In a Store App (locally), I have textbox where user enters a key. I have an eventhandler for KeyDown.
I would like to do the following inside the event handler.
if (e.Key.Equals(Key.Enter)
|| e.Key.Equals(Key.Return), then do something....
This works in WPF, using KeyEventArgs, it does not work in the StoreApp. In WPF I am using KeyEventsArgs. StoreApps requires
I cannot seem to find the "Key" enumeration (System.Windows.Input) in my StoreApps project, but I can find it WPF project.
How can I validate what key is entered by the user with a StoreApps?
Thank you,
M. Saleem Yusuf
Hello Saleem,
it is the VirtualKey enumeration.
IntelliSense shows it if you type e. in the description of the key entry.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As KeyRoutedEventArgs)
If e.Key = Windows.System.VirtualKey.Enter Then
' Do something.
End If
End Sub

This week we have grass in the sensory table ready to be cut.
Scissors were provided and we sat back and watched how they went at it.
|The smell of the cut grass was so fresh and spring like.
Some children already knew how to hold the scissors in one hand
but others not yet.
|It was fun to brush our hands across the top of the thick wheat grass.
It was a good opportunity to talk about the scissors opening and closing
and getting the feel of that movement.
With a bit of instruction on where to put your fingers some were able to move
from two hand use to one handed cutting.
I worried about what we would do when the grass was cut.
This little guy figured that out for me.
He was playing with a tray of toy caterpillars and green bits.
He put the caterpillars into the grass.
So we built a garden.
I can't wait to see what will be added tomorrow.
I wonder if some of the grass will grow back.

Along with being accessible through networks such as Tor and I2P, Monero implements various cryptography techniques to unlock an extensive level of security and privacy:
Untraceable Stealth Address
As we all know, reusing the same address for bitcoin transactions is a common privacy issue of Bitcoin. Receiving or sending multiple transactions to the same address can allow anyone who knows your address to track its activity. Thus, bitcoin is not a tool that should be used on the darknet, especially for privacy purposes.
On the other hand, Monero has no such privacy concerns. Monero's blockchain is secured in such a way that only the sender and receiver are able to identify the destination address. Only a unique cryptographic hash is provided, to each and every transaction that can be decoded by just the send or receiver to disclose the real address. These encrypted addresses are called "stealth addresses."
Related: Bitcoin's current price
Unique Separated Transaction Units
When you send XMR to any address, it arrives as several separate payment units. Basically, each unit would appear on the Monero blockchain as being transferred to its appointed and distinct stealth address. This process is applied to the sender as well as the miners when any fees are paid to them. This makes tracking of any transactions far more complicated.
Undetectable Ring Signature Payments
Ring Signatures is another technique that adds up to the cryptographic system behind Monero's blockchain.
Just to be clear, similar to Bitcoin, Monero also consists of a public and private key in order to engage in buying or selling of XMR.
For example, if you are to send 18 XMR to a shop, the XMR get sub-divided into 10,5 and 3 XMR streams, these flow into distinct Monero addresses of the ship. The private key that authorizes any 10, 5 and 3 streams sent across the network, becomes a possible signatory to the transaction. The number of possible signatories is dependent on the "mixing depth" you set. As your transaction splits into units, ring signatures guarantee that transactions can't be stalked back to any system's IP address.
In the end, it's almost impossible to track or identify Monero users
These 3 techniques provide maximum privacy and prevention from roaming trackers. Monero's code ensures the anonymity of every user and leaves barely any possibility of a linkage to take place.

This week, Conservative MP Nadine Dorries revealed on Twitter (clever) that she lets staff members access her computer and know her government passwords. So, the 'House of Commons Staff Handbook on Information Security Responsibilities' clearly went to good use then…
Password sharing
There's no denying that most MPs are clueless about tech. And it seems that a lot of other MPs are into password sharing too. 'Shouting passwords from desks' is a popular pastime at Westminster. Everyone knew Dorries's passwords – from her staff, to visiting interns. She apparently had so much online correspondence to work through that staff had to access to her computer to offload the work.
Simple password security – surely it's just common sense? There clearly needs to be the most basic level of IT training given to government employees – security 101.
Not the first tine…
The government already have egg on their face from earlier in the year where many MPs were left unable to access their e-mail accounts after a cyber attack. The attack on the House of Commons caused uproar, and ironically accounts were vulnerable due to use of weak passwords.
The conservative government has proved time and time again that it has a dangerously regressive approach to technology. Be it Amber Rudd's warped views on encryption, or Theresa May's totalitarian vision with her Snooper's Charter. Nobody is safe.
Human error
What is most concerning is the human link, the threat that cyber security bods have been banging on about for years. It only takes one uninformed person to click a link, 'accidentally' delete a file, or reveal a password. Surely MPs should understand that their data is highly sought after by hackers, too.
We're sure that there'll be more scandal coming from the House of Commons soon enough anyway – only for it to be covered up and mistakes repeated.

Facebook is to hire 800 new staff in London, expanding its UK headquarters despite coming under increasing scrutiny from the country's lawmakers.
The new hires – predominately in engineering roles and to be recruited over the next year – will bring the number of staff working for Facebook in the UK to 2,300. The social media company will also offer space in its new office to UK based startups as part of an accelerator program, the company said Monday.
Facebook's expansion comes at a time when Britain is so alarmed by the extent and scale of Russian interference in US politics via social media networks that its lawmakers are getting ready to interrogate Silicon Valley giants – including Facebook and Twitter Inc – in Washington.
Facebook joins a number of large tech companies doubling down on their presence in London, despite the ongoing uncertainty about the UK's pending exit from the European Union.
"It's a sign of confidence in our country that innovative companies like Facebook invest here," UK Chancellor Philip Hammond said in a statement.
London will be Facebook's largest engineering hub outside the US, according the statement.
The UK is currently lobbying hard for tech talent. The government plans to double the number of visas available to highly skilled workers, including technology-savvy candidates. Facebook, Snap Inc and Google all announced plans to increase hiring in the UK, while Apple Inc is leasing about 500,000 square-feet of office space at Battersea Power Station on the south bank of London's River Thames.
Among European countries, the UK was the most pessimistic about the future of the European technology industry, according to a report last week from London-based venture capital firm Atomico, with 18 percent of respondents – which included thousands of founders and investors – saying they were less optimistic than they were a year earlier.
Over the last 12 months it's also become harder for British startups to raise new funding, according to 32% of founders questioned.

I watched James and the Giant Peach again recently. I never actually got to see it when it came out. I vaguely remember that my mother, for some reason, did not like it. I think maybe she just found Tim Burton's stop-motion shit weird in general because I remember having wanted to see The Nightmare Before Christmas too and we never did. So instead, I had a phase a few years after high school where I "caught up" on some of the Disney movies I missed out on and this was one of my favorites.
What I have been thinking about mostly since having rewatched it is how they translated the insects into their more "human" forms and then animated them to reflect both sides of that. Some of them, Grasshopper and Centipede, were made more humanoid with insect characteristics like their multiple arms and antennas. Others strike sort of a middle ground where they have rather unavoidable insect characteristics that need to be accounted for. Ladybug's large round body and Glowworms's bioluminescent tail specifically. Then there's Earthworm and Spider, who could only really just be made as larger versions of their actual species.
Earthworm (who is voiced by the same guy who plays Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter movies) is particularly impressive to me because this presents a lot of limitations for expressing his character through his animation. He has no limbs, very little in the way of a face. Bodily, he's little more than a wriggling tube. He uses the end of his tail as a makeshift hand at times, twirling it around as he talks and holding things with it, but mostly, he needs to make the most of what little he has. It is perhaps for this reason that he gets slightly less screen time than most of the other insects (although far more than Glowworm who is pretty much just set lighting and a back-up singer).
In overcoming those restrictions, though, his character design is pretty cool.
He wears a shirt collar and a bow tie, both to imitate a worm's clitellum and, more importantly, easily differentiate his head from his ass. Bow ties, when not seen on debonair gentleman or comedians, are the sort of thing to be found on men best described as "unassuming" and there is no bug in this bunch of more modest standing than a worm. But the tie is droopy too, belying Earthworm's wet mop personality. He's a pessimist through and through, to the detriment and annoyance of everyone else. Trying to resolve this is a focal point of one of James' WHEN I WAS moral stories.
Even after learning to look at things in more positive way, though, he's still quick to revert to expecting the worst. His bodily movement reflects this fatalism whenever he goes into one of these fits. It reminds me a lot of silent film acting, where for lack of dialogue (or in his case, the ability to really gesticulate), the body was moved more dramatically in a way that looks comical without those limitations. When he's not shivering in a corner or in a full panic, he's lamenting their inevitable deaths by flopping around languidly.
He does lend himself to physical comedy occasionally, though.
One thing I found particularly amusing is that Earthworm, despite having no ears, claims to have "exquisite hearing". This proves to be true, as he is the first to hear the mechanical shark's approach, followed by Spider. He presses his head up against the wall of the peach to "hear" this, but it seems he is more "listening" to the vibrations. Rather apt for a worm to have his "ear to the ground". This explains why Spider is able to hear it next; she's sitting on her web when this happens, so she can feel the vibrations too.
Later on, during the underwater pirate scene, he "listens" to Spider's tether and declares that it "sounds like big trouble".
The best thing about him, I think, is his glasses.
Earthworm is blind and wears sunglasses at all times. They literally serve as his eyes as far as emoting goes. The shape of the lenses changes to reflect how his eyes might look if they were more than little squinty slits. (I found an auction where they were selling Earthworm's puppet here. You can see both Earthworm's eyes without glasses as well as the interchangeable lenses.) I find it reminiscent of early Spy vs. Spy strips where their sunglasses did the same thing. (Unfortunately, in my opinion, the Spies today are drawn to merely have large black eyes.)
I took these caps in the space about about five seconds. In that time, he went through four different lens changes.
Earthworm's sunglasses end up being important later in that they go from being the mark of his blindness to his marketable attribute. At the end of the movie, each of the insects goes on to have some sort of notable career, as displayed in the newspapers. Earthworm becomes the spokesman for some sort of skin cream that apparently attracts sexy women. His glasses make him cool now, in the ranks of Stevie Wonder, Anna Wintour, and Cory Hart.

The backbone of agile methodology is the fragmentation of a complex task into a small components. As a result those development of small components leads to iterations. So a typical project of 6 months is replaced with 12 iterations of two week projects. So we finish one iteration to measure what tasks we achieved.
Now agile is a Software Development methodology with many methods and set of good practices, Scrum is one of such agile methods. In scrum, we generally have Sprints which is the name given to the iterations. A sprint could be of 1 week to 4 week long. One thing which I forgot to mention is that the success of project execution using agile methodology largely depends on the team. Few words which would be typically used to describe those teams are cross functional, self organized. It's a very much disciplined team. The team should not have a typical PM who decides who has to do what, rather this call is taken by the whole team. BA's and scrum master though play a significant role. In my point of view BA's are the people who has the potential (in terms of project scope and feature control) to bring down a project and vice-versa. Scrum master is the one who typically manages the iterations, plays a role of coach for the team and should encourage and empower team to deliver the best.
In Scrum, we typically showcase the project or "progress" to the client and consistently take their feedbacks, suggestions, improvements. This is where we accommodate the "change". We build a component and do a showcase to the client (in other words demo), this gives us the advantage of changing it as the rest is yet to be developed. This also help us understand the customers when they give their feedback. Moreover it increases the customer's confidence in the development team.
So a typical scrum project will have activities like Sprint planning meeting, daily scrum meeting, sprint review and finally Sprint Retrospective.
Reading this article may land you with several questions in mind but when practised properly it will lead to a more organized team delivering a good product.

From my experience and understanding any development model is Iteration and Incremental one,the variation is how often you do thatReplyDelete
--Dhanasekar S
Yeah true, it's actually a very natural process (Incremental or Iterative) but I feel the variation is in the "way of implementation"...ReplyDelete

SECUNDERABAD: 'Mission Satyanishtha' – a program on Ethics in Public Governance, launched by Indian Railways was conducted today i.e., 29th August, 2018 on South Central Railway. The daylong event held at SCR Head quarters, Rail Nilayam, Secunderabad and simultaneously video linked with all six divisions viz., Secunderabad, Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Guntur, Guntakal and Nanded was attended by a very large number of Officers and Senior Supervisors.
The Indian Railways has associated with "Initiative of Change Centre for Governance, New Delhi" to take up the program nationally. The facilitator speakers were Shri Prabhat Kumar, Former Secretary, Internal Security, Ex. Governor of Jharkhand and President of IC Centre for Governance; Shri Mahesh Kapoor, Former Advisor, Planning Commission & Vice President of IC Centre for Governance; Shri Mukund Bihari Kaushal, Former Secretary, Internal Security, Ministry of Home Affairs; Shri Anil Swaroop, Former Secretary, School Education & Literacy, MHRD and Shri Dilip Patel, Counselor and Learning Facilitator associated with the IC Centre for Governance. Shri Mahesh Kumar Gupta, Member Engineering, Railway Board, New Delhi was the Chief Guest while Shri Shanti Narain, Former Member Traffic, Railway Board and Secretary General of IC Centre for Governance delivered the concluding remarks.
Shri Vinod Kumar Yadav, General Manager, South Central Railway in his inaugural address highlighted the great initiative of Shri Ashwani Lohani, Chairman Railway Board under the leadership of Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon'ble Minister of Railways towards conceptualizing a program on Ethics in Public Governance which took shape as "Mission Satyanishtha". This Mission has given more teeth to the unprecedented transformation initiative seen on Indian Railways in the past one year. It is time for the Railway Officers and Staff to take advantage and transform the mammoth organization to cater to the utmost satisfaction of the Customers, both passengers and freight, the General Manager stressed. Presenting SCR's own focus towards performance and transformation which has earned the Zone, recognition as the best on Indian Railways, Shri Vinod Kumar Yadav expressed confidence that the effort towards attaining the best will continue with the same zeal.
Elaborating on Mission Satyanishtha, Shri Vinod Kumar Yadav expressed optimism that this movement will transform each employee to work with honesty and integrity. This in turn will develop every individual employee as a positive, happy and healthy entity. In the last 50 years, Indian Railways could not develop its Infrastructure in tune with the demand putting pressure on its system. However, there is a fresh emphasis lent by the Minister of Railways and Chairman Railway Board, which has brought a fresh momentum to rail development in the last one year. Their bold decision to accord top priority to maintenance and safety has hugely added to make Indian Railways more efficient and trust worthy. Mission Satyanishtha is bound to remove impediments as corruption, delay in decision making etc, thereby giving thrust to these initiatives of progress.
The Chief Guest, Shri Mahesh Kumar Gupta defined the mission as a combination of SATYA which stands for truth and NISHTA, a belief, devotion and duty. He stated that the duty of Indian Railways is a combination of government organization and a commercial organization. Each individual faces difficult situations in public in personal life, which can be overcome by following the inner voice to right path. Satyanishta is not an easy path and there will be temporary setbacks, but on the strength of ethics the truth will prevail. Railway workforce has chosen the job and it is their duty to fulfill the role assigned, he added and said that this can be achieved when ethics take the center stage in the daily way of life.
The first speaker, Shri Mahesh Kapoor described Ethics as what is right. Ethics in Railways will bring more punctuality and safety in train operations, since each employee will work with a sincere purpose, committed to safely carry passengers and not indulge in any unethical practice which can lead to loss of innocent lives due to accidents. He wanted the Railway officers and staff to stand for values without fear, so that their sub-ordinates follow them.
Shri Prabhat Kumar described Satyanishtha as a unique journey meant to make Indian Railways more ethical. It is contagious and has got a lot of potential to positively spread and make the work force ethical, emphasizing that the results will be still more high on SCR because of its sincere work culture. He brought out the fact that individuals do things according to context and ethics directly depend on the same. Shri Prabhat Kumar wanted the gathering to personally seek answers to the questions whether in public perception, Indian Railways is considered an ethical organization; whether the workforce take pride in working for Indian Railways; whether each one is performing the job to the best of capability; if they are honest in various aspects and if they have any time exceeded their call of duty. Railway officers and supervisors should develop their ethical levels to make their sub-ordinates as true followers and not just the ones who obey for authority.
Shri Mukund Bihari Kaushal presented his definition of ethics and stated that it has to a continuous process. The factors instrumental for imbibing ethics are – Individual background, Commitment to work, Pride in the job and Organization. It is for each individual to see themselves in a mirror after taking a decision. Sticking to the correct path in professional working will also bring in a lot of personal peace, he opined. The speaker also advised that disagreements with higher authorities can be presented in a proper manner so that the same is understood and accepted. He narrated his own experiences as a Senior Police Official who also served as the Commissioner of Delhi Police, to buttress his point that ethical values and following the correct path will always prevail.
Shri Anil Swarup brought out the fact that generally good people fight their own battles while the bad gather. Therefore the solution lies in developing the – NEXUS OF GOOD which focuses on how good people can spread goodness and also join together to create more of goodwill. He highlighted that positive energy is infectious and will add lot of mental strength to each of the railway employee when they enhance the ethical standards in life.
Shri Dilip Patel presented a unique "Life Balance Sheet" wherein he interestingly brought out the negatives and positives of balancing life and advised the gathering to do away with negativity so as to derive more happiness and content in professional and personnel lives. Ethical governance is not that simple and therefore taking a positive approach will give direction to each individual and enable them to act with more compassion, energy and trust with others, thereby enabling the team to perform together.
Shri Shanti Narain gave credit to the Hon'ble Rail Minister and Chairman Railway Board for taking up "Mission Satyanishta" on Indian Railways. With its disciplined, dedicated and committed workforce, the organization is bound to succeed in its endeavor to enhance Ethics. The role of Railway Officers and Supervisors is critical since their determine the organizational perception and can make a change. Listening to the inner voice of ethical consciousness will do wonders, he opined.
Earlier, Shri N.V.Ramana Reddy, Principal Chief Personnel Officer, SCR welcomed the gathering and briefed on the purpose of Mission Satyanishta, which is to sensitize Officers and Staff on probity in public life. Shri John Thomas, Additional General Manager, SCR administered a pledge to the gathering on integrity, transparency, eradication of corruption and to provide value based service to countrymen. Ms.Alka Arora Misra, Executive Director/Training, Railway Board also spoke. Shri S.Srinivas Chief Personnel Officer, Administration presented the vote of thanks.

Shooting their Grayguns-tuned SIG SAUER P320s at the 2016 East Coast Steel Challenge Championship, A.J. Stuart and Annette Evans finished first and tenth respectively in the popular Production division. Billed as the largest Steel Challenge Shooting Association (SCSA) match ever, more than 260 shooters submitted more than 400 entries for the three-day event in late September.
Steel Challenge is a speed shooting event consisting of eight standard stages with non-moving steel targets of various sizes. The steel plates are placed at different distances and angles from the shooter's position. Each shooter shoots each stage five times for a timed score, with the slowest time for each stage excluded. Each stage consists of five steel plates. Although the shooter may shoot the plates in any order, the last plate shot must be the designated "Stop Plate."
For the East Coast Steel Challenge, competitors can bring multiple guns and shoot in different divisions. Some competitors shot in four divisions during the weekend, and there was certainly plenty of options to choose from. This year's match included two rimfire pistol divisions (Open and Iron Sights), seven center fire pistol divisions (Open, Limited, Production, Carry Optics, Single Stack and Optics Revolver, Iron Sight Revolver), and three rifle divisions (Pistol Caliber Carbine Optics, Rimfire Rifle Iron Sights and Rimfire Rifle Iron Sights). Sixty shooters competed in the Production division with Stuart and Evans.
"I had a great time shooting the match," said Stuart. "A couple of junior shooters were on my squad, and they were fun to shoot with."
For Stuart's first place finish in Production, he completed the five stages with a time of 110.4 seconds, more than 12 seconds faster than the second place shooter Paddy Sullivan, and more than 21 seconds faster than the third place finisher. Stuart finished first in six of eight stages.
"During the first part of the day, I was not following my own best-practice of aiming for a specific spot on the plate," said Stuart. "I always want to aim for the bottom third of the first plate, and the leading one-third of the following plates. After a couple of stages, I smoothed things out a bit to meet my goal of a Production win."
For Evans, she had two top five stages and three top 10 stages to finish 10th in Production. She was also High Lady for the main match (centerfire pistols with and without optics). "Although I don't shoot a lot of steel, it's hard to resist a regional championship nearly in my backyard," said Evans. "I'm always glad when I make the trip to shoot this match."
Evans and Stuart mostly focus on shooting a different competitive discipline – United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) – which incorporates movement, reloads, and props, along with moving and partial targets. "I was happy to see how well my skills translated even without the benefit of specific training," said Evans.
"The match has gained popularity during the last three years," Evans commented. "Match Director David Snyder works very hard to run a smooth match with great volunteers. "A generous prize table, raffles, side matches, on-site food and vendors makes for a great weekend."

This is one of our favorite things to eat from our local Romanian cuisine. The flavor that comes with roasted peppers and its delicate veggie smokiness is matched by few things in this world. Since we recently made this salad (for the first time I should add, since back home someone else would always make it) to use it as an ingredient for another salad, we decided to share this recipe, especially for our non-Romanian friends.
The salad is supposed to be served as a side to a main course. There are more than one way to roast the bell peppers, but the easiest and least messy by far is using the oven, as we have done here. Also, keep in mind that red bell peppers yield the most flavorful and juicy pulp, so they should be the only color choice for this. Enjoy.
Ingredients (serves 2):
- 4 big red bell peppers
- salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red balsamic vinegar
Wash the peppers and put them in a tray lined with baking sheet.
Bake them in the oven at 250 degrees C (maximum heat) for 40 minutes, turning them on the sides every 10. This way, each side will be up for 10 minutes, enough to get roasted.
When they're done, put them in a small pot and sprinkle salt over them generously:
Cover the pot and let them rest for 15 minutes. In this time, they will leak some juices and their charred skins will become easier to peel off. Don't wash them at any point, or you will loose most of the flavor. After they soak up simply peel their skins off and discard them:
Event peel the skins that seem not burnt - they're chewy and not very nice to end up in the salad. Only the soft pulp should be put there.So peel off everything and put the pulp, into long strips into the salad bowl. Add salt to taste, the oil and vinegar and about 2 tablespoons of the juices left by the peppers. Mix and the salad is done. Dig in! :)

Lip Tricks
Red, pink, nude, rose – these are the most common lipstick colours – any woman could testify that! Depending on the occasion, we often opt for said shades as our go-to lipstick, though we could be missing a trick or two when it comes to it being the right shade for our skin tone!
The term mauve describes the color of the wild mallow, a delicate flower with healing features. It appears in many European countries and often found on roadsides or sparse forests.
This gentle floral color suits every complexion, as it is somewhere between purple and nude and has a smoke-gray undertone to it. With the texture you have all the free choice you want, because mauve looks both elegant and effortless. Party in the evening? Make a smoky eye with mauve and brown shades your go-to look. Mauve is not only suitable for every skin type, but also for every occasion.
Rosewood also proves to be quite the bestseller among lipsticks. The nuance is a warm, muted shade of red reminiscent of rosewood. However, which skin shade does it suit best? Due to its yellowish undertones, it is best suited to fair skin with the same undertone to match. If you use a dark lip contour pencil for this and put bright accents in the middle of the lips, you create an optical illusion – the lips look fuller and you get a kind of 3D effect.
Nude lipstick is a true classic and matches almost all skin tones. Nude shades of beige, rose, apricot, peach and berry are this season's top picks. The brighter nuances of it like beige, rose or apricot go well with thinner lips, and even better with tanned bronzy skin. Bright colors optically enlarge the lips, dark colors make them seem smaller. Of course, everything depends on your personal preferences and the look you want to achieve.
Red lipstick is like old Hollywood movies – classic and timeless. On the one hand, red is a color with a bold presence and eye-catching effect, on the other hand, red stands for power, emancipation, love and energy. It also brings out our feminine and seductive side. Red can be more difficult to style on paler skin tones, but with the right kind of contouring and framed eye makeup it can work well – it's all about the balance!
Tips and tricks for lipstick application
You can blend the lipstick from the inner to the outer edges of the lips with a brush and then remove the excess with a tissue. Quickly put the folded cloth between your lips and pinch it together.
Another rule of thumb is to never apply lipstick on dry, cracked lips. If you wear lip products on a daily basis, always make sure to scrub your lips before applying make-up or at least once a week. Use either special lip products or even just a clean toothbrush to massage the lips, which gently removes dry skin cells.
To make lipstick stay put all-day long, apply a lip liner before the lipstick and build up your lip color in layers. To make sure it's completely budge proof, a sealing product could be applied to make sure it doesn't get smudged on your coffee cup.

March 20, 2019 (PARIS) - The Sudanese opposition alliance Sudan Call has decided to withdraw from the African Union Roadmap for a comprehensive settlement in the east African country and its armed groups stopped any peace talks with Khartoum.
The opposition alliance which is part of the Freedom and Change Declaration forces held a two-day meeting in the French capital to discuss the latest development in Sudan where the protests that erupted in December 2018 continue to occur calling on President Omer al-Bashir to step down.
Wednesday's decision comes as government officials recently stated several times they are in contact with the opposition leaders particularly Sadiq al-Mahdi leader of the National Umma Party (NUP) and Omer al-Digair of the Sudanese Congress Party (SCoP). Also, last week they spoke about contacts with Gibril Ibrahim, leader of Justice and Equality Movement (JEM).
"The Sudan Call forces have affirmed their rejection of all the initiatives for dialogue offered by the regime as they are deeply aware that the latter is seeking through these initiatives and slogans to divide the ranks of the forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change and to buy time," read the statement.
The opposition repeated they will only accept to discuss with the regime on the procedure of al-Bashir's stepping down and handover of power to the representatives of the people who will lead the transition period in the framework of the unified position of the forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change.
"Therefore, the Sudan call forces signatory of the Roadmap in August 2016, Addis Ababa, decided to withdraw from the (Agreement) considering it as a document of the past and not binding on them," reads the statement which was read by Mariam al-Mahdi during a press conference held in Paris.
In the same vein, JEM and Sudan Liberation Movement - Minni Minnawi (SLM-MM) which had to resume peace talks with the government in Doha "decided to stop all forms of negotiations" with Khartoum.
They "stressed that the issues of ending the war and building peace occupy an advanced position in the priorities of the transitional period, and that the solutions to their root causes and their effects will be included in the charters of the forces of Declaration of Freedom and Change through clear and detailed formulas that link the cause of peace process with democracy and social justice," stressed the statement.
The JEM and SLM-MM had to meet the government last January but they declined to resume peace talks as the protests continue across the country.
Observers in Khartoum say these decisions will enhance the cohesion of the opposition forces as the issue of negotiations with the regime empoisoned the relations between the National Consensus Forces and the Sudan Call.

Spring has sprung, therefore it's time to indulge in the good ol' spring clean. But don't limit this to your house- it's the perfect time to give your coop the good once over as well!
Short on supplies? Have a peck at our Spring Clean Bundle which has all you need to get that chook coop so fresh and so clean.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make your coop squeaky clean, and keep your flock healthy and happy.
Step 1: Mucking out the bedding
Using a trusty pair of gloves and a face mask (especially if you have allergies!) take every removable thing out of the coop. This includes feeders, drinkers, perches and nesting box trays. Then, grab all the used bedding and put it outside.
"Hot Tip: Use the chicken bedding to make an amazing compost for your garden!"
After you've gotten rid of all the bedding, scrape any dried bits and pieces off the coop with a paint scraper. It's a great tool to have on hand for any chicken keeper. Have a peck at our full list of essential tools for chook care here.
Step 2: Scraping off all the debris
Grab a brush and scrape off any dried bits of chicken poo, cobwebs, dust or any other materials out of the coop. Sweep the bottom of the coop.
After most of the debris has been cleared, mix some coop cleaner together and give the coop a scrub in places where any debris just doesn't want to budge.
"Hot Tip: There are lots of all-natural ingredients you can mix together to make a sweet smelling apple cider vinegar coop cleaner. "
Using boiling water in the cleaning mixture is a good way to kill any mites that might have clung on for dear life up until this point!
Step 3: Rinse and repeat
Give the perches of the coop a good scrubbing, and then do the same with the nesting box trays. Get rid of any mould and litter, scrub the coop with your trusty apple cider vinegar cleaner, and pour some boiling water over the top to kill any remaining parasites.
Grab a hose and give the whole chicken coop a good sprinkling of water all over.
It's time to let the chicken coop dry off, so now is a great time to give the feeders and drinkers a spring clean. Use your apple cider vinegar coop cleaner again to clean the chicken feeders and drinkers, then put them in the sun to dry completely.
Step 4: Fresh bedding
Once the coop has dried, pop some fresh hemp bedding into the nesting boxes. There's plenty of things you can add to your chicken coop bedding to keep it fresh and your chooks healthy and happy. Have a peck at our guide here!
"Hot Tip: Mix some regular grade diatomaceous earth into your fresh coop hemp bedding to prevent parasites and keep your girls dry and comfy."
Step 5: Home Sweet Home!
It's time to move back in. Pop some fresh hemp bedding on to the floor of the coop, and then put the dried feeders and drinkers back in. Then you can let the girls back in to their darling hen house.
Don't forget to wash your hands!
All of our coops are very easy to keep clean - especially with the detachable cleaning trays! Our Taj Mahal, Penthouse and Mansion will give your chickens the hygienic house of their dreams.

Dublin North Central has a reputation for being the epicentre of the country's drug problem. However, when John O'Keeffe met the gardaí who work the Frontline there, he discovered a much richer tapestry
By John O'Keeffe
Let us leave drugs issues aside for one moment when talking about DMR North Central Division of An Garda Síochána. Firstly, this place is busy – very busy. In fact, it is one of the busiest divisions in the Republic of Ireland, serving a catchment area that includes a broad mix of activity from major retail, commercial, public administration and defence, to residential. That is a lot of souls to protect – 86,664 to be precise.
Superintendent Gerry Murphy and Inspector Tim Burke are keen to stress the huge sweep of business types their men and women seek to protect. "The largest commercial employer in the area is the Irish Financial Services Centre; this is the fourth largest funds centre in Europe and employed approximately 25,000 persons at its optimum. The second largest commercial employer is retail," they continue, "and we watch over approximately 4,000 shops and 10 departments stores/shopping centres in the city centre providing 4.5 million square feet of retail space." They are not wrong. The average daily level of flow of people across the city centre is touching half a million, with a large percentage of these being tourists. This division has it all – and then some.
And yes, drug gangs, are a major issue for this division. In Store Street, teams like Sergeant Ciaran Whelan and Garda Tom Powell fight what seems like an unending war against drugs on our streets – as I found out recently when I went out with them.
Further North sits Mountjoy Garda Station, home to Detective Garda Niall Hodgins and Garda Ronan Hobbs. A day with Hodgins and Hobbs is like no other and the variety of work undertaken by them is truly jaw-dropping. On the day shift when I accompanied them, they answered a call from a garda in distress; spoke to mother of a man wanted in connection with two murders; staked out known drug houses and investigated an allegation of inappropriate images found on a business computer – not to mention courtesy stops at Croke Park before the Rolling Stones concert and the Princess Cruise Ship in Dublin Port.
As we patrolled the streets, Hodgins advised me that he had no doubt what his proudest moments in the Force were – and continue to be. "Being privileged to be trusted with the responsibility of countless investigations into the most heinous of crimes in the State – namely murder," he says.
But the career of a garda is a varied one and he remembers a particularly happy time when he was a unit biker when motorcyclists were attached to each working regular unit. His saddest moment, however, he says was, "learning of and subsequently participating in the funeral march and burial on the death of my dear friend Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe. We knew each other before we ever joined the Force."
In keeping, however, with the recent results of the PwC Cultural Audit across the Force, Hobbs and Hodgins believe that, "red tape and bureaucracy of a number of systems and protocols that have been put in place, merely result in a culture of box ticking." It's clear that these two gardaí are something more than box tickers – at the risk of embarrassing them, they and their colleagues are the beating heart of the Frontline.
Further West in the division sits the Bridewell Station, in the heart of the legal community where plans are afoot for a new station on its historic site.
Again, this is a station that is often associated with its work on tackling the inner-city drugs issue, yet perhaps less, for the sterling work that is done there on community policing. In the light of this, it is unsurprising that the station has a reputation for being a country station within a city.
Back up in Store Street, the variety of work involving the Frontline is obvious – especially, once more, when it comes to community policing. "The model of community policing we use is called the 'Small Area Policing' (SAPs)," Inspector Burke advises, "where each street within each district has been divided up through a set of predetermined criteria (demographic, socioeconomic, etc.) and then allocated to an individual garda who takes responsibility for that area." He soon dissuades me of any notion that community policing is just happy-clappy optics. "The community policing model works across all operational areas of policing including specialised units such as the drugs units and detective units," he says.
Whether fighting the drugs war or community policing by consent in DMR North Central, perhaps we should leave the final thought on the rollercoaster that is police service to Detective Garda Niall Hodgins. "My lasting memory is that no matter what happens in the Force, today's storm is tomorrow's gentle breeze," he muses.
Never a truer word.

This article is part of our DraftKings NBA series.
We have seven games featured on the DraftKings main slate. The Bucks are the only team on a back-to-back, and head into Toronto after a hard-fought game against the Wizards on Monday night. Otherwise the injury news to monitor is fairly minimal, but you'll want to check throughout the day as it's possible some extra value could open up.
Slate Overview
IND (-11) vs CHA O/U 209
MIL (-1) at TOR O/U 231
With a high total and close spread you may want to stack or at least roster a few pieces from this game, as it should be highly competitive from the start. I mentioned before the Bucks are on a back-to-back, and narrowly got out of Washington with an overtime win. It's possible a player or two could get some rest, but I'd expect everyone involved to be amped up for this one as it's a potential playoff preview between two of the best teams in the East.
OKC (-6) at CHI O/U 217.5
DEN (-12) vs DET O/U 216
BOS (-5) at POR O/U 225
LAL (-8) vs NOP O/U 238.5
If you're into narratives, this one has plenty as the Pelicans take on the Lakers in the game with highest total on the board. Los Angeles has won both games against New Orleans this season and will look to take a third, but this time around they'll be tasked with slowing down a red-hot Zion Williamson, who has scored over 40 fantasy points in his last four games. Add in the story line of three former Lakers facing former Pelicans superstar Anthony Davis, and this one has all the makings of a classic Hollywood blockbuster.
SAC (-6) at GSW O/U 224.5
Injury Situations to Monitor
Victor Oladipo (back) sat out against Toronto on Sunday. It appears he could make a return here, but look for Aaron Holiday to see some extra minutes and usage if Oladipo's unable to suit up.
Marquese Chriss (calf) sat Sunday versus the Pelicans. There is a chance he'll be ready for this one against the Kings, and would be in a favourable spot as they give up 37 fantasy points per game to centers and are in bottom of the league (48.7 percent) in rebounding efficiency.
Like Chriss, Draymond Green (pelvis) missed the game Sunday but also has a chance to get back for this one against the Kings. Eric Paschall drew the start in his place but wasn't able to capitalize on the opportunity.
Brook Lopez (back) did not play Monday in the first half of a back-to-back but could return here. The Bucks will need all hands on deck if they want to take down a tough Raptors team on the road. If he can't go, Robin Lopez would presumably get another start in his place.
Bruce Brown (knee) came away with the injury during Sunday's loss to Portland. Check on his status closer to tipoff. He's been logging heavy minutes due to the Pistons trading away and buying out multiple players over the last few weeks.
Elite Players
Giannis Antetokounmpo ($11,600) comes in as the highest-priced player on the slate, but for good reason. With his massive usage rate (37.5 percent) he'll be heavily relied on to carry the Bucks to a win over a stingy Toronto defense. He went nuclear against the Raptors earlier this season with a 77-fantasy point masterpiece. The mid-range options today aren't very attractive, so rostering the current league MVP feels like a great place to start when building your lineups.
Anthony Davis ($10,300) is a nice alternative if you can't find the salary for the Greek Freak, but ideally finding a way to get both on your roster makes a lot of sense. Davis has averaged 67 fantasy points in two games against the Pelicans this season, and seems to have a little extra motivation when facing his former squad. The Pelicans also play at the third-fastest pace (106.1) in the league, which should give the Kentucky product plenty of opportunities to impose his will.
Expected Chalk and Other Targets
Steven Adams ($6,700) gets a nice matchup here versus a Chicago squad that gives up the second-most fantasy points (42.2) per game to centers. They are also bottom of the league (48.2 percent) in rebounding efficiency and have had a revolving door in the middle. Adams struggled all of January but has since seen his minutes increase while scoring 35 or more fantasy points in each of his last four games.
Jaylen Brown ($6,600) has benefited with Kemba Walker on the shelf, and with the point guard in jeopardy of missing a third straight game, Brown should soak up some extra minutes and usage again. He's poured in almost 40 fantasy points in each of the last two and faces a Blazers team giving up 53 fantasy points per game to shooting guards on the season.
Key Values
Paul Millsap ($5,100) has worked his way back from injury and returned to the starting lineup. His minutes have been trending up, as he's played over 25 in the last two games. The Pistons have been terrible against opposing power forwards all season, allowing 45 fantasy points to the position per game. If he can reach the 30-minute mark, Millsap should crush his modest price tag with ease.
Avery Bradley ($3,300) continues to see solid minutes but can be very streaky at times. He's coming off a bad game against a tough defensive team in the Celtics, but prior to that he'd been hot from behind the arc, shooting close to 60 percent over the prior four games. He gets a nice pace-up spot here against the Pelicans and shouldn't have to do too much to return value if this game stays close.

I didn't think much of it at first. His face was somewhat pale and the ever-present smile had been replaced by a slightly anguished expression. He mentioned he was cold but how could this be? We were in the middle of the hot and humid Cambodian jungle. Maybe it was just exhaustion from a long day of exploring Angkor Wat? I figured if we just rested a while, we'd be OK. Then 💩 happened. Literally. The next few hours were spent assisting him back … [Read more...]

Driving the Denali Highway
During our eight days in Alaska, I don't think we had a single bad view, and the Denali Highway was no exception. The 135 mile, mostly-unpaved road connects the town of Cantwell to Paxson and was once the only road providing access to Denali National Park. Due to harsh winter conditions, the road is closed from October through mid-May, but if you have the opportunity to drive this road during the summer months, it will not disappoint. If you … [Read more...]
Nine Reasons to Visit the Azores Now
Name the group of nine European islands merely four-and-a-half hours from Boston Logan Airport. Stumped? You are not alone. Most of America has never heard of the Azores, couldn't locate them on a map, and wouldn't know what part of Europe claims them as countrymen. For the few who do know of the Atlantic eden 900 miles west of Portugal, this Zion is a cherished gift and a dichotomous burden. On one hand, the beauty and virginal nature of the … [Read more...]
Adventure Matters: Sometimes You Have to Eat It to Save It!
It is fady to kill a lemur. The punishment is ill health, and five years in jail. Madagascar, the planet's fourth-largest island, floats 250 miles off the east coast of Mozambique in the southwest Indian Ocean. The Afro-Indonesian people govern their lives with a series of social taboos, or fadies. And a long-time fady, rooted in the commands of the razana, the Ancestors, is that it is wrong to kill the little button-eyed primates called … [Read more...]
New Haven: Mecca for Revolutionary War Fans
Working as a tour guide in Philadelphia's historic district, I must have become a little Pennsylvania-centric on my view of the American Revolution because I was absolutely stunned when I stumbled upon the Trumbull Room at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut. It was the thrill of unexpectedly running into dear acquaintances while on vacation – the familiar blue and yellow uniform in the painting of my favorite founding … [Read more...]
The American's Guide to Martinique
We decided to go to Martinique purely because we found extremely affordable tickets nonstop from Boston. Norwegian Airlines (yes that is a real airline) now has a direct flight from Boston to Fort de France for $220 which almost sounds too good to be true. Prior to stumbling upon these flights, we knew absolutely nothing about the island, but after our week-long adventure we consider ourselves experts and wish to share our new-found knowledge … [Read more...]

Illinois Improbable: A Story of Upending Expectations
When I was a high-school student in Bethesda, Maryland, and beginning to think about college, my parents sat me down and set a parameter: they would only allow a school within 1000 miles of our home, with the idea that I would be more likely to visit over holidays if within that range. My elder sister had already picked a school, Knox College, in Galesburg, Illinois, and now it was my turn. I pulled out a map, cut a string keyed to 1000 miles, … [Read more...]

Watching for word on a creeping terror
September 13, 2017
I spent the weekend as a vegetable… sort of. Not quite a couch potato—that moniker is usually associated with a television, on which a human is fixated, blaring non-stop while their posterior is parked on some comfortable piece of furniture. I don't have a TV, and I spent much of my vegetative state standing. I was, however, entranced enough to stare at my computer monitor almost all day Saturday and Sunday to watch streaming news—on Hurricane Irma.
It's easy for us to dismiss natural disasters as being far away or having nothing to do with us. Until they do. And then the impact is quite different.
In this case it was my sister, her husband and son, and my 87-year-old mother (b...
