Over the past 20 years we have supported disadvantaged children and their families in Africa, improving their access to education, supporting health and well-being, and investing in sustainable livelihoods and environmental sustainability.
disadvantaged children and orphans gained access to education
girls & women empowered through education, enterprise & advocacy
people benefited from education & economic recovery projects
invested in Africa to support education and community development
To empower children through education and improve their lives and communities
Development through community-led projects harnessing local skills and experience
Our projects are focused in areas of sub-Saharan Africa that have been badly affected by HIV and AIDS. Homabay County in Kenya, Kyela District in Tanzania and Mwanza in Malawi are remote, rural areas where large numbers of orphaned children have limited access to education. Poverty forces over half of all children in these areas out of education after primary school, leaving them without the skills to find paid employment. Climate change, environmental destruction and resource depletion are also creating serious challenges to the rural economy and the capacity to be self-reliant and resilient.
Our portfolio of educational projects includes means-tested fees bursaries, extra tuition and holiday enrichment programmes, psychosocial support, sexual health education and HIV testing, careers advice, vocational training, work experience and apprenticeships, as well as supporting educational infrastructure construction projects.
As part of our commitment to life-long learning and skills based education, we build on local knowledge, resources and experience, supporting community cooperatives and social enterprises and providing nature resource management training to encourage environmentally sustainable livelihoods so families can become self-reliant and independent.

Clearing hurdles with engineering student help
Have a technical project we can help with?
11/7/19 Apply for a SPIR grant!
Ttarp Co.'s two-year development of a cutting press hit a snag.
The project required the use of a recently installed computer-aided design program that's not easy to learn. Ttarp President Joe McNamara didn't have the spare manpower to train an employee on the software.
Instead, he found an out-of the-box solution: McNamara engaged a University at Buffalo engineering student who knows the program.
How did he do it?
McNamara took advantage of a grant available to small and mid-sized companies in New York State through TCIE. The Strategic Partnership for Industrial Resurgence (SPIR) program lowers the cost for technical assistance provided by the UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
"We're a small business. I don't know if we would have done it without it," McNamara said of SPIR.
Western New York companies facing similar challenges – whether they lack adequate manpower, time or expertise to rectify a recurring issue or pursue a technical-based goal – can apply to SPIR.
Grants up to $25,000 may be awarded to a variety of organizations including, but not limited to: manufacturers, financial institutions, government entities and nonprofits.
SPIR funds can be used to partially pay for undergraduate or graduate students working on short-term engineering projects, which typically last 12-16 weeks.
Funds may also be applied toward the one-semester TCIE Engineering Fellows Program. An outstanding master's degree student or PhD candidate completes up to three engineering projects identified by the host company. Fellows work 20 hours per week on site, for a total of 320 hours. Fall or spring placements are available.
"The SPIR grant is an excellent, cost-effective way to access engineering talent," said Timothy Leyh, UB TCIE executive director. "It also provides an avenue for companies to 'test' a potential future hire."
The student working at Ttarp collaborated with welders, machinists, engineers and others on the factory floor to iron out obstacles as he digitized an evolving product design. The student also identified the most likely failures by using the software to simulate press operations, and compiled a book detailing standard press line work procedures.
"It's a low-risk option to accomplish some good technical work without taking on permanent overhead until the demand justifies it," McNamara said. "It's a great way to fill in a technical capacity bubble."

Top 30 Music Festivals in Japan To Experience This Year
Japan, Music Festivals
Looking for the best music festivals in Japan!? Well, look no further, because I've got you covered! The Japanese are ahead of the rest of us in terms of most things, but it's probably efficiency and innovation where they really show up the rest of the world.
In putting together this list of the best music festivals in Japan, I realised that they've taken those two super skills and combined them to churn out a long list of world class events, year-in and year-out!
On top of the massive number of festivals to choose from, I also noticed that many of these events put a firm focus on raising awareness of causes that really need it.
Be it the environment, the future of our oceans, animals, climate change, world peace or simply supporting their local community, Japan music festivals entertain while often giving back.
In terms of tunes…Electronic, pop, rock, punk, metal, indie, alternative. It's all represented.
With that being said, check out my list of the….
Top 30 Music Festivals in Japan
1) Fuji Rock
Photo via Fuji Rock Facebook
When: July 26-28, 2019
Where: Naeba Ski Resort, Niigata Prefecture.
https://en.fujirockfestival.com
"Fuji Rock is the biggest music festival in the country, with between 100,000 and 150,000 people attending every year. Held in a stunning ski resort about a 90-minute train ride from Tokyo, it has been running since 1997 and the international crowd has been steadily increasing over the years. Held mostly outdoors (with only one indoor stage) you must be well prepared for rain and shine, as you never know which way it will go. Maintaining its Japanese roots, there are hot springs you can soak in and nature walks, with a bit of a Glastonbury vibe (secret woodland gig anyone?), so go explore!"
2) Summer Sonic
Where: Osaka & Tokyo (two concurrent events)
Genre: Various
http://www.summersonic.com
"Summer Sonic is one of the 'Big Two' music festivals in Japan, along with Fuji Rock Festival. As a world-famous music event, Summer Sonic is so massive that it's held in both Osaka and Tokyo during one weekend in mid-August. It works by having half the artist lineup in Osaka while the other half plays at Tokyo. On day two, the performers swap venues. You need to get two-day tickets in one city to watch them all.
Whether you're looking for the biggest bands in rock music (the likes of Coldplay, Muse, Metallica) or amazing indie and psychedelic acts (Rex Orange County, Tame Impala), this concert has got them covered. Fans of Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne can sway their hips to chill EDM beats. Alternative, pop and punk rockers alike will feel giddy over Hayley Williams' powerful vocals on Paramore's catchy hit, 'Hard Times'. If you're only into Asian bands or J-rock, there's still plenty to choose from! Headbang to One OK Rock and 9mm Parabellum Bullet's tasty guitar riffs."
3) Ultra Japan
When: September
Where: Tokyo
Genre: Electronic, EDM
https://ultrajapan.com/ja
"Ultra Japan is the biggest EDM festival in the country and you don't even need to catch the train to a paddock in the middle of nowhere to enjoy it. Held since 2014 at the outdoor Ultra Park in Odaiba, the festival is part of the Ultra Music Festival global circuit including stops in Bali, Mexico, Miami and Brazil. The festival has three stages to keep you busy: the Main Stage which features the big EDM names, the Resistance Stage which offers more underground techno/deep house performers and the Ultra Park stage which highlights upcoming and local artists."
4) Rock in Japan
When: August
Where: Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Prefecture
http://rijfes.jp
"For the biggest J-pop and J-rock festival this summer, look no further than Rock in Japan Fes, which spans across five days over two weeks. This is the best option for fans of J-rock and J-pop. While other festivals of this size typically cater to foreign artists and fans, Rock in Japan features the biggest Japanese acts such as BABYMETAL, Capsule, and Mr. Children. Located in Ibaraki prefecture, the event is spread out over two weekends in August."
5) Electric Daisy Carnival Japan (EDC Japan)
When: May 11-12, 2019
https://japan.electricdaisycarnival.com/en/
"Started as a warehouse party in LA in 1997, EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) has grown into an international music festival that hits four different continents and nearly a million fans every year. The carnival-themed event is way beyond your typical electronic music fest (crazy as those can be too), blending together art installations, light shows, fireworks, wacky over-the-top costumes, cutting-edge stage production and of course world-class electronic music, for a 'multi-sensory experience'."
6) Countdown Japan
When: New Year's Eve
http://countdownjapan.jp
"Why stop at a midnight countdown when you could 'count down' for four days straight? That seems to be the thinking behind Countdown Japan – the most over-the-top NYE celebration this year for ambitious NYE revellers, comprising a four-day music festival out in Chiba. The festival features five stages and about 40-50 Japanese music acts – per day. That's right; a total of almost 200 artists will be hitting the stage as the year closes out, with the party finally wrapping up at 5am on New Year's Day."
7) Download Festival Japan
Photo via Download Festival Japan
When: March
Genre: Rock / Metal
https://www.downloadfestivaljapan.com/en
"British rock music festival Download comes to Japan for the very first time in March 2019 bringing with it rock legends Ozzy Osbourne, Slayer and Anthrax. Ozzy Osbourne and Slayer are reportedly on their last-ever world tour. In addition to the 70s and 80s legends, Sum 41 (of 90s/early 2000s vintage), Arch Enemy, Halestorm, Man with a Mission, Amaranthe and Like a Storm are also along for the ride."
8) Hostess Club Weekender
When: Various times throughout year
Where: Tokyo & Osaka
Genre: Indie / Alternative
https://ynos.tv/hostessclub/
"Held multiple times in both Tokyo and Osaka throughout the year, this indoor festival features some of the biggest names in alternative and indie rock. Previous acts include The National, Blonde Redhead, Best Coast, and St. Vincent."
9) Earth Celebration
Where: Sado Island
https://www.earthcelebration.jp/en/
"The Earth Celebration is an annual music festival by the internationally acclaimed Kodo taiko group which is based on Sado Island. Each year the festival features different guest artists who perform in collaboration with Kodo. The three day event is held in mid to late August in and around Ogi Town.
Thousands of people come from all over Japan and the world to enjoy the festival's many events. The main event are three outdoor concerts held in the evenings of each festival day in the Harbour Market at Ogi Harbor. The Harbor Market also features dozens of small shops and food stands that are open from morning to evening. Some fringe events are held there, as well, during daytime. A couple of smaller concerts are also held at the Shukunegi Community Hall."
10) No Nukes
http://no-nukes.jp/
"Started in 2012, a year after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, No Nukes is a two-day music festival that aims to bring awareness to the anti-proliferation movement. This high-profile (and contentious) event points out that, even eight years after the Fukushima disaster, there are still displaced residents who haven't been able to return home, and, meantime, new nuclear power plants have gone up across Japan in the past two years. This event brings together like-minded artists to express their concern at the growing dependency on nuclear energy despite its obvious dangers…"
11) Greenroom Festival
When: May
Where: Yokohama
https://greenroom.jp
"The concept behind the Greenroom Festival down at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse is 'Save the Beach, Save the Ocean'. The outdoor party celebrates beach and surf culture, but with an emphasis on protecting the ever-shrinking number of usable domestic beaches in Japan. Performances span the gamut from live music to art gallery exhibitions to video screenings and more. You can even join a yoga class out on the lawn. And of course, there will be plenty of food and drink."
12) Rising Sun Rock Festival
Where: Hokkaido
https://rsr.wess.co.jp/2019/
"The Rising Sun Rock Festival was launched in 1999 as Japan's first full-scale, all-night outdoor rock festival. Concerts are simultaneously held on several stages—large and small—over two days on spacious grounds. The music continues all night on day two, finishing up shortly after 4 AM as the sun begins to rise. Visitors can enjoy the music any way they please: lying down on a picnic sheet, while enjoying a barbecue, or perched on top of a rolled sheet of grass.
The fresh air and Hokkaido setting, along with the many food stalls, make the festival popular with the performing artists themselves. Music fans, including families, flock from all over the country, some pitching tents near the stage to spend the night at the venue."
13) Miyako Island Rock Festival
Where: Miyakojima, Okinawa
http://mirf.jp
"Miyakojima rock festival 2018 is to be held on Miyakojima to make the island much more hotter!This time slogan is "SAVE THE SEA, SAVE THE SKY"! This year it is also hot! Hot summer fest starts from Miyakojima!"
14) Oga Namahage Rock Festival
When: July
Where: Akita
https://onrf.jp
"Head north to the home of one of Japan's most feared demon-like deities, the Namahage. Inspired by these fierce creatures, and perhaps to appease them, the Oga Namahage Rock Festival features some of the heaviest bands Japan has to offer. Ska punk rockers SiM will take the stage here, as well as Totalfat, and Orange Range. It's not all hard rock and ogres though, Akita's famous babahera (two-flavored ice cream served by old ladies) will also be on site to keep festgoers cool."
15) Suriyaki Meets the World
Photo via Facebook
Where: Nanto
http://sukiyakifes.jp
"This premier world music festival in Japan is held within the picturesque surrounds of the sparsely populated town of Nanto, some 400 km west of Tokyo. Since its inception in 1991, Sukiyaki Meets the World has attracted musicians from Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe, turning this into a sort of social gathering for cultural exchange as much as a musical festival. This year, for the first time in the festival history, you can even expect a band from the Golan Heights."
16) MetRock
http://metrock.jp
"Like the Rock in Japan festival, MetRock features only Japanese rock bands such as BABYMETAL, The Oral Cigarettes, and Alexandros. It isn't as large as Rock in Japan, but has the benefit of being held in both Tokyo and Osaka."
17) Viva La Rock
Photo via Viva La Rock Festival Facebook
https://vivalarock.jp
"For Viva La Rock 2018, which was held during May 3-5 of this year, there were a total of about 81 artists and among these artists were Yap, Maximum the Hormone, Monoeyes, Brahman, Elephant Kashimashi, Ivy to Fraudulent Game, Red Park, Rain Parade, indogo la end, and King Gnu. Just like how Viva La Pop 2017 was held on the Sunday after Viva La Rock 2017, so too was Viva La Pop or Viva La Rock Extra 2018 was held on the Sunday after Viva La Rock 2018.
The progression between these two years may be quite difficult to see because of the lack of details to compare the two with but considering that more artists came in the succeeding years of the event, it would give us a clear hint that it has been improving as the existence of this music festival goes on."
18) Art Mix Japan
Where: Niigata City, Niigata prefecture.
Genre: Cultural / Traditional Japanese Music
http://artmixjapan.com
"A traditional Japanese arts festival, Art Mix Japan was held at Ryutopia Main Hall, in Niigata City, Niigata prefecture. Their 4th annual event, 2016's Art Mix Japan featured 25 different traditional performances with acts and instruments from all across Japan, including taiko drums and a performance from Aomori prefecture using the Tsugaru-shamisen or 3-stringed Japanese lute from the Tsugaru area."
19) Monster Bash
Photo via Monster Bash
Where: Shikoku
Genre: Rock / Pop
http://www.monsterbash.jp
"Already in its 19th year, Monster Bash offers an impressive line-up of Japanese rock and pop staples, such as Dragon Ash, Buzz the Bears, UVERworld, and The Bonez. It's the must-see Shikoku music festival and a great alternative for those who want to skip the city — or have no interest in Summer Sonic."
20) Sky Jamboree
Where: Nagasaki
http://www.skyj.jp
"Sky Jamboree came about after a chance meeting between producer Katsuro Arimoto and Kemuri frontman and vocalist Fumio Ito. Their belief is that music brings everyone together — not a revolutionary concept per se, but they built on it: when everyone enjoys music together in one place, they create peace in the world. That's where the festival's annual theme, "one pray in Nagasaki" comes in. By rocking out alongside friends and enemies, it's a modern (and very rock'n'roll) way of creating world peace, even if it's just one corner of Japan for one day of the year."
21) Sweet Love Shower
When: August 30 – September 1, 2019
Where: Yamanashi
https://www.sweetloveshower.com
"Starting out in Hibiya Park in 1996, Space Shower TV's summer festival moved to Yamanakako in 2007, and the move was nothing short of a total upgrade. This pop-rock mega fes not has not only featured some of Japan's finest bands in previous years — Maximum the Hormone, One Ok Rock, Man With a Mission, and Sakanaction to name just a few — it also offers an unrivaled view of Mount Fuji while you rock out."
22) The Labyrinth
When: September / October
Where: TBA
Genre: Techno / Electronic
https://www.residentadvisor.net/promoter.aspx?id=39148
"Conjure it in your mind's eye: the teepee DJ booth, the elaborate Funktion One stacks, the luscious natural surroundings. Squint hard, and you might see Donato Dozzy in the throes of a million-hour kosmische set or feel Peter Van Hoesen's forceful techno pushing your eardrums to their limit. Your heart rate rises, your arms start to rise—and you realize they haven't even announced the lineup for this thing yet, right? Labyrinth is a known quantity at this point, but that doesn't stop the Japanese weekender from eliciting wonder from a certain kind of enthusiast. With just one stage and a lineup tailored for a flawless start-to-finish experience, it's just the sort of shared musical journey we're always aiming for."
23) Westside Outdoor Festival
Where: Kukui Island
http://www.westsideoutdoor.info
"For those looking for a proper outdoorsy event, this may be your best bet. The festival takes place on an island in the Seto Inland Sea and makes the most of the abundant nature in the area. It's family-friendly and boasts several activities ranging from slackline walking, SUP boarding, and even kid-friendly bungee jumping(!). Chill DJs and folk singers make up the main music roster, and there are even woodworking workshops for those feeling crafty."
24) Amuse Fes
When: June
Where: Chiba
http://www.amusefes.jp/2019/
"Originally based in Shizuoka, this pop music party moved to Makuhari last year after a two-year hiatus. Pop princesses Perfume, as well as FLOW, Yu Takahashi, and Porno Graffitti will perform. Also performing will be an exclusive special session band featuring members from Flumpool, Weaver, and more."
25) Dead Pop Festival
Photo via Dead Pop Festival Facebook
Where: Kawasaki, Kanagawa
Genre: Punk / Heavy Metal / Alternative
http://deadpopfest.com/sp/
"Dead Pop Festival is the brainchild of Shonan punk band SiM (Silence iz Mine), who started the project as an indoor stage show featuring bands from a variety of heavy genres. Since 2015, the festival has been upgraded to a proper outdoor festival affair, now spanning two days every summer in the outskirts of Kawasaki. Bands appearing this year include Brahman, Coldrain, and My Hair is Bad, with SiM naturally headlining each night."
26) Corona Sunsets Festival
Where: Okinawa
http://corona-sunsets.jp
"Boasting possibly the best location out of all the events listed, the Corona Sunsets Festival has all the modern festival must-haves: beaches, beer, and great music. There's no need to imagine the beauty of the ocean and the sand-strewn beaches here!"
27) Kesen Rock
Where: Iwate
http://kesenrockfes.com
"Kesen Rock Festival was canceled in 2011 because of the devastation caused to the area by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. The festival came back with a vengeance the following year, in part because local entrepreneurs and musicians wanted the world to see a different side of the region, as well as give the local economy a boost to help it recover. Five years in, the event boasts a line-up of some of Japan's best rock acts, including Brahman, Hawaiian6, 10-Feet, Locofrank, and more."
28) Muro Festival
When: July 2019
http://murofes.com
"Now in its 9th year, Muro Festival is a Tokyo-based music event headed by Shibuya live house O-Crest. This year's show will move it from last year's Odaiba beachside to Makuhari. Over 50 artists will appear on stage over the two days, including sAbstract Mash, Ircle, Lamp in Terren, and more."
29) Eat the Rock
Where: Shiga
Genre: Rock / Alternative / Ska
http://eattherock.com
"While Eat the Rock sounds like it was made to match Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's catchphrase "Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?", its true nature is quite different. This rock music festival is one-of-a-kind as there is no entry free whatsoever. It's completely free! Not only that, but the event offers ¥1,500 return shuttle bus tickets to get visitors to and from the venue with ease. While some might consider this a desperate attempt to get visitors to come out so far, looking at the line-up at past incarnations, there's no need as some of Japan's best ska acts will be there."
30) Rainbow Child
Where: Gifu Prefecture, Ena City
http://www.rainbowchild2020.com
"Rainbow Child Festival is now in the third year of its inception that was created and conceptualized with the message of living in harmony, respecting the Earth and spreading peace and love. Apart from a diverse lineup every year, they have different workshops ranging from painting, skateboarding and water sports for everyone to try out with their kids and families. So in a way, this festival embraces the beauty of our surroundings by respecting it and also makes sure everyone has a good time!"
Snow Machine Festival | Debut Festival in Japan 2020
When: March 1-4, 2020

Q: borders in tkinter not getting displayed I am writing a small program in python to get a grid like effect wherin each grid is a label.
below is my code:
from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.configure(bg='black')

FRAME = Frame( bg='red')
FRAME.pack()

heading=["source","name","code","identity","source","name","code","identity"]
r1=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
r=0
c=0
for k in range(0,5):
    for i in  heading:
        lab = Label (FRAME,text = i,bg='cyan',padx='3.0m', pady='3.0m')

        lab.grid(row=r,column=c)
        c = c+1
    r=r+1
    c=0

root.mainloop()

I cannot get the border of labels set. Please specify which attribute I should incorporate, I've tried using border width without success.

A: You say you can't get the border of the labels to be set, but I don't see anywhere in your code where you've defined a border for the labels.
If you want borders on the actual label widgets, use the borderwidth and relief options:
lab = Label (..., borderwidth=1, relief="solid"

If, instead of a border on the widget, you want a space between each widget so that the background shows through, use the padx and pady options when you use grid:
lab.grid(..., padx=1, pady=1)

Titus Vulpius Dominicus stopped by the Holden Senior Center to share tales of his life as a Roman legionnaire.
Titus, portrayed by living history presenter Andrew Volpe, talked about what life was like for him in the first century A.D.
�I�m known as a �miles gregarious,� or common soldier,� Mr. Volpe said. �I�m a Roman citizen, which you have to be to volunteer.
Mr. Volpe said that noncitizens could also volunteer for the army, although they were considered auxiliary soldiers.
Mr. Volpe explained that Roman soldiers were trained professionals, with the best pay and access to the best medical care.
As a Roman soldier, a legionnaire was responsible for carrying his gear, which weighed as much as 90 pounds, and acted as the local police force and often served as a builder.
�Many of the Roman aqueducts were built by Roman soldiers� hands,� Mr. Volpe said.
Mr. Volpe explained all the parts of his uniform, which consisted of a helmet, body armor, sword, shield, belt and dagger.
�The armor has to be flexible, because I have to march, fight and build with it on. Each legion had its own design on its shield � this is the design for the Third Legion Cyrenaica,� he said, pointing to his shield.
Mr. Volpe explained how the brow and neck guards helped to protect the legionnaire�s head by deflecting the impact of a sword.
Mr. Volpe also explained how the legionnaires fought in battle, using a pilum (javelin) as their first method of attack, and why the legionnaire�s 17-inch sword was better than a three-foot one.
Mr. Volpe also explained that while a dagger was issued for personal protection, other weapons were not permitted to be carried in the cities.

Banking Law Update on Minnesota's Revised Limited Liability Company Act
Kevin M. Busch and Patrick T. Zomer
The Minnesota Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act ("New LLC Act") was signed into law in April, 2014. The New LLC Act incorporated many partnership concepts and aligned Minnesota law with the LLC structures in many other states. Moss & Barnett discussed the impact of the New LLC Act on bankers in its article, "Minnesota's Revised Limited Liability Company Act: What it Means for Bankers," for the July, 2015 edition of Minnesota Bankers Association News Magazine.
The Minnesota Legislature adopted several revisions to the New LLC Act during the 2016 legislative session, including an important banking-related change. Before the New LLC Act was passed, an LLC could grant a security interest in all or substantially all of its assets upon approval by the board of governors, regardless if the grant of the security interest was in the LLC's normal course of business. The New LLC Act did not contain a similar provision, raising the possibility that all LLCs, regardless if board-managed, member-managed, or manager-managed, needed approval of all members before granting a blanket security interest. Depending on the number of members, this provision could have greatly increased the complexity faced by customers in securing approvals to grant a security interest. It could also have given a member owning a very small share of an LLC a disproportionately large say in lending transactions.
The Legislature has now remedied this situation for board-managed LLCs. As revised, the New LLC Act permits a board-managed LLC to grant a security interest in all or substantially all of its assets upon approval by the board of governors, regardless if the grant of the security interest is in the LLC's normal course of business. This revision conforms the New LLC Act to prior law and should avoid unnecessary complications in lending transactions. The revision only applies to board-managed LLCs, so cautious banks may still want member-managed and manager-managed LLCs to obtain the consent of all members before granting a blanket security interest.
Additional information about the impact of the New LLC Act on banking transactions is found in the article, "Minnesota's Revised Limited Liability Company Act: What it Means for Bankers," that appeared in the July, 2015 edition of Minnesota Bankers Association News Magazine.

Q: Deleted something and messed up Windows 10 experience I have a laptop running Windows 10 and it was running out of space.  this folder:

c:\users\glenn\appdata\Local\

was like 22GB, so i went hunting for the culprit.  I did find some stuff to delete, but I also deleted something I shouldn't have, I think.
I saw some files related to old Windows 10 apps in here, and so I thought it was a temporary file cache, and I cleared some of the files:

C:\Users\Glenn\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0

And now the Start Button, and Cortana, and all of the items in the taskbar do not work.  All of the Windows 7ish stuff works well, as expected.  All of the Windows8/10ish stuff doesnt work.  I see this error message is the event viewer

Activation of app
  Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy!App failed with
  error: The app didn't start. See the
  Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.

This code _cw5n1h2txyewy found in the message above is shared by other apps in that apps folder, so I'm guessing I delete the Shell Experience Host app.
Awesome.
Is there away I can reinstall Windows from PowerShell or something?   I'm trying to figure out how to revert Windows without losing my files.
Help?  Anyone know where I can find the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational logs?

A: Well, on my machine this folder weighs in at a whopping 0KB, so I don't think what you deleted was actually critical, although that doesn't explain why it stopped working for you.
The following command from an elevated powershell should reregister all the components that are failing:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
As for the logs, you should be able to find these in Event Viewer, under:

Gralha é um nome comum para vários passeriformes de pequeno tamanho e membros da família Corvidae. São aparentados aos corvos e pegas; muitas espécies pertencentes ao género Corvus, embora sejam estritamente corvos, recebem o nome comum de gralhas.

Comportamento

Em cativeiro e após serem domesticadas, gralhas passam a utilizar ferramentas, comportamento verificado em viveiros de laboratório nas universidades de Cambridge e Queen Mary, ilhas Britânicas. A publicação no Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences relata outras descobertas, como a noção de que a abundância de alimento desestimula o uso de ferramentas pelos pássaros. Então os cientistas induziram um caso de privação controlada, o que iniciou tal comportamento nos espécimes, com registro de criação de ferramentas.

Nos experimentos foi constatada a utilização do bico para segurar pedregulhos e gravetos que serviam para deslocar a tampa de um recipiente que abrigava um verme. Em um dos testes, foram abastecidas às gralhas ramos com folhas, mas a folhagem acabava por impedir a entrada do graveto no tubo com o invertebrado. As aves então removeram as folhas do galho, posteriormente acessando o alimento. Outro comportamento, previamente observado apenas no corvo-da-nova-caledónia, foi o emprego de ganchos de metal para içar um prato com comida, além da própria construção de um gancho a partir de arame retilíneo.

Examples Of Irony In Romeo And Juliet
The definition of Irony is involves an outcome that is the opposite of what you expect. There are 3 types of Irony and they are important literary devices of the play Romeo and Juliet. Dramatic Irony, Situational Irony, Verbal Irony are the 3 types of Irony in the book. Today, I will talk about these Irony and what effect they have on the play and its audience with each 3 examples of the book. The first type of iIrony is Dramatic Irony. The definition of it is the audience member has more information than the characters, and there is incongruity. In Act 3-Scene 4, the audiencewe knows Juliet and Romeo marry but Lord Capulet triesd to marry Juliet and Paris. So the audiencewe feels nervous about Lord Capulet marryingcan marry Juliet and Paris. In Act 4-Scene 5, Friar Lawrence and auditor know Juliet hasdoes not died, but Friar said she was dead to her family. It makes for a more…show more content…
It is occurs when a verbal response is different than what is expected. In Act 4, Juliet tells her father that she will marry Paris and be forever ruled by her father. Juliet and Capulet make verbal and it makes more interesting situation. In Act 2, Romeo's declaration that "My life were better ended by their hate,Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love." He would rather die violently from Capulet wrath than by missing Juliet. In Act 3-Scene 5, Juliet's parents believe she is upset for the death of her cousin, while she is really mourning over the banishment of Romeo. The audienceWe expectesd Juliet is sad about her cousin's death, but she isdoes not. The 3 Irony is Dramatic Irony, Situational Irony and Verbal Irony. We talk about their examples and effects. There are many literary device in Romeo and Juliet like pun, metaphor, foreshadow, simile, oxymoron. Irony is one of the literary device. "Irony" is when something is done or said that is incongruous with what is expected, often with bittersweet results. It is very important factor of Romeo and
Romeo And Juliet Dramatic Irony Analysis
There are many examples of dramatic irony in the story Romeo And Juliet act IV. Dramatic irony is when the reader knows important facts that some of the characters in the story do not know. Some examples or dramatic irony would be when Juliet takes a position that would " kill " her for 42 hours but the situation was miss interpreted to where she was actually dead. That was an example of dramatic irony because Romeo didn't know that Juliet was " dead " but Friar Lawrence knew. This leads to the audience knowing what happens but the characters do not.
Examples Of Figurative Language In Romeo And Juliet
Figurative Language Expressed in Romeo and Juliet The story "Romeo and Juliet", written by William Shakespeare, is the most iconic love story in the history of English literature, known worldwide for it's tragically intense love story. In the play Romeo and Juliet, we see strong examples of many different writing techniques including theme and figurative language. Figurative language refers to when the writer uses words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. This type of writing can be found within metaphors, similes, personification, Irony, and many other literary terms.
Examples Of Dualism In Romeo And Juliet
Love can blind all, even the ones with the hawk's eye. The play Romeo and Juliet By William Shakespeare is about two families that are rivals and a tragic event happens when two fall in love to quick. Shakespeare is one of the most powerful poets that has ever lived. This play is a tense, loving, yet tragic. There needs to be a tragic hero in order for there to be a tragic event.
Impulsive Love Between Romeo And Juliet
Title In every story, book, and play, there is a theme. The famous play of Romeo and Juliet, that's written by an English playwright named William Shakespeare, suggests that the theme is that acting rashly can advance towards dreadful outcomes. Shakespeare develops this theme by using the impulsive love between Romeo and Juliet and by communicating directly with his audience. One way Shakespeare promotes theme is by reiterating the idea that Romeo and Juliet are rushing their love and marriage.
Use Of Juxtaposition In Romeo And Juliet
Shakespeare uses juxtaposition as a kind of indirect characterization that makes Romeo and Juliet's characters more complex. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, juxtaposition is used in the speeches of 3 different characters and it shows the personalities of each character. In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses juxtaposition to show the light in each character and explain their personalities. Shakespeare uses juxtaposition to emphasize how Romeo's romantic nature ironically leads to something bad. Romeo is a hopeless romantic and is deeply in love with Juliet he is saying that he is looking east and seeing Juliet would be seeing the sun coming up in the east.
Fated To Ignore In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
Fated to Ignore The American president Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own mind." Roosevelt reveals the idea that only man has control of his life. Romeo believes otherwise. He drops the reins of his life and expects fate to take over, when, in reality, fate does not help him and eventually his decision to surrender his life to fate becomes the reason of his demise.
Effective Use Of Metaphors In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
Shakespeare uses metaphors and similes to express Juliet's anxiety and excitement towards spending her first night with Romeo as a married couple. Juliet's anxiety is apparent when she states,"if love be blind, it best agrees with night"(3.2.9-10). What Juliet is saying is that if love can't see, then a time when it's dark and seeing is not required would be optimal for it. This optimizes her anxious feelings about spending a night with Romeo because it shows she is unsure of how it will be. Juliet is very anxious for Romeo because she is unsure of what to expect.
Doubleness In Romeo And Juliet
In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, a tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love. Act 3, Scene 2 reveals a conversation between Juliet and the Nurse about the death of Tybalt. The Nurse discloses that Romeo killed Tybalt and Juliet begins to question Romeo's character, describing him as things such as "beautiful tyrant" (III.ii. 81). Juliet uses figures of speech such as metaphor and oxymoron to help show an overall theme of value and doubleness. Romeo is viewed by Juliet as a "serpent heart hid with a flowering face."
Romeo And Juliet's Parents
Kaela Eslinger Romeo and Juliet Imagine you had a rivalry family. Your daughter starts having a relationship with their son, they start sneaking around without your knowledge they get married. What would you do. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare the parents of Juliet went through the same situation. One would think the parents of Romeo and Juliet would know their actions.
How Do People Make Thoughtless Decisions In Romeo And Juliet
People make thoughtless decisions when they are overcome by emotion and the outcome of their decisions are unlikely to end well. This is a recurring issue in the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. The first poor decision made in the play is when Romeo is weeping over not being able to marry Rosaline, the love of his life. In an attempt to lift Romeo's depressing mood, Benvolio creates a plan where he and Romeo will join the Capulet's party so that Romeo's eyes will be open and he will see how many other amazing girls are in Verona. During Act l Scene 4 when they arrive at the Capulet's party, Romeo sees a girl, Juliet, and states "Did my heart love till now?

How were the family life of African slaves?
Best Answer: Women slaves who had many children seem to have been valued by their owners. In 'America's Women' Gail Collins writes:
'During her working life, a female slave spent much of her time pregnant, and most owners put a high value on "good breeders". Thomas Jefferson wrote "A child raised every two years is of more profit than the crop of the best labouring man....what she produces is an addition to capital." the Plantation Manual advised readers to encourage reproduction by giving every woman "with six children alive" all their Saturdays off. Major Wallon, a plantation owner, offered every new mother a calico dress and a silver dollar. More important than the presents to many young women was the fact that if they became pregnant, they were much less likely to be sold away from their husbands and relatives.
Slave owners expected women to do three-quarters of the field-work a man could do, but some did much more. But even though both sexes worked together in the fields, the men did not share much in the housework. "The women plowed just like the men" remembered former slave Henry Baker. "On Wednesday night they had to wash and after they washed they had to cook supper. The next morning they would get up with the men and they had to cook breakfast before they went to the field and had to cook the noon meal at the same time and take it with them." Men hunted for game and tilled the family garden, but even small boys were generally excused from cooking, cleaning, or washing chores.
under slavery, African Americasns led desperately constricted and frequently brual existences. But ordinary life went on as well. For most, the average day was filled with couplings and quarreling, friendship and feuds, moments of silliness, acts of selfishness, and gestures of incredible kindness. They carved out their own worlds as best they could.
Plantation slaves typically lived in one-room cabins. some were substantioal, with plank floors raised well above the ground and solid chimneys. But many were as small as ten feet square, with dirt floors and no windows. Slaves often had plots of land which they gardened, although the work had to be done, as one recalled "On moonlight nights and on a saturday evening." According to oral histroies taken from ex-slaves in the 1930s, many mothers strugged to wash the family clothes every weekend, and women told how, as young girls, they kept their best dress pressed with flowers and herbs so it would smell nice. A white Georgian recalled seeing, on Saturday nights, the roads filled with male slaves on their way to visit wives on other plantations "each pedestrian or horseman bearing his bag of soiled ".
Christmas was the biggest holiday of the year. "Slaves lived just for Christmas to come round" said Fannie Berry "Start getting ready the first snowfall. commence to saving nuts and apples, fixing up party clothes, snitching lace and beads from the big house. General celebrating time, you see, because husbands is coming home and families is getting united again. Husbands hurry on home to see the new babies. Everybody happy." Courtship rituals were much like those of other working-class American girls. Men initiated romantic pursuit, but the chain of approval necessary for courting a slave girl was more arduous than that of an upper-class heiress. "Couldn't spring up, grab a mule and ride to the next plantation without a pass" explained Andy Marion, a former slave who remembered the difficulties for men who couldn't find a desirable partner on their own plantation. "Suppose you get your master's consent to go? look here, the girl's master's got to consent, the gal got to consent, the gal's daddy got to consent, the gal's mammy got to consent. it was a hell of a way!"
It was not unusual for unwed girls to get pregnant, but they generally were married soon after, frequently to their child's father. Most slave communities did not think premarital sex was immoral, although they vigorously disapporved of adultery.
Slaves were not allowed to marry legally, but they almost always celebrated their union with a ceremony. Many prefered religious services - as many as two-fifths of the Episcopalian weddings in the Confederate states in the year before the war involved slaves. But the ministers never said "what God has joined together, let no man put asunder". The white owner could sunder a marriage with the wave of a pen, and in the eyes of the law, slaves could no more marry than they could go to court, own property, or control their children's fate. One black preacher in Kentucky, in a stroke of realism, told his brides and grooms that they were married "until death or distance do you part."
Most slaves married and stayed married to the same person all their lives. But husbands were often a fleeting presence, living on another plantation, arriving on Saturday night and leaving the next evening. In a sense, slave families were matriarchies in which the women were the only stable element. But fathers often made heroic efforts to stay with their children. Mattie jackson, a slave raised in Georgia, said her father and mother originally lived on neighbouring plantations. When her mother's wonder moved twnety miles away, her father continued his weekly visits "walking the distnace every Saturday evening and returning Sunday evening." Charles Ingram ran away from his master and was living and working as a free man when his wife died and his sons were sold to Texas. Ingram gave himself up and voluntarily resumed his life as a slave in order to take care of them.
The threat of being sold hung over every family. One historian estimated that over a typical slave woman's thirty-five year life, she had a fifty-fifty chance of being sold at least once, and would likely see the sale of several members of her immediate family. "Oh my mother My mother!" I kept saying to myself "Oh my mammy and my sisters and my brothers, shall i never see you again?" wrote Mary prince, a former slave recalling the day she was sold away from her family. Sojourner Truth's parents woke up one morning to find their owners bundling their five-year-old son and three-year-old daughter into a sleigh and driving them off to sale. The boy attempted to escape by hiding under his parents' bed, but their owner dragged him out while his mother and father stood by helpless.
Slaves who were being seperated from their families begged their new owners to purchase their spouse or children as well. many slave owners disapproved of breaking up families, and some went to great lengths to keep them intact. William massie of Virginia, who fell into financial difficulties, chose to sell his most treasured property rather than any of his slaves. "To know that my little family, white and black, is to be fixed permanently together would be as near that thing happiness as I ever expected to get" he wrote. But the death of a "good" master or mistress often broke up an estate and led to the sale of the human property. Wills ordering that families be left intact, or freed, were routinely ignored. Southern widows often found that their husbands had left them deeply in debt, forcing them to sell their slaves to pay creditors.
Next to the sale of their children or spouse, rape was perhaps the worst nightmare of slavery. We have no way of knowing how often it happened. At the end of the Civil War, somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of the slaves were beleived to be part white, but how many of those mixed bloodlines resulted from voluntary couplings, and how many womne were assaulted without becoming pregnant, it is impossible to calculate. We do know that white women were haunted by the fear that their husbands, fathers, or sons, were having sex with their slaves. And we know that black mothers nervously watched their daughters to protect them from dangers they could not understand. Harriet Jacobs, who was sexually harrassed by her master, called puberty "a sad epoch in the life of a slave girl." Rather than warning their daughters against dangers they could not really avoid, mothers prefered to shield their girls from learning anything about sex for as long as possible. The white community tended to believe that every African American woman yearned to "bring a little mulatto into the world" but in fact many slave communities resented the half-white children who reminded them that black men were unable to protect their wives and daughters. Masters seldom acknowledged their illegitimate children. Annie Burton, an ex-slave, said that her mistress often told her that her father was a planter who owned a nearby estate. "Whenever mi mistress saw him going by she would take my by the hand and run out upon th epiazz and exclaim 'Stop there! Don't you want to see and speak to and caress your darling child?" Her father would then "whip up his horse and get out of sight and hearing as quickly as possible."

For the most part, children knew their parents and grandparents and even great-grandparents. The elderly slaves on a plantation were given the job of minding the babies and helping with the cooking. Until a child was old enough to perform chores, they were not paid much attention to except by the older slaves. These passed on history, folklore and tradition.
The able-bodied men and women worked hard at least six days of the week. Most plantations saw the sense of letting them have the seventh day for rest. That was when the slaves did things with their families. They went to church, had the best meal of the week, and played with their kids.
All slaves were aware that their children could be sold at anytime, but most knew that the prosperity of the plantation was the key in keeping the family together. You didn't sell slaves when you needed them. Another good reason to work hard. They loved their children and most plantation owners did not casually separate young children from their parents. When it did happen and they DID have to sell slaves, it was usually because of financial hardship (crop failure, gambling debts, or overpopulation in the slave quarters).
The exception was the light-colored children. Mulattos were very likely to be sold as they were an embarrassment. Since the slaves knew this, they were less likely to bond with those children. They weren't really members of their family. This was especially true of father and son relationships.

Pretty desperate. In the sugar islands of the Caribbean like Trinidad and Tobago, it was cheaper to starve slaves and then import new ones then it was to feed the ones you had. In the American South food was much more plentiful but even so families were constantly split up and sold. I think the masters feared that whole families would be more motivated to escape, but regardless family life was quite unstable. With free blacks it was a different story.
Source(s): Friendly guy
it was awful. families were routinely torn apart so there could be no bonding and possible uprising against the master. slaves were viewed like live stock. many slave women were breeders. as soon as possible the babies would be sold away like a farmer might sell a calf. it was sad and as a result a lot of black people don't have a good sense of ancerstry. think about how horrible that would be.
Use your imagination. You know how slaves were treated. Would you find that a difficult way to live? Would you like it? Would you recommend it as an employment opportunity for your fellow countrymen?

Every year, at least 1 million persons in the United States are diagnosed with diabetes, which tends to make this illness a single of the nation's most really serious overall health issues that, if left unchecked, could attain epidemic proportions. And it does not quit there. Normally, persons who endure from diabetes also have to contend with other complications, which not only enhance the threat to the patient's overall health but also add to the increasing price of overall health care. This tends to make it needed for an efficient illness management system for diabetes to be in location.
Illness management is basically a coordinated and continuous course of action of overall health care with the aim of managing and enhancing the overall health of the individuals diagnosed with recurring or extended term illnesses or circumstances. This is an integrated remedy and management program that covers prevention, pharmaceutical care, therapies and upkeep for a precise illness, such as diabetes.
A diabetes illness management can also be a service or solution that pharmaceutical organizations offer you as an extension of their healthcare solutions. A illness management system or package can involve physicians, healthcare pros and other clinical teams, prescription drugs and corresponding therapies that are usually linked to databases to market the thriving remedy of individuals.
A illness management system for diabetes also incorporates patient education, care provider education and self care management. The program is created for individualized care primarily based on a pre-set list of clinical suggestions. In diabetes care, illness management is just a single of the big elements of complete care offered by managed overall health organizations. A further aim of illness management for diabetes is to eventually present a price-efficient way to support individuals cope with their illnesses when possessing effective access to overall health care.
Why Is There A Will need For A Illness Management System For Diabetes?
Not only is diabetes a really serious overall health threat, it is also quite pricey. Quite usually, upkeep can price an person tens of thousands of dollars each and every year, not counting the price related with connected complications. For several employers, diabetes can substantially influence health-related charges and employer expenditures.
It can also contribute to charges connected to a reduce in productivity, employee absenteeism and even employee turnover. This tends to make it needed that a managed system is in location in order for men and women and employers to be in a position to cope with diabetes proficiently. Not only that, a sturdy diabetes management system can also support enhance care and its outcome and even minimize the dangers that usually accompany diabetes.
What Are The Aims Of A Illness Management For Diabetes?
The key aim of a illness management system for diabetes is to concentrate on offering a patient-centered process of overall health care by extending beyond clinical and health-related challenges and like the psychological and social elements of the illness. Just after all, diabetes is a illness that impacts much more than just the patient – it also impacts his loved ones and care providers. Due to the fact of its chronic nature, diabetes also tends to influence individuals psychologically, which tends to make it needed that a right venue and platform for emotional assistance be created readily available.
Illness management for diabetes also seeks to present care working with nationally accepted and recognized requirements. If a patient suffers from many chronic illnesses connected to diabetes, illness management can make health-related service coordination less difficult and much more effective, even if the key concentrate of the management program is only diabetes. By offering the most revolutionary approaches to diabetes care, a illness management system can lead to the improvement of overall health solutions and approaches. If efficiency is accomplished, overall health care price can be lowered by eliminating redundant solutions and the unnecessary charges related with failed or poor outcomes.
What Can Be Anticipated From A Illness Management System For Diabetes?
Based on the provider, a illness management system for diabetes can involve components for patient education, monitoring, tracking and recording of patients' information, educational components and remedy protocols, monitoring of patient and provider compliance to care and remedy of the illness, monitoring of outcomes of remedy and approaches, analyses of claims, efficiency reports, surveys, interventions and price assessments.

Escaped Prisoner - Wrong Justice
A prisoner escaped from a Jamaica Queens police station yesterday while being questioned by two detectives. Here's the New York Times account.
The article says, in part:
The suspect, Maxie Dacosta Jr., 27, of Queens, remained at large last night. The detective, whose name was not released, was suspended without pay and was forced to turn in his badge and gun, Mr. Browne said.
Mr. Dacosta, who had been convicted of car theft and weapons possession, was arrested Thursday morning in the death of Darnell Angevine, 25, of Amityville, N.Y., who had been fatally shot in the chest on July 28 in Jamaica during a dispute involving a group of men, Mr. Browne said.
He was questioned by the two detectives at the station house, a four-story brick building on 168th Street near Jamaica Avenue, for about two hours. For much of the time, he was shackled to a bench, but at one point the detectives took off his handcuffs and allowed him to sit at a table so that he would be more comfortable, the police said.
The detectives left the room for two or three minutes to talk about the interview and returned to find the window open and the room empty, Mr. Browne said. The other detective, who was not the lead officer on the case, was not suspended, Mr. Browne said.
What bothers me is that the police officer is suspended without pay and forced to turn in his badge and gun. Meanwhile his partner got off because he wasn't the "lead officer." Talk about dumb-ass distinction. Just from the paper's account, you never know if you're getting the whole story, and you're probably not. But assuming the Times is correct, what did the detectives do wrong?
It's too easy to say, "He let a bad guy get away." Well, yes. And he shouldn't be rewarded. Now don't get me wrong. It's not good that a guy who very likely killed somebody escaped. But so what? He'll be caught again. Easy come, easy go. What exactly did the detectives do wrong?
Handcuffs hurt. Taking them off a cooperative suspect is allowed. It's not like these sessions are short. They last for hours. If detectives are forced to keep handcuffs on, people are going to be that less willing to talk to police.
The only error the detectives made was assuming the room was secure when it almost was. But come on, it was on the third floor. It should have been secure. If there's a problem, it seems like it's that the police station doesn't have a more secure room to interview people. Why take it out on the cop? It's one this to bang a vacation day or something. But taking away a good cop's gun is wrong. Especially when there's a murder suspect on the loose and he's the lead detective.
Besides, anybody who is willing to jump an 8-foot gap from a window three floors up deserves some credit.

The Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas) is a large shark found all throughout the Global Oceans and in rivers up until a certain point.
The Bull Shark is in the top 3 most likely sharks to attack, and has attacked humans 163 times from 2013-1880 according to the shark attack files.
These sharks mostly inhabit shallow areas and bays, and are well known as a ferocious killer, although they are just mis-understood.
The Bull Shark is Near Threatened (NT).
Bull Sharks like to eat many things, and will jump at the oppourtunity to eat anything that seems suiting. Typically this is Rays, other Sharks and Bony fish.
Many times these sharks will pursue schools of fish inshore. Like many sharks and predatory fish, Bull Sharks are especially solitary eaters.
Avoid swimming at or near river mouths that seem to have turbid waters, as Bull Sharks love to hang out in these areas.
Avoid swimming into large schools of baitfish in bays and coastal areas, as Bull Sharks may be trying to catch a bit there.

France deeply regrets the United States' decision to stop contributing to the funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
France reiterates its commitment to UNRWA, whose services to more than five million Palestinian refugees are essential to local and regional stability.
France recalls that the issue of Palestinian refugees and their right to return is a final-status matter and can be determined only in the framework of negotiations between the parties.
It is essential for the international community to remain mobilized to allow UNRWA to complete its missions in the long term and continue its reform. France has increased its contribution this year and is considering new possibilities for financial support, in particular for educational activities.

Full Case Name: Luther B. WERTMAN, d/b/a Northside Animal Hospital, Appellant, v. Joseph P. TIPPING and Ann M. Tipping, his wife, Appellees.
Country of Origin: United States Court Name: District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District Primary Citation: 166 So.2d 666 (Fla.App., 1964) Date of Decision: Tuesday, July 28, 1964 Judge Name: WILLIS, BEN C., Associate Judge Jurisdiction Level: Florida Judges: WILLIS Associate Judge; STURGIS and RAWLS J. C. J. concur. BEN C. Attorneys: Howell & Houser, Jacksonville, for appellant. Adams, Rothstein & Siegel, Jacksonville, for appellees. Docket Num: No. F-194
The plaintiffs, owners of a seven-year-old trained, registered full blood German Shepherd dog, sued the defendants for the loss of this dog from the kennels at the animal hospital owned and operated by the defendant. The dog had been boarded at defendant's place and while there escaped from the kennel and was never found. This case set the wheels in motion for companion animals damages in Florida when the court affirmed a verdict of $1000, for a purebred dog. The court declined in only applying the fair market value and held that recovery could include special or pecuniary value to the owner.
WILLIS, BEN C., Associate Judge.
The trial court, without a jury, awarded a judgment in the sum of $1,000 against the defendant Wertman and he appeals.
The plaintiffs, owners of a seven-year-old trained, registered full blood German Shepherd dog, sued the defendants for the loss *667 of this dog from the kennels at the animal hospital owned and operated by the defendant. The dog had been boarded at defendant's place and while there escaped from the kennel and was never found.
The defendant appellant urges that the trial court committed two reversible errors. First, he says, there was an abuse of discretion in denying his motion that the cause be tried by a jury. Second, he contends the amount of the award is excessive.
The complaint was filed September 17, 1963 and the answer on October 4, 1963. Neither demanded a jury trial. There were no other pleadings. Defendants' motion for trial by jury was served over two months later on December 10, 1963. Prior thereto, on December 4, the court had ordered the case set for trial on January 28, 1964.
Under our Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, either party in a law action may require, as of right, a jury trial on any issue triable of right by a jury, but unless demand for same is served not later than ten days after service of the last pleading the right is deemed waived. F.R.C.P. 2.1(b), (d), 31 F.S.A.
It is also the established law in this jurisdiction that a trial court may order a jury trial after the lapse of the ten day period 'if justice requires it'. Shores v. Murphy (Fla.1956) 88 So.2d 295. The Shores case comments on our practice of liberal amendment of pleadings and the high priority of importance of the right to trial by jury. For these and other reasons it was found that a trial court has the discretionary power in a proper case to award a jury trial notwithstanding failure of Formal demand within the time provided by the rules.
When a motion for jury trial is made after lapse of the ten day period, the trial court is called upon to exercise a sound judicial discretion in determining if the ends of justice require the granting of the motion. If it is plain that justice would be denied if the motion is not granted, the trial judge would have abused his discretion and committed reversible error in denying such motion. However, the burden is on the moving party to establish that justice requires that the motion be granted.
The case here had already been set for trial when the motion was made and to have granted it a postponement of the trial date would have been required. [FN1] This could have been an inconvenience and handicap to the plaintiffs and also to the court. There are other factors which the trial judge might properly have considered, such as the state of the trial calendar and his own prior commitments of his time, which are not apparent from the record but woudl be within his peculiar knowledge. The presumption is in favor of the correctness of the order. For this court to overthrow it, the appellant must show that it is clearly erroneous. We do not deem such a showing to have been made.
FN1. In the defendants' motion one of the grounds set forth was that 'a civil jury trial will be in the box to try civil cases in Division F of this Court during the month of February.' This case was assigned to Division F, so the allegation is to the effect that the case could be tried sometime in February, 1964 by jury before the judge of the division to which the case was assigned.
The right to a trial by jury is a deeply cherished and jealously guarded fundamental precept. It will not be taken away when injustice woudl be the result. However, our rules do require of a litigant to have this right that the make a simple, unsophisticated, short written demand for it either in his pleading, or separately, within ten days after service of the last pleading. If he doesn't ask for it by then, the court and his opponent may deem it waived and arrange their affairs accordingly. When this almost effortless prerequisite is not met, the tardy litigant must demonstrate that the award of a jury trial will not only be an accommodation of his desires but also will impose no injustice on his adversary*668 [ FN2] and further will no unreasonably inconvenience the court in the performance of its duties. See: Bittner v. Walsh, Fla.App., 132 So.2d 799; Bardee Corp. v. Arnold Altex Aluminum Co. et al., Fla.App., 134 So.2d 268. The appellant-defendant did not meet this burden.
FN2. See McKesson & Robbins v. Barwick, 95 So.2d 601, Fla., which holds that rights and interests of adversary must not be overlooked in considering application for continuance.
On the issue of the propriety of the amount of the judgment, we find that there was substantial, competent evidence to support the finding of trial judge that the dog which was lost had a value of $1,000. Such a finding is reflected in the judgment rendered. The evidence on this issue is in conflict, but such conflicts have been resolved by the trial judge and hs is not shown to be in error in the judgment rendered. Some statements of the trial judge made during the trial intimate that he may have regarded the measure of damaged to be the market value of the dog. There is competent evidence sufficient to sustain a finding that the dog's market value was the sum awarded. However, the measure is not limited to this consideration. As said in Associate Independents, Inc. v. Laporte, Fla.App., 158 So.2d 557: 'Generally, in an action seeking damages for the injury or destruction of a dog the basis of recovery may be either the market value, if the dog has any, or some special or pecuniary value to the owner, ascertainable by reference to the usefulness or services of the dog'. In this case there was considerable evidence of special usefulness of the dog to plaintiffs which may and could have been regarded as of substantial value to the owner. Viewing all of these circumstances the amount of the award, though quite adequate, is not unrealistic and certainly not shocking to judicial conscience.
The judgment is
STURGIS, C. J., and RAWLS, J., concur.

For the second time in less than twelve months, the county's politicians have once again been called on to fight to retain vital health services in Laois.
The three TDs and senators challenged the close of the hospital on financial grounds.
Speaking at Monday night's public meeting in Abbeyleix, Fine Gael TD, Charlie Flanagan said he was taken aback last week, when he was told in a phone call of the closure. He was unsure if the decision could be changed.
"I'm not sure if this decision can be reversed. I have spoken to the HSE about the matter and they tell me that it isn't going to be reversed," he said.
He said it was an economic decision, because of the state of the finances of the country.
"The HSE in Laois/Offaly division are €6million overdrawn as we speak, that figure will become €7m by the end of the year," he said.
Sinn Fein TD Brian Stanley said the decision came on the back of a steady downgrade.
"Abbeyleix has been wound down over the last number of years and that's why the cost is so much per bed. I know the staff are prepared to cut costs and make huge sacrifices. The facility is the jewel in the crown of the public nursing home system in county Laois and beyond. It's pristine, huge renovations have taken place there," he said.
Deputy Stanley said there would be greater medical costs because patients would not be looked after as well in some private nursing homes.
Fianna Fail's Sean Fleming said the HSE would now have to pay an additional €1.5m, on top of the existing payroll bill of €2.6m, to private nursing homes.
He pointed out the extra sercurity and maintenance costs to look after the building.
He said there had been other closures of nursing homes on health and safety grounds, but this was the first in Ireland to close on financial grounds.
"There is history being made in Abbeyleix at the moment, wrong history and we need that reversed, Abbeyleix has to take a stand for Abbeyleix and for the elderly people of Ireland, so they're not shoved out on money grounds.
"The HSE have said this this is a financial decision. We have seen a new departure for the Department of Health. Money now comes before patients," he said.
Labour Party Senator John Whelan said he did not trust the HSE management.
"It's a poor decision and on that basis we can challenge it and have it overturned. They are faceless management officials, who sat around a table. The decision wasn't made on clincical or healthcare grounds. It was simply made on a book balancing exercise.
"They're €7million overrun and they decided to go for a soft target and pick on 70, 80 and 90 year olds in Abbeyleix to help them balance their books," he said.
He said the HSE officials had failed to assure him this was the end of the matter.
