'Taho'-throwing Sino woman held for assaulting cop
A Chinese woman was arrested on Saturday and faced charges of direct assault after she threw a plastic cup of "taho" (sweetened soya curd) at a policeman who was trying to explain that she could not bring it inside the Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT 3) station in Boni, Mandaluyong City.
Photos of her and the policeman she had splashed with taho immediately went viral, drawing vicious comments from netizens.
Zhang Jiale, 23, was brought to the Mandaluyong Police Community Precinct 5 and detained for disrespecting PO1 William Cristobal, 39, who had tried to help stop her at the turnstiles from bringing in a prohibited item.
Police said Zhang, who lives in a condominium on Pioneer Street, Mandaluyong City, was booked for disobedience to a person in authority and unjust vexation, even after apologizing to Cristobal.
MRT food, liquids ban
Zhang resented being told to dispose of the taho because new security measures at MRT prohibited the transport of food and liquids of all kinds, police said.
When Cristobal advised Zhang that she could take another mode of transport if she would not heed regulations, she splashed the taho on the policeman's uniform.
Rail station guards immediately apprehended Zhang, a fashion design student at SoFA Design Institute who has lived in the country for seven years, and initially brought her to the police detachment at MRT's Shaw Boulevard Station.
Senior Supt. Moises Villaceran, Mandaluyong City Police chief, said the incident happened around 8:30 a.m. when a female MRT guard saw the taho Zhang kept in a paper bag.
Told that the taho was a prohibited item that she could not bring inside the station, Zhang "argued rudely" with the guard, who then sought Cristobal's help, Villaceran said.
DOTr, BI actions
Assistant Secretary for Communications Goddes Hope Libiran said in a statement that the Department of Transportation (DOTr) was looking at the possibility of banning the Chinese woman from riding the MRT 3 line.
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) on Saturday said it would be coordinating with the DOTr and the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) to determine "possible actions" against the erring Chinese.
NCRPO Director Guillermo Eleazar said Zhang should be held responsible for disrespecting a police officer. "I asked her how she was able to treat our policeman like that. Even arrested big-time drug pushers [do not act] like that," he said.
Villaceran said Zhang also apologized to the guard, but Cristobal was bent on filing charges.
Cop feels 'humiliated'
Zhang, he said, could post bail after her inquest proceeding, possibly on Monday.
Cristobal said he felt the woman's sincerity when she apologized to him but "she should face the consequences of her actions."
"I really felt humiliated. If we let this pass, civilians will think that disrespecting policemen is OK," he said.
In a statement, the MRT 3 management reiterated its policy on banned food and liquid items. "We are being cautious since [our] topmost priority is the safety and security of our passengers and personnel following the [bombing] attacks in Mindanao," it said. —With a report from Faye Orellana

Celebrating Sankranti through classic melodies
On the occasion of Makar Sankranti, a musical bonanza 'Sankrant Rajni' was organized by city psychiatrist Dr Avinash Joshi, founder of Museum of Brain and Mind. Tanuja Nafde, a semi-classical Hindustani music singer and faculty at RS Mundle College, headlined the event held at Scientific Society Hall, Laxmi Nagar, on Saturday evening. She began with raag Yaman in vilambit dhun. She followed it with a tarana and thumri, 'Saware aijaiyo.' Rambhau Khandwe, chief of Janardan Swami Yogabhyasi Mandal and noted playwright Dr Ranjan Darvekar were the chief guests at the event. Janardan Swami Yogabhyasi Mandal has been rendering free yoga to all for the past sixty years while Darvekar helms Ranjan Kala Mandir and has performed and directed many plays.
Nafde is known for her album Rang Do (2011) for which she had collaborated with Hariharan. She has represented 'India at Peace' concert in Moscow and done several concerts in India. She was accompanied by Prabhakar Dhakde on violin, Sandeep Gurnule on harmonium and Sandesh Popatkar on tabla. "Dhakde is a known name when it comes to violin. Sandesh Popatkar is a famous when it comes to tabla. Nafde is my music teacher and I wanted to help spread knowledge about her talent. She deserves solo shows and opportunities," said Joshi, who also conceptualized the show. Well-known sitarist and haematologist Dr Shriram Kane helmed the other half of the show, playing soothing melody in raag 'Vachaspati.' Kane has been playing sitar since the age of five. He has performed at several concerts in India and is an 'A' grade artiste at All India Radio. "He is a childhood friend and is immensely talented," adds Joshi, who himself is an amateur singer and pursuing MA in music.
Museum of Brain and Mind is an initiative by Joshi to contribute to psychiatry by providing people information about workings of brain free of charge by showing its facets like its anatomy, physiology, psychology, psychiatry, neurology, neurosurgery, parapsychology, philosophy, sexuality and spirituality. In this museum, an attempt has been made to show all its facets through displays, written in simple Hindi, using ample self-illustrated and bright images.

Ferrari's flagship grand tourer will also be available with V8 power after the Pransing Horse brand took the digital wraps off of the GTC4 Lusso T. Scheduled to make its official debut at this year's Paris Motor Show, Ferrari claimed that the upcoming V8-powered four-seater still blends elegance, comfort and power.
In place of the standard V12 is a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 that was derived from the 488 GTB. It generates 610 PS at 7500 rpm and 760 Nm of torque available between 3000 – 5250 rpm. The engine is then mated to a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. Compared to the V12 model which gets all-wheel-drive, the V8 turbo version is only available in rear-wheel-drive.
Ferrari added that with less cylinders and no all-wheel-drive, the GTC4 Lusso T is lighter and has an increased rear weight bias (46:54). 0 – 100 km/h comes in at quick 3.5 seconds while top speed is rated at more than 320 km/h.
Beyond that, Ferrari also said that their latest model also has Side Slip Control with rear wheel steering, Variable Boost Management which eliminates turbo lag and allows for smoother power delivery.
Much like the V12-powered GTC4 Lusso, the Lusso T gets the same shooting brake design from its bigger-engined sibling. It gets the long hood that seamlessly flows towards the rear quarters, along with the large five-spoke 20-inch alloy wheels and signature taillights.
Also present is the unique Dual Cockpit architecture which allows both the driver and passenger to have a shared driving experience. Equipment present inside the GTC4 LussoT include: 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay, satellite navigation with 3D maps and four racing bucket seats wrapped in leather.

EggBanxx: New York, hosted by Fertility Authority, is the newest event focused on providing prospective patients personal access to information on egg freezing. Scheduled to be held on August 12th from 6:30-8:30pm at The NoMad Hotel, located at 1170 Broadway, this event promises to help many women make the first step toward pushing pause on their fertility. Those that attend will have an opportunity to talk with top local fertility doctors, receive information on the egg freezing process, and enjoy cocktails and tasty apps.

"Let us help get your questions answered and introduce you to local specialists in the field who can help preserve your fertility. With physician experts at hand, EggBanxx: New York will answer all your questions in a relaxed, comfortable setting."
EggBanxx.com is the latest platform to join the Fertility Authority family, a leading group of nationally recognized websites focused on empowering couples to make educated decisions about their fertility. With over 1 million visitors a month, FertilityAuthority.com, FertileThoughts.com, EggFreezingCosts.com, GenderSelectionAuthority.com, IVFAdvantage.com, and now EggBanxx.com, all provide access to information for finding and managing fertility issues. By enabling prospective patients to connect with Fertility Authority's network of Care Advocates, treatment can be easily planned and implemented for the most successful outcome.

"One in three couples ages 35 years or older struggles with infertility. I started trying to conceive when I was 35 years old and ended up needing fertility treatment. That's why I'm so excited to see such an overwhelming interest from women in their early to mid-thirties freezing their eggs. It's an empowering option I wish I had that literally presses the snooze button on your biological clock," said Palumbo.

Spoilers ahead for Dark Phoenix.
Dark Phoenix is a movie that doesn't really work on any level. Even by its own metric where in the opening voice over, Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) asks who we're meant to be and if we can evolve, the film doesn't really have an answer. Because we never really get to know who Jean Grey is beyond someone who had a traumatic past, the best the film can offer is a limp, "Embrace your emotions, love your family, and sacrifice for the greater good." Jean's "evolution" is that she has to face her past trauma, gets an apology from Xavier (James McAvoy), and then dies in order to stop the bad guy, Vuk (Jessica Chastain). That's an incredibly weak resolution to its own question of who Jean Grey is/was or what her evolution entailed.
But that's not the last scene of the movie. The last scene is this bizarre button that belongs from a different movie with different leads. The final scene has Xavier, now retired from being the head of Xavier's School for Gifted Children (renamed the Jean Grey School for Gifted Children) and quietly enjoying retirement at a Parisian café. There he's greeted by Magneto (Michael Fassbender), who offers Xavier a home in his little commune and also a game of chess. After declining the game, Charles reluctantly accepts, and they start to play again. Overhead, we see the Phoenix/Jean re-enter the atmosphere for a movie that will never happen.
Setting aside the Phoenix, this scene is completely unearned. It's clear that for writer-director Simon Kinberg, this is the ending the franchise needs because the central conflict has always been between Xavier and Magneto, and the belabored chess symbolism shows how they approach the question of mutants and humans from different perspectives. However, their friendship is not really a part of Dark Phoenix. They have one scene where they confront each other, Magneto dismisses Xavier as soft, and then there's a set piece. That's it. That's the extent of the Magneto/Xavier divide in Dark Phoenix.
So where does this scene come from? Why does Magneto (who, it should be mentioned, is a mass murderer who just gets to walk free because of reasons) feel the need to reconcile with Xavier? What does their friendship mean in terms of its reconciliation? Does Magneto now accept living in peace with humans? Does Xavier now believe that isolationism is the only way forward? What does this scene mean?
This kind of scene breaks the reality of the movie because it's done solely as an acknowledgement to the franchise rather than anything motivated by plot or character. And if that kind of acknowledgement is all you care about, then just have a lavish end-credits scene with clips from the previous movies. But if you're going to make it part of your story, and the scene on which you end your film, then it can't just come out of nowhere. If Dark Phoenix was entirely about the battle between Xavier and Magneto and how they've finally found a détente, then this scene makes sense. But without that conflict, it just becomes a lazy nod to earlier, better movies.
Note: This feature was originally published at a prior date, but has been bumped in the wake of Dark Phoenix's Digital HD release on September 3rd.

Note: This story contains updated facts found in follow up, Publisher retracts Costco dinosaur cake story; writer accused of making up facts
They know not what they are doing.
The uber-sensitive left have ushered in an era where it only takes one person to be offended for corporate America to react — fearful of dealing with a public relations nightmare, no doubt.
The latest example of this allegedly comes from Costco, which has been accused of eliminating a birthday cake featuring a dinosaur from its bakery designs after receiving a complaint from an Arizona mom who said the cake promoted satanism, Inquisitr reported.
Individual Costco stores deny the claim, but mom Jessica Eckerdt propelled the story into the national news spotlight.
What made Eckerdt, so uncomfortable?
She felt the dinosaur's feet resembled the number "666," which folklore says is the mark of the beast, or the Antichrist.
"I was extremely shocked and upset to see a demonic symbol written clear as day on my six-year-old son's birthday cake," wrote Eckerdt, according to Inquisitr.
"What was supposed to be a whimsical dinosaur became something very distasteful," she added. "I was extremely surprised at Costco for allowing such an inappropriate joke be sold to an unsuspecting victim."
And with that, the retail giant allegedly removed the cake from their online ordering system, according to Inquisitr, who offered the following photo as proof:
An Inquisitr reporter said that they attempted to reach Costco representatives to find out why the sheet cakes were removed from their online ordering system, but no one from the company was available for comment.
But according to a former Costco employee, the controversy is much ado about nothing.
"I work for Costco and was a cake decorator there for five years," Allison Logsdon wrote in a statement on Facebook. "The dinosaur should have a fourth leg and the feet do not curve into a six. This is just a poor example of their design and is in no way a reflection of the company."
BPR checked with local Costco bakery workers who said they knew nothing about the design being pulled and they are still making the cake for customers.

Potato Rosti
Inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi's recipe in his brilliant book 'Jerusalem.'
Since sharing a photo of my rosti on instagram and facebook, I've had many requests for the recipe. And I'm glad I've finally found an excuse. I love the idea of serving these with runny poached eggs as a special Easter breakfast, especially since they look like little 'nests'.
But I have to tell you they did go down well on St Patricks Day a few weeks ago with avocado, bacon and lashings of hot milky Barry's tea. So remember a rosti is not just for Easter!
Makes: 8 rosti
Takes: 30 minutes
500g (1lb) potatoes
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons flour (any kind)
small handful chopped chives, optional
oil for shallow frying
1. Scrub your spuds then grate – I use my food processor. Rinse grated potato in cold water. Drain then transfer to a clean tea towel and squeeze the spuds as dry as possible.
2. Heat about 1cm (1/1in) oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat.
3. Combine dry spuds, egg whites, flour and chives, if using, in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Then form the mixture into about 8 flat patties, placing each on a clean plate as you go.
4. Gently slide half of the rosti into the hot oil. Shallow fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until deeply golden brown.
5. Drain on paper towel and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the second batch of rosti.
6. Serve hot with a generous dusting of sea salt flakes.
potato & parsnip – Ottolenghi uses a mixture of spuds and parsnips in his rosti.
vegan – try replacing with 1 tablespoon ground golden flax seeds (linseeds) combined with 3 tablespoons water. I haven't tried this so let me know how you get on if you do.
gluten-free – just use your favourite GF flour. I've used quinoa flour in the video but any GF flour will work.
other root veg – it's hard to go past the humble spud but I'd consider trying swede (rutabaga) or sweet potato.
mini rosti – make smaller rosti to serve as canapes. Brilliant with a dollop of cold sour cream.
Waste Avoidance Strategy
potatoes / flour / oil – store in the pantry.
eggs – will keep in the fridge for a month or so. Or use for another meal.
chopped chives – best to use for another meal.
Prepare Ahead
Best when freshly made. Although you can keep them warm in a low oven (100C / 50F) for 30 minutes if you need time to get the rest of your meal ready.

November, 2017, Guild Meeting- Hawaiian Quilter Nancy Lee Chong
Well known Hawaiian Quilter and hand applique artist and teacher, Nancy Lee Chong, spoke and shared an extensive trunk show of her exquisite work at our November guild meeting.
Nancy loves teaching applique! Her mission to make sure quilters and needleworkers of all kinds learn just how easy and fun applique really is when it is not complicated by all kinds of extraneous tools and steps. Nancy learned to make Hawaiian Quilts from Margaret Luika Kamaka in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii, between 1978 and 1981. Calling on her degree in Education, she began teaching Hawaiian quiltmaking in 1982, when she moved to the Seattle, Washington area with her husband and daughter. In 1988, she made her first pieced quilt, and has been making both traditional and art quilts since. Hawaiian quilting and applique quilts continue to be her specialty. Her pieced and appliqued quilts have appeared in magazines, quilt books, and have traveled throughout the United States and to other countries.
You can see more about Nancy on her webpage, http://quiltchong.com/
Nancy taught workshops on Saturday and Sunday, November 18 and 19th.

The poem below written by John G. Gartland, appeared in the Railroad Man's Magazine in the early 1920s and provides us with a glimpse of the life of a flagman.
Sunning himself like a sheep-dog,
Stretching his old wooden leg,
Keeping his watch o'er the crossing
That cost him his own good leg,
Warning the passers of danger,
Safeguarding soft, human clay,
There on his bench by the shanty
Sits the old flagman all day.
Warden of legend and story,
Woven by toil and by time
Round his old true-love, the railroad,
Blended with blood and with grime,
Compassed by awe-stricken youngsters
Drinking in each episode,
There he sits puffing his corncob,
Telling them tales of the road.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter,
Gnarled, crippled, sunny of mind,
Spry as a cricket when danger
Rides on the wings of the wind,
Year in and out he is sitting,
Gazing on rail and no tie,
There on his bench by the shanty,
Watching the wide world go by.

Plantain moth
Plantain moth (PM) caterpillars have emerged as a significant pest of plantain primarily in the North Island.
With increasing use of plantain in crops and pasture mixes PM populations are on occasion causing severe damage to plants, particularly in pure plantain crops.
PM consists of least 2 moth native moth species, known previously as 'carpet moths'. Both are relatively small. E. rosearia are slightly larger than S. rubraria which have a wing length of 9-10 mm. PM are light brown with dark spots and a distinct dark brown band towards the end on the wings. This band is more obvious on E. rosearia while S. rubriaria has a more spotted pattern. S. rubraria caterpillars are brown but vary in tone and pattern. E. rosearia caterpillars are green or brown; both grow to <20 mm long.
Plantain moth feeding on plantain.*
Damage is more likely when a mild winter is followed by dry summer conditions. A short generation time (7 weeks) allows for exponential population growth. PM are most abundant in late summer and largely disappear from crops in autumn.
Plantain moth caterpillars are small,
growing up to 20mm.*
The caterpillars feed on the leaves creating holes or leaf marginal notches which can combine and in severe cases leave only leaf veins. Severe damage (90% destroyed) has been reported. Damage can be highly localised.
Prevention & management
Crop health, plant stress and growing conditions significantly influence damage severity; a healthy crop is more tolerant of PM than one which isn't actively growing.
Plantain moth damage can be
devastating to plants.*
Currently no insecticides are registered for control of PM caterpillars. Broad spectrum insecticide, active against caterpillars, applied early in the season is possibly the best current control method.

A Very Loose Cattle New Orleans Christmas
Michael Cerveris and Kimberly Kaye bring the full band, complete with a horn section and some very special local heroes to celebrate the release of Loose Cattle's new holiday record, Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Very special guests include Tom McDermott, Rod Hodges of the Iguanas, Rurik Nunan of The Whisky Gentry, Craig Klein of Bonerama, Andre and Louis Michot of Lost Bayou Ramblers and more!
about the record:
Not Looking forward to the holidays? Then Loose Cattle's Seasonal Affective Disorder is the Christmas album for you. Released on December 1st, the record shines a light on the darker side of the holiday season, mixing humor, honesty and tongue-in-cheek twang into 15 Americana songs.
Although recorded in Brooklyn (where bandmates Kimberly Kaye and Michael Cerveris formed Loose Cattle in 2011) and New Orleans, Seasonal Affective Disordertakes most of its influence from the American South. There's plenty of country harmony, honky-tonk fiddle and pedal steel guitar to be found here, all spread throughout a tracklist that includes originals and covers. The band turns John Denver's "Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)" into a rootsy,roadhouse-worthy holiday tune, then scales things back for "Shepherds in a Parking Lot," a self-penned song about banding together to survive the holiday chaos.
"I grew up loving Christmas," admits Cerveris, a West Virginia native and two time Tony Award-winning actor (currently starring in Amazon'sThe Tickand Fox'sGotham)who served as a sideman for Husker Du frontman Bob Mould before launching his own music career. "And I still love it, but I recognize that a lot of my holidays are kinda more like Charlie Browns Christmas than the Waltons."Kaye elaborates,You're told you're supposed to be having this fantastic time, but if you aren't, that makes you feel even worse. People struggle alone, but as a band, we've learned that connecting with other people who feel the same way makes getting through those hard times a whole lot easier.
For Loose Cattle,Seasonal Affective Disorder is built upon a holiday tradition that dates back to 2011, the same year Kaye and Cerveris launched the band in New York City. Looking to give their families an unexpected Christmas present, the bandmates booked some time in a recording studio on December 23rd, emerging that evening with their own version of Big Star's "Jesus Christ." The next year, they picked a new song and repeated the process.The pattern continued. Every Christmas season, Loose Cattle's members would find themselves in a studio with friends, feasting on pizza and beer while recording more left-of- center holiday music.
Seasonal Affective Disorderrounds up several songs from those yearly sessions, packaging them with a handful of new recordings. Included in the mix is a second original, "Don't Make your Mama Cry on Christmas Day," whose accordion riffs and French lyrics as well as an appearance by the Grammy-nominated Lost Bayou Ramblers nod to the Cajun influence of Louisiana. Tom McDermott, another icon from the Big Easy, plays piano on several songs,while guests like Jon Graboff (Ryan Adams & the Cardinals, Shooter Jennings) and Carmella Ramsey (Patty Loveless, Reba McEntire) make their own appearances. The result is an album of country Christmas duets, offbeat carols,Yuletide drinking songs and bah-humbug ballads, all performed not only by Loose Cattle's members, but also their circle of musician friends in New Orleans, New York and beyond.
"It's a musical version of getting your friends and family members together for the holidays,"explains Kaye, who shares lead vocals with Cerveris. Like her duet partner, Kaye cut her teeth on the road, traveling the Warped Tour circuit as a member of a ska band before shifting her attention to roots music. Seasonal Affective Disorder nods to their punky pasts while also showcasing Loose Cattle's poignant punch as an alt-country band. It may be a Christmas album, but it's the sort of Christmas album you can play all year.
"We've always loved songs that are a little twisted and a little bent, because we're a little twisted, too, "Kaye adds. Cerveris explains, "We both have our punk-rock roots, and then our country music history. This record captures all of that."
Mixed by David Barbe (Drive-By Truckers) and mastered by Greg Calbi (Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie), Seasonal Affective Disorderarrives December 1st via Low Heat Records.

With the second episode of Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Fate of Atlantis DLC saga due next month, the game's getting another big update on PlayStation 4. Patch 1.30 isn't going to steal many headlines, but it's still a pretty meaty download, weighing in at around 6.4GB on Sony's system. And yes, you can grab it right now.
Again, there are no big additions or changes that catch our eye this time around, but the patch notes are still lengthy. As hinted, the update includes support for the upcoming episode as well as the next free Lost Tales of Greece quest, which should be arriving in the near future. The patch also buffs the damage dealt by your trusty eagle Ikaros, and a handful of balance adjustments have been made to things like mercenary loot, the sometimes crazy fire damage, and more. If you want the full run down, be sure to check out the complete patch notes through here.
Are you still playing Odyssey? Do you still dive in now and then for the weekly or daily quests? Maybe for the free content? Keep us up to date in the comments section below.

Sunday 28th October 2018
On a weekend of limited fixtures, both of Royal Wootton Bassett Town's Under 15 teams put in standout performances that maintained their excellent starts.
In Division One, the Blues retained their 100% record with a convincing 6-1 triumph against Lydiard Youth Blue. For the second game in a row, Kevin Prouse fired a hat-trick, while Finlay Whittaker-Orton scored his first two goals of the season. Marcel Lewis rounded off the scoring with his fourth of the campaign.
After a difficult campaign in 2017-18, the Yellows have been in exceptional form so far this season. And they went three points clear at the top of Division Three with an 8-3 thrashing of Tetbury Town.
Samuel Osei Bonsu's three goals mean he has now scored a hat-trick in three consecutive league games. Also finding the net were Sebastian Turner (2), Jacob Davidson, Samuel Davidson and Tristan McKay.
Elsewhere, goals from Evan Bexon-Shaw and James Dorset secured a useful point for the Under 13 Blues away against Ferndale Rodbourne Red.
Meanwhile, the Under 12 Yellows fell to a 9-1 loss away against Greenmeadow Youth. Beau Hicks scored Bassett's consolation.Last modified on Sunday 28th October 2018 at 21:28.

From: http://www.worlddownsyndromeday.org/
World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. Each year the voice of people with Down syndrome, and those who live and work with them, grows louder. But there is still so much more we can do.
Down Syndrome International (DSi) encourages our friends all over the world to choose your own activities and events to help raise awareness of what Down syndrome is, what it means to have Down syndrome, and how people with Down syndrome play a vital role in our lives and communities.
For this purpose we created a dedicated website www.worlddownsyndromeday.org. Through this, you are able to register with us and share details of your activities and events with the global community. Plus you can also participate in DSi's various annual WDSD initiatives.
Join our cause to create a single global voice for advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome on 21 March.
From: http://www.worlddownsyndromeday.org/wdsd-2014
For WDSD 2014, DSi is focusing on:
"Health and Wellbeing – Access and Equality for All"
All people with Down syndrome have the right to access healthcare when required on an equal basis with others without discrimination and with proper assessment of the specific health needs of the individual. We will be highlighting that:
- Having Down syndrome does not make a person unhealthy.
- Down syndrome is a genetic condition, not an illness.
- People with Down syndrome may have health issues throughout their lives, just like everyone else and they should have access to healthcare on an equal basis with others.
- There are specific known health issues which may affect people with Down syndrome, for which accurate, evidence based information is available.
- Health professionals should be aware of these specific issues when treating a person with Down syndrome.
- Health professionals should not discriminate against people with Down syndrome by:
- refusing to treat them;
- blaming health issues on Down syndrome in general, or;
- considering only specific known health issues which may affect people with Down syndrome.
Our WDSD Global Video Event and WDSD Conference will both explore this important area of focus.
If you would like to join this campaign, then we very much welcome its adoption into your plans for WDSD 2014.
Once again in 2014, we are inviting everyone across the world to wear LOTS OF SOCKS on 21 March to get people talking about WDSD.
You can also participate in our WDSD activities by nominating someone for the WDSD Awards, you can join us on our various WDSD Social Media channels, and you can promote our WDSD Patrons Messages.
Whatever you plan to do, lets create a single global voice for advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome on 21 March.

The Duchess of Sussex has described meeting one of the founding members of South Africa's anti-apartheid movement as an "incredibly powerful moment".
Sophia Williams-De Bruyn was 18 when she led about 20,000 women on a march against racial segregation in 1956.
Meghan met the activist, now 81, and other campaigners for gender equality, during an event in Cape Town to honour South Africa's female leaders.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are on a 10-day tour of southern Africa.
Ms Williams-De Bruyn is one of the last remaining survivors of the march – which was one of the most influential demonstrations against the apartheid regime.
Thousands of women assembled in the capital Pretoria – despite a ban on unauthorised gatherings – in protest of a law which forced black people to carry passbooks with them at all times.
Many were arrested, before the group finally amassed outside the official seat of government, the Union Buildings, to demand change.
The demonstration was recreated in 2006 in protest at South Africa's high rate of domestic violence.
The Duchess of Sussex's visit, on Thursday, comes as a recent spike in violence against women has again ignited protests in many areas of the country. Approximately 2,700 women and 1,000 children murdered by men in the country last year. At least 100 rapes were also reported daily.
In an post on the Sussexes' official Instagram account, the duchess said Ms Williams-De Bruyn was "a symbol of those who fight for fundamental human rights", adding "for her it is simple – she fights for what is right".
During the event, Meghan also spoke with the anti-apartheid activist, doctor and former managing director of the World Bank, Mamphela Ramphele.
Also present were politicians Nompendulo Mkhatshwa, of the African National Congress – one of the youngest women ever to serve in the country's parliament – and Lindiwe Mazibuko, the first non-white leader of the Democratic Alliance party.
At the meeting, Meghan said that hearing about their exploits on the news had not been the same as "being able to truly understand what it's like on the ground".
"Much of my life I have been advocating for women and girls' rights, so this has been an incredibly powerful moment to hear first-hand from all of you," she said.
"The leadership and strength shown by these women is remarkable, and at a time when the issue of gender and gender-based violence is at the forefront of people's minds, I hope their voices will resonate and not only give comfort but also create change."
Meghan added that gender violence was a "global problem" and a solution can only be found "with the attention and work of everyone".
The duke and duchess are on their first official overseas trip with their four month-old son, Archie.
The royals are celebrating southern Africa's people and culture during their 10-day visit.
The duke and duchess spent the first three days together, meeting Archbishop Desmond Tutu, visiting South Africa's oldest mosque and meeting young people in a deprived township in Cape Town.
Harry then travelled on to Angola, where he followed in the footsteps of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, to highlight continuing efforts to remove landmines.
The duke is visiting Malawi on Sunday, where he is scheduled to meet the country's President Peter Mutharika and pay tribute to a British soldier who was killed by an elephant during a counter-poaching operation earlier this year.

I'm a sucker for Valentine's Day! A holiday that celebrates love with anyone and everyone. Not to mention, the world is painted with all shades of pinks and red, count me in! Valentine's Day used to be this weird day that made you feel a little lonely if you were single. Before I met Taylor, I never really celebrated with that special someone, I actually celebrated with a few special people, my girlfriends! If you didn't know, February 13th is the unofficial–official Galentine's Day!
There are so many ways to celebrate Galentine's Day. You could host a potluck party and have everyone bring their favourite dishes, have a baking date to make all your favourite Valentine treats, host a movie night and watch all Rom Coms that make you want to laugh and cry, have a mini spa date at home with face masks, manicure and pedicures ALL while sipping on a delicious Galentine's Day inspired cocktail.
In celebration, I'm making a cocktail (slash dessert) all your girlfriends will LOVE! These Espresso Chocolate Martinis are made with creamy Green & Black's Sea Salt Milk Chocolate, Baileys, Patron Café and of course, espresso! I love the hint of sea salt, it helps to round out all the flavours in this cocktail.
Green & Black's chocolate is the world's leading premium organic AND Fair Trade chocolate! They offer so many different flavours from Sea Salt Milk Chocolate to Burnt Toffee Dark Chocolate and they even have an 85% Dark Chocolate! The chocolate is super creamy, it literally melts in your mouth.
What you'll need:
- Green & Black's Sea Salt Milk Chocolate Bar (x2)
- Whole milk
- Green & Black's 85% Dark Chocolate (x1)
- Irish Cream Liqueur
- Coffee Liqueur
- Espresso
- Valentine's sprinkles
You will have to prep the chocolate sauce beforehand but it's super easy to make and even great for dipping strawberries in. Heat up some whole milk on the stove until it's hot but not boiling. Take the saucepan off the stove, break up the milk chocolate bars and let sit for 5 minutes. Once the 5 minutes are up, give the mixture a good little whisk and it's done! You'll need 1 ounce of chocolate sauce per cocktail.
'To make this cocktail a fun and colourful, I rimmed the glasses with Valentines sprinkle's. Who doesn't love sprinkles? To rim the glasses, melt the Green & Black's Dark Chocolate and transfer to a plate to slightly cool. Pop your glasses in the freezer for about 5 minutes, this way the chocolate will set quicker and the sprinkles will stay put.
How to Make an Espresso Martini
Chocolate Sauce
- 2 bars Green & Blacks Sea Salt Milk Chocolate
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Espresso Martini
- 1 oz Irish Cream Liqueur
- 1 oz Coffee Liqeur
- 1 oz Milk Chocolate Sauce
- 1 shot espresso
Chocolate Sauce
In a small saucepan, heat the milk on medium-high until warm (not boiling). Take off the heat. Break up the chocolate bars into the milk and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until all the chocolate bits have mixed into the milk.
Let cool.
In a shaker filled with ice, add the Irish Cream, coffee liqueur, milk chocolate sauce and espresso. Put the lid on a shake for 5-10 seconds. Strain into a rimmed glass and enjoy!

What was India like in the beginning of British rule? Around 1800, the British East India Company (EICo) made an effort to study Indian society in detail. With help of local guides, their members traveled across the country to observe and record the society in its entirety. In the process, they documented climate, vegetation, agriculture and commerce including how taxes were calculated and levied. They also recorded social and religious aspects of the Indians and their history.
Two such members in the service of the EICo, Francis Buchanan and Benjamin Heyne, traveled across South India from Chennai to Mysore between 1800 and 1810. Their findings published in books, provides a fascinating picture of a complex and diverse South India. Of the two, Buchanan appears more objective and sympathetic to the local population. Heyne, on the other hand, appears more as a British commercial representative who feels the Indian customs are less cultured than the British. His goal seems to be towards observing and exploiting commercial resources and helping the company take over India (for which he was employed). While Buchanan recorded social behavior of each part of the population and their industry, Heyne observed behavior of the society as a whole. Heyne was also more interested in the local climate and vegetation. Both give detailed accounts of agricultural practices. Information such as the specific variety of crop/grain, the method of farming, yield and pricing are presented in great detail. Tools used for various purposes are also explained in very good detail with drawings in some cases.
The first striking feature of their writings is the diversity of the region. Every part was populated by several hundred tribes or castes (Buchanan, who made a point of noting down their social category, identified them as predominantly Sudra and Dalit), specializing in one or a few commercial activity or role. Every village was made of one or at most a few of these caste communities. The freedom – administrative, social and religious – enjoyed by these communities is very evident. Every community was administered from within by a (male) head, either hereditary or elected. In almost all communities, he was assisted by a group of elders. Only in rare cases did the (royal) government step in and even then, usually with the permission of the head and through a local administrator (usually a Brahmin or Muslim). The religious head of each caste was usually a Brahmin monk attached to matam (monastery). Local spiritual matters were taken care of by a village priest, usually also a Brahmin, but in many cases from another community. Each village had a headman, militia police (usually from a Sudra sub-caste according to Buchanan), an accountant, a land estimator and a priest. Groups of villages often worked together. Buchanan observed that community decisions were always taken in the open through discussions. Most land owners were Sudra, some Vaishya and a few Brahmins, who either farmed on their own land or rented it to a cultivator. Produce was divided among the cultivator, land owner, headman, accountant, priest and other Brahmins in the village, for community needs, charity and finally a part for the government as tax. Wealthy people usually financed or supported public works such as tanks, reservoirs, temples, mosques, schools, food shelters and inns. For these they were provided with some rights, usually land grants.
There were variations in diets between communities – most ate meat, some didn't, some could drink liquor and some couldn't. The strictest diets were found among the Brahmins. In most communities, women worked outside and within the house (often more industrious than men!). Polygamy was common in most communities, but polyandry was not permitted. Some allowed widow remarriage, most didn't. While the institution of Sati was known, it was not at all followed. It was customary for the husband to give family of the wife a sum of money at marriage (sort of "purchasing" a bride!), since the wife's industry added to the household income. Punishments for disobeying rules of the community were handled by the community head with the help of older members. Most punishments were light and resulted in a hearing, fine or a visit to the community's main temple for more severe offenses. The most severe was casting the offender out of the community, but that was extremely rare. Occupations varied between the castes – there were some specialized in agriculture, others in construction, trade, weaving, dyeing, manufacture of goods such as salt or sugar, breeding cattle or metal work. There were even castes dedicated to medicine and surgery, maintaining kitchen gardens, washing clothes or transporting goods between regions. There seemed little conflict among the castes or within, for that matter, for political power. Each had its own rhythm and was able to live amicably with others.
The second feature that jumps out is the staggering amount of goods produced and consumed in the community. Agriculture was the central activity outside cities. Land was divided into wet and dry and the crops grown in each were different. Farmers produced several kinds of grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, spices, cotton and jute. The books mention many kinds of millets, rice, wheat and lentils, for both humans and cattle. There were sub-varieties in each, growing in a specific climate and soil and possessing its own unique characteristic. There were, for example, four different kinds of sugarcane, but each able to be grown in only a specific condition. Many of the agriculture produce were processed. Sugar making (both from sugarcane and palm), dairy, textiles (cotton, woolen and silk), iron and steel works were all principal industries. Some finer produce were reserved for the royal family and wealthy individuals, but most were available to all. There were taxes on every good. Cattle – oxen, buffaloes and donkeys – was used to plough and water fields, run oil presses, transport goods and their dung was used as a manure and fuel. Goats and sheep were reared for meat, milk, hide and wool. The support industry to agriculture was huge. There were castes dedicated to making and maintaining different kinds of agriculture equipment such as ploughs, drill presses, oil presses and others, to breeding cattle or even sowing and harvesting grains or fruits.
Another interesting phenomenon was the jostling for religious and spiritual supremacy among all castes. Within each caste, there seemed to be a gradation, with some sub-castes being in the lower end than others. Most sub-caste claimed superiority or parity with their nearest neighbors. Interestingly, their political and social rights appear unconnected to this phenomenon. Brahmins were acknowledged to be the highest caste and behaved as such. They served as guides to almost all other castes. There were sectarian quarrels among Brahmins regarding philosophies, modes of worship and other facets of religion. Most castes allowed for its members to withdraw from daily life to a complete spiritual pursuit (or sanyasa) resulting in higher honor for that member. Such members subsisted minimally and usually by begging for their basic needs. Among Brahmins this was seen as a very high honor. Priests, on the other hand, were not held very high as the received a salary! Each community had its own gods, temples and customs, which they were able to practice without any interference. Many meat eaters practiced animal sacrifice as a form of worship – a practice shunned by people higher in the caste system.
Finally, as we get close to Mysore and Srirangapatnam, we see effects of Tipu Sultan's rule. Buchanan visited the area in the first decade of 1800, a year or two after the Sultan's defeat and the damage of his misrule was still very much in effect. The Sultan comes across as an insecure and tyrannical megalomaniac. It appears he was mainly interested in converting his entire kingdom to Islam, punishing those who resisted. He is said to have destroyed several temples and penalized Brahmins and other Hindu religious leaders who did not take his offer to convert to Islam. He was arbitrary in his administration, often creating new towns and forcing entire population to migrate from one to other. His trade and finance policies were also ill thought – Buchanan mentions he would force shopkeepers to sell their goods to his soldiers at a fraction of the cost resulting in heavy loses, and eventually either ruining them or forcing them to migrate to other areas. Corruption in his administration was common thanks to a lack of checks and balances. Punishments were arbitrary and severe. He also forbade any trade with neighboring kingdoms with all whom he had quarrels. His frequent warfare resulted in abandonment of a large part of the farming area and in loss of livelihood for a large part of his population. The deprivation of livelihood and rights among his people has a definite effect on their behavior and Buchanan observed a general distrust of the government among all sections. All these seemed to be in sharp contrast to his father Hyder Ali's rule (which though ruinous to his neighboring kingdoms were beneficial to his own people) and his more liberal neighbor to the East – The Nawab of Arcot. Buchanan also mentions the effects of the invasion of the Marathas and Lord Cornwallis in the region resulted in more damage, but these pale in comparison with Tipu Sultan's.
One gets the feeling that most of the people encountered during the journey were wary and defensive. Preceding centuries of conflicts resulting in erosion of rights and freedom seems to have caused the inhabitants to become more conservative and less open to new ideas. There appears very little original thought and most people are content with preserving what they have – be it wealth or customs.

Suffragette Stories, 6 December
UEA and Norfolk County Council's Library and Information Service hosted a celebration at the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library to mark 100 years since women first voted in a general election in the UK. The event launched a physical archive exhibition curated by students from Broadland High Ormiston Academy. The exhibition, which ran throughout December, included material from the Kenney Papers and stories of local suffragettes and a showcase of the numerous intergenerational workshops held throughout Norfolk involving school children, who interviewed community residents in libraries on how women's roles have changed since women first voted in 1918.
The launch also heard readings from an anthology of stories written by established and emerging writers, school children and other community members to be published online by UEA's School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing (LDC) throughout 2019, to remember forgotten suffragettes and to recreate the suffragette tree plantation which was sadly destroyed in the 1960s to make way for housing.
Suffragette Stories is a partnership between the UEA and Norfolk County Council Library & Information Service, and is generously funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
A digital exhibition of 100 digitised items from the Kenney Papers archive is nearing completion and will be launched online at the end of February 2019.
The suffragette display curated by Norfolk school children was on display at the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library throughout December.

Q5 Laser Scanner for 2D and 3D Measurement
The optimum method for automatic non-contacting measurement of:
Free Shape Comparison | Profile | Width | Height | Depth | Edge | Groove | Channel | Bead | Angle | Roundness | Presence | Planarity | Deformation | Flushness | Volume | Position | Completeness | Track Accuracy | Doubling
Principle: Laser Line Triangulation
QuellTech laser-scanners make use of the triangulation principle to detect the two-dimensional profile of surfaces. By means of particular optical components, a point-shaped laser beam is expanded to a line and projected to the object of interest. The diffuse light of the reflected laser line is captured by an objective at a certain angle and then directed to a two-dimensional receiver chip.
On the basis of distances and angles known, a precise calibrated height value (z) is calculated for each pixel in the x level (laser line), resulting in a precise profile in the x-z plane of the sample. If the scanner is guided over the sample (y axis), a series of profiles is created forming a three-dimensional point cloud in space. This point cloud can be subjected by dimensional control carried out by the software.
The new Q5- Laser Scanner Series:
High Resolution and Scan Rate Combined in a Compact Unit
The new QuellTech Q5 Laser Scanner Series combines the advantages of small form factors with both high resolution and scan rate.
The sensor disposes of different set-up possibilities with respect to the analysis algorithm. Measurement results are delivered via Ethernet, calibrated in the X / Z plane.
Special adjustable algorithms can be selected, extremely useful particularly also for optically most demanding surfaces. Time-consuming calibration tasks for the user are no more required, as the calibration routine runs on board.
High Scan Rate with up to 14,000 Profiles per second
Due to an appropriate limitation of the image range (AOI) in X and Z direction, the scan rate could considerably be increased.
- High resolution and detection frequency with up to 14.000 profiles and 28 Mio. points per second
- X measuring range from 10 to 1022 mm
- Z measuring range (height) from 5 to 878 mm
- Laser wave length blue 405/450nm, red 650nm
Different power classes are permanently available, ranging from 1 to 100 mW. Power class and wave length can distinctly be chosen for each surface to be assessed.
Further Features of the Q5 Laser Scanner
- Max. resolution: 0,3 µm (numeric resolution)
- Special algorithms for highly reflective materials, COG, Finite Impulse Response
- 1 Trigger Input, Encoder Input RS422
- Master-Slave Configuration for Multi-Scanner-Applications
- Individual extremely accurate calibration, directly processed within the laser scanner
- Electronics and laser protected by temperature sensor
- Software Developer Kit

Click here for a replay of the race
Click here for the post-race interview with the winning connections
Enebish Ganbat (winning trainer of Mongolian Saturday)
"He loves Keeneland. Lexington is his home town. This summer, we were in England and a doctor found (he had) a big ulcer. It took two months (for the horse to fully recover) but it seems everything is all right. We're going to take him to the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita."
Carlos Montalvo (winning rider)
"Oh my god, what a wonderful trip. When he drew that hole, the 12 hole, he (trainer Ganbat) was very happy. He said, 'Don't mess it up. The horse knows what to do, just don't mess it up.'
On whether Mongolian Saturday was tiring near the finish
"No, not at all. He was coming off that layoff, and (Ganbat) had him ready. He trained him just enough to win this one, and you know what the goal is."
Shaun Bridgmohan (rider of runner-up Hogy)
"He ran good. He's a late runner and had to get his feet under him but once he did he came rolling. I thought he gave me a nice kick down at the end. I thought I was going to get there at one point. He was finishing really, really well. The wire just came up too soon."
Ricardo Santana Jr. (rider of dead-heat third-place finisher Front Pocket Money)
"He tried hard. He was in a perfect spot, no excuse, just not the winner. It was a tough race for him, but he tried pretty hard."
Paco Lopez (rider of dead-heat third-place finisher Galton)
"(My horse) ran his last race from (the back of the field). Today he showed me a little speed and when I came up in the middle of the group he came running pretty good. The winner is a tough horse, a Grade 1 Breeders' Cup winner, but my horse came running great."

Now Shipping - POF-USA Revolution DI in .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor
POF-USA broke barriers and won awards when they released the piston driven .308 Revolution. Now, they are introducing the Revolution DI (Direct Impingement). By popular demand, you get the same technology, same durability, same features, and same AR-15 size (yes, it is truly an AR-15 sized rifle that shoots .308), but in a smaller direct impingement system.
What makes the Revolution so special? First, it is NOT a small frame AR-10, its smaller! It features many 5.56 parts; such as charging handle, bolt carrier, roller cam pin, buffer, heat-sink barrel nut, and handguard. Those are just the parts that are interchangeable. The barrel extension, bolt assembly, upper and lower receiver are all the exact same size as those found on an AR-15. This is what makes the Revolution Di possible, and puts a .308 AR platform in your hands that feels and handles like your 5.56 AR-15.
The Revolution Di didn't shed weight by eliminating features. It's quite the opposite. There is virtually nothing left to upgrade - no matter your shooting style or sport. This is a full-featured battle carbine complete with an ambidextrous billet lower receiver, 9-position adjustable gas block, heat-sink barrel nut, Renegade rail, single stage match grade trigger, triple port muzzle brake, and more.
The original Revolution PD (Piston Driven) weighs in at a paltry 7.35 pounds, turning heads for its incredible lightweight and small stature for a .308. The 308 Revolution DI weighs even less at 6.81 pounds with a 16" barrel, making it ideal for just about any situation you put it in.
Shipping now in .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor.
For more information, visit www.pof-usa.com.

Deltek's Vision Time-sheets
Hopes that one of your first explanations about timekeeping from your Deltek Vision consultant is that time sheets create payroll costs rather than payroll. As an accountant for "nuts and bolts," at least one side of our brain is struggling with information processing. So let's pause it:
- The employee work cost rate on the info center accounting tab should be their pay rate. This is quite easy to determine if they are true hourly. If they are paid, however, their annual salary divided by 2080 hours should reflect their hourly rate.
- The amount should reflect their salary at the configured interval if the adjusted pay work cost is used. For instance, every week, every two or a fixed number of days.
How Time sheets Function
If a time sheet is posted, it applies to the selected projects an amount based on the hourly rate multiplied by the time charged. This creates labor/payroll costs directly or indirectly (overhead). The time sheet created credit can go to one place out of two:
Revenue statement as the cost of work or payroll variance
This account is an overhead line item used to adjust the total time sheet for the payroll distributed in effect. Also, amounts remaining on this account following the entry of the payroll journal reflect the net amount of uncompensated overtime (OT) for salary workers (negative amounts), and the OT premium for hourly staff (positive amounts) is based on this process.
The balance sheet as payroll liability
The remaining amount must be reclassified to the Revenue Statement as indicated above after the payroll journal entry has been entered.
Handling Leave without Pay
Many companies are not properly accounted for LWOPs (leave without pay). Of course, it is necessary to track hours in the case of employees on leave for statutory purposes, but no payroll costs must be recorded. The simple solution is to allow cost tables and connect one to LWOP projects. The table should either contain a labor code(s) or several ZERO employees. The standard job cost rate will be exceeded by the employees and payroll costs avoided.
Deltek Vision Time sheet Features
Policy and procedures for effective and thorough schedule management. You must be included in their culture. Deltek Vision has several tools for assisting project managers with this process, as well as daily entry and tight time-sheet submission deadlines.
Floor Check is a powerful tool introduced in version 7.2 which allows time sheet administrators to see if their time sheets are being made by employees. The time and the actual hours entered are displayed by the employee. Furthermore, floor control functions include e-mail so that you could directly email employees and tell them,' YOUR TIME SHEET' or create Predefined messages.
Unposted Labor Report is a standard project report that only shows un posted time sheets. This is the ideal tool for project managers to use to see what has been charged to their projects before they are posted. This is the perfect opportunity to fix time sheets before they are charged to our projects.
project Reports with Unposted Time: Through the unposted time option, project reports can be included in the project reports. As a consequence, project managers can see work being done during the time sheet period for their projects.
The Line Item approval allows project managers, once time sheets are submitted, to use line-item approvals to put their finalized approval on time sheets. Line item approvals link to the ownership of the project, so project managers will see their project only.
Time sheet Audit Trail tracks time sheets changes after savings or submissions have been made. You can request a comment from the employee, or simply follow changes without an explanation. Trails of audit can track transfers of billings, too. This is the "where they went," and the report "where they came from." In employee reporting, there is a time sheet audit trail report.
Deltek Vision Reviews
Positive review
Users who provided a favorable evaluation of Deltek Vision praised their effectiveness in monitoring initiatives, staff, and accounting. Many people, especially news, also enjoyed their customization choices. Others have mentioned their timely and efficient assistance for customers.
"Deltek Vision is a software tool that lets you use tailored suggestion modules and public form modules to reduce the time required to prepare your proposition. We can rapidly and easily draw data on proposition templates from Vision in a matter of minutes."
"It is best that the program can replicate the amount of effort each of you will find using the programs that are not searchable in past quarters. Nothing else works out as beneficial about the software besides being prepared to duplicate your prior time sheet."
Negative Review
No negative Deltek Vision reviews are available online. However, some consumers have noted that opposed to comparable programs it is not as straightforward. Others also stated that adequate learning is highly recommended to enhance its characteristics before implementation. Certain individuals also tired of elevated training expenses.
"Without exorbitant charges, they have no training assistance. There are no manuals. One section of the software can pay $500 for a straightforward tutorial."
"The findings of the search are very bad. You can get the feeling that the program was done to use it as time tracking for another purpose. It would appear that there can be a more user-friendly design."
