7 places to visit in Kent
For an action-packed family day, the English Heritage property perched on Kent's famous White Cliffs is hard to beat. Take time to walk the battlements and enjoy breath-taking views towards France.
Explore the Great Tower and unearth fascinating facts about its history.
You can also relive the turbulent times of the Second World War as you tour the underground hospital tucked away within the Secret Wartime Tunnels. Make sure you set aside the whole day – there's a lot to do.
Canterbury Tales
Ever wondered what it would be like to step back in time and experience the sights, sounds and smells of a bygone era? At the Canterbury Tales you can do just that.
Step into medieval Canterbury and accompany Geoffrey Chaucer's colourful characters on their magical pilgrimage from London to the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral.
Along the way, their stories of love, romance, jealousy and trickery are vividly recreated. Ideal for a rainy day.
Bewl Water
Hidden in picturesque countryside, straddling the border between Kent and East Sussex, Bewl Water is a hive of activity during the summer months.
The reservoir, set in 1,000 acres of land, has a popular cycle path and water sports including wind surfing, rowing and canoeing.
There is also a cafe and bistro which offers breathtaking views of the reservoir. It's just off the A21 at Lamberhurst, 15 miles from Tunbridge Wells.
It is billed as being the loveliest castle in the world and it seems visitors agree. Leeds Castle has been a Norman stronghold, a royal palace, and an elegant early 20th century retreat for the rich and famous. More recently though it has become one of the most visited historic buildings in Britain, with more than half a million people going through the gates each year.
There's plenty to explore besides the fortress itself, with 500 acres of parkland, a maze and an underground grotto. There are also free falconry displays and boat and train rides to keep families busy.
Ideal for a fine and sunny day, a drive through some of Kent's beautiful countryside surrounding Tunbridge Wells brings you out to this little gem. Penshurst is a pretty, unspoilt, village with quaint tea rooms.
At the top of a hill just outside the village is the Spotted Dog, a 15th century pub with beams and open fires, and breathtaking views over Penshurst Place and Gardens.
The ancestral home once owned by Henry VIII is one for all the family as well as those interested in history. There's an adventure playground, gardens and a restaurant.
Samphire Hoe
This amazing place, on the coast between Dover and Folkestone, was made from the material dug to create the Channel Tunnel and the further you get from the car park, the more wild the site becomes.
Flowers, birds, sea angling, peace and quiet, painting or walks – there is something for everyone.
Guided walks and other activities are regularly organised.
There is also a snack kiosk.
There's 700 years of history and award-winning gardens at 13th century Hever Castle, near Tonbridge. There's plenty for everyone from three to 103 – including the water maze.
Situated on Sixteen Acre Island at the 700-year-old double-moated castle – once the childhood home of Anne Boleyn – the maze has stepping stone walkways which send out jets of water at odd intervals, soaking surprised visitors.
The aim is to reach the stone grotto in the centre without getting wet. Under fives must be accompanied by an adult. Just don't forget the towel!

VALLEY NATIVE'S BOOK ADOPTED BY GIULIANI * KRISTIN DONEY PERSUADED THE NEW YORK CITY MAYOR TO READ HER WORK IN SCHOOLS.
The minute Kristin Doney saw New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani wave to the crowds from a float during the New York Yankees' World Series championship parade in 1996, she knew she was going to convince him she should write a children's book about New York City.
After all she had convinced Andrew Lloyd Webber she could do a book about "Cats" after it broke the record for the most performances on Broadway.
But the friends she was with that day in New York laughed at her. Never, they said, would she be able to get through City Hall's doors to sell her idea to the mayor.
But they did not know the indomitable Doney spirit.
At 1 p.m. today, Doney, a Pen Argyl native, will be standing next to Giuliani at a downtown Manhattan public school for the unveiling of the children's book she illustrated and wrote.
The book, which took about a year to finish, is titled "What Will You Be?" and details through whimsical sketches the variety of careers awaiting children. Its 10,000 copies will be given out by the mayor to city schoolchildren when he visits and reads to them, which Doney said he does on a regular basis.
Not only did Doney get through City Hall's doors, but the mayor was a collaborator on the 32-page book. "He had wonderful suggestions," she said. "It was a thrill to go in and show him sketches and drawings and see him excited about them and the rhymes."
Despite her friends' forebodings, Doney started the day after the parade, calling City Hall and being passed from one person to the next, telling them all she had a great idea for the mayor.
Her phone arm was tired, but her spirits soared when finally, the mayor's top aide, Cristyne Lategano, listened and invited her to City Hall. "When I told her my idea, a book about what children could see in New York City," Doney said. "She thought that was really neat." Doney also showed her portfolio of illustrations.
It wasn't long before Lategano called Doney to tell her the mayor liked the idea, but wanted to see how she would draw him.
Although she had yet to meet the mayor, Doney drew the sketch as she would do for her illustrated books. Giuliani liked it, but decided the book should be about careers.
For the next year, Doney would draw the sketches, write the rhymes and then take them back to the mayor for approval. She consulted endlessly with his staff and became such a familiar figure at the front door, all the security people knew her.
In every sketch, Doney integrates careers. A resident of Greenwich Village in the city, Doney will create a street scene with an outdoor cafe, have dancers in the window of a ballet school, an artist at her easel (Doney herself), a veterinarian fixing a dog's injured paw, a florist, a barber, an art supply store, a late-night talk show host.
In every picture, children of all races study and play together. She also includes a child in a wheelchair or another wearing a sling. "I always have that in my drawings, because if there is such a child, they won't feel they are different," she said.
Doney had the mayor's dog Goalie in all the sketches. The yellow Labrador was adopted by the Giulianis after it could not be a seeing-eye dog and named after Mike Richter of the New York Rangers.
Delighted with the dog, Doney would like to use him again for another book she is thinking about.
The book was funded privately through Goldman Sachs while Courier Corp. Bookmart Press was involved in the printing. If the book is sold in the City Hall bookstore, profits will go to print more books.
Doney, who has been drawing since she was 3, doesn't think her talent is exceptional. "In New York, there is great talent," she said. "That is the ultimate challenge. So when I arrived in New York two years ago, I knew, in order to make it, I had to prove myself. My artwork is no better than anyone else's. I just have to get it out there."
And that is what she did with the "Cats" book. She started with the stage people and finally called Webber to promote her idea for the record breaking musical.
She credits not her genes, but her family environment for the artistic talents that have flourished in her relatives. Her father, Bob Doney, is a distinguished artist; her brother, a jazz musician; and now her nephews and nieces all are displaying artistic talents. And in all her drawings, you can find a Doney, either as a musician, a painter or even in a sign, such as E. Doney Jazz Trio.
Talent, genes, environment, whatever. Hustle has to be Doney's middle name. As a child, she would take her drawings and paste them over her father's paintings at art shows. She also taped her drawings to the family gate, near Pen Argyl High School, trying to give her art to those who passed by.

Q: How to generate extra files with the command python manage.py startapp xxx? There is some way for the "python manage.py createapp xxx" command to generate some extra files like, e.g. xxx.urls, statics.dir, template.dir, etc.
I would like to be able to avoid the work of having to generate the files and directories that I might need later. files as for example; app.urls, statics.dir, etc

A: You can create your own Django commands. Example:
python manage.py execute_my_command

The structure of your folders should be similar. The project will be called test and the structure will be the following:
test
   management
      commands
           __init__.py
           execute_python.py
      __init__.py

Within our project tests is the folder management, within these commands and within command our python file, which has the name of the command to be performed. Inside execute_python is where the command code will be:
from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand

class Command(BaseCommand):
help = "Ejecuta archivo python archivo_a_ejecutar.py"

def handle(self, *args, **options):
    self.stdout.write('Ejecutando comando')
    os.system("python archivo_a_ejecutar.py")

A: The startapp command [Django-doc] has a --template flag. As the documentation says:

--template TEMPLATE
Provides the path to a directory with a custom app template file or a
  path to a compressed file (.tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tgz, .tbz,
  .zip) containing the app template files.

For example joshvillbrandt/django-quick-start-app [GitHub] contains such template. You can fetch a zipped copy with https://github.com/joshvillbrandt/django-quick-start-app/archive/master.zip. This repository contains, as you can see, a templates and static directory, as well as an urls.py, views.py, tests.py, admin.py, etc.
So you can run the startapp command with:
manage.py startapp --template 'https://github.com/joshvillbrandt/django-quick-start-app/archive/master.zip' myappname
You can of course look for another repository that contains a template. Furthermore you can define your own template that contains an app the way you like it.

Find Hmx-h300bn/xaa Charger Radioshack 2022
The good news is that since today RadioShack. Hmx-h300bn/xaa Charger Radioshack… has officially been acquired by Retail Ecommerce Ventures (REV), providing the distressed business a brand-new lease on life. The downside, at least for folks like us, is that there are no immediate plans to return the iconic electronic devices seller to its brick-and-mortar roots. As the name implies, REV specializes in online retail, having actually previously revamped the Web existence of other bankrupt businesses such as Pier 1 Imports and Dressbarn.
While the press release doesn't straight-out prevent the possibility of new physical RadioShack places, it's clear that REV believes the future of retail isn't to be found in your local shopping center. As the United States mulls further lockdowns in response to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, it's difficult to disagree. There will be countless bored kids and grownups trying to find something to do during the long winter nights, and an electronic kit or 2 shipped to their door might be simply the thing.
REV says they plan to relaunch the rather outdated RadioShack site in the nick of time for the company's 100th anniversary in 2021. As of this writing the site currently states that sales have actually been momentarily stopped to enable stock restructuring, though it's uncertain if this is directly related to the buyout or not. Getting a precise count of how much merchandise the business still has on hand after shuttering the majority of their physical areas in 2017 definitely seems like something the new owners would wish to do.
Like the majority of you, we have fond memories of the Golden era of RadioShack, back prior to they believed selling televisions and phones was in some way a great concept. To their credit, they did attempt and revive their relationship with hackers and makers by asking the community what they 'd want to see in their shops. We all understand how that story ended. While it doesn't appear like this news will get us any closer to having a neighborhood shop that stocks resistors, there's a certain convenience in understanding that RadioShack books and kits will still be around for the next generation.
RadioShack's shambling remains were given another shock of life today when they were bought by another business that plans to relaunch the once-great seller as an online-focused brand name.
The store's remains were acquired by Retail Ecommerce Ventures (REV), a startup founded in 2019 that's been scooping up brands from other faded retail giants also, consisting of Pier 1, Modell's Sporting Goods, Dressbarn, and more. REV says RadioShack's site currently has "strong existing sales and sales potential," and the company is "confident" it can even more raise awareness of the brand name globally.
REV declares it's successfully reversed other companies it's introduced as online brand names. The Wall Street Journal reported that Dressbarn more than doubled its income in between the first and second quarter of 2020.
RadioShack was founded in 1921 and ended up being a retail staple in the '80s and '90s for anyone looking to get tech essentials. REV didn't say whether those RadioShack licenses would stick around. Hmx-h300bn/xaa Charger Radioshack
REV states it will "soon relaunch" RadioShack's site. For those of you still clinging on to fond memories of the shop, there'll be a familiar enough location to go when you want to purchase costly HDMI cables and knockoff earphones.

Maritime woman shares details of her struggle with stiff person syndrome
One of the most successful singers of all time has exited the music stage.
Céline Dion, the award-winning singer best-known for her hit "My Heart Will Go On," has gone public with her diagnosis of stiff person syndrome, which impacts one in every one million people.
Linda Cox heard the news last night.
"When they listed her symptoms, they listed mine," said Cox from her home in Bear River, N.S.
Cox went home sick from work 25 years ago with stiffness in her right leg. It took four years before she was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome.
Stiff person syndrome affects the brain and spinal cord and it can be triggered by loud sounds and bright lights.
"Spasms can get so bad they can break your bones --- a balloon bursting or a car horn blowing," said Cox. "When I would go to outpatients, if the lady was going to vacuum, she would come tell me so I wouldn't be startled when she turned it on."
Those with stiff person syndrome live in fear of spasms.
"As a result, if they are walking across an open area, even though they may seem normally able to walk, if they hear a sound, the person may freeze up, fall over and hurt themselves," said Dr. Andrew McKeon from the Mayo Clinic.
Cox has been forced to use a cane and sometimes a walker.
"I am scared to leave the house, to go outdoors," said Cox. "I start to get tense."
According to her son, Nick, the diagnosis has impacted his family's lifestyle.
"She was a very hands-on volunteer, always driving us to sports and band," he said. "And then all of a sudden, it stopped. Someone who was always out in the community doing stuff for her boys couldn't leave the house and was afraid to leave the house."
Cox was saddened by the Céline Dion diagnosis. However, because of Dion's fame, she said there is a possible upside to this recent diagnosis.
"I haven't come across anyone who has heard of it," said Cox. "Now people are going to hear of it."
And that could lead to awareness, fundraising and maybe a cure.
The Canadian economy grew by 0.1 per cent in November as higher interest rates began to slow spending toward the end of the year.
The Farmers' Almanac just revealed its spring 2023 forecast and Ontario, along with much of the rest of Canada, is expected to see a "turbulent transition to warmth," the agency predicts.

The value of IT adoption has been and still is a crucial question for the decision on IT adoption. In this paper we suggest a research model that aims at defining the integrative value of adoption of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. The integrative value is described from the Resource Based View of the firm (RBV) and will be measured as impact on firm performance. The research model suggests six hypotheses that will be tested and analysed with data from a questionnaire among firms that have adopted both ERP and CRM systems in their organization. Due to the nature of the research model and the fact that it has not been tested in the past, the data analysis will be supported by Partial Least Squares (PLS. Our aim with this research project is that it will provide new knowledge on how integration between systems can positively influence value from IT investments, but also how different software such as ERP and CRM provides value to systems integration as well as process integration.

Planning a winter wedding may sound absolutely wild. Why have a wedding in the freezing cold? However, winter weddings can be utterly romantic and magical. With the right preparations, your wedding will feel warm and lovable. Here are a few tips for a great winter wedding!
Don't feel the need to stick to traditions of matching the season. If they want strapless dresses? Rock it. If they want long sleeve dresses? Rock that too. Choose the dresses your bridesmaids will be comfortable wearing. As a majority of the wedding will be held indoors (with a high chance of a heated venue), don't stress it too much. Make sure your bridesmaids have chances to get warm throughout the cold parts. Warm bridesmaids = happy bridesmaids.
There are so many wedding venues, picking one that clicks with what you're looking for is crucial. For winter weddings, look for venues that will easily be accessible to guests. This is especially important if you're having a wedding in an isolated location. Check with the venue on how road conditions leading there get in the winter. Another idea is to make sure the hotel hosting your guests is very close to the venue, making transportation to and from a breeze. Maybe even throw in a shuttle bus. A convenient location makes it easy for your guests to attend your winter wedding without too much burden.
Your wedding needs a warm and cozy reception to fight off the chilly outdoor weather. To achieve this, incorporate candles into your reception décor and use warm colored fabrics in decoration. The room will feel romantic and cozy before you know it!
Since its crazy cold out there, you may need to turn up the heat in your venue. However, if you notice that the place is getting too hot and that guests are starting to sweat, you may need to ask your wedding coordinator to lower the heat a notch or two. This is something you should ask your wedding coordinator to keep an eye out for. Another option is checking if your venue has separate thermostats for the different areas of the reception space. This way, they can set the maximum heat of the dance floor lower and that of the sitting area higher to protect visitors from freezing.
Traditionally, winter weddings use bright whites, beautiful reds and deep greens. However, you don't have to follow this tradition. Feel free to try a different combination of colors. This may prove tough for you since most people aren't style experts in this field. As a result, consider getting help from your wedding planner or ask for opinions from your wedding photographer. Do what makes you happy and don't worry about the rest!
6. Prepare For the Worst-Case Scenario.
As you plan a winter wedding, it's important to ask yourself questions such as; what would happen if there's a blizzard no one can make it to the wedding?
Make sure to check with your vendors on what happens if you cancel the event due to unavoidable weather conditions. Often they will allow you to reschedule at a minimal cost, though if you know you're having a winter wedding this is something good to check on from the start. Also keep in mind your vendors may be booked on a different day, so make sure to ask about that as well. Consider getting wedding insurance for extra protection on your special day.
That's all the tips we have for now! Do you have any great ones you know of? Feel free to comment with them below!

Lake Highland Prep located in Orlando, FL utilized the Myrtha panels from the 96′ Olympic water polo pool (originally constructed as a temporary pool for the Olympics). The pool is 25 yard x 50 meters w/a minimum depth of 2 meters. A 30′ x 75′ training pool w/3′ to 4′ depths was also constructed at this facility.


The owner of a Putnam County tree-service company was charged Monday with aggravated manslaughter of a child in the August falling death of 14-year-old Blake Bryant, the Clay County Sheriff's Office said.
Jonathan Harves Wilkes, 37, of Palatka turned himself in at the Sheriff's Office and faces a maximum of 30 years in prison.
The 14-year-old was working for John Wilkes Tree Service at a Middleburg home on Scenic Drive when he climbed a tree to cut off part of it, but fell about 50 feet to his death, the Sheriff's Office said.
Initially deputies said Blake cut his safety harness with a chain saw, but the arrest warrant doesn't indicate that.
Brian Sturtecky, the area director for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, said the harness was severed by pressure from a large section of the tree shearing off.
Wilkes' arrest warrant said the pine tree was 71 feet tall and Blake climbed about 68 feet of it with a chain saw. Blake began a multiple step process to cut off the top of the tree by first cutting off 2 feet then climbing down about 19 feet.
The warrant said the weight of the "block" Blake cut caused it to fall sooner than anticipated.
Sturtecky said OSHA will release its report no later than the end of the week. However, there will be sanctions and fines against Wilkes, he said.

PREGNANT SCHOOLGIRLS ARRESTED IN TANZANIA IN HARSH ANTI-SEX CAMPAIGN
January 10, 2018 keesto International 0
Tanzanian authorities arrested five pregnant schoolgirls together with their parents and then released them on bail as part of a crackdown to end teenage pregnancies in the region.
Authorities are reportedly looking for the men who impregnated the girls. Records indicate that over 50 girls have become pregnant over the last 24 months.
The policy of punishment endorsed by President John Magufuli was widely criticized by activists after he told a rally: "As long as I am president … no pregnant student will be allowed to return to school … After getting pregnant, you are done."
A law dating back to the 1960s allows all state schools in Tanzania to ban young mothers from attending. Over the past decade more than 55,000 Tanzanian pregnant schoolgirls have been expelled from school, according to a 2013 report by the Center for Reproductive Rights.
Dinah Musindarwezo, executive director of the African Women's Development and Communications Network, Femnet, was particularly critical of the government's harsh stance towards the girls who get pregnant.
"(President) Magufuli's remarks could push girls into child labor and reinforce gender stereotypes leading to gender-segregated jobs," she wrote in an opinion piece in The East African. "This goes against the African Union's efforts to increase the number of girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics."
"When he took up the presidency, Magufuli was adamant about fighting corruption to ensure equitable development. That was before his homophobic and sexist remarks started. What he should know is that it's impossible to achieve development without achieving gender equality as various studies have shown."
A recent Human Rights Watch report revealed that Tanzania and Sierra Leone were the worst offenders in the area of denying teenage mothers an education. It said that over 8,000 Tanzanian girls drop out of school every year due to pregnancy.
More Tanzanians oppose the President on this issue, according to a recent survey. According to "Reality check: Citizens views on education", by the group Sauti za Wananchi, 62 per cent of citizens polled prefer that girls be allowed to resume school after giving birth.
Only 21 per cent want girls to be expelled and not allowed back.

Pokemon Go is the new app that is sweeping the nation. It's a gaming app that sticks to the original concept of Pokemon of catching them all, and defeating gym leaders. But, this app has people jumping out of their seats with excitement, literally.
Pokemon Go uses Google Maps to place Pokemon around the world. Players use a tracking system to locate Pokemon in a 30 meter radius. Once the player finds the Pokemon, they then use the camera on their smart phone to aim and throw a Pokeball at the Pokemon to capture it.
An estimated number of 9.5 million people are banding together to become the next Pokemon master. The app has groups of friends searching around their towns and cities to catch'em all. It sounds fun, right? So here are five basic tips to get you started, so that you and your friends can join in on the action.
The tracking system is located in the lower right hand corner of your phone showing you what Pokemon are in a 30 meter radius of your location via Google Maps.
Notice how your persona emits a constant circle almost like they are using radar or echolocation? This circle extends up to 10 meters so that you can more accurately pinpoint Pokemon.
Pull up the tracking system now. Notice there are footprints by each Pokemon? Each footprint represents 10 meters. So, if the Pokemon has three footprints by them then they are 30 meters away. If the Pokemon has one footprint then they are only 10 meters away from you and you need to go catch them!
Pokemon evolve once you obtain the right amount of candy depicted in their summary.
Stardust is used to power up the combat level (CP) of your Pokemon.
It is recommended you wait to use these on a high CP Pokemon so that when they evolve they have the highest amount of CP possible.
Many Pokemon are concentrated in popular places around you such as downtown or famous landmarks.
If you want to find a certain type of Pokemon, then look for them in their natural environment. You will find water Pokemon by sources of water, ghost Pokemon at night, and grass Pokemon in fields and forest.
Some Pokemon can only be caught by walking a certain amount of kilometers to hatch them from eggs or by evolving them.
Pokeballs are naturally the most important item you need to capture Pokemon. Be sure to regularly stop by Pokestops to flip the icon with a swipe of your finger to get more.
Items such as incense and lures will attract wild Pokemon to you, but use them sparingly as there aren't many.
Be sure to get rid of any items to make room for more, as your backpack can only hold so many items.
You can challenge gyms once you are level five.
Attack the other Pokemon by rapidly tapping on them.
You can dodge by swiping right or left.
Use a special attack by pressing and holding your finger on the other Pokemon.
Pokemon Go is still a new app, and not everyone has discovered all of the secrets yet. Gather your friends, download the app, find the secrets, and become the next Pokemon master! Good luck!

text: The grandson of famed Mexican character actor and comedian Pedro Gonzales Gonzales, Clifton Collins, Jr. launched his own career as a film and television performer in the late 1980s. At first, Collins' Latino heritage assured him steady work in stereotypical roles - thugs, police officers, troubled youth - in features like "Menace II Society" (1993) and "187" (1997). But his versatility and dedication to craft allowed him to spread his wings in a wider variety of characters, appearing in higher-profile picture like "Traffic" (2000), "Capote" (2005) and "Babel" (2006). An Emmy nominee for the short-lived "Thief" (FX, 2005-06), Collins was a frequent guest star on episodic series, and even began adding producer credits to his CV in 2005, making him one of the more versatile and talented young actors to have emerged on the scene.


EXCERPT: Last year I gave a talk on "The Popular Uncanny" at Parsec, and Heidi Ruby Miller (my colleague in the MFA program at Seton Hill U, and my co-editor for the book, Many Genres One Craft), kindly interviewed me about the subject for SIGMA. I decided to return the favor, as she's coming to speak to the group again on October 8th. If you haven't met her before, you'll see that Heidi is always effervescent and excited to talk about genre fiction. Here's a taste of her wide range of interests and passions.
MIKE: Tell us briefly about your latest book, STARRIE.
HEIDI: Starrie was a nice side project within the Ambasadora-verse that adds to the main series' mythos and sets up some events in Book 2: Scarred by Light. Surprisingly, it's been my most critically acclaimed book so far, even though it's not part of the original series.
Read the entire interview in SIGMA.


The Violence Against Women Act allows spouses and children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to self-petition to obtain a green card. VAWA allows certain battered immigrants to self-petition without the abuser's assistance. In order to qualify, an immigrant must have been battered or subject to extreme cruelty by the U.S. citizen or LPR spouse during the marriage or be the parent of a child who was battered or subjected to extreme cruelty by the U.S citizen or LPR spouse.
In order to qualify, an immigrant must be legally married to a U.S. citizen or LPR abusive spouse. A self-petition may be filed if the marriage was terminated by the abusive spouse's death within two years prior to filing. A self-petition may also be filed if the marriage was terminated by divorce related to the abuse within two years prior to filing. The immigrant must have been battered or abused in the United States unless the abusive spouse is an employee of the United States government or a member of the uniformed services of the United States. The immigrant must have been battered or subjected to extreme cruelty during the marriage, or must be the parent of a child who was battered or subjected to extreme cruelty by the abusive spouse during the marriage. The self-petitioning spouse must be a person of good moral character. Finally, the self-petitioning spouse must have entered into the marriage in good faith, and not solely for the purpose of obtaining immigration benefits.
A self-petitioning child must qualify as the child of the abuser as "child" is defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act for immigration purposes. Any relevant credible evidence that can prove the relationship with the parent will be considered.

DFW Instrument LLC Manual and Automatic Static Testing Equipment for Aircraft Applications
DFW Instrument LLC produces innovative flight line pitot static test equipment for all types of aircraft applications.
We have a long history of developing solutions for our customers and, as a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) 145-approved repair station, we understand the need for high-quality, safety-focused, practical test sets.
EASA-approved flight line digital static test sets
The Univ-20-40 Universal Vacuum Tester is a precision, manually controlled, portable, flight line digital static test set, which has been engineered using direct customer feedback.
The single-channel set delivers controlled total static pressure outputs to simulate inHg, mbar, psia, mmHg, and PSI / min parameters. The product is compact, lightweight, and can fit in the overhead bins on most commercial aircraft.
The Univ 20-40 test set is highlighted in the recent EASA Airworthiness Directive (EASA AD) No: 2017-0223, dated 10 November 2017, which covers the ATR 42 (400 / 500 series), and the ATR 72 (100 / 200 series) aircraft.
Single-channel test sets for all aircraft applications
The Univ 20-40 is used by airlines, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), as well as corporate operators. It is also deployed by flight departments and general aviation owners around the world.
The approved testing kit is used by Bombardier (C300 / 350, Global 5000, 6000, 7000 & C-Series), Gulfstream G100-G650, and the ATR 42 / 72 series.
The Univ 20-40 is being tested by Dassault Falcon and is going through the approval process with several other OEMs.
When the Airworthiness Directive was released, the Univ 20-40 was modified to handle European input power requirements from 110V / 240V AC input power, without any external power adapters required.
Automated testing kits with complete units of measurements
Each test set is shipped with a 15ft hose and 6ft power cord. Adjustments can be made via special order if necessary, and the test set comes with a two-year parts and labor warranty.
The test set has a 4 inch micro-graphic touch panel, providing complete units of measurement such as inHg, mbar, psia, mmHg, and vertical speed PSI/min.
The set automatically calculates the difference between the ambient pressures upon start-up, and static leak rate modes generate calculations for user convenience.
The Univ 20-40's sensors also provide temperature compensation functions for extreme flight conditions.
Rugged test sets for airline safety / pressure relief valve and cabin oxygen masks
Made in the US, the test set has a rugged construction, which is ideal for commercial, government, or military (special mission) use. Its Ruggedized Case is constructed to meet MIL-STD-810F and FED-STD-101C standards.
The on-board state-of-the-art digital sensor technology is calibrated and meets the National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) specifications.
Its case is watertight and pad-lockable to provide security, as well as loss prevention.
The Univ 20-40 has multiple applications and is particularly suitable for safety / pressure valves.
It is part of a full line of testing equipment, which includes manual and automatic, two-channel, as well as three-channel AOA test sets.
For more information on this kit or our complete line of units, please contact us via the enquiry form for a detailed specification document.
Safety Valve – Functional Check
The UNIV-20-40-XX was designed to overcome the challenges routinely faced when performing the functional test on the safety / pressure relief valves.

The following is a guest post from Jill Christensen. Jill is the President and Founder of Jill Christensen International and her forthcoming book is, If Not You, Who? Cracking the Code of Employee Disengagement.
If rewarding high performers only or giving company-branded coffee mugs to the masses regardless of their results isn't effective, what is? There's nothing more effective in the workplace—and in life in general—than a sincere thank you for a job well done. That's it. Be it written or spoken, the most powerful form of recognition in the world is to know that we matter and are appreciated … it's one of the greatest human needs.
Another added benefit to verbal recognition is that it's a two-way street. The employee on the receiving end of the thank you benefits and you do too. Being grateful can improve your well-being and physical health, and people who are thanked are more willing to provide further assistance. In a recent recognition study, 32 percent of participants who received a neutral email volunteered to help again. When the leader expressed his gratitude, volunteerism skyrocketed to 66 percent.
Be Sincere: The most important part of saying thank you is being sincere. People are smart. If you thank them out of obligation, they'll know. Speak confidently, showing that you mean every word you say, and be honest. Open up and speak from your heart.
Be Timely: It's more effective to dole out the praise as close to the timing of the event as possible vs. waiting days or weeks to thank the employee. When an employee is thanked in real-time, it re-enforces the positive behaviors that the employee exhibited.
Be Specific: When recognizing an employee, content is king. The recognition must be specific to the person and highlight his/her role in the accomplishment. When people are praised for something specific, it increases the likelihood that they will repeat the positive behavior.
Don't underestimate the power of a simple thank you. When it occurs frequently it will help create an environment that people love where they can soar, so your company meets or exceeds its goals. Saying "thank you" often is a simple and inexpensive way to fuel your employees—and your employee engagement levels—forward.


Eskom announced the sponsorship of four maths and science research centres to schools in Kouga at a function on Friday in Jeffreys Bay.
Eskom also announced that they are waiting for the Thyspunt ROD from the Department of Environmental Affairs and are hoping for an answer by May.
Thyspunt has been earmarked for the construction of a nuclear plant in the Eastern Cape.
"There is no other power generating system in the Eastern Cape at the moment. Thysunt supports the development of the Eastern Cape.
This site is a very good site, so from a nuclear and safety point of view it's the best site.
On a plot like this you are looking about a 10 billion dollar spend of which a quarter will be used locally," says nuclear specialist, David Nichols.
Eskom Group Executive, Abram Masongo, says: "If you look at the environmental incidents on the nuclear they are very minimal.
Thyspunt Alliance's Kobus Riechert says, "We are anti-site selection. We say the Thyspunt site should've never been considered as a potential site for this nuclear program because of its sensitivity.

Canada Book Week, 2003: Canadians Ordered to Read Novel as Part of National Book Club
[ HOME ] | Previous Story | Next Story | Issue 40 April 29 - May 14, 2003
The classic, and unreadable 1923 novel by Montreal writer Fletcher MacCameron (1870-1937), soon to be read by every Canadian, come hell or high water.
Although next to nobody, save for a couple of "book-readin'" types, knows it, it's Canada Book Week. As part of the celebrations for this momentous event, a national edict has been issued by the federal government, in conjunction with CBC Radio's 'Canada Reads, Dammit' program.
Inspired by Oprah Winfrey's wildly successful book club, inspectors from the federal book club will be soon distributing a copy of Canadian writer Fletcher MacCameron's 1923 novel Sharecroppers of Chicoutimi to every household in Canada. During the next week, every Canadian aged 16 and over will be required to read the novel before Sunday, June 1, when it will be discussed in a national book club roundtable, which will be simulcast live on CBC Radio, so circle your calendars.
Attendance is compulsory.
A riveting tale of hardship among peasant Québécois gravy farmers in parochial, turn-of -the century Quebec, Sharecroppers of Chicoutimi was chosen because of its quintessential 'Canadianness,' according to University of Smiths Falls Literature and Word Scramble/Crossword Puzzle Professor Bernie Hoofah, who was part of the selection committee for the national book reading.
"We selected Sharecroppers of Chicoutimi because of its impenetrable prose, convoluted plot and dull, one-dimensional characters," said Professor Hoofah. "It's damn near impossible to read. We figure that'll give people something to complain about when they're forced to discuss it in public.
"More interesting than everyone saying, 'I loved it.'"
To ensure full compliance, federal inspectors will be making follow-up visits at the homes of designated 'problem readers' to monitor progress. (Our microphones, (held by people) followed inspectors as they made a visit to a home. Listen to what transpired here.)

"Canadians will read what we tell them to read," said Dieter Eichmann, Director General of the federal book club program. "Progress is coming along as fully expected."
Continued Eichmann: "Our stromtroopers, I mean, inspectors, will be making unannounced visits, just to make sure that no Canadians are falling behind in their reading.
"And don't tell us you've already read the book, because we know that is a lie! No one has read this book!"
Eichmann pointed out to those who hope to slip through the cracks, that under the recently-passed Federal Book Club Act, 2002, those caught not reading the book could be subjected to fines, severe guilt-tripping for being poorly read, or in extreme cases, forced to listen to Stuart McLean blather on and on about his Aunt Matilda's blueberry muffins or something equally tedious.
Celebrated television comedian Mary Walsh, a coordinator of the Canada Reads, Dammit program, praised this new 'guerilla reading' initiative: "It's the Warrior Princess approach to book clubs."
"Just 'skimming through it' is not acceptable. You must read the entire book, including the acknowledgements."
-Canada Reads, Dammit spokesperson Margaret Atwood warns Canadians.
Walsh scoffed at critics of the mandatory book club's alleged harshness: "Even if a few people get roughed up, it's a small price to pay to get everyone reading and discussing the same novel. I dream of a world where all people are reading the same book at the same time, so that its merits may be later debated in a dry, aloof manner on a radio panel show."
To facilitate reading of the book for those who don't read much, remedial group reading sessions will be held in various communities across Canada, during which people will be invited to all get in the same big room and read from Sharecroppers of Chicoutimi out loud.
Many 'average' Canadians seemed concerned about the national book club edict.
"Jeez, some dude in jackboots just showed up at my door and told me I had to read this book," complained Dave Woolstencroft, of Smuggler's Armpit, B.C. "And he didn't even wipe his feet. How rude."
Diane Yakurtsk, a Montreal-area florist, was also troubled by the implications of it all. She probably still is, as well, although we can't be sure: "I'm not really a big reader. I don't like....books. Is there like a Coles notes version available? Does anyone have crib sheets?" asked Yakurtsk.
"Reading a book? That's for like, English students," grumbled University of Waterloo Engineering student Bobby Demerklesen, who pointed out that he does read the sports section in the paper nearly every day.
Others were less worried about the national book club's forced reading initiative: "Ah, I'm hoping to bluff my way through it, just like med school," said Dr. Tolbert Fourunderpar of Winnipeg.

Our kids loved the dolphins!!! Very fun place to be.
Awesome , lots to see great encounter attractions.
My daughter loved the dolphin and sea lion shows and we did too.

OSWEGO, N.Y., Oct. 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") (NASDAQ:PBHC), the holding company for Pathfinder Bank ("Bank"), announced third quarter 2017 net income available to common shareholders of $907,000, compared to $820,000 for the third quarter of 2016. Earnings per diluted share of $0.22 for the third quarter of 2017 increased by 10.0% compared to $0.20 per diluted share for third quarter 2016. Third quarter 2017 revenue (net interest income and total noninterest income) of $7.0 million increased $751,000, or 12.0%, compared to $6.3 million for third quarter 2016. Nine-month net income available to common shareholders was $2.6 million, up 14.4% from $2.3 million for 2016. Diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2017 was $0.63, an increase of $0.08, or 14.5%, compared to $0.55 per diluted share in 2016.
Third quarter 2017 net interest income increased $704,000, or 13.3%, to $6.0 million compared to $5.3 million for the third quarter of 2016. The improvement was due to the $1.3 million, or 20.5%, increase in interest income. This improvement principally resulted from an increase of $94.3 million, or 20.3%, in average loans compared to the prior year quarter, as well as a $37.4 million increase in average investment securities combined with a 37 basis point improvement in the yield on the securities portfolio. The increase in interest income was partially offset by higher interest expense which increased $578,000 to $1.5 million, primarily because of an increase in both the average balances of, and the interest rates paid on, borrowings, time deposits and core deposit accounts.
Net interest income for the first nine months 2017 increased $1.9 million, or 12.9%, to $17.1 million compared to $15.1 million for the comparable period of 2016. Interest and dividend income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $21.5 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 20.5%, compared to $17.8 million for the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily a result of average loan growth of $88.8 million, or 19.9%, compared to the prior year period. Interest expense of $4.4 million for 2017 increased by $1.7 million, or 63.4%, from $2.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily because of a $24.5 million increase in the average balance of, and a 118 basis point increase in the rate paid on borrowings. Additionally, interest expense was elevated by growth of $28.9 million in the average balance of time deposits and an additional $57.0 million of growth in MMDA deposits coupled with 25 and 10 basis point increases in the interest rates paid on those deposits, respectively. The net interest margin for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, was 3.10% and 3.00%, respectively, compared to 3.28% and 3.21% for the respective periods of 2016. The lower net interest margin for third quarter 2017 was primarily a result of a 21 basis point increase in funding cost that was related to the above-described increase in the average balance of, and interest rate paid on, borrowings and time deposits. Average interest-earning assets increased by $130.5 million compared to the prior year quarter, driven primarily by growth in average loans of $94.3 million and a $37.4 million increase in average investment securities. Interest-bearing liabilities increased by $128.5 million, primarily due to a $54.3 million increase in average MMDA account balances, and an increase of $36.7 million in average time deposits. The decline in the net interest margin for the first nine months of 2017 was primarily a result of a 22 basis point increase in funding costs. These funding cost increases resulted from a 118 basis point increase in the rate paid on borrowings along with a $24.5 million increase in their average balance, and a 25 basis point increase in the rate paid on time deposits coupled with a $28.9 million increase in the average balance of these deposits.
The third quarter 2017 provision for loan losses was $420,000, an increase of $98,000 from $322,000 for the prior year quarter. The provision for the three month period primarily reflects the continued significant growth in the Bank's commercial and other lending portfolios, and is indicative of stable asset quality metrics for the reporting periods. The provision for the first nine months of 2017 was $1.2 million compared with a provision of $682,000 for 2016, and is reflective of the continued significant growth in the Bank's commercial and other lending portfolios as well as some modest changes to the overall loan portfolio's composition, requiring the application of increased loan loss factors to the overall portfolio.
Third quarter 2017 noninterest income of $1.0 million increased $47,000 compared to $963,000 for the prior year third quarter. The increase in current year noninterest income was due primarily to a $104,000 increase in net gains on sales and redemptions of investment securities, partially offset by a $48,000 reduction in income from other charges, commissions and fees. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $3.0 million, an increase of $46,000 in comparison to the prior year period.
Total noninterest expense for third quarter 2017 was $5.3 million, an increase of $480,000, or 10.0%, in comparison to $4.8 million for the prior year quarter. The higher noninterest expense was principally driven by an increase of $272,000 in salary and employee benefit expenditures, as well as a $65,000 increase in other expenses compared to the prior year quarter. Noninterest expense for the nine-month period of 2017 was $15.3 million compared with $14.3 million for the prior year period. The higher noninterest expense was due largely to salary and benefit expenses which increased by $603,000, and an increase in building occupancy cost of $192,000.
Total assets at third quarter-end were $874.6 million, an increase of $157.5 million, or 22.0%, from $717.1 million on September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily driven by higher loan and investment securities balances. Total loans of $566.5 million grew $74.3 million from December 31, 2016 primarily due to increases of $42.6 million in commercial loans, $21.4 million in purchased consumer loans secured by liens on automobiles, and $7.6 million in residential mortgage loans. The securities portfolio was $205.8 million at quarter-end reflecting the acquisition of relatively short-term, investment-grade collateral matching the strong inflow of municipal deposits which typically occurs in the first and third quarters of each calendar year.
Total deposits at September 30, 2017 were $716.4 million, an increase of $105.4 million, or 17.3%, from $611.0 million on December 31, 2016. The increase was driven by increases in retail, municipal and business deposits of $83.9 million, $9.7 million and $9.7 million, respectively. Retail deposit growth was affected by $37.6 million in large customer deposits during September 2017 that are expected to be transitory in nature and are anticipated to remain with the Company for an indefinite but relatively short period of time.
Shareholders' equity was $61.9 million on September 30, 2017, compared with $57.9 million on December 31, 2016, reflecting an increase in retained earnings and a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Bank's securities portfolios and retirement plans.
The Bank's asset quality metrics remained consistent with recent reporting periods and continue to compare favorably to broad industry and peer group averages. The annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans ratio, of 0.21% for third quarter 2017, was up 13 basis points from 0.08% for third quarter 2016, and down 10 basis points from 0.31% in second quarter 2017. Nonperforming loans to total loans were 0.86% at September 30, 2017, up 4 basis points compared to 0.82% at the end of third quarter 2016. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans for third quarter 2017 was 136.83%, compared with 157.52% on September 30, 2016. The Bank's solid asset quality metrics continue to reflect its economically stable service area, along with the Bank's robust loan servicing and collection capabilities, and consistent underwriting procedures.
The Company announced, on September 29, 2017, that its Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.055 per common share, payable to shareholders of record as of October 13, 2017 on November 3, 2017.
