At first glance, the Mysore classes on our schedule might look like two or three hour-long classes that only the most intense yogis could stand! In reality, Mysore classes allow you to drop in for as little as 30 minutes during the class time if that's what you need that day, and practices are made accessible to you regardless of your level of mobility and experience. Learn more about this often misunderstood yoga style in an interview with Hannah H., a long-time practitioner of Mysore yoga under Marie Belle's guidance at Yoga District H Street.
Q: How would you describe the program to someone who doesn't know about it?
A: It is an individual practice in a group setting. You first start with sun salutes, then a set of standing postures, then to the primary series, and finally a set of closing postures. The sequence is self-led so you work at your own pace and Marie Belle gives personalized adjustments.
Sometimes the amount and complexity of postures can be intimidating to newcomers but the way Marie Belle teaches this class makes it very accessible. You can be there for 30 minutes or 1 hour, depending on what you're looking for that day.
Q: What benefits have you experienced?
A: Mentally: waking up early in the morning and doing a very physical and sweaty practice leaves me more alert and aware for rest of the day.
Physically: this style of yoga helps you to build strength in the area you need it and flexibility in the areas that are needed. Also, you notice benefits of it more quickly because you are practicing daily and practicing the same sequence of postures daily. This is really empowering and brings you back to your mat each day.
Q: What is the community like?
A: You see the same faces on a consistent basis. You are able to see changes in yourself day to day and notice others getting something they've been working on and sometimes cheer each other on. We're all there working towards a similar goal, nurturing and focusing on a particular posture until you get it and it helps to have everyone there on a similar path.
Q: What is Marie Belle like?
A: She is very articulate and precise with her cues. The way she explains things, it just clicks. She gives great physical adjustments that may seem small but allow you to experience the posture more deeply, "it's like opening a window." I think her personalized attention brings people back.
If you're working on something in particular she's always there to you help you through it and if you have a limitation she is great at helping figure out what will work with your body, and creating a tailored solution to fit your needs.
She is very warm and welcoming and greets you with a big smile and a hug. She really cares about each student, asking you how you feel, and what's happening in your body that day. When she offers an adjustment she is present with you and wants to know how it feels.
I just bought 10 yo classes. Could I take mysore? If yes, where and when?
I am beginner yoga.

With the introduction of technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), mobile apps and more, the business functions of government are becoming more automated. While fears of machines taking over the world -- or at least our jobs -- are unfounded, the type of work government employees will be doing is changing dramatically. Additionally, there is a huge learning curve needed for employees to adopt these technologies to ensure they live up to their promise of greater efficiency and cost savings. The common denominator for managing all of this change? Training.
In a recent survey, 43 percent of Federal IT professional respondents said that one of the reasons their IT environments were not optimized to meet current demands was insufficient investment in training. Organizations need to take full advantage of budgeted education stipends to get holistic training for management and employees to ensure they get the most out of their technology investment. Investing more in training up front can save money down the road by avoiding the need to re-tool or even scrap systems to better fit the skill sets of the workforce. Continue reading

Dress: ASOS Maternity Shoes: Zara Clutch: Saint Laurent {similar} Sunnies: Forever 21 {similar} Necklace: J.Crew
I'm taking a break from overloading you with maxi dresses and decided to wear this shorter dress instead. I wore this dress for our "Farewell Party". 🙁 It was the perfect dress for making food, moving around, carrying Austin, and keeping cool in a house full of adults and kiddos. And I had to make sure the little guy matched me with some blue and tribal print as well. 🙂 It's crazy to think that we've hardly packed anything up and we're leaving in 2 weeks. (Thank goodness for packers and movers that will do it all for us!) Trying to figure out the logistics of this move is a nightmare as there will be many nights we will be without cars, our stuff, and beds to sleep on. We're really trying to soak up these last few days in Kansas City as we hang out with our closest friends, visit our favorite restaurants, and go to the local hot spots. If anyone has tips on moving with a toddler or just how to make moving to a new city in general just a little bit easier, I will take the advice!

Get On the Tancred Hype Train
It seems that the hype train for Maine based artist Tancred is leaving the station so I better get on board before it's too late. For me, it's easy to like an artist who combines pieces of straight forward grunge rock with gritty, yet still refined vocals. Imagine if bands like Joy Formidable and Garbage blended only their best qualities equally to create a female fronted rock opus. That's what you'll find with this new single called "Something Else". Seriously, what's not to like about this?
Tancred will release new album Nightstand on June 1st via Polyvinyl.

Ridge Augmentation
Online Dental Education Library
Dr Bidgoli's practice is limited to Endodontics. Dr. Bidgoli performs both simple and complex endodontic procedures, which include Root Canal Therapy, Retreatment, and Endodontic surgery. To help you understand your options, descriptions of some of our procedures are on this page. If you have questions or need to contact us.
If you lose one or more permanent teeth, an indentation may result in the gums and jawbone where the tooth used to be. When no longer holding a tooth in place, the jawbone recedes and the resulting indentation looks unnatural. Ridge augmentation is a procedure that can recapture the natural contour of the gums and jaw. A new tooth can then be created that is natural looking and complements your smile.

Local groups exchange ideas for the regeneration of the former Chocolate Factory site in Greenbank
Generator South West LLP has embarked upon a programme of community consultation events to capture the ideas of the Greenbank residents - as well as the wider Bristol community - on their plans to redevelop the former Elizabeth Shaw Chocolate Factory site.
Interested local groups, including local planning group Chocbox 2.0, were invited to participate in a workshop event at the Easton Community Centre on Friday 13th June, where a number of local groups discussed their aspirations and priorities for the derelict site, which has been the subject of a number of failed redevelopment proposals in the past.
The workshop event followed an ideas-gathering exercise earlier this year, to which Generator invited the entire local community to submit their ideas for the site via their website. These ideas formed the basis of the discussion at Friday's workshop event.
Generator has been encouraged by the range of positive ideas and suggestions received so far and will now proceed to work up design proposals which balance the community's aspirations with the commercial constraints that this long-derelict site presents.
A further event is planned for July, to which the entire local residential community will be invited to have their say on plans, which will now be worked-up in conjunction with architectural practice Architecture 519 following the recent ideas-gathering phase and workshop event.
Tom Morrissey, Senior Development Manager at Generator South West LLP said:
"We really enjoyed listening to the ideas and ambitions of the local community for the site at the workshop event on Friday. It's clear that there are many local people who are passionate about seeing this site redeveloped to become a real asset to the local community."
"The next stage for us is to go away and come back with the best possible scheme to balance the aspirations of the local community with commercial constraints, finally kick-starting the long awaited regeneration of this iconic site."
"We look forward to speaking to local people in around a month's time with some firm ideas and remain committed to continuing the conversation with various interested local groups who wish to be involved in the process."

Enter rawTherapeeI have to confess that as a Computer Scientist I am devoted to open source software since its first beginnings. I still remember when I ordered, via Byte (the magazine), a tape full of every thing for 10$ (plus 40$ for shipping) directly from the GNU (at the time in person as Richard Stallman: RMS) , it was the 1986. My usual operating system has been Unix, HP/UX and then Linux.
As a photographer I had a split personality, in terms of software. For my pictures I have had to resort to MS Windows and Adobe software. The main reason was the lack of a decent CMS (Color Management System) for Linux. Recently I started to use argyll with my "eye-one display 2". It works pretty nice and given the display architecture of Linux the benefits of a calibrated monitor are available to any software package (even if not color managed).
But a CMS is not itself enough. A photographer needs to process his/her images. For computer graphics I usually work with gimp (for buttons, icons et similia). But I do not like to use it for my pictures. Mainly for its RGB orientation. I got used to work out my pictures in LAB. The separation of the luminosity layer from the color ones is for me a necessity.
Last year several RAW processors become available for Linux as a viable tool. RAW processing is present on linux since a long time with dcraw. Unfortunately when it comes to photography my personal need is to forget that I am an hardcore technician so I need as much as every other photographer something to work with and forget about.
Some weeks ago, having finally calibrated my linux display (i still have some issues with the black point), I decided to give to one of the evaluated programs, RawTherapee, a serious try.
The program has almost averything one needs, almost, cause it lacks some very important ones. I won't write down a list of interesting features. If you are interested have a look by yourself, one of the interesting things in open source is that you can experiment as long as you want without having to pay. Insetead I going to display what is seriously missing.
- Color samplers. A photo, from a formal point, could be considered as a set of color and luminosity constraints. Colors samplers let you organize the constraints between the parts of the image. The more the better.
- Curves for colors and a way to set a point onto the curve by means of cliking on a point of the image (command click in PS). Simultaneous curves for diverse color spaces (RGB LAB and CMYK) could be the optimum as in CurveMeister for PS.
- Channel operations and surgery. As Apply image or Calculations in PS. Channel operations in RGB and LAB mode are very powerful. See Dan Margulis for a good explanation on this.
- Horizontal and Vertical perspective correction. Distortion, rotaiton and CA correction are in place. Here the ideal solution would be to give the option to interface an external program like PTlens (available on linux) that I like a lot and is well automated for lens distortion correction.
- Consistency in numbering. If there is a luminosity channel and an A and B channel it is useful to have a corresponding LAB lecture, currently the values displayed are RGB. It is a bit of a guess to find the correct luminance position in the related curve . In PS, do not know in RawTherapee, the LAB luminosity channel is not a linearly derived form the RGB channels hence the difficult projection. By the way a nice thing to have could be to use the same scales as PS in numbering, even if they are not so correct.
- Masking. At least for sharpening. Scaling is on the rough side.

Charities warn of rising anxiety among 1,600 dispersed young people amid reports of lack of information from authorities
Three 16-year-olds from Afghanistan have begun a hunger strike in France in protest at the slow process of being reunited with their families in the UK, according to a refugee legal organisation.
Three weeks after the demolition of the Calais camp, several charities say there is rising anxiety among the 1,600 children and young people who were dispersed to disused elderly people's homes and youth hotels across France without being given information about their future.
The Red Cross and Save the Children have called on the Home Office to urgently provide basic information to children and French hostel staff about the expected timescale for processing applications to come to the UK.
The three boys from Afghanistan who are on hunger strike have been trying to get permission to join relatives in the UK for several months, and had been living in tents in Calais for more than six months, according to Laura Griffiths, a senior field manager for Safe Passage UK. "It is a sign of their desperation at being forgotten," she said. The organisation was in regular contact with the boys since they stopped eating last week and was trying to convince them to stop the protest, she said.

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." –Albert Einstein

Freshwater Hot Spots
TROUT: Trout season is in full swing across Southern California urban lakes getting private plants. Top picks for this week continue to be Dixon Lake, Wohlford, and Jennings in San Diego County, Apollo Park Lake in Lancaster, Santa Ana River Lakes in Orange County, and all the San Bernardino County park lakes (Glen Helen, Cucamonga-Guasti, Yucaipa, Prado, and Mojave Narrows) which get plants weekly now. Other waters good in San Diego County included Cuyamaca and Santee Lakes. A sleeper pick, better than many local urban waters, is the trout action in the Colorado River near Bullhead City. Limits of one-pound class fish have been pretty common. In the Sierra, the upper Owens winter catch-and-release bite has broken wide open on big fish running up out of Crowley. For anglers who like wild fish, this is the top pick. Big Bear Lake also has a pretty darn good winter bite for bank anglers with several fish to 4 pounds reported again this week and lots of limits.
BLACK BASS: The action is finally slowing at many waters, but it is still fair to good other places. The best bites are now on drop-shot plastics during the middle part of most days. Top bets continue to be Lower Otay, Castaic, Pyramid, El Capitan, San Vicente, Diamond Valley, and Skinner. On the Colorado River, the bites are starting to pick back up after more than a week of warm weather. Top bet is the lower river backwaters with the low water forcing the fish out of the tules. Havasu and Mohave are also improving. Smallmouth have been fair in the lower Colorado River, but there is just no fishing pressure.
STRIPED BASS: The striper action was generally just fair this past week, with a couple of exceptions. Skinner is the top pick with a lot of small fish and a few bigger, especially if you dip life shad. Pyramid, Castaic, Silverwood, and Diamond Valley are slower than Skinner, but Pyramid and Castaic are still fair and DVL has been producing a lot of bigger fish. It is a sleeper pick for a big fish. Best bets are still swimbaits, trolled flies, umbrella rigs, jigging spoons, and — of course — the usual array of baits, especially lug and blood worms. The California aqueduct near Taft is still fair on frozen sardines and Gitzits. The Colorado River's Lake Havasu and Lake Mohave are both fair. Lots of small stripers in the river between Davis Dam and Topoc Gorge. This stretch of the river is getting weekly trout plants and the big stripers are taking advantage of the feed.
PANFISH: The bluegill and redear bites are slow across the board now. Even Murray and Lower Otay which had continued to produce a few fish are pretty much shut down now. A few big redear continue to show from Havasu in deep water on nightcrawlers, but few other reports.
CATFISH: Overall, the catfish bites have slowed way down across the region, but getting very little fishing pressure so the action is hard to gauge. Catfish anglers should focus on Skinner, El Capitan, San Vicente, the California aqueduct below Quail Lake, Quail Lake itself, Lower Otay, Pyramid, and Isabella. The lower Colorado River has also slowed way down as water levels drop, but there is very light fishing pressure.

I never would have imagined that casual playground conversations with total strangers, neighbors I've known for 5 minutes, could quickly turn to personal, and may I say, intimate, topics. There we are one second, discussing teething woes and sleep habits, and the next I'm asked to divulge the innermost workings of my sex life. In a casual way, though, because apparently that's not taboo. This particular case was a stay-at-home dad, who of course was in shock when I told him that my two girls are 15 months apart in age.
"Wow! So, you just got at it right away, huh?!"
(…Yes, sir. We… did). "Um, yeah…! They're a lot of fun!"
"You figured you'd just get all the hard stuff over with at once?"
(I'm envisioning that many more years of fertility will mean many more years of this "hard stuff"). "I guess so…?"
At this point, I figured he was done with the inquisition of my very personal family planning history and possible future, but nay.
"So, two girls? And Dad's ok with that??"
(Well, you know, I really tried to make it a boy, but, wouldn't ya know? Didn't work!) "Yeah, he loves them! We definitely want some boys, but for now we're just good at girls, it seems!"
And then, thankfully, my oldest decided it was time to head home for lunch.
I shouldn't really be surprised by this variation on a theme that plays out in multiple conversations I have with other parents, all total strangers. No one ever has any qualms jumping right to these intimate questions, about family size, when we'll be "done", why we had children so close, so soon, and now apparently, even our children's gender, as if that's something we can control, too. But in a culture where children are seen by most people as an accessory, the next "thing" you do as a responsible, debt-free, home-owning, dog-owning, two-income couple, why shouldn't we talk about them as things? When couples can turn off the woman's fertility at will, and then assume they have the power to turn it back on, why shouldn't we talk openly about when, how, and why we want to space our possible children? With total strangers.
Never was I intending to open fire on his lifestyle choices: why does your wife work instead of you? Was your career not lucrative enough? Are you wife? No. Because that is his life, and I literally have no say or stake in it, nor do I want to pry into his personal business. I don't have that right. It never fails to amaze me that people have so utterly lost the art of polite conversation, and have no problem letting themselves into the privacy of your marriage unasked.
I know that living in an upper-middle class, mostly white neighborhood, I will continue to have this conversation on repeat. Except it will probably get weirder as I have more and more children. What's "cute" or "fringe" right now to people will probably look downright ridiculous a few kids later. It's a small price to pay to witness to the inherent goodness of life, but it is a price. It requires getting over what people think, smiling and gritting your teeth at the approximately 1,000th rendition of, "You've got your hands full!", and calmly and happily admitting that YES, you will have more, NO, you're not done, YES, it's a lot of work, and definitely, YES, better you than they. If people are going to ask ridiculous, intrusive questions, they are going to get the truth. But they are going to get it with a smile, because I want them to know that I chose this willingly, and believe it or not, I like it. And then I will kindly point them to this article, so they know that my 2 small fry are a drop in the bucket compared to this awesome family, who are also, against all odds, enjoying life too.

Hi there! Today we are going to talk about part two of my meal planning strategy- the actual grocery store trip! Catching up? Check out Part I: Before the Grocery Store!
Although most of us spend quite a bit of time in them, grocery stores can be overwhelming and scary places! I know I am of the minority when I profess my love for grocery shopping. Tiffany's is to Holly Golightly what grocery stores are to me 🙂 I grew up with a mom who despised grocery shopping (and still does I think!), so I understand the pain of those of you who side with my mom. Here's hoping a little guidance and streamlining will help ease the pain… 🙂
The first two steps are the most crucial! If you remember nothing else from this post, remember these rules:
1. ALWAYS go grocery shopping armed with a list! (see Part I)
2. NEVER go grocery shopping on anything less than a satisfied stomach!
(I have slipped up on these two steps before and next thing you know you're standing in the checkout lane with double your $$grocery budget$$, ten empty sample cups, and a hodgepodge of items! Not good for the wallet, the waistline, or the meal planning.)
Once you are prepared and properly fueled, you are ready to execute your plan. So grab your imaginary cart and let's go on a virtual grocery store tour…
I always start with produce mainly because of the natural flow of most stores AND to fill my cart with the good stuff first! Aside from what's on my list, this is what I look for…
– Whatever fruit is on sale for snacks. There is always something on sale! I get enough for at least 1 serving per day per person.
– Citrus for green juice and for flavoring dinners.
– Carrots/celery for snacking and adding cheap nutrition to various meals.
– Avocados for salads, sandwiches, eggs, and the inevitable Mexican night!
– Fresh greens (kale, salad greens, chard, etc.) if we don't have a garden bounty.
– Anything else on sale/that looks good!
Next I move on to the middle of the store. I usually breeze through these aisles pretty quickly, trying to stick with just items on my list. The middle of the grocery store is the place that causes the most "off the list"/impulse buy/junk food trouble for me! Those darn food marketers…
Popular middle aisle necessities include…
– A quick stop in the meat department for the occasional fish. (technically not in the middle)
– Whole wheat or quinoa pasta, canned tomatoes, chips for JWD, nut butter, bars, and cereal.
– Any extras like sparkling water, crackers, hot sauce, coffee, trail mix.
This is one of my favorite features and the primary reason I go to Whole Foods! I load up on old-fashioned oats, beans, lentils, grains, nuts, and anything else needed for the upcoming week's recipes.
This is the last stop!
– Frozen greens for green juices (much cheaper than buying all fresh!) and frozen fruit for smoothies.
– Sometimes a frozen pizza if one is on sale and it is going to be one of those weeks (I know you know the kind I'm talking about).
– Almond/soy milks (usually 2 half-gallons), tofu, tempeh, Food For Life bread, yogurts (one Greek, one regular), cheese (slices for JWD and something tangy for my lunch salads), and hummus.
*Note: We buy a dozen eggs every week from a small grocery store that stocks local eggs. We think it's worth the extra trip!
I take a minute to recheck my list that I have been crossing off as I go to make sure all needed items made their way into the cart.
And that's a wrap! Time to pay! We have a set grocery budget and I've gotten pretty good at eyeballing the cart and staying within our budget.
Now it's time to haul it all home… stay tuned for more!
Thanks for reading 🙂

WADA have voted to reinstate the Russian doping agency for the first time since 2015. Russian athletes will once more be able to compete for their country while the national anti-doping agency will be able to test its own athletes. Whilst WADA confirmed the majority of the committee had agreed on the decision, the Russian agency must abide by strict conditions including access to the Moscow lab. Should these conditions not be met, the governing body would be free to reinstate the ban. The UK and US anti-doping agencies have pleaded for WADA to re-examine their decision while the IAAF and International Paralympic Committee have notified Russia that they should not expect all bans to be dropped instantly.
WADA President, Sir Craig Reedie: "Today, the great majority of WADA's ExCo decided to reinstate RUSADA as compliant with the Code subject to strict conditions, upon recommendation by the Agency's independent CRC and in accordance with an agreed process. (1/2)

F1 have taken further steps to move away from the Bernie Ecclestone era by relaxing their attitude towards gambling sponsorships and striking a deal with Interregional Sports Group (ISG), a Marketing Agency in London who have previously worked with Serie A and La Liga. The deal, said to be worth $100 million, allows the group worldwide rights to gambling sponsorship within the sport over the next five years. Gambling brands will now have the opportunity to promote themselves trackside as well as on-screen graphics during TV broadcasts. The news comes amid growing concern that more and more children are exposed to gambling on a regular basis.

UEFA have announced they are jumping on the streaming bandwagon and will be releasing their own OTT streaming service to give more air time to less saturated sports such as women's football and futsal. Chief Marketing Director, Guy Laurent-Epstein, made it clear that they would not be competing against television broadcasters but rather giving more coverage to other sports as well as giving more exposure to the 55 federations that fall under UEFA.
Not only is the @UEFA creating a new #streamingTV platform, but they are using it to shine a brighter light on women's football teams! https://t.co/vtyLplDW3x

As Richard Scudamore's time at the Premier League draws to a close, speculation has begun as to who will replace him. The 59 year old has been praised over the years for his inclusion of broadcasters such as Sky and more recently BT and Amazon, who have allowed the Premier League to give more money to clubs to spend on grounds, players and coaches. According to a Daily Mail report, Tony Blair has been tipped as a possibility while other names being circulated are BT chief, Gavin Patterson and Sky Sports Managing Director, Barney Francis.
???? "Do we want someone as duplicitous and disingenuous as Tony Blair heading up the Premier League?"
???? "The idea of politicians in sport is something I find repellent."
???? @SJOpinion10 REALLY does not like the idea of Tony Blair becoming the chairman of the Premier League… pic.twitter.com/2QfS027NlI

Tobu World Square 東武ワールドスクウエア
Around the world in 80 minutes
All you globe trotters, the Tobu World Square is for you! Indeed, this theme park offers you the chance to admire the replicas of 102 wonders of world from 21 countries. Among these monuments, 45 are listed as World Heritage sites by Unesco.
The reproductions are 1 / 25th miniature in scale, which makes some of them still very impressive in size. For example, the Tokyo Skytree, which first appeared in the park in 2010, measures no less than 26 meters high!
Opened in 1993, this park north of Tokyo, in the prefecture of Tochigi, near Nikko, required five years of work at a cost of 14 million yen. This is not nothing for this kind of museum.
I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list
In Tobu World Square, monuments, and other sites are grouped in 6 different zones.
Japan is bound to be honored; it is even represented in two different areas. One area looks at the different historical heritage sites Japan has to offer (many religious buildings such as Kinkaku-ji (金 閣 寺), while the other area presents modern Japan where one can find Tokyo Tower and Skytree.
No fewer than 13 buildings from virtually all of New York represent the United States, including the infamous Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.
Ancient Egypt also has its own area with the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx and the temple of Abu Simbel.
Finally, the rest of Asia and Europe occupy the last two areas. One can regret the absence of Latin America. But we will console ourselves with the Great Wall of China, Angkor Wat, or even thirty European gems including the Eiffel Tower, the Sagrada Familia and the Parthenon.
Seeing is believing
Besides the amount of monuments, it is the richness of detail, the amount of characters present and harmony of the sites in their environments that makes Tobu World Park worth the trip. Indeed, all these elements provide a stunning realism to the whole park. Watch these little travelers on the forecourt of Tokyo Station, or those politicians and other journalists on the steps of the Diet (Japanese Parliament). You could spend hours there. The details of the street and setting are spectacular!
Finally, note that is an 8-minute walk from the park's famous hot spring of Kinugawa (鬼怒川 温泉), a good way to relax after a trip around the world!

Masters in Canada how to ?

How to proceed for higher studies i.e masters in Canada?
ChristineJoseph last edited by
Hey Prateek,
Applying for masters in Canada might seem like a complicated task but it is not impossible. After you have your competitive exam scores in hand, the first step in proceeding towards studying in Canada would be shortlisting universities and programs that pique your interest and checking the requirements for the particular course. While not all universities require GRE/GMAT, it is advised to attempt it. And choosing the right university and program can be very tricky. So it's always better to get help from a counselor who can guide you through the whole process. You could contact iSchoolConnect at(https://ischoolconnect.com/contact-us) to get more help on the issue.

In my school, each elementary grade level has access to a cart of 30-35 student iPads. While each teacher could sign out the entire contents of the cart, most have chosen to have their own set of 5 iPads to use as a center in their classroom. In this configuration, they would like to be able to configure their set of 5 with the apps that were downloaded/purchased from the cart according to their own style.
This tutorial shows how to access the purchase history of the Apple ID associated with an iPad so that the teacher can pick and choose which apps they would like on their set of student iPads. Teachers can then organize/group the apps as they see fit. One example is to put certain apps into numeric groups. Then, when students are given the option to use the iPads, the teacher can specify which group of apps they may choose from (i.e. "When you go to the iPad center, you can choose any app from Group 3.").
If you have another way/idea to organize apps on student iPads then please share in the comments below.

A comedy of mistaken identity, manners and mannerisms, and affairs of the heart, this madcap play is set at a glamorous society dance in 1950s France, played out under the dazzling lights of a winter garden.
Identical twins Hugo and Frederic could not be more different; Hugo appears heartless and aloof while his brother is thoughtful and diffident. As Hugo prepares an evening of charades and facade at the Spring Ball, he little expects to be outplayed by his wily aunt, who resolves his games with unexpectedly happy results.
Written by Jean Anouilh in 1947, the play was translated and adapted by Chistopher Fry and was last seen in London's West End in 1967.

At a Royal Television Society event in February, Peter Bazalgette (formerly Creative Director of Endemol, latterly Chair of English National Opera and about to take up a new role as Chair of Arts Council England) interviewed Maria Miller MP (Secretary of State forCulture Media and Sport) about television. Miller presented a resolutely dead bat, much to the frustration of some journalists present who wanted to quiz her about the government's response to Leveson's proposal. She said kind words about the BBC but stressed the value of competition; thought television was surviving the digital change very well but indicated that she knew how much change was still to come; suggested that the introduction of local television (her predecessor's toy) would fulfill a real need and would of course provide real competition. She and Bazalgette twinkled charmingly at each other and she managed to bring questions about television from the audience to the same levels of blandness. But her comments that 'television is good for growth' and 'shows off the best of Britain' didn't suggest much commitment to psb concepts.
One moment of liveliness occurred, however, when Bazalgette asked her about her own television viewing. This is the kind of thing which has caught Ministers out in the past so Miller had her answer prepared and Borgen and Homeland featured along with Downton Abbey. She also stressed family viewing with her sons whose favourite programme is apparently Top Gear. Bazalgette picked up on this and, moving away from Miller's preferences, honed in on the children's viewing. Of course, he announced, they would be viewing with a second screen and, without waiting for confirmation, turned knowingly to the audience as if we all knew how important this was.
This little exchange brought in two motifs which have become familiar when male television writers, producers and executives talk about the future of television. Firstly, the future of television viewing can be found in the habits of 13 year-old boys. I can't count the number of times I have heard this at conferences from speakers representing the BBC, ITV and independents. The speaker refers to his young son, who of course handles the technology better than the expert speaker can, and uses him as a pattern for the shape of things to come. It is always a boy, he's always in his early teens (presumably before the surly 16 year old stops having his viewing habits picked over by Dad) and it is always assumed that his viewing behavior will remain fixed at this point in his life. As a woman in a rather different and more populous demographic this kind of casual referencing infuriates me but I have learnt that it is useless to argue against it. The future of television is apparently to be determined by this pre-Oedipal fantasy of father-son partnership.
The second motif is newer and relates to the use of the second screen on phone or tablet. It would seem that for these same television practitioners the ideal viewer is now watching television while communicating views and comments via the second screen. This is necessary so that those who've worked on the programmes being watched can see, on their third screen, how it has been received. Twitter is of course the most useful medium for this (imagine the excitement of watching your programme trending on twitter and perhaps also being the subject of Stephen Fry's wit) but other forms of social media are acceptable. This perhaps is a consequence of television's history of being watched distractedly but I doubt there is another form (theatre, cinema, music, poetry) where the makers so readily welcome the evidence of distracted attention. I am not sure they are wise to do so but then I'm still happy to do the ironing while I watch – which I guess would not appeal to 13 year old boys.
Prompted by this, though, I did decide to look at two forums hosted by The Guardian for discussion of two recent series I'd been following – Borgen and Dancing on the Edge. They were not write-as-you-watch sites but did invite pretty instant responses after viewing broadcast episodes. Both were hosted by a journalist (Vicky Frost and Jon Wilde respectively) and both invited readers to comment on an episode by episode basis. The Borgen forum had clearly been established for first series and there was a chatty sense of getting back together. Frost was a fan of Borgen and while she made some criticisms, particularly of the out of Denmark episodes, she and the contributors were generally warm in their praise. There was also a good deal of semi-joking comment about scarves, furniture, house layout and actors spotted from other Danish series.
The Dancing on the Edge forum was different in tone. This was a one off series so there was no sense of a community being reassembled with a pleasant sense of purpose. The series was created by a well-known television practitioner but from Wilde's first introduction it was clear that Poliakoff was not going to get a clear run: 'Poliakoff doesn't do fast-paced' we were told, the £8.3 million budget was signalled as requiring justification ( it 'buys a strikingly authentic wardrobe and lots of languorous shots in grand locations') and, in an interesting discussion about the authenticity of the music, Wilde expressed scepticism as to whether the two female actors playing the singers had 'any genuine feel for jazz'. As the series wound through its five episodes, Wilde's commentary became more negative, too much so for some contributors who complained that he was abusing his role. What was interesting though was the battle which took place between the detractors who were initially dominant (criticizing the acting, script, music, setting, plot in a manner which brooked little debate) and the supporters who through sheer doggedness seemed gradually to take over. Comments which had initially seemed to be heading for Pseuds Corner began to provoke debate rather than abuse as one critic commented at the beginning of a very long post on episode 5:
'Reading the more recent posts in favour of DOTE, something has just been madeclear to me and I suppose I should apologise for being so slow. When such detailedanalysis first appeared in response to earlier episodes, I thought people were justbeing pretentious or silly or sycophantic; and some of the time, I just reacted withscorn. However, I now think we are divided by something deeper, a fundamental question of aesthetics – let's call it "the intentionalist stance". . . .'
I still think that the format makes it difficult to present (or read for) a coherent argument but there was no doubt that this disagreement generated insight into particular scenes. So if you find your students are answering questions on Poliakoff by discussing the symbolism of the moment when Lady Cremore ate an artichoke in front of Jessie and Carla, then check out their (and your) interpretations on the third screen.

Replace Email, Empower Employees
Every year, 40 percent of white collar workers are spending two to three hours per day checking their email. On top of that, thousands of dollars are wasted annually by businesses as employees are increasingly spending more and more time on mundane tasks that could be automated instead of putting their manpower to better use. The result? A collective loss that reaches the billions and hurts your ability to perform at your best. Technology simply moves too fast for slow solutions; it's time for an email revolution.
In this webinar, we'll go over:
- Just how much time, energy, and resources you're wasting by relying solely on email as the main form of communication in the workplace
- Statistics from our most recent in-depth research and propose new ways for you to approach working in the modern era by using automation
In this day and age of fast paced technology, make sure you're staying ahead of the enterprise curve by using email smarter, not working harder.

For September, in which New Zealand has the presidency of the UN Security Council, the MAP provides recommendations on the situations in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, and Mali, as well as migrant smuggling and trafficking.
AfghanistanIn its consideration of the report on the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), Council members must call on the Government of Afghanistan to ensure peace and security policies address women's participation and protection and are prioritized in the country's period of transition. As peace talks resume with armed insurgent groups and the international community looks to demonstrate its continued commitment to Afghanistan following the Warsaw NATO Summit and Brussels Donor Conference, it is critical for women's voices to be included in peace and security decision-making, particularly given the sustained violence against Afghan women leaders and human rights defenders. As part of its implementation of the women, peace and security (WPS) agenda and in order to strengthen the information and analysis it is receiving on the gender dimensions of the situation, the Council should invite women civil society representatives and the Executive Director of UN-Women to brief the Council (SCR 2122 (2013), OP 1(a)(c)). Security Council members should inquire as to efforts by UNAMA to assist the government in its efforts to:
- Address the differentiated rights and concerns of women, men, girls and boys, in the context of deliberate targeting by armed groups, and further ensure women's security and freedom of movement by protecting and promoting international human rights and humanitarian law (SCR 2242 (2015));
- Ensure women's participation in all efforts to establish peace in Afghanistan, including in peace jirgas and in any negotiations with all armed groups, so as not to undermine progress made in protecting women's human rights and removing barriers to women's participation in public life;
- Support women's protection and full and equal participation in the October 2016 parliamentary elections, including by ensuring temporary female security personnel are contracted to staff polling stations and female candidates are afforded same levels of protection as their male counterparts; and
- Ensure the full implementation of the National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security (NAP) as a critical step in elevating women as full and equal partners in creating a stable future for the country.
Migrant Smuggling and TraffickingIn their discussion of the report of the Secretary-General on migrant smuggling and trafficking in Libya, as well as in any additional relevant discussion in the context of other country or thematic agenda items, it is imperative that Council members have an understanding of the way in which gender factors into individuals' experience with, and role in migrant smuggling and trafficking in order to better shape policy recommendations and interventions. Discussion and reporting should integrate gender analysis, reflecting previous Council statements regarding the particular impact of trafficking on women and girls (S/PRST/2015/25), by discussing the range of human rights abuses, including sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), experienced by migrants, as well as the ways in which women are recruited, coerced, and employed in smuggling and trafficking operations. Additionally, if the information is not provided, the Council should request specific information and analysis on the way in which women are currently participating in efforts to combat and reduce smuggling and trafficking (SCR 2106 (2013), OPs 11, 16). Further, the Council should call for explicit, detailed commitments from the UN and Member States to protect all displaced women and girls from gender-based violence, while in transit and upon reaching destinations, and, as part of a multi-sectoral approach, in consultation with women's civil society organizations, access to comprehensive reproductive health, psychosocial, legal, and other multi-sectoral services (SCR 2106 (2013) and SCR 2122 (2013)) for smuggled and trafficked women and girls. Member States should advance effective asylum and legal protection mechanisms in domestic migration management policies to mitigate the risks of women and girls to smuggling, trafficking, and SGBV, while encouraging reforms of national, gender discriminatory laws and regulations that impede women's full equality in accessing basic rights and services (SCR 2106 (2013), OP 2), including the right to confer nationality to their children and spouses.
Democratic Republic of the CongoThe Security Council is expected to consider reports on the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) and the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework Agreement in the Great Lake region (PSC). It is critical that the mission prioritizes all WPS provisions of its mandate (SCR 2277 (2016), OPs 8, 38, 50(i)), and all stakeholders should ensure that gender is mainstreamed across the implementation of the PSC. Past reporting has failed to detail mission efforts to support women and women's civil society participation in peace and security processes, and thus the Council should follow-up on any such imbalance and request that all aspects of the WPS agenda are considered and reported on equally. Security Council members should follow-up and inquire as to efforts by MONUSCO, relevant UN entities, and the relevant Framework implementation mechanism on the following:
- Measures which ensure women's full and equal participation in the strategic dialogue on MONUSCO's progressive withdrawal, as well as all disarmament, justice, and security sector reform efforts;
- Strategies which aim to protect women, men, girls and boys from SGBV, including coordinated monitoring and analysis arrangements to track SGBV, availability of comprehensive, multi-sectoral services for survivors, and deployment of women's protection advisers (WPAs);
- Efforts to engage civil society and women's organizations in monitoring and implementing the PSC Framework; and
- Status of an evaluation of the Great Lakes Women's Platform, to ensure inclusive, participative, transparent and accountable processes in the future of the platform.

Here is the finished commission (custom artwork) I did for the couple that I mentioned here.
They have a beautiful home, but they wanted more color in their living room. Her favorite flower was the Gerbera (gerber?) daisy and I agreed to do a painting of a floral arrangement. I said, since I am doing this just for you, do you want to put some meaning into it? Maybe a letter from a grandmother; photos; a memorable item; a vase? They decided on vases. The tall vase is from his grandmother, (all the way from Ireland) and the lady's head is from her mother.
They loved it!

By now you've all probably heard of the "bucket list", the top however many things a person feels they should do before they die. Some wish to travel the world, some prefer to accomplish a task, others might already have an impressive list to add to. For me it's really quite simple. I want to meet all of the authors I admire before I die. I've always been an avid reader. Some of my earliest memories are of curling up with a good book. So when I first heard of the bucket list I immediately thought of who I'd like to meet before I die.
I've been very lucky in that I live near the fourth largest city in the nation. Houston is a hub for the entertainment world whether it be Arts, Music, Theater or even Literary. In 2007 the Romantic Times convention came to town and I was able to meet great authors like Nina Bangs, Gena Showalter and Shana Abe'. In 2008 I attended the convention in Pittsburgh and met Christine Feehan and Mary Janice Davidson, among others. Laurell K. Hamilton and Patricia Briggs have also come into town and one of my all-time favorites, Stephen Lawhead, made a stop in Austin earlier this year. With those wonderful authors my list is quickly filling up, but not exactly complete. I still have quite a few to go before I meet my end.
The top of my list at this time is Stephen King. I know he is one I most likely won't ever get the chance to meet. He lives and plays in Maine. It's very far away and not a place I'll travel to in the foreseeable future, but I can dream. His son, Joe Hill (another fabulous author), will be in Austin at the World Horror Con this weekend, but my plans to go were derailed early on. Next would be Clive Barker, another unlikely one. I honestly don't even know what country he lives in but I've never heard of him traveling in Texas. Such a shame. After those two there is Frank Beddor. From everything I've read about him online, he is actually a more feasible goal. He's been to conventions before in support of his Looking Glass Wars trilogy and Hatter M comics. Now I just have to make it to the conventions myself.
On to the romance genres. Lilith Saintcrow tops my list of paranormal/urban fantasy authors. I've already met Anne Aguirre (she is awesome!) who would naturally be second. Then there is Lynsay Sands and Emma Holly. I have to admit I would probably squeal like a fangirl if I ever got to meet theses ladies and embarrass the hell out of myself. Maybe stalking them on Twitter is best for now.
That's certainly not all and the list grows every time I read a new-to-me author. So, who is on your author bucket list? Have you already made plans to meet them soon? Share in the comments below and don't worry, I won't be mad if I'm not number one 😉

SPECIAL REPORT : Part 222June 12, 2018, 10:02 pm
Indeewari Amuwatte interviewing outgoing US Ambassador Keshap. He'll be replaced by Alaina-B-Teplitz, currently US Ambassador in Kathmandu. The change takes place amidst high profile project to move US court against wartime Sri Lankan Ambassador in Washington, Jaliya Wickremasuriya. Keshap secured Sri Lanka's consent to US action recently by obtaining an assurance that Wickremasuriya would be deprived of diplomatic immunity. Wickremasuriya is in the US unable to return to Colombo.
By Shamindra Ferdinando
By Shamindra Ferdinando
US career Foreign Service Officer, Ambassador Atul Keshap, who oversaw a high-profile project to secure Sri Lanka's consent to a resolution seen by many here as anti-Sri Lankan on 'Promoting Reconciliation, Accountability and Human Rights in Sri Lanka' within two months after 2015 August parliamentary election is leaving Colombo, with the operation in the balance.
The whole exercise is in jeopardy due to treasury bond scams involving tainted primary dealer Perpetual Treasuries Limited (PTL) allegedly perpetrated in Feb 2015 and March 2016.
In a record interview @ Hyde Park with Indeewari Amuwatte, shown on Derana 24/7 recently, Keshap, at the onset of the discussion recalled his first visit to Colombo in 2006 though he didn't indicate the exact month but it was most likely to be after Aug. 2006. In his response to the opening question, Keshap recalled the grim situation in Colombo as the then Rajapaksa administration battled the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Colombo was under siege then.
The LTTE made an abortive bid in Dec 2006 to assassinate wartime Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, now front runner for Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) candidature for the 2020 presidential poll.
Family visit during war
South Asia specialist Indian-American Keshap said: "I had a great time. There were so many memories. I first came here in 2006. And I was here for a very short stay for a conference. I remember landing in Colombo, (read Bandaranaike International Airport) late at night, all the flights come at late at night and it was very dark. There were a lot of checkpoints on the streets on the way into the capital. And checking into the city very much caught in the teeth of war. I remember it was an incredibly beautiful city. In fact, I brought my family back in 2007 for a very brief vacation."
We should be glad the then New Delhi-based diplomat felt comfortable in bringing in his family here during the war.
At the time of his first visit, Keshap had been based in New Delhi as deputy political counselor (2005-2008) and certainly knew what was going on here following the Norwegian failure to prevent the LTTE resuming war.
The LTTE launched eelam war IV with large scale simultaneous assaults in the northern and eastern theaters in the second week of Aug 2006.
Keshap acknowledged that he never thought at that time he would return to Colombo as the US Ambassador. Keshap would also not have envisaged the UNP perpetrating treasury bond scams, thereby jeopardizing a meticulously worked out plan to punish Sri Lanka for crushing the LTTE militarily against the wishes of the West. Keshap leaves Colombo with the UNP in a massive political crisis with some of its lawmakers accused of financially benefiting from those who had been involved in the treasury bond scams. Last week's revelation of State Minister Sujeewa Senasinghe and disgraced CB Governor Arjuna Mahendran receiving Rs 3 mn and 3.2 mn, respectively, embarrassed the yahapalana party.
The US announced Keshap's appointment on March 26, 2015 in the wake of Michele J. Sison completing her term in Colombo in Dec 2014 ahead of the January 2015 presidential poll. The US played a significant role in the project that brought the Rajapaksa government to an end. The operation was almost similar to the one in support of war-winning Army Commander Gen. Sarath Fonseka at the January 2010 presidential poll. Fonseka lost the poll badly.
Geneva move
Keshap presented his credentials to President Maithrpala Sirisena on Aug. 21, 2015. Exactly a month later, Keshap was at the informal talks in Geneva where Sri Lanka rejected the draft resolution. The session called by the Core Group pursuing the matter obviously didn't go as panned. The group comprised the US, the UK, Montenegro and Macedonia.
The then Sri Lanka's Permanent Representative in Geneva Ambassador Ravinatha Aryasinha didn't mince his words when he quite rightly rejected the draft resolution. Sri Lanka accepted an amended resolution though it was essentially the same. The amended resolution was dated Sept. 24, 2015.
Let me reproduce verbatim the sections relating to judicial mechanism in the two draft resolutions: (September 21, 2015 draft resolution) Welcomes the government's recognition that accountability is essential to uphold the rule of law and build confidence in the people of all communities of Sri Lanka in the justice system, takes note with appreciation of the government of Sri Lanka's proposal to establish a Judicial Mechanism, with a Special Counsel to investigate allegations of violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law, as applicable; and affirms that credible transitional justice process should include independent judicial and prosecutorial institutions led by individuals known for integrity and impartiality; and calls upon the government of Sri Lanka, to involve international investigators, prosecutors and judges in Sri Lanka's justice processes.
(September 24, 2015 draft resolution) Welcomes the government's recognition that accountability is essential to uphold the rule of law and build confidence in the people of all communities of Sri Lanka in the justice system, takes note with appreciation of the Government of Sri Lanka's proposal to establish a Judicial Mechanism with a Special Counsel to investigate allegations of violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law, as applicable; and affirms that a credible justice process should include independent judicial and prosecutorial institutions led by individuals known for integrity and impartiality; and further affirms in this regard the importance of participation in a Sri Lankan judicial mechanism, including the Special Counsel's office, of Commonwealth and other foreign judges, defence lawyers, and authorized prosecutors and investigators.
The Geneva-based United Nations Human Rights Council, on October 1, 2015, adopted, what it called, a consensus resolution on accountability for the alleged human rights violations during the war.
The 47-member body is divided into five regional groupings. Members are chosen for three-year periods.
Western powers moved three resolutions, targeting Sri Lanka, in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The third resolution demanded an external inquiry into accountability issues. The draft resolution finally adopted in 2015 is largely based on the findings and recommendations made in a report prepared in accordance with the 2014 resolution. The report was prepared by UN staffer, Ms Sandra Beidas, formerly of the Amnesty International.
Having caused terrorism, in Sri Lanka, in the 80s, leading to massive death and destruction, India continues to play the overt role of friendly neighbour. Sri Lanka lacked the courage at least to make a reference to India's despicable role during the Geneva sessions since the contentious issue of Sri Lanka's accountability was included in the UNHRC's agenda.
Post-war treachery
The Sirisena-Wickremesinghe government fully cooperated with the US and its allies hell-bent on proving the previous administration guilty on unsubstantiated war crimes charges. The US State Department ignored what its wartime Defence attache Lt. Col. Lawrence Smith said in Colombo in early June 2011. Smith is on record as having denied specific allegation pertaining to the execution of surrendering LTTE cadres and their families in May 2009 a.k.a 'white flag case.'
Keshap did well in his first ambassadorial appointment. He ensured that Lt. Col. Smith's explosive was never ever taken up and the Geneva Resolution proposed on allegations never examined at any level and protected by confidentiality clause until 2031, adopted without a vote.
It is certainly not fare to find fault with Keshap for in doing his job of pursuing US objectives regardless of consequences for the host country.
The US simply ignored revelations made in the British House of Lords in Oct 2017 on the basis of wartime dispatches of Lt. Col. Anton Gash, British counterpart of Lt. Col. Smith. In fact, the assertions made by Colombo-based British and US military attaches seemed to be alike and Amb. Keshap description of Colombo at the onset of the eelam war IV highlighted the LTTE threat on the city, a city under siege.
South Korean experience
Recently, it transpired that Colombo was so much under threat that South Korea seriously considered closing down its mission here during the then President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga's presidency. Current South Korean Ambassador Heon LEE had been here at the time the LTTE stormed the BIA and made an abortive bid to assassinate Kumaratunga at the final 1999 presidential polls campaign rally at the Town Hall grounds. On the same day, at Ja-Ela, north of Colombo, the LTTE assassinated retired Maj. Gen. Lucky Algama, who was campaigning for the UNP. Heon LEE was a junior diplomat at that time.
Keshap couldn't have been unaware of the LTTE-Tamil National Alliance (TNA) partnership as he was based in New Delhi and how the latter unashamedly represented LTTE interests, both in and outside parliament. Having stood by the LTTE until the very end, the TNA emerged as the first Northern Province administration in Sept. 2013 under the leadership of retired Supreme Court judge C.V. Wigneswaran. The LTTE and the TNA reached a consensus in late 2001 and they pursued a common agenda until the previous government annihilated the former on the Vanni front.
It would be pertinent to discuss a tripartite understanding involving Sri Lanka, the US and the TNA reached ahead of Keshap presenting his credentials to President Sirisena on Aug 21, 2015. The public wouldn't have known about this agreement if not for TNA Jaffna District MP M.A. Sumanthiran's declaration at a Congressional caucus briefing on June 14, 2016.
The event was moderated by Sadanand Dhume of the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based think tank. The Caucus is an initiative launched by United States Congressmen Bill Johnson of Ohio and Democratic Danny Davis of Illinois, in November, 2013.
On behalf of the TNA, its spokesperson and Jaffna District parliamentarian M.A. Sumanthiran told a 'Congressional Caucus for Ethnic and Religious Freedom in Sri Lanka' in Washington that the government of Sri Lanka, the TNA and the US had been involved in the negotiations leading to the agreement.
Sumanthiran in Washington
Let me reproduce the section of Sumanthiran's speech verbatim that specifically dealt with the US intervention. That part was headlined 'On the role of the US.' Sumanthiran said: "I think the US has played a very significant role already in the resolutions that it mooted in the UN Human Rights Council encouraging changes, and therefore must continue to play that role. It is true that there has been a significant change, a monumental change as described by the Ambassador, but the foot must not be taken off the pedal too early. For the simple reason that we have seen change, as a result of some pressure, some encouragement, some nudging and those must continue. Our plea to the US government would be don't express satisfaction too early as there is still a lot to do during that phase."
Sumanthiran was there referring to a statement made by the then Sri Lankan Ambassador to Washington Prasad Kariyawasam (currently Foreign Secretary). For want of a cohesive strategy Sri Lanka pathetically failed to present its case, thereby allowing the Tamil Diaspora to exploit the US system for their advantage. Sirisena-Wickremesinghe simply ignored the circumstances leading to the formation of the Congressional caucus in Nov 2013, four years after the conclusion of the war in Sri Lanka. The Diaspora never ever examined the possibility of the LTTE being defeated on the northern front though they suffered some setbacks on that front. However, following their defeat, the Diaspora worked overtime to win US public sympathy. They felt the need to secure the support of the public, lawmakers and interest groups to the Tamils in Sri Lanka. It would be pertinent to mention that the UK and Europe based Diaspora by then had formed the Global Tamil Forum (GTF) and were pursuing a well funded campaign against Sri Lanka. Unfortunately, the foolish Sirisena-Wickremesinghe government did nothing to counter anti-Sri Lanka propaganda projects, both here and overseas. The government was busy humiliating the previous administration responsible for unparallelled victory over terrorism.
Congressman visits Kilinochchi
The Diaspora had a way with politicians. They used selected British and Canadian politicians as well as US Congressman Danny Davies, who had been involved in the formation of the Congressional Caucus for Ethnic and Religious Freedom in Sri Lanka'was one of those tainted politicos to visit LTTE held Vanni in the run-up to the eelam war. Davies visited Kilinochchi in April 2005, ahead of the parliamentary and presidential polls. The late TNA MP Joseph Pararajasingham accompanied Davies when the US citizen visited Kilinochchi-Mullaitivu region. Davies met the then head of Tamileelam police P. Nadesan in Kilinochchi where preparations were being made to overwhelm Sri Lanka, at both political and military fronts.
Outgoing US Ambassador Keahap, in his interview with Derana 24/7 discussed a range of issues, including the Geneva Resolution and post 2015 January developments.
Sri Lanka, during Keshap's tenure created history by being the only country to co-sponsor a Resolution against its own armed forces on the basis of unsubstantiated allegations. Sri Lanka received Keshap's praise for its treacherous act. In responding to Amuwatte, Keshap praised what he called leadership given by the government in 2015 and 2017 'in joining hands with the US and with well intending international partners, including the UN, to co-sponsor a resolution that talked about the bright vision of the voters of the country for a reconciled, peaceful and happy Sri Lanka.'
However, there was absolutely no reference to significant US investments here in support of the Sirisena-Wickremesinghe administration. US investments, ranging from post-January 2015 presidential poll USD 3.4 mn to far bigger 'donations' made in support of high profile project to bring the Rajapaksa administration to an end as revealed by the US State Department. The US categorized Sri Lanka, Nigeria and Burma as 'democracy projects' that received USD 585 mn during 2015.
The US embassy ignored The Island request to reveal the exact amount allocated for Sri Lanka. In addition to that during Keshap's tenure US finalized a three-year project in late 2016 with parliament to strengthen democratic reforms et al. Sri Lanka ignored US efforts to weaken Sri Lanka by promoting those who sought to divide the country on ethnic lines by bringing in a new Constitution or at least diluting executive powers. Having enacted 19th Amendment to the Constitution in April 2015, the US is working overtime to assist the TNA efforts. Unfortunately, Sri Lanka lacked vision to counter these projects meant to destabilize the country.
Ongoing controversy over US Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell's strategy never received the attention of our political parties struggling to cope up with treasury bond scam revelations and other projects near and dear to them.
The international media reported demands that German leader Angela Merkel expel the American top diplomat in the country, who was recently quoted as having said that he was working to "strengthen" right-wing political movements in Europe.
The German foreign ministry has said it had "asked the US side for clarification" after the card-carrying Republican indicated readiness to intervene in European politics – a massive breach of diplomatic protocol.
Here, foreign envoys can get away with anything.

No Survivors Likely in Indonesian Crash of New Boeing 737
Indonesian airline Lion Air reported early Monday that a new Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) 737 MAX 8 aircraft with 189 people on board crashed just minutes after takeoff from Jakarta bound for Pangkal Pinang in the country's tin-mining region. No survivors are expected to be found. The crash is the first for the latest generation of Boeing single-aisle planes.
According to Reuters, the flight JT 610 requested and was granted permission to return to the airport but the plane lost all contact with the ground shortly thereafter. Reuters noted the "Indonesia is one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets, but its safety record is patchy."
Last April Lion Air ordered a total of 50 737 MAX 10s in an order valued at $6.24 billion at list prices. In all, Boeing's order book lists 201 orders from Lion Air and 13 deliveries. The first delivery took place in May 2017. The plane that crashed Monday was delivered to the airline in August.
A Lion Air spokesman cited by Reuters said the aircraft was airworthy and that the pilot and co-pilot had together amassed 11,000 hours of flying time. The airline's CEO, Edward Sirait, said that the aircraft had experienced a technical problem on a flight from Bali to Jakarta but that the issued had been "resolved according to procedure."
Lion Air operated 11 Boeing 737 MAX 8s and said it has no plans to ground the remaining planes.
In a statement, Boeing said:
The Boeing Company is deeply saddened by the loss of Flight JT 610. We express our concern for those on board, and extend heartfelt sympathies to their families and loved ones.
Boeing stands ready to provide technical assistance to the accident investigation. In accordance with international protocol, all inquiries about aviation accident investigations must be directed to Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC).
International protocol directs the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board to assist in the inquiry into the causes of the crash. Boeing, along with CFM International, the joint venture between GE and France's Safran that built the engines for the plane, will provide technical assistance in the inquiry.
Reuters has produced a flight path map of crashed flight JT 610.

Our location recently had a property risk evaluation. One opportunity for improvement was to install an automatic safety shut off in the event a high pressure leak would occur and catch fire, causing major damage to the location.
What are ways other locations use to shut off injection molding machines when a fire or a hydraulic line rupture occurs?

Patriot meeting in Centerville
January 9, 2019
A group called Patriot Prayer will hold a meeting this Sunday, Jan. 13, at the Centerville Grange hall at 10 a.m. The event is set to challenge Initiative 1639, which passed last November as a measure to further restrict firearms in Washington State.
Scheduled to speak at the event are Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson, Rob Taylor, and Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer. The event follows a similar event by the same group the day before in Skamania County.
According to a flyer about the Centerville event, the speakers are slated to talk about passing an ordinance in Klickitat County that would deny county compliance with any unconstitutional laws, including I-1639. There is no mention i...
