Speaking to reporters, Aquino said he wants to first make sure that the PCGG is able to finish its task in recovering the Marcoses' ill-gotten wealth. "Gusto nating masigurado muna bago tayo magposisyon na natapos na ang dapat gawin ng PCGG. Pero malaki-laki pa ang mga dapat marekover. May mga ongoing pa tulad ng mga paintings sa New York kung tama ang tanda ko. May others pa na mga binabanggit. Tapos na nga ba 'yung paghahanap nila nitong hidden wealth at pwede nang iatas sa ating mga prosecutors, Ombudsman and other entities in the judicial branch of our system?" he said. Aquino said he has yet to formally meet with Bautista, and that he first wants to study the proposal. "Imbes na magmadali tayo kung ipanatili o i-abolish, maniguro tayo na natapos na ang trabaho. Nag-foster siya ng opinion. Gusto kong makita ang detalye kung bakit iyon ang opinyon niya," he said. Bautista earlier said the PCGG could wind down its operations and pass on the pursuit of the Marcos cases to the Department of Justice.

Some times when I'm trying to generate an instance of a schema I've got strange results. I have a record parameter "Max Occurs" = unbounded. Some times "Generate Instance" the command generates 3 records, some times only one.
I've made an investigation.
The number of the generated records: 0 1/default 2 n(>=3)
The number of the generate records is limited from the upper bound by Min Occurs.
Pretty logical, doesn't it?
Then why I was distracted?
I am waiting the number of the generated records should be equal the Max Occurs,
that's why!
Why I generate the instance? For testing my schema where I need exactly several records. If the number of the test records would be the Max Occurs it would be more intuitive.
If you have a comment, please, give me a feedback!

All sins are equal in the eyes of God, but I'm not God. One sinner made me his sin, and I can't let men like him live. I want to kill them. Every. Last. One.
Ezra James is no different. I was going to kill him, but then I found myself obsessed and possessed in the most reverent of ways. I became his sinner, and he became my sin, but the wages of sin is death, so I must kill him.
The son of a whore, raised by criminals, molded to fit into a world without morals. I've never given a shit about anything until the night I watched a man drop dead at the feet of my little killer. She called to my depravity, and everything in me demanded that I take her, possess her, own her. Some monsters hide behind the faces of angels.
Damned. Broken. Irredeemable.
Through blood, absolution shall be found.
What Readers Say:
5* I've been looking for something dark, dirty and depraved to sink my teeth in to for a while now. Every thing else I've tried just hasn't got my juices flowing.
Absolution did that, and so much more.
5* It's twisted, Messed up, Dark, powerful and sexy and I LOVED IT. I was shouting at my kindle for most of it. The twists are epic I didn't see them coming!
5* If you love a DARK READ, then this is a MUST!!!
It's sick, twisted, warped and totally compulsive reading! I can't work out how I could love these characters and chuckle at their addiction to one another! Excellent writing from LP Lovell and Stevie J Cole.

Non-Technical Summary
Background and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)
This non-technical summary of the Environmental Report sets out the findings of the Strategic Environmental Assessment of the draft Forestry Strategy 2019-29.
The development of proposals for the Forestry Strategy is considered to fall under Section 5(3) of the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005 ('the 2005 Act'). The 2005 Act requires that public plans, programmes, and strategies (PPS) are assessed for their potential effects on the environment.
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) enables environmental considerations to be built into the Forestry Strategy, so that potentially significant environmental impacts are identified at an early stage. It also gives members of the public and other interested organisations an opportunity to comment on the draft Strategy and its environmental effects. The SEA also considers how identified adverse impacts can be avoided or minimised ('mitigation'). A monitoring plan is also developed to identify any unexpected adverse environmental effects, should these arise. The conclusions from each stage of the assessment are summarised in the sections below.
Comments from the Consultation Authorities (SNH, SEPA and Historic Environment Scotland) have been taken into account, in terms of how the assessment has been undertaken, what it covers, and the level of detail required in this Environmental Report.
Forestry Strategy
The draft Strategy has been prepared in line with the Forestry and Land Management (Scotland) Act 2018. The Act requires Scottish Ministers to prepare a new Forestry Strategy.
The 50-year vision which underpins the Forestry Strategy is: Scotland will have more forests and woodlands, which will be sustainably managed as a much greater part of the nation's natural capital, providing a resilient, high quality and growing resource that supports a strong economy, a thriving environment, and healthy and empowered communities. To support the vision, the draft Forestry Strategy identifies three primary objectives to deliver over the next 10 years:
- Increase the contribution of forests and woodlands to Scotland's sustainable and inclusive economic growth;
- Protect and enhance Scotland's valuable natural assets, ensuring that our forests and woodlands are resilient and contribute to a healthy and high quality environment;
- Use Scotland's forest and woodland resources to empower more people to improve their health, well-being and life chances.
The Strategy also identifies the main priorities likely to have the greatest impact on achieving the draft objectives over the next 10 years. This assessment has focused on these 10 priorities. The Strategy sets out the range of policies the Government has to support delivery. Detailed actions for implementing the Strategy are not specified, as further information will be provided in the associated Monitoring and Reporting Framework that will be published later in 2019. Where applicable, the more detailed plans and programmes associated with the implementation of the Strategy will themselves be environmentally assessed under the 2005 Act. Actions carried out to support the delivery of the Strategy's vision and objectives must adhere to the principles of sustainable forest management where relevant, and this has been taken into account in assessing the environmental effects of the draft Strategy.
Relevant related policies and environmental objectives
The SEA process has taken into account existing wider environmental objectives. These include established policies and strategies relating to the protection and enhancement of the natural and built environment.
A Forestry Strategy was first published in 2000, and established a framework of guiding principles for developing forestry in Scotland. A second edition further developed this framework and was published in 2006.
In 2011, the Scottish Government concluded that the existing Strategy remained 'fit for purpose' and a revision was not required.
In 2016, 'Getting the best from our land: A Land Use Strategy for Scotland 2016-2021' (LUS2) was published, setting out a framework for a more unified and strategic approach to land use within Scotland[1]. Its fundamental principles of "long-term, well integrated, sustainable land use delivering multiple benefits for all society" have been consolidated across management strategies for a range of sectors, including forestry. The Land Use Strategy noted the key role of forestry as a multi-purpose land use and identified a review of the existing Forestry Strategy as a priority for delivering its Vision, Objectives and Principles, and ensuring it aligned with relevant Scottish Government policies and priorities.
Another key environmental policy is the Scottish Government's Climate Change Plan 2018 (CCP). The plan establishes the government's annual woodland creation target (currently 10,000 hectares per year, rising to 15,000 hectares by 2025) and through this its longer-term ambition to increase Scotland's forest and woodland cover to 21% of the total land area by 2032.
The commitment to produce a new Forestry Strategy was carried through to the Forestry and Land Management (Scotland) Act 2018, which was passed by the Scottish Parliament on 20th March 2018 and received Royal Assent on 1st May 2018. The Act is a fundamental step in the process to complete the devolution of forestry, providing the legislative framework to enable delivery of a package of other policy initiatives to increase forestry's contribution to the Scottish Ministers' economic, environmental, and social ambitions. The Act makes provision for what must be included in the new Forestry Strategy and how it must be prepared (including consultation requirements), reviewed and reported on.
The LUS2 and CCP were both themselves subject to SEA before they were finalised.
Environmental characteristics related to forestry
Hundreds of years of human intervention and the impacts of climate change have reduced in extent and altered Scotland's forests, so that no woodlands in Scotland can be regarded as truly natural. However, examples of semi-natural woodlands have endured to the present day and these are a conservation priority due to the biodiversity that they support.
By the early 20th century, forest cover in Scotland, as well as the rest of the UK, was reduced to 5%. This was recognised as a strategic problem and the UK Forestry Act of 1919 was introduced to address this issue. Given the strategic need to grow more timber, the forests and woodlands planted in Scotland during the subsequent 100 years were primarily, but not exclusively designed to optimise timber production, using species from around the world suited to Scotland's growing climate. Today, Scotland's woodland and forests cover 19% of the country's total land area.
Native woodlands, which account for 22% of Scotland's, forests and woodlands, are those in which over 50% of the canopy is comprised of species that are native to the region and are commonly classified according to four main types: native pinewoods, upland birchwoods, upland oakwoods, and lowland mixed deciduous woodland. Many of these are protected through designations such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Areas of Conservation (SACs).
Scotland's oldest woodlands have existed in some capacity for at least 250 years. These are referred to as ancient woodlands and are recognised for their particularly high levels of biodiversity. Many also possess considerable heritage value. Much like native woodlands, ancient woodlands are often fragmented and so are vulnerable to further degradation. Other woodland varieties include aspen woodland, urban and amenity woodland, and individual and small groups of trees. Despite their relatively limited spatial extent, these types of woodland perform many vital functions such as providing green space in urban environments and serving as a "living record" of historic land uses.
Scotland's woodlands face pressures to their health and productivity. Land use change due to urban expansion and other activities can result in habitat fragmentation and a loss of biodiversity[2]. Pests[3] and diseases[4] can cause physical damage or tree death while invasive non-native species can alter species composition and disrupt woodland ecosystems[5], including native woodlands[6]. Unmanaged woodland recreation could also introduce problems such as trampling, the disturbance of wildlife, and the introduction of pathogens[7].
Climate change has the potential to affect forests and woodlands in a number of ways. For example, it may promote the propagation of pests, diseases, and non-native species; the climate-induced spread of Phytophthora ramorum, which threatens larch, and Dothistroma needle blight, which targets coniferous trees including native pinewood, have been identified as particular concerns[8]. A changing climate is also likely to alter species distribution, potentially favouring certain species over others. For example, Sitka spruce is less resistant to drought and so may be affected by drier summer conditions in the future[9]. Climate change could also increase the incidence and severity of wildfires[10] and extreme weather events such as wind storms[11], all of which could damage woodlands.
Herbivores and deer in particular are regarded as one of the primary drivers of native woodland deterioration. For example, deer can compromise a woodland's ability to regenerate due to browsing and changes in the habitat structure[12]. Conversely, woodland expansion may result in effects on deer populations such as a reduction in open ground and displacement. Effective deer management can be a challenge due to practical, economic, and environmental considerations.
The evolution of the environment without the Forestry Strategy
Sustainable forest management is central to the Forestry Strategy and forms the basis for all relevant decisions taken by the current forestry regulator, Forestry Commission Scotland. The Strategy outlines how, through compliance with the UK Forestry Standard (UKFS), the principles of SFM will be implemented in practice.
The Forestry and Land Management (Scotland) Act 2018 requires that Scottish Ministers have due regard to the Forestry Strategy when exercising their forestry functions, such as managing the existing National Forest Estate, and providing financial support to the sector. The Strategy will therefore play a critical role in shaping how Scottish Government resources are utilised: Without it, there would be no such guidance. Similarly, forestry is a long term consideration and without the implementation of the Forestry Strategy it is unlikely that as much priority and as full a commitment would be given to, amongst other matters, existing forestry, climate change and biodiversity objectives and targets.
If the Forestry Strategy were not to be implemented, the opportunity to address the issue of sympathetic integration of forestry with other land-uses would also be missed.
Reasonable Alternatives
The 2005 Act requires that the Scottish Government also identify, describe and evaluate the likely significant effects on the environment of any 'reasonable alternatives' to the draft Strategy, taking into account its objectives and geographical scope.
Consideration of alternatives was undertaken in discussion with a wide range of stakeholders. The extent to which alternatives could be considered 'reasonable' was influenced by the existing legislative and policy context that the document must reference and align with, and the current Government commitments and targets such as the woodland creation target in the Climate Change Plan 2018.
In developing the draft Strategy, the Scottish Government drew on evidence on the potential key issues facing forestry over the next 10 years (the period of the Strategy), and the requirements of the Act, as a basis for developing the 50-year vision and the 10-year economic, social and environmental objectives and priorities. These key issues, and the scope of the Strategy's vision, objectives and priorities for action were discussed with a broad range of Scottish Government policy teams, representatives from the SEA Consultation Authorities, and external stakeholders. Engagement with external stakeholders was mainly through the Forestry Strategy Reference Group (which includes representatives from the Confederation of Forest Industries, the National Farmers Union for Scotland, Scottish Environment Link, Scottish Natural Heritage, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, the Community Woodland Association and academia). This informed the development of the core content of the Strategy. Having taken this approach to the Strategy it was considered that there are no other reasonable alternatives.
Summary of the likely significant effects of the Forestry Strategy
The Environmental Report has found that the draft Forestry Strategy will have an overall positive impact across all aspects of the environment, with a few potential mixed effects anticipated across individual priorities with respect to the historic environment, landscape, biodiversity, air and soil. Table NTS1 shows the effect of each Strategy priority in relation to environmental objectives.
Population and human health is expected to experience positive effects over all of the priorities within the Forestry Strategy, for example, in terms of supporting recreation and improving urban landscapes. It is assumed that any potential negative effects such as the nuisance factors of dust and noise will be managed appropriately through the implementation of the principles of SFM under the UKFS.
Biodiversity, flora and fauna is anticipated to experience an overall positive effect from woodland creation, sustainable management of pests and diseases and broader promotion of the SFM principles. However, in terms of individual priorities 8 (Increase the use of Scotland's forests and woodlands to improve health and well-being, help people better understand forestry, and support wider Scottish Government activity to help children become confident and resilient members of Scottish society) and 9 (Enhance forestry's contribution to sustaining viable rural communities and increase the positive impact of forest and woodland management on other businesses, especially in agriculture and tourism), a mixed effect is predicted. An increase in visitor numbers to woodlands could potentially give rise to some negative effects effect on habitats and species, and as a result, careful management of these priorities will be required.
It is predicted that the effect on Soil will be positive overall, although, in relation to Priority 8, a potential for mixed effects on soil from increased visitor numbers was also noted.
There are predicted to be major positive effects on Air from Priorities 1 (Promote and develop the concept of sustainable forest management as it applies to Scotland) and 7. (Increase the natural capital value of Scotland's woodlands and forests by improving the condition of native woodlands and forests and increasing the positive impacts of forest and woodland management on biodiversity, air, water, soils, flood management, landscapes and the historic environment, mitigating the risks of negative impacts). For the majority of the remaining priorities there is expected to be neutral or positive effects on air for example, indirectly via the expansion of woodlands and introduction of low carbon heat systems. However, mixed effects are likely for Priority 2 (sustainable expansion of woodlands) and 6 (Increase efficiency, productivity and the value generated from forest products and services and help develop forestry's role in creating a low-carbon economy by supporting technological innovation, improving the capacity and skills of those working in the sector and developing existing and new markets), as, for example, forestry expansion will clearly have positive effects on air, whilst increased forestry operations could generate some local level emissions.
The water environment is expected to benefit overall from several priorities in terms of improvements expected for water quality and flood alleviation, and particularly positive effects are expected from three priorities including Priority 7 (on increasing natural capital value of native woodlands and forests) as well as Priorities 1 (on promoting SFM) and 2 (on sustainable expansion) as a result of the positive effects of sustainable afforestation.
For climatic factors the effects are predicted to be positive overall. There would be major positive effects over most of the priorities as a result of the increased contribution to carbon sequestration from afforestation and replacement of carbon intensive construction materials, as well as from the planting of species resilient to pests and diseases. More minor positive effects are expected from two remaining priorities (8 and 9) in terms of the positive effects on the environment gained from greater public awareness.
In terms of material assets positive effects are expected overall. There will be a major positive impact across seven of the ten priorities including priority 3 (wood fibre) and 9 (rural communities) as opportunities will increase for more people and businesses to benefit from forestry and also with the potential for the reduction in waste that goes to landfill. More minor positive effects are anticipated over priorities 8 and 10 from, for example, awareness of the environment and lessening flood events and consequent prevention of damage to infrastructure.
On balance the topics of landscape and historic environment are predicted to experience positive effects when woodlands and forest are well planned and designed, and for landscape, in the case of Priority 10 (urban forestry), in the provision of healthy living spaces. However, across four priorities more mixed effects may be experienced and would require planning and management to avoid potential local level conflict with other land uses and negative impacts from increased visitor numbers. Woodland and forest design should also be used to avoid or manage changes to the recognised character of cultural and historic landscapes.
Some uncertainties have been noted during the course of the assessment, as the Strategy is high-level in nature and does not, therefore, fully define the more specific actions that will be undertaken to implement it. Underlying this assessment is the assumption that all actions coming out of the Forestry Strategy will be in line with SFM principles, supported through compliance, where relevant, with the UKFS.

Mitigation measures
The 2005 Act requires information to be provided on measures that should be taken to prevent, reduce and as fully as possible offset any significant adverse effects on the environment of implementing the draft Strategy. These measures are often referred to as mitigation measures.
The assessment has concluded that the draft Strategy, with its core purpose of promoting and supporting sustainable forest management, will have overall positive environmental effects. There is potential for mixed effects in relation to some aspects of the environment: historic environment, landscape, and to a lesser extent, biodiversity, air quality and soil. Mitigation measures have been identified against the relevant priorities and include the provision of recreation and visitor plans where soil and biodiversity may be affected by trampling from additional visitor numbers, the use of Environmental Management Plans to manage on site air quality as a result of forestry operations, and the use of local forest and woodland strategies to minimise adverse impacts on landscape and historic environment.
Monitoring arrangements
A wide range of existing programmes are in place at the national and local level to report on environmental status and assess performance against established environmental indicators. Since the publication of the second Forestry Strategy, indicators have been developed which enable progress against the objectives to be assessed[13]. These include indicators such as: area of native woodland, area of coniferous woodland and area of broadleaved woodland where timber production is a significant management objective.
Following the publication of this (the third) Forestry Strategy 2019-29, the Scottish Government will publish a detailed monitoring and reporting framework. A draft suite of progress indicators has been included within the draft Forestry Strategy to enable the Government to track progress against this Strategy's 10-year objectives and monitor forestry's contribution towards the Scottish Government's National Outcomes. The Government has asked for suggestions on monitoring via the consultation, to assist the process of finalising its approach to monitoring the implementation of the Strategy monitoring plan.
Therefore, it is anticipated that the outcomes from the SEA and the potential effects of the draft Strategy, can be monitored as an integral part of the monitoring of the Forestry Strategy itself. Further information on monitoring proposals will be set out in the Post Adoption SEA Statement.

This is outrageous! The president of the United States accused Democrats of faking the tragedy that took place in Puerto Rico due to Hurricane Maria!
Apparently, Donald Trump is convinced 3000 Americans losing their lives because of the natural disaster is nothing but a hoax to make him look bad. What?!
The commander in chief took to Twitter very early this morning to shock everyone with his rant about the deaths.
He claimed that the death count during last year's disaster has been overblown with one clear goal in mind – to discredit him as Hurricane Florence is reaching mainland US's East Coast.
'3000 people didn't die in the hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left, AFTER the storm had already hit, they had anywhere from six to eighteen deaths. As time went by, it did not go up by that much. Then, a long time later, they began to report large numbers, like 3000…,' one tweet reads.
He went on to say that '…..This was done by Democrats to make me look bad when I was raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico. If a person died for any given reason, such as old age, just add them to the list. Bad politics. I love Puerto Rico!'
Now this is another lever of outrageous claims even for Trump!
The reason why the president is so confused about the total number of deaths caused by Hurricane Maria is that the estimated 2,974 includes the later victims who passed away from complications after the hurricane, such as the heat.
At the time he visited, the number of deaths may not have been this large, but Trump is not taking into consideration the time that has passed since then.
Not to mention that even today, parts of Puerto Rico are still struggling without water or electricity, which continues to put thousands of lives in danger.

Amie doesn't do bears. So I'm on my own with my orders.
Sunday, 22 June 2008
Haven't had bears on here for a while
This bear sits over the stairwell in the cottage. I quite like her looking at you as you walk down the stairs. I made her out of scraps of string mohair left over from a bear made for an animal sheltars open day. I liked her so much I kept her. Promise there will be more bears, I have orders for bears - people are waiting for bears - I promise to start bearing in the morning.

when i am on the phone and some utilities company is trying to get 'my details' up on 'the computer' and they say 'bear with me' i imagine one of these bears being with them (although I imagine the bear hitting them over the head with a frying pan which i also imagine is against their nature so I am in a sort of imaginational conflict and need help, bear with me)

Virginia's General Assembly started over Wednesday and, like a hinky computer that a reboot fails to fix, remained stuck.
Thus begins an article that chronicles the start of the special session of the Virginia Legislature that Governor Mark Warner ordered because of the inability for the two chambers of the legislature to come to terms that, well... Yes, Virginia, the state is broke. Actually, the remarkable thing about this turn of events is despite the recalcitrance of the House of Delegates, which is populated with Stephen Moore/Grover Norquist acolytes, all sides have resigned themselves to raising some form of taxes. In fact, to spite the business community who endorsed Governor Warner's call for income and sales tax hikes, this same House went out of its way to make sure the business community felt the brunt in their plans to hike taxes, something Republicans have long since evangelized against. (I guess I should have begun by stating that both chambers of are Virginia legislature is controlled by Republicans. Mark Warner, governor of Virginia is a Democrat.)
They have until June to come up with a budget plan before the state could be forced to shut down. However, local county governments which are subsidized heavily by the state, thanks in part to the partial repeal of the personal property tax, need to know what will happen before hand so they can craft their budgets. Plus Wall Street is incredibly nervous, and my downgrade the state's credit rating because of this budget uncertainty.

Manchester House restaurant enters administration
The company announced today (9 October) that administrators Duff & Phelps have been appointed following a period of "difficult trading".
Both sites appear to have closed, and their websites have been taken down.
"Trading at Artisan and Manchester House Bar and Restaurant has been much lower over the summer, and like many other restaurants, we have struggled with balancing rising costs and high rents, together with localised access difficulties," says Jeremy Roberts, CEO of Living Ventures Group.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank our brilliant and hardworking teams; we are currently contacting all affected employees and looking into available roles in other parts of the Group."
Manchester House launched as a £3m project in 2013, headed up by chef Aiden Byrne. It was long-tipped to win a Michelin star, but never received the award.
Byrne stepped down from the restaurant to join D&D London last year, with his protégé Nathaniel Tofan promoted to head chef.
Living Ventures opened Artisan in a 12,000 sq ft space in Manchester's Spinningfields in 2013.
The group says its remaining sites continue to trade as normal.
It says anyone with reservations at Artisan and Manchester House will be contacted and offered alternative options at one of the other restaurants in the group.
Gift cards issued by Artisan or Manchester House will be redeemable at Australasia Restaurant until 31 March 2019.

Construction is underway on a memorial to mark the spot in St Margaret's where an American bomber plane crash landed during the Second World War.
The crash, from which the eight crew members of the B-17 miraculously came out unscathed, happened on the afternoon of January 8, 1945.
Returning from a mission over Germany and suffering from engine failure, the bomber was brought down by the pilot in Nelson Park just before 2pm.
Brian Cole, 73, member of the St Margaret's Historical Society and the man organising the memorial's creation, has a personal connection to the event.
His father, who was an ARP (air raid protection) warden and lived nearby, was the first on the scene, rushing over immediately upon hearing the noise.
"He was quite surprised to see the pilot and all the crew come out," said Mr Cole.
"They all came into my house for tea apparently, while next door called headquarters to send out a dispatch to pick them up."
The son of the plane's upper turret gunner came to visit the area a few years ago and from there the idea originated of creating a marker of where the bomber landed, along with a bronze plaque containing the names of the crew members.
Having been granted planning permission, locals have volunteered their services to bring help create the one-metre tall memorial, which will sit on the edge of Station Road and Nelson Park Road.
Construction firm director Nigel Claringbould saw to it that the foundations were dug out and concrete poured and builder John Ford is also pitching in to help.
"Everybody I've spoken to seems to be very enthusiastic about it, I was surprised how much, really." said Mr Cole.
He hopes after a hiatus in construction over winter, the memorial will be ready to unveil in time for next summer but to make sure everything goes ahead, the Historical Society is hoping to raise £400.
If you would like to donate towards the memorial, you can email Brian Cole at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A scope of "NEC 2017 Article 706.1" is ESS over 50Vac(60Vdc).
On the other hand, NEC 2017 Article 490 is a general requirements for the system over 1000V.
So, I wonder if ESS is also covered by article 490.
For example) For PV system, Article 690.7 says to follow article 490 if the maximum votlage is over 1000V. On the other hand, I cannot find the similar expression in article 706.
+ Additional question;
- If the maximum system voltage is over 1000Vdc in ESS, are there additional requirements?
Thank you!!

A joint study by the Higher Education Policy Institute and Kaplan International Pathways Study show international students contribute £20bn to UK economy…reports Asian Lite News
International students bring a net benefit of £20.3 billion to the UK economy, a joint study by the Higher Education Policy Institute and Kaplan International Pathways has found.
The new report will force Prime Minister Theresa May's stand on international students coming to Britain. There are about 438,000 foreign students currently studying in the UK.
Universities have warned that classing the students as long-term migrants is deterring young people from coming to Britain to study and damaging its successful higher education sector. The government is facing a defeat in the forthcoming immigration bill as most of the cabinet and MPs are supporting the campaign to remove students from the net migration data.
"I welcome this timely report from the Higher Education Policy Institute," said Liberal Democrat Leader Vince Cable. "This is a battle I fought for five years in government with Theresa May.
"All her cabinet colleagues seem now to realise there is a need to remove students from the immigration figures, but still nothing changes.
"The Conservatives are pursuing economic self-harm through harsh visa restrictions.
"International students enrich our economy and society and Liberal Democrats will continue defending their rights to study here."

Today was a hard day for me. I was having trouble dealing with an ex who won't let the past go. The difficult part about it is that I have to see him every day. It has been several months since I ended it, but the entire situation seems to be dragging out. Seeing him every day and having him and his friends invalidate the things that happened to me causes me lots of pain (I will make another post detailing the situation in the future). I left school today feeling distraught and used up. I needed to take my mind off of things. My current boyfriend phoned me and we decided to go on a bike ride in the park. This is something we do on the regular, but I think that it is easier to appreciate nature on certain days than it is on others. Riding into the woods I felt the cool breeze on my face and the wind in my hair. I stood up on my bike just to feel like I was flying. The scent of rain reminded me that I am a part of this world like the trees are. Just being outside allowed me to be more mindful. I know that this was a short post, but I think that a huge part of being mindful is being in nature. We shouldn't forget about the Earth and how it gives us life. Sometimes, the simplest things can bring us the most peace of mind.

The first of our monthly book recommendations. The MIROnline team have chosen the books they are most enjoying this month.
"Tells stories of the refugees in Calais and those working and involved in The Jungle. Using fiction rather than reportage this collection opens our eyes to the breadth of people impacted, while keeping the reader engaged in the stories and the characters." - Alison Hitchcock
"The narrator's voice is funny and awkward, naive and self-conscious at the same time, it wins you over from the first page. The book follows the classical quest/life novel structure, but the story is sort of odd. Gustavo Sanchéz Sanchéz wants to replace his crooked teeth and have a perfect smile. In order to do that he has to become an auction caller and sell his most valuable possession: a collection of teeth which once belonged to famous thinkers." - Paola Moretti

I was lying in bed one day, thinking about my death, wondering if I'd be conscious enough to talk to my children, what I'd want to leave to them; famous last words, as it were. The key word is trust. Trust everything that happens in life, even those experiences that cause pain will serve to better you in the end. It's easy to lose the inner vision, the greater truths, in the face of tragedy. There really is no such thing as suffering simply for the sake of suffering. Along with developing a basic trust in the rhyme and reason of life itself, I advise you to trust your intuition. It is a far better guide in the long run than your intellect. Next on my list is to learn what love is. It is complete and utter surrender. That's a big word, surrender. It doesn't mean letting people walk all over you, take advantage of you. It's when we surrender control, let go of our egos, that all the love in the world is there waiting for us. Love is not a game, it's a state of being. ~Henry Miller
in the midst of so much turmoil, we sift through our own layers first, and ask, how have we been blind? how can we step into discomfort in a mindful way?
inquiry for today~ who are you without your tight values? can you step in to your day with conversation that deepens connection rather than your own comfort?
Your life will have a kind of perfection, although you will not be a saint. The perfection will consist in this; you will be very weak and you will make many mistakes; you will be awkward, for you will be poor in spirit and hunger and thirst for justice. You will not be perfect, but you will love. This is the gate and the way. There is nothing greater than love. There is nothing more true than love, nothing more real. So let us hand our lives over to love and seal the bond of love. ~Eberhold Arnold

Hollyoaks: Warren returns to steal Sienna's baby as Nico reveals she's pregnant
Jamie Lomas makes surprise cameo as Sienna loses both her twins
Warren Fox has made a brief return to Hollyoaks to steal his son Sebastian from Sienna Blake, tricking his ex during a showdown with her daughter Nico on the hospital roof – and did we mention back-from-the-dead Nico is heavily pregnant?
In yet more sensational twists in the Sienna storyline during tonight's E4 episode, fans were reeling from Friday's cliffhanger that revealed Sienna had faked her death to entrap serial killer daughter Nico – herself presumed dead for the last 18 months – on the day of her 'funeral', ending in a confrontation on the hospital roof when the terrifying teen abducted her baby brother Sebastian.
- British Soap Awards shortlist revealed
- Hollyoaks: Adam forced to kill Zack by Glenn? Jimmy Essex interview
But no sooner had Sienna revealed her death had been a set-up with copper Josh Bradley to make Nico think she'd murdered her mum to lure her out of hiding so she could be arrested, Nico then revealed a rather large baby bump before another jaw-dropping shock was delivered in the shape of Sienna's ex Warren Fox turning up on the roof, six months after he vanished with his daughter, Sebastian's twin, Sophie.
Trying to get Nico to hand herself in, Sienna was distracted by Warren's reappearance as he persuaded her to leave damaged Nico behind and bring Sebastian to Spain to join him and Sophie so the four of them could be a family again.
Eventually choosing Warren, torn Sienna was distracted as jealous Nico lashed out at her mum for her decision and tried to push her off the roof – at which point Foxy revealed it was all a trick and he stole Sebastian and made a run for it.
Running into her own wake, much to the confusion of the mourners, frantic Sienna begged for help to find Warren as the truth about her apparent passing emerged, but when she eventually caught up with her ex it was too late and she wept as he drove off with her baby son – meaning Ms Blake has now lost both her twins.
Jamie Lomas, aka Warren, left the show last autumn and Hollyoaks had kept his return under wraps, but is that really the last we've seen of Warren? And with Nico now hiding out at her mother's flat, what will the killer teenager's next move be?

Winter storm warning issued for northern high Sierra, with snow of up to 3 feet
A "winter-like" storm persisting into Thursday could splash up to 3 inches of rain on the North Bay and Santa Cruz mountains while leaving the roadways in the Sierra hazardous through early Friday due to heavy snowfall, officials said.
The National Weather Service Sacramento office issued a winter storm warning to last from midnight Thursday through 6 a.m. Friday in regions above 6,000 feet because "significant snowfall" is expected to blanket higher elevations in the northern Sierra Nevada and Mt. Lassen areas. Total snow accumulation was forecast for 12 to 18 inches with up to 3 feet possible in some spots.
Officials said the storm likely will cover roadways in snow and diminish visibility, and they warned motorists against traveling while the warning is in effect. Another storm system is expected to roll through regions between 5,500 and 6,500 feet on Saturday, officials said.
"With it being the middle of May, we typically do not see systems occur this late in the year," said Scott Rowe, a National Weather Service meteorologist. "We'll be keeping an eye on daily rainfall records that may be in jeopardy."
Most cities will see up to an inch of rainfall throughout the rest of the week, but even that amount means the storm could create one of the wettest Mays in recent history.
San Francisco usually receives 0.7 inches of rain during May, according to the National Weather Service. As of just before 7 p.m. on Wednesday, San Francisco recorded 0.08 inches of rain in the past 24 hours alone, according to a National Weather Service precipitation summary.
This week's storm is expected to spread moisture all over the Bay Area, with a slight chance of thunderstorms predicted for Thursday morning as cool air rises into the atmosphere. Officials said small hail also was a possibility.
The storm more closely resembles weather patterns from February, because of the strength of the system.
"Imagine wringing out a sponge up a mountain," Rowe said.
A break from rain is expected Friday afternoon, but officials said the respite won't last long, with another storm slated for Saturday.
While the weekend rainfall is not expected to be as heavy as Thursday's, forecasters said the worst of the precipitation will hit the North Bay mountains.
San Francisco received 23.78 inches of rain between July 2018 and May, compared to 17.93 inches during the same time period the prior year, according to the National Weather Service.
In the Sierra, the wet weather resembles more of a strange spring storm series than a winter wonderland, officials said.
Both storms are expected to bring a light powder to the Sierra, where slick roads may affect travel, following light rain showers Thursday morning. A winter storm warning has been issued and snow is likely to fall above 7,000 feet.
Starting Thursday night, all mountain passes could receive several inches of snow. Forecasts predict snow flurries as low as 6,000 feet, but it is not likely to stick to the ground.
"It's not that rare to get snow to fall but with this pattern that we're in, these are well-below temperatures, 15 to 20 degrees below the average this time of year," said Evan LaGuardia, a National Weather Service meteorologist.
Unsettled weather is expected to persist through early next week, with a possible third storm on the way Monday afternoon.
