Q: filtrar un valor especifico de un arreglo en JavaScript para asignarle una etiqueta p personalizada a cada valor del arreglo Quiero filtrar un valor específico de un arreglo en JavaScript para asignarle una etiqueta p personalizada a cada valor del arreglo, tengo este código, pero simplemente se me recorre todos los valores que tengo almacenado en formularioName y se repite el botón.
Por ejemplo sí tengo en formularioName el valor de paco poder tener en Botón to="/NombreAmenazaPaco" y otro para Miguel <Boton to="/NombreAmenazaMiguel", etc.
        {
        respuesta && respuesta.map (p =>

{p.data().formularioName} <Boton to="/NombreAmenaza">Amenaza</Boton>
)
        }

A: Si en p.data().formularioName viene el valor deseado suponiendo que sea algo así: "NombreAmenazaPaco" bastaría con usar backticks y concatener "/" + el valor recibido. (No es la única manera de concatenarlos).
Así quedaría la concatenación:
`/${p.data().formularioName}` //Como es JavaScript debes encerrar toda esa línea entre llaves { }.

Así quedaría el código completo:
  {respuesta &&
    respuesta.map((p) => (

        {p.data().formularioName}
        <Boton to={`/${p.data().formularioName}`}>Amenaza</Boton>

  ))}

El Botón podría ser un  donde el href sería lo mismo que el to que tienes en el <Button>.
Y en caso de estar usando react-router se podría utilizar <Link to="concatenaciónAnterior">.


Playing with Papercrafting: August Night in Bethlehem!
I am working on my first Christmas Buffet class coming up in two weeks time, and although I just did my first pre-order from the new Holiday Catalogue, I still don't have the products. I'm relying on items from the Annual Catalogue to complete a few cards to get a head start. Also, my customers won't be able to purchase any of the new sets until September, so I don't want to use too much of what they can't buy themselves yet. The set I used in this sample is Night in Bethlehem, coupled with the coordinating Bethlehem Edgelits dies. Actually, aside from the sentiment, it's all the Bethlehem Edgelits dies. But I was able to use some of the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper in the background as well. Isn't that design perfect for this Christmas card?
The dimensions of layers are slightly altered from the regular measurements that would typically be used. This is because of the width of the edgelits . They cut a width of 4 3/4" across. Normally that would lead to a height of 3 1/2", but more height was needed on this card to fit in the night sky, two layers of the village and then the sentiment and Mary & Joseph at the bottom, so I made the height 3 7/8".
The Broadway Bound Specialty DSP at the back makes a perfect starry night sky and the gold is echoed in the gold embossed sentiment in the bottom left. The sentiment is the one element from the Night in Bethlehem Stamp Set.
The three layers of village and road are three different colours of cardstock in order to distinguish them from each other: Basic Black, Basic Gray and Sahara Sand for the road. The black layer is glued down and the second layer is mounted on Stampin' Dimensionals for some depth. Mary & Joseph are also mounted on dimensionals.

Censoring 2020 Has Already Begun As Big Tech 'Pulls Out All The Stops' To Prevent Independent Media From Countering The 'Official Narrative'
By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine
They Want Us Gone Before The 2020 Elections
As more and more Democrats throw their hat in the ring, already announcing they'll be running for president in 2020, big tech has begun to pull out all the stops to prevent Independent Media (IM) from bypassing the mainstream media narrative by not only limiting the reach of IM articles and video reporting, but actively hiding reports that do not conform to their narrative, while Microsoft is attempting to blacklist entire websites, such as Drudge and Breitbart by declaring them fake news.
YOUTUBE CENSORS 'BORDER-LINE CONTENT' AKA CONSPIRACY VIDEOS
YouTube, a site made popular by videographers that questioned the official narrative, quite literally turning it into the biggest videoplatform on the Internet to date, although others are now becoming pretty popular given YouTube's recent censorship practices, has decided to flip the very creators that made them so big, a huge middle finger by announcing that they would be hiding content they consider to be "conspiracy."
Via Google's blog post on the new changes:
We'll continue that work this year, including taking a closer look at how we can reduce the spread of content that comes close to—but doesn't quite cross the line of—violating our Community Guidelines. To that end, we'll begin reducing recommendations of borderline content and content that could misinform users in harmful ways—such as videos promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, claiming the earth is flat, or making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11.
"Reducing recommendations" is code for censoring, hiding videos from users even if they are searching using specific terms. If YouTube deems the informative video to be out-of-the-box, something that questions the official narrative, AKA "conspiracy" theories, then a user will not be able to find it in the recommendations, which is supposed to pull up videos most searched for by the user to recommend content they are interested in.

'Pay Attention To Fear, Not logic': Feminist Social Justice Warrior Admits They Don't Think, They Only Feel, Saying 'Emotions Are The Only Thing That Are Real'
It isn't often a liberal feminist social justice warrior will admit to what conservatives have pointed out as obvious, that facts don't matter to liberals across the spectrum, politicians, feminists, the media, nor do statistics, just "feelings" and "emotions," whether those feeling and emotions make any sense or not or even if they are based in any type of reality.
Feelings can be manipulated, as the media proves almost every day, using emotion to argue why illegal aliens should be given more than American citizens in the U.S., how apparel promoting president Trump, or hats that say "Make America Great Again" are somehow automatically to be considered racist, yet nothing about any of it speaks to race at all.....but the media says so, therefore liberals must believe it because they "feel" it.
In an utterly bizarre video clip taken during the Women's March in LA., a bald-headed feminist SJW casually admitted a number of things about the feminist movement today.
The woman, and yes, I use that term loosely, confronted a black man in a MAGA hat, screaming in his face, then when asked "you want 50/50 huh?, she screams belligerently "No, I want the whole f**king thing, Motherf**ker." When asked if she is is all for only women in the world, she backtracks saying "of course not," but the cheers from the other Women's March attendees when she says they want the whole thing, tells the story of the nature of today's feminism movement.
It gets worse though when after hugging the black man wearing a Make America Great Again hat, she then proceeds to tell him to "think about your hat and the way it makes people feel," claiming further that it "incites fear in all those around us."
After telling the man "for so many people that's racism," he responds perfectly, pointing out "That's because of the mainstream media's narrative that's painted Donald Trump as a racist. I don't agree with that narrative. I'm out here trying to share that that narrative is skewed."
It is then that the SJW astounds by informing a black man, that is telling a white girl, that he doesn't see any racism in President Trump, when she astounds the man by saying "as a human being we should pay attention to fear and not logic." He questions her "logic" on that by asking her "I should pay attention to emotion and not facts?" Her response is "Yes."
Apparently dumbfounded by the lack of an substance to her appeal, he asks "Why would I pay attention to emotion....." and she responds "Emotions are the only thing real in this world."
There is more back and forth but what she is admitting is that liberals these days do not operate on facts, even worse, they don't care about facts at all, only how they "feel," and that they believe that what they feel is more important and should be held in higher regard than the truth. The bonus is hearing right from the horses mouth, so to speak, that feminists today do not want equality, equal rights, they want more rights than men.
LANGUAGE WARNING - Like many of today's feminists they apparently can't help themselves from being foul-mouthed when out in public.

Exorcising The Mainstream Media Demons And Taking Back America: The War For The Future Is Here And These Charts Show Us What We're Up Against
By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die
The MSM's Covington Lies Could Be The Straw That Breaks Their Backs
While this January 21st story over at Infowars by Jon Bowne titled "Are These America's Final Days?" immediately warns the establishment is pushing our country to the brink of destruction with the 'deep state' making it abundently clear that they'll stop at nothing until President Trump is removed from office, thus negating the will of the American people and overturning the results of the 2016 election by any means necessary, something amazing is happening all across our land with the latest #CovingtonBoys incident pushing us over and across two threshholds we'll explore within this ANP story.
As the Washington Post reported in a story which Susan Duclos also elaborated on in a story yesterday, when the Covington story went viral, the "Trump internet" pounced, nearly immediately turning around the mainstream media's lying and politically motivated narrative with proof via a much longer, context-providing video. And while many on the left apologized for immediately blaming school children for the incident rather than a stolen valor Native American who apparently worked as a Democratic operative for a number of years, the Washington Post story elaborated on 'the bigger picture' to all of this with the following sentence.: "But when new details shifted the story into more ambiguous territory, a well-oiled machine of pro-Trump personalities and sites saw an opportunity to strike."
Yet as anyone paying attention to the independent media knows, as a whole, a 'well-oiled machine' we are not with independent media just that, many different websites completely independent from other websites which just happen to be pushing similar themed stories, stories written individually by many different writers in our own search for truth. Highly unlike the mainstream media's 'well-oiled machine' which is overwhelmingly owned by only six different corporations. But unfortunately for them, even a 'well-oiled machine' will fail once they get away from what should be their primary job description, providing truth to the masses, rather than what they've become for the last many decades; propaganda for the globalists who've been attempting to divide rather than unite America.

The Globalists 'Golden Child' Is Also A Radical Islam Apologist Only Two Steps Away From The Presidency: Watch Out For A Deep State Coup Attempt To Install 'President Pelosi'
And Don't Forget, Pelosi Also 'Drank The Reverend Jim Jones Kool-Aid'!
Back on January 4th, Baltimore Magazine published this story titled "The Gavel Goes Back To Nancy D'Alesandro Pelosi Of Little Italy"with the return of the daughter of former Baltimore mayor Thomas D'Alesandro becoming the first House Speaker to actually regain the position after she had lost it in 6 decades.
For those who may not be aware, Pelosi actually grew up in Baltimore's 'Little Italy' and while the Baltimore Magazine story neglected to weigh-in upon her father's checkered past, this January 21st story over at the website 'State of the Nation' fills in the blanks very nicely for us.
As State of the Nation reported then, Pelosi's father, also a former US Congressional Rep from Maryland, was a constant companion of the notorious mobster Benjamin Magliano of the Baltimore Crew which operated in 'Little Italy' from the 1920's to the 1990's and was a faction of the Gambino crime family, with even former President John F. Kennedy concerned about Pelosi's father's relationship with organized crime according to this February 9th of 2018 story over at The Federalist Papers.
And while millions of Americans look at Pelosi as an increasingly senile old bat who should get out of politics all-together as every time she opens her mouth, she embarrasses herself and America, this January 20th story also at State of the Nation reports Nancy is also the globalists 'golden child', completely owned by the 'new world order' with ties to not only the mafia but the old banking families and 'black nobility'. From the State of the Nation story.:
California Representative Nancy Pelosi was recently reinstalled as House Speaker by her Deep State masters to eventually become the first female president of the United States. She has been groomed from the beginning of her political career to be the quintessential court jester of American politics.
Everyone knows the jester just like they know the town fool. They will do or say just about anything, no matter how foolish, as a means of getting everyone to underestimate them.
KEY POINT: That's not to say that Nancy Pelosi wasn't purposefully selected for this pivotal role because of her old age, increasing mental deficits and temperamental nature. These specific characteristics are then taken advantage of by her Deep State handlers to advance the New World Order agenda to undermine the American Republic. In other words, Pelosi is a super-medicated globalist whose prescription drugs literally keep her on the NWO reservation.
And as we hear in the must-listen only video at the bottom of this story, with Pelosi now only behind POTUS Trump and VP Mike Pence in the presidential pecking order, a coup attempt to install Pelosi as President may very well be underway with our videographer giving us evidence that such a plot may have very well been recently prevented.

Report: Roger Goodell won"t yield in Tom…
Report: Roger Goodell won"t yield in Tom Brady"s appeal
By Sean Leahy |
PUBLISHED: May 23, 2015 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: November 18, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
The bitter feelings around Tom Brady's suspension continued to escalate yesterday as the NFL Players Association took aim at Roger Goodell.
NFL lawyers recommended that Goodell should not recuse himself from hearing Brady's appeal, sources told the Associated Press. League spokesman Greg Aiello said no final decision had been made, but Goodell does not intend to yield his right to judge Brady, the sources said.
The move came the same day NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith criticized Goodell in a potential preview of how the union will attack the league during Brady's appeal.
Goodell has the right to hear the appeal, according to the league's collective bargaining agreement, but the union believes he is an integral figure in the Brady punishment and intends to call him as a witness at the hearing.
Smith said he has serious concerns about whether the NFL's discipline process has been "fair" to Brady and about the magnitude of the punishment. He also said Goodell is simply not credible to serve as the appeals officer, citing failures in notable recent cases of Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson where his punishments were overturned.
"In any case where we believe the commissioner or any employee at the NFL is a necessary witness for a fair process, like we do here, we also believe he can't both be a witness then an arbitrator on his own credibility," Smith said in an interview on ESPN.
Smith left open the possibility that the union would go to court to try and force Goodell out as the appeals officer, something the union hinted at last week when it told the NFL it would "pursue all available relief to obtain an arbitrator who is not evidently partial."
Goodell on Wednesday reaffirmed his confidence in the findings of the NFL-commissioned Wells Report, that it was "more probable than not" that Patriots employees improperly deflated footballs before the AFC Championship Game in January and that Brady was "generally aware" of the alleged scheme.
Smith seemed unimpressed by the report.
"I think the Wells Report delivered exactly what the client wanted," said the union chief.
Goodell touted the Wells Report as "independent."
Smith rejected that.
"You can't really have credibility just because you slap the word independent on a piece of paper," Smith said.
No date has been scheduled for Brady's appeal. Goodell said he considers it important for him to preside over issues about the integrity of the game.
"I look forward to hearing directly from Tom," Goodell said. "If there is new information or there's information in helping us get this right, I want to hear directly from Tom on that."

Chitwan National Wildlife Park is widely acknowledged as one of the best national parks in Asia. Chitwan National Park, with an area of 967square kilometers, lies 90 kilometers Arial distance southwest of Kathmandu in the Valley between Shiwalik range which is popularly known as inner Terai. Chitwan valley has been hunting grounds for Nepali and British Royalties. King George V and Edward VIII were among British Royalties. Chitwan was the first forest area of Nepal to be designated a national park in 1973, and was later also declared a World Heritage Natural Site by UNESCO in1984. Chitwan is a very popular wildlife safari destination on account of its thriving wildlife population and easy accessibility from both Kathmandu and Pokhara.
The subtropical forest of Chitwan in inner terai are host to a very diverse ecosystem. The predominant vegetation of sal (Shorea robusta) covers around 70% of the forest. 20% is grassland, with as many as 50 species of grass plants. The most spectacular among these are the elephant grass, which attain heights up to 8 meters. Seven percent of the area is Riverside forest in which we find Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia sisoo), Kapok (Bombax ceiba), and Acacia Catechu trees. The remaining 3% are the Chirpine (pinus roxburghii) trees that crown the upper ridges of the Churia Hills. Complementing the major vegetations is an immense variety of wild flowers, vines, creepers and parasites.
Of the 43 species of animals recorded in the park, there are an estimated 600 Great One- Horned Rhinoceros and a recent tally on tigers shows them to number 106 in all. Other mammals are Leopard, Gaur (Indian Bison), Wild Elephant, Sloth bear, Fresh water dolphin, Rhesus monkey, Langur, Wild boar, stripped hyena, Jackal, Dhole (wild dog), Ratel, Palm civet, Mongoose, various antelopes, Samber deer, spotted deer, hog deer, barking deer, etc. Ghariyal, a crocodile native of Chitwan, is most spectacular reptile. Other crocodile species is Magger. Other reptiles are: python, monitor lizard, Pangolin, Tortoise, King Cobra and other 19 snake species. There are 485 different bird species.

Product code: ES8244 Categories: Antique, Antique Bangle.
This is such a beautiful and stylish antique silver and rose gold bangle that was made in 1884, and still looks amazing on the wrist even after more than 130 years has passed.
Measuring 23.6mm wide, the bangle has such a charming floral design on the front. Making the design stand out even more, it is highlighted with rose gold which has such a lovely warm tone to it. The combination of design as well as the use of rose gold really exemplifies why there is nothing more individual than antique jewellery.
So easy and comfortable to wear all the time, this antique bangle is still in superb condition and can so easily be worn all the time.

I want to be in communication with you. In particular about what can we do about all of this that is going on.
Listen I am aware of the Situations that are occurring and have been occurring since 1913 to the present and how its all coming to a head. I appreciate people like you who are using what they have got to spread knowledge and truth to the people who are asleep.
All of this however is its own form of "Rhetoric" without actions. I understand knowledge for the sake of having it and being aware. However the true test is how you can use it to increase your survival capacity.
this takes organization etc. I'm sure there is something like this going on.
Just keep spreading the word brother.

Gary, best of luck with all your new endeavors into 2015 and thank you for keeping it real each morning, wending along with your Q23 through many of the diverse neighborhoods of Queens, generously dishing out your poetry with ample wit and good humor. Thank you for granting a baker's dozen seconds of time in order to capture just a fleeting moment of that inner substance that "drives" you so uniquely in your role as a steward out in Queens.
With the festive holiday seasons of Christmas and Hanukkah converging, Gary you remind us in your brief verse of the less fortunate among us, those sadly needing to make the harsh journey out to one of your former bus route destinations: Rikers Island, a location containing perhaps the most infamous of all prisons here in the vicinity of New York City. I'm certain your added care and concern for your passengers provided a heartened dose of compassion and comfort to the countless many during those daily trips along that tremendously overburdened via dolorosa.
Happy New Year Gary!! Hope to see you soon again. Please let us know when you change routes from the Q23.
Hey Wanda, I'll be back on the 23 in the afternoons starting in Sept. Hope to be giving you a lift!
Pleasure riding with you mornings on the Q100 on my way to the US Gulag. I'm checking out your website like you suggested and appreciate your message of peace and justice. I'm a public school teacher of incarcerated youth. Also read An Act of State that I saw on your bus. I have to believe that truth will out and with more critical thinkers like yourself it will be sooner rather than later. Every act of kindness or solidarity counts.
Hope you like, and share with other veterans and supporters you may know. Be safe.

Q: Remove | null from Typescript type I just started learning TypeScript and in some cases I'm getting an that could be Type or null. Is there an elegant way to deal with these cases?
function useHTMLElement(item: HTMLElement) {
  console.log("it worked!")
}

let myCanvas = document.getElementById('point_file');
if (myCanvas == null) {
  // abort or do something to make it non-null
}
// now I know myCanvas is not null. But the type is still `HTMLElement | null`
// I want to pass it to functions that only accept HTMLElement.
// is there a good way to tell TypeScript that it's not null anymore?
useHTMLElement(myCanvas);

I wrote the following function that seems to work, but this seems like such a common case that I'd like to know if the language itself provides something for this.
function ensureNonNull <T> (item: T | null) : T {
  if (item == null) {
    throw new Error("It's dead Jim!")
  }
  // cast it
  return <T> item;
}
useHTMLElement(ensureNonNull(myCanvas));

A: If you actually do something in the if block to make myCanvas non-null, TypeScript will recognize that:
let myCanvas = document.getElementById('point_fiel');
if (myCanvas == null) {
    return; // or throw, etc.
}
useHTMLElement(myCanvas); // OK

or
let myCanvas = document.getElementById('point_fiel');
if (myCanvas == null) {
    myCanvas = document.createElement('canvas');
}
useHTMLElement(myCanvas); // OK

A: Typescript typeguards also recognise the instanceof operator - useful when not-null isn't all you need to know
let myCanvas = document.getElementById('point_fiel');
if (myCanvas instanceof HTMLCanvasElement) {
  useHTMLElement(myCanvas);
} else if (myCanvas instanceof HTMLElement) {
  // was expecting a Canvas but got something else
  // take appropriate action
} else {
  // no element found
}

Opinion NATIONAL PARKS, MARINE PARKS ARE MAJOR CONCERNS:
NATIONAL PARKS, MARINE PARKS ARE MAJOR CONCERNS:
Wildlife has become a major concern for many animal rights activists and biodiversity experts when considering the issues that have come to the limelight during the recent past. From the human-elephant conflict to poor management strategies in national parks, deforestation and other inhuman processes that have been carried out by various factions to destroy nature are a few among the many topics that need to be discussed broadly. In a candid interview with the Dailymirror , Minister for Sustainable Development and Wildlife, Gamini Jayawickrama Perera spoke about these issues at length. Excerpts:
Q What are the projects that are currently being carried out by your Ministry?
The human-elephant conflict has become a major issue for people in certain areas. We can't really call it a conflict because if we could allow humans and elephants to coexist, then we wouldn't find it as a huge issue. During the last regime an amount of approximately Rs.10 billion was spent on fencing but this is not a solution. Today we see elephants, monkeys and other animals as pests because we are clearing jungles and going against nature. We need to have a recycled system where humans and animals can coexist. Sajith Premadasa also has agreed to pay a sum of Rs.100, 000 as compensation to a family that is affected by the human-elephant conflict. In most instances if their crops are damaged etc., but we are now paying Rs.200, 000 and throughout their life they are entitled to Samurdhi as well. There is also a major concern regarding national parks when it comes to maintenance and other issues. Park wardens sometimes cannot control the behaviour of certain visitors who visit parks and break the rules.
We are trying to introduce a bird and a butterfly section to every botanical, zoological, marine and national park in order to educate schoolchildren and other visitors and raise awareness on the different species. In addition to that we are also trying to introduce herbariums as well. We need to ensure that there are strict guidelines imposed on visitors to ensure that they will treat animals and nature well.
There will be hoardings around the park to raise awareness on how the park should be treated by the visitors. Tourists have gone to the extent of complaining that they cannot enjoy a good safari or any other excursion simply because the place is littered and animals have sensed danger. Therefore they cannot sight leopards and other animals.
Q Any other plans?
We have identified Horowpathana as an area where we can find many wild elephants in abundance. Here we are going to open a new park spanning 3500 hectares and will have close to 15 elephants living there. Within the perimeter we are also going to have camping sites and tree houses so that visitors will be able to feed the elephants and get a totally different experience altogether.
Since we have done the damage we have to make up for it. In addition to that we are also going to develop botanical gardens in Hambantota and Mirijjawila. We are not going to close any of them down and are going to introduce different varieties of birds and other animals and make them potential tourist attractions. We will also introduce marine parks where tourists can go whale and dolphin watching and visit turtle hatcheries etc. For all these we need the staff to run these initiatives efficiently. There will be new parks opened in Galgamuwa, Kanthale, Trincomalee, Habarana and Nikaweratiya
QYou mentioned that people will be allowed to feed elephants within parks. Isn't it a bad practice? Don't you think that once they get used to this food that they will become a nuisance?
Yes definitely it had created problems. We are only going to introduce this in the Horowpathana national park. In any other place, visitors should refrain from
feeding animals.
Q If we take Yala itself there are many issues which have popped up including the reckless driving of the safari drivers inside the park. Any actions taken regarding
this problem?
Yala block 1 will be converted in to 5 blocks. Within block 1 there are 30,000 hectares. We are going to introduce entrance control and will be taking measures to discipline the staff working in the park. This is a main source of income in terms of tourism and we need to secure our resources. Back in 2015 we had 1.8 million tourists who came down to Sri Lanka and this year we are targeting 2.5 million.
QIs it true that Yala will be closed for one year?
The entire area is very much polluted. Since we are going to introduce this 5 block concept we will have to close it down for a few months. It has become an ugly place for tourists and the trees and animals also need rest.
Q A poacher was killed last year during a confrontation between wild life officers and a group of poachers at Yala National Park. Are there any regulations imposed on poaching practices?
Regulations are there but implementing them is the problem. We have been trying to evacuate the families who are living around the border but they are not willing to do so.
They are linked with nature and the animals to the extent that they do not want to be evacuated at any cost. There is also an issue regarding illicit weed plantations and therefore we have sought the assistance of the Air Force to pinpoint these places and take necessary steps to get hold of the culprits.
Q The Port City Project is a threat to aquatic life. What measures will be taken to protect aquatic organisms once it starts?
If you go against nature it will affect you in one way or the other. Because of this project the movement of tides will be disturbed. There is a similar issue in Mirissa where we have to divert the shipping routes since they disturb the dolphins there.
Q Recently a baby elephant was gifted to New Zealand. But another baby elephant 'Anjalee' was gifted back in 2012. Why two elephants to NZ?
This is the result of an agreement which was signed back in 2012 by Basil Rajapakse among the Sri Lankan government, University of Auckland and the Auckland zoo. In exchange for these two baby elephants they will build up an elephant research centre here.
Q Is it true that 'Anjalee' contracted Hepatitis once it was sent there?
Now it has gained 700 pounds and we have seen photos.
Q Was it separated at the age of 6?
Actually we don't like to send them. We hope that they are looking after these animals well. Before sending these animals we have to get permission from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
Q What about elephants that are illegally captured? Are they sent back to their original habitats?
The CID carries investigations and the case is handled by the Attorney-General's department. Once the judgement is given we will decide what could be done because when they are being released they are mentally frustrated at times. There have been instances when the mother is tranquilized and baby elephants are dumped in to pits and are abandoned. It is quite a pity to see all these. But my job is to protect all animals and ensure that they are safe.
Q Is that all? What about a legal framework?
We will issue a licence and charge a fee from those who are possessing elephants. The animal should also be kept within the land and I hope this will make some influence against elephant smuggling.
QUsing elephants in parades and processions is not a very pleasant sight. Don't you think that it is an unethical practice to chain and make them walk for long distances?
In a way yes. But we have to consider the safety of the people as well. I would prefer elephants walking without mounds or chains but traditionally this has been the practice.
QWe have the Pinnawala elephant orphanage and along with it we will have another elephant research centre. Is it really the need of the hour?
Research is needed for animal breeding and for educating the people on types of illnesses they can contract, treatments and also processes like insemination.
Q We see many pet shops selling different types of animals on the road side. Are these businesses registered?
Good question. We haven't really thought about it but definitely it is something we have to attend to. We need to closely look at the rights of the animals.
Q Many NGOS are actively involved in looking after stray animals. Any projects carried out by the Ministry in this regard?
We appreciate their efforts. The government alone cannot do all this. We should encourage the private sector to get involved in these kinds of projects.
QA Flora and Fauna Protection Ordinance was introduced to ensure that the natural habitats are secured within the boundaries of the island. Where does it stand today? Has it become just another document?
The country can generate a lot of income from these plants. We are actually training the people to become self employed. We need to promote income generation.

Home»Software»Web Browsers»Download Microsoft Edge Chromium Browser for Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7, macOS, iOS & Android
Microsoft Edge that comes with Windows 10 is undergoing complete revamp. While still named as Microsoft Edge, the internal core of the browser is now based on open source Chromium browser engine, which also powers the popular Google Chrome.
After failing with Internet Explorer, Microsoft tried another shot with original self developed EdgeHTML-based Edge web browser, aka Microsoft Edge legacy, with the release of Windows 10. However, the effort flopped, too. Then, Microsoft began from scratch and switched to Chromium as the base for its new browser, and the new Microsoft Edge has a great chance to be as successful as Google Chrome.
Microsoft officially released the stable version of new Microsoft Edge, also known as Microsoft Edge Chromium to avoid confusion with Microsoft Edge legacy, in January 2020, with the release of Edge version 79. The new Microsoft Edge supports Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, macOS, and also available for iOS and Android mobile devices.
According to Microsoft, new Microsoft Edge provides world-class performance with more privacy, more productivity, and more value. You can expert all if not most of the goodies of Google Chrome such as extensions and themes, plus the optimization that Microsoft can do to Edge for Windows 10. It also comes with built-in features such as Collections, Smart Copy, 4K Ultra HD, Picture in Picture video, tracking protection, Vertical Tabs, IE compatibility mode, and more.
In Windows 10, downloading and installing the new Edge Chromium will replace the old Edge legacy. In fact, Microsoft plans to roll out the new Edge through Windows Update to all Windows 10 systems, and some Windows 10 PCs running Windows 10 May 2020 Update v.2004 have started to receive the "Update KB4559309 for Windows 10 Version 2004", which installing the Microsoft Edge Update.
If your system hasn't received the push from Windows Update to install Chromium-based Edge, or if you're running Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, macOS, iOS or Android, or running Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 education, all of which won't automatically getting the browser, you can download and install Edge directly from its official site – https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge. It's free.
Do note that if you install the new Microsoft Edge through Windows Update, you cannot uninstall it.
If you want to be the first to experience new features coming in Edge, Microsoft offers Edge Insider where you can sign up to receive the various development channels of Edge. Among them, Beta Channel which delivers major update every 6 weeks, Dev Channel which updates weekly and Canary Channels which updates daily.

In his word, Atiku said the visit was opportunity to get some insight and think solutions to the perennial security problems in Jos.
"The visit to the palace of Gbong Gwom Jos was opportunity to get some insight and think solutions to the perennial security problems in Jos. Our interaction with stakeholders of the PDP in the state gives us assurance of their support to our mission to get Nigeria working again," he said.


After a cold wet walk and pub tea, with the girls tucked up in bed I spent yesterday evening on the sofa licking a wooden spoon covered in brownie mixture! The reward after a baking session( especially as it is wasn't me who did the baking!) thinking about how lovely my home is, and how it feels. As it rained outside I thought about how my home is too soaked in words, those spoken and unspoken.
Home is important. It is where all the important stuff happens in my life. I want to create a home that is a safe haven, a dream space, a place of freedom, honesty and inspiration. All over our house there are words. Not just the words we speak but the written word on the walls of our home. Saturating the spaces we live in, in truth. Words affect our environment. Our spoken words change other peoples lives sometimes for the better, sometimes not. The words we read affect our own hearts and minds sometimes for the better and sometimes not so much. I want to soak our home in words of truth and love so that even in the silence good words are being poured into the rooms of our lives. Even while we are away for the weekend there are banners over the doorways declaring the promises. Even in the arguments and the tears love is present.

Our obsession with mega projects is not good for South Africa
The R30 billion "new city" near Pretoria raises red flags
7 October 2020 | By Adi Kumar Opinion | South Africa
President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced a "new town" of 51,000 apartments to be built east of Pretoria. Archive photo: Ashraf Hendricks
The R30 billion Mooikloof housing project launched by President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier this month raises red flags for the future of housing.
The project, at Mooikloof east of Pretoria, aims to able build "housing at scale" with 50,000 apartments, priced at between R495,000 and R799,000, and targeted at state employees. It will create about 41,000 jobs and add an estimated R75 billion in turnover to the economy. While this is undoubtedly impressive, it raises several concerns.
On one hand, developing new cities or towns on vacant land seems appealing. The cost of installing services is substantial, but there is less public contestation and such developments can theoretically provide housing at scale.
However, developments such as Century City in Cape Town, and Tongaat in eThekwini have shown how the new towns have become increasingly exclusive and unaffordable for poor people or even the middle class.
The alternative is to densify our cities and ensure that poor and vulnerable people are living close to current economic centres and are not burdened with high costs of transport and distant amenities. This can be costlier, but in the long term has significant benefits both for citizens and for the integration of South African cities.
Which brings me to the next point: what are the highest priorities for housing? We have an estimated 2,700-3,000 informal settlements and thousands of people living in poorly constructed backyard structures. It is unlikely that many of them will be able to afford or purchase apartments in the Mooikloof scheme. Dealing with the housing mess in South Africa, doesn't require any mega projects. It requires political commitments to make the hard choices - aligning political will for informal settlement upgrades across party lines, making resources and technical capacity available, and reforming some of the key impediments to delivery. To build a new future we need to fix the foundations, and not just change the façade. The other critical priorities to be considered are in relation to public transport and climate change. Investing in robust public transport for metros and secondary cities could signal a change in development patterns and in our dependence on private vehicles.
The Mooikloof development assumes that ownership models are the best solution for South Africa and its poorer citizens. Public rental stock and social housing are not part of the mix. This is alarming. Global trends have demonstrated that well supported public rental and social housing models are critical to protect affordability for families over the long term. It is short-sighted to view the "home" as an economic asset whose success is measured by "return on investments". This will recreate our current patterns of development, where collective body corporates will have to manage long term operations. This model is precarious, as the income diversity of the ultimate homeowners is significant. Such mega-developments should rather allow for different forms of tenure, including rental and social housing.
Infrastructure investment of this magnitude has historically been used to rebuild cities and in turn, revive the economy, after the world wars for instance. But South African history demands that some of the historical projects be revived. For instance, in District Six, several hundred land claims are still awaiting development.
This links to another point: it is common in government contracts that a certain percentage (often 30%) of construction is given to small upcoming emerging contractors, but the main contract is always awarded to large construction companies, which often use these emerging contractors as labour brokers. This often means that the smaller companies do not grow and may even collapse once the project is completed. If we are serious about a significantly different economic structure, we have to rethink the entire procurement model for such developments. We should prioritise small contractors, with necessary support mechanisms for growth, rather than just focus on large scale investment and returns.
In the Mooikloof project, the core instrument is the public-private partnership, where private sector resources will get incentives from government investment in infrastructure. The central role for the private sector in the delivery of housing is indisputable, but it is critical that the significant public investments in infrastructure are accompanied by clear guidelines and margins for the private sector. If the development goes ahead as planned, and everything is implemented exactly as imagined, it is likely that land values will skyrocket by the time the final unit is completed. Property values in neighbourhoods like Century City and Tongaat have climbed up to 200% between the first set of developments and the more recent developments. This puts the entire project at significant risk of falling in the property market trap, where the same development becomes unaffordable due to rapidly escalating serviced land prices. This can only be resolved by clear guidelines and policy parameters for managing land price escalations and, as mentioned earlier, by a mix of tenure, including public rental housing.
Lastly, the development of such mega projects has not been our strength. From the Joe Slovo project to thousands of other housing projects, very few developments have reached the intended scale. Often these projects spend large budgets on technical studies, feasibility analyses, and engineering drawings, but eventually only a fraction of the development is implemented. And, even if the development does come to fruition, if it requires this degree of vigour and energy, then why not get behind the hundreds of housing and informal settlement upgrading projects that are at a standstill?
It is now our responsibility to scrutinise how our shrinking resources are invested and for what purpose.

Pretorians protest against loadshedding and tariff hike


I had the joy of running the Big Sur International Marathon this year. Running experts say this course is one of the most beautiful marathon courses in the world. I chose to run Big Sur because the race fell on my 49th birthday and several of my friends decided to run it with me. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend the day than doing what I love with people I love.
When you read reviews on this race, the course is described as "brutal and breathtaking." The day we ran it, it was definitely both. The brutal hills, including a two mile climb to Hurricane Point and some short, steep hills in the final miles of the race through Carmel Highlands, were no surprise. The 20 to 45 mile per hour head winds we encountered on race day were.
When I was training for this race, my strategy was to take my time, enjoy the scenery, not worry about achieving a PR (personal record), and pace myself to make sure I finished in well under the six hour maximum finishing time. Since I had run the Flying Pig, a hilly course, in under four and a half hours the year before, I felt this was an achievable plan. However, people I know who have run Big Sur and Boston have said they felt Big Sur was a tougher course. With that knowledge, I knew that I would need a strong strategy to achieve my goal.
As a public relations professional, I'm all about strategy. I truly believe the slogan "The best surprise is no surprise." Because of that, my friend and I drove the course so we'd know what to expect on race day. Sure, you can look at the course description, elevation map and race reviews. However, driving the course gives you a much better perspective and lets you make any last minute adjustments to your race strategy.
The day before the race, Runner's World magazine hosted a strategy session for all of us who were running Big Sur as part of the Runner's World Challenge. During the strategy session one of the Big Sur board members who had run the race every year since its inception told us that a front was coming in that could impact race conditions. He said if it moved through quickly we wouldn't have windy conditions on race day. If it didn't move through quickly, we would have high winds. He told us a good gauge was to look at the grass when we got out of the woods around mile 5. If the grass wasn't blowing hard or pinned down, we would probably not have an extremely windy race.
On race day, we exited the woods and looked at the grass. It looked pretty calm. We all thought the race wouldn't be windy. We were wrong. By mile 7, the wind picked up. I've run in high winds before, but nothing like this. There were times you felt like you were running in place or being pushed backwards because the head winds were so strong. Fighting the wind would be a losing battle, so I slowed my pace when the wind got bad to conserve energy and picked up my pace when the winds died down. This strategy paid off.
As we started up the hill to Hurricane Point, the Taiko Drummers were there to energize us for the two mile climb. The beat of their drums made me pick up my pace because the winds had died down a bit, and I was ready to attack the climb. As we were climbing the hill, we could hear the sound of the grand piano playing, another unique aspect of this course. You'd lose the sound of the piano from time to time during the ascent, but when you crested Hurricane Point and headed downhill, you could hear the music clearly. The pianist's music filled our hearts and souls. Several of us, including me, were moved to tears. We crossed the beautiful Bixby Bridge. The scenery from the bridge is astounding. Between the scenery and the piano, mile 13 was one of the highlights of the course and a great way to mark the halfway point of the journey.
By mile 20 I had only been running three hours and fifty minutes. I knew I had plenty of time to finish the race, so I slowed my pace down to take in some of the most beautiful parts of the course. One spot was so spectacular; I stopped for a minute to stare at the beauty. The waves were crashing on the rocks and beach, the sun was shining on the ocean and you could hear and feel the wind blowing. It was amazing.
My pacing strategy also meant that I wasn't feeling pressured to kick it into high gear when I hit the Carmel Highlands at mile 22. This worked out well. The road camber, which we were not aware of, was brutal on this course. Your body was rarely ever running on a flat surface. Between that and the wind, I felt a bit beat up by the time I got to the Highlands, but I had plenty of time to finish, so there was no rush. At mile 23 we were told to be sure to take a handful of fresh strawberries at the aid station. This is another one of the unique aspects of this course. Since I had plenty of time, I stopped and enjoyed the berries while I thanked the volunteers for taking the time to cut the tops off for us. At about mile 25 we were told to breath deep to smell the eucalyptus in the air. I've never smelled anything like that. It was so fresh and clean. It was truly breathtaking. That breath of fresh air gave me all the energy I needed to pick up my pace and sprint for the finish.
At the finish line I was given the ultimate birthday gift…a Big Sur International Marathon finisher's medal. It was my reward for a job well done and a race wisely run.
While there are certainly times when speed to market is the top priority, many times it's not. The key is to know the difference. Many great ideas stumble along the course or fail because people are in a rush to get to market, but fail to take the time to map out a strategy to ensure the ultimate goal is achieved.
Life is no different. When we rush through it, we often miss those special moments that take our breath away, move us to tears and fill our heart and soul with joy.
So the next time you find yourself in a hurry at work or in your personal life, stop for just a moment and really think about whether speed or strategy is the best course.
One of the things I stress with my clients is the importance of keeping a food and exercise log. There are several reasons for this. First, statistics show that people who keep a food and exercise diary are much more successful in achieving their weight loss and health goals than those who don't. Second, it can be fun to see your progress and the best way to measure that is by keeping a log. Last, it's a great tool for me, as a trainer, to be able to give clients input on things they can do to improve their diet, exercise performance, etc.
To help my clients with this process, I have them use a tracking program. One of the components of this program is that it emails me their log each week. This way, I can see exactly what they ate, what exercise they did and monitor their progress and make suggestions.
One of my clients started running in the last year or so. He has been running 5k races and doing very well, but now he wants to move up to longer distances. When he hired me, we talked about his training goals. He had two: increase endurance and lose the last 10 pounds he hasn't been able to drop since he started running.
As someone who has been an endurance athlete for more than five years, I told my client that his nutrition would be the key driver in meeting his goals. It's the old saying, garbage in, garbage out. We talked about how and what he ate and how he could improve his nutrition with some simple changes. Keep in mind he's married with kids, so I suggested he might want to consider eating different things than his wife and kids.
I get his report the first week with him using the tracking program. He is following the training program I designed for him exactly. I'm very pleased. Then I take a look at his food log. I see what he ate, the amount of saturated fat, sugar, cholesterol and sodium. It's way too high, especially for achieving his two goals. His fiber is also lower than it should be. I email him that I'm really pleased and proud of how well he's following the exercise component of the training plan, but I had some suggestions regarding his nutrition. I explained the areas he needed to reduce and why and that he also needed to increase his fiber intake. One of the areas I explained he could fix easily was breakfast. He was eating a frosted cereal with vanilla almond milk. I recommended he eat a whole grain cereal, such as oatmeal or shredded wheat with skim milk and some egg whites. I told him I eat a bowl of plain oatmeal and 5-6 egg whites every morning for breakfast because it's a lean breakfast that gives me healthy fuel to start my day.
Me: "So what's your point," I say laughing. I then go on to tell him that I will give him the same response I give my public relations clients and that is that you pay me to give you the best possible advice. However, it's entirely up to you whether you take it or not.
My client laughs too, but goes on to say he is really not interested in being as diligent with his nutrition as I am. I tell him that I understand that his nutrition is up to him. But I'm still going to continue to give him the best advice possible regarding his diet and exercise. What he does with that advice is his decision.
The next week, I see his diary…it's about the same; however I see some small changes that I'm pleased with. This time my email is a bit gentler in light of our conversation the previous week. Again, I tell him how happy I am with his training workouts and that my comments about his nutrition haven't changed much from the prior week. I encouraged him to continue to make small, positive changes such as the ones we talked about and ones his log shows he made since we spoke the previous week. I closed by saying the most important thing is for him to be cognizant of the amount of saturated fat, cholesterol, sugar and sodium he's consuming and realize those choices have an impact on his goals.
Moments after I hit send, the phone rings. It's my client. But this time, he's telling me he's really looking at the packages more, realizing that this one product he really likes and thought was a good choice, really isn't because while it's marketed as a low calorie ice cream dessert, it has a significant amount of fat in it and almost of all that fat is saturated fat! While he cannot see my face, I'm fairly sure he can hear that I'm smiling by the tone of my voice. I tell him that being aware of what you're eating is half the battle. Making better choices is the other half.
In the months following these conversations, his awareness about what he eats and the food choices he's making continue to improve. He's on his way to a successful journey into better nutrition and achieving his goals. And I'm proud and honored to be with him on this journey.
Change is a choice when it comes to your health.
Here are actual stories of people I know.
Last year, one of my closest friends was diagnosed with breast cancer. There is no history of cancer in her family. So, once we got over the shock, we all went into information gathering mode. We gave her books, names of the best doctors and a list of a variety of other resources.
One of her coworkers, who is a breast cancer survivor, gave her a book that is considered to be one of the best and most complete on the subject. My friend read the book cover to cover and called me to say, "I need to make some serious changes, and I need your help.
One of the key things the book talked about was the importance of healthy eating and drinking habits. It talked about research that says certain bad eating and drinking habits may increase your chances of getting cancer and that a healthy diet may help prevent certain types of cancer and help prevent it from coming back once you've had it. So we set out together to change her nutrition for the better.
On her own, she immediately said, I have had my last soda and alcoholic beverage of any kind. She was not a heavy drinker to begin with, but she was committed to give that up. She has stuck to her commitment, and I know she will continue to do so. She also committed to being more diligent about drinking more water each day. So, she had the beverage battle under control.
Now it was time for us to work on the nutrition battle. She is an executive with a large company. She works long hours. Her husband owns a business and works long hours too. They often go out to eat because they're tired when they get home and she doesn't feel like cooking.
To be successful, I knew it would come down to choices. So, we talked about what types of things she should order when they go out to dinner, how to order them, etc. We also talked about what types of foods she traditionally cooks, which ones are healthy choices and which ones are not. We talked about the types of foods she keeps on hand and how to upgrade those foods to healthier options such as brown rice instead of white rice, wheat pasta instead of regular pasta, having more fresh fruits and vegetables and buying leaner proteins. She did all these things.
Next, her doctor told her due to the type of cancer she had, she would need to exercise every day for the rest of her life. She dusted off the treadmill they'd had for years and began using it every day.
The outcome is that she has lost 51 pounds in about nine months and plans to lose about 25 more pounds in the months to come. She looks great. She feels great. And the reason for that is she made the choice to live a healthy life in order to save her life. I'm so proud of her. But I have to say, I'm not surprised. When she puts her mind to something, she achieves it and this lifestyle change is no different.
On the other hand, I know someone whose husband just had his fourth heart attack and fourth surgical procedure. His doctors have been saying for years that he needs to drop a significant amount of weight because he is morbidly obese. The doctors have told him he needs to improve his diet and get some exercise. He hasn't heeded the warnings from his doctors or the heart attacks.
Then there are some acquaintances that have Type 2 diabetes. One is a couple the other is a widow. The doctor told the couple they needed to improve their diet and get some exercise. They weren't interested in that. Today, they're on insulin. The widow joined Weight Watchers but wasn't really sticking to the program. Because of that, she wasn't losing much weight. So, she decided to have surgery to try to help her eat less. There was a complication with the procedure and she was miserable for several weeks. Her weight loss since the surgery has been about a pound a week…safe weight loss, but not any different than what she could have done if she was willing to modify her diet and improve her exercise. She is also still insulin dependent, even after the surgery.
Studies show that making healthy lifestyle changes such as improving your diet and getting more exercise can reduce or prevent heart disease and can prevent or reverse Type 2 diabetes.
I'm always stunned by people like this. I cannot understand why they won't make simple, safe, inexpensive changes to improve their health, increase their longevity and take steps to insure they're around for the ones they love for many years to come.
What it comes down to is choice and willingness to change. Nobody can make the choice for you and nobody can force you to change. You have to choose to change your life and improve your health. If and when you're ready to do that, I'm here to help you.
Fitness is like getting a promotion at work. You really have to want it and work hard for it.
So, when I started Abel Fitness Training, I sent letters to all of those neighbors letting them know that I was a certified Personal Fitness Trainer and Sports Nutrition Specialist, and would be honored and happy to help them in their quest for better health and fitness. All they had to do was call or email me.
Not a single person contacted me. And I have to admit, I wasn't surprised. I know they got the letter, because many of them congratulated me on my new business as they saw me running in the neighborhood. But none of them said anything about wanting to really do what they had been talking to me about for years.
The sad part of this story is two-fold. It's sad to me that these people who I care a great deal about really don't want to be fit or put in the work that is required to regain their health. The sadder part is I see these people with their children and grandchildren in their front yards, unable to run and play with them because they are obese. They sit on the sidelines watching instead of being an active participant. They are missing out on so much and will never be able to get that time or those moments back. It truly breaks my heart.
So what does this story have to do with business? The answer is a whole lot!
One of the first rules of business is that if you want something, such as a promotion, a raise, etc. you are going to have to earn it by working very hard for it. If we want our employees to be more proactive about their health, we are going to have to encourage them to work hard for it. Another rule of business is that apathy costs companies money…employees' apathy about their health is costing American companies more than $73 billion dollars a year. This figure is due to a number of things including lower productivity, higher absenteeism and higher healthcare claims.
The bottom line is that unhealthy workers are impacting corporate America's bottom lines. We need to encourage and empower our workforces to be proactive about their health and wellness…not just so companies can be more productive and profitable, but so people can stop missing out on so many wonderful things life has to offer that they cannot partake in if their lack of fitness is holding them back.
Being healthy and staying healthy is a lifestyle for me. I find it rewarding to help companies and individuals reclaim their health and get fit. My friends and clients say my passion for fitness and healthy living is contagious. I encourage you to contact me, so you and your employees can catch what I have. You won't regret it!

"BACK HOME" is the name of a booklet published by an important advertising agency. Such things help us to set a marker to show how far we as a people have traveled in certain directions, and I'm sure it is a comfort to all of us to know that in this case the direction is definitely toward home.
WE HAVE featured the Colonial period in our background by using a Colonial paper with painted woodwork, plain floor-covering, and figured draperies. In furniture we have chosen eighteenth-century mahogany because it is so livable and at present the most popular furniture.
THE first Thanksgiving feast staged by the Plymouth Pilgrims was a potluck affair, I mused, so why not ours this year? It would be easier on our whole household, upon which falls each year the responsibility of gathering in the kin-folk within driving distance to celebrate Thanksgiving.
THE attractive proportions and simplicity of line of this typically American home give it charm and distinction that appeal to most of us. This distinction is achieved in many ways, for while in its general shape it follows the traditional lines of the Colonial period, there are many refreshing details employed in its exterior treatment to make it far removed from the commonplace boxlike houses which, for want of a better name, are loosely called Colonial.
YOUR mother-in-law, Tim's college pals, and the girls in your bridge club must all be sent something special in the way of a holiday greeting. Why not impress them by dispatching a card that shows your own handiwork-- a message of Christmas cheer that sets you, the sender, apart as a person of originality and taste?
SLEEPY SUE is the most cuddly and easily made dolly! Stamped white outing flannel, floss and ribbons for Sue, and instructions only for making her enameled spool bed and the dainty bed linens are all No. 810, price 25 cents.
"WHAT kind of electric washing-machine shall I buy?" asked a young bride friend of mine. She was just on the point of going out to stock up her laundry. Would I help her? Of course I would!
EVERY month in the year some begonia in my windows opens its blossoms. The cheerful little Semperflorens blooms constantly, as the name indicates, and may be had in many colors.
WHAT shall we do with the house?" This was the question that confronted the new owner of the property that included this cottage.
OF COURSE you look at the pictures first, so it is an act of kindness to tell you about them quickly. Over in the right-hand corner is a particularly satisfying small pool, built by Freeman L. Hess, Chicago, in the rear yard of his home. The weather-beaten, mossy rocks came from the Wisconsin Dells, and Mr. Hess was wise enough to place them in conformity with the characteristic strata or that region.
EXACTLY which books shall I buy for my child? Where can I get them? How much will they cost?"
1. THE GARAGE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE is one of the most nearly ideal arrangements for the small lot. This concentrates all the buildings in one group. The great disadvantage is that fire-insurance rates are higher, altho, if a fireproof wall is used between the house and the garage, the rate is lessened. One of the many advantages is that less material is used.
NOVEMBER 2. The boys and I planted the quince bush we bought last Friday. Then the box of new peonies I had sent for arrived and I went to work.
WHAT fun it will be for our Junior Gardeners to plan a Garden Harvest Dinner Party! Then let's plan to invite the boys and girls right away and go ahead with it.
INTERESTING secrets of the woodland will be revealed to you if you have a seeing eye and an understanding heart, and if you will follow an autumn trail. You will see how beautifully the leaves grow old. Full of life and color, they seem to give back the light of the summer sun.
DID you know that it was a woman, Sarah Josepha Hale, who is really responsible for Thanksgiving as we know it today? She was the editor of Godey's Lady's Book, and for years she campaigned for a national observance of the day. Not until Abraham Lincoln became president did she win her campaign.
IF YOU are not already familiar with the really valuable and helpful information in Better Homes and Gardens' Service Leaflets, this month is a good time to begin using them.
DEAR Gardened-Home Friends: Several months ago I suggested that you take your pen in hand to tell me about your garden, but I never dreamed that so many of you would be good enough to write me such delightful letters; in fact, I have been kept busy for the last two months reading and answering them.

Installing photovoltaic (PV) solar panels cost around £12,000.
By signing up to the EU Renewable Energy Directive, the UK agreed to a target of producing 15 per cent of their energy from renewable sources by the year 2020. In order to meet this target, homes in the UK are going to have to start installing renewable energy sources and creating power from wind, water and the sun.
Solar panels are one of the most popular ways to produce clean, renewable energy. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are attached to the roof of your home and provide energy from sunlight.
The Daily Telegraph says that 'installing solar panels, which cover a space of around 10ft x 10ft on an average sized roof, will cost around £12,500'. However, whilst the installation costs of solar panels may be high, the savings they can make in terms of your energy bills can be significant over the longer term.
Indeed, the Government has launched a scheme called 'feed-in tariffs' where they will pay you for energy that you create from your solar PV panels. Once you have installed the solar panels, you sign up for a deal with your electricity supplier. The solar panels cannot provide a home's entire energy needs because they only work in daylight and the energy they generate cannot be stored. However, when they are generating electricity, any surplus goes straight into the national grid.
Many energy suppliers have begun to introduce schemes whereby they will pay the £12,000 that photovoltaic solar panels cost but will then take all the 'feed-in tariff' money. Although this may reduce your household energy bills, you won't benefit from being paid for the surplus energy that you generate as this money goes straight to your energy supplier.
So, it is likely to be more financially beneficial for you to finance the cost of installing solar PV panels (by using a home improvement loan, perhaps) and to sign up to the 'feed-in tariff' scheme yourself.

Q: Copying columns to a new list I currently have a list that is reaching 40k threshold, so i want to create a new list so it can break it up by area (Central, Midstate, Western). I am going to create few more lists and move the data over. Is there a way to copy over my columns into my new lists? This is all in one same sharepoint site.
The reason i ask this is because alot of my columns are lookups or numeric fields..

A: Make the list a template and don't include the data.  You can make new lists from this template and even add additional columns to the new lists without affecting the original.

My favorite souvenir is my bronze budda. It has 4 faces, sad, happy, angry, laughing! It sits on my desk.
I don't have special travel clothing, I just usually pack smart, in the sense that I bring pieces that I can dress up or down. Being the jewelry industry I stick with basics and dress everything up with accessories!
I have travelled to many places all over the world, but I would have to say my home Newfoundland, especially rural Newfoundland.
I am famous for having vacation in my own backyard.
Do your travels ever inspire the products you carry in your shop?
YES! Everywhere I go I always get inspired by nature and culture, which leads me to sketching my next jewelry design or finding a cool product to carry in Whink.

Tires wear, and longer you wait to repair or replace a tire, the worse they become – driving on worn or improperly repaired tires is dangerous!

Tom was very proactive in dealing with us the sellers and also our Solicitor. He was knowledgeable about the market giving us hints and tips to make the property more appealing to viewers. He was always polite and approachable making the whole experience less stressful.
We had multiple viewings of the property in quick succession so as to enable us to make a firm decision, Tom was very helpful and understanding about it. They also helped negotiate the date of completion well, as it was not straightforward. In the end, we had an excellent outcome, and all went smoothly.
