Another reason to leave three (or more) hours before your international flight: Just because you're running late, doesn't mean you can skip to the front of the security line. You might be at risk of missing your flight, but that "does not give you automatic right to move up the line," says Duncan.
How long before an international flight should I arrive at the airport?

Watercolour of the Red Fort in Delhi, seen from the opposite bank of the river Jumna with a tent in the foreground, circa 1815. The Red Fort or Lal Qila, was constructed by Shah Jahan (r.1627-58) for his new city of Shahjahanabad. The Lahore gate was one of the main entrances to the fort and is composed of a high central arch with side towers. The octogonal-shaped fort complex is surrounded by high fortification walls of red sandstone which reach between 18-33 m in height. Key buildings inside the fort include the Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), Moti Masjid, and the Khas Mahal (private chambers of the emperor).

At Bapaume during action 14-17 March 1917, his work all through was of high merit. On the evening of the 14 march, with a fighting patrol of 50 men, he attempted to effect an entrance through a strongly wired position at Till Trench but was held up by machine gun fire which was causing casualties. This Warrant Officer seized a Lewis gun, and quickly taking up a position on the enemy's flank, he engaged the hostile gun at point-blank range, silenced it and thus saved many casualties.

Lonicera pileata with its evergreen boxwood-like foliage and low spreading habit has small, fragrant, funnel-shaped creamy-white flowers in May and pretty, violet-blue translucent berries in winter. Lonicera pileata makes a good groundcover, where a branch touches the ground it will root-in and slowly spread over time. This box-leaf honeysuckle is salt tolerant and does well in seashore plantings. Lonicera pileata also works well as a companion plant for deciduous trees like the Pacific Northwest native maple, Acer circinatum.
Grow this tough evergreen shrub in a moist to well-drained location. It will also perform well in sand or clay with adequate drainage. It will grow best in full sun to dappled shade. Provide occasional watering during dry weather, although in shade it is drought tolerant. If kept too dry in sun the foliage can burn. It responds well to pruning and can easily be shaped and sheared.

There have been many film adaptations of Charles Dickens' eighth novel, dating as far back as 1913, but arguably none are as deliriously entertaining as Armando Iannucci's star-studded offering.
Following the story of young David, from his being orphaned at a young age, through the harsh early stages of his youth to his growing fortunes as a journalist, the film details our hero's journey from rags to riches . . . and back again.
Iannucci's film is almost Gilliam-esque in its love of the absurdity of its characters, from Tilda Swinton's nutty Aunt Betsey, to Peter Capaldi's ever optimistic Mr Micawber, to Ben Wishaw's greasy performance as Uriah Heep. But it is Dev Patel, as the loveable titular character who forms the heart of the film.
Many elements of the novel follow events in Dickens's own life, including his time spent working in a shoe factory and his later writing career, and it might be for this reason that it was Dickens' favourite among his own stories. In the preface to the 1867 edition, Dickens wrote, "like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favourite child. And his name is David Copperfield."

A referendum on the Nouméa Accord was held in New Caledonia on 8 November 1998. It was approved by 71.85% of voters. The proportion of voters in favour was highest in the Loyalty Islands (where turnout was lowest) and lowest in the South Province (where turnout was highest).

Background
After the rejection of independence in the 1987 referendum and the subsequent Ouvéa cave hostage taking in April and May 1988, the Matignon Agreements signed in June 1988 (and approved in a France-wide referendum) provided for another referendum in the territory in 1998. The Nouméa Accord was subsequently agreed on 5 May 1998, and provided for a gradual transfer of powers to the New Caledonian authorities.

Associated with improvements for liver disease including cirrhosis.
May help reduce insulin resistance.
Our dietary supplement SilyPlus is formulated from milk thistle, also known as wild artichoke, silver milk thistle, blessed milk thistle or St. Mary's thistle. Found in abundance around the Mediterranean, milk thistle has been used for centuries for its beneficial effects on liver function. In particular, it's believed to protect the liver against the development of hepatic diseases. As a result of its therapeutic use, it has been the subject of numerous scientific studies. At the end of the 1960s, a team of researchers identified silymarin as the compound responsible for milk thistle's therapeutic properties. Silymarin is a flavonoid complex encompassing silybin, silydianin and silychristin. These compounds are known for their health-protecting antioxidant potency. Silymarin is present in all parts of the milk thistle plant but is particularly concentrated in its seeds when it reaches maturity.
it inhibits synthesis of leukotrienes, exerting an anti-inflammatory effect.
As a result of its antioxidant potency and liver-beneficial properties, silymarin is associated with improvements in liver diseases such as cirrhosis. Primarily linked to excessive alcohol consumption, this chronic liver disease is characterised by extensive and irreversible damage. While the damage is permanent, it is nonetheless important to stabilise the disease and minimise its adverse effects. In addition to these benefits for cirrhosis, silymarin is often highlighted for its ability to regenerate the liver. It has proved to be particularly beneficial for protecting the liver from toxin-induced damage, due, for example, to pollution or ingestion of toxic substances.
To maximise the benefits of silymarin, our supplement SilyPlus has been formulated from a patented form of silymarin extract called Siliphos™. This proprietary complex was specially developed to offer a highly-bioavailable form of silymarin that's well-absorbed by the body. Silymarin in its natural state contains three antioxidant compounds but Siliphos™ features only silybin because of its superior stability and absorption by the body. It is also known to be the most active and powerful compound in silymarin. In order to further increase its absorption, silybin is combined with phospholipids, essential compounds in cell membranes. Combined in the form of phytosomes, these molecules result in a liver supplement that's highly-bioavailable and easily absorbed by the body.
Silyplus is based on a number of scientific studies and benefits from the latest formulation techniques. As such, it constitutes a high quality supplement for maintaining a healthy liver and detoxifying the body. It is formulated from the patented antioxidant complex Siliphos™, with a suggested dose of one to three capsules a day, depending on your needs. This dose can be adjusted in line with the advice of your therapist.
Other ingredients: magnesium stearate, maltodextrin, silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose.
Each vegetarian capsule contains 120 mg Siliphos™, a silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex standardised to provide 33% silybin.
Take one to three vegicaps a day, or as advised by your therapist.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but another wonderful independent bookstore is closing. This time it is Peter Panton's English Bookshop in Milan, Italy.
I blogged about this store back in January, and had been hoping that I might be able to arrange an event in his store during my upcoming trip to Italy.
Alas, Mr. Panton has announced the closing of his store for good on June 30, 2013.
The book industry is going through dramatic changes, influenced by the transition from print to digital. No part of this industry is being more influenced with this new trend than bookshops.
From independent bookshops to big chains like B&N, Borders, Waterstones etc., etc, no one seems to be immune to these changes.
Milan's first all English bookshop, Panton's English Bookshop, established in 1978, is no exception!
It's a well known fact that book lovers are quite happy to spend time in a bricks-and-mortar bookshop to see what sort of interesting titles they find and then, off they go home to buy online where prices are often cheaper.
Much to our regret "Panton's English Bookshop" will be closing for good on 30th June 2013.
A MASSIVE CLEARANCE SALE WILL BEGIN ON 13th MAY 2013.
This news saddens me. I hope that come July, Mr. Panton will find more time to enjoy the simple pleasures of life such as eating bruschetta and drinking wine, as well as more time for his writing.
It seems that Italy is losing pieces.

Preseason Game Thread: Knicks at Celtics- 10/9/13
AHHHHHHH
By Seth Oct 9, 2013, 6:28pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Preseason Game Thread: Knicks at Celtics- 10/9/13
Oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man
BASKETBALL. There is a basketball game tonight. It doesn't count in the standings, but it counts for that itch you've been unable to scratch for the last five months. The Knicks' preseason opener against the Celtics tips off at 7:30 in Providence, RI. We already heard New York's starting lineup: Raymond Felton, Pablo Prigioni, Andrea Bargnani, Carmelo Anthony, and Tyson Chandler. That's an interesting group, but probably not the starting five on opening night. Everyone but the injured/resting bros (Amar'e Stoudemire, J.R. Smith, Jeremy Tyler, and Kenyon Martin) should be available. Expect to see more of the non-guaranteed camp invites than the starters. Here's who the Celtics will send out:
Bradley, lee, bass, Wallace and Sullinger will be starting tonight do the #celtics.
— A. Sherrod Blakely (@SherrodbCSN) October 9, 2013
You remember the Celtics, right? They were that team the Knicks eliminated from the playoffs last season. They look...different now.
This right here is a game thread. This may be your first game thread, or just your first game thread in a while. In a game thread, you MAY and are encouraged to comment as much as you please along with the game's action. You MAY NOT post large photos, GIFs, or links to illegal streams. (Tonight's game is on MSG and NBA TV, incidentally).
Later, there will be a post-game thread. You can post GIFs there. A recap will follow, probably in the morning. In general, you can expect the post-game schedule to be a bit different this season. Joe and I are going to split up the recaps, and we may add in a new/different sort of post-game analysis as well. We'll use the preseason to get a feel for that stuff. We're just like the Knicks!
Anyway, tip-off's at 7:30. Enjoy and be kind to one another! Remember, it's preseason. More about the players and the lineups than the game itself. It does not matter who wins as long as the Knicks win.

I believe Barbara Baird's article on Nordstrom (Times, May 2), with a bold black lead stating that "Nordstrom Seen as Good for All," left out a very significant side of the story. There are many people in the immediate area surrounding the Westside Pavilion who have been apprehensive over this huge center since we were first made privy to its development.
In the same area where 12 stores once stood, 150 will now stand. It is hard to believe that a structure of this size was built without an environmental impact study or supposedly any zoning variances required. I have grave concerns with our planning commissions, traffic departments and our elected officials regarding these oversights.
I would be curious to know how much the Australian company that developed this mall has contributed to political coffers. Only when our former street (we have since moved) became organized and demanded strict traffic controls on the corner of Malcolm and Pico Boulevard did the developers and the traffic engineers recognize a problem in regard to the residential neighborhood.
Nordstrom and the Westside Pavilion will be considered "good for all" only when all the problems that come with a major shopping mall are recognized and solved.
As a resident of Cheviot Hills for almost 30 years, I am absolutely delighted to welcome the new Westside Pavilion to our neighborhood. Not only is Nordstrom a beautiful addition, but the May Company has upgraded its facilities, and we are all winners. From what I hear, we'll get our Vons back, plus a marketplace that will be a real boon to the area. The Hills of Cheviot and the Parks of Rancho have always been the best neighborhood in our City of Angels. We are truly blessed.

The prosecution of corruption in local government
The prosecution of corruption in local government The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) must prosecute corruption at all levels of government. While much of the focus has been on the capture of national government and national state-owned enterprises (SOEs), there has also been widespread corruption in municipalities. https://dullahomarinstitute.org.za/multilevel-govt/local-government-bulletin/archives/volume-17-issue-3-september-2022/policy-brief-prosecution-in-local-government-for-corruption https://dullahomarinstitute.org.za/multilevel-govt/local-government-bulletin/archives/volume-17-issue-3-september-2022/policy-brief-prosecution-in-local-government-for-corruption/@@download/image/jail.jpg
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) must prosecute corruption at all levels of government. While much of the focus has been on the capture of national government and national state-owned enterprises (SOEs), there has also been widespread corruption in municipalities.
On 14 June 2022, the Africa Criminal Justice Reform and Multilevel Government projects of the Dullah Omar Institute, in partnership with the Hanns Seidel Foundation, hosted a Webinar on the prosecution of corruption in municipalities with Advocate Barry Madolo (NPA).
In a recent opinion-editorial, Advocate Barry Madolo, Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in the Eastern Cape, has described some successes enjoyed by the NPA in prosecuting corruption in municipalities in the Eastern Cape. There is highly specific legislation relating to municipalities, and to municipal finances, such as the Municipal Finance Management Act of 2003, with which prosecutors must be familiar in order to successfully prosecute offences relating to municipal finances. Professor Jaap de Visser of the Dullah Omar Institute is a leading expert in the field of multi-level government and municipal legislation. He recently co-authored a research paper on the combating of corruption in municipalities in the Western Cape, which also addresses the role of the NPA.
Prosecution of corruption in local government
Prof Jaap De Visser
The presentation was based on earlier research by De Visser and colleagues focussing on local government corruption in the Western Cape which involved interviews with officials from ten municipalities in that province. The focus was on, among other areas, experiences in referring alleged financial misconduct for criminal investigation and prosecution. A number of thematic concerns were identified:
Concern about the duration of investigations, prosecution and trial. Constraints in capacity with investigating agencies resulted in some cases taking exceptionally long to conclude if at all.
Concerns were also raised about capacity and prioritisation within SAPS and the Hawks. These also related to how criminal processes intersected with municipal disciplinary processes and that the latter may sometimes be purposefully manipulated as the route of resolution. Similarly, allegations were made of political interference with investigations.
Capacity constraints in NPA were also identified as a major concern and related to the skills and abilities of NPA staff to take on and prosecute more complex cases and in at least one case, the local authority that laid the charge was expected to cover the cost of forensic auditors needed to support the NPA in the matter.
Proving the unlawfulness of certain action requires specialised expertise in the NPA. For example, it was noted that prosecutors are not trained in the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) and may resort to using other legislation such as ordinary commercial law.
The question was raised as to whether municipalities should be granted a broader mandate and investigate alleged corrupt activities within a certain scope.
Could the municipality initiate an investigation, collect evidence and 'prepare the docket'? This is posed against the background that Metros already have investigative capacity
It was noted that lower courts are overburdened and the possibility that smaller corruption matters could be dealt with in municipal courts should thus be considered.
There is also scope for greater collaboration between municipalities/cities and the NPA but this would require careful consideration so as to ensure the independence of the NPA.
Municipal investigations are typically different in aim and focused on preparing disciplinary charges.
There are also limits to a municipality's investigative reach. For example, a municipality does not have access to private bank accounts or the authority to intercept communication.
The findings also highlighted a need for caution as municipalities may indeed be captured by corrupt forces. Giving municipalities wide investigative powers (and prosecutorial powers) may indeed enable further impunity.
A possible avenue to address some of the concerns is to look at greater collaboration between provinces and the NPA.
A more decentralised approach from the NPA may also yield better results.
Dealing with fraud and corruption in municipalities in the Eastern Cape
Adv Barry Madolo
Adv Madolo stated that the NPA continues to make progress in bringing high-profile national corruption cases to court in the E-Cape Division (ECD) and has registered a number of cases in this regard. In many of these cases, the modus operandi is the same as that seen in some of the high-profile cases elsewhere in the country. For example, public servants working in informal consortiums and collaborating with service providers to siphon money from the public purse. These cases also give insight into the way in which corrupt public officials have managed to manipulate financial management systems, either on their own or in collaboration with others.
He highlighted a number of important cases that have been concluded or are in-going:
Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality
Milongani Eco-Consulting case: it resulted in a R25,6 million loss for the municipality but an R11million restraint order was obtained on 27 July 2021. Charges relate to a 3-year tender contract for environmental impact assessment awarded to Milongani. In terms of the contract, Milongani was to be paid R350 per hour for its services, but the first invoice for R1 million was submitted within 24-hours of appointment. The probe assessed 42 invoices, which had been submitted for over R25,6 million. An investigation found complicity in abuse of official power (i.e. corruption) between municipal employees and Milongani. The case is enrolled and the NPA is finalising racketeering charges.
Integrated Public Transport System (IPTS) matter: The ten accused include municipal officials, local business people, political office bearers who corruptly used their influence to have contracts awarded as well as a local attorney and the firm he represented. Total amount involved in the charge sheet is R100 million. The charges include racketeering, procurement fraud, money laundering, corruption and various charges under the MFMA. The case is being transferred to the High Court for pre-trial procedures.
Mandela Funeral Case
The case was transferred towards the end of 2021 to the High Court and 14 people and entities are accused of defrauding the Buffalo City Municipality (BCM). They have pleaded not guilty in February 2022. The State was due to start leading evidence on 11 April 2022, but has been delayed as a result of interlocutory applications by some of the accused. A total of R5.9 million for transporting mourners to various venues for the memorial services were misappropriated when the BCM's procurement procedures were captured by the accused. The Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU) has recovered R4.1 million in the 2014/15 financial year.
Amathole District Municipality (Siyenza)
Charges were brought against ten people and three companies in connection with a tender for the accelerated sanitation programme. They appeared in East London Magistrates' Court on 02 December 2019. Subsequently, the Grahamstown High Court granted the AFU a restraint order effectively freezing their assets, with an estimated value of R60 million. The restraint order stems from serious charges of corruption, fraud and money laundering in the 'toilet' scam. The project was for the supply, delivery and installation of 66 700 toilets in various villages of Eastern Cape and Amathole District Municipality (ADM) irregularly awarded the tender to Blue Nightingale Trading 397 (Pty) Ltd t/a Siyenza Group, with its sole director, Bongani Mpeluza. Mpeluza's Gauteng house remains preserved from 31 July 2020, as proceeds from the scam since only R16 million was proven to have been utilised to erect the toilets. The group face eight charges, including corruption, fraud, money laundering, conspiracy to commit a crime and the contravention of the MFMA. Some will also face charges of conspiracy and inducing another person to commit an offence, assisting another to benefit from proceeds of unlawful activities, and acquisition, possession or use of proceeds of unlawful activities. The accused include former ADM municipal manager, Chris Magwangqana; former CFO, Nkosinathi Soga; former ADM director of engineering, Mpumelelo Shezi; and District's former director of corporate services, Lulama Taleni.
Adv Madola noted that corruption among municipal and provincial officials is a cause for real concern in the Eastern Cape and thus increasingly the focus of the NPA's activities in the province. There has been a growing number of charges being laid as well as an increase in asset seizures and convictions to confirm the success of the close collaboration between the Hawks and the NPA. There are, however, a few matters in court for longer than five years largely due to delaying tactics by the accused and their defence as they know long-term imprisonment awaits them when convicted. The use of asset forfeiture and recovery processes by the AFU has proven to be very effective in claiming back proceeds of fraud and corruption.
From the preceding three central issues can be lifted. The first is that in order to prosecute local government corruption matters successfully, it requires that prosecutors who are knowledgeable on the legal framework governing local government such as the MFMA. Secondly, a number of notable cases have found their way to the courts demonstrating that prosecutions are indeed possible and that lessons must be taken from these cases. Third, there is scope to explore other options. This may involve delegating certain powers to municipalities to investigate and even prosecute corruption matters within a clearly defined scope. There is also good cause to investigate closer cooperation between the NPA at provincial level and the provincial government as well as municipalities in order to improve cooperation and establish effective procedures to handle investigations and prosecutions.

Santa's "Nice" list just got a whole lot nicer.
If you need a little Christmas, look no further than the goodwill extended to a man who had fallen on hard times ahead of the holidays.
"I was driving down the freeway in Houston, and I saw this guy standing on the side of the road holding a sign that said 'I Need a Bus Ticket to Alabama,' and I wanted to help him out," good Samaritan Frank Richardson, 63, told The Post of his altruistic encounter with then-stranger Doug Phelps on Saturday.
Phelps, 37, shared his hard-luck tale with Richardson — who captured their chance meeting on video — revealing he'd recently relocated to Texas seeking work in the construction field, but hadn't been able to secure steady employment.
"He told me he came to Houston looking for work," Richardson, a financial advisor of 40 years, said. "He didn't have any money when he got here. He slept under some bridges, and it wasn't pretty. He just wanted to go home for Christmas to see his family."
And that's exactly the gift Richardson gave Phelps.
Good Samaritan Frank Richardson helps send homeless man, Doug Phelps, home for Christmas.

After purchasing some fast food for Phelps, who hadn't eaten in days, Richardson invited the grateful wayfarer to assist him on another charitable errand, taking his visually impaired friend grocery shopping. Once their good deed was done, Richardson drove Phelps to the bus station, bought him a ticket to Alabama, and sent him off with tidings of comfort and joy.
"My heart was full. It was a blessing to see him getting on the bus headed home. I cried for almost 24 hours after that," Richardson said.
In the days since their kindly rendezvous, Phelps, now in Alabama surrounded by loved ones, has reached out to Richardson, expressing deep gratitude for his unmerited benevolence.
"He called me and said, 'Frank, I can't believe that I'm home, with my family, sitting in front of a Christmas tree. I can't thank you enough for that. I was like, 'Wow,' " Richardson said.
"My father always told me, 'To whom much is given, much is required,' and I've always lived by that and the belief in doing unto others as you would have them do unto you," Richardson, a lifelong philanthropist, said. "I've always been someone who loves to help people. And right now, after this rough year, people need this kind of cheerful giving."

Being an Entrepreneur in South Africa is hard at the best of times. Being a Mompreneur in South Africa is like having a super power, I swear. The amount of juggling that goes into being a Mom and running a Business / Organisation makes an Air Traffic Controller's day job seem simple.
I follow this advice daily (almost). Admittedly, when stress levels are high and deadlines need to be met, I have to remind myself that I have the blessing of being able to raise young people and need to include them in my daily tasks. Also, when you are on a phone call and need some silence, it really does help to ask your little one to write down their own notes based on what they hear you say 😉 Including your kid (s) in your Business / Organisation will not only provide them with an education that NO SCHOOL in the world can offer, but you can turn it into fun quality time too.
I'm pretty sure that like me, you check emails at night? Don't.
Rather, switch your phone off and read your kid (s) a bedtime story. Not only does it make you a better Parent, but "Leaders are Readers"! Including a daily read into your routine will help settle your busy mind and who doesn't love an adventure story??
Haha I can just imagine you reading that saying " but Sam, I do shower I promise!".
But, let's talk openly for a minute.
Do yourself a favour and get up at the same time every day and shower. Dress as if you are going to a Corporate Office and treat your home desk as if a Co-Worker will walk past it at any minute. It works, trust me.
This is a feeling I know all too well! Attending any form of a function relating to personal responsibilities during the day i.e normal working hours for most, makes me feel like I am somehow cheating my Business.
If you feel the same, keep reminding yourself that while the rest of the world works 8-5, we as Mompreneur's work 24/7. We have two jobs running at the same time and should never feel guilty for taking an hour out of our day to watch our kiddies sports matches. That is, after all, one of the main reasons why we wanted to work for ourselves in the first place, wasn't it?
5. Look after your health.
Seriously now, why is it that when our kid (s) show the slightest sniffle we embark on a pharmaceutical crusade, yet when we as Mompreneurs fall ill it takes a hospital visit before we admit our illness?
Being a successful Mompreneur means that you need to be able to take a step back every now and then and put yourself first. Learn to sleep well. Stop drinking copious amounts of coffee during the day without eating. Treat your health as your number one client because if you are sick, your Business is sick too.
Tell me, do you have any tips on how to manage the title of Mompreneur?

Team is optimistic for this next season
By Allison Crump and Grace Kahnke

North Central's Track and Field team is on hiatus between their indoor and outdoor seasons. Grahm Johnson won his third career UMAC event title in shot put after throws of 13.87 m, 14.28 m, 14.76 m and 15.47 m before hiatus.
During the outdoor season Johnson throws discus and shot put. Johnson has the opportunity to participate in both the NCCAA and NCAA Division 3 National competitions. Johnson needs to be in the top 25 of Division III athletes to participate in the NCAA Nationals.
"Grahm has a lot of talent and continually breaks his own records," Trey Meadows, track and field coach, said. "He is very humble and could honestly be a Division 1 player."
Meadows and Johnson's goals for the season are to make the NCAA National competition for the season which is May 24-26 located in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
"I thought it [indoor season] went well. I think there is more that I can improve on. I was expecting more competition," Johnson said.
Johnson's goal is to continue to break his own records during the outdoor season and to make it to nationals.
Meadows said that Johnson could have gone to a number of Division I schools. Even though Johnson received an offer from the University of Minnesota he said he felt God calling him to North Central. "There are more important things than just throwing heavy things…I'll only be doing this for a few years, but the things that I learn here [at North Central] can be used for my entire life in a career that I want to do," Johnson said.
During the indoor season, the women's team did not participate in events, but still practiced working toward their events for the outdoor season. This season, Ram's fans can expect to see Raen Barcelon, Bri Griffin and Victoria Vote running mid-distance and hurdles. Natasha George, Jazmine Sales and Rachel Beckman will be throwing shot put, discus and hammer.
Meadows says that they are very passionate about their events and some were even willing to step out and try a new event.
"[The] overall goal for this season is to score as many points as we can at the UMAC championship, then there is a potential for some women to make finals," Meadows said.

Sports Showcase
Boys Basketball Preview: Cherokee Trail
Zach Goodman, Ryan Nourse, and Jake Groth
This Wednesday the Warriors are taking on Cherokee Trail on the road.
This is a huge game for the Warriors as they need to win one of their next two games to secure a spot in the playoffs. The Warriors are 4-17 on the season, which might not look like a playoff contention record, but with the CHSAA RPI system, they are currently 48th out of the 48 teams that make the postseason.
The Warriors are looking for revenge against the Cougars this time around, as the Warriors lost in overtime a few weeks ago at home.
Keys for this game include limiting turnovers, transition points, and taking good shots on the offensive end of the court.
Player Jake Groth has this to say about the upcoming game, "I think the easiest thing we can do to increase our chances of winning would be to take better shots. We tend to take lots of 3's which isn't a high percentage shot for us right now. Making layups will help as well. We miss a lot of those."
We also asked Bobby Baltzer about our chances in the playoffs, "If we can win one of these games it will be good because I believe that we can go on a streak. If we can go on a streak in the playoffs, I think we will make it to at least the elite 8."
Your Warriors take on Cherokee Trail on Wednesday, February 14 at 7:00 at CT.

KAM Systems Limited have been supplying Nurse Call solutions to the care industry for many years and prides itself in listening to customer needs.
The Periodic Check Unit (PCU), when connected to the existing Nursecall unit in the room, will automatically initiate an alarm after the pre-set period interval. There are seven timed interval settings, from 15 minutes through to 90 minutes. T1 and T2 options are timed at 2 hours and 4 hours however, these can be customised at time of order.
The PCU accurately keeps time and takes that pressure away from care staff and the nursecall will continue to sound until someone attends. In situations where there isn't a nursecall unit to connect to, the PCU has the option of being able to send a message to a pager. The PCU is also useful when trying to hydrate a resident and offers a timely reminder to care staff.

I've got first day of term blues (hence the miserable face in all the photos) students get excited to be back and see all of their mates, I just feel old and miss my uni days. Boohooo! I am looking forward to seeing Sarah this weekend though and I'm happy to see the return of all the lovely term time only staff that I work with.
I bought this dress when Topshop had free delivery because the store never had my size. It was £18 with student discount and the fit is great. I've now also got this dress in navy because I love it so much, can't go wrong with a plain jersey dress. Apparently there is flooding across the UK and the skies looked pretty grey when I left the house so I took the oppourtunity to wear the practical boots that Daisy Street sent me.
The boots have gone through puddles and my feet have stayed dry and I wore them to work and there aren't any marks of scuffs on them like I was expecting because they are so high shine. I think these boots are a bit of a bargain at £24.99 as real Dr Martens are over £100. I know the real deal might last a lifetime but I'm fickle when it comes to fashion and these are the next best thing.
Hope all of you students returning to uni have a fun freshers week. If it is your first year and you're new, don't be afraid to ask staff (people like me in the library) questions, it's what we are there for. If you are going to Cardiff Uni come and say hi to me!
These are so handy for this horrible rain!
Those boooots! Perfect for this weather, or all year!
Nice boots and what a bargain!
oooh not heard of secret sales before, will check it out!
Those boots look lovely, I could definitely be doing with a pair like that today for going out in this horrible weather! I've always fancied a pair of Dr Martens but was worried I wouldn't wear them that much, might have to treat myself to a bargain pair instead!
Two of my friends have transferred to Cardiff! Their PhD supervisor got a job there and they went too. I'm planning a visit!
Ah you look lovely, not a grump at all.
Love the boots! I have no patience for investing in expensive shoes (with the exception of Irregular Choice) so I'm totally with you there. Always buy the shiny ones!

Bhlaraidh wind energy facility – foundation construction
Author: Murform | Environment, Photos, Scotland, Technology
2016 December 19 – Murform have recently secured this follow on project with RJ McLeod, following our success at Beinneun Wind Farm (which is less than 5 miles away).
Bhlaraidh Wind Farm is a 32 turbine site, situated in the Great Glen, just North West of Loch Ness. Due to its sensitive location, the site has been developed to cause minimal visual impact to the environment to avoid being seen from the main tourist routes and iconic attractions of the Great Glen. The sites remote location also provides it inherent challenges, for the supply of materials and access by labour to each turbine location, which will have to be overcome to achieve the projects required outputs.
Murform will construct the 32 bases, consisting of over 62 tonne of rebar and 580m³ of concrete in each base, with a strong effort to construct as many as possible before the winter weather sets in. To assist in this target, Murform have provided additional resources to the project. RJ McLeod will assist with full time cranes and also on site batching plants and trucks.

» The loss of Terrell Thomas significantly weakens the Giants defense. Thomas was unquestionably the team's top cornerback and the team lacks the depth to suitably replace him. At 6-foot-1, 191 pounds, Thomas possesses the size and length to smother receivers in press coverage, yet he also displayed the vision, instincts and awareness to make plays in zone. Thomas has recorded 10 interceptions over the past two seasons, while also adding five forced fumbles during that span. Without their No. 1 corner in the lineup, the Giants will likely turn to Aaron Ross to the start opposite Corey Webster.
Ross, a fifth-year pro with 26 career starts, has been considered a disappointment for most of his career. He does have six career interceptions, but also has been prone to blown assignments in critical situations. Ross also shows suspect skills as run defender; his lack of aggression weakens the Giants' defense on the perimeter. As a nickel corner, his deficiencies could be hidden. But with the looming promotion to the starting lineup, Ross becomes a primary target and the Giants' defense will suffer as a result.
The loss of Thomas also affects the Giants' sub-packages. Ross' promotion forces the team to put young defenders like Michael Coe and Joe Burnett on the field or rely on veterans Deon Grant and Antrel Rolle to shift their responsibilities. With so many moving parts in the back end, defensive coordinator Perry Fewell might have to scale back his aggressiveness and rely extensively on the Giants' talented front line to provide pressure on the quarterback.
» Jay Cutler looks more comfortable in Mike Martz's system. Cutler was efficient and effective directing the Bears' offense against the Giants. He quickly worked through his progressions to deliver balls to open receivers in rhythm. Cutler didn't hesitate to release the ball before his intended receivers were out of their breaks, which prevented Giants' defenders from closing quickly on the throw. This was a stark contrast from a season ago, when Cutler would wait until his receivers were coming open before letting the ball go. In Martz's system, the precise timing between thrower and catcher is critical; big gains frequently result when the execution is flawless.
Cutler, who finished 12 for 21 for 171 yards, showcased the effectiveness of the approach when he connected with Devin Hester on a 37-yard strike down the sideline on a "go route" between defenders in two-deep coverage. He followed that up with a 32-yard completion to Earl Bennett on a post-corner against a similar two-deep look. Both plays resulted in huge gains and were a direct result of the timing between Cutler and his receivers.
» Marion Barber still has some juice. Even though he was a salary cap casualty in Dallas due to declining production, Barber still appears to have something left in the tank. The seventh-year pro tallied 80 yards from scrimmage against the Giants, while showcasing a rugged all-around game that makes him a perfect complement to primary tailback Matt Forte. Barber still possesses a combination of strength, power and toughness that allows him to grind out tough yards between the tackles. While he lacks the burst to take it the distance, his ability to chew up yardage five yards at a time will add a new element to the Bears' rush attack. Barber also has excellent skills as a receiver and is a solid blocker in pass protection. Given his versatile skill set and effectiveness throughout the preseason, Barber could make Chester Taylor expendable in Chicago.

January 20th 2003 · Prague Watchdog / Timur Aliyev · PRINTER FRIENDLY FORMAT · E-MAIL THIS · ALSO AVAILABLE IN:
Chechen human rights activists oppose referendum on Chechen constitution
Timur Aliyev, North Caucasus – A group of representatives of Chechen human rights organizations came out against holding a referendum on the Chechen constitution. This announcement was presented at a conference of civic organisations in Nazran on January 18.
At the meeting, attended by about 40 representatives of non-governmental organisations from Chechnya, two key issues were discussed: "Referendum in the Chechen Republic – suppression of the will of the people or free expression of the will of the people?" and "Seeking ways for the implementation of a democratic approach to solving the conflict between the Russian Federation and the Chechen Republic."
"For the Chechens the war means mainly mop-up operations and bombardment, rather than armies in trenches," says chairman of the Anti-war Congress Salambek Maigov. "And our primary task is to bring it to an end. However, by methods such as a referendum you cannot decide on the issue of terminating military activities in Chechnya."
"We understand that by our boycott we cannot stop the referendum, but it will discredit itself when half a year after the announcement of stabilisation of the situation in the republic people will see that nothing will have really changed," says Maigov.
Instead, human rights activists supported an alternative project presented by the chairman of the Chechen Committee for National Salvation Ruslan Badalov, to carry out a referendum among Russian citizens on whether to continue or stop waging military activities in the Chechen Republic. Ruslan Badalov was given the task to set up an initiative group for advancing this idea.
The human rights campaigners also supported an initiative presented by Lema Shakhmurzayev, the organiser of the conference and chairman of the political coalition "National Unity". In order to settle the military conflict in the Chechen Republic, Shakhmurzayev proposed they should approach Aslan Maskhadov and Vladimir Putin with a suggestion of holding peace talks.
"The main subject of controversy between the two fighting sides is the issue of the status of Chechnya," claims the activist. "Limited in their activities by the fundamental laws of the country, Maskhadov and Putin have no legal basis for solving this issue. However, they may forward it to the Chechen people, so that by means of any democratic procedure they could decide on the issue of their own sovereignty by themselves," he explains.
Shakhmurzayev sees such a way in a multi-stage election of the National Assembly – a non-governmental body of general nationwide authority, consisting of 200-400 delegates.
"Indirect voting rights and a multi-stage electoral system (or a multi-stage system of delegation) are the only methods suiting the political culture, legal notions and mentality of Chechens," explains Lema Shakhmurzayev.
According to his plan, the Assembly would then establish a state, give it a constitution, and elect the head of state from the members of the Assembly.
"This would help bring an end to the war in Chechnya as well as save Russia's face," says Shakhmurzayev.
According to Shakhmurzayev, he has already reached a certain degree of agreement with a number of Chechen field commanders and politicians.

Hans Theodor Woldsen Storm, född 14 september 1817, död 4 juli 1888, var en nordtysk jurist och författare och en av de största berättarna inom den poetiska realismen under 1800-talet. Storm inledde sin författarbana som romantisk lyriker och skrev enkla stämningsdikter om landskapet, havet och kärleken. Under Storms liv drogs hans författarskap alltmer mot realismen. Som prosaförfattare skrev han stämningsfyllda noveller och historiskt realistiska novellkrönikor.

Asteroiden 12182 Storm är uppkallad efter honom.

Biografi
Han härstammade från en högborgerlig ämbetsmannasläkt och växte upp i danska småstaden Husum i Slesvig. Han utvecklade en känsla för hembygden och en bundenhet vid traditioner som skulle bli en del av hans personlighet. Efter att ha studerat juridik vid Kiels och Berlins universitet återvände han 1843 till sin hemstad för att försörja sig som advokat. Samma år debuterade han tillsammans med bröderna Tycho Mommsen och Theodor Mommsen med ett häfte dikter.

1850 förvisades Storm från Husum av danskarna för tyskpatriotisk verksamhet. 1853 började han livnära sig som assessor i Potsdam, Preussen. Han ogillade den preussiska byråkratin och militarismen; författarkollegan Theodor Fontane anklagade honom många gånger för brist på stortysk nationalism. 1856 blev han domare i Heilbad Heiligenstadt. Sedan Danmark förlorat det dansk-tyska kriget 1864 återvände han till Husum där han stannade till sin död.

Författarskap
Storms författarskap präglas av en enorm självkritik; han arbetade alltid mycket långsamt och noggrant. Hans långsamma produktionstakt, en eller två noveller om året, kan också förklaras utifrån att han hela tiden hade andra arbeten. Theodor Storm hör hemma i en övergångsfas från romantik till realism i tysk litteratur. Hans verk fokuserar på problemen i det mänskliga livet och berättelsernas psykologi är ofta deterministisk. Ramberättelser, hyllningar av trofasthet och parallellismer mellan karaktärernas själsliv och miljöerna är vanliga i novellerna.

Immensee (1852), den novell som grundlade Storms popularitet, är typisk för honom. I den ser en gammal man i en inre monolog tillbaka på sin ungdoms kärlek. I sitt förflutna är den gamle mannen initiativlös och vek inför kärleken och livet, men har den positiva egenskapen att han är trofast.

Pessina è una frazione geografica del comune italiano di Primaluna posta a nord del centro abitato.

Storia
Pessina fu un antico comune del Milanese.

Nel 1786 entrò per un quinquennio a far parte della Provincia di Como, per poi cambiare continuamente i riferimenti amministrativi nel 1791, nel 1797 e nel 1798.

Portato definitivamente sotto Como nel 1801, alla proclamazione del regno d'Italia napoleonico nel 1805 risultava avere 108 abitanti. Nel 1809 il municipio fu soppresso su risultanza di un regio decreto di Napoleone che lo annesse per la prima volta a Primaluna, ma il Comune di Pessina fu tuttavia ripristinato con il ritorno degli austriaci. Nel 1853 risultò essere popolato da 165 anime, che scesero a 161 nel 1871. Nel frattempo, dal 1863 il governo italiano aveva cambiato nome al borgo in Pessina Valsassina. Nel 1921 si registrarono 133 residenti, segno dello spopolamento della montagna. Fu quindi il regime fascista a decidere nel 1927 di sopprimere definitivamente il comune, unendolo nuovamente a Primaluna seguendo il precedente modello napoleonico.

Back in the spring, ultra-luxury line Silversea put its 2009-built Silver Spirit through a multi-million dollar refit that included lengthening the vessel by 49 feet. The amazing feat was accomplished by cutting the ship in half and inserting a new prefabricated midsection at Fincantieri's Palermo, Italy shipyard.
It is an impressive technological feat, to be sure. Silversea could have rested on its laurels, having expanded the ship's dining and culinary options – not to mention the addition of more of the line's lavish suites. Instead, the company took the time to fully refresh Silver Spirit's interior spaces, redoing all suites and public areas with the newer, lighter colour scheme introduced last year aboard Silversea's flagship, Silver Muse.
So what has changed throughout the Silver Spirit? Here are the hard facts: the ship's length has increased to 691 feet, and her overall passenger capacity rises from 540 to 608. That may seem like a lot, but remember: Silver Spirit grew by 49 feet in length over the span of eight passenger decks.
The line also took the time to make some welcomed improvements to this comfortable ship. Additional suites, including the soothing Silver Suites were added to the vessel. This is particularly important for those (like myself) that loved the original Silver Suites. These could (and frequently did) sell out on many itineraries. Now, the ship features more of these 746-square-foot wonders than ever before.
Silversea has done away with The Bar on Deck 5, replacing it with a new and expanded watering hole known as Dolce Vita. This is a huge improvement, as The Bar – cozy as it was – was too small for the ship. If you didn't time your visit right, it could be hard to find a seat at cocktail hour. Now, that's a thing of the past.
Also altered is the main restaurant, which has been expanded and reconfigured into two separate dining venues to reflect the style introduced aboard Silver Muse. Rather than having one cavernous main dining room, guests now choose between Atlantide and Indochine, both of which sport their own bars and distinctive menus.
Silversea also reconfigured several public spaces at the stern of Silver Spirit, adding the popular Arts Café that debuted aboard Silver Muse to the area formerly occupied by the ship's Gift Shops on Deck 8.
Adjacent is Silver Note, which replaces Stars and occupies the space that was formerly the dark and under-utilized casino. The area formerly occupied by Stars now features expanded seating for La Terrazza on Deck 7, while the former Library and Internet Center serves as the new casino.
While we haven't been onboard yet to form our own impressions, these first images released by Silversea look like good things are in-store for those sailing on Silver Spirit this coming season. After four journeys on this exceptional ship in her former incarnation, I can't wait to see her in person with her new look, one which will carry her into her next decade of service.
See Silver Spirit's full sailing schedule by visiting Silversea's website.

Intro Buy tickets
This year's most powerful love story is set on the dance floors in Mali after the liberation in 1960.
The year is 1962 and it is only two years since Mali gained its independence from France, and Modibo Keïta became the country's first president. Samba has been sent out by the party to teach people in the countryside about the benefits of the party and a good socialist life. He is loyal to the party, but at the same time he loves to dance, more specifically to dance twist. In the capital he finds a sizzling environment to pursue his interest and here he also meets Lara, and they fall in love. A beautiful love story evolves, but at the same time the dancing and the relationship meet challenges from both the party and strict Muslim traditions.
The French veteran director Robert Guédiguian has made a period film that is both engaging and provocative. The catchy Yé-yé music and the young couple's moving love story stand in sharp contrast to the growing number of signs in the surroundings that the revolution in the country has not been as positive and democratically grounded as believed.

This Day in Black History
On this day Aug 02, 1900, North Carolina Votes to Disenfranchise Black Residents
by Afrotrends Staff August 2, 2020 August 2, 2020 1 22
On August 2, 1900, North Carolina approved a constitutional amendment that required residents to pass a literacy test in order to register to vote. Under the provision, illiterate registrants with a relative who had voted in an election prior to the year 1863 were exempt from the requirement.
These provisions effectively disenfranchised most of the state's African-American voting population. At the same time, the rules preserved the voting rights of most of the state's poor and uneducated white residents — who were much more likely to have a relative eligible to vote in 1863, before the abolition of slavery and passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments. To the drafters and supporters of the amendment, this outcome was by design.
In the days and months leading up to the special election to vote on the literacy test proposal, campaign events throughout the state encouraged white citizens to cast their votes in favor of the policy that would achieve Black disenfranchisement. On the eve of the election, judicial candidate and former Confederate officer William A. Guthrie proclaimed to a crowd of over 12,000:
"The people of the east and west are coming together. The amendment will pass and the negro curbed in every part of the state. Good government will be restored everywhere. Then our ladies can walk the streets of our towns in safety, day or night. White women will not be afraid to go about alone in the country. We will teach the colored race that our people must be respected. We have restrained and conquered other races. They obeyed our demands or were exterminated with the sword. We are at a crisis. Let us rise to the occasion. Come together!"
The campaign was also marked by widespread attempts to suppress African Americans' participation in the election. "No negro must vote. All white men must vote," insisted one prominent politician. "We'll try to bring this about by law. If that don't go—well, we can try another tack. The white man must and will rule in North Carolina, no matter what methods are necessary to give him authority."
The effect of racially discriminatory voting laws in North Carolina and throughout the South would persist for generations, effectively disenfranchising Black people throughout the region with little federal intervention until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.
The systemic racism started decades ago and still lingers around today, What do we do away with this?
