2. Clark made a motion (2nd by Rob) to approve the January Minutes. Vote Passed.
3. Clark made a motion (2nd by Rob) to approve the Treasury Report. Vote Passed.
I. A brief summarization of the training session presented by Gina N. Dennis (District 6 Coalition President) was given by Omar.
a. Moving monthly meeting locations around the neighborhood. This may be an alternative to the continuous use of the Manzano del Sol room and may be a way to involve more residents to get involved. Added to next month's agenda.
b. Providing food at meetings. Considerations regarding time of the meeting, current number of attendees, and cost were discussed. For now, no meals will be provided. However, in the future, if the board feels it is an incentive to draw members, it may be implemented.
c. Moving the meeting to every-other-month schedule. It was determined that there is currently too much business to conduct for this to happen.
II. Review of the James' fencing issue. From an email by Gary Eyster, although HBANA disapproved of the construction based upon its violation of the IDO guidelines and the fact that Ms. James never supplied HBANA with supporting documentation related to neighbor opinions, the C/ABQ planning department approved the construction. It was noted that a final inspection by the C/ABQ would occur: unknown date. Barb will contact Gary regarding this inspection and the potential next step. Added to next month's agenda.
I. Craft Distillery construction request by Nick Pavlakos to be built on 5001 Central Avenue, which was previously approved by HBANA. Discussion related to a change in the application that now included language describing an "open package liquor license" and a "patio" area. After a discussion of these changes Don made a motion (2nd by Rob-voted and passed) that further information regarding this establishment and the law needed to be obtained for HABANA to approve this new license request. Barb will contact Nick (owner) to clarify the intents of his establishment and Steven Chavez C/ABQ liquor hearing officer to clarify the law. As the hearing is scheduled for 2/22/19 at 9:00AM, Barb will gather the information, determine if Nicks' establishment will comply with the boards wishes, and present the approval/disapproval at the hearing. Added to next month's agenda.
II. Search for an active secretary. Tabled at this time- Added to next month's agenda.
III. Defining/clarifying what the approval of a neighborhood association for projects such as, fencing/distillery/etc, really means and how much weight it carries in C/ABQ planning hearings. Omar will contact Delaina of the ONC for guidance regarding this issue. Added to next month's agenda.

Blog - FinTech - FinTech News - GoHenry Introduces "Money Missions" Encouraging Financial Education
GoHenry Introduces "Money Missions" Encouraging Financial Education
by Jonathan Dyer Oct 18, 2021
After raising $40 million late last year and expanding into the United States, the kid-centric FinTech app GoHenry has now added a significant feature to its platform. This week, the app announced the debut of Money Missions.
With Money Missions, children can learn about various personal finance topics while earning points and leveling up as they complete lessons. Among the categories covered are money basics, earning, saving, investing, responsible spending, credit, money safety, and more. These lessons incorporate animated videos and other elements, with kids then taking quizzes on what they've learned in order to obtain badges. According to GoHenry, the Money Missions curriculum was developed in partnership with teachers and financial experts in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Additionally, these lessons meet K-12 personal finance education national standards.
As GoHenry notes, recent research from the University of Cambridge shows that children form money attitudes and habits by the time their seven. Elsewhere, 87% of teens report having trouble making spending decisions. Thus, the app's Money Missions are tailored to the child's age and also adjust to the student's skill and confidence levels.
Announcing the debut of Money Missions, GoHenry CEO Alex Zivoder said in a statement, "We've always had a simple mission which is to help kids be smart with money. With 60 million kids and teens in the U.S. and U.K. alone that have not been adequately served with financial education, Money Missions is one of the ways we are bridging this gap with a hands-on app experience to turn financial education into a motivating, fun, and rewarding way for kids to build confidence with money." Zivoder went on to note of the feature, "It's a really strong complement to our innovative debit card, banking, and payment functionality. With Money Missions, GoHenry will continue to be the place kids and teens learn the foundational blocks of personal finance and gain real-world money skills necessary for their future."
GoHenry's expansion and success come as other FinTechs have also aimed to help the next generation become more financially literate. For example, apps like Current and Revolut each have kid or teen-focused banking account options. Elsewhere, the app Zogo has partnered with various institutions to offer financial curriculum in a gamified fashion somewhat akin to Money Missions.
Overall, GoHenry's Money Missions sound like a great addition to the growing app. Considering that the service is meant to give kids and teens hands-on experience with their money, expanding their offering to include additional financial lessons makes perfect sense. On that note, with more FinTechs embracing similar ideas, hopefully we'll see future generations become more financially savvy at a younger age than their elders.

Prevalence of risk factors for fractures and use of DXA scanning in Danish women. A regional population-based study
Rubin, K.; Abrahamsen, B.; Hermann, A.; Bech, M.; Gram, J.; Brixen, K.
Osteoporosis International;May2011, Vol. 22 Issue 5, p1401
Summary: To determine the relationship between risk factors and use of DXA scans. Our study showed a relatively high use of DXA in low-risk women and the relatively low coverage in women with multiple risk factors. Moreover, distance to DXA clinics, age, and socio-economic factors are associated with the use of DXA. Introduction: To determine the relationship between risk factors for fracture and use of DXA scans in Danish women in relation to distance to DXA clinics and socio-economic factors. Methods: From the Danish National Civil Register we randomly selected 5,000 women aged 40-90 years living in the region of Southern Denmark to receive a mailed questionnaire concerning risk factors for fractures. Results: The respondents rate was 84% and 77% of the invited population were available for analysis. A total of 10.3% of the women without risk factors and only 36% of the women with three or more risk factors had a history of DXA. The likelihood of a history of DXA was higher with increasing FRAX(â"¢) 10-year risk; i.e., 8.7% and 30.2% in patients with a 10-year fracture risk of 0-14.9% and 25-100%, respectively. In women with less than 10 km to nearest DXA facility, 20.2% had a history of DXA, while 11.5% of those with more than 40 km to the nearest scanner had a history of DXA. Logistic regression analysis showed that distance, fracture risk, oral glucocorticoids, low-energy fracture, conditions associated with secondary osteoporosis, low BMI, history of falls, age 65-79 years, spouse status, and income were significantly associated with having a history of DXA. Conclusions: Our study showed a relatively high use of DXA in low-risk women and the relatively low coverage in women with multiple risk factors. Moreover, distance to DXA clinics, age, and a number of socio-economic factors are associated with the use of DXA.

Q: Subtracting a set from a set of set Let say that I have a set of set X = { {a,b}, {a,c}}  and I want to remove the element {a,b} from X. What is the proper way to write this subtraction operation.
X \ {a,b}
or
X \ {{a,b}}
I think that the first one is incorrect and that I should use the second one.  Is this correct? Or is there other way to write this?

A: Yes, that is right. It doesn't matter that the elements are sets -- if you want to remove the element $E$ from set $X$, you write $X\setminus\{E\}$, and if $E$ itself happens to be a set written with braces you get two pairs of braces.
One nitpick: $\{a,b\}$ is not a subset of $X$ (say, because $X$ does not have $a$ as an element) -- it is an element of $X$.

A: The second one is correct.
Note that $\{a,b\}$ is not a subset of $S = \{\{a,b\},\{a,c\}\}$, but rather an element of $S$.
The set difference operator ($A\setminus B$) is defined between two sets, not a set and an element thereof.  Thus, you want to use $\{\{a,b\},\{a,c\}\} \setminus \{\{a,b\}\}$.

Russia and Israel Secret to Dealing With Iran?
When Iran's President Hassan Rouhani ominously warned the U.S. this week that "war with Iran is the mother of all wars and peace with Iran is the mother of all peace," he opened himself to the warning from President Trump of "CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE."
But Rouhani's statement also held out a sliver of a possibility that while Iran may not be amenable to that "mother of all peace," it just might be susceptible to cooling off tensions with the U.S. And if that happens, Donald Trump's unflinching response to Iran will have been the key to the de-escalation. Just as Mr. Trump's warning to North Korea's Kim Jung Un that threats against the U.S. would be met with "fire and fury" may have finally convinced Kim to talk rather than fight with the U.S., Trump's standing up to Rouhani may have gotten the Iranian leader's attention too.
Who would have thought a year ago that North Korea would be showing even a glimmer of receptivity to giving up its nukes in exchange for a peaceful co-existence with its neighbors and the U.S.? If, as has been reported, North Korea is in fact now dismantling portions of its offensive satellite production capacity to accommodate U.S. demands that it begin to "denuclearize," that's a powerful sign to Iran that it really is better to make peace than war with the U.S.
With more U.S. sanctions to come — particularly on Iran's major revenue-producing oil exports — the pressure on Iranian leaders will increase greatly. As it does, the U.S. may be able to enlist a partner in the effort to de-escalate our confrontation with Iran. That potential partner is Russia, which has a long- standing relationship with Iran. While President Trump has taken much grief for trying to improve U.S. relations with Russia, his overtures to Russian President Putin could open the door to a collaboration in the Iranian crisis and the broader Middle East conflict.
Russia and the U.S. have had productive if shaky collaborations before in the region, most notably in Syria, with U.S. and Russian forces coordinating ferocious attacks on the remnants of ISIS. Where the U.S. has differed with Russia is on the question of continuing the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. But that issue is now essentially settled. Assad will likely be staying in power for the foreseeable future, as his years-long war against an insurgency appears to be winding down in his favor.
So for Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to validate their claim they want our nations to cooperate rather than confront one another where possible, they should begin by connecting the dots on the Iranian-Syrian situation. A solution could go something like this: the U.S. recognizes that the Syrian civil war is over, concentrating its effort on humanitarian aid to Syrian refugees and pushing Iranian forces out of Syria. Russia in turn accepts its responsibility to dampen the turmoil in Syria now that its Syrian government ally has prevailed, and uses its considerable military and diplomatic advantage in Syria to also help get Iran out of Syria.
The other dot that connects to this puzzle is Israel, with which both the U.S. and Russia have strong relations. Yes, Russia too is more ally than foe of Israel, and has promised to defend Israel against any Iranian attack. Why? Russian speaking Jews who immigrated to Israel from Russia make up its largest ethnic population. Out of 8.8 million Israelis, 1.5 million have Russian roots, so many that President Putin has said "Israel is, in fact, a special state to us." He and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu have a strong personal relationship. And Russia is Israel's largest oil supplier, which further cements their strategic relationship.
Iran today is a nation that, like North Korea, is reeling under internal economic turmoil and the pressure of U.S. sanctions.

Ever since I got this bad boy for Christmas, I've been serging anything standing still.
So while I was working on some pillowcases last night, I started in on some long strips of scraps. I'm so glad I did...I discovered a fun alternative to ribbon to dress things up.
Man I love my serger! Have you tried making a rolled hem yet?
Simply adorable...such a great touch. I can't wait to start sewing...my class was cancelled AGAIN yesterday. I'm about to just whip it out and try to teach myself! I love the towels/napkins too!
Ohhh, that's COOL!! I'm thinking this is a good idea for all the fabric remnants that I inherit but don't have a good project in mind for. Strip em, serge em, and wrap em around presents!
That is really cool! What a fun look.
man, i wish I could sew! that is so pretty!
What a great idea! I am thinking this would be great on Christmas presents too!!

Q: What's the common practice to invoke a JSON call in PHP? I'm trying to make a JSON call library. It has the following features.

*

*be able to customize the header

*be able to POST any data to server(including form-encoding (a=1&b=2&c=3) and JSON data chunk)

*parse the response and return as a JSON object

I searched in other questions and found that there are only two answers.

*

*use file_get_contents().  This way is pretty simple and easy to use; however, you cannot do anything more than get the content -- you cannot add headers, cannot use POST. But it is usually supported by all servers.

*use curl. This way seems powerful and you can do nearly everything with it.  The disadvantage is that you have to install libcurl and php-curl support on your server, which means you may not use it on servers that have no curl installed.

So, if I want to develop a common library that can be used on most server, is curl a good choice?
Is there any other ways to do this?

In a short word, I'm looking for a PHP version of urllib2 in python - easy to use, powerful, and reliable.

A: You have two options: curl and HTTP stream context options. Both can accomplish what you have described; curl might not be installed everywhere, while stream contexts are a core feature and are always available.
Actually, you can also implement your library using sockets, which would be more work but will probably allow you greater control if you need to do weirder things with your requests.

A: As i know, curl is included in mostly on many server, since it supported from 4.0.2 PHP version natively.
Also there is a native php function header, which customizes your response's headers by simply using like this -> header('location: index.php'), header('cache-control: ok') and so on. You can view Network Functions section on php.net

Rian Johnson teases Maz Kanata's return in Star Wars: Episode 8 with new photo
By Amon Warmann published 5 April 16
Last month, Daisy Ridley noted that Star Wars: Episode 8 director Rian Johnson might be a "little bit cheekier" when it comes to sharing information on the highly anticipated film, and it looks like that theory was spot on. Johnson had previously posted a behind-the-scenes photo of cinematographer Steve Yedlin, but his latest tease features a face which is a little more familiar - Maz Kanata. Check it out below...
http://rcjohnso.tumblr.com/post/142244762595
The image shows Lupita Nyong'o decked out in full motion capture gear on a soundstage, indicating that Chewbacca's girlfriend will indeed be back for Episode 8. I liked Maz in The Force Awakens, but she was severely underused and halfway through the movie she disappears. Here's hoping Johnson will utilise her a little better this time round.
Directed by Rian Johnson and starring Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Laura Dern, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong'o, Gwendoline Christie, and Benicio del Toro, Star Wars: Episode 8 opens on December 15, 2017.

AnnouncementsMLSA Receives Competitive Mary Byron Award
MLSA Receives Competitive Mary Byron Award
Helena- The Montana Legal Services Association (MLSA) recently received a competitive award from the Mary Byron Project for its innovative domestic violence prevention efforts. MLSA received a cash award of $10,000. The Mary Byron Project has made the prestigious Celebrating Solutions award annually for fourteen years.
MLSA's award was in recognition of the Survivor's Legal Project, which works to provide civil legal services free of charge to empower domestic violence survivors. Project attorneys help low income survivors obtain orders of protection, parenting plans, child support orders and other family law court orders distributing property and ensuring family security and stability. Research shows that the number one public service that reduces domestic abuse in the long term is women's access to legal assistance. MLSA utilizes innovative technology to expand the Project's reach to survivors in isolated and remote areas of Montana that otherwise could not be reached. MLSA's website, www.MontanaLawHelp.org provides information on a variety of legal issues relevant to survivors and includes informational articles, links to various resources and interactive court forms. To reach people without Internet access or who are fearful of using home computers, MLSA partners with the Montana Supreme Court to establish legal information kiosks in libraries, courthouses and other public places. Trained staff at these self-help kiosks help users find legal information. MLSA continues to incorporate new technological advances to enhance traditional forms of service delivery.
The Mary Byron Project, fostering innovations and strategies to end domestic violence, was established in memory of the young woman whose murder led to the creation of VINE, Victim Information and Notification Everyday. As a nationally recognized thought leader on domestic violence, the Mary Byron Project cultivates and supports efforts that extend beyond crisis management to attack the root causes of this epidemic and help build a safer and healthier society. Learn more at www.marybyronproject.org.
The Survivors Legal Project is just one way that MLSA provides equal justice to all Montanans. Civil legal aid from MLSA assures fairness for all in the justice system, regardless of how much money a person has, and helps Montanans protect their livelihoods, their health, and their families.

Lagos Wheelchair Access Travel
Lagos is the most populous in Nigeria and the most populous on the African continent. It is one of the fastest growing cities in the world and one of the most populous urban agglomerations. Lagos, the capital of Nigeria since its amalgamation in 1914, went on to become the capital of Lagos State after its creation. This unofficial figures put the population of "Greater Metropolitan Lagos", which includes Lagos and its surrounding metro area, extending as far as into Ogun State, at approximately 21 million. To the north, Lagos Island is home to the National Museum Lagos, displaying cultural artifacts and craftworks. Nearby is Freedom Park, once a colonial-era prison and now a major venue for concerts and public events. Lagos wheelchair access is poor by international first world standards.

Africa's all too preventable cholera crisis
By newsday
Southern and East African countries are facing a severe cholera outbreak that is exposing the failure in public sanitation and the impact of government neglect.
Last year, there were more than 109 442 cholera cases resulting in 1 708 deaths in 12 countries in the Eastern and Southern Africa Region (ESAR), according to the UN children's agency, Unicef.
Since the beginning of 2018, there have been more than 2 009 cases and a further 22 deaths in seven countries — Angola, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Somalia, Tanzania, and Zambia.
Zambia has been among the hardest hit, with the waterborne disease killing more than 74 people since October last year.
Cases have been centred on the capital, Lusaka. To contain the outbreak, the government banned street food vending and public gatherings, which triggered violent protests by traders.
The World Health Organisation says that while sporadic cases of cholera are regular occurrences in Zambia during the five-month rainy season, 2017 exceeded the average annual caseload.
The government and the WHO blame poor waste management and inadequate personal hygiene for the contamination of water and food in the townships, which has driven the epidemic.
The government's response has been to call in the army to help enforce control measures, clean markets, and unblock drains. It also launched an oral vaccine programme with a target of immunising one million people, and the number of cases is now beginning to fall.
Failing record
Zambia, as a lower middle-income economy, lies in the middle of a range of countries caught in the surge of cases in the region, from struggling Mozambique to relatively prosperous Kenya.
"In the last four weeks of 2017 alone, Zambia reported 217 new cases of cholera including 11 deaths, Tanzania 216 new cases including eight deaths, Mozambique 155 new cases, and Kenya 44 new cases," Unicef's regional Wash (water, sanitation and hygiene) adviser for Eastern and Southern Africa, Suzanne Coates, said.
But by far the worst-affected countries have been war-debilitated Somalia and South Sudan, with 72% and 16%, respectively, of the total cholera caseload.
Beyond the ESAR region, the Democratic Republic of Congo is experiencing the worst cholera outbreak since 1994, with 55 000 cases and 1 190 deaths reported in 24 out of 26 provinces last year, according to Médecins Sans Frontières.
Coates noted that while progress has been made on access to improved Wash services over the years, no country in the region managed to meet the 2015 Millennium Development Goal on water and sanitation — to halve the proportion of the population without access to sustainable water services and basic sanitation.
Latest WHO and Unicef estimates indicate that only 53% of ESAR citizens have access to basic water services; 30% to basic sanitation; just 20% to basic hygiene; and that 21% of people still practice open defecation.
"So, in the region, we still have more than 148 million people using unimproved drinking water sources, over 108 million still practising open defecation, and over 300 million with no handwashing facility," Coates said.
"Strategies to prevent and respond to cholera outbreaks are known and are effective and have helped [other] countries effectively control cholera outbreaks," she added.
Spending needed
Tackling the risk factors requires a developmental response and long-term investment. "Cholera outbreaks will unfortunately recur as long as these factors are not addressed," Coates said.
Zimbabwe's cash-strapped government has struggled to make those investments in sewerage infrastructure and water management systems, with cholera outbreaks becoming more frequent since the early 1990s when the economy first stalled.
Large outbreaks occurred in 1999 and 2002, with the deadliest between August 2008 and July 2009 — a cumulative total of 98 592 cases and 4 288 deaths.
Oxfam Zimbabwe Wash co-ordinator, Abigail Tevera, said poor inter-ministerial co-ordination and a lack of commitment to enforce existing regulations also derails efforts to prevent outbreaks.
Four people have so far died from cholera in Zimbabwe, with over 200 cases of typhoid — a similar waterborne disease — confirmed by January 16.
Portia Manangazira, the director of epidemiology and disease control in Zimbabwe's Health and Child Care ministry, acknowledged that the public health and sanitation situation in the country was "appalling", and the nation could do much better to stop "creating" avoidable health crises.
"There have also been no resources to identify high-risk groups and protect them with vaccination, the second layer of population protection when primary prevention has failed," Manangazira said. "For this reason, the threat of both cholera and typhoid forever looms."

Sri Lanka is looking forward to create an investor friendly environment with the focus on further opening up of the economy to attract foreign direct investment and provide equal facilities to foreign and local investors.
Through such initiative, it is expected that the inflows will witness an unprecedented increase with wide scale Investments from around the world. Even though there is an investment declining trend world-wide due to the global pandemic, the economies have now started showing signs of rejuvenation. In such situation, our government too has taken measures to meet the global challenges and international competitiveness effectively. Our investment policies, supported by investment growth strategies, provide comfort to prospective investors for continuation of Investment regime.
The Urban Development Authority throughout its journey has involved in significant programmes nationally prioritized in order to systematically beautify and develop urban areas throughout the island with the assistance of all government institutions. Further, it plays a major role in attracting investors both local and foreign for the betterment of the country as it is in control of a vast number of real estate resources.
I acknowledge the hard work of the Urban Development Authority in achieving the National Policy Framework 'Vistas of Prosperity and Splendor' while its efforts towards achieving a planned, sustained and adorned urbanization despite going through the difficult times. I wish them success in achieving higher results and working together as a strong team for the benefit of the country.

It is well-known that our country is an investment destination, which offers investor friendly policies with the commitment to resolve and enhance the business competitiveness in the region.
Despite the downturn in the global economy, Sri Lanka has experienced improvements in the return of foreign investments. It is typical for a developing country, such as ours, to be faced by challenges. However, international investors appreciate the efforts of Sri Lanka. Hence, it lays the path for accelerating a fast-paced growth. Further, the Government of Sri Lanka also lays great emphasis on sustainable economic development and, therefore, the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) will play a fundamental role in energizing Sri Lanka's economy. Thus, the Urban Development Authority intends to further our endeavors and mobilize private investments, both domestic and foreign. Our strategy, complementing our robust FDI framework, will lead not only to non-financial contributions that come along with FDI but also to increased economic development.
Systematically, we aim to streamline and formalize business procedures and to elevate Sri Lanka's ranking in global rankings and increase global competitiveness. In order to do so, the Urban Development Authority as one of the premier investment promotion bodies in the country actively engages and facilitates the flow of FDI in the country while being responsible for attracting, facilitating and promoting both local and foreign investment as it is the key planning authority and the holder of a vast number of real estate resources.
The Urban Development Authority continues to navigate through challenges and realize the country's vision for a better tomorrow for our future generations. Although we do not underestimate the difficulties and obstacles that may be involved, we look forward to earnestly cherish the opportunity to take the country in to new heights. We are focused on making Sri Lanka a hub for global business activities across diverse sectors, and we are excited to invite global companies to establish their presence in Sri Lanka to make the most of this opportunity.

Major General (Retd). Udaya Bandula Nanayakkara
Sri Lanka is at the cross roads of the fastest growing economies in the world. The tropical climate beautiful beaches, incredible food and haven for history is the reason to include the South Asian country on any ones travel wish list. With its unique geo-strategic location, skilled human resources and a huge untapped growth potential, Sri Lanka is looking forward to unleash a decade of growth taking advantage of its inherent strengths and global supply chain shifts. Hence, it provides attractive incentives and profuse policies for vast investment opportunities in many sectors of the economy for foreign and local investors to thrive lucrative returns.
We, the Urban Development Authority as the apex planning authority in the country responsibly involve in achieving a better Sri Lanka envisioned by the National Policy Framework 'Vistas of Prosperity and Splendor'. The Urban Development Authority has an edge to provide equal opportunities to foreign and local investors as we are backed by a vast number of real estate resources, necessary legal provisions, modern technologies and a capable staff. Further, we vigilantly strive to significantly involve in the Government, the policy leader's role to facilitate investors to enhance ease of doing business.
We are focused on making Sri Lanka a hub for global business activities across diverse sectors, and we are excited to invite investors to make their businesses a success in the most lucrative investment destination of the world.
Major General (Retd) Udaya Nanayakkara
Urban Development Authority
Plnr. Mr. N. P. K. Ranaweera
The Urban Development Authority (UDA), the key planning and implementation body in the country, which is at the forefront of social, economic, environmental and physical progress is also known to be one of Sri Lanka's premier investment promotion bodies, responsible for attracting, facilitating and promoting both local and foreign investment in Sri Lanka.
Thus far, the Urban Development Authority has engaged in diversified investment opportunities through a number of significant real estate development projects as it holds the sole authority on declared urban areas. Further, many real estate development projects under main clusters; Real Estate & Township, Hospitality & Leisure, Logistic & Business Parks, and Residential Apartments are in the process to be implemented hand in hand with investors on the basis of lease or public private partnership in the coming years. This would aid the investors to opt for the top investment options and diversify the investment portfolio for maximizing returns and minimizing associated risk.
In order to ensure that investors are provided an eased environment for investing and doing business, the Urban Development Authority has brought forward a centralized promotion and facilitation center 'One Stop Unit' which is intended to expedite the necessary clearances and approvals from relevant line agencies concurrently through one platform. It definitely expedites the planning and development process through a more holistic, efficient and effective decision-making process. Further, as the Urban Development Authority holds the key statutory powers to manage urban declared areas, it assures that rapid urbanization is controlled and guided through regularly updated regulations and guidelines based on the context to offer better opportunities for investors. On the other hand, all essential systems and facilities that allow the smooth flow of the investments are provided by the Authority up to the project site as well as developing and completely upgrading seaports around the island, the international airports, roads in the city of Colombo and highways connecting to other parts of the country and power and telecommunication facilities.
We believe, such initiatives will encourage investors to look in to investment avenues that could be expanded around the island and beyond borders in order to leap forward to achieve consistent and high returns.

The transition from senior year in high school to the next phase of the journey is an exciting one, but it can be bittersweet for parents. A lot is going to change in the coming months and years, but one thing that should never change is the love that you share as a family. And what better way to celebrate that love—as well as this important milestone—than a series of family portraits?
Now is the time to take this step, as the home dynamic will likely never be the same again, and you'll always want to look back on this time with the fond memories that it's brought to your lives. It's especially important for the graduating senior to remember that no matter what lies ahead in work and in life, their family will always be there to provide care and support. The portraits will also give them the perfect start when it comes to decorating their new dormitory, rented room, or first apartment.
The celebration shouldn't stop with the immediate family, either. As you're probably planning a myriad of events with distant relatives and friends you might not see very often, why not include them in a professionally taken picture or two? The grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins will all be thrilled to have this token of your time together. It's the perfect memento that will spark lively anecdotes and conversations for many generations to come.
Life is uncertain, and neither you nor your graduating senior can really know what bends will appear in the road ahead. That's why it's vital to gather everyone in the family together now, as you close this wonderful chapter in your lives and move ahead to the next. Call b&b Photography today to find out more about our packages and offerings.
Congratulations from us to your graduating senior!

Final Test Schedule
Northern State Teachers College
Student Publication
Who: My sorry self.
What: Stormed up to an imaginary
football, and whalloped it so force-fully
that both it and the seam of my
skirt soared to unforeseen hights. . .
and to my horror.
When: Sixth hour on a November
Thursday.
Where: In Acting and Staging
(Speech 280A) in the Administration
Auditorium. . .in front of about 20
amused fellow students.
The skirt was not tight. It just
wasn't willing to become a football
uniform. A straight one it was—in my
correct size—and certainly not unusu-al.
But the class was.
At the beginning of the hour, Ralph
Klein, our instructor, had called us to
the stage, where he introduced to us
"ensemble-playing," a theatrical phil-osophy
of "subordinating the player to
the play."
This philosophy had been initiated,
he told us, by the Duke of Sax-Mein-ingham
of Germany, a frustrated thea-ter
man of the early 1800's. The Duke,
often called the "first director," built
a theater in his castle and chose for
his casts his servants and renters.
The Duke's idea of making his
plays as a whole more outstanding
than any one actor so impressed the
great Constantin Stanislayski that he
used it as the key philosophy of his
famed Moscow Art Theater.
Exercises that Stanislayski used in
the training of his actors included spe-cial
lessons in relaxation and concen-tration,
some of which our instructor
would have us do that hour. Stanislav-ski
often asked his students to repeat
these exercises in reverse so that they
would become more aware of the mo-tivation
necessary for believing in
what they were doing.
I don't believe they could really do
it. I've tried unldcking that football,
and my skirt won't unrip.
As we began our exercises, we were
first directed to pretend we were pick-ing
apples. Oh, Adam, thought I,
wherefore art thou?
Next came my defeat at football.
When that was over, I donned my
coat and returned to the stage, where
the boys were arranging benches so
we could practice rowing.
Row we did—but not gently down
the stream. We were Dakotan In-dians
seeking to unseat Sitting Bull...
then African cannibals hasten-ing
to a Thanksgiving meal . . . .
refined Egyptians looking for sweet
Cleopatra on the Nile. . . and finally
captives bellowing our sorrows in a
slave ship.
Our last adventure of the hour
was a threat to Henry Ford. Some of
us became car parts and others wash-ers;
we became an instant car getting
an instant wash. So exuberant were
the latter that they broke the antenna,
a girl with her arm aimed skyward,
who consequently tumbled to the
floor. One girl, the dashboard, wiggled
her hand weirdly behind her.
"What's with your hand?" asked
another car part.
Said she, "That's the steering
wheel."
I'm going to get a car like that aft-er
I make my last payment on my
300-pound canary. (I'll put her in
my trunk.)

There is a lot of discussion of the term 'sustainability' and numerous definitions of the term. I'm not going to delve into a comparative exploration of these in this post. I'd like, instead, to explore a notion common to a number of definitions of sustainability: that we need to pass on to future generations a World fit to live in (I include examples of such definitions at the end of the post).
Implicit in this notion is the belief that humans can care about the lives of those in a future beyond their lifespan. This belief runs contrary to the view that people find it difficult to envisage and/or care about a future in which they no longer play a part. If this is the case, many definitions of sustainability can be seen as hopelessly naive.
The view that humans are preoccupied with the present or near future and incapable of caring about a more distant future brings to my mind a story I heard once about wine procurement at one of the colleges of Cambridge University, Trinity College. According to the story wine is procured for the cellars of the college for consumption 50 years hence. I can't vouch for the veracity of the story but I find it an interesting starting point for considering our capacity to care about the future.
Procuring wine to be drunk 50 years hence requires not only knowledge of how wine ages but also, arguably, significant imagination. The person charged with the task must consider how a wine will taste on the palate of future quaffers. Will it have matured- the acidity ceded to fruitiness? Will it delight the discerning drinker with its complexity and balance? Will it possess the aromatic qualities of a fine, old wine? As the procurer weighs up how a wine will age do they imagine some oak-panelled combination room where academics sip a vintage 2012? Can the procurer care about the pleasure of future drinkers?
Humans seem pretty good at imagining contexts they have never encountered themselves; we have never physically voyaged to new Worlds outside of the solar system though we enjoy considering what they might be like and what it might be like to voyage to them. We can read a book that describes such an imaginary voyage and care about the characters in it, though we ourselves will never go on such a voyage.
We can become fascinated by the physical laws that would operate, for example while voyaging through a worm hole. This fascination has little apparent links to our own lives seeming to stem from sheer curiosity. Our imaginations, our curiosity and love of problem solving and our ability to empathise with fictional humans are fundamental parts of us, allowing us to care beyond the boundaries of our own lives.
You can, of course, argue that when there is a perceived tension between ensuring our current needs and ensuring that future generations can look after theirs, we abandon imaginings and privilege our current lives. If the wine procurer has to choose between ensuring there is wine to be drunk in Trinity for present consumption, and ensuring a stock for future generations, they will favour present needs. I have a hunch though that a wine procurer who has dedicated years to thinking about how bottles of wine will taste to future generations will squirrel a few bottles away in some corner of the Trinity cellar; will conspire with imagined future individuals to ensure its discovery.
If we believe that we are not able to think beyond our own lives to the lives of those in the future, then the future for sustainability, in these terms, looks rather bleak. I'm venturing another view: that we are actually very good at thinking beyond our own lives, that our capacity to voyage out of our lives is innate and powerful. If it is innate it is likely to perform a role in our own welfare, even if that role is not apparent to us. In thinking about how wine will taste to a future imbiber the wine procurer gets to learn more about wine and potentially also to extend their scope for creative activity, scope on which humans thrive.
If there is any merit in the view that people are very good at thinking beyond their own lives through imagination and curiosity then this should have implications for sustainability education. It suggests that the 'understand that you need to do something now, in order to safeguard the well being of future generations' approach is not the best way forward. An approach which asks people to Imagine potential scenarios for future generations, and how we can ensure the more positive of these may elicit more creative thinking and a greater willingness to engage in action now to achieve those ends.
"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." – Brundtland Commission (The World Commission on Environment and Development), 1987. Our Common Future. Oxford University Press, Oxford.
"Sustainability is a way of working and living that balances immediate needs for commerce, living, habitation, food, transportation, energy and entertainment with future needs for these resources and systems as well as the liveliness and support of nature, natural resources and future generations." – Natural Capitalism Solutions (undated). Definitions of sustainability [blog post].
"Sustainable development is concerned with the development of a society where the costs of development are not transferred to future generations, or at least an attempt is made to compensate for such costs." – Pearce, D. 1993.
