The last advice of the article that Karen sent us was: read. The author of Want To Be Taken Seriously? Become a Better Writer, reads one book a month and 20 articles a week.
I got the one book a month under control, probably more. I love to read. I try to get through my weekly magazine every week but some how I think I'm way behind. I have not even started reading Design magazines. Although I do read articles online. Does he really read all those articles or does he skim them? Besides he is an author, so he writes and reading would go along with that. I'm trying to create art so I look at a lot of art to get ideas. Not that I disagree with his advice.
I did read a few articles today while waiting. I was looking to see how my favorite magazine ended their articles. Do they have summaries? I guess a little more than I did. But they always have a parting short. So maybe I just needed a one line summary before my parting shot.

Damascus/Geneva, 21 April 2016 – IFRC Secretary General, Mr Elhadj As Sy, has praised the courage and dedication of Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) volunteers, and renewed his call for increased international support so that these efforts can be sustained. Speaking at the end of a visit to Syria, Mr Sy highlighted the work of volunteers who have been at the front line of the humanitarian response to the country's half-decade long conflict.
"Yesterday SARC teams came under fire while on duty in Madaya and Zabadani. Despite this, they continued their mission of evacuating people, risking their lives for the sake of humanity," said Mr Sy.
"Even when things are at their most difficult, there are people in every community that step forward to try to make life bearable for those who are suffering," said Mr Sy. "Red Crescent volunteers are among these people. They are an inspiration to us, and it is the responsibility of all parties to ensure that they can carry out their work in safety."
Since the conflict began in 2011, 53 SARC and 8 Palestine Red Crescent Society volunteers and staff have been killed in the line of duty.
"The international community must do a better job of supporting local actors, such as the Red Crescent, in their response to the crisis in Syria. More help is needed to ensure that these volunteers can continue their lifesaving work, and to ensure that their lives are protected," he said.
More than 13.5 million people are in need of assistance throughout Syria. SARC, with the support of its partners, has been at the forefront of the humanitarian response since the beginning of the conflict, delivering aid to communities across the country. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has also played a critical role, including through the support it has provided to SARC.
These programmes include the distribution of cash and relief assistance, water, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities, and providing psychosocial support. SARC is the primary local provider of humanitarian assistance in Syria, reaching more than 4.5 million people every month.
In recent weeks, airdrops of relief to the isolated city Deir ez Zor have underlined the importance of SARC's network of local volunteers. In collaboration with the World Food Programme, air-dropped relief supplies are now being distributed by Red Crescent volunteers to people throughout the city.
During his visit, Mr Sy saw a range of Red Crescent activities that are supported by the IFRC, including relief distributions and mobile health centres in Rural Damascus. He travelled to Homs, where he saw first-hand the positive impact of livelihood recovery projects on local communities. a growing programme of SARC that is supported by a broad range of Movement partners.
Mr Sy also met with the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr Faysal Moukdad, and discussed the important role that the Red Cross Red Crescent has played in Syria to date, as well as the plans of the IFRC to support the growth and development of SARC.

The UNCC is a Military and Exploratory Organization that appears in Star Warfare 2: Payback.
The UNCC is the Human Military and Exploratory Force the Player (PT003) will be representing for the Campaign mode of Star Warfare 2: Payback. PT003 receives commissions from the UNCC to complete certain objectives, where such dialogues generally serve as the narration and tutorial for the Campaign. While there is very little background information regarding the UNCC, it is possible more will be revealed in the near future as the story, and subsequently the game, progresses.
The Military Component of the Organization is mobilized to respond to the rising threat of Alien activity resulting in abundance of Mithril ore. The Aliens spawn on mithril-rich territories through the use of portals. The UNCC Forces are commisioned with planetary landing tasks to obliterate these portals and delay the Alien onslaught.
The UNCC also seems like a well-funded organization, as it has integrated a laboratory (Exploratory Purposes) into the Banished Battlefield. In the same map, it can be seen that the UNCC is able to afford military hardware such as anti-aircraft emplacements and battle tanks. The UNCC also initiated the UNCC Family of Military Equipment, which is the fruit of UNCC's R&D (Research and Development). The equipment from this family of hardware can be purchased from the store, with the prefix UNCC. However, such equipment are considered basic when compared to end-game equipment, which are forged with alien technology. The Organization can also afford automated defense systems, armored personnel carriers, and various models of spacecraft.
Affliations with PT003
The Organization seems to have coerced the Player (PT003) into military service by kidnapping Dr. Cunningham, who is a key figure to the Mithril Energy Research. Notably, after Stage 2-4, Lt. Bill will assure PT003 that the hostages are released and have safely returned home.
PT003 generally does not have confidence in the UNCC, as he states that "He decides to explore the core with the only force that he can trust. Himself".
Strangely, the UNCC abducted a scientist involved in Mithril Energy Research, even though the UNCC is commissioned to defend the colonial human interest in Mithril Energy.
The abduction of human hostages suggest that the organization may not be a governmental agency, but instead a large Paramilitary Force established to counter the Alien onslaught, where the mobilization of government troops are futile in suppressing the Alien hordes. This is reinforced by "UNCC rule number 56- if you can't beat them, join them". This is perceived to be a rather aberrant statement. This is furthered by a quote by Henry John Temple Lord Palmerston featured in one of the missions: "No country has permanent friends, only permanent interests."
However, there is a possibility the organization may be affliated to a government. Although governmental agencies generally do not commit to such measures to acheive its objectives, the rising alien aggression may be a desperate predicament where agencies like the UNCC exploit such means to recruit elite combatants for their military operations.
The UNCC consists of more than one scientist since it states that "UNCC scientists" developed the equipment in some in-store descriptions.

Dancing in the Dark
My daughter started high school this September, and we are floundering, groping for a life preserver in harrowing seas, searching for something to hang on to before the next wave pulls us under. Not her, my daughter – oh no, she is having the time of her life – but we, as in my husband and I, and my comrades, grade eight moms with whom I drink wine.
They make it look so easy on Glee, the parents don't even have a role to play. Which is exactly the point. I wasn't quite ready to not play a part.
We were excited to start high school, and this time I mean both my daughter and I. Eight years in the same school, ten if you count preschool, and we were ready for a change. Change is good, keeps you young, invigorates your mind, restores sanity ( so I'm hoping). Even though change meant leaving her idyllic and inspiring elementary school, we squared our shoulders and bought a new, sturdier backpack for those heavy textbooks she would be hauling back and forth, and showed up for the first day wearing new, albeit ripped, jeans and a slightly nervous smile.
It turned out to be as shiny as the apple she refused to eat, having discovered pizza bagels in the cafeteria. High school was all that and more: locating her classes and navigating between campuses was challenging and interesting, bigger classes and a much larger school meant more friends, more boys, more teams, more clubs, more everything. All good, all exciting, two thumbs up, four if you count mine. (I personally had a little trouble finding her classes for parent teacher night, so let's downgrade that to three, but why am I even in the picture?) My daughter was loving high school, is loving high school.
The problem, however, is she outgrew her knee-highs and grew into a social life overnight, while I simply rolled over in my sleep.
In the good old days, like two months ago, she did what we did on the weekend. If that meant trooping to her sister's soccer game and then visiting friends for dinner, we did it together. But not now. Now there are football games to watch and movies to go to and mass sleepovers to attend and dances and the all-worrisome parties. Our measly social life is in peril, our babysitter is perennially busy. That is sad, seeing as we have only recently rekindled our dormant extracurricular lives; but what is even worse is this feeling that our cozy little bubble, the one that was all-knowing, all-hearing, all-seeing, due to my ability to hover over my daughter and discuss with other parents the innermost thoughts of our children (and occasionally break into her computer when there were discrepancies), this bubble has been burst open to reveal one single bold question mark.
I knew that starting high school would be the beginning of new independence for her, even went so far as to wish for it; I just didn't expect it to hit so quickly.
So now we are scrambling to find and institute new boundaries. Huddling with other parents to compare notes and gather whatever information we can. Enrolling in social media lectures to help with this affront. I book her weeks in advance for babysitting, and ignore her inevitable eye roll.
And now we hope. Hope that all of those lessons we droned into her made some tiny impact, and that the choices she will make – without us hovering – will be good ones.
Consistently Inconsistent
If I were to pluck a parenting book off a shelf, I'd wager there's something between those pages about the importance of consistency. As in, you should react roughly the same way in similar situations. As in, the same rules should roughly apply for each member of the family. Roughly, right?
It sounds simple on paper, yet is astoundingly difficult in practice. When it comes to parenting, the only thing I am consistent about is being inconsistent.
I ruminated on this when I woke up clinging to the edge of our king size mattress, as my seven year-old lay stretched out like a snow angel in the middle of the bed, and my husband clung to the opposite side. We had been militant about not bringing our first and second children into our bed, lest it become a habit. Yet our third child lands between our sheets on a nightly basis, and we barely bat an eye. (We were right about one thing: it is habit forming.)
We barely recognize ourselves, and hardly know how we got here. Are we simply too tired of resisting? Are we susceptible to her status as our baby? Or have we simply relaxed our views on co-sleeping? Probably a little of each.
When my oldest child was two, I enrolled her in swimming lessons, gymnastics, preschool, and skating lessons. For the skating lessons, I recall dressing her like she was about to summit Everest, and then watched her crawl – CRAWL – around the ice with a marker in her hand, colouring on the ice, for twenty minutes. The dressing up and dressing down took longer than the lesson itself. It was ridiculous in so many ways, but to be fair it was as much about me getting out of the house than about her learning double axels.
In comparison, my third child has recently taken her first set of swimming and skating lessons at the tender age of seven, and only because she begged me. The reasons for this one are more obvious: I've learned that until a certain age, these activities are useless, and I'm already too busy driving my other children around.
These are just the tips on my parenting iceberg. There are so many other examples – I can't recall one time I have punished kids number two and three beyond telling them not to do something. Yet my first child has had so many time-outs it rivaled her time-ins. We have reels of videos of our oldest saying her ABC's before she was two, but I had to give my second child a crash course on them the day before she started kindergarten.
With each child I've birthed, my parenting persona has done a triple toe loop. My over-bearing grip loosened with my second child, and then relaxed almost completely with my third. I'm inclined to blame it on my laziness, but I see it happening in families around me as well: generally speaking, parents chill more with each passing baby.
I once read a book about how your birth order affects your personality, suitably titled Birth Order and You (there was no chapter about being the ninth child, however, so no clues into my own quirks and oddities – judging by my own parenting, it's amazing I was even named.) Otherwise, it was strangely accurate in its depictions of oldest, middle, youngest, and only children – I recognized a few of my siblings, and lots of my friends, in its characterizations. It's fair to assume these personality traits are borne from the expectations and treatment by their main influences, their parents.
So I'm part of a predictable trend that creates headstrong firstborns, peacekeeping middle children, and smart but spoiled youngest children. (As my baby hogs my pillow, I detect a slight smile on her slumbering lips, and although my shoulder is killing me, I don't dare change positions in the event that I wake her.) At least there is comfort in numbers.
Do you fit the birth order stereotypes? And if you're a parent, have you unwittingly changed your tactics as your herd has grown?

HBO has handed renewals to comedy shows Silicon Valley and Barry.
Silicon Valley has been renewed for season six less than a month after the show returned for season five. The show takes a comic look at the modern-day epicenter of the high-tech gold rush, where the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success. It stars Thomas Middleditch, Josh Brener, Kumail Nanjiani, Martin Starr, Amanda Crew, Zach Woods, and Matt Ross.
Barry has been renewed for season two. Starring Bill Hader, Henry Winkler, Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, Glenn Fleshler, Anthony Carrigan, and Paula Newsome the comedy follows Barry a depressed, low-rent hitman from the Midwest who finds himself drawn into a community of acting students while on a hit job in LA. He wants to start a new life, but his criminal past won't let him walk away.
"While 'Barry' has delighted audiences with its deft interplay of comedy and drama, 'Silicon Valley' remains as brilliantly and frighteningly prescient as ever," said Amy Gravitt, executive vice president of HBO Programming. "We're thrilled that these two smart, funny shows are returning for another season."

Spring Rejuvenation: How to Look and Feel Your Best
The warmer days of spring are an instant mood booster. Too bad our bodies don't switch seasons quite as quickly, or as easily. If you're feeling a little sluggish, packing a few extra pounds, or just tired of looking at your pale skin, take heart. There are ways to improve the way you're feeling that are faster, easier and tons more fun than a seven-day cleanse.
5 Ways to Look and Feel Your Best for Spring
1. Family Affair: Chances are you're not alone in trying to shake off the effects of winter hibernation. Getting your spouse and kids involved will not only make your efforts more enjoyable but will get your family healthy too. Spend time outdoors together on the weekends. Make grocery shopping a family pastime. Have the kids come up with healthy dinner ideas or help prepare meals.
2. Feelgood Foods: What you eat shows up on your body and skin. No surprise there. But did you know food can also affect your mood? An imbalanced gut microbiome can cause dull skin, breakouts and digestive issues. It can also lead to increased feelings of stress and depression. Ditch the processed and sugary foods and opt for healthier eating to look and feel your best. Stock up on organic, seasonally fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean sources of protein and healthy fats. To make sure you are getting enough good bacteria in your gut, add in probiotics from supplements, kombucha, kimchi or sauerkraut. And don't forget plenty of water, too.
3. Skincare Cleanse: There are some excellent skincare swaps that make sense for the season. Try using a detoxifying masque to slough away dead skin cells and clear pores, creating a smoother skin texture and revealing a healthier, more youthful appearance. Eye serums made with naturally brightening plant ingredients can visibly reduce dark circles and make you look more awake. A brightening facial serum is another skincare addition that whisks away the aftermath of a long winter.
4. Nighttime Reboot: No need to eliminate those heavy moisturizers and skin balms. Use these at bedtime to give skin a healthy dose of hydration and you'll awaken to nourished skin. If you feel these are too heavy for the season or are causing breakouts, try a nighttime facial oil made with richly hydrating ingredients. A spring rejuvenation beauty trick – add a few drops of oil to a hydrating facial mist, blend between fingertips, and pat onto skin for a refreshing feel.
5. Fresh Sense: The tulips and daffodils are beginning to surface, and fresh foods sound more appealing with springtime's arrival. Make the most of these heavenly scents that have mood improving properties too. Citrus is cleansing and refreshing, gardenia relieves feelings of depression and anxiety and clears the mind, and jasmine increases feelings of calm and improved libido. Use essential oils in a diffuser to create a home fragrance. Or use skin and body care products that include these ingredients, which all hold beauty benefits, as well.
A few simple substitutions and additions to your routine, and you'll be feeling fresh as a daisy in no time. Cheers to budding beauty and a healthier feeling you.

Just over a year ago, I posted on this page a list of what I thought were the best English-language crime-fiction blogs and Web sites. I did this in response to a bogus assessment along the same lines, perpetrated by a newsfeed aggregator site that had been asking writers to purchase subscriptions to its services in exchange for their sites being listed among its "top 50" blogs for readers of crime, mystery, and thriller fiction. I thought people interested in this genre deserved a more honest rundown of what was found online.
The response to my efforts was overwhelmingly favorable. And it started me thinking that perhaps an annual, or not quite so regular, appraisal of the "best" crime fiction-oriented blogs and Web sites was needed. While there are abundant awards given out every year to novels, short stories, and non-fiction books springing from this genre, only during occasional Bouchercons is there a prize presented for quality in online content—and then, the judging falls to readers with generally narrow scopes of experience in this field, rather than to professional critics evaluating a broader range of sites.
My judgment in this matter is obviously biased. I've been writing The Rap Sheet now for more than a dozen years, and I know what I like and don't like in this arena. I also understand how difficult it is to develop and maintain an active, thoughtful crime-fiction blog, so I look at other such projects through the lens of someone with high expectations as well as a hard-earned knowledge of what can be accomplished when blogging is an unpaid sideline, rather than a full-time occupation.
The Rap Sheet's 2017 catalogue of the best crime-fiction blogs and Web sites featured 66 electronic publications. This year's inventory runs to 95 sites. (New entries have been marked with asterisks.) The greater number isn't because I've loosened my standards; it's simply that I have decided more of these Web projects deserve recognition, and readers of this genre deserve as much help in finding information online as they can get. A few of the blogs I included among last year's listings have since shut down or gone dormant, including Past Offences, Tipping My Fedora, and of course, Bill Crider's Pop Culture Magazine, which became inactive shortly before Crider passed away in February 2018. However, I have added a wide variety of sites both large (such as CrimeReads) and small, covering new as well as classic books.
What I emphasized last year still applies: These are my personal choices. I wouldn't be surprised if other writers and reviewers differ slightly in their opinions of the "best" crime-fiction blogs and Web sites. If I have failed to note any Web resources that you think are also deserving of mention, please feel free to tell everyone about them in the Comments section at the end of this post.

By Boluwaji Obahopo
LOKOJA—THE group of five faction, G5, in the Kogi State House of Assembly crisis, yesterday shunned the House of Representatives Committee raised to look into the crisis rocking the state assembly.
The group spokesperson, Friday Makama had on Wednesday, approached a Federal High Court seeking an injunction to stop the committee from carrying out its assignment.
However, Chairman of the committee, Pally Iriase, described as unfortunate the decision of the G5 faction not to attend the meeting held at the state House of Assembly complex.
Iriase who spoke with newsmen after a meeting with the G15 held at the galley since the chamber was locked said, "We notified all the factions involve about our coming here today (yesterday), for them to have shunned the meeting because they have an injunction against our legitimate duties is unfortunate."
Iriase however said the meeting with the G15 faction and other stakeholders would not be made public, but submitted to the House of Representatives for further deliberation.
According to him: "What we have gathered from respective stakeholders will be related to the National Assembly for further deliberation. We have met with the State governor, the head of the security personal, DSS and also a faction of the Assembly, in due time we will submit our report to the larger House."
Earlier, Iriase had said the committee was closed to brokering peace and settling the lingering crisis in the assembly.
Leader of the committee, Pally Iriase, spoke with newsmen at the Presidential Lodge of the government House; after a closed door meeting with Governor Yahaya Bello, said: "From the perspective of the governor, peace is what he wants. With that it will be easier for us to reach peaceful conclusion soon."
Also speaking, Governor Bello however distanced himself from the crisis and said the legislators were battling protracted internal crisis.
According to him, for the embattled Speaker to link the crisis to him was not only uncharitable but a lie to cover up his inadequacy to manage his members.

In the era of rapid modernization & intense population growth, solid waste management is at crucial point for sustainability, health and inclusive cities and communities. Fastest growing regions are Sub Saharan Africa and South Asia where total waste generation is expected to triple than double by 2050
respectively, making up 35% of the world's waste. We are continuously struggling with the out-of-date landfill strategies that had destroyed our water table and contaminated the water supply systems. With the implications of waste minimisation it can drastically cut down the operational cost of waste management thus indicate that nation is a developed nation. The World Bank reports that the world generates 2.01 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste annually, with at least 33 percent of that—extremely conservatively—not managed in an environmentally safe manner. Worldwide, waste generat- ed per person per day averages 0.74 kilogram but ranges widely, from 0.11 to 4.54 kilograms. Though they only account for 16 percent of the world's population, high-in- come countries generate about 34 percent, or 683 million tonnes, of the world's waste.
For our inaugural year, the conference will focus on Realising The Future Towards Sustainable Waste Manage- ment in Asean Region and presents its own dedicated tracks which aims to challenges your concerns and empow- er you with an in-depth expertise on 'From Planning to Cut- ting-Edge Policy - Waste Management Transformation to Establish a Green Nation', 'Redesigning the Failing Recy- cling System', 'Closing the Loop in the Industrial Sector', 'Where Disruptive Innovations Meet Waste Management' and 'Powering Change - Waste to Energy Horizons'. Our post conference workshop is intended to offer space for our conference attendees engage with our expert in knowing the major steps in Waste to Energy project preparation whilst considering the multitude and complexity factors involved. Through this workshop, you able to evaluate waste as a fuel for power generation, specify technologies and mitigating risks and liabilities.

I was pondering on how much a champions trophy glory might be 'worth' in comparison to a world cup glory.
Is winning two champions trophies sort of equal to winning a world cup? Would you take 2 champions trophies over a world cup? If not, then 3 champions trophies over a world cup?
Basically how much is a CT win really worth?
It's a tournament that is often on the chopping blocks and may not be around in the near future as ICC plan to scrap it again after the next CT in India so maybe that has any bearing on its relative worth?

This article considers the practices of companies worldwide in attempting to implement human rights due diligence (HRDD) as envisaged by the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Based on empirical research conducted through surveys and interviews, it analyses corporate practices in this area. It examines the responses of companies with reference to the core elements of implementing HRDD: identifying actual or potential human rights impacts; taking action to address these impacts; and tracking or monitoring the effectiveness of actions. In addition, the article places these practices in the context of the legal developments in the field of HRDD. The research shows the difference that dedicated HRDD – in comparison with non-human rights specific processes – can make in terms of identifying adverse human rights impacts of both the company as well as of those which are part of its business relationships.
The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights endorse a risk management perspective of human rights due diligence, which may create ambiguities with regard to the nature of risk and the objectives of risk management. By 'human rights risk' we understand a business enterprise's potential adverse human rights impacts. Human rights risk can be contrasted to an enterprise's 'social risk' which refers to the actual and potential leverage that people or groups of people with a negative perception of corporate activity have on the business enterprise's value.
This article puts forward the argument that due diligence in respect of human rights risk is conceptually incompatible with the management of social risk, because social risk management and human rights due diligence vary at each step of the risk management process (risk identification, risk measurement and assessment, risk reduction measures). To resolve this incompatibility, an effective integration of human rights due diligence processes into corporate risk management systems would require an elevation of human rights respect to a corporate goal that determines corporate strategy.
How do companies understand and talk about human rights? Do they consider human rights a moral, legal or political construct? What type of responsibility do they assume in respect of human rights (e.g., direct/indirect, narrow/broad)? Is the language and label of human rights used within day-to-day practice? This article attempts to address these questions by drawing on empirical data collected as part of an in-depth, qualitative study on the development of human rights within 22 UK companies. Through an analysis based on sensemaking, the article explores the meaning of human rights, the grounds used to justify corporate responsibility, and the human rights terminology and labels employed within the corporate setting. It then analyses what this understanding and discourse means for the debate about the role of private entities for the protection of human rights.
This article utilizes the struggles for land rights associated to two sugar cane investments in Cambodia to reflect on the interactions between the multi-territoriality of supply chain capitalism and the multiplication of local spaces of legal intervention. With a combination of legal institutionalism, critical geography and value chains analysis, the article engages with value chains as the new space and form of the global system of production and looks at the theoretical and practical implications that derive from delocalization, outsourcing and the establishment of transnational networks that cut across boundaries and jurisdictions. After discussing the human rights impact of large-scale sugar production in the Koh-Kong region, the article introduces a critical legal chain approach to unpack and make visible the material and legal threads that connect Cambodia with multiple geographies around the world. In its last part, it utilizes the multi-territorial character of production to map its complexity and introduce the notion of 'legal chokeholds'. These are legal structures and spaces of intervention that can be leveraged by human rights scholars, activists and other actors interested in re-defining the way in which rights, bargaining power and value are distributed through the chain of production. The violations and possible defence of the land rights that occurred in Cambodia are thus presented as output of non-linear interactions between legal and non-legal elements that operate at a distance, often unaware of each other.
Human rights have come to play a prominent role in debates about the responsibilities of business. In the business ethics literature, there are two approaches to the question of whether businesses have human rights obligations. The 'moral' approach conceives of human rights as antecedently existing basic moral rights. The 'institutional' approach starts with contemporary human rights practice in which human rights refer to rights enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and subsequent international documents, and in which states are the primary duty bearers of human rights. This commentary argues that the implications of adopting one or the other approach are much greater than most scholars recognize, and that we have reason to reject the moral approach and to adopt the institutional approach instead. The commentary highlights key questions that need to be addressed if human rights are to play a central role in framing the responsibilities of business.
In a series of previous articles I have defended the claim that there are robust, theoretical justifications for concluding that corporations have human rights obligations and that those obligations are distinct from the larger set of human rights obligations that are properly attributed to states. Hsieh claims that corporations do not have human rights obligations. In this reply it is argued that even if one takes what Hsieh refers to as an 'institutional approach' to understanding the human rights obligations of states, corporations are nonetheless properly understood to have human rights obligations regarding those with whom they interact, such as workers, customers and community members.

| 17.3°C Dublin
Malahide completed an impressive pillar-to-post Leinster League Division 1A success when they were crowned champions on Sunday after a 17-16 win away in Ross Road against their nearest challengers Enniscorthy.
It's now on to the next part of the journey for the north Dublin club as they start the battle for Ulster Bank League status via the All-Ireland Provincial League Championship, more affectionately known as the AIL Round Robin.
Malahide have drawn the short straw with two away games, kicking off in Omagh tomorrow week before a home fixture against Clonmel a week later and then there's a break for Easter before they finish up in Ballina on April 22.
On Sunday in Enniscorthy, the visitors were in control for long periods and despite conceding an opening penalty goal they equalised through a similar effort from out-half Conal Keane who then scored the only try of the first half, which he converted. A penalty goal just before the half-time whistle reduced the arrears to four points as the visitors led 10-6 at the break, and they were 11 clear soon after the resumption when Keane added the extras to full-back Dave Mongan's try.
Enniscorthy replied with a pair of tries from full-back Ross Barbour and centre Daniel Pim but failed to add the conversions, meaning it was a bridge too far for the Wexford side.
De La Salle Palmerston finished third despite losing 28-23 in Kilkenny and the Noresiders ended up being relegated when Monkstown snatched a late try to win 22-18 at Dundalk and qualify for the promotion/relegation play-off with Division 1B runners-up Clondalkin (Kirwan Park, tomorrow).
Gorey used home advantage to beat Ashbourne 17-12 in the remaining Division 1A game that edged them into fourth place and grabbed the final All-Ireland Junior Cup qualifying spot from their visitors.
The final Towns Cup third-round tie will also be played on Sunday when Enniscorthy host the holders Wicklow in a repeat of last year's final and the semi-final draw will be conducted immediately afterwards as Tullow and Skerries await their fate.
Tullow comprehensively beat North Kildare 50-0 at home in Black Gates but Skerries had to rely on a late try scored by second-row forward Sean Attley to overcome Clondalkin 21-16 at home in Holmpatrick.
Meanwhile, Suttonians play Co Carlow in the Division 1B/2A play-off at Edenderry Rugby Club, Newbridge and Wexford Wanderers are at Tullow Rugby Club in the Division 2A/2B play-off, while it's Ardee against Midland Warriors in the Division 2B/3 spot at Swords.

Revised negative list for foreign investors unveiled in FTZ
Shanghai released a revised version of negative list today to offer more leeway for foreign investment in the city's pilot free trade zone.
The 2014 version of negative list cut the number of restrictions on foreign investment in China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone to 139 from the previous 190.
In financial industry, foreign investors are no longer barred from finance companies, trust companies and currency brokers.
The updated list also offers more freedom for foreign participation in the real-estate sector by allowing them to invest in the construction and operation of large-scale wholesale markets for agriculture products.
Wholly foreign-funded project is allowed in land development, which was only open to joint ventures. Foreign investment in real-estate agencies is removed from the off-limits category as well.
Foreign investors in medical institutions are no longer subjected to limits such as a minimum investment amount of 20 million yuan and a maximum operation period of 20 years.
In entertainment industry, the new list scraps the restriction on foreign investment in lottery and gambling areas. Foreign investors are also allowed to invest in Internet bars.
Restrictions on foreign participation in quality inspection service and geological survey are removed from the new list.
First introduced last year after the official launch of the pilot free trade zone, the list specifies all the business areas in which restrictions will remain for foreign enterprises in the zone.
As part of China's opening up strategy, overseas participants are allowed to invest as freely as their domestic peers in business fields beyond the list.
A registration system has been introduced in the zone for foreign investment in areas that are not singled out in the list. It simplifies procedures and reduces processing time from 29 days to four working days in the zone.

Hostile Takeover is a fan-made mini game created by Jim Logan, it can be played on either Single or Multiplayer, this mini game involves the player first killing someone to get a bounty, then to get to an appropriate hiding spot and shoot down every person in town, either police, bandits or normal people. It is recommended to do this in Armadillo/Theive's Landing/ MacFarlane's Ranch, as each town have great cover places. It is NOT recommended to do this in Blackwater as this town has few decent hiding places and there are many police.
- Have many powerful guns and as much ammo as possible
Tips and Tricks
- If one is playing as "the good guy" one should use the Banadna to prevent loss of Honor
- Use the Cowboy Outfit/Bollder Twins outfit rather then the Duster Coat/Legend of the West/ outfit as it could give away your position.
- If one has low ammo, the Police could easily overwhlem you.
- Keep a well supplied stock of items that can keep your Dead Eye Meter up and running as Dead Eye is crutial in this mini game.
- It is recommended to do this as John as Jack shouts more and can give away his position in a fight.

Moving into Our RV (The First Week)
We've been radio silent for the last week because we've been moving into our RV. Several people have asked us where we are and how it's going. It's definitely been an experience.
Moving in
We gave ourselves a definite date to move into the RV of July 27th. Enough waiting. We loaded our Big Gas Truck and Chris' Prius, picked up the RV from our good friends the Bakers, and headed to Bridgeport, Texas, where we had a reservation for four nights. This immediate departure made moving into the RV much harder. We have since learned how much better it would have been to move in little by little. Instead, we packed up what we thought we needed and wanted after our practice runs, dumped it all into the RV and took off. Boxes were everywhere.
Think Cinderella's step-sisters trying to stuff their fat feet into the dainty glass slipper–that was us trying to stuff all our necessary possessions into "Steve RV" (Chris has christened it that…say it fast and you'll get it.). I say necessary because once we packed ourselves into our 34 foot Rockwood Windjammer, that word gained much narrower criteria.
The Final Load
We returned to our house for the final clean out on Saturday. We took yet another load back to the RV, a load to Goodwill and a load to storage. We also filled our recycle and trash bins. But thankfully, we finished.
We worked for days sorting, storing or scrapping every piece of paper, every utensil, every tool and every piece of clothing. Looking at the initial mess, I questioned whether we would get it all in. We made multiple trips to The Container Store, Walmart and Lowe's and placed orders through Amazon in a desperate quest to find organizational items that would help us make sense of the clutter. We measured every square inch looking for extra space that could hold the littlest item—a baseball cap, a paper towel roll, spices, essential oils and board games. Everything needed its own space.
Anything that was deemed usable but didn't fit got thrown into a box destined for the bed of the truck. Soon we had multiple boxes destined for truck. That space, which already held boxes full of school books and paper goods, became prime real estate.
Setting Off
Ready or not, at the end of our four days in Bridgeport, we were off to an overnight stay in Lubbock. We were still moving in. We stepped over boxes just to get to the front door. We ate out most meals because boxes and loose items cluttering the kitchen made cooking impossible.
The following day, we loaded up for our final leg to Albuquerque where we met family members who bought Chris' Prius. Thankfully, there is nothing like a deadline to force completion! Knowing that visitors were coming for an overnight stay, we tackled our final boxes with gusto. Chris left for the airport while the kids and I put the final touches on Steve RV. We set the remaining boxes for the back of the Big Gas Truck outside and set about cleaning the unit. Twenty minutes later we finished, everything spic and span.
Later that day, we tackled the back of the Big Gas Truck. We reevaluated everything and repacked it. We loaded our final storage boxes into the back of Chris' Prius, which he sold to his mom, and we finished. Hallelujah!
So here we are, 10 days later, fully moved into the RV, and we even have extra space in the back of the Big Gas Truck. In two days, we head north. We're thankful to have everything settled and are looking forward to spending more time sightseeing and experiencing this great country!

The Gospel shapes your singularity. Your singularity does not shape the Gospel.
The Gospel creates a counter-culture, and this counter-culture will sometimes seem weird to the dominant culture.
The Gospel shapes your heart to care about the poor. Caring about the poor does not shape the Gospel.
The Gospel shapes what it means to be "King." Being "King" does not shape the Gospel.
Jesus Christ crucified is the true King. As we live in the kingdoms of this world, He leads His redeemed people to live under His rule, in His kingdom, to His glory.

There is no such thing as International Standard English. I have been affiliated with many EFL organizations over the years, and every organization (school) has always leaned towards either American English or British English. My present university in China has tried to pretend this problem doesn't exist, and I feel it has led to bad feelings all around. When a class has an American teacher at 8 am, an English ("London") teacher at 10 am, and a Scottish teacher at one-thirty, and everyone says there is no difference, this is doing a great disservice to the students.
A good EFL speaker will be comfortable in both American English and British English. A speaker who speaks a mish-mash of both sounds terrible.
A Chinese person who comes to America and only speaks British English comes across as being rather odd. And a Chinese person who comes to America and doesn't know the American equivalent for "go on holiday" sounds both odd and uneducated.

Stock vs Custom Cabinets
Below are the basic differences between stock/pre-manufactured and custom cabinets. Stock cabinets are mass produced in a factory. They are made in specific sizes and stored until ordered by the customer. Stock cabinets are usually more affordable than custom, however; there is no customization available. Customers have limited choices of styles, colors, and/or wood species. In addition to our own custom built cabinetry, Knoxville Custom Cabinets offer Carolina Heartwood™ pre-manufactured cabinets. These are available in 3 styles/colors. Our stock cabinet widths are available in 3" increments from 9" up to 48". Base cabinets are a depth of 24" and wall cabinets are 12" deep.
However, Custom cabinets come in all sizes and customers may choose any style, color, or wood species according to their liking. We suggest that anyone who is considering a kitchen remodel take advantage of the gallery as well as other media to find ideas for creating the kitchen of their dreams.
Please give us a call at 865-435-2576 one of our estimators will be happy to come to your home to take measurements and talk with you about the kitchen design you would like to have. The estimator will then send you a quote based on what he/she has discussed with you. At that point we will sign the contract and your drawings can be prepared. You will be given the opportunity to look over the drawings and ask any questions you may have, or make any desired changes. With your approval we will then begin the fabrication stage of your project. Fabrication times are typically 3-4 weeks but can be longer or shorter depending on workloads and the number of cabinets needed to complete your project. Customizing your kitchen is a process.
Knoxville Custom Cabinets strives to produce the right kitchen for every customer, and We are always here to help make the process go as smoothly as possible.

The canary is the semiconductor equipment sector. You will recall my associate who does business in the semiconductor equipment industry not a month ago informed me that the sector was "dead as a doornail". These are the companies like Applied Materials, Lam Research, Brooks automation, MSK Instruments, etc. that make the high cost capital equipment used in chip and IC manufacturing.
This morning's update from my contact who is a precision machining supplier to the semi equipment sector:
He notes "a definite increase in the Semi business. I think right now we are as busy as we [can] handle. For how long, I'm not sure but the signs are that it is going to continue."
Now, one update from the volatile semi equipment sector does not necessarily change much on the big picture. The US economy is on a secular economic contraction that is being fought by inflationary policy. But we must note that the semi's are very sensitive and while volatile (they could fall flat again within months) they put some weight to the economic growth story in the short term and by extension, the potential for inflationary
2012 2013 (i2k13) to finally arrive.
Given this information on an early mover sector, how do we proceed? Well first, we realize that the stock market is over bought, over loved and in need of a healthy correction. Will that come? Well, they always do sooner or later. Here is a view of the SOX, which includes semi companies of all kinds, not just the equipment stocks.
The daily chart of the SOX is not yet absurdly over bought, but can correct at any time. The first line of support is noted. The pattern targets 430 to 440. It would be healthiest for this to be done after a test of the breakout or the SOX would be severely over bought at target.
I have taken the liberty of painting the weekly MACD green even though the red line is still a hair negative. If there is a great economic revival going on to be led by the semi's, the chart does not yet know it. A breakout however, comes just above at 425.
More than an investment objective, the semi's are for our purposes an indicator. Right now, the indication is that inflationary policy has managed to start coming into the economy, potentially as it did in 2009. Note that the weekly SOX above bottomed in Q4 of 2008 (just like the precious metals and certain global markets) while the broad US market bottomed in March, 2009 as they finally got the financial sector under control.
The precious metals rose strongly with the likes of the SOX and a host of other things positively correlated to the (inflated) economy. But today things are different as we know. There is the potential for continued delay in a precious metals recovery. At the very least, the precious metals will not be the only game in town as long as inflationary economic stimulus is having the desired effect of raising most asset prices.
Is this part of what is being priced into the gold stocks? I have to ask the question because we must never go on auto-think, blaming nefarious forces of events. That is not the way to invest. In NFTRH 223 we looked at some rational possibilities having to do with momentum players and sentiment in a risk 'ON' environment. What if just maybe there is a component of 'gold stocks do not favor an inflationary expansion phase' in there as well? Because as I have tried to point out repeatedly, gold mining fundamentals will degrade during such times.
Now, this backward sector usually goes against its own fundamentals. If the miners do bottom and if an inflation-fueled economic expansion persists, then the gold stocks are a 'sell' into such a rise at a point to be determined mostly by TA and sentiment at the appropriate time.
I often point out that NFTRH should not be considered a precious metals letter because I am only positive of the PM's in the big picture because I am negative on the economy's long-term fundamentals. This does not change just because the semi's are popping and an inflationary phase may finally be coming on line in the form of our
i2k12 i2k13 buzz word.
But if the money supply continues to rise and the likes of the semi's continue to flash expansion (however brief), the focus must more aggressively spread out within the sphere of commodities and stocks, both global and domestic.
Meanwhile, #223's premise has not changed. The market needs a breather and we are managing a continued potential bottom in the gold sector. Just use this update as additional food for thought. There will be more to come.

Dinozzo was a wild fox cub living an ordinary life until the day his mother was killed after being hit by a car. When wild baby animals loose their parents their chance for survival is nearly nonexistent. Lucky for Dinozzo, he was found sitting beside his mother's dead body and handed over to a vet. At only 3-weeks-old he was given another chance at growing up under the care of a loving mother.
After being checked over by a vet, animal-loving couple Werner and Angelika Schmaing from Oberscheld, Germany stepped up and adopted Dinozzo. Ziva, the couple's collie dog with great motherly instincts, couldn't be happier about having an adorable fox around the house. Ziva has since taken the baby fox in as if he was her very own.
The family also owns two adopted piglets and a Bengal cat that goes by the name Leopold. It's not just Ziva the dog that loves the baby fox; Leopold has also developed a special friendship with the sweet little fox. Together the dotting dog and cat have made Dinozzo feel very welcome in his new home, helping provide him with the love he so very much deserves.
A cat, dog and fox make one unlikely trio but it doesn't get much cuter than this!
Dinozzo has even learned a thing or two from his new pals, including how to use the cat-door to come and go as he pleases. Werner said, "We've decided to let him live like any other fox outside the house." Despite Dinozzo's access to freely roam the surrounding area he prefers to spend time with his new best friends.
Dinozzo now thinks he's "one of the dogs"
Dinozzo doesn't only love dogs, he has also made good friends with Leopold the family's Bengal cat.
"The fox has gotten used to getting in and out of the house through the cat's door."
"Ziva and Leopold fell in love with the little fox immediately."
Werner works as a housekeeper at a local school, but he spends a good deal of his time rescuing orphaned animals as well. It appears his collie takes after his kind-hearted nature, "Our collie acts as a foster mum for the little ones."
Werner said, "The interactions of animals is very much like siblings in a family. They are mostly peaceful, often playful and sometimes tired–sleeping together in one place."

Who we are
We are the developers of Plastic SCM, a full version control stack (not a Git variant). We work on the strongest branching and merging you can find, and a core that doesn't cringe with huge binaries and repos. We also develop the GUIs, mergetools and everything needed to give you the full version control stack.
If you want to give it a try, download it from here.
We also code SemanticMerge, and the gmaster Git client.
Merge code moved across files
Here is something pretty amazing. Plastic can merge methods that were moved across files.
I'm going to move a C# method to a different file in a branch.
In a different branch, I'm going to modify the original method.
Plastic merges this without human interaction and applies the change correctly in the new file.
Merge scenario
This is an example scenario. I made a change on branch QUAK-104 and meanwhile another change in its parent branch:
Change in QUAK-104: move a method to a different file
This is the change in QUAK-104:
Yes, Plastic shows methods moved across files like this, with a nice visual representation.
Second change: modify the method again
Meanwhile, the change in the main branch (the parent of QUAK-104) is as follows:
Just a small modification to the method in its original location.
Trigger the mergebot
In case you haven't heard about them, mergebots run on the Plastic server, monitoring branches and triggering merges, sending the branches to Jenkins (or any other CI) to be tested, and notifying everything on your Slack, by email, etc. They can check task statuses on Jira too.
How do I trigger the mergebot now? Easy. Just set a given status attribute to the branch:
Automatic merge where any other version control would fail
Here comes the magic. One second later you see this:
Branch merged. Period. No questions asked. No human intervention.
Ta-da! Once again.
Diff the resulting changeset
Here is a diff of the resulting changeset. The change was cleanly applied to the method in its new location.
See how nicely the diffs display, highlighting the line that actually changed during the merge.
Want to test it today?
To enable a mergebot in your Plastic repo (on-premises only), configure this setting in your
How amazing is this?
This is multi-file semantic merge in action. No other version control system comes even close to this. The whole purpose of mergebots is to offer plugin software to your repos to automate the tasks that would otherwise be manual. Turning these types of merges that would certainly require human intervention otherwise into something they solve, is pretty amazing.
We use the same technology that powers our other product, semanticmerge.com. Right now, semantic deals with C#, Java, C and C++, and we recently added PHP support.
Our ultimate goal is to have a plugin for Language Server Protocol (LSP) or even LSIF (https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2019/02/19/lsif) to support all possible languages.

Electrification of the Trucking Industry
The creator of Tesla Elon Musk tells us that the traditional 18 – wheeler is one of his next targets.
"I'm guessing it will weigh 32,000 pounds, haul enough cargo to build part of a house, and glide silently down the road. The only sound you'll hear is the horn blasting."
We have seen Elon's "Master Plan" grow from a roadster to the model S, Model X to now the release of the Model 3 is coming up this summer. He is not stopping there, Tesla will be releasing a number of more vehicles including a Semi Truck.
There are over 130 million trucks currently on the road today, and they are a huge contributor to the massive overload of vehicles on the highways. This leads to large amounts of congestion in the major cities and CO2 gas pumping out on stand still roadways.
First this would be a significant step away from fossil fuels and more efficient use of power. The electric semi truck is only using power when it is moving. Paired with the every expanding supercharger network with an wider network of recharging stations specifically meant for trucks the semi would be able to make trips anywhere in the united states.
The Tesla Semi would also be able to use the same autonomous driving sensors that they are designing for all their vehicles. This includes collision avoidance and adaptive cruise control increasing its safety and convenience.
The largest selling point for these trucks in the savings on transportation costs. This is accomplished with how the power is distributed. So if Tesla can set up an infrastructure of solar powered charging stations and convince the trucking industry to make higher upfront capital investments we might see consumers demanding these sustainable energy Semi's
Next thing we need to see is a working Semi that obtains the amount of torque required for transporting loads to their destinations. So far we have not seen an electric car with enough power to pull a heavy load at highway speeds. Combustion trucks use gears and belts to generate the amount of torque required to get these heavy loads to speeds up to 75 Mph which electric engines do not have. If Musk succeeds with might be seeing a dramatic change to safer non CO2 providing trucks filling the interstates soon.
