do it better," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "We've got to have fewer turnovers. We've got to have better block outs and not give up as many offensive boards. Good decisions on shots, finding the 3-man better.
"There are lots of things we can improve, but we have to be patient to some degree because the combinations that we have, they have basically never played together and some of them are quite young. That's going to take some time. They're taking their lumps now, but Cleveland is a hell of a team."
San Antonio was on a 15-6 run in the final 5 ½ minutes of the period to take its largest lead before Cedi Osman drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer to pull Cleveland within 86-84.
"Those hurt," Allen said. "Those hurt a lot more than it shows on the scoreboard. It's just deflating. You go on a big run like they did and then here I'm pretty sure Evan made the pass to Cedi and it was a swish. You could feel the crowd was deflated. You saw the Spurs just walking off to the bench. It's tough when you have that momentum and it's just shut down like that."

Popovich said he does not know when either will return. … Murray leads San Antonio in points, assists and steals, and is second in rebounding. He entered the game averaging 18.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 2.1 steals. … Drew Eubanks missed the game with an unspecified illness, which was not COVID-19. Eubanks was in uniform, sitting with the team on the bench.
PRAISING LOVE
Popovich praised Cavaliers forward Kevin Love for putting the U.S. Olympic basketball first leading into Tokyo last summer.
Love was not fully healthy from a right calf injury that sidelined him for much of last season. So, Love voluntarily gave up his roster spot on the U.S. team after spending 10 days preparing for the Olympics.
"He was in a really tough spot," Popovich said. "He did everything he could to be ready to go physically, but he got dealt a bad hand. Everything was so compressed. The NBA (season) went so long, and the Olympics started quicker. So, there wasn't as much time as I think he thought he had to get back to where he wanted to be. But he wanted it badly. He worked his fanny off every day to get that medal. At one point he realized there wasn't going to be enough time to do it. And then what he did was unbelievably impressive to me. I thought it took a lot of courage."
Cavaliers: At Oklahoma City on Saturday.
Spurs: Host Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.

Nate Lawrence underwent induced pediatric hypothermia at birth. Here he is, at 1, with his parents, Elizabeth and TJ.
Nate Lawrence was born in Winchester Hospital in Massachusetts, December 16, 2010, in severe distress. He was limp, purple and not breathing. Both his lungs had collapsed.
As his parents and grandparents began to descend into panic, the neonatology staff at Winchester went into action.
They took x-rays of Nate's chest, put a breathing tube down his throat, wrapped a turban around his head and placed him in a clear acrylic transportation box. Children's Hospital Boston, 13 miles to the east, had been alerted that Nate was on his way. The ambulance team was instructed not to turn on warmers or swaddle Nate. He was to arrive at Children's a cool 92.3 degrees, more than six degrees below normal.
Nate was born hypoxic, which means that because of his collapsed lungs, insufficient oxygen was flowing through his blood and into his brain. Lack of oxygen, like Nate's, can lead to cell injury or cell death and ultimately to irreversible brain damage. To halt this potential deterioration, Nate's body needed to slow down. Cell metabolism had to be lessened and his demand for oxygen reduced. He needed to operate on less energy and to rest.

Demi Lovato gets emotional as she shares how she gained control of her life following relapse and eating disorder
The songstress talked eating disorder and relapse
March 5, 2020 - 19:42 UTC By Tionah Lee
Demi Lovato found a safe space to share more details about the events that led up to and followed her 2018 drug overdose. The Sorry Not Sorry songstress appeared on the Ellen Show on Thursday, March 5, where she spoke about the "control" from her old team that encouraged her eating disorder and her near-fatal overdose. "I've lived a life for the past six years that I felt wasn't my own," the 27-year-old told the talk show host. "I struggled hard with an eating disorder, yes, that was my primary problem, and then it turned into other things."
©Michael Rozman/Warner Bros.
Demi Lovato got candid about her eating disorder and relapse with Ellen
Demi revealed that her team would take all things containing sugars, even fruit, out of dressing rooms. One of her biggest accomplishments came in August, when she was finally able to enjoy a real birthday cake, versus the "watermelon cake" she was served for past celebrations.
Demi Lovato shares he new outlook on body acceptance
"For many years I didn't have a birthday cake, I had a watermelon cake. So for years I did that and it kinda became this ongoing joke, but I really wanted a birthday cake," she shared. "This year when I turned 27, Scooter Braun my manager gave me the best birthday cake. I remember crying because I was finally eating cake, with a manager who didn't want anything from me and that loved me for who I am and supported my journey."
Demi Lovato shares the meaning behind her life-like tattoo
Now, the Confident singer can proudly celebrate overcoming her disorder. Unfortunately, the issue spiraled and was a factor of her relapse. "I realized that overtime as the things with the eating disorder were getting bad. My bulimia got bad. I would ask for help and didn't receive the help that I needed," she said as she got emotional. "Here I am sober, but I'm thinking to myself, 'I'm six years sober and I'm more miserable than when I was drinking, why am I sober.
©@ddlovato
The 27-year-old shared that she finally has the control of her life that she didn't before
For Demi, who will release her latest single I Love Me on Friday, part of the healing came from admitting that it was her own mistakes that took her down the path, and that it's okay.
"Ultimately I made the decisions that got me to where I am today, It was my actions that put me in the position that I'm in," she said. "I think that it's important that I sit on this stage and say that if you go through this, you yourself can get through it you can get to the other side and it may be bumpy you are a 10/10 don't' forget it. As long as you take the responsibly you can move past it and learn to love yourself the way you deserve to be loved."

Football signing day experience planned
Boulder City High School football is gearing up for another successful season, starting Wednesday, May 4, when it hosts its annual eighth-grade signing day for incoming freshmen.
Mirroring college football's national signing day experience when athletes put their pen to paper to sign with their respective universities, the Eagles will welcome in their next crop of prospects, ready to carry on the winning tradition head coach Chris Morelli and his staff have created.
"These eighth-graders that we have coming in are very important to our program," Morelli said. "This signing day is just something special for those kids, welcoming them to our football program."
Building a winning culture, the Eagles have compiled a 20-11 record and two playoff appearances over the past four years, excluding 2021's canceled season due to COVID-19, a vast improvement from their 5-22 record from 2016-2018.
Citing participation numbers as the lifeline of the program, the Eagles have been able to field a varsity, junior varsity and freshman teams the past few seasons, helping younger players prepare for success while keeping the varsity roster stocked with talent.
"Honestly, participation numbers are the deciding factor in whether we will be successful or not," Morelli said. "The past few years we've had really great turnouts when it came to our freshman class and that sets us up for success down the road."
After hosting its signing party in the theater at 5:45 p.m. for eighth-grade prospects, there will be an information meeting for all players at 6:30 p.m.
Morelli said he will discuss the team's plans to attend a 7 on 7 tournament at San Diego State University in June and a football camp hosted by Emmitt High School in Idaho in July, along with fundraising opportunities for what he expects to be a full season.

Back Environment The News Tidy Planet signs exclusive Italian partner to help reduce country's food waste
Tidy Planet signs exclusive Italian partner to help reduce country's food waste
Macclesfield-headquartered Tidy Planet has expanded its operations into Italy, appointing environmental solutions firm Ecologia Soluzione Ambiente (ESA), as the exclusive Italian partner of its food waste composting technology.
The move aims to promote greater resource efficiency – through using food waste recycling solutions – across the Italian and Egyptian markets.
ESA – the 17 million-turnover company – has over 50 years' experience within the environmental sector and several specialist divisions, including wastewater treatment, landfill remediation, waste collection systems and plants which demilitarise arms and explosives.
An increasing appetite in Italy for composting and decentralised food waste infrastructure is the main driver behind the partnership – which will see ESA receive a range of Tidy Planet's Rocket Composters in 2021.
Commenting on the food waste landscape in Italy, Tidy Planet's composting expert, Huw Crampton (pictured), said: "Italy, like many other European Union (EU) Member States, is under pressure from its government and policymakers to minimise its carbon emissions, and demonstrate the country is working towards the United Nation's 17 sustainable development goals.
"Environmental awareness is growing in Italy, and composting is becoming an increasingly favoured solution. This is also coupled with a new update in Italian law, which allows small-scale, municipal composting to be implemented more easily – making it a higher, and more favourable, priority on the waste management agenda, especially for the public sector."
Numerous pilot projects will be taking place in Italy, this year.
Elaborating on the current landscape in Italy, ESA's president, Enrico Benedetti, said: "There's an upward composting trend in our country at the moment – with a handful of municipalities having already released tenders to supply in-vessel composters to remote communities.
"At the heart of this partnership is the desire to equip our nation's villages with improved waste equipment and a more sustainable infrastructure for the future.
"If we're able to process our food wastes at source, this will not only reduce disposal costs, but it will also drastically decrease our carbon footprint – with less collection vehicles on the roads – and allow for a landfill diversion strategy that truly improves the recycling and segregation of food waste."
The country's Biorepak scheme – which centres around extended producer responsibility for compostable packaging – also came into force in 2020, to help reach the Waste Framework Directive's target of recycling 65% of municipal waste by 2035.
"At ESA, we're always intent on expanding our circular economy offering, so we contacted Tidy Planet last year to combine our skills and experience," Benedetti added.
"We knew they had a global client base and a strong reputation in industry, and this greatly complemented ESA's strong technological know-how and international presence – the partnership was a perfect fit.
"We visited some of their decentralised composting sites in the UK prior to the pandemic and were really impressed with the systems and the results, hence the decision to represent them in our homeland.
"We're excited to launch the university project this year and look forward to working closer with the firm, to help our country meet its recycling targets in 2021 and beyond."

Panther football wins homecoming game
Ellsworth Community College football got its second win of the season Saturday in there homecoming game against Fort Scott Community College. The Panthers were down a couple of key players, but the team rallied to win 32-14.
Two passes from the Panthers' JuJuan Young-Battle in the first quarter propelled the Panthers to a 16-0 lead. Young-Battle connected with Marcel Williams on a 35-yard pass and then with Jaleel Scott for a 4-yard touchdown pass.
Young-Battle went out of the game with an injury in the second quarter, and Mitch Weiland took over for the Panthers. Fort Scott tried to answer the Panthers' first two touchdowns with one of their own in the second. ECC kept the lead, still up two touchdowns with a pass from Wieland to Williams to end the first half 22-7.
"Mitch did a good job coming in off the bench," commented ECC Head Football Coach Jesse Montalto. "He threw for a touchdown on his first pass. He managed the rest of the game for us."
The Panthers were held scoreless in the third quarter, while Fort Scott scored one touchdown. ECC got the momentum going again in the fourth quarter when defensive lineman Tyler Chaudoin sacked the Fort Scott quarterback in the end zone for a 2-point safety. The Panthers scored another touchdown with a carry from Solomon Cooper for 25 yards to make the final score 32-14.
"Tyler's safety was the difference maker for us," commented Montalto. "It took us to a two score game, from 8 to 10 points. The guys could relax and finish the game off after that."
Young-Battle is currently leading the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) in passing yards per game (290.1) and touchdowns (17). Jerry Jones is leading the ICCAC in receiving yards per game with 87.6.
"This was a great win for the kids after everything they have been through. We are proud of their perseverance. They were able to over come a lot and get the win for homecoming."
The Panthers will be on the road for their next three games. The next stop will be at Independence Community College on Oct. 17, with a 1 pm kickoff time.

The newspaper says three exterior windows were shattered, while two windows on the upper level of the press room were damaged but didn't shatter. The press room is no longer in use.
The newspaper in Kentucky's second-largest city says police confirmed Monday they are investigating the incident as criminal mischief, and investigators believe the damage is consistent with small-caliber bullet damage.

Network Marketing Training - Step One Never Talk to Anyone, Ever!
The idea to me of network marketing training brings up images of standing in front of a room of hopefuls learning how to roll over objections on the fly, keeping the smile throughout, keeping ever aware that I was not hearing the word 'no.' Well guess what? That's not me. And more than likely.it's not you either. I did NOT join the mlm community to become a used car sales person.
I am not a wiggle room when it comes to honesty kind of a guy. My idea of the best network marketing training was all about finding a way to build a FULLY automated online PROCESS that would do all of the heavy lifting for me LONG BEFORE I ever put myself in front of anyone! Trying to convince other people that this new program you're in is "the one" is insanity. How do they know that.hey, how do YOU know it? You don't. I wanted network marketing training in a big way because I had failed at every conceivable program you can name. Pills, potions, diet aids, soaps, debt relief, real estate, forex.
you name it. Huge and utter failure. I knew I needed network marketing training but I knew I needed the kind of training that was going to fit into my personality.
And fit into the toolbox of my strengths. I wanted a FULLY automated 24/7/365 way to find the best people, convince them that I was representing the greatest company with the most explosive product (online gaming) inform them of all the wonderful new tools THEY would soon have, and then.and this is the biggest part.
I WANTED TO GIVE THEM THE PROCESS I JUST GOT! Why? Because if it worked for me, without me being involved, it would work for them! That's the network marketing training that finally got me to here. To not having to ask my dumb brother in law to take a look at my new program. Because with the network marketing training I got, the kind that taught me an automated PROCESS, I don't need the guy! Now, you can't possibly, I mean possibly, NOT want to see this process or this company for yourself, can you? Can you?.

Due to the abbreviated time of preparation, with our mosque being under construction, we could only get three speakers for this year's event," Mahmood said.
Although the Ahmadiyya Muslim Women's Auxiliary of Dallas is hosting the event, the Interfaith initiative is specifically part of the larger world community of the organization.
"Our community spans 207 countries, and we are now all across America. We all try to build bridges and create a peaceful community. We started in 1889 in India and have stressed justice and service to humanity," Mahmood said.
The event will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 3, at the Allen ISD Distribution Center, 1451 N. Watters Road in Allen.
