text: MUSIC Adele, Husband Simon Konecki to Divorce 5:46 PM PDT 4/19/2019 by the Associated Press , THR Staff FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Karwai Tang/WireImage The singer and longtime partner wed in 2017. Adele and her husband, Simon Konecki, have separated. The pop singer's representatives Benny Tarantini and Carl Fysh confirmed the news Friday in a statement to the Associated Press. "Adele and her partner have separated," the emailed statement said. "They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment." The singer, 28, has been private about her relationship but confirmed she married Konecki when she won album of the year at the 2017 Grammys. In her acceptance speech, she said: "Grammys, I appreciate it. The Academy, I love you. My manager, my husband and my son — you're the only reason I do it." Adele also announced her marriage to Konecki onstage during her concert in Brisbane, Australia, in 2017. "I was trying to remember how it was I felt at the beginning of the relationship that inspired that record," said Adele. "Because as bad as a breakup can be and as bitter and horrible and messy as it can be, that feeling when you first fall for someone is the best feeling on earth, and I am addicted to that feeling. Obviously, I can't go through with those feelings because I'm married now." Adele and Konecki have been together since 2011, with the singer giving birth to their son, Angelo, in 2012. Konecki co-founded Life Water, an eco-friendly brand of bottled water in the U.K. Funds from the company assists the charity that Konecki runs, Drop4Drop, which provides clean water to countries in need.

Yesterday I got to have fun with my "Fools of Chlem" show at the Jericho Library in front of a very appreciative audience. I got to tell close to an hour of traditional and ORIGINAL (I wrote 'em) stories about the wonderful town of Chelm and it's citizens…and a very special someone who played a big part in making the town happen at all.
Chelm follows a particular sub-genre of Storytelling (in Humor) of foolish people/towns. In England, there is Gotham. Germany has Baden (and others). Juan Bobo is from Puerto Rico. Chelm is actually a town in Poland, but it became part of Jewish folklore. Many authors have written about Chelm: Isaac Bashevis Singer; Steve Sanfield; Solomon Simon; Peninnah Schram; etc. There are still many who are writing new tales, or new variations of the traditional stories, such as Mark Binder. Many of these stories find their way into the children section of books; many others are definitely for the adults.
In the Index of Aarne & Thompsen the numbskull stories are found from AT1200 to AT 1349. These are the stories of a special place, or a village, where everyone is a numbskull.
The same stories can be found all over the world, and they can date back a very very long time. There are stories from the Arabic world from the 13th century, stories from ancient history, even stories from China found in the Tripitaka dated to 500 B.C. In Finland are the two villages of Hölmölä and Bemböle. But also the isle of Kökar from the Åland islands. In Sweden the numbskulls are called "Tälje tokar," the fools from Tälje In Denmark they live in the village of Mols, and are called molboer. In Norway there is not a particular village of fools in the oral tradition. In Iceland the stories are sometimes told about the brothers from Bakka village. Germany has the people of Schildburg.
In the Aarne-Thompsen index again, there is a collection of anecdotes and humorous stories found by the numbers AT1350 to AT 1874. And there are the wise fools or tricksters. There are the stories with people mentioned by their real names. Or stories about a real, existing village.
I did get a chance to video tape my show, and downloaded it, but did not have a chance to edit it yet. For your hearing pleasure (yes, hearing: please excuse the quality of the taping of this), I present two short stories of Chelm:
Hope you enjoy these. I'll post sections of my full show soon. In the meantime…Happy April Fools Day (and no, the above is not an April Fools joke).

FCMB Sponsors COPA Lagos Beach Soccer, Gets Stakeholders Commendation
December 13, 2017: First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has been commended by stakeholders in the sports sector and football fans for its unwavering commitment towards promoting youth development and sports in Nigeria over the years. They gave the commendation on Sunday, December 10, 2017 at the closing ceremony of this year's Copa Lagos Beach Soccer Tournament organised by Kinetic Sports Limited at Eko Atlantic Beach Soccer stadium, Victoria Island.
The 2017 edition, which was won by Spain after defeating Nigeria 6-5 in the final match, marks the seventh consecutive year the Bank has been the headline sponsor of the tournament. Other countries that participated in the tournament were, Lebanon, Morocco as well as the beach soccer teams of Arsenal Football Club of England, Pepsi Football Academy of Nigeria, Kebbi BSC and Gidi Sharks of Lagos.
The Chairman, Lagos State Sports Commission, Mr. Deji Tinubu, said that FCMB has successfully leveraged its sponsorship of the annual sports fiesta to further promote sports, unity, excitement, healthy living and empowerment among youths as well as the generality of Nigerians.
According to him, ''FCMB has been fantastic going by its commitment to COPA Lagos. Sports is very key in building national cohesion and development. With corporate organisations such as FCMB behind this competition, I believe it will continue to get better and more glamorous. We also look forward to partnering with the Bank in other initiatives that would promote sports and other benefits in Lagos state''.
Also, a former Executive Committee member of the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA), Dr. Amos Adamu, described the Bank as,''an outstanding pillar of support and lover of Beach soccer. The fact that FCMB has been standing by the organisers of this competition this number of years and the extra values it adds every year speaks volume about the Bank's commitment''.
In addition, an ex-Super Eagles of Nigeria star, Victor Agali, said the COPA Lagos has become a kind of festival and every year it gets better, just as he hailed the Bank for its roles at promoting sports development. The one-time Schalke 04 Football Cub of Germany striker, noted that, ''the action of FCMB demonstrates that it means well for the youths and sport, because beach soccer is an exciting game that has the capacity to awaken interest and help our youths to succeed''.
Explaining the rationale for sponsoring COPA Lagos Beach Soccer, the Managing Director of FCMB, Mr. Adam Nuru, said it is a further proof of the Bank's unflinching support to the development of sports, youths and overall national development.
According to him, ''the involvement of the FCMB brand in this prestigious global event since 2011 is an expression of our corporate philosophy to always connect with and develop sustainable relationships with the youth and people across demographic and socio-economic classes. It is to enhance national development. We are proud of the fact that our sponsorship of the tournament has raised the popularity and status of beach soccer in Nigeria and tourism, going by the large turnout of spectators and other dignitaries within and outside Nigeria that have been watching the football matches and other lifestyle events associated with the tournament at this festive season''.
In addition, Mr. Nuru noted that, ''sports, particularly the game of soccer, is a key passion point and a unifier among various age groups worldwide. Beach Soccer provides the platform in terms of entertainment, bonding and networking opportunities. So, when these are merged, we are given the right platform to reach our customers and Nigerians across all segments''.
While commending the organisers (that is, Kinetic Sports), players officials and spectators for ensuring the success of the tournament, the FCMB Managing Director assured that the Bank will continue to champion and execute initiatives that align with its values and enhance customer experience.
Apart from the excitement which FCMB built around the football matches, the Bank also provided guests and customers that attended the 3-day fiesta with a special VIP treat at its hospitality lounge. Guests and spectators were provided with the opportunity to experience the unique banking services of FCMB. The sales team of the Bank was on ground to showcase its array of valued-added products, including mobile and internet banking offerings. Other highlights of this year's COPA Lagos tournament were celebrity match, fashion show and a concert with performances from top rated artistes.

Consumers with thin credit files got something of an early Christmas present this week, care of Experian. The credit rating agency announced the launch of Experian Boost, a service that provides a dearth of data on credit reports with the aim of helping consumers begin building their scores by taking a deeper look into their finances.
The new platform allows customers to voluntarily connect digital bank accounts to Experian, such that the service can access information like utility and telecommunications payments. Once a customer's banking and payment data is verified – and the consumer confirms they would like it added to their credit file – an updated FICO score is instantly generated.
"Globally, we are constantly innovating and leveraging technology to find new ways to help consumers gain access to quality credit, while promoting fair and responsible lending," said Experian Global CEO Brian Cassin in a press release. "We are committed to financial inclusion, and Experian Boost is the latest example of our efforts to increase consumer awareness of credit's impact and value, while giving them greater control."
The program is particularly targeted at "thin" credit file consumers – a population of about 46 million people – who have fewer than five open loans or other credit accounts. Thin-file adults often have trouble securing credit when they need it, as lack of information or a short credit history both tend to depress scores. Additionally, according to Experian, there are roughly 1.5 million consumers with dormant credit reports and no score, who Experian Boost would be able to score.
The program will not track missed payments and, if consumers stop paying bills for three consecutive months, Experian will delete the account and go back to calculating the consumer's score under the previous method.
"Limited credit activity and history are key barriers for consumers to achieve their financial goals," said Dara Duguay, executive director of Credit Builders Alliance. "We fully support initiatives that promote financial inclusion, and think Experian Boost could play an important role in overcoming that barrier. We look forward to seeing how Experian's new platform impacts consumers."
But while more expansive and inclusive credit scoring was sizzling stateside this week, Sesame Credit, Ant Financial's credit scoring tool, continues to struggle for credibility, according to reports in Financial Times this week.
When Ant first rolled out Sesame in early 2015, it did so with expectations for a big effect – the Sesame score was billed as the key to "making credit more available to millions of consumers across China." The system was accessible via an opt-in feature of the Alipay mobile payments app. Tapping into the hundreds of data points accessible from that source, it captured things like purchases on Alibaba's Taobao marketplace, subway fares, bill payments — and synthesized all of that information into a single trustworthiness number for each user, called a "Sesame score".
Critics have, almost since launch, questioned whether all of those data points mashed down into a single score really created a useful metric for consumer financial trustworthiness, since there would need to be a strong correlation between hundreds of different behaviors in order for that metric to make a useful prediction. The score might use lots of data, but how much of it is actually relevant has always been an active debate.
And earlier this year, the Chinese government effectively pushed Sesame out of the market as a credit score usable for underwriting purposes when it stopped allowing independent companies to provide credit ratings, and instead required all ratings to come from a new public body called Baihang.
Since that change, Sesame has refocused on businesses, and is using its scoring tools to determine how likely a customer is to break a contract. Those corporate partners also tend to give perks to users with a high Sesame score, such as deposit-free rentals for umbrellas, bicycles or even apartments.
Ant Financial will regularly promote the discounts on the Alipay mobile payments app for users with high Sesame scores as well.
Mark Natkin, managing director of Marbridge Consulting in Beijing, said that these days, Sesame is closer to being an interesting take on a loyalty program that rewards users for buying Alibaba's and its partners' products, rather than a tool that can be used for predicting behavior.
"Sesame Credit should not be seen as a credit score," he noted. The Chinese government would almost certainly agree with him.
So did new and exciting methods and models sizzle or fizzle this week? As is sometimes the case, it was a little bit of both. Under the banner of a mainstream player like Experian in a developed market like the U.S., there is a quite a bit of sizzle – in China, where it is still developing and re-aligning its model, it's not quite a fizzle, but it is also not nearly as easy as announcing one's intention to take on the space.
Still, given the push to build broader and more inclusive systems for credit rating and monitoring all over the world in many different forms, we think it ultimately comes out as a sizzle for innovation enthusiasm, even if there are some execution fizzles to tackle.
Digital transformation has been forcefully accelerated, but how does that agility translate into the fight against COVID-era attacks and sophisticated identity threats? As millions embrace online everything, preserving digital trust now falls mostly on banks and FIs. Now, advances in identity data and using different weights on the payment mix afford new opportunities to arm organizations and their customers against cyberthreats. From the latest in machine learning for fraud and risk, to corporate treasury teams working in new ways with new datasets, learn from experts how digital identity, together with advances like real-time payments, combine to engender trust and enrich relationships.

United States District Court, D. Maine
December 6, 2017
DAVID J. WIDI, JR., Plaintiff,v.PAUL MCNEIL, ET AL., Defendants.
Court denies plaintiff's motion to compel discovery
because the plaintiff has failed to present a plausible basis
for believing that additional facts exist and can readily be
retrieved together with an explanation of how those facts
will defeat summary judgment.

motions, deferring final ruling on the motion until the

pending discovery request before he responded to the pending
motion. Second Mot. to Enlarge Time to File
Opp'n to Defs. Hickey and Grasso's Mot. for

time to file a report to the Court for one week. Jt. Mot.
for a One-Week Extension of the Deadline for Submitting a
Report of Local Rule 26(b) Conf. (ECF No. 514). Mr. Widi

order, noting that "the upshot is that Mr. Widi agreed
to the filing of a joint motion, and, once filed, decided to
oppose it." Order on Jt. Mot. to Extend (ECF
No. 515). On October 26, 2017, the Court reset the due date

conference, Agents Hickey and Grasso noted that they assumed
Mr. Widi had already been provided with documentation during

already possessed. Defs.' Report at 2. After

two hundred and ten pages of documents to Mr. Widi on
November 3, 2017. Id. at 3.
David Widi's Local Rule 26(b) Report
In his
late-filed report, Mr. Widi complains that the Defendants
"have not disclosed anything other than what was
already provided to Mr. Widi during his criminal case."
Pl.'s Report at 2. He asserts that the existence
of other relevant reports that had been produced by ATF was
discussed during the FOIA litigation. Id. (citing
ECF No. 370:2). Mr. Widi also objects to the Defendants'
claim that they "do not have" any other
documents. Id. In his view, he is entitled to
documents from others if the Agents were "in
privity" with other people or institutions who possess
the documents. Id. He urges the Court to revisit its
January 10, 2017 order in which it dismissed without
prejudice a series of subpoenas that Mr. Widi moved to have
issued against a number of third parties, including the town
of Eliot. Id. at 2; see Mot. for Issuance of
Subpoena (ECF No. 362); Order on Mot. for
Recons. at 31 (ECF No. 392).
Widi disputes the Agents' assertion that they did not
author any reports because he contends ATF regulations
require agents to file reports of any criminal
investigations. Pl.'s Report at 3. Mr. Widi
contends that the photo log submitted by the Defendants in
this case differs from the photo log generated during the
search. Id. (citing ECF No. 429-5:11 and ECF No.
473-4). Mr. Widi says that one of the photographs taken
during the search shows a photo log with entirely different

Nepal's Catholic bishop has given a graphic account of the country's catastrophic earthquake, describing how he was lucky to survive.
Bishop Paul Simick said he "saw houses falling like a pack of cards," and that people "were running in all directions to save their lives."
In a message to charity Aid to the Church in Need, the bishop added: "It was a very, very frightening scene – I myself had to literally run to save my life."
The bishop, who is based in the capital, Kathmandu, continued: "Repetitive aftershocks – just now there was one [and] I had to run away from my office – have made people frightened so they have left their houses and pitched tarpaulin tents on the streets and open fields.
"I saw animals killed by falling cow sheds and stone walls. I saw the dry landslides after the shake all over the hills where I was."
The bishop described the devastating impact of the earthquake on Nepal's small Catholic community numbering just 10,000 faithful. "Here in Kathmandu city, many Catholic families have cracks in their houses or major damage," he said.
Bishop Simick stressed the problems of trying to assess the situation on the ground, describing the crippling impact of communications breakdown – impassable roads, no domestic flights and entire communities still cut off. "I would also like to request your prayer support for the victims' families who have lost loved ones, those who are still missing loved ones and those who are seriously injured," he said.
More than 5,000 people were killed, more than 10,000 were injured and a million people have been left homeless by Saturday's 7.8-magnitude earthquake. The death toll was expected to rise as rescue teams could not reach hundreds of remote villages flattened by the earthquake in the nation situated in the lap of the Himalayas.
Meanwhile, in Britain, Cafod, the official Catholic aid agency for England and Wales, has thanked the public for a "phenomenal" response to a call for donations to aid the relief effort. £19 million has been donated so far to the appeal set up by the Disasters and Emergency committee. To donate to the appeal, visit the Cafod website.

Of all the things to take, somebody took the plastic chest of drawers.
They left behind the wood stuff, which I thought was much nicer.
I'm not really sure how to deal with this.
One possibility is to sand down the nightstand, glue it tight, and then sell it, unfinished. Maybe list it for $30.
The two cabinets have faces. They might go easier if they didn't have those on. I suspect plain wood boxes would be more popular.
The scanner is still a good find. The VCRs might be of interest to people who do repairs – if they aren't taken, they'll get hoarded in the garage for another giveaway.

'I knew I had to get up': Brian Pallister happy to be alive after ordeal in New Mexico wilderness
Manitoba premier recounts harrowing ordeal after getting lost in desert at night
Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister says he's grateful to be alive after getting lost in the New Mexico desert wilderness for hours before falling down an embankment, breaking his arm and bruising his ribs.
Speaking before the throne speech at the Manitoba Legislature on Tuesday, Pallister fought back tears describing the harrowing experience of being lost in the dark and worried he might not be found.
"I've got bruised ribs, lacerations," he said.
"I am so happy to be alive."
Pallister and his wife, Esther, were in New Mexico last week when the premier went for what he thought would be a six-hour hike. He said they had researched the trek before going, and the couple have hiked thousands of kilometres together.
His wife hikes a bit slower, Pallister said, so she was dropped off at the trailhead first. Pallister started his leg of the journey but fell behind schedule, and eventually he was hiking alone in the dark.
"I ran out of light," he said, adding he lost the trail.
"You can't see well, so I fell I don't know how many times."
Pallister tried to find his way back to the trail but ran into barbed wire. He continued to wander in the wilderness for more than three hours.
Pallister said he "didn't let hopelessness enter in" but he had a lot of time to think while walking alone in the dark. His mind went to his family and their smiling faces, he said.
But he'd only packed for a day hike in the heat, and with the sun set, the temperature had dropped considerably. Pallister said he began to get cold and was dehydrated.
"I tried to cover up and rest," he said.
"I started to shake and I knew I had to get up."
'I could not see more than 2 metres'
Meanwhile, Esther Pallister used the light on her cellphone to finish hiking the trail and make it to their vehicle. When the premier didn't show up, she drove to the other end of the trail and waited for a few minutes.
Eventually she saw that she had cellphone reception so she called local police and gave them directions to where her husband was supposed to be, the premier said.
"This is one strong woman," Pallister said. "I owe a lot to her."
Local police began searching around 7 p.m. About an hour later, an officer was in the vicinity of Pallister and the premier saw the beam of his flashlight.
At first, Pallister said he tried not to get too hopeful when he saw the light but he made his way toward the officer. As he got closer, the flashlight went out.
"That was not a happy moment because I could not see more than two metres," Pallister said.
The premier started to scream as loudly as he could, he said, and finally heard the response of the officer's siren.
"I knew that I was getting out of there. That was exciting. That was really exciting," Pallister said.
The light came back on — right into Pallister's face, he said. It blinded him as he tried to climb over a fence toward the officer.
"About two steps later I started to slide," Pallister said, adding he was on some kind of embankment.
'So happy to be alive'
Pallister put his hands and feet down to try and steady himself, he said, but it was too steep and too dark to know what was really happening. As he slid, his arm got caught and twisted behind him — causing a compound fracture.
He fell out of the officer's spotlight and was sliding down the embankment alone in the dark.
"Then I got air, and I'm just praying: no rocks," Pallister said.
"And then I landed flat, blew out the sides of both my hiking boots on landing. So it must have been a pretty profound impact."
The police officer located Pallister and managed to help him get to the officer's vehicle. Pallister was taken directly to the local hospital.
He said it was the worst day of his life, but he is very grateful to have gotten through it.
"I am so happy to be alive. I am so thankful for the people down there. I am so appreciative of the expressions of sympathy and support from Manitobans and people across the country," Pallister said.
"It's been a humbling experience for me, and it will never stop Esther and me from going back and exploring this beautiful place."

Tatran and Metalurg battle for sixth position
Presov will on Wednesday host a match which might end up playing the key role in deciding who will finish the regular part of SEHA - Gazprom League's seventh season on sixth place – Tatran Presov or Metalurg Skopje. Macedonians are probably in a bit better form lately and they crowned it with a four-goal win over Meshkov Brest in the last round. Slavko Goluza and his players on the other side, despite of tough injury situation they're currently dealing with, have three draws in last three SEHA encounters and they'll surely look to finally reach a win in what will be their final home match of the regional season.
Interesting is also that the match will feature three of the best SEHA scorers so far this season – Halil Jaganjac (92), Bruno Butorac (85) and Jakub Hrstka (72), as well as three out of first four players with the most assists – Bruno Butorac (47), Martin Velkovski (40) and Filip Kuzmanovski (39) with Dinamo' Petar Zujovic topping that list with 53.
Match is scheduled for Wednesday (18.00 CET) and will be broadcasted on ehf TV, MRT (Macedonia) and Arena Sport channel in Slovakia and Croatia.
Aleksandar Jovic, Metalurg coach:
We've got two more regular season fixtures ahead - in Presov and at home against Celje. Match is Presov carries no special importance but I expect an interesting game. In Skopje we played a good match, we're leveled on league's table and I assure we'll give our best to reach a new win.
Ante Tokic, Metalurg player:
We want a positive result which would put us ahead of Tatran on league's table. They have a roster full of quality players on all positions but I don't think there are any secrets left between us really. In our premier encounter of the season we've managed to reach a narrow win after being huge eleven goals ahead… That's why we're eager to play a good match and reach a positive result.
Slavko Goluza, Tatran Presov coach:
It is difficult for us to focus on the match against Metalurg because we still don't know who will even be able to suit up for that duel. We need at least two quality training sessions but our situations is due to all the illnesses, injuries and a lack of time very complicated. That's why we need to think about ourselves first. I believe players like Recicar and Carapkin will have more minutes on Wednesday. Oliver Rabek recently returned from an injury but we still have to see whether he can play already. Despite of all the problems however, we'll try to put the team together. We want our players to deliver a strong team performance and show fighting spirit like in the first part of the season.
Radovan Pekar, Tatran Presov player:
Considering the situation we found ourselves in lately, this will be a very tough match for us. However, we all want to break through in this match as we simply need some kind of an impulse. We need to deliver as much quality minutes on both sides of the court as possible, run well and minimize turnovers. We'll without doubt give our best and I believe we can do it.

About the Author
Fyodor Tertitskiy
Fyodor Tertitskiy is a senior researcher at Seoul's Kookmin University. He holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from Seoul National University, and is author of "North Korea before Kim Il Sung," which you buy here.
North Korea's Party Foundation Day is a holiday as odd as the country's Foundation Day. Both are very loosely based on actual events and both commemorate a false date: the North Korean state was not established on September 9, 1948, nor was the Party founded on October 10, 1945.
The northern Korean section of the Communist Party of Korea was established on October 13 and the Workers' Party of North Korea on July 29, 1946. The actual WPK was born on June 30, 1949.
The difference is that the Party Foundation Day appears to be a younger holiday that the one of the state. This is quite logical, as the Soviet Union also did not have a Party Foundation day: the First Congress of the Russian Social-Democratic Workers' Party did not feature Lenin among the delegates – and thus celebrating the first day of its existence, March 13, would have been odd.
For more than a decade, North Korea did not celebrate October 10 at all. In 1949, the Rodong Sinmun was simply not published on the day. On October 10, 1952, the newspaper issue was indeed dedicated to the Party, but not the WPK – in fact, on the day, the Rodong Sinmun reported on Nikolai Bulganin's speech to the XIX Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
The first time the holiday was actually celebrated, it seems, was in 1958. The Rodong Sinmun published a piece explaining that the holiday was published on the front page:
"According to these objective demands, trustworthy communists, led by comrade Kim Il Sung have united the leading workers' organizations, which had hastily created after the liberation and on October 10, 1945, created a unified Party."
Nothing in the sentence was true. The organization which was created in October 1945 was not the Party but its North Korean branch (분국). It took place on October 13, not October 10.
It did not unite "the leading workers' organizations, which had hastily created after the liberation," as these organizations had been dissolved by the Soviets.
It was not led by comrade Kim Il Sung, but rather by comrade Kim Yong Bom, as Kim Il Sung only became Party leader in December. Chang Si U, one of the people present on the meeting, was later purged, thus the statement about "trustworthy communists" is unusual. And finally, the only "objective demand" here was the wishes of the Soviet authorities.
Since then, the Rodong Sinmun on October 10 typically featured a column about the glorious WPK, marching from victory to victory under the leadership of Kim Il Sung.
Perhaps the only noteworthy thing about them came out in 1967, when the Rodong Sinmun showed the famous photo of Kim Il Sung with a monocle, taken in 1966.
Occasionally, it was interrupted by other events. For example, October 10, 1968, was dedicated, of all things, to the anniversary of the death of Che Guevara: the Argentinian revolutionary had been executed on October 9, 1967 and Kim Il Sung gave a speech in his memory, speaking about the unity of nations struggling against imperialism.
October 10, 1980 saw the beginning of the Sixth Congress, during which Kim Jong Il appeared in the Rodong Sinmun for the first time. There is a high chance the timing was intentional.
In 2011, Kim Jong Il was reported to have conducted an on-the-spot guidance, and this was already considered to be more important than the holiday itself, although on the same day North Koreans were reported to have received gifts "from Kim Jong Un" – his rise to power had already begun.
Under Kim Jong Un the holiday has became more prominent. The young leader paid a visit to the Mausoleum on October 10, 2012 – and, since then, the holiday has begun to feel like a real holiday, with the Rodong Sinmun actually celebrating it with some fanfare.
Parades and concerts are typically part of such celebrations. Ceremonies in Pyongyang are normally attended by representatives of other communist nations and skipped by other embassies, as technically this is a day for the Party, not for North Korea itself.
Occasionally citizens are given some special gifts from the state – like candy – although this is not always the case.
Television starts broadcasting in morning, as it is usually the case during the holidays. In 2015, the authorities conducted a labor mobilization before the celebrations began, and assuming there won't be any major changes in North Korea, this may happen again in 2020 or in 2025.
So what should we expect from today's celebrations? There may be a parade, and Chinese embassy officials may attend. If Kim Jong Un is not a fool – and he is in most cases, not a fool at all – there will not be any missiles on display.

Australia has a important International program called Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS). The Glen Innes Rotary Club has partnered with RC of Ubud Sunset to establish Days for Girls Indonesian Distribution through local established NGOs. The visit by Don was important as previous communication had been done by email. The Ubud members were able to have a full presentation of the DfG program. The RAWCS program allows many Australian Rotary Clubs to operate projects overseas. Also Australian residents can receive a tax deduction for their donation.
Australian Days for Girls support this program with generous donation of kits. The Glen RC & the PHMF raise funds for postage of $5 per kit. The target for 2019 is to train & distribute 2000 kits to make a difference in the lives of underprivilaged Indonesian girls.

Nosy Neighbors…...
What are these girls so curious about?
The little ones were being introduced today to
acclimate them being outside. Notice anything
a little….off? One of these new kids is a real Quack!
**Update on the fire ants in my raised garden bed….
After all that heating and pouring water on those mean little critters
they were STILL there the next day. I mixed some Orange
Oil and Dawn Dish detergent with water then poured that
through. Today when I checked I only saw one
straggler….so…fingers crossed. There's a new mound
a couple of feet away on the ground that I'm thinking is
their new digs. THAT I can handle.
Now…if the weather will stabilize so I can start planting.

Was your diarist ( THES , October 26) really present in Frankfurt when I described two concepts of the London School of Economics - the old "fiction of the single-faculty school" and the "postmodern patchwork" of today's LSE? Calling one a "noble emporium" is a pure invention by your diarist: calling the other a "warehouse" (for Warenhaus ) shows the limits of her or his German. Incidentally, nowhere did I "let fly at Anthony Giddens".

How does an Obstruction Permit work?
- An Obstruction Permit lets you park a portable storage unit or moving truck in one place for a period of time.
- The Obstruction Permit tells your neighbors that they can't park in the permitted site for a period of time.
- You may only block the street or right of way in the area that you are moving to or from.
- You need to post the NO PARKING sign(s) that come with the Obstruction Permit at least 72 hours (3 days) before you park your portable storage unit or moving truck on the street.
How do I apply for an Obstruction Permit?
You must apply for an Obstruction Permit in person at the Permit Center. The line to get an Obstruction Permit can be long; to avoid a long wait, visit the Department of Transportation Permit Counter before 11 a.m. or after 2 p.m.
When you come to the Permit Counter to apply for your Obstruction Permit, you will need the following:
- The site address.
- The dates you will need the permit.
- Number of parking spaces you will need to block. Please note that one parking space is 25 feet long.
- The meter numbers if you will need to block parking meters.
- Contact phone number for the company or person applying.
- If the Obstruction Permit is related to other permitted work, please include that permit application number with your application.
- A traffic control plan if you will need to block traffic. For help with creating a traffic control plan, check out the Traffic Control Application page.
Once you are sure you have all the required information, go to the Department of Transportation Permit Counter and complete the following steps:
- Provide the required information.
- Pay the permit fee at the Cashier's Office.
- Return to Permit Counter and pickup "No Parking" signs.
The Cashier's office accepts cash, checks payable to the City of Oakland and most major credit cards.
How much does an Obstruction Permit cost?
The cost of an Obstruction Permit varies. The cost depends on the length of time you will need the permit and the number and type of parking spaces you will need to block.

Aaron Hernandez's Fianceé Testifies About Box That Allegedly Contained Murder Weapon – BuzzFeed News
The day after Odin Lloyd was murdered, Shayanna Jenkins disposed of a large box at Hernandez's request.
Shayanna Jenkins, Aaron Hernandez's fianceé and mother of his child, continued her testimony in his murder trial Monday by answering a series of questions about a box that prosecutors said contained the murder weapon.
Hernandez is accused of the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd, who was the boyfriend of Shayanna's sister, Shaneah, at the time of his death.
Shayanna removed the box, covered in a black bag, from their home the day after Lloyd was murdered. She that Hernandez called her and told her it was "important" for her to dispose of a large cardboard box that was kept in their storage room, but she says she never learned what it contained. Prosecutors allege the murder weapon — a Glock .45 — was in this box.
During her testimony, Shayanna was asked if Hernandez ever told her what was in the box. She said he did not, and said she never asked. When prosecutors asked if she rummaged through the box, she said she did not. She told the jury that all she saw in the box were a few smaller boxes and some clothing. She says she added baby clothing to the top of the box, but quickly mentioned that she was not concealing its contents.
According to her memory, the box was roughly 35 to 40 pounds.
Footage from the home's surveillance system shows Shayanna carrying the large bag and box out through the backyard and bringing it to the driveway to put it in the trunk of her sister's car. She said she didn't put it in the backseat because it was too large.
Shayanna told the jury that she does not remember the site where she disposed of the box, saying the emotions of everyone around her – including Shaneah and Hernandez – were weighing on her and made her nervous. She says she drove around southern Massachusetts aimlessly, trying to shake off nerves.
Shayanna was granted an immunity deal in exchange for testifying in February, and there was speculation about how she would approach her obligation to take the stand. When it was clear that she was not going to remain silent, which would likely lead to contempt of court charges, the next question was about how much she would say. Would she flip on Hernandez and give the prosecutors strong evidence? Would she speak as obligated but claim she couldn't remember details, large or small, about the days leading up to Hernandez's arrest? Or would she lie, and risk perjury charges to protect Hernandez?
Boston Globe
Earlier in the trial, her sister Shaneah testified that Shayanna told her she needed to borrow her car to get money to pay the housekeepers. Shaneah said it was unusual for Shayanna to borrow her car, and that she seemed anxious when she left the house. A housekeeper later testified that Shayanna paid them with a check.
On Monday, a copy of that check was shown to the jury.
Surveillance video showed Shayanna at an ATM in Plainville, Mass. during her outing the day after Lloyd was murdered. A bank statement showed that Shayanna withdrew $800 from the ATM in Plainville, and $500 from an ATM in East Greenwich earlier that day. When asked why she was withdrawing money, Shayanna told the jury she needed to pay the housekeepers.
The prosecutor showed a photo of a $300 check made out to her housekeeper for "Weekly Cleaning."
Prosecutors did not give any reasons for her $1,300 withdrawal, but on Friday Shayanna testified that she went to Rhode Island to meet with a Hernandez co-defendant to give him some money at Hernandez's request.
Shayanna maintained that she had no further conversations with Hernandez about the removal of the mysterious box, and what it might have contained.
Courtroom reporters say Shaneah Jenkins left the courtroom in tears as her sister testified about where she went and why on the day after Odin Lloyd was murdered. She returned a few minutes later.
