The first grant is for lands to be held by full copyhold tenure – basically an inheritable...

Can Andy Murray Win This Year?
Independent candidate in local election for Riverside ward
Andy Murray is well known to residents for his work in the Grove Park Group and his decision to run as a candidate in the Riverside ward is a logical extension to the work he has been doing as chairman of the GPG, he says.
But can he unseat one of the current three sitting councillors, all of whom are members of the Conservative Party which has a loyal following in the leafy residential area? The current sitting councillors are Paul Lynch, Sam Hearn and Felicity Barwood. In this election next Thursday May 22nd, there are twelve candidates in Riverside ward chasing three seats. All the main political parties are standing and UKIP have also put forward a candidate. You can read about them here.
Riverside is strongly Conservative- in May 2010 Sam Hearn topped the poll with 2,756 votes, closely followed by Felicity Barwood at 2,698, and Paul Lynch at 2,675.
It's a good deal of pressure on a candidate who has no party machine behind him and has to do all his own canvassing after his day-job. But Murray says he is up for the challenge and wouldn't have put his name forward if he hadn't received good feedback about his chances.
In the 2010 local election, there was a high turnout of 60 pc of the electorate, largely due to the fact that it took place on the same day as a general election. A lower turnout is generally expected for this election which makes forecasting any swing vote very difficult.
After the three local Conservatives were elected in 2010, the Liberal Democrats came in fourth place in Riverside ward with the three Labour candidates in fifth, sixth and seventh places. The Green Party candidate, Daniel Goldsmith, who is standing again in 2014, received 1,192 votes. You can read the results of that election here.Andy Murray will be hoping to benefit from any anti-coalition 'protest vote' as well as disaffection from voters who may have been in the Liberal Democrat camp last time due to the popularity of leader Nick Clegg. But can his track record as a hardworking local campaigner pursuade voters to break away from their traditional loyalties?
Murray believes that there is a role for a councillor who represents local residents. He has been involved in a wide range of issues on behalf of the local community, ranging from the controversial new LED street lights, to street paving, the Lionel Road development, the controversial Park Road cpz, licensing issues and Riverside's recycling and rubbish collection. He is also part of the 'Group of 15', a loose collection of local residents' associations who meet to discuss areas of mutual concern.
He says he gets right into the small details of every issue whether it is taking photographs at night to illustrate how bright the new street lights are, or visiting a local recycling area which is a hotspot for 'flytipping', taking photographs to show the Council exactly how the site looks on a daily basis. And he says he spends time pouring over documentation such as the Local Plan - the Council document which deals with development across the borough for the next fifteen years. He also attends the Chiswick Area Forum meeting.
"How many of our local councillors in Chiswick have read the Local Plan I wonder? I'd like to find out," he comments, though he stresses that he has worked in tamdem with local councillors on several issues and is not campaigning against any individuals.
Part of his work with the GPG has also focused on improving 'quality of life' for its residents, beautifying the local area by planting flowers in the old cattle trough near Chiswick rail station.
Andy has lived in Chiswick for over 20 years and is involved in St Michael's Players in his spare time when not attending meetings or at his 'day job' in north London as a marketing consultant in the music business.
"I am not affiliated to any political party, and if elected, would work together with all Councillors, regardless of party, solely on the issues, " he says.

Philadelphia Property Damage Claim Lawyers

Philadelphia Property Damage Claim Lawyers
There is Damage to My Property - Now What?
A person's home is their castle. People want to protect their castle from damage. If you own multiple properties – say a beach condo in Avalon or a cottage in the Poconos – then the potential dangers are multiplied. Add a few cars into the mix and property damage can be very costly. Luckily, there are insurances to cover almost every type of property you may own. Even if you do not own your property, you can obtain renter's insurance to cover any potential losses. You can even acquire insurance for your small, personal property such as expensive cameras, jewelry, and pieces of artwork.
Even if you plan for the worst, sometimes your planning is not enough. Insurances do not always cover 100% of your damage. That is where a good attorney can come in, especially if the damage is not your fault. The experienced property damage lawyers at Freundlich & Littman, LLC are here to stand by your side while you fight for the money you deserve.
Frozen Pipes
Broken pipes, particularly those that have frozen, can cause massive damage to your property. What people do not realize is if they have home insurance they are likely covered for the resulting damages. Often insurance companies will not only try to pay as little as possible for your loss but try to avoid coverage of your claim all together. That is why it is so important to get an experienced lawyer to evaluate the damage and speak on your behalf. At Freundlich & Littman, LLC we work with a team of lawyers and public adjuster who are experts in insurance coverage. Call now and let us maximize your recovery today.
If Someone Else Damages Your Property
In a car accident where another car is involved, make sure to obtain the insurance information of the other person or persons involved. Even if the situation was your fault or you cannot determine fault, take down their information. Give the information to your insurance company. The insurance company will take that information and work with the other insurance company or companies to determine who will pay out the insurance money to cover all the damages. Even if your home is damaged by a car smashing into it, make sure to get their insurance information. Their car insurance company may be able to provide some coverage to you.
If you cannot determine who caused the damage to your property, let your insurance company know that as well. In cases where the damage is a result of a hit and run, make sure to call the police first to see if the driver can be found.
All this information will affect your insurance company's determinations regarding your claim. It will be a challenge collecting from another company without adequate proof of liability. Make sure you keep everything so that you can prove liability for insurance purposes.
Lodging Property Damage Claims with Insurance Companies
After your property is damaged, your first step is to get in touch with your insurance company to file a claim for the damages. You pay money each month and deserve to have the fullest protection for your money.
Once the property damaged is discovered, your next priority is maintaining all the evidence. You do not need to laminate everything or go overboard to preserve everything. Simply take pictures of all the damage. If necessary, call the police. The police will give you a full report for your records (this is especially important if you were in a car accident). Any forms that you sign or fill out in connection with your insurance claim should be kept in your personal records. Keep all documents in a safe place until the insurance claim process is complete.
Your insurance company will ask you to provide your basic demographic information and details about the damage. Especially if the damage is costly, your insurance company will most likely have an insurance adjuster contact you to determine the value of your claim. Be prepared to be asked questions regarding your claim. The insurance adjuster's job is to make sure the insurance company only pays what they are legally obligated to pay for. Insurance companies may also require you to show proof for whatever insurance payouts you feel that you are entitled to receive. Insurance adjusters will try to get you to settle your claim, so never agree to a settlement offer than you are not comfortable with. Do not be fooled, the insurance adjuster is not looking out for your best interests, but is instead looking to save the insurance company the maximum amount of money.
If you feel that you are not getting the full amount that you are entitled to or are unsure if an offer from the insurance adjustor is fair, do not hesitate to contact legal counsel to review your options. Insurance companies have a lot of clout. They have adjusters and attorneys on their side. If you also have someone on your side, it will help the process.
What if the Insurance Company Will Not Pay?
If your insurance company denies your claim, you have options. Usually insurance companies make difficult to speak with representatives and for this reason, it may be burdensome to try to reason with your insurance company. It may be just a small error which caused the denial of benefits. Speaking with an actual representative may help move the case along instead of relying on e-mail communications and forms. But be aware, insurance companies are often recording your statements and will use them against you. In that same vein, make sure that you carefully read any document that an insurance company may be requiring you to sign. If you are not careful, you may be signing away your right to sue!
To help you navigate the complexities of recovering what you are entitled to, contact an attorney straight away. Keep in mind that insurance companies can take a few weeks to process your claim from start to finish. If your insurance company is denying you fair payment of your claim, do not hesitate to seek the best advice available. Contact the property damage lawyers at Freundlich & Littman, LLC today to schedule a free consultation.

Window World Ranks Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Windows and Patio Doors, Says J.D. Power Study
Ordering and Delivery Process Has Greatest Impact on Customer Satisfaction with Windows and Patio Doors Manufacturers
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 14 June 2016 — Window World ranks highest in customer satisfaction with windows and patio doors manufacturers for the third time since 2013, according to the J.D. Power 2016 Windows and Patio Doors Satisfaction Study,SM released today.
Now in its 10th year, the study measures satisfaction among customers who purchased windows and/or patio doors within the past 12 months, based on performance in five factors (in alphabetical order): appearance and design features; operational performance and durability; ordering and delivery; price paid for products and services received; and warranty. Satisfaction is measured on a 1,000-point scale.
According to the Home Improvement Research Institute,[1] consumer spend for windows, skylights or patio doors is expected to increase 6.5% in 2016 to $3.73 billion.
Ordering and Delivery Is Most Important to Customers: The most important factor driving overall customer satisfaction is the ordering and delivery of their windows or patio doors. Among customers whose windows and/or patio doors were delivered the way they were ordered, satisfaction is significantly higher than among those whose delivery was not received as ordered (826 vs. 713, respectively).
Timeliness of Delivery Impacts Satisfaction: Satisfaction is significantly higher among customers whose windows and/or patio doors were delivered on the date promised than among those whose delivery did not arrive on the promised date (829 vs. 729, respectively). Additionally, satisfaction is significantly higher among customers who received all windows and/or patio doors ordered than among those who did not receive all windows and/or patio doors ordered (820 vs. 720, respectively).
Customers Want Efficient, Clean and Damage-Free Installation: Satisfaction is significantly higher among customers whose windows and patio doors were installed in a timely manner than among those whose were not (818 vs. 679, respectively). Satisfaction is also higher among customers whose windows and patio doors were not damaged during installation than among those whose were damaged (809 vs. 779, respectively). Among customers whose installer left the area clean, satisfaction is notably higher than among those with no cleanup (815 vs. 728, respectively).
"Purchasing windows or patio doors can be a very expensive, highly emotional and disruptive process for customers," said Greg Truex, senior director of the at-home practice at J.D. Power. "They expect their windows or patio doors to be delivered when promised, arrive damage free, installed without hassle and their home left clean. Manufacturers, their retail network and installation professionals that focus on the total experience and manage expectations through frequent communication rather than just one of these performance steps individually are more likely to highly satisfy customers, which can lead to greater recommendations and brand loyalty."
Window and Patio Door Satisfaction Rankings
- Window World (841) ranks highest in customer satisfaction among window and patio door brands and performs particularly well in warranty.
- Renewal by Andersen (832) ranks second, followed by American Craftsman (825).
- Overall satisfaction with windows and patio doors is 811, up from 803 in 2015.
Following are some of the findings of the 2016 study:
- Influential Sources of Information and Reasons for Purchase: The most influential sources of information for windows and patio doors shoppers include the recommendation from a professional (19%), followed by their past experience (13%) and the in-store product display (12%). The top reasons for selecting a particular brand are best value for budget (14%); recommendation from a professional (12%); and the quality of construction/workmanship (10%).
- Window Replacements Mostly First-Time Buyers: Nearly three-fourths (70%) of purchases are for window replacements, compared with 21% for a remodel and 5% for new construction. Satisfaction is highest among replacement customers. More than one-half (59%) of the study's respondents are first-time windows and patio doors buyers. For the remaining 41% of respondents, it has been seven years, on average, since their last purchase.
- Satisfaction Drives Loyalty: Among delighted customers (overall satisfaction scores of 901 and above), 73% say they "definitely will" repurchase the brand, compared with the study average of 36%. Additionally, 76% of delighted windows and patio doors customers say they "definitely will" recommend the brand to others, compared with the study average of 40%.
- Delightful Experience Influences Recommendations: Among delighted customers, the average number of positive recommendations is 5.6, compared with the study average of 3.8.
The 2016 Windows and Patio Doors Satisfaction Study is based on survey responses from 2,628 customers who purchased windows or patio doors within the previous 12 months. The study was fielded in January through March 2016.

We are living through a period of an explosion of music–captured and shaped with the help of computers–shared online in a quarantine-accelerated media environment. Though it seems like every day there is some new application of technology in music (as well as dozens of "Hollywood Squares/Bradybunch" videos), the history of technology and music goes back to the very beginning of human musical expression–perhaps before spoken language, itself.
Join LCCMF Resident Composer David Serkin Ludwig in a presentation on the fascinating and inextricably linked history of music and technology. We will explore how the intersection of world-class musical performance with today's technology is transforming both the teaching of music and the concert experience, itself.

Atlanta police Chief Erika Shields said she is "disappointed" that police commanders closed two gay bars early during Black Gay Pride and she reassigned the lieutenant who ignored the protests of bar owners and shut down the businesses anyway.
"I'm disappointed with the decision by the Zone 5 morning watch commander to force four gay bars/restaurants in Midtown to close two hours early during Black Gay Pride weekend," Shields said in a statement issued late Wednesday.
Shields' public statement on the incident came as the police department tries to quiet a flap that has mushroomed since early Monday. That's when officers and paddy wagons arrived at 10th Street and Piedmont Avenue concerned about large crowds at the intersection. As owners of Blake's and Ten tried to explain to officers and commanders that a city ordinance allowed them to remain open past the usual 12:30 a.m. closing time, they were ordered to close.
That ignited a controversy and claims that the action was motivated by racism and homophobia.
Atlanta police have called the incident an "honest mistake" and pointed out that the commander who ordered the bars closed is gay and so is his boss, Major Darin Schierbaum, the newly-appointed Zone 5 commander. On Wednesday, Shields – who was promoted to chief in December and later came out as gay – announced that she reassigned the commander.
"There are several steps the morning watch commander could have taken to further investigate the concerns bar owners expressed that they had permission to stay open until 2:30 a.m. Those steps were not taken. As a result, I have made the decision to move this commander to another duty in another zone," Shields said.
The city's top cop also said she is "disappointed" with the chain of decisions by police supervisors that led to the closure of the gay bars and two other venues – G's and 10th & Piedmont. Shields said the agency must improve communication between its command staff and supervisors on the streets.
"We also must ensure that vital communications about matters such as extended bar hours are properly relayed to zone supervisors expected to enforce such ordinances," Shields said.
Shields said that the incident was not prompted by racism or homophobia, but said it could have left that perception with the public.
"While I do not believe the commander purposely set out to act in a discriminatory manner, his actions certainly gave that perception to bar owners, managers and patrons. Our commanders and officers simply must show more sensitivity to the concerns of our diverse communities," Shields said.
Shields said the agency worked quickly to address the controversy, an approach that Shields has used in other matters since taking the helm of the department.
"The diversity of its people is one of the City of Atlanta's greatest strengths. Any perception that the Atlanta Police Department does not respect, and celebrate, that diversity must be dealt with swiftly," Shields said.
The bar owners forced to close were furious about the incident and the refusal of commanders to reconsider their decision when they showed them the ordinance allowing them to stay open until 2:30 a.m. James Nelson, the owner of Ten, said the incident was a case of discrimination and pointed to non-LGBT bars around Piedmont Park that were allowed to remain open.
"There were probably 400 African-American gay men and women standing on the sidewalks in front of G's and 10th & Piedmont and the Blake's parking lot. They clearly wanted to shut that down," Nelson said. "I've been in business far too long and i know what happened on Sunday night."
"This was clear, this was racially motivated and discrimination. We are the only businesses that were shut down in the entire city," he added.
Cathy Woolard – the first openly LGBT elected official in Georgia and a candidate for Atlanta mayoral – blasted the early closures. In a statement issued Tuesday, Woolard also said it's "difficult not to interpret the action as discriminatory against the LGBTQ community."
City Council member Mary Norwood, who is also running for mayor, said she was "dismayed" by the incident. City Council member Alex Wan, the council's only openly LGBT member, called the incident disappointing. Wan is running for City Council president.
Other candidates have also weighed in on the controversy. Via the AJC:
Atlanta City Councilwoman Felicia Moore, council president candidate: "I spoke personally with APD's Chief Shields this morning and again this afternoon about my anger at independent businesses being forced to close early — especially on Black Gay Pride weekend. Chief Shields and APD report there will be new deployment and communication procedures put in place ASAP, hopefully ensuring this will not happen again. Unfortunately these conversations are happening too late for our guests that were here last weekend, so I am extremely focused on making sure that APD and the rest of the city has the tools they need to ensure the upcoming pride weekend in October happens as smoothly as possible."
Former city of Atlanta COO Peter Aman, mayoral candidate: I am very disappointed in the actions of the APD personnel that forced these businesses to close. I really want to have a culture that has a sense of urgency and customer service. We need to make sure people are not only properly trained, but follow protocol.

Danny and Harry – Private Detectives #5
"In a Hail of Bullets." Chapter 5 in the continuing saga of "The Case of the Missing Trunk."
As the title suggests, things get pretty rough in this one, folks. We can't say who exactly is on the receiving end of all these bullets, but they are deserving targets, for sure. And just in case you thought you'd never see anything as creepy as Wilber (whatever he was), wait until you get a look at Razor. We're not sure what he is, either. And, oh yeah — Danny and Harry are in the mix, too. And Pearl. And Butcher Cain, Rat, Alfred, and Max. When Pearl goes back underground to confront Cain, you're treated to some of the nicest looking artwork you've ever seen in a crime comic — or any kind of comic, for that matter.

More than two years after being abandoned in a Cannon Beach hotel room, bleeding from razor-blade cuts to her throat and wrists, Alana Smith, 15, entered a courtroom Thursday and laid eyes on her mother for the first time since the attack.
The teenager was sitting as Jessica Smith, 42, wearing a gray-striped jail jumpsuit, glanced back at her briefly. She was awaiting her mother's sentencing, squeezed between her father and aunt in the back row of a Clatsop County courtroom, with her paternal grandparents nearby.
The girl dabbed a tissue to her eyes after a video montage played of her smiling, chubby-cheeked younger sister, Isabella -- drowned by their mother during their brief beach getaway in the summer of 2014. The clips showed her blue-eyed, 2-year-old sister playing barefoot in a sundress and hat on Cannon Beach with an accompanying song that concluded with the lyrics: "Just you and me love, we are almost home.''
Multnomah County Circuit Judge Julie E. Frantz sentenced Smith to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years.
The "horrific and inconceivable nature'' of Smith's crimes - the drugging and killing of her toddler daughter and attempted murder of her then 13-year-old daughter -- appeared inconsistent with her past, the judge said.
"This is without question a profoundly tragic case in which the unthinkable has occurred,'' Frantz told Smith. "I hope all may continue to heal and go forward with your lives as best as you can.''
Clatsop County District Attorney Josh Marquis said Jessica Smith "planned the execution'' of her two daughters and left a handwritten note behind on hotel stationery that read, "We've decided to opt out of life.''
What apparently "set her off'' was a court-ordered, one-day visitation day that her estranged husband was set to have with the girls, the prosecutor said. The horrid homicide scene drew national attention to the small beach town during the height of the tourist season.
Smith last week entered Alford guilty pleas to aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder charges about a month after a judge found her mentally competent to stand trial. In an Alford plea, defendants assert their innocence but admit sufficient evidence exists to find them guilty.

Document: Transcript of Jessica Smith's interviews with law enforcement
In the written plea petition, Smith said she accepted the evidence and the plea deal, "wishing to avoid additional stress and harm to Alana Smith, my family and myself.''
Smith declined to speak in court, but nodded briefly when the judge spoke.
Her ex-husband, Gregory Smith, spoke instead. Unsure what he could say that would reach his former wife, he decided instead to focus on what inspires him, he said.
He sat down between the two prosecutors in the case and turned toward the defense table where Jessica Smith sat. She looked away.
"Sweet Isabella will forever stay in my mind, frozen at that innocent age of 2,'' he said. "My hope is that I can, and we all can, soak up some of her spirit and be inspired by her short yet meaningful life. Maybe then a little bit of her lives in us.''
He called his surviving daughter, Alana, "the best thing in my life.''
"I'm also greatly inspired by my daughter, Alana, who taught Isabella from her own deep well of sweetness,'' he said. "She's truly a treasure and is the most sincere human I know.''
Alana, who had been home-schooled when she was living with her mother, is now living with her father and will be starting 10th grade in school in Washington.
"I'm proud to witness Alana's discovery of a world that has the potential for love, friendship and possibility,'' Gregory Smith said.
He thanked the emergency responders, law enforcement officers, therapists, hospital workers, prosecutors and family and friends for their support.
"Our life stories diverge from this point forward,'' Gregory Smith told his ex-wife. "I'm looking forward to joy and peace in the future. I wish you peace in your path as well.''
The sentencing ended a series of unusually tense pretrial hearings as Jessica Smith's lawyers initially suggested their client suffered from a mental "implosion." She was later sent for evaluation to the Oregon State Hospital after a suicide attempt in jail.
Under the plea agreement, Smith faces life in prison with a minimum sentence of 30 years in prison for the aggravated murder count, plus a consecutive 10 years for the attempted aggravated murder charge. She waived her right to any appeals.
Jessica Smith had checked into the Surfsand Resort on July 29, 2014, and was scheduled to stay three nights, leaving Aug. 1.
Instead, she fled Room 3302 early Aug. 1, leaving her two children behind. She had drugged and drowned Isabella and then placed over-the-counter dental gel on Alana's neck before slashing her, police said.
"She intended for them to die,'' Marquis said, and had tried to get Alana "to bleed out quicker.'' The older daughter told investigators that her mother had her lie on the floor and yelled at her, angry that it wasn't occurring fast enough, Marquis said.
Jessica Smith also insisted that Alana bolt the lock to the room's front door as she left, the prosecutor said.
About 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 1, housekeepers used a master key to enter the room, having heard someone inside slipping and falling. When they opened the door, a voice told them to go away, according to prosecutors' reports. The staff called 911, drawing the Cannon Beach police chief and assistant fire chief about 10 minutes later.
Police Chief Jason Schermerhorn found the lifeless, clothed body of Isabella on a king-sized bed, the white sheets beside her stained with blood. He said Alana appeared "ghostlike'' under a sheet on the bed, bleeding profusely. She was airlifted by Life Flight helicopter to a Portland hospital.
Two days later, a member of a U.S. Coast Guard crew flying in a MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter spotted their mother's gold Suburban on a logging road, about 13 miles east of Cannon Beach off U.S. 26. The crew was heading back about 6 p.m. to their Warrenton base when they saw the SUV.
Smith, found in the woods beside her car wearing makeup, was described as cooperative when taken into custody. She confessed to the crimes during a four- to five-hour videotaped interview that night at Seaside Police Department. FBI special agent Denise Biehn, Cannon Beach Lt. Chris Wilbur and Clatsop County Sheriff's Det. Ryan Humphrey interviewed her.
She described how a fun beach trip with her daughters turned stressful after she received a call from her estranged husband's lawyer telling her to return the children. She was expected to hand the children over to their father for visitation at 9 a.m. on the day the children were discovered.
"To me, when it was all happening, it was actually not like a feeling of maliciousness or anything else but saving someone,'' Jessica Smith said, crying as she initially spoke with the FBI agent, according to an interview transcript. "I had this horrible life and I was trying to get out. I just wanted to be free.''
The Smiths had separated in April 2014. Gregory Smith, of Goldendale, Wash., then filed for divorce from Jessica Smith in June 2014 and sought shared custody of their two children.
Less than two weeks before the Cannon Beach trip, he had sought a custody evaluation. He also had a temporary restraining order against Jessica Smith, fearing she'd leave the state and he wouldn't see his daughters again.
The mother claimed that she and her girls were terrified of her husband and that their older daughter said she would rather die than go back to live with him. Smith described herself as a "good person who's been mistreated.''
In her note left in the hotel room, Smith claimed Alana "chose opening her veins,'' and that she was going to do the same to herself "but didn't have the strength, after assisting Alana.''
She wrote that if Alana was found alive, she wanted to live with her maternal grandmother.
"I feel absolutely terrible for having things come to this, and hope I never return to this Earth, after I die,'' Smith wrote. She included a colored drawing of herself on the note.
Isabella Smith died of asphyxiation by drowning after she was heavily sedated with an over-the-counter antihistamine, the state medical examiner ruled. Alana Smith suffered cuts to her neck and wrists and told medics that her mother had slit her throat and wrists, according to court documents.
On video, Jessica Smith said the 2-year-old "just fell asleep, peacefully, and went into the water and was gone.''
"The intention was to drown her...to end her misery,'' the mother was recorded saying.
The FBI agent asked her what the hardest part had been.
"Just thinking about how, how terror ... terrorized I felt that I would do that,'' Jessica Smith told her during an interview on the night of her arrest. "It's unthinkable. It's horrific. I'm inconsolably sad. ... I loved my child.''
At the end of Thursday's hearing, two Clatsop County sheriff's deputies led Jessica Smith from the courtroom, her hands cuffed and linked to a chain around her waist. She avoided eye contact with her surviving child or other relatives.

Summer Vacation Simplified
Family vacations are the fuel for "what I did over summer break" essays, the content that fills photo albums and picture frames, and the moments that create lifelong memories, but they also take a lot of preparation and planning to ensure those memories are happy ones. Family holidays can easily become stressful and overwhelming, which cancels out the whole point of a vacation. Skip the stress altogether with a little bit of planning and a helping hand from a handful of local pros.
Step One to a Successful Family Vacation: All About Accommodation. Don't spend the entire week crankily cramped in a tiny hotel room sharing a bed with a turbulent two-year-old suffering from night terrors. The suites at Sooke Harbour Resort and Marina offer separate bedrooms, a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, a living room, in-suite laundry, and more. Gone are the days of over-spending on eating out and packing a week's worth of dirty laundry to haul home. Our resort provides the perfect home-away-from-home-base for a comfortable, luxurious travelling experience.
Step Two: What To Do. When you're on the island, do as the islanders do. Head to the ocean. Sooke Harbour Resort and True Key has partnered with a number of companies to help guests fill their vacation with fun-filled family activities on the open ocean.
Not sure where to start? Adventures by H.I.P. offers a number of options for families and groups looking to test the waters. H.I.P. offers a selection of tours perfect for people of all ages and groups of all sizes. Their routes are geared toward ocean wildlife exploration and sightings of humpback whales, orcas, dolphins, sea otters, sea lions, seals, and more.
Back on shore (almost) and conveniently located at Sooke Harbour Resort and Marina, guests can explore H.I.P.'s Floating Art Gallery, which displays a range of images and artwork that capture the breathtaking natural beauty of Vancouver Island.
Ready to take the plunge? Check out West Coast Outdoor Adventures and Tours for a range of guided kayak and paddleboard tours, perfect for beginners and great for older children and teenagers. Depending on the tour, lunch or snacks may be included, so you and your loved ones can spend the entire day on the ocean without a care in the world (except keeping an eye out for sleeping otters and not tipping over). Kayak and paddleboard rentals are also available for those looking to conduct some self-guided exploration.
Skip after-dinner boredom and set sail with True Key Adventures for an evening harbour tour to soak in the beauty and history of the area. Enjoy the comfort of a private vessel with a fully-equipped bathroom and a stereo to set the scene with some musical ambience. Passengers can take in the sights and watch for wildlife as one of our knowledgeable guides shares local First Nations history, the role of the logging industry, and explains the balance between the ecosystem, the aquaculture, and the crucial impact of Sooke's salmon. Both exciting and educational, the tour is a fantastic way to infuse a little bit of learning into the space between the school years.
After so much ocean exploration, spend the day (slightly above) dry land at AdrenaLINE Zipline Adventures. Tour Vancouver Island by air through over a hundred acres of coastal temperate rainforest, seeing the island from a bird's eye view. AdrenaLINE also offers a rainforest hiking tour, or a combination of both for an entire day of fun-filled forest frolicking, sure to be a crowd-pleaser no matter how tough the crowd.
At Sooke Harbour Resort, we know planning can be a pain; let us help. Our Guest Services Agents can assist in booking a range of activities and events for your family, so all you have to do is show up. It's summer vacation made simple – Sooke-style. Book your summer vacation now!

The Wings took their .500 road record into Vancouver to clash with the Canucks on Thursday night hoping to get on the right side of that number. Meanwhile, the Canucks were coming off an overtime victory against the Blackhawks and sat three points behind Detroit with a game still in hand. By the end of the affair, Detroit would extend their lead over the rest of the West by posting a 4-3 shootout victory in BC.
The game started out all Red Wings, as they got two breakaway chances in the first five minutes (and three for the period). Unfortunately, the Canucks brought the good Roberto Luongo to play. Still, Good Roberto wasn't able to stop a shot from Danny Cleary stepping into the middle and firing it around a perfect Darren Helm screen job in front. After the first half of the period went and Henrik Zetterberg took a penalty for holding Henrik Sedin's stick, Vancouver was able to regain momentum and tie it up on a Ryan Kesler shot granted by a very good forechecking job from David Booth behind the net.
Detroit dominated play in the second period, outshooting Vancouver 15-3. The BC Crowd was frustrated enough to give their own team a bit of a derisive cheer when the Canucks were able to put their first shot on net at the 12:09 mark. Not long after that, Jiri Hudler broke the tie on a cross-ice pass from Valtteri Filppula that he slapped over Luongo.
Vancouver came out the aggressor in the third period, doing a much better job at slowing down the Detroit rush and breaking their constant transition. Midway through the period, the Vancouver forecheck converged on Drew Miller as he tried to exit his own zone, creating a turnover and the tying goal off the stick of Alex "bite me" Burrows. Less than two minutes later, Miller would make amends for his goof by again regaining the lead for the Wings while cleaning up some garbage out front. Detroit tried to maintain the one-goal advantage, but surrendered a Mason Raymond goal off a deflection with less than five minutes to go in the period.
OT was Red Wings OT; Franzen decided he actually wanted to play, but the Wings were very cautious about the counterattack and never quite got the right combination of people moving in the zone to create the game-winner. Pavel Datsyuk, Jiri Hudler, and Jimmy Howard combined to troll Todd Bertuzzi on his birthday by ensuring he wouldn't get a chance in the shootout with a 2-0 Jenga victory.
Jump for bullets
- Man, I hate Good Luongo. It's so much easier to make fun of him when he's not stopping 40 shots and all of your non-skills-competition 1-on-1 attempts. The guy had a hell of a game. On the other end, Jimmy played well, but he wasn't tested nearly as much. What matters is that Howard continues to hold the league lead in wins and isn't fighting with his backup to win back the support of his own fans.
- Bertuzzi looked more physically engaged and didn't take a dumb penalty in this one. He did beat up on Keith Ballard, but the fight was in response to Ballard doing what was essentially hockey's version of a hip-check chop block. Ballard wasn't low enough to hit the knees, but it's a shitty way to eliminate a guy who's already battling one of your teammates on the boards.
- Despite Bert looking good, he was a -1 on the night, as the Bertuzzi-Datsyuk-Franzen line were generally outplayed by Ryan Kesler's line. I felt that Johan Franzen got a lot of unfair criticism for his play in Calgary, but I'm jumping on their bandwagon after this one. He played like a hemophiliac bull in a china shop.
- Jakub Kindl played 11:06 and did a decent job holding his own with and against the lower line matchups. I hope that gives him back some confidence as he battles for the #6 spot against Mike Commodore. I'm still leaning toward wanting Commie in the lineup more, but the harder this choice is, the better (well, unless they both start sucking, but shut up).
- Do I have to mention the power play?
- Valtteri Filppula has reached his career-high in points scored. He's still on pace to hit mid-60s. He did this by feeding Jiri Hudler his 17th goal of the season, which keeps him on pace for a career year in goals. Henrik Zetterberg was tied in this game for goals scored by Drew Miller and continues to put up big, tough minutes without seeing anything show up on the scoreboard for his hard work. You all wish you could be doing as well as Zetterberg during what is a slump.
- Sorry for the site issues last night. Those responsible have been sacked and their sisters bit by møøses
- CSSI will be up on Saturday for this one.

To the power brokers who determine which ads are approved for the Super Bowl, drag queens, social justice warriors and gun control advocates are not at all controversial. Organizations seeking permission to run pro-life ads on Super Sunday are unacceptable, however.
During this Sunday's Super Bowl broadcast, Fox will air ads featuring former RuPaul program drag queens, NFL social justice warriors and presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg's gun control spot. The network is thumbing its nose at the Faces of Choice organization and its request to air an ad with a pro-life message.
Faces of Choice officials have been trying unsuccessfully for more than six months to purchase ad time during the Super Bowl, but have received no response from Fox Sports. The ad features more than a dozen abortion survivors and debuted at last week's March for Life in Washington, D.C.
Lyric Gillett, the founder of Faces of Choice and producer of the ad (see longer 2-minute version below), said, "Every great human rights movement in history has been anchored in the stories and the faces of its victims. That's what we aim to do; we simply want to tell their forgotten stories and there's no larger mega-phone than the Super Bowl. …"
Follow LifeNews.com on Instagram for pro-life pictures and videos.
If those abortion survivors had been drag queens, they might have been given a better chance of telling their stories on Super Sunday. Kim Chi and Miz Cracker (seen above in photo), who previously appeared on the TV program "RuPaul's Drag Race," will appear in a commercial for hummus brand Sabra during the Super Bowl.
NBC reporter Liam Knox calls the drag queen ad "a barrier-breaking debut during one of the year's most watched sporting events." Bob Witeck, a marketing strategist who specializes in LGBTQ messaging, calls the drag ad "revolutionary":
"For queer audiences, it is an art form and an 'outsiders' language. Reaching the Super Bowl means taking our language into every home in the nation and millions around the world."
Witeck said the drag queen ad will reach nearly 100 million viewers during the Super Bowl and is indicative of a sea change in the public perception of drag. It's already been normalized for several years by the RuPaul program. Witeck says:
"The Super Bowl is the ultimate test, when you can take chances like this and realize that the fear of drag is nothing people imagined it to be. It's us telling our own joke about ourselves, with a sense of humor and authenticity … with luck, everyone laughs with us."
CNN Business reports the NFL "is wading back into controversial territory with a new Super Bowl ad addressing police shootings of black Americans." Its 30-second ad will feature retired wide receiver Anquan Boldin re-enacting the 2015 police shooting death of his late cousin, Corey Jones. The police officer was sentenced to 25 years of prison.
Boldin formerly played with quarterback Colin Kaepernick on the San Francisco 49ers team when the latter staged his season of protest over racial inequality in 2016. This ad is a promotion for the league's Inspire Change initiative, a program created to address athletes' social justice causes in their home communities, writes CNN's Chauncey Alcorn.
Patrick Yoes, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, which represents 800,000 officers across the United States, said the Boldin ad mischaracterizes how police typically interact with their communities.
Finally, former New York City mayor and current presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg is also airing a controversial ad during the Super Bowl. It will focus on Calandrian Simpson Kemp, whose son was the victim of gun violence. Bloomberg will boast of his record of fighting gun violence and his campaign pledges to pursue gun control.

Globally, nearly 550 customers have taken advantage of the program, with more than 30 customers in Asia Pacific, of which six were in the first quarter of 2007 alone. One of these customers, India's leading tire manufacturing company, MRF Limited, was drawn to replace existing applications from Oracle in favour of SAP's leading SAP ERP and SAP™ CRM solutions, based on the SAP NetWeaver platform. (see separate SAP India release) MRF found the SAP solutions would provide superior visibility of their entire operations and the flexibility to respond to dynamic markets. MRF provides yet another example of the Safe Passage program's ability to provide companies with a proven and affordable road map to protect their current investments and to begin the process of innovating their businesses today.
Another forward-thinking Safe Passage customer making the decision to migrate from Oracle to SAP solutions in Q1 was Philippines-headquartered leading milk producer, Alaska Milk Corporation. "In order to further expand our leadership in the milk industry, we needed a solution that was built on a proven open and flexible platform. We also wanted to provide our distributors with solutions that would meet their needs, while still seamlessly interfacing with our enterprise systems. SAP ERP on SAP NetWeaver and SAP® Business One meet these criteria. After an extensive evaluation, we felt it was the right decision to move from our legacy client server-based Oracle technology to service-enabled SAP solutions," said Wilfred Steven Uytengsu, President and Chief Operating Officer of Alaska Milk Corporation.

† Based on software and software related service revenues on a rolling four quarter basis, SAP's worldwide share of Core Enterprise Applications vendors, which account for approximately $34.8 billion in software and software related service revenues as defined by the Company based on industry analyst research, increased to 25.1% for the four quarter period ended March 31, 2007 compared to 24.5% for the four quarter period ended December 31, 2006. Compared to the four quarter period ended March 31, 2006, the year-over-year share gain was 2.4 percentage points.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, the Company began using software and software related service revenues for defining Core Enterprise Application Vendor Share because the Company believes that this is the most important indicator for vendor share oriented analysis with the realignment of its income statement structure. Prior to the first quarter of 2007, the Company had been using software revenues for defining Core Enterprise Application Vendor Share.
The Company provides share data based on the vendors of Core Enterprise Applications solutions, which account for approximately $34.8 billion in software and software related service revenues as defined by the Company based on industry analyst research. For 2007, industry analysts project approximately 7% year-on-year growth for core Enterprise Applications vendors. For its quarterly share calculation, SAP assumes that this approximate 7% growth will not be linear throughout the year. Instead, quarterly adjustments are made based on the financial performance of a sub set (approximately 25) of Core Enterprise Application vendors.

God in His infinite wisdom has ordered us not to overindulge, to live within our means and to be fair and compassionate to each other.
Perhaps one of the most important prohibitions in the Jewish Bible (Exodus: Chapter 22, and Verses 24 – 26), The Christian Bible (Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:35-37, Deuteronomy 23:19-20, Nehemiah 5: 1-13, Psalm 15, Proverbs 28: 8, Ezekiel 18:5-18, Habakkuk 2:6-7, Luke 6:27-36) and the Qur'aan (Chapter II – Al-Baqarah 275-278, Chapter III – Alee Imraan – The Family of Mary & Jesus:3:130, Chapter IV – An-Nisaa (Women):4:161, Chapter XXX – Ar-Rum (The Romans) 30:39) is the prohibition of Ribit (Old Testament) or Riba (the Qur'aan.)
We know from the original Jewish teachings that a person of the Jewish faith who participates in Ribit cannot stand as a witness in a Jewish court and in the old Catholic teachings (before 1100 AD) that a person who deals in Ribit is denied a Catholic burial and in the Qur'aan charging of Ribit/Riba is one of the most severe offenses against God and all of God's creations.
The big question is what is Ribit/Riba? According to Judaic, Christian and Muslim teachings – what I call the Judeo-Christian-Islamic values of good God loving citizenship – can be defined as the act of renting money at a price called "interest."
In fact, in the old days the word USURY was derived from the act of paying a price (interest) for the use of money. We also know that today's money is a "thing;" it is a man-made currency.
It is "fungible" like an apple. Because one cannot rent an apple from another, the same can apply to money.
The minute money is handed over to another person it becomes his/her responsibility to invest it prudently and it is the responsibility of those who give it in trust (the bankers) to users (borrowers) to invest it prudently.
That is why the culture of spend as much as you can today by renting money from the credit cards and by using your home as a credit card is a culture that is frowned upon by all faiths, especially in the Judeo-Christian-Islamic value system.
Money is a measuring device that measures the success or failure of an investment. It is not for hire or rent to the highest bidder (at the highest rate.) If we had evaluated the purchase of each item based on its utility as measured by its actual market rent (rent of a car, a house or a business) we would have been saved from speculation and the from deep holes of debt many of our community members and our beloved America and the world are suffering from.
That is why Jesus took it upon himself to drive the "money changers" out of the temple.
A final point I want to bring to the attention of all of God-loving people: We need not overindulge. We need to live within our means, to stop over-borrowing, to save for a rainy day 10 cents of every dollar we earn, not to panic and sell our stock portfolios "low," not to invest in the stock market if one were old (the formula I recommend is to subtract your age from your family's life expectancy – for example if your family's life expectancy is 75 and you are 65 years of age, the maximum exposure to investing in stock should be 75 minus 65 or 10 percent) and to strictly advise our children to stop taking excessive student loans to live it up.
It is better for a student to graduate in six years with a part-time job and no debt than graduating in four years with a $120,000 debt in student loans.
We need to help each other, to buy within our communities, to reinvest in our communities and to do business with our local community banks and credit unions.
We all know what the "big" boys with the "big" bank names did with our trust. We need to help the elderly who were forced to take a 70 percent income cut because the interest rates on CDs were cut from 5 percent to 2 percent in order to help the "big" boys who speculated and gambled with our trust get their act together.
I sincerely pray that the elderly Americans who live on Social Security and the few dollars they get from that reduced "interest" on their small savings will be saved and will be taken care of.
After all, they are the ones who built America.

golang and gitlab ci
• general
This is a quick writeup of how to set up a simple ci pipeline for a
go project on gitlab using golang's 1.11 modules.
The why
I was working on an Alexa Skill written in go and in fact did my first steps in go. I am still a noob when it comes to the go-world, so I googled on how to set up continuous integration for a go project…
Turns out using go in a CI Job was not as easy as I thought. Let's see what different approaches the top hits on the google search for 'golang gitlab ci' propose:
- about.gitlab.com/2017/11/27/go-tools-and-gitlab-how-to-do-continuous-integration-like-a-boss
- ✅ shows usage of lots of nice tools: code coverage, linter …
- ⛔ uses crude bash scripts
- ⛔ uses copy-code-to-gopath hack (read below)
- ⛔ spreads wrong information: my rant tweet
- ⛔ pretty sad for an official blog post by gitlab itself
- blog.boatswain.io/post/build-go-project-with-gitlab-ci
- ✅ short and sweet read
- ⛔ uses 3rd party tool glide
- ⛔ same old copy-code-to-gopath hack like the rest of the bunch
- blog.netways.de/2018/06/07/continuous-integration-with-golang-and-gitlab
- ✅ the tool dep feels more official being part of go
- ⛔ still dep does not ship with go
- ⛔ same old copy-code-to-gopath hack like the rest of the bunch
A single workspace
As you can see it does not turn out to be an easy topic. Most hassle in this area comes from go having this concept of a workspace. Workspaces were a design decision that go took on day 1. They enforce a certain mindset on you: All go projects have to live in a central folder on your hard drive (including the downloaded dependencies). This is for some (or most) a very unnatural way of structuring their projects. It also comes with lots of strings attached: Like CI jobs copying their code on the fly into the $HOME/go folder to build and resolve 🤢.
I am not an early adopter (lucky me 🥳) and go was working on this already. This years release 1.11 comes with a first version of module support: golang modules
Modules allow you to have your projects independently structured much like most of the third party package managers eg. glide/dep. Since this concept is so new, most of the online sources do not mention it as being an easy alternative to build go projects yet, hence my post here.
The setup with modules
Lets look at our source code: go files' import-statements act as depdencies right away, some of them can be renamed to protect name collisions. go deeply connects to git using git repos as the definition of a dependency:
package main
import (
awssession "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
alexa "github.com/ericdaugherty/alexa-skills-kit-golang"
To initialise go modules in your project ('alexa-prost' being my project name here) simply run:
go mod init alexa-prost
This generates a
go.mod file looking like this:
module alexa-prost
require (
github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go v1.8.0
github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go v1.15.90
github.com/ericdaugherty/alexa-skills-kit-golang v0.0.0-20181003210505-70580a479839
This file contains the versions of the dependencies that were downloaded. These versions enable a reliable deterministic build that can be reproduced everywhere.
Now this allows us to leave our repository wherever we want and makes our gitlab-ci script super simple:
image: golang:1.11
- go test
The caveats
- 👎 mod is not final - We are using a very early feature of go here and it might change and contain bugs.
- 👎 gitlab ci caching not supported - if you want to use gitlab-ci's caching, you still need to use the same ol' copy-around trick.
Regarding gitlab CI caching
Even with go 1.11's modules the dependencies will live in the
$GOPATH - so no
node_modules-like folder in your project's path.
This can still be solved a little more elegantly than copying your project code around. Since you just want to cache the dependencies, we copy those around which is less verbose:
image: golang:1.11
- .cache
- mkdir -p .cache
- export GOPATH="$CI_PROJECT_DIR/.cache"
- make test
Note: My OCD felt better once I had caching of dependencies working - but the build still was not faster. That might be due to it currently being too small to be limited by the dependency download/build process.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a Red 2000 Corvette with 4,900 miles on it from Joe. I owned a few in the past and was looking for that special car. I visited the Keystone Corvettes website and spoke with Joe a few times. He made me feel like I could trust him. I'm very picky and integrity to me is everything. Joe did not disappoint. The car was spotless, not a mark on it inside or out. I love it! I would recommend to anyone looking for a Corvette to give Joe a call. You will not regret it! Thanks for everything Joe!

Chorokhy Adjaratskali 6-year river basin management plan was presented at the "Sheraton" In Batumi, Georgia. The meeting was organiased by the EU funded porject "Environmental Protection of International Rivers Basins". One of the specific objectives of the Project is to improve technical capacities by developing river basin management plans (RBMPs) in selected pilot river basins, according to the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). One of the selected pilot basins is the Chorokhi-Adjaristskali basin, located in the Adjara Autonomous Republic and covering a significant part of its territory.
The River Basin Management Plan for Chorokhi Adjaristkali River Basin was developed within the framework of the EPIRB Project. Comments on the draft RBMP will be collected by Water Resources Management Service of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Protection of Georgia. It is envisaged that the Plan will be finalised and submitted for Government adoption in early September 2015.
What are the threats facing the river Adjaristsqali
Use of the water for generating the hydro-electric puwer, exracting the sand and grave from the basins, discharge of the untreated or inadequately treated wastewater from sewerage systems in the Adjaristskali basin, these are the main factors that negatively affect the quality of the water resources. Chorokhy Adjaratskali 6-year river basin management plan was presented at the "Sheraton". The plan aims to minimise the negative impact on the rivers

Crist: Relationships key to preventing teen drug use
Dear Gary: I have a nephew who lives in another state. We had a family reunion recently, and I found out he got caught getting high from a can of air that is used to clean computer keyboards. I didn't even know one could get a high from stuff like that. I recently read an article that talked about the various drugs and substances teens use. When I was young, we had alcohol and some of the big cities had heroin addicts. Do you have any idea what is going on with this generation and their need to get high on everything they can get their hands on?
— Flabbergasted Aunt in Utah
Dear Flabbergasted: Believe me, I do understand your confusion. Like you, in my growing-up years, we had less to choose from. My first drink in high school was cherry vodka. We also had access, it was the '50s and '60s, after all, to marijuana, but it was much less potent than the product kids have access to now. It does seem like, when we are talking about teen substance abuse, we are always playing catch-up and parents find themselves fighting against it. At the same time, drugs like heroin, which has not been popular for a while, rises unexpectedly in popularity?
The cause of these trends seems to be a mystery. It is understandable why people wonder why teens have a need to abuse anything. A study was done by two different groups: Partnership for a Drug Free America and Monitoring the Future (University of Michigan-Ann Arbor). They found that teens lean toward drugs that have more social approval (like marijuana) and are then more readily available. According to the study, teens take drugs because of the perceived risk, both physical and emotional. Many kids use drugs because they have had trauma in their lives and do not know how to deal with it. Some use due to stress and more still because of social or relational problems. Of course, peer pressure is a huge factor, also.
What is very different comparing this generation to ours is the availability of social media. When a teen uses drugs and has perceived "benefits" to include euphoric high, heightened energy or numbness, he or she spreads this around through blogs, chats, texting, Facebook, etc. Consequently, new drugs or ways to get high are spread quickly across the country. Teens also can easily get on the Internet and watch videos on how to get high or even make drugs like meth.
The most interesting part of these studies was their finding that the strongest declines in drug use occurred during the years when parents were talking to their kids about the risks of drug use and kids were exposed to anti-drug messages in the media. Teenagers are much smarter than we give them credit for. They respond and make better choices when they have people invested in their lives.
