Prospective England Rugby League Ashes candidates were spread across two competitions this weekend with three Betfred Super League fixtures taking place alongside Round Five of the Coral Challenge Cup.
Salford Red Devils full-back Niall Evalds – who has been a part of the England Knights squad for the past two seasons – was instrumental in his side's comeback victory over Wigan Warriors.
Evalds sliced through a gap in the Warriors' line to begin Salford's comeback before claiming a loose ball and racing almost 90 metres to double his account in a fantastic solo effort. Dan Sarginson also played a key role with a crucial tackle on Wigan's Bevan French with only a few minutes remaining.
England duo Luke Thompson and Tommy Makinson were both on the scoresheet for St Helens but couldn't prevent Kristian Woolfe's side falling to a 28-14 defeat to Castleford Tigers. Alex Walmsley provided the assist for prop-forward partner Thompson's late score.
Paul McShane – who has been included in the list of potential England players for the first time – was voted as the Our League Player of the Match following another mammoth defensive effort tallying 40 tackles at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle. Liam Watts also featured in an impressive forward display.
Warrington Wolves hooker Daryl Clark came on from the interchange bench to notch two try-assists in the Wolves' massive 4-38 victory over Hull FC. Stefan Ratchford, Chris Hill, Ben Currie, Josh Charnley and Mike Cooper all also featured for Warrington.
Wakefield Trinity were in Challenge Cup action edging out Championship opposition Bradford Bulls with Reece Lyne crossing for the match-winning try ten minutes from time.
England Knight candidates Sam Powell (Wigan Warriors) and Jake Trueman (Castleford Tigers) were both on the scoresheet this weekend while Toby King– of Warrington – provided two try-assists along with Danny Richardson (Castleford Tigers)and Danny Walker (Warrington Wolves) also setting up tries.
Tickets for the 2020 Rugby League Ashes Series between England and Australia this Autumn are available here.

Movie Review
Abhi tho mene start kia hai!
Make sure you are ready to watch the sentiment. Vikram played by Retish Deshmukh seems very naive and we can't tolerate him being so good.
The movie revolves around brothers who are like sticky notes. Two completely opposite! One is who gets teary while watching a movie at a theatre and the other one is who cares for him like insane. Just like a savior, Ronnie played by Tiger Shroff comes over to save his baby brother from the bad people. C'mmon we know men do cry and that's acceptable but intee femininity thoos thoos ke bhari hai ki kya bataye. Ronnie is the whole handsome hunk uber-pumping his testosterone around.
The Chaturvedi's!!
Jackie Shroff is playing the role of Father. While controlling a riot, Jackie Shroff gets shot. While on the death bed, Jackie Shroff a reputed and charismatic police officer makes Ronnie promise that he will take care of his brother Vikram.
Bhai-bhai community!
Until when can we tolerate a sensitive brother like this? It does create some comic scenes but on the other side irritates you.
Our irritation and frustration towards Vikram start to fade away in the later second half. Just like Ronnie, we too get shocked to watch Vikram turning into a Lion just like his brother.
Siya played by Shraddha Kapoor throws away lots of Slangs here and there. And to get the network connection on her phone she runs into the men's washroom. Which SIM card does she use? Don't want to know at all.
There are some hilarious nuggets to watch out for.
Calvin Klein with some glitter!
We are treated by Disha Patani's "Do you love me" while she doesn't leave any kind of impact for the narrative in any way. Just to compensate for her absence in the movie as an actress, did she preferred a single dance sequence? OMG!
Later, as the story movies ahead Vikram is in Syria and now being treated as a hostage.
Now, Ronnie gets to Syria and tames the whole nation. Ankita Lokhande as Ruchi and the Mom-to-be of Vikram's child seems fun and promising.
Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Verma do leave an impact on us.
Ronnie fights with the Syrians and their Boss Abu Jalal. Abu Jalal is the Chief of ISIS and knows 44 languages. Wow! Jameel Khoury is an Israeli actor in the role of Abu Jalal, plays his part with conviction.
Those rustic Syrian vibes!
After fighting with the ISIS militant groups and getting through their military base Ronnie runs across. Climbs over the top of the chopper to just fight. Jaw-dropping! Might be yaha 15% VFX dala hoga.
We have seen heroes climbing over the top of the train and the bus and sometimes car to fight. But, Baaghi 3 doesn't consider any laws of Physics at all.
Wait a minute! You also hear some kind of zikra of Singham, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi. The Senior Officer to Vikram knows a lot about them and makes sure he takes his personal photographer along with him everywhere. What!
The moral is- "do what you are actually good at" Don't depend on your khandaan at all for stupid reasons. Man up! Don't know why during some emotional scenes we went back to the Sooraj Barjatya nostalgia. Hum saath sath hain!
Of course it is not at all totally relatable. But, does this generation love watching bhai-bhai ka attoot rishta? Nope! Of course not if you are going to make a 3 hours long movie.
Hai na, hai na?
- Action-sequence back to back.
- Watch Shraddha and Tiger back on screen together.
- Watch Disha Patani groove.
- It would have been great if this action movie was well written and shortened by at least 15 minutes.
- How can someone think of going against a whole nation? Complete fiction!
- Music could have been much better.

My name is Frank and I run a travel agency based in Bogota, Colombia. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please write them in our comments section. Thank you and have a great trip to Colombia!
Best luxury and boutique Hotels in Colombia
In recent years, I have traveled all over Colombia and also visited many hotels. So I can say that I have some idea about this. When I recently researched the best hotels in Colombia online, I was amazed. These are sometimes listed indiscriminately, sometimes the most expensive in the country, sometimes presented according to unclear criteria. What seems, however, the authors themselves never visited one of the mentioned houses.
Therefore, I would like to present my top hotels in Colombia. I have chosen this for experience factors. So it's not about listing the most beautiful and expensive boutique hotels, otherwise 9 out of 10 hotels in Cartagena are in the list, factors such as exclusivity, location and overall package play a role.
If you are interested in a luxury trip through Colombia, then you should definitely read my article about luxury travel in Colombia.
1. Casa San Agustin, Cartagena
This beautiful boutique hotel in the center of the old town of Cartagena offers luxury in every respect. The service is at the highest level and you already noticed on entering the hotel that the customer is king. Nestled in a colonial house, the hotel still retains much of its original substance, preserving an imposing wall in the pool area. In addition to the restaurant there is a bar, a spa and various zones where you can settle down. The hotel has 20 rooms and 11 suites. The rooms and bathrooms are generously equipped and leave nothing to be desired. Prices start from USD 350.- the night. For me, the Casa San Agustin hotel is the first choice for travelers looking for a luxury boutique hotel in Cartagena.
And if we are already in Cartagena, I would like to refer to my article about the best boutique and luxury hotels in Cartagena.
2.Four Seasons Casa Medina, Bogota
Fortunately, the Casa Medina in Bogota differs from the usual houses of hotel chains. The hotel is cultivated in a classic mansion and already gives an idea from the outside that it is luxurious in the interior. New and old were perfectly merged, although the room layout was not perfect due to the historical substance. The hotel has 62 rooms. The service is excellent and leaves nothing to be desired. Services are all offered according to this luxury class. The rooms are meticulously appointed, with the suites being an absolute highlight. A cold night in Bogota can be overcome with a private fireplace in the room. The hotel is located in the Zona G, one of the best areas of the city, which is also known for its gastronomic offer. For me, the Four Seasons in Bogota is the most beautiful and best-located hotel, which I recommend to all travelers. Prices start from USD 400.-per night.
3. Hotel Las Islas, Barú
So far it has been difficult to find a hotel in the Rosario Islands near Cartagena that could maintain a constant service level. Las Islas convinced me, though. The hotel was built with respect for nature. With over 50 bungalows, spread over a gigantic area, the hotel does not look blocky. The hotel has a spa, private beach, various restaurants, and heliport, boat dock and fitness room. The bungalows are either on the ground, most with sea view, or constructed in dizzying heights as tree houses. Some have private pools. I recommend The Hotel Las Islas on Baru to all travelers who want to experience a Caribbean feeling for a few days. Only 1 hour away from Cartagena, a stay can be perfectly combined. Prices start from USD 550.- per night.
4.Hotel Patio del Mundo, Medellin
Although Medellin has a great deal for backpackers and business travelers, pretty hotels for upmarket private travelers are still hard to find. With just 7 rooms, the hotel is more reminiscent of a larger private home. The rooms are themed. The hotel has a huge private garden with walkway down to the river. It is an oasis of peace and tranquility. Due to the size of various services are offered only limited. I recommend this hotel to travelers who like to travel boutique. Prices start from USD 120.-.
5. Hacienda Venecia, Caldas
6. Termales La Quinta, Caldas
Termales La Quinta is around 2 hours' drive from Manizales, the capital of Caldas. Depending on weather conditions you should be traveling with a 4×4. For the last kilometers to the Finca you will ride on the back of a horse. Mule transports luggage. Although the journey seems a bit awkward, the effort is definitely worth it. The finca offers a few rooms, so the stay is all the more exclusive. The highlight is certainly the pool, which is fed by thermal water. The rooms are very nicely decorated. Activities around the finca include horse riding, visiting the waterfalls and hiking. I recommend the visit of Termales La Quinta to all who love nature and outdoor activities or who seek peace and seclusion. The finca is also suitable for groups to spend some private days with all the comforts. Prices start from USD 60.- per night.
7. Deep Blue, Providencia
Providencia is the absolute dream of a Caribbean island and surprisingly quite far away from Colombia. The island is located at the height of Nicaragua. Providencia is accessible via the neighboring island of San Andres or by private plane. From the mainland you should expect ½ day traveling. The inhabitants have introduced rigorous restrictions to protect their culture. This prevents mass tourism. On my first visit, I was alone on the beach for 3 days. The beaches are gorgeous, the sea is seven-colored and the diving is excellent. It is best to move on the island with a scooter or golf cart. The Hotel Deep Blue is by far the best hotel on the island and the rooms rise up as terraces. The higher the room, the better the view. Some rooms also have their own small pool. The restaurant is built as a platform over the water. Therefore there is a breeze and you will be spared from mosquitoes. Prices seem high, but for such a remote island, there are some logistics costs. Prices start from USD 200.- per night.
8. Cafe Finca Vista de Nieves, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
The beauty of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is difficult to put into words, so we also made a video of it ;-). Finca Vista de Nieves is about 2 hours drive from Santa Marta. It is located at 1,500 meters above sea level and offers beautiful views to the Caribbean Sea. This is not a classic hotel, but a 160 year old coffee finca. The infrastructure is excellent, only the main house currently has only a general bathroom. The property also includes a river with associated waterfall. In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Capacity up to 10 persons, prices on request.
9. Placita Vieja, Santa Marta
Placita Vieja is for me the epitome of a boutique hotel. The owner has created a work of art in years of detailed work. Every detail is right. It is located right on the main square in the historic part of Santa Marta. With 8 rooms, the hotel is very small. The spa is very impressive for the size of the hotel. The rooms are exceptionally beautiful and fit well with the Caribbean coast. In my opinion the hotel is more suitable for adults and less for families with small children. Prices start from USD 100.- per night.
10.Finca Hotel Mururito Natural Reserve, Meta
Finca Hotel Mururito is located in the middle of the wilderness of the Colombian Llanos. It is also a nature reserve with a gigantic area. I admit, it is a bit difficult to get there. You can fly to Puerto Gaitan and then drive another 2 hours by car, preferably with a 4×4. Once arrived, however, the total relaxation will occur immediately. The accommodation is absolutely nicely done and corresponds to the local style. Electricity is available during the day through solar panels. Hot water is not available, but is not necessary due to the temperatures. Activities include Llanos safari, bird watching, horseback riding and hiking. It is one of the most beautiful places I have visited in Colombia so far. Depending on the season, a part of the area is flooded and you go by boat. Prices from USD 75.- per night.
We at Pelecanus would be more than happy to win you as a client. We are a travel agency in Bogota Colombia and have been at the forefront of promoting a positive image of this glorious country and ensuring that travelers and tourists take away only the best memories of Colombia back home. We offer a customized experience of Colombia with a variety of packages that cater to your needs. Come explore the exuberant Colombia full of rich culture, mouthwatering cuisines, scenic landscapes, towering mountains, pristine beaches and a thriving urban scene. If you want to fly through Colombia in a helicopter, we also have solutions for that.We await your arrival.
Happy travelling!

"So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free." John 8:36
There was a billboard sign on Hwy. 94 just outside of the city of Watertown that I used to drive by on a regular basis. I have also seen these same type of billboards on other major highways. It had the picture of a caveman and then in big letters it read, "UG LEE BUYS UGLY HOUSES" Quite the catchy phrase, isn't it?
It got my attention enough to actually go on the internet and check it out. This was a billboard for a company called HomeVesters that buys up "ugly" houses. Their website is appropriately <uglyhouses.com> and there I found out that this is a real estate company that buys houses that need repair or aren't sellling — fixes them up and then sells them again for a profit. "UG LEE" is their fictional mascot, who actually is a caveman. UG LEE will buy those houses that are so ugly that no one else will buy them. It was that word "ugly" that caught my attention. Who would want to admit that their house is ugly? After all, the homeowners were the ones that were actually living in that house and are now trying to sell it. Would we have the humbleness to go to this company and admit our house is too "ugly" to sell?
As we live our lives on this earth we soon realize that we are by nature spiritually very ugly. No, I do not mean that our physical appearance is ugly. Rather I am referring to our heart's spiritual appearance. Every one of us was painfully "ugly" as we came into this world. We were completely 100% ugly in our sin, and really we were much more than ugly. We were 100% dead in our sin. There was not one part of us that was good. We were separated from God, and we by nature don't want to admit that we are ugly and dead in our sin.
It is in this condition of spiritual ugliness and death that God looked at us and said I have a plan. No one else wants these "dead and ugly" heart of sins, but I do. I will pay the price to free these ugly people from their sin by sending my Son to redeem or buy them back from the ugliness of their sin. The price to free these ugly hearts was the perfect and innocent blood of Jesus, God's one and only Son, "If the Son sets you free, you really will be free."
As we live our lives of repentance as God's children who have been set free, the Holy Spirit continues to use his Law to lead us to see that we are still ugly in sin, because we sin daily and that the only way to be saved is by trusting that Jesus has bought us back from our sin and that we are heirs of eternal life. This is God's saving Gospel. Our stubborn sinful pride may not want to always admit that we are ugly in sin, but we pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to open our hearts through his Law and Gospel to see and admit that our only hope is in the blood of Jesus. So God's billboard to the world might read: "GOD HAS BOUGHT BACK OUR UGLY (and Dead) HEARTS THROUGH HIS SON'S DEATH" And we would say, "THANK YOU JESUS!"

To me, React — just like Preact, Svelte or lit-html — provide mainly one feature of interest: Turning state into DOM, ideally in an efficient manner. Your business logic manipulates a state object and your UI framework consumes said object to update your UI accordingly. These frameworks enable you to have a clear separation between state and UI. Nonetheless, I often see people encapsulate their business logic into their (visual) components tied to component-internal state. This is where Redux can help. Redux is a popular "state container", centralizing your state and all its mutations in one place, outside your components, reenforcing the aforementioned separation.

The US economy shed another 467,000 jobs last month, signalling aggressive government stimulus measures are failing to unshackle the labour force from the grips of the recession, official figures showed on Thursday.
The result was worse than economists predicted and pushed the unemployment rate from 9.4 per cent to 9.5 per cent, slightly better than expected but still a 26-year high. Thursday's figure shows further erosion from the previous month's decline of a revised 322,000 drop and knocked wind from the notion that the pace of job losses might be slowing.

Display boards are very light weight and portable. They can be moved around with ease and do not require a whole lot of space for installation. They are made from such materials that they do not get torn or broken in any way while being shipped to the clients. These display boards are so easy to handle that even a child can do so. They are made from stiff materials so that they do not require an extra support to stand; they are quite capable of standing on their own.
Install the lights, and be sure to mix and match or move things around if they don't make a statement as is. Some things to consider when doing a lighting job are to check with your city or county for potential code or guidelines for doing an outdoor wiring. That is why I would recommend Solar LED because you don't have to deal with the city regarding any code violations. Also, be sure to think about where you want to plug in your switches before making plans. Indoors is usually better so that you have control of when to turn it off and on.
To make your truck racing one and give stunning look, gauges that come with the factory make can be replaced with Dodge Ram Automotive Gauges. Though Dodge come with powerful lightning system, replacing them with Dodge Ram Automotive Lights will help to enhance the look of Dodge. Dodge Ram Fog Lights will help to invade through the fog. No need to fear about driving in foggy season. Dodge Ram Headlights produce light with great intensity which will pierce the darkness. They will imitate the light of the sun and make the night to appear bright as day. With the help of these headlights one can carry adventurous journey to dark jungles even in night. Under the light produced by them, the road will be clearly visible and this gives the driver the confidence to drive.
If you stepped into a time machine and travelled back to the mid 80s, people wouldn't believe that you could get this sport of power out of a tiny 1.4-litre engine. The lightweight four cylinder four-valve engine produces an impressive 136kW of power and 250Nm of torque. The secret is the twin charging system which combines a turbocharger and supercharger with the one engine. The 1.4 TFSI uses a claimed 5.9 litres of fuel per 100km. In reality the way you drive this car will result in a much higher figure, with a long-term average of 9.4 litres/100km.
Place inexpensive bamboo tiki torches around the perimeter of the backyard or pool area so that the light is dispersed and not just concentrated in one area.
Solar LED lighting uses several different components in order to function. There is the solar panel, the battery, and the bulb. During the day, the solar panel collects sunlight. That is why it is important to place solar Landscape LED Lights somewhere where they will receive direct sunlight. The longer they are in the sun, the better. The next most important part of a solar LED light is the battery. Some of these are common and can easily be replaced, but some are slightly more obscure and can therefore be costly to replace. These are what hold the charge that is accumulated by the solar panel. The bulb is the icing on the cake when it comes to these lights.
Now the fun part! Settle into a comfortable place. I took my bowl of popcorn and my fishing line into my living room and watched holiday specials when I strung my garland. Once you have a working space, set up your fishing line, needle and popcorn. Begin by picking up a piece of popcorn. Carefully thread the needle through the thickest part of the popcorn. String it onto your fishing line and move onto the next piece. If other adornments are desired, add them onto the fishing line as well, each time sliding the popcorn and other items down farther to allow you more fishing line to continue stringing. Continue this until you have a long enough garland to wrap around your tree.
The most important thing that you need to keep in mind is that the lighting fixtures that you choose for your bathroom have to be something that you can be proud of and admire for a number of years.

Two months after the announced winding up of Resolution Life Assurance Company Limited (ResLife), the court-sanctioned successor of CLICO, policyholders finally got details yesterday about their promised payments.
In Parliament Prime Minister Mia Mottley announced that policyholders and claimants are to benefit from a settlement package of $103 million in cash payouts and $300 million in bonds. This will see eligible policyholders or claimants due less than $20,000, receiving cash, and the balance in 15-year bonds.
However, it was last night at a Resolution Life town hall meeting at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre that policyholders were informed for the first time that payments will commence next month, and that the process is expected to be completed by August. During the meeting, which barely had standing room, policyholders and claimants were also apprised of the eligibility rules.
According to Chief Executive Officer Cheryl Senhouse, even though the Prime Minister would have outlined general policy for payouts, the actual tabulations were not as simple.
"Insurance is fairly complicated and certainly as a company we would have inherited a wide range of policies, so while the Ministry [of Finance] would have outlined a fairly high-level policy for the liquidation, we had to look at the details of the policies that we had on hand to determine which ones would be eligible for settlement," said Senhouse.
She revealed that among the persons eligible were those holding active policies as of March 31, 2019 that had a positive net cash or fund values. Claims that remain unpaid up to March 31, as well as surrendered cash value claims that were unpaid for the same period, are also eligible to benefit. Pensions and Flexible Premium Annuities are also on the list to be paid. Additionally, it was revealed that persons with two or more policies that cumulatively amount to more than $20,000, will still only receive one cash payment of $20,000 and the balance in bonds.
However, policies that do not generate a cash value would not be part of the settlement process. Among these would be, term life policies, critical illness policies, individual health policies or group policies and lapsed policies. It was also revealed that the company was in the process of selecting bidders to give some of these policyholders the option of switching.
"So, in terms of actual active policies, we used a criterion where if the policy was active as of March 31, 2019 and had a net positive cash value or positive fund value. This is important because some policyholders would have stopped paying their policies and simply allowed them to lapse. So, the premium payments would have gone against the fund value and at some point, the policy value would have gone to zero. Those types of policies are not eligible," she explained.
Senhouse further pointed out "There were also a number of claims that would have come over to us, so where there were deaths or maturity on policies that were unpaid, those policies would also be included. There were also surrenders that occurred prior to the period of judicial management and during that period, we would also be looking at those policies as well. Regarding Executive Flexible Premium Annuities, some of those persons already brought in these policies for new Res Life contracts and those policies would also be eligible."
During the meeting, which lasted close to three hours, persons sought clarity on any "grey" areas. Among the areas of concern raised, persons wanted clarity on what were the entitlements to the holders of the series 'B' bonds.
In response, those in attendance were told that during the first four years, Government will pay the interest on these bonds. After the first four years, holders of these instruments will receive quarterly payments on the principal. It was made clear that bond-holders were under no obligation to hold these bonds for the full 15 years as Government was creating platforms by which persons can trade or sell them.

The much-awaited Canon EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera is here!
Aiming to revolutionize photography and videography, the all-new Canon EOS R is the brand's first 35mm full-frame mirrorless digital camera with Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) and interchangeable lens format.
The EOS R boasts a near-instantaneous focusing speed of 0.05 seconds. It has a 30.3-megapixel full-frame Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor that detects 5,655 manually selectable auto-focus points. In addition, this camera features an ISO sensitivity range of 100 to 40,000 for photos and 100 to 25,000 for videos.
Powered by the latest DIGIC 8 imaging processor, the EOS R's Auto Lighting Optimizer applies gradient to delvier intricate details in highlight and shadows of your images.
At the heart of the EOS R System is the ground-breaking RF mount, which has a large 54mm diameter, short flange focal distance of 20mm, and a robust 12-pin connection.
Along with the EOS R, Canon also launched the first four RF lenses designed for mirrorless cameras.
The RF-24-105mm f/4L IS USM (P68,998), RF50mm f/1.2L USM (P144,998), RF28-70mm f/2L USM (price to be announced), and RF35mm f/1.8 MACRO IS STM (price to be announced) all incorporate a control ring to which you can directly adjust numerous settings such as shutter speed, aperture, exposure, compensation, and more.
Canon's EF and EF-S lenses can still be used with the new EOS R. You just need to use one of three optional Mount Adapaters–Mount Adapter EF-EOS R (P6,998), Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R (P13,498), and Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R (price to be announced).
The Canon EOS R retails for P147,998 body only and P214,998 with the RF24-105mm USM Kit at Canon dealers nationwide.

Buyers working around rules: Harcourts
Banks are willing to turn a blind eye to borrowers who use personal loans from other lenders to pull together their deposits, says Harcourts chief executive Hayden Duncan.
Wednesday, January 22nd 2014, 12:00AM
by Susan Edmunds
Since October, banks have only been allowed to lend one in 10 of their new loans to borrowers with a deposit of 20%.
But in the latest MarketWatch, Harcourts says that first-home buyers who were stopped in their tracks by the new LVR rules have since figured out that there are other ways around them. "Lenders have also adapted and are offering flexible and creative solutions."
Duncan said that often meant using a non-bank lender, such as Resimac, which offers lending to borrowers who do not meet the 20% deposit threshold. Many lenders were doing deals with broker groups, he said.
But he said even mainstream banks were not checking where deposits had come from. Gifting had become a lot easier, he said, and people were raising money through other loans.
"You can take out a personal loan and go and apply for a mortgage with another bank. You're borrowing more than 80% but across multiple banks," he said.
It is something that the Reserve Bank seems to have its eye on.
Before Christmas, it issued a consultation paper saying it was not its desire to force banks to include a customer's personal loans and credit cards when calculating their LVR.
But it said it wanted lenders to work within the spirit of the rules, and proposed a new identification and verification requirement for deposits, so the banks would have to be aware of where each deposit had come from.
Duncan said he did not think the proposal would change anything. "It's one thing for the Reserve Bank to say the banks should do something but the banks are in the business of lending money. They're incentivised heavily around their profitability and viability to lend."

The Democrats are striking while the iron is hot. They just announced that the first open hearing of the Trump impeachment inquiry will take place next Wednesday.
This is gonna be some fun, you bet. GOP House member Jim "He groped me coach!" Jordan just held court for reporters, and like the Visa commercials, it was priceless. Jordan, who has accused the Democrats of cherry picking favorable tidbits from the closed door depositions to leak to the press to tar Trump, just spent his time cherry picking the most arcane and nonsensical snippets to try to muddy the water. Adam Schiff is going to have no end of joy trying to keep this particular howler monkey under control. Thank God that the state attorneys are going to do the major part of the questioning, although if Jordan replaces Devin "Midnight Run" Nunes, as the ranking minority member, he will get questioning time up front equal to that of Chairman Adam Schiff.
For those of you who were unable to catch his performance, i have included a video copy of it below.
To know the future, look to the past. before the insanity of the 2020 election, relive the insanity of the 2016 GOP primary campaign, and the general election, to see how we got to where we are.

The introduction of Hanuma Vihari in the Test team has strengthened India's middle-order. He has done a spectacular job scoring two fifties and a century against West Indies and shunned all his critics. With the South Africa series in line, the young batsman is looking forward to playing his first Test at home.

Hanuma Vihari so far has played six Test matches in his career, all of them outside India. He will be playing his first five-day match in his home soil when India begin their campaign against South Africa on October 2 in Visakhapatnam. Vihari said that he is looking forward to it and ready to make a mark.

"First time, I will be playing international in India for India. It is very exciting. That too in Vizag, my home association. I am looking forward to it," he said on Thursday.
The Andhra cricketer has got enough time to prepare for the home series after returning from the Caribbean Island. Hanuma Vihari has been training in the National Cricket Academy for the last 15 days and is ready to get going against the Proteas.
"Last 15 days, I have been at NCA. I have been preparing well for the South African series," he said.

Hanuma Vihari also added that he is ready to play all the formats but the selection depends on the selectors. He also added that it was a good feeling to score his maiden Test century in front of his childhood coach R Sridhar, who is currently the fielding coach of India
"Obviously, it was very fitting that Sridhar sir was there in the dressing room when I got my first hundred. I can only imagine how emotional he was and it was a special day. Obviously, he was there throughout, starting of my career to till now, he was always there. As I said, it is very fitting that he was there in the dressing room," Vihari concluded.

On January 14th, those in the entertainment industry held their breath as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for the 2016 Oscar Awards. Once the announcements were made, it was as though a bomb went off across online news sources and social media, #OscarSoWhite began going viral, and film fans prepared themselves for yet another white-washed awards season.
Mirroring the 2015 Oscars, this year all twenty actors nominated share one similar attribute, their race. Not one actor of color received recognition from the Academy, despite stellar performances by numerous black actors. This could include performances by Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson in the sports-drama Creed, Abraham Attah and Idris Elba in war-drama Beasts of No Nation, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, and O'Shea Jackson Jr. in the music bio-pic Straight Outta Compton, and Benicio del Toro in the crime thriller Sicario.
However, the most criticized picks are the nominees for Best Picture. The Academy can nominate up to ten films for this award, yet only nominated eight. The films nominated were The Martian, The Revenant, Mad Max: Fury Road, Room, Bridge of Spies, Spotlight, The Big Short, and Brooklyn. Many have complained that the Academy failed to recognize two of what many consider to be the best films of 2015, Straight Outta Compton and Beasts of No Nation. Notably, these films feature predominantly black casts. So how is it that the Academy simply overlooked these equally qualified films, especially when they had two more nomination spots?
While all of the films nominated for Best Picture were worthy of recognition and received critical praise, most do not feature a diverse cast or crew, nor do they represent the amount of such diverse films released this year. From the highly praised Tangerine—which featured transgender actors in trans roles—to Dope, an indie film about black geeks. 2015 was a year with so many incredible diverse films and outstanding black actors, and that is something that should be celebrated at the prestigious Academy Awards.
The answer may trace back to the Academy itself. A 2012 survey by the Los Angeles Times showed that 94% of members were white and 77% were male, the average member age being 62. These numbers are not representative of moviegoers in a nation where minorities make up 40% of the population. It's no wonder diverse actors are robbed of proper recognition at the Awards—it's a minority lost in a white majority, and it is not right. The data goes further: the Academy is broken up into fifteen branches and some of these branches are made up of white males exclusively. While not necessarily deliberately racist, it leaves entire categories in the hands of a homologous voting pool. The Academy Board has 43 members, of which six are women, and only one person of color. As an avid film watcher, these numbers are disheartening.
Many actors have voiced frustration in response to the all-white nominations. Lupita Nyong'o stated that "The Awards should not dictate the terms of art in our modern society, but rather be a diverse reflection of the best of what our art has to offer today." Actress Jada Pinkett Smith and director Spike Lee announced that they plan to boycott the awards this year. The boycott has gained support from a wide and diverse group of celebrities, including Mark Ruffalo, Tyrese Gibson, and Snoop Dog.
Amid the controversy, Academy president, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, stepped forward to state that she is "both heartbroken and frustrated about the lack of inclusion… it's time for big changes." The Academy has in fact announced "an ambitious global campaign" to increase the diversity among members. So while this year's Oscars will be "So White", there is hope that the issue will be fully addressed, and that in the future, we may see more black actors taking the stage to receive much-deserved recognition.

|Tags: how to draw deadpool characters
Description: I was playing around with some sketching for Deadpool because I wanted to do something that was different and unique. So as I sat there thinking about what to draw, it hit me that maybe a concept of Deadpool with his swords in a crisscross style framing the bottom part of his face would be cool. I'm a big time Deadpool fan especially after watching the movie so here is my take on a Deadpool concept art piece that I think will be enjoyed by other fans of this Marvel Comics superhero. His face stays the same and although the swords are not in full form, I think it showcases Deadpool's character nicely. Anyways, go ahead and have a good time. I still have more submissions so don't stray too far away.

The Steel Construction Institute has played a key role in the development and certification of light steel framing in the UK for over 20 years
The role that offsite construction solutions can play in solving our national need for more housing is clear to all. While there have been previous false dawns, this time looks different because while aspirations will always be susceptible to falling by the wayside under pressure from other drivers, we cannot change the reality of an ageing workforce. Different, less labour-intensive ways of building are needed, that also deliver the productivity, speed and quality goals set by government.
Light Steel Framing Group
SCI's journey with light steel framing began in the early 1990s. The Light Steel Framing Group (LSFG) was formed with the aim of bringing together parties from across the supply chain so that British Steel could understand needs and fund SCI and others to develop solutions that would help assure the quality of light steel framing. A range of design guides was produced, aimed at both architects and engineers, and covering key technical aspects including structure, acoustics, durability and fire.
More recently, the LSFG morphed into the Light Steel Forum Membership of the forum is limited to manufacturers, who fund the group and its activities, which they direct through quarterly steering group meetings. The emphasis remains on producing generic technical information to help inform and convince specifiers, and ensure things are done properly
As well as developing generic guidance, SCI has a long history of providing third-party assurance for proprietary light gauge steel products. While some may feel aggrieved that Modern Methods of Construction sometimes have to satisfy more onerous demands than traditional forms, we recognise this as perfectly reasonable given the shorter track record to rely on. The SCI light gauge accreditation scheme was developed to complement guidance and go hand-in-hand with a desire to ensure light gauge steel solutions were high quality. In a sector where the cost of entry is relatively low, British Steel was well aware of the reputational damage that could be done to the sector by some poor practice.
This scheme evolved into the SCI Assessed scheme, which is much broader and has the flexibility to cover things as diverse as a manufacturer's engineering methodology to load-span tables. While SCI Assessed continues, we are now offering a third-party Product Certification scheme to meet market needs.
SCI Product Certification
Our Product Certificates cover not only technical content, be that concerning structure, acoustics or fire, but also factory production control to provide assurance that a certified product is, and does, what is claimed. The current scope of certification includes:
- Roofing and cladding.
- External wall systems (infill).
- Light steel framing systems.
- Modular building units.
We are aware of frustrations felt by specifiers that the scope of a third-party certificate is not always clear. They do not want to have to read the small print before having assurance that a product will do what they want it to do, or being able to fairly compare different products.
For each of the groups listed above, we have a separate Technical Scheme Document that clearly defines the scope of what we will assess and how we will assess it. This ensures that different certificates within a family are immediately comparable – a given certificate may not cover everything (scope is a function of what the certificate holder supplies) but any gaps will be clearly stated on the certificate.
We have also put considerable effort into ensuring that the information and evidence that we require and will accept reflects what is done in practice – for example, we state no preference between designs to the Eurocodes and earlier British Standards, as we know both are still used and indeed both are allowed by the Building Regulations.
There is far too much talk about innovation and disruptive solutions. We don't want 'different' for the sake of it, we want continuous improvement. Sometimes that improvement will come through a significant change, an innovation, and we need third-party certification schemes, such as that offered by SCI, to ensure that the benefits are achieved without paying an unforeseen price. We also need to ensure that such schemes do not stifle innovation.

In October miners of the Mezhegeyugol, a part of Evraz, dug out 1731 meters of rock, having set a record in Russia.
Each day the miners were able to dig some 60 to 70 meters of rock.
In December 2017 Mezhegeyugol miners set their first digging record – 1337 meters. At that time it was the best result all over the country. (Ukrainian metal)

Unlike mirror trading, a method that allows traders to copy specific strategies, copy trading links a portion of the copying trader's funds to the account of the copied investor. Any trading action made thenceforth by the copied investor, such as opening a position, assigning Stop Loss and Take Profit orders, or closing a position, are also executed in the copying trader's account according to the proportion between the copied investor's account and the copying trader's allotted copy trading funds.
These days, most decent traders would have their performance displayed for the world to see and better yet, for anyone to copy. There are 2 main groups of forex traders, the first are those who like to attend forex trading seminars and attempt to trade currencies manually on their own. The second group are those who just want to make money with as little learning as possible. For the latter group trade copying or mirror trading is the perfect solution.
The way copy trading is conducted can be widely variable on the platform you choose. However, the basic principle remains the same. You invest a part of your portfolio in a certain trader and copy all their trades in a percentage-based manner. In the interest of diversification, most sites wouldn't allows you to invest more than 20% of your portfolio in the hands of a single trader. This is a very good policy because sometimes traders seem better than they are or they simply hit a bad streak. When that happens, you don't want to have invested too much in them.
If you can explore various trade copy services you can find out some key challenges when utilizing such websites: You will realize that many of the traders on such sites are punting and betting that their trader is successful once they begin copying their trades, and have absolutely no idea how or what the trader is trading. There is habit of a herd mentality with the assumption that a trader with many followers should be good. There is often insufficient information on such sites for anyone to make an informed decision as to whether or not to invest in such systems.
At the end of the day, it is still a human at the other end managing trades. Even if you are copying an expert advisor, there is a person who is ensuring the EA stays online. Since the person you are copying is often half way around the world, there is always the chance that he or she makes a mistake which wipes out the account. In other words, you can't really know who you are investing with.

The richness of the written word.... no hashtags, no text-abbrevs
"On the single strand of wire strung to bring our house electricity, grackles and starlings neatly punctuated an invisible sentence."
― John Updike
"It was an awkward dance, with death calling the tune, and in a way, I felt sorry for Halderson who was simply trying to be kind."
-- William Kent Krueger in Ordinary Grace.
" The day after that, all the children disappeared, as if London had shrugged and the small people had fallen off the edge."
- Lissa Evans in Crooked Heart
"The flush on her cheeks and the brightness in her eyes, somewhat feverish in origin though he guessed it to be, gave her a vital quality that accentuated the appeal of her youth. Mordecai Tremaine's sentimental soul described a somersault."
- Francis Duncan in Murder for Christmas
Yoyobon, I liked that sentence very much, too.
"Hold to the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past."
Ulysses by James Joyce
"Perhaps I could have saved him, with only a word, two words, out of my mouth. Perhaps I could have saved us all. But I never spoke them."
(Alan Paton: Too Late the Phalarope).
"He appeared at our house on a Sunday in November 189---. I still say "our" house, though it is ours no longer; nearly fifteen years have passed since we left the neighborhood, and we shall not be going back to it."
(Alain-Fournier: The Lost Domain (le Grand Meaulnes).)
"The driver put the cab in gear and Broadway began slipping by the windows like a string of lights being pulled off a Christmas Tree."
- Amor Towles in Rules of Civility
" One of the pleasantest of all emotions is to know that I , I with my brain and my hands, have nourished my beloved few, that I have concocted a stew or a story, a rarity or a plain dish, to sustain them truly against the hungers of the world."
- M.F.K. Fisher
"Writing was like prying a cactus sticker from beneath my skin. Sometimes the process was painful, but it felt better once it came out, and only then could the healing start."
-Dave Boling in his novel The Lost History of Stars
I just read this in News of the World by Paulette Jiles. It's not what you'd call eloquent, but it sure rang true. Following a couple days of hot pursuit and a gunfight during which the character (Captain Kidd) barely managed to stay alive and protect his young charge, this:
"Captain Kidd looked up and enviously considered the chickens -- so daft, so stupid, so uninformed."
LOL........I may or may not entertain that thought on a daily basis !
"For he loved the Trachis winters, when all the summer cottages were closed and the island tucked into itself, a closed shell, a clam: the snow squalls in the afternoons, fires in the hearth, and the short, pink twilights with the sun racing into the sea."
-- Brad Kessler in Birds in Fall
By the writer and 'cultural historian' David Lowenthal, US academic, in response to each generation's attempt to re-write history by selective suppression (eg statues of controversial figures being removed)
"History can be hard to digest. But it must be swallowed whole to undeceive the present and edify the future."
From his book The Past is a Different Country.
This is from a letter to her readers written by Louise Penny :
"Ring the bells that stil can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in. "
Yoyo, were you aware that these words are taken from a poem by the late Leonard Cohen? (they are not original to Penny). Last year I attended a marvelous workshop on the music, poetry, and life of Cohen here in Charleston, SC, as part of the annual Spoletto Festival.
I understood that they were not her own words by the way she had inserted them in italics into her letter. I have meant to google them to find the source .
Those words struck me very deeply and reminded me of so many of life's painful challenges and consequent meanings.
" 'All is bright.' Crie's exquisite voice played in the rafters with the lights then slipped under the door of the old chapel and danced with the gently falling snowflakes and parked cars and bare maples. The words of the old carol glided across the frozen pond and nested in the Christmas trees and seeped into every happy home in Three Pines. "
-from A Fatal Grace by Louise Penny
Beautiful. No wonder so many of us want to go live in Three Pines.
Just found a comment for readers: Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are. Mason Cooley.
Two quotes from the last book I read, The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon:
"We sat in silence. I knew straightaway that Walter Bishop was the kind of person you could sit in silence with. There were very few people like that, I had found. Most grown-ups liked to fill a silence with conversation. Not important, necessary conversation, but a spray of words that served no purpose other than to cover up the quiet."
"It's the small decisions, the ones that slip themselves into your day unnoticed, the ones that wrap their weight in insignificance. These are the decisions that will bury you".
The first quote reminds me of a Maisie Dobbs philosophy which she practices .
This evocative sentence interrupted my reading flow, making me read it multiple times:
"The most delicious meal of her life, she said, had been chargrilled octopus, which she'd eaten at sunset in an unassuming harbor front taverna one late summer evening on Naxos."
from Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine by Gail Honeyman
" As we walked to the dining room that evening, I could almost hear the heavy fabric of Angela's lifelong disappointment swishing. This was to be a silent meal. I dreaded it already. "
from The Shape Of Mercy by Susan Meissner
President Warren Harding was an orator, but his bloviations were an army of pompous phrases moving across the landscape in search of an idea.— Harold Evans, New York Times Book Review,
Two quotes from Virgil Wander by Leif Enger:
"Insomniacs have a leg up in the reading game …"
"Reliable is exactly what he was. Yet it was also true he had a headful of spiders which woke now and then and altered his personal scenery."
"...and a weather-tanned face that had got so used to being handsome all its life that it was handsome still, and always would be."

Thanks Jim.
Hindsight is 20/20. All the communications I had with NPR, which included my traveling to DC and meeting with who I thought was the right person, came to naught. Their myopic view of DAWs was singularly focused on their funding of Sonic Solutions as you say. To have changed and allowed MTU in would have been tantamount to admitting their mistake. At the time that we needed to see some progress with NPR, it was not possible. Such is life.
I can say that even this week I have discussed trying to take parts of the Microeditor Paradigms and embed them into a new software-only product. This discussion happened when one of our contractors was trying to do the equivalent of create a simple segment, and then go back and extend its ending to now include more of the original file. Sound Forge wouldn't allow it, and we wasted minutes going back to the orginal and redoing a new file.
Thus, I can truly say there was never a point where I made a FIRM DECISION that MTU would never again take up Microeditor. If there had been, I would have said so. The technology we have in source code is still extremely valuable, if we could see a way to penetrate a viable market.
However, to survive, as we have in the past, we migrated to a new emerging market - Karaoke - that allowed a small company to thrive. We are on the verge of making some major thrusts this month that may change the way Karaoke is done. It will be our first attempt to change an industry other than defining the bleeding edge... and others reaping the profits of our pioneering work.
Time will tell. Bryan often reminds me our current market does not have the savy or technical chops that our Microsound customers did. Tis true, and we miss you guys a lot.
I hope you and your wife have a Merry christmas!
Making Karaoke the best it can be!

Common Causes of Debt and How to Avoid Them
January 30, 2019 Leave a comment
Almost every household in the USA carries at least some debt. The simple explanation for debt is that you spend more money than you make, but there may be some less obvious factors that have contributed to your accumulation of debt. Taking the time to think about how you got into debt could help you avoid similar mistakes in the future. These are 6 of the most common causes of debt and how to avoid them:
1. Loss of Income
The sudden loss of a steady income can quickly lead to debt and financial troubles. You may be laid off, fired, or experience a decline in your personal business. You may need to take time away from work or leave the workforce completely to care for a child, an aging family member, or attend to your personal health needs. After the sudden loss of income, you may become overwhelmed by everyday expenses, and debt can easily build up.
One of the best ways to defend against this kind of debt is to build an emergency fund. In times of financial health, live below your means and put any extra money into savings. An emergency fund should be able to cover at least six months of expenses, so even if your income declines unexpectedly you will have the financial support you need to get back on your feet
2. Medical Expenses
As one of the leading causes of bankruptcy in America, medical costs can easily push someone into debt totaling tens of thousands of dollars or more. With expensive treatments and high premiums, even those with health insurance can struggle with medical debt. When facing medical expenses, people will turn to savings or even credit cards to pay for their care. Since you can never predict what your health will be like in the future, it is best to take precautions now to prevent medical debt. Enroll in a good health insurance program. Even if paying for health insurance will cost you more now, trying to pay out of pocket for a medical emergency in the future could be financially devastating. You can also plan to include potential medical expenses in your emergency fund.
3. Expanding Families
The cost of raising a child is estimated to be around $250,000.00 from birth all the way through to adulthood. So, even if you feel you have plenty of extra money, having a kid can quickly change that. The new financial responsibility of raising a child can also be affected by the need for childcare. Paying for childcare can be so expensive that it can be cost prohibitive, causing some cases families to live on one income so one parent can stay home to care for the child(ren).
Whether you are a single-income or multiple-income home, the expenses of raising a child can quickly add up. Start saving before you have kids and prioritize saving throughout your child's life. Prepare yourself by investigating the best childcare options for your specific financial situation before having children. Ideally, wait to have kids until your income will support adding a little one into the mix.
4. Divorce
A lot of financial changes take place after a divorce. With each person going from two incomes to one income and the added expenses of alimony, child support and legal fees, getting divorced can be very expensive. When facing divorce, it is important for couples to look critically at the financial impact of their decisions.
Often, the more amicable the split, the less likely it is that the divorce will have disastrous financial consequences for both people. If couples can agree to work together financially through a divorce, they can lower their legal costs and normally find more mutually agreeable results. Working through an arbitrator or divorce mediator can further save money on legal fees that accumulate when working within the court system. By working together, couples can come up with a solution that is financially best for everyone involved.
5. College Costs
For many young people today, crippling college debt has become the norm. Student loans add up quickly and sometimes recent graduates are not prepared to make the loan payments they accumulated getting their degree.
As a parent, you can help your future college graduate by starting to save for their college education as soon as possible. If you are student facing the expense of college alone, there are ways to reduce your student loan debts. Make smart choices about the schools you attend. Private schools may have the name or the prestige you think you need, but remember they offer the same degree that you will be getting from a state school. You also don't have to start college right after high school or go to college full time. Working before and during college is a great way to offset expenses.
6. Lack of Insurance
Both in the case of individuals and businesses, not having adequate insurance can send people scrambling during an emergency. Home owners insurance, car insurance, and medical insurance can all make a huge difference when disaster strikes. Insurance is an essential aspect of financial planning. Take the time to understand your insurance policy. What does it cover? Would that coverage be enough to get you through an emergency? Being uninsured or under-insured can land you in huge debt if you are faced with a sudden unfortunate event.
It can be easy to fall into debt. Taking the time now to analyze your financial situation and plan for the future can reduce your risk of falling into the above debt traps. No two people have the same debt problem. At Veitengruber Law, we offer individualized debt management services to help you get back to financial health and security if you have occurred debt that you can't seem to shake. We can also help you set up a plan to avoid accruing debt in the first place. Call us today at 732-852-7295 for your free debt management consultation!

The Basics of Hydrogen Generation
July 22, 2013
For most of us chemistry lessons are a dim and distant memory, so an article about the workings of a hydrogen gerator might seem like a horrifying reminder of school days past. In fact, the basic principles behind H2 generation are surprisingly easy to grasp – one of the things that makes hydrogen such a fascinating source of renewable energy. We'll use the refueling station of the i-H2GO as an example of a simple system.
Let's start with a quick recap about water. Water's chemical name is, of course, H2O, which just means two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen. Due to the way these two elements are bonded, the hydrogen atoms have a very slight positive charge while the oxygen carries a slight negative charge. However, as long as the molecules remain bonded the overall charge of water is neutral. Therefore, one of the easiest and cleanest ways to generate hydrogen is just to split water into its component atoms – separate out the hydrogen from the oxygen. This is where the refueling station comes in.
The i-H2GO refueling station us a simplified version of a process that happens on a much larger scale in certain kinds of industrial generators. The key component of the station is the 'electrolyzer' – this is the device that separates the hydrogen from the oxygen. A basic electrolyzer consists of: a negative electrode called a cathode, a positive electrode called an anode, a battery to power the electrodes and water with soluble salt.
The principle is straightforward. Once the water is poured in and the battery is switched on, the positively charged hydrogen particles (ions) are attracted to the cathode while the negatively charged oxygen heads for the anode. The reason for the salt is that pure water is a poor conductor of electricity – about one millionth as conductive as salt water. The i-H2GO refueling station uses the exact same principle but has an electrolyzer that's a little fancier. There are three layers – top and bottom are the anode and the cathode, and in the middle is a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) which replaces the salt solution. The membrane is a fantastic medium for the hydrogen ions to travel through and means we can avoid contaminating the water. However, it also requires a layer of platinum either side of the membrane to act as a catalyst.
The hydrogen builds up around the cathode and quickly its forced through a tube leading from the cathode to the gas chamber under the plunger. As the chamber fills the plunger is pushed upwards. The oxygen leaves the system via the bubble valve, hence the tiny bubbles that emerge when therefueling station is up and running.
So there you have the essential principles behind generating hydrogen from water. Ideally the battery that charges the electrolyzer will itself be charged by renewable energy – the iH2GO comes with a solar panel for just this reason. Then, every stage of the process is eco-friendly and, more importantly, self-sustaining.

Netherlands Overijssel Kampen
Once a prestigious trading center, this medieval city retains a well-preserved historic center and an array of cultural landmarks.
Kampen has one of the best preserved old town centres of the Netherlands, including remains of the ancient city wall (of which three gates are still standing) and numerous churches. Also notable are the three bridges over the IJssel which connect Kampen with IJsselmuiden and Kampereiland. A number of better or lesser known people with a certain connection with Kampen is honoured with a commemorative stone bearing their name and a single-sentence characterization of their personality or achievements, incorporated into the pavement of the Oude Raadhuisplein, the square in between the old town hall, the former Post Office and Nieuwe Toren.Continue reading...
