Rihanna Laughs Off Fight With Billionaire BF Hassan Jameel With Hilarious Meme – See Pic
Rihanna got the last laugh! The singer shared an epic meme that seemingly poked fun at her alleged argument photos with Hassan Jameel! Check it out here!
Rihanna, 30, and Hassan Jameel, 29, are still very much together, but is there trouble in paradise? On July 9, the "Umbrella" singer and her businessman beau were spotted soaking up the sun in Mexico proving split rumors wrong. However, in the photos, Rihanna and Hassan appear to be arguing. So, instead of addressing their tense exchange, Rihanna took to Instagram on July 11 to share a hilarious meme of a female lion roaring at a male lion, in the same way Rihanna appeared to be yelling at Hassan. How funny!
"When u think u know more bout soccer #worldcup2018," Rihanna captioned the post. "That's what she was arguing with her boo about lol," one fan wrote. Now, it all makes sense! "This is for everyone that thought her & dude was arguing frfr," another fan commented. While it's not clear whether or not Rihanna and Hassan were actually fighting or just having an intense conversation, we're glad she can joke about it!
Nevertheless, this isn't the first time things between Rihanna and Hassan got heated. "Rihanna and Hassan have an extremely passionate and intense relationship, with a tendency to break-up and make-up fairly frequently. They have a very strong physical connection, and when they fight it can get pretty heated, but then they have crazy good make-up sex and everything is great between them, until they fight again," a source close to RiRi explained to HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. Well, if it works for them, we're here for it.
For those of you who don't know, Rihanna and Hassan became romantically involved in 2017, but have kept their relationship pretty lowkey for the most part. But, she did hint at their blossoming romance during a interview with Vogue in May. "I used to feel guilty about taking personal time, but I also think I never met someone who was worth it before," Rihanna said. Aw!

Narratives of Relatedness and Culture Politics in Postcolonial Indonesia
mai 2018, 221 s., kart., format 225 x 155 mm

reihe Das regionale Fachbuch

Focusing on friendship practices and perceptions in contemporary Java, this book takes an innovative approach to analysing social structure, relatedness, and patronage in the context of a postcolonial nation in the Global South. Friendships in Java are highly flexible forms of relatedness that are embedded in a particular cultural context and influenced by Javanese cosmology, Islam, and political structure. This mixture has produced notions of sociality that were exploited by Indonesia's first two presidents in an effort to unite the new and fragmented nation. The book suggests that friendship relations in Java resemble a synthesis of Javanese ideals of good behaviour, the need for social security, attachment, and the influence of national culture politics. They constitute a major form of relatedness that is particular to postcolonial Indonesia.

Rugby Union: Andrew Moreland hopes player struggles ease for London Two South East battlers Barking in 2018
PUBLISHED: 10:00 21 December 2017
Gale Street club have at times this year struggled to name a squad
Forwards coach Andrew Moreland hopes the New Year brings a new influx of players for London Two South East battlers Barking.
The Gale Street club have struggled on several occasions this year to name a starting XV, including having to forfeit two games already this term.
With no game now until January 6, Barking will hope their player struggles ease in 2018.
And Moreland hopes there is a few new faces at training when the Gale Street outfit begin preparing for the clash with Horsham.
"Hopefully we can get a few more players joining us in January," he said.
"There always seems to be a little lift in numbers at the start of every year."
Barking could also soon receive a lift from a new programme designed to get former rugby players back into the sport.
'Return to Rugby' is an RFU-led initiative which tries to get players who have stepped away from the game back into it by playing touch rugby.
Barking's sessions will run on Tuesday evenings, and Moreland hopes they can unearth some talent to bolster the first team in 2018.
"Hopefully the Return to Rugby programme can bring a few more through the door," he added.
"It's a great idea as it gets people from the local area to join as members of the club and hopefully they can progress into playing for our full contact teams.
"If we can get more people from the area participating in rugby in any form, then that will help us achieve our aims as a club."
Barking had a struggle to name a XV for their final game of 2017 as they lost 88-12 at Charlton Park in London Two South East on Saturday.
The defeat leaves the Gale Street club rooted to the bottom of the table.
It has been a difficult term to date for Barking, but Moreland says there is reasons for optimism.
"We're also trying to get into schools and getting youn people into our club, which should help with our 'one club' ethos," he said.
"Everything we are doing is to ensure we are building a club going forward, which is what everyone wants."

Dear parents and carers,
Welcome back! I hope you had a good break and enjoyed relaxing in the (mostly) good weather. Thank you for your words and gifts of encouragement and support at the end of the summer term. All the staff feel hugely supported by the parent body and it is lovely to have such a good working partnership with you.
Equalities Week
We begin the year with a focus on issues around Equalities. All of next week the children will look at certain areas such as racial equality, disability issues and homophobia. Do talk to your child's teacher to find out more. As part of this, Beech Class will present their findings in their class assembly next Friday at 2.30pm in the school hall. Do come along to hear what they have been learning.
Meet the Teacher
Many of you have children starting with new teachers so do come and meet them next week and find out about class routines. On Monday at 3.00pm, Mrs Watson will be talking about Beech Class (including the residential), on Tuesday at 3.00pm Mrs Cornish will be talking about Oak Class, and on Wednesday at 2.45pm Mrs Talbot will be talking about Ash Class. If you cannot make those times, do introduce yourself to the teacher when you can.
We welcome our new staff Mrs Emma Conroy who will be working in breakfast club and in Oak class, and Miss Sariah Barnhill who will be working in Ash Class. Do introduce yourselves to them; I'm sure you'll make them very welcome.
Parent Governor
I am pleased to let you know that Hannah Penwarden has been elected to serve as Parent Governor. Thank you to her and Nancy Dickmann for putting themselves forward for this task. I am also pleased to let you know that Mrs Halsey is the new staff governor. We are now in the process of appointing a Foundation (church) governor and I will report back on that once completed. The governors do an enormously important job in terms of supporting, challenging and developing the school, so I am always very grateful to everybody who gets involved in this way. Many thanks to the departing governors, Amy Griffiths and Paul Baker.
Forest School
The pattern for this for the autumn and spring terms will be Beech Class on Mondays and Oak Class on Tuesdays. This starts for Year 6 on Monday 17th September and Year 4 on Tuesday 18th September. If you would like to volunteer to help at any of the sessions, please contact the school office.

Suppose you're a government in the United States, and you want to censor someone. But there's that meddlesome First Amendment, protecting freedom of speech and the press, and you just can't find your way around the problem. Well, the Supreme Court has the answer for you. According to a recent decision, all you need do is delegate the job to a private company, and voila! Private companies aren't subject to the First Amendment, and can restrict speech all they want. All you have to do is show that the company isn't engaging in a traditionally exclusive public function. Here is how it went down:
"Time Warner (now known as Charter) operates a cable system in Manhattan. Under state law, Time Warner must set aside some channels on its cable system for public access. New York City (the City) has designated a private nonprofit corporation named Manhattan Neighborhood Network, commonly referred to as MNN, to operate Time Warner's public access channels in Manhattan." (Manhattan Community Access Corporation v. Halleck, Opinion of the Court, p. 3) [1]
"Years ago, New York City…and Time Warner Entertainment Company…entered into a cable-franchise agreement….Time Warner received a cable franchise; the City received public-access channels. The agreement also provided that the public-access channels would be operated by an independent, nonprofit corporation chosen by the Manhattan borough president. But the City, as the practice of other New York municipalities confirms, could have instead chosen to run the channels itself….
"…MNN appears to have been incorporated in 1991 for that precise purpose, with seven initial board members selected by the borough president (though only two thus selected today)….The City arranged for MNN to receive startup capital from Time Warner and to be funded through franchise fees from Time Warner and other Manhattan cable franchisees…. As the borough president announced upon MNN's formation in 1991, MNN's 'central charge is to administer and manage all the public access channels of the cable television systems in Manhattan.'" (Id, dissent of Sotomayor, J., pp. 2-3)
"Dee Dee Halleck and Jesus Papoleto Melendez produced public access programming in Manhattan. They made a film about MNN's alleged neglect of the East Harlem community. Halleck submitted the film to MNN for airing on MNN's public access channels, and MNN later televised the film. Afterwards, MNN fielded multiple complaints about the film's content. In response, MNN temporarily suspended Halleck from using the public access channels.
"Halleck and Melendez soon became embroiled in another dispute with MNN staff. In the wake of that dispute, MNN ultimately suspended Halleck and Melendez from all MNN services and facilities.
"Halleck and Melendez then sued MNN, among other parties, in Federal District Court. The two producers claimed that MNN violated their First Amendment free-speech rights when MNN restricted their access to the public access channels because of the content of their film.
"MNN moved to dismiss the producers' First Amendment claim on the ground that MNN is not a state actor and therefore is not subject to First Amendment restrictions on its editorial discretion." (Id, Opinion of the Court, pp. 3-4)
The case made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve the question of "whether private operators of public access cable channels are state actors subject to the First Amendment." (Id, p. 4) The answer: no, they are not. The Court concluded "that operation of public access channels on a cable system is not a traditional, exclusive public function. Moreover, a private entity such as MNN who opens its property for speech by others is not transformed by that fact alone into a state actor. In operating the public access channels, MNN is a private actor, not a state actor, and MNN therefore is not subject to First Amendment constraints on its editorial discretion." (Id, p. 2)
Now, it is a component of the common good that people have access to suitable information. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1908) [2] And it is for the civil authorities to "'to defend and safeguard a true and just freedom of information.'" (Id, no. 2498) [3] And while a society ideally shouldn't countenance such things as defamation or disinformation (Id, nos. 2497, 2498), we have to be cautious. We don't want to become like those "totalitarian states which systematically falsify the truth, exercise political control of opinion through the media…and imagine that they secure their tyranny by strangling and repressing everything they consider 'thought crimes.'" (Id, No. 2499)
The problem with this recent case, as stated by Justice Sotomayor in her dissent, is that the First Amendment shouldn't be evaded simply because the government handed off its administrative duties to a private actor. (Manhattan Community Access Corporation, supra, dissent of Sotomayor, p. 13) It would give a whole new meaning to privatization.

Fans of Little Britain and the movie Bridesmaids have seen Matt Lucas in almost every way imaginable (and we mean that), but his role in the new film Small Apartments sees the British comedian showing considerable flesh for an extended period of time.

Remember Us
Acrylic, 2014
The source material for this painting came from the Canadian War archives. I found this beautifully haunting, and almost too perfect, photo of a female RCAF member who upon arriving oversees in England had her photo taken in front of the Union Jack Flag. I wanted to capture this on canvas with the male troops on the horizon of the Union Jack flag. The poppies in the foreground painted very simply, almost as if a child had drawn them on the canvas. Remember Us speaks to Remembrance Day and feelings around the women who served alongside the men.

What a time for Liverpool's Academy players.
Not only are they getting the opportunity to train under the guidance of Steven Gerrard, but they will soon have an impressive new base which they will share with Liverpool's first team.
A public consultation will take place today for residents and businesses to discuss the proposed redevelopment, designed to bring Jurgen Klopp's senior side and the club's Academy operations together.
The plans will see Liverpool leave their long-term base at Melwood and move to an area that is set to include a new training centre, an upgraded pitch and a viewing stand for fans- to name just a few of the features.
Local clubs in the Kirkby area are also expected to benefit from the introduction of new facilities as both Liverpool and Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council (KMBC) look to help amateur football.
It promises to be an incredible project and a special union of the present and the future of the Reds.
Below are the CGI images of what the complex is expected to look like upon completion.

mobile online casino Australia
Australian mobile casinos can be found offered by many online casinos that now offer their games in a mobile format. Mobile users are turning to mobile casinos in records numbers and Australian players are a big part of those numbers. As a new generation of players begins to play at casinos the trend is leaning towards mobile platforms. This is due to the fact that the younger generation is more tech savvy. They prefer games on the go as their lives are full of activity and are used to on an on demand lifestyle. The older population still prefers the usual online casino games and that will not change nor cause any decline in online play.
By no means does that mean that mobile casinos are only for the young. Players from all walks of life find the convenience factor that mobile gaming gives them to be incredibly attractive. As the pressures of work increases and family time obligations continue to rise, more players prefer to take some time out with their mobile devices to play the games they love. Australian Mobile casinos offer many games such as video slots, blackjack, keno, bingo, poker and sportsbetting. Whatever type of game you can think of you most likely will be able to find to play on your mobile device.
Many of the mobile casinos available for Australian players already offer an online version of their games. Mobile casinos are available for the iPad, iPhone, Android and Blackberry. Each of those offers the same selection of games. The quality of the games is excellent and the overall performance is on par with that experienced online. Technology has allowed for the games to be faster and often information is received back in less than a few seconds. The fact that many of the mobile casinos that are in operation are already established certainly lends credibility to mobile casinos. It provides an added peace of mind as they are licenced and certified. One of those certification programs is eCOGRA. eCOGRA is passing along its certification process to include Mobile Casinos. This is a good thing for players and in general, the industry. Those casinos that receive this certification are often viewed in a higher regard than those who do not.
As Australian mobile casinos offer a range of games for players of play some players are being exposed to games they may not have played in the past. This is often due to not understanding the game. As the selection for mobile casinos is still limited it means players are more aware of all the games available. They are taking time to learn blackjack and baccarat for example. This only enhances the exposure they receive to games. As games like blackjack and baccarat are more skill based players are finding a new level of excitement as they learn and begin to play these types of games. Slots remain the number one choice for most mobile casino players, as is the casino for online casinos as well.
The mobile market is expected to become a very busy place in the coming years. As new markets are opening up in countries that are beginning to emerge, those people who live there are getting online and buying mobile devices in record numbers. That in turn is exposing them to the world of mobile gaming. Therefore the demand is constantly increasing for more casinos to open and an increased selection of games to be available for them to play. One of the most popular devices is the Android phone. This is due to its affordability to many users. The quality of the touch screen display is appealing to this new generation as it affords them easier use and faster games play.
To begin playing with a mobile casino you will need to visit the casinos website. You will then be able to enter your information in order to receive a sms message with a link to download the app. Once you have downloaded the app you can register your player account and select the games you wish to upload to your mobile device. Mobile casinos will let you allow download the games you want to play without having to download all the games. However it is advantageous to download all the games as they do not use a lot of space and will provide you a wider range of games to play.

Is your workplace happy and productive? Are staff appreciated, motivated and challenged and not feeling pressured or exploited? If the answers are 'yes!', here are six easy ways you can generate tension and anger among staff, create an unhappy workplace, and ultimately reduce productivity. Or not.
Overwork your staff
Overworking is a slippery slope, so encouraging it – or failing to discourage it – is an easy way to generate bad feeling in the workplace. You'll soon find stress and tiredness increasing, leading to irritability, and bingo! You have highly strung staff who could snap at a moment's notice
87% of employees admit to overworking, either by choice or necessity. The health risks involved in working long hours help contribute to negative morale and reduced productivity. The voluntary sector often relies on goodwill and voluntary action to stay on top of financial or operational challenges.
Use out-of-date systems and procedures
Your organisation may be changing and evolving but that doesn't mean the systems and procedures that support your charity have to keep up! Let things carry on as they were and before you know it, the simplest tasks will take forever – a rich source of staff frustration.
Not reviewing processes and looking for the best solutions for your organisation as you grow or change will create errors, poor motivation and employee retention.
Ignore the complainers
If you're too busy to really put the time into fomenting workplace rage, those people who love to complain will do the work for you! No matter how good things get, all they see are the negatives. All you have to do is make sure their complaints are never addressed, then sit back and watch the bad vibes spread to the whole office.
While criticism isn't necessarily a bad thing, unreasonable complaining leads to negativity, reduced productivity and the ire of co-workers. Effective regular reviews and appraisals can help you manage this.
Be a tyrant
Bad managers make for unhappy staff, so make sure yours feel unappreciated, unrecognised and taken advantage of. It's all about finding your 'inner bully'.
Keeping staff committed and tethered to a charities 'mission' is fundamental. The number one reason for people leaving their jobs is that they don't feel appreciated, so this is a major cause of workplace anger and frustration.
Mismanage payroll
While you may get angry over those misinformed stories about the top earners in charities, most voluntary sector workers are more concerned about their own pay. Repeated delays and mismanagement of pay are among the primary sources of workplace anger. Employees believe that they should be promptly and accurately paid for the work they do, so failure to achieve this most fundamental of business agreements is guaranteed to infuriate them.
Make sure your payroll is properly and effectively managed. If you are struggling with effective payroll, consider outsourcing your payroll instead.
Make bad cups of tea
Sorry, we went too far with this one. If you can't make a good cup of tea, you are basically a monster.
UK workers drink 41m cups of tea a year, and 33% say they feel more productive after a tea break. Encouraging staff to take breaks – whether they come with a decent cup of tea or not – can have a positive effect on workplace morale.

Ineptitude is like incompetence.
A subtle difference, but much the same.
The latter fails with muddle, negligence.
The first, not capable by hand or brain.
But both are pretty bad and frustrating.
The phrase is 'leave a lot to be desired'.
The task not done properly. Left waiting.
The person who's at fault then getting fired.
I acknowledge that 'out of depth' myself
at times, but just enough to cover up.
I'd try to extricate myself by stealth.
Aware, though, really was not good enough.
On looking back I'd say it attitude
the problem. Boredom. Kept me unenthused.

Home Blog Tapping the FSBO Virtual Tour Market
While I have had good success lately in uncovering new real estate and commercial business, I have been looking for new outlets to gain additional business.
After talking to a number of my real estate friends they directed me to the local cable channel where agents buy time to advertise homes. While watching the channel, I came up with an idea to gain new business that I am in the process of incorporating into my business model.
One of the programs that the channel has is the "For Sale by Owner" channel. It is obvious that people who are trying to sell their homes on their own don't have websites to house a virtual home tour of their property nor do most of these people know the importance of them .
We are currently building an area into our website to advertise these "For Sale By Owner Homes". We are going to place the tours under my Sample Gallery pages where I will have a dedicated spot for these For Sale By Owner tours.
It is a win win because I can now sell them on virtual tours as well as hosting fees for placing on my site and they now have access to a website where they can direct potential customers. I have already spoke to several friends that I know selling their own homes who are lining up to have virtual tours done of their homes.
Once I get this up and running my plan is to place an ad on Craigslist where people are all about selling things on their own. Depending on how that goes I will then take out a spot in the local newspapers real estate section. As the economy changes the way people do business, I believe it is only prudent to come up with new ways to stay ahead of the curve.

October 17, 2010 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese justice minister Mohamed Bushara Dousa issued a decree on Sunday removing the special prosecutor for Darfur crimes Nimr Ibrahim Mohamed, more than two years after he was appointed into this position in an apparent bid to deflect the case of the International Criminal Court (ICC) against president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir.
- Sudan justice minister Mohamed Bushara Dousa (Sudan TV)
Sudan's official news agency (SUNA) said that Dousa also terminated the mandate of Mohamed's three assistants. Dousa tapped his Undersecretary Abdel-Dayem Zumrawi to replace Mohamed with the task of looking into crimes committed in the war ravaged region since 2003.
He said that the purpose of this change is to promote justice efforts in Darfur and underscored his ministry's keenness and commitment to achieving this goal.
Zumrawi will be assisted by Al-Fatih Mohamed Eissa Tayfour, Babiker Ahmed Ali Gishi, Dr. Al-Nazeer Hamed Faki and Sami Mubarak Mahmood Osman. The commission will also include representatives from the police and National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS).
The special prosecutor has been asked to submit a monthly report on the progress of his work to the justice minister containing the cases that are being looked into and any measures being taken on them.
Last week, the Sudanese justice minister emphasized during a visit to Doha that bringing justice to Darfur is the responsibility of the government and not an external party in reference to the ICC. He acknowledged that the work being done in that regard has taken longer than expected but stressed that this is caused by difficulties in investigating violations that took place during a time of war.
"We did not establish full justice, but we are ready to assert justice in the region and if we cannot present [any] cases to the courts, we can resort to the axis of the reconciliations and transitional justice," Dousa said.
An African Union panel headed by former South African president Thabo Mbeki suggested in a report submitted last year that the Sudanese judicial system on its own is incapable of carrying out credible prosecutions in Darfur and called for further changes within the legal system.
Mbeki recommended the establishment of hybrid courts to try the perpetrators containing foreign judges. However, the Sudanese government rejected the idea and to-date no progress has been done in implementing the AU proposal.
Alex De Waal, who is an adviser to Mbeki's panel, told Sudan Tribune last month that the Sudanese government "will be foolish and it will lose a lot of the support and sympathy it may have in Africa" if it keeps stonewalling the proposal.
Over the course of the last year, the AU commission have appeared to shift focus away from Darfur to the referendum in South Sudan due to take place early next year.
Human Rights groups accuse Khartoum of dragging its feet on bringing war crime suspects to justice and described all steps announced by the government so far as a sham.
The ICC has charged president Bashir, current governor of South Kordofan Ahmed Haroun and militia leader Ahmed Kushayb with war crimes from the government side.
Attempts in the past by the justice ministry to investigate Haroun and Kushayb has been blocked for unknown reasons. Last year, Haroun blasted the Darfur special prosecutor when the latter hinted that he wants to investigate him.
The then state minister for humanitarian affairs accused the former justice minister Abdel-Basit Sabdarat of taking positions "inconsistent with the state position refusing to deal with the ICC".
The former special prosecutor has not announced the prosecution of any cases during his time in office.

The 10 Best Road Bike Cranksets
This wiki has been updated 12 times since it was first published in November of 2018. When considering the anatomy of a road bike, few components are quite as important as the crankset. This part, which is actually a collection of individual pieces -- including chainrings, the pedal arms themselves, and sometimes a bottom bracket -- is crucial to a cycle's operation, turning leg pressure into forward propulsion. The models on this list meet a range of budgets and quality markers. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki. Skip to the best road bike crankset on Amazon.
Editor's Notes
December 11, 2018:
Whether you're a hardcore cyclist or a weekender cruiser, having a crankset that suits your needs is essential. The right one can mean improved performance and an overall more comfortable ride, while the wrong one can make you work harder than you have to. Realizing the variety of budgets and riding levels out there, we put together a list that includes models for everyone, from the supremely affordable Shimano M361 to the pro-level FSA K-Force Light. We even threw in the single-speed SRAM S300 Courier for all the urban road warriors out there.

Super Mario Strikers
Released: November 18, 2005
Super Mario Strikers (known as Mario Smash Football in Europe and Australia) is a soccer video game that was released exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube . The game was created in the vein of other Mario sports games such as Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Mario Power Tennis , and is loosely based off of Sega Soccer Slam , another soccer video game. In terms of U.S. releases, it is the last Mario game to be released for the GameCube. A sequel called Mario Strikers Charged is currently in development for the Wii.
Super Mario Strikers features five modes of play. The first is Grudge Match , an exhibition game that can be played by up to four players. Second is the Cup Battle , which has the player's team competing against computer controlled teams for the cup trophy. Third is the Super Cup Battle , which is an enhanced Cup Battle tournament that must be unlocked by winning all the regular Cup Battles. Fourth is the Custom Battle in which players customize their very own game and tournament to play in. Last is the Strikers 101 tutorial, where beginners learn the basic and advanced powers/skills of the game. The controls are simple set up, the control stick (moving), the A button (passing), the B button (shooting), the Y button for dekes(or jukes and big hits), the R button (turbo), and the X button (use items)
Teams are made up of five members. The captain leads the team. Three sidekicks that are color coded to match the captain and a Kritter (a Kremling enemy from the Donkey Kong Country series) form the rest of the team. Players cannot mix and match their sidekicks, so if they choose Toad, then they lead a team of Toads. The only exception to this rule is if the player chooses the Super Team, which will give the player control of a team with all robots. The Super Team is unlocked by winning the Bowser Cup. Each Super Team member (except the goalie) can perform a super strike.
Balanced Captains:
- Mario
- Yoshi
Playmaker Captains:
- Luigi
- Princess Peach
Aggressive Captains:
- Donkey Kong
- Wario
Offensive Captains:
- Waluigi
- Princess Daisy
Robotic Nightmare:
- Super Team
- Toad
- Koopa Troopa
- Birdo
- Hammer Bros.
- Kremling
- Robo-Kritter (Super Team goalie)
There are seven stadiums total. Three of these stadiums (The Palace, Pipeline Central, and The Underground) are available at start. Four more stadiums must be unlocked by:
- Finishing in the top 3 for the Mushroom Cup (unlocks Konga Coliseum).
- Finishing in the top 3 for the Flower Cup (unlocks Crater Field).
- Finishing in the top 3 for the Star Cup (unlocks The Battle Dome).
- Finishing in the top 3 for the Bowser Cup (unlocks Bowser Stadium).

Arrears or Delinquent Taxes Due to Local Governments
Taxes in arrears are outstanding property taxes plus applicable penalties and interest, that are unpaid on December 31 in the year they were imposed. Delinquent taxes are any taxes in arrears remaining unpaid on December 31 in the year following the year in which they became taxes in arrears.
Overdue Property Taxes
Unpaid property taxes become taxes in arrears after December 31 of the current taxation year, and interest starts to accrue on the total unpaid amount. After one year, if still unpaid, these property taxes and accrued interest become delinquent after December 31. A property with delinquent taxes is subject to tax sale if those taxes are unpaid by the statutory tax sale date which is the last Monday in September each year.
The following is an example time line using the general tax collection scheme:
- Taxes are levied and billed in spring 2018 and the due date is July 3, 2018.
- July 4, 2018 - A 10% penalty is applied to your unpaid account balance, including any unclaimed home owner grant.
- January 1, 2019 - Taxes, penalties and interest accrued and still unpaid become taxes in arrears. Interest on the unpaid account starts accruing
- January 1, 2020 - Taxes, penalties and interest accrued and still unpaid become delinquent taxes. Interest continues to accrue.
- September 28, 2020 - If delinquent taxes are still unpaid, the property must be taken to tax sale on the last Monday in September.
Some municipalities elect, by bylaw, to use an alternative taxation scheme where they can vary the due dates and application of penalties and interest.
Interest on Arrears or Delinquent Taxes
Arrears and delinquent taxes bear interest at a rate prescribed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council under section 11(3)of the Taxation Rural Area Act until they paid or recovered. The interest is part of the taxes in arrears or delinquent taxes and the total amount of the taxes in areas and delinquent taxes is a charge on the land or improvements, or both, as if the penalties and interest had originally formed part of the taxes imposed.
The interest rates on taxes in arrears and delinquent taxes are calculated by adding three percent to the prime lending rate, as of the 15th of the month preceding the effective date, of the principal banker to the B.C. government. The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is considered to be the provincial government's principal banker for interest rate reference purposes. The rates are also applicable to sections 655 and 660 of the Local Government Act and sections 245, 246 and 254 of the Community Charter. Current and historical interest rates are as follows:

We welcome Coco Chanel, our new adopted/rescue puppy, she was only 12 weeks when we found her quiet and almost invisible among the numerous chiouawas at the Pet's Hope rescue shelter in Simi Valley Town Center.
She is since four months old and happy running around our back yard and equally happy when occasionally she comes to the store. She has been great as the leader of the welcome committee!
World renowned Belgian diamond cutter Gabi Tolkowsky, cousin of Marcel Tolkowsky who in 1919 developed the Ideal cut, played a cd to his audience during a conference a while back, and blew their mind away. An abstract spacey sound filled the room. This random but beautiful new age type, other-worldly melody played for a while before Mr. Tolkowsky announced the composers - 2 diamonds.
Yes, you may soon want to hear what your diamond sounds like, and know what melody it is playing for you. While you may not find Tolkowsky's diamond music as an MP3 readily downloadable, you won't be able to deny the dreamy and striking melodies if you heard it. With the advance technology today, it is possible to translate lightwave patterns to soundwaves, and each diamond possesses a unique pattern, it too can create a unique sound.
One day you may go to your jeweler and select a diamond not only because of its visual characteristics but also for its unique sound!

10 Best Maybach Models of All Time
If you ever wondered which might be the Best Maybach Models built until now, we are here to give you the answer!
Even though it wasn't that simple, we managed to put together a list with 10 models that define the automobile manufacturer Maybach.
The German company was founded in 1909 by Wilhelm Maybach and his son, and until 1912 it was known as Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau GmbH.
Today, the ultra-luxury car brand is owned by Daimler AG, and even though we're talking here about luxury cars, the brand had its ups and downs.
But let's see what cars stand out in the history of Maybach, let's se which are the 10 Best Maybach Models of All Time!
10. Maybach W1
And we're going to start this list, with the Maybach W1 model, which was more like a concept car built in 1919.
The W1 model was the first car to come out of the Maybach workshop, and was built by Maybach's son, Karl, as a test unit.
The "Testwagen", as it was called, was one of the most daring designs at the time thanks to its in-line 6-cylinder architecture couple with a Daimler sourced chassis.
Rated at 46 hp, the engine was quite a piece of engineering.

Parkland Grounds Out Win Over Whitehall 21-12
Written by: Brian Ptashinski on Saturday, September 28th, 2013. Follow Brian Ptashinski on Twitter.
Just as teams were getting set for the opening kickoff at Parkland stadium last night, the lights went out. The game was delayed for about 15 minutes until power was restored. The delay did not seem to bother Whitehall as Saquon Barkley returned the opening kick 50 yards to the Parkland 44. On the first play from scrimmage Barkley took a handoff up the middle cut to his left and scored in the corner. The PAT was blocked giving the Zephyrs a quick 6-0 lead.
Then the game became a showcase for the Trojans RB Kareem Williams, who rushed for 216 yards on 21 carries and 3 scores. His first coming on the last play of the first quarter on a 57 yard scamper to give Parkland a 7-6 after the PAT. He was given the MVP award after the game as his team received the Joe Gerencser Memorial Trophy, which is presented annually to the winner.
"He is a big physical back," Whitehall coach Brian Gilbert stated. "They ran the ball effectively. They controlled the ground game. That's what won the game for them"
Whitehall took a lead of 12-7 in the second period, when on a 4th and goal from the Parkland 5 FG holder Gianni Sinatore took the snap and ran around the corner and dove into the end zone. The two point conversion failed.
That lead lasted until 4 plays later when Williams had a specatcular 47 yard run with under two minutes to go in the half to give the Trojans a 14-12 lead at intermission.
The second half was dominated by Parkland's physical ground game. They did not attempt a single pass. QB Davonte Cross rushed for 83 yards in the half, giving him 103 yards on the ground for the game.
The final dagger for Whitehall came at the 6:50 mark of the final quarter, Matthew Bonshak took the snap from center and tried a run up the middle he was hit hard and fumbled the ball, Parkland recovered at Whitehall 34. The Trojans proceeded to run the ball and the clock for nearly five minutes until Williams scored his third touchdown of the night from 31 yards out to give Parkland a 21-12 lead.
"We did a great job defensively," parkland coach Jim Morgans stated. "Defensive coordinator Timmy Moncman does a great job of getting these kids ready to play every week."
With Parkland's win and Easton's loss to Emmaus last night. The LVC currently has 4-way tie pending Bethlehem Catholic's game on Saturday with Liberty.

A federal district court in Nashville, TN has entered a summary judgment dismissal of a former Human Resources Director's discrimination and retaliation claims. The case is significant because it explores the line between offensive social conduct that does not violate Title VII and adverse employment action that does.
Marie Hasting's lawsuit asserted that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act was violated because: (1) her supervisor would walk by her without saying "good morning"; (2) she was excluded from a social club who regularly ate lunch together; and (3) she was retaliated against for complaining about it. She asserted that her employer, First Community Mortgage, had a sexist workplace culture that was recognized and permitted by management and that her supervisor commented that the company's website was "very white and all men" and told her to "add color and more women to the staff."
The claimed retaliation consisted of several events. After Hasting told her supervisor, CEO Keith Canter, that she felt he was treating her differently than other employees, the company's president, Philip Carlton, was assigned to be her supervisor. Later, her office was moved upstairs against her wishes, bonuses were removed and she was promoted without an increase in compensation. Finally, Carlton made negative comments in her performance evaluation after he perceived that she "threw him under the bus" at an executive meeting. Following that evaluation, Hastings resigned because she felt she could trust Carlton no longer.
No Adverse Action
Even if Canter didn't greet her "good morning," and even if the social club existed and excluded females, the court found that Title VII was not violated. "[Hasting] testified that not being invited to lunch with the other managers did not impact her job performance but made her feel like she was not part of the team," the judge stated. "Plaintiff admits she did not ask to join these lunches." After pointing out that adverse employment actions include "firing, failing to promote, reassignment with significantly different responsibilities, or a decision causing a significant change in benefits," the court stated that the actions alleged by Hasting, "while perhaps understandably dispiriting and frustrating for plaintiff, do not rise to the level of an 'adverse employment action.'"
In response to Hasting's claim that she was "harmed by the Club because she found it repugnant and a direct affront to her gender," the court stated: "Although Plaintiff has not alleged a hostile work environment claim, case law related to that theory of liability observes pertinently that Title VII 'is not a general civility code for the American workplace.'" Addressing Hasting's comment that she found the instruction to add color and women to the staff to be personally offensive, the judge stated: "The court will not second-guess plaintiff's personal view as to whether these comments were offensive to her. But it will say that these comments are indicative of a desire to recruit, hire, and maintain — rather than take adverse employment action against — …diverse persons. In any event, these comments do not amount to an adverse employment action under Title VII."
No Retaliation
The following facts were considered in deciding that there had been no retaliation:
- Hastings received an overall performance rating for 2015 of "very good."
- The change in reporting structure happened when Carlton assumed responsibility for human resources.
- Although she disagreed with some of the parts of her 2016 performance evaluation, Hasting did not consider that evaluation to be negative.
- All of the human resources staff was moved upstairs at the same time.
- The change in bonus structure happened before any protected activity had occurred, and Hasting admitted that her bonus payments were rolled into her base salary.
- Plaintiff failed to show that reorganizational promotions, such as hers to Vice President of Human Resources, generally involved an increase in pay.
- Her statements about Carlton's job performance in the executive meeting were not an activity protected by Title VII.
The court concluded: "Plaintiff has not demonstrated that, as required for a retaliation claim, this challenged employer action 'well might have dissuaded a reasonable worker from making or supporting a charge of discrimination.'"
Practical Takeaways
- This is a win for employers. It is a good case to have in our back pockets when addressing cases close to the line between offensive social conduct and unlawful actions.
- But it is also a reminder that, even though the employer ultimately won, it faced a lengthy period of costly, disruptive and time-intensive litigation. What this boils down to is a reminder of the importance of civility in the workplace, sensitivity to considerations of diversity and open communication channels.

Running is something we used to do often - all four of us together. I would push our double jogger and run next to Stephanie, but lately it has been difficult to make happen.
