The second big iOS 5 enhancement announced at the 2011 WWDC was none other than Newsstand — a method to directly access magazines and newspaper content from your iPhone.
So all of your favorite magazines — Elle, GQ, Esquire, etc. are available for immediate download and will reside in a folder that looks like, well, a newsstand on your iPhone's Home screen.
Subscriptions will play a role in newsstand to seamlessly deliver your content right to the comforts of your iPhone.
Read all about it. All in one place. iOS 5 organizes your magazine and newspaper app subscriptions in Newsstand: a folder that lets you access your favorite publications quickly and easily. There's also a new place on the App Store just for newspaper and magazine subscriptions. And you can get to it straight from Newsstand. New purchases go directly to your Newsstand folder. Then, as new issues become available, Newsstand automatically updates them in the background — complete with the latest covers. It's kind of like having the paper delivered to your front door. Only better.
Newsstand looks like the periodical version of iBooks; Apple's goal here is to obviously encroach on a market currently dominated by Amazon's Kindle.
If the success of the iBooks Store is any indication of what to expect, then I'd be looking over my shoulder even more so if I was Amazon.
What do you think? Does Newsstand look like something that you would use?
We'll have more details surrounding Newsstand in the near future, stay tuned for even more coverage of WWDC 2011.

Swank it's not. Lines for the coat check at inaugural events are notoriously long -- and partygoers are advised to wear flats and bring their own snacks.
But Democratic activists, who haven't been the belles of the ball in 12 years, say the venue and the crowds matter little.
''It's been such a long dry spell for Democrats it doesn't matter where it is,'' said Ritter, who is having her dress — a little roomy after eight years — slightly altered. "We elected a Democratic president of the United States. That's all that matters.''
Florida will cut the rug with Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas at one of five regional inaugural balls.
The armory venue -- which the city says ''can be readily transformed into an elegant setting for formal social affairs'' -- holds 10,000 and boasts a rich history: Frank Sinatra produced John F. Kennedy's inauguration gala there in 1961.
Tampa activist Ana Cruz is enthused, even about sharing a dance floor.
''We're all family. No matter if you're from Florida or South Carolina, we're there to celebrate,'' Cruz said. ``This is about celebrating not just Obama's success but our own.''
The Southern states' soiree is among 10 official inaugural balls that the newly minted president and first lady will attend, following the swearing-in and the parade -- and for many attendees that's reason enough to be there.
Rep. Kendrick Meek and his wife Leslie attended a private, unofficial ball at one of the Smithsonian museums in 2005, but they didn't make the official inauguration party.
`A CATTLE CALL'
Though the setting was glamorous, Leslie Meek has declared that the official inaugural ball this year is not to be missed. She said she's undaunted by warnings from Republican friends who describe the official balls as a bit of a mob scene.
''They said it was a cattle call, people are pushing, the only thing left to eat is a few crunched-up potato chips,'' she said, laughing. ``I figure it might just be like that, but I am all about the experience. If it's a cattle call, just call me Bessie. I want to see it all, and I want to be front and center.
''When I'm 98 years old I want to be able to tell people what it was like when we saw the first African-American president inaugurated,'' she said.
The Washington Post on Sunday published an advice column that warned ballgoers they would ``stand all night. There are long lines for security, coat check, bars and restrooms, and no place to sit down, except the floor.''
Meek said she took the warning to heart.
''It's got me thinking flats,'' she said of her shoe choice.
The officially sanctioned events are far from the only shindigs: Dozens of additional balls will be held across the city, with two aimed at Floridians. The Florida State Society -- one of a number of nonpartisan state societies that have hosted inaugural events since 1861 -- is teaming up with Florida House, the state's Washington ''embassy,'' to put on a dance and dinner at the upscale Corcoran Gallery of Art. Also on tap: a gala billed as the ''Florida Inaugural Celebration,'' to be held at the National Museum of the American Indian.
The two ''unofficial'' events won't feature visits by the president-elect, though members of Florida's congressional delegation, who traditionally get free tickets, are expected to make appearances.
Hayes & Associates, a public-relations firm that organizes the party at the museum, said it began the private parties after hearing complaints about the official balls.
''If you've ever been to an official ball, they have no food, you have to stand in line to get drinks, you may lose your coat, there's not even valet parking,'' said founder Leslie Hayes.
`PAY TO PLAY'
Obama's campaign has capped donors to the inauguration at $50,000 and banned lobbyists and corporations from contributing to inaugural events. Corporate donors like Florida Power & Light and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida have contributed to private parties, though.
Critics note that most contributors to the presidential inaugural committee and the private parties are well-connected political donors.
''This really is pay to play,'' Craig Holman of the watchdog group Public Citizen said of gala financing.
Bart Hudson, executive director at Florida House, says the same companies that keep Florida House running are contributing to the inaugural event -- allowing Floridians to party together.
''There's not a penny of tax dollars spent,'' Hudson said. ``All of us have a right to celebrate, and this is an opportunity for Floridians to do so among fellow Floridians.''
Floridians who can't make the trip north have alternatives. The Miami-Dade Democratic Party is hosting a party at the Rusty Pelican on the Rickenbacker Causeway and Broward Democrats have hired a band to entertain at the Deicke Auditorium in Plantation.
''A lot of people can't go, but they want to be part of it,'' said Mitch Ceasar, the Broward party chair.
State Sen. Frederica Wilson, an Obama elector, has seats for the inauguration. But she isn't yet sure which ball she's going to attend -- she has a number of invitations. The Miami Democrat famed for her fabulous hats already has a dress. Gold. And hat to match, natch.
''We're going to be standing in Washington watching an African-American man installed as president, and we'll be watching him in front of a building that was constructed with slave labor,'' Wilson said. ``I can't think of any place more important to be than in Washington on that day.''

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Several US Navy Sailors put on their uniforms on their days off to help deliver meals to San Diego-area military veterans.
Meals on Wheels President Debbie Case said they deliver 500,000 meals every year and about 42 percent of those meals go to veterans.
"To see the active duty and the respect that they have for these veterans is incredible," said Case.
Meals on Wheels makes 1,400 deliveries every day. That means more than 500 are for veterans.
Case added they also started delivering to disabled veterans no matter how old they are or when they ended their service.

I work with found objects - wood, metal, plastic, discarded utensils etc. I combine the different materials into subtle and satirical portraits of characters from everyday life. The narrative of the posture, material and facial expressions of the sculptures, gives the viewer freedom of subjective interpretation. I prefer being guided by my materials. Characters evolve from the subconscious into recognisable, nostalgic figures. My sculptures often comment on social or political matters, highlighting the truth and the beauty in normalcy.

Janelle Panganiban Graduates Summa Cum Laude at NYU; A Member of the Gaddang Indigenous People, from the Philippines
Summa Cum Laude. Janelle Panganiban waves the Philippine flag during her graduation in New York on 18 May 2018
New York -- Janelle Micaela S. Panganiban graduated summa cum laude recently with three majors: Global Public Health, Public Policy, Sociology (Honors) from New York University. She is a member of the Gaddang indigenous group from Isabela.
During her graduation, the 20-year old Panganiban was the recipient of the prestigious Alexander L. Shluger Award for Excellence in Sociology. This is awarded to a senior student who has majored in sociology and has excelled in his or her study of this subject. She was a consistent Dean's Lister and a Founders Day Awardee of her graduating class.
With her achievements, Panganiban said that, "As a Filipino, I feel like I have the obligation to bring all of these back to the Philippines and at the same time, as a descendant of the Gaddangs, I find myself impassioned for indigenous resurgence as a step to combat the long and embedded history of colonization."
Janelle is joined by her proud parents Rep. Jose T. Panganiban, Jr. and Mayor Lourdes S. Panganiban.
Asked what her secret to academic excellence is, she said, "Academic success is the time when I read a book that confronted my perspectives or when my professor and classmates challenged my opinions and debated with me. In other words, I achieved academic excellence by constantly questioning the norm and expanding my mindset. This is what I've learned to love and enjoy."
And her advice to Filipino students? "Remain curious, step out of your comfort zone, and engage in conversation. In our world that's growing more and more divided, I still have hope that we can find ways to transcend our differences."
"Never forget that you are a Filipino—huwag kalilimutan ang pinanggalingan. Saan mang bahagi ng mundo tayo makarating, ang Pilipinas pa rin sana ang ating balikan. Mangarap nang hindi lang para sa sarili, kung hindi na rin para sa bayan," she added.
Janelle Panganiban is the daughter Representative Jose T. Panganiban, Jr. of ANAC-IP Party list and Mayor Lourdes S. Panganiban of Angadangan, Isabela.
Consul Arman Talbo (left) and Cultural Officer Olive Magpile (right), congratulate Janelle after her graduation.
Panganiban will be one of the awardees during the 6th annual Philippine Graduation (PGRAD) on Saturday, 9 June 2018 at the Philippine Center. PGRAD is a flagship project of the Philippine Consulate General in New York, in cooperation with Pilipino American Unity for Progress (UniPro).
Another Filipina, 21-year old Lara Andrea Montales likewise recently graduated summa cum laude from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in BS Economics major in Finance and Business Analytics.
Montales was the valedictorian in grade school at Colegio San Agustin-Makati and she graduated with honors at Philippine Science High School before enrolling in Wharton School, number 1 in Forbes 2017 Best Business Schools in the US.

Book Review: Undersea Warriors
HistoryNet Staff
Undersea Warriors: The Untold History of the Royal Navy's "Secret Service," by Iain Ballantyne, Pegasus Books, New York, 2019, $35
Many historians date the end of the Cold War to the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification of Germany 30 years ago. To this day, however, many military operations carried on during that fraught and dangerous era remain shrouded in secrecy. Undersea Warriors lifts at least a corner of the veil regarding the role played by Britain's Royal Navy submarine service. While not as numerous as their U.S. Navy co-belligerents, British submarines nevertheless were kept very busy during the Cold War.
Undersea Warriors explores in detail the little-reported exploits of British intelligence and ballistic missile submariners during the Cold War through the experiences of four commanders at the sharp end of such operations, whom author Iain Ballantyne writes possessed "steely courage and technical competence, not forgetting an ability to think fast—and to come up with solutions to problems that only a nonconformist mind could find." Much of the material in the book was previously classified.
A prolific author of books and articles on naval matters, Ballantyne has extensive firsthand knowledge of his subject. He also has a facility for rendering nonfiction into a narrative as brisk and readable as a novel. In fact, some of the events recounted in his book may have inspired novels. Part action-adventure and part spy thriller, Undersea Warriors blends the writing approaches of C.S. Forester and John le Carré to reveal a world of which few outsiders have been aware.

About Iona
Iona Blog
Meet The Neighbours
Date Added - 18 March 2016 - Ardoran House
Having spent the last couple of days staying at the fabulous Ardoran House while exploring Iona and its amazing history, I am keen to find out more about its neighbouring Islands.
Iona sits within several interlinking groups of Islands, so there is no shortage of place to visit and each of these Islands has its own character. Mull to the North is the biggest of the Inner Hebrides and has a thriving population of around 3000 people.
To the west of Iona are the Treshnish Islands, now uninhabited these islands are home to the greatest colonies of sea birds in Western Europe and include Staffa and Fingal's Cave, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This group of Islands sit in pristine seas teeming with ocean life and one of Europe's premier sailing destinations.
As a young man I spent a lot of time on a friend's fishing boat in and around these Islands, but today I am going to use a fantastic local company Staffa Tours to take me to see some of the best wee Islands perched here on the edge of the Atlantic.
Gordon Grant and his family have run Staffa Tours for over 3O years and their boats depart from Iona, Tobermory on Mull and Ardnamurchan, which means you can cut down on your driving and enjoy an exciting boat trip.
Today I am leaving from Iona and heading to the Treshnish Islands. My first stop will be Staffa, them sailing past the Dutchman's Cap and Cairn na Burgh, Flagga to Lunga.
Stretching over 5 miles, this small archipelago is formed by a series of small islands and skerries (a reef or rocky island) and is part of the Inner Hebrides chain of islands.
Uninhabited since the late 19th century, these islands were once home to a thriving community, who carved out a touch existence in fishing and seaweed harvesting as well crofting. Although Lunga is the largest of the Treshnish Isles and the century's old heritage of its church and settlements can still be found, the jewel in the crown is undoubtedly Staffa and its incredible Fingal's Cave, where we are heading.
I love boats…I don't know if it is the smell of the sea, the feel of the waves beneath, the wind or the sound, but I have always felt right at home and the seas around Iona are some of the most beautiful in the world. Today we are taking the MV Fingal out to Staffa where we will land and explore the island including the astonishing Fingal's Cave.
Staffa is simply magnificent, made entirely from hexagonal basalt columns, identical to the Giants Causeway in Ireland; there is strong evidence of a geological connection between the two. However to stand on a boat in an ocean swell and to see the size of the cave is breath-taking and to stand inside Fingal's Cave, with its roof of pillars the height of St Paul's cathedral, is something to behold.
It's no wonder that some of the most famous people of the 18th and 19th centuries visited Staffa and the highlight of Felix Mendelssohn's Hebridean overture is the piece 'Fingal's Cave'.
I keep remembering that I am following in the footsteps of Jules Verne, Wordsworth, Keats, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Pink Floyd and Queen Victoria. Jules Vern was so taken by the island that he mentions it in 'Journey to the centre of the earth' and standing in Fingal's Cave looking at the bizarre natural architecture you can see why.
While there is no doubt that Fingal's Cave is the highlight of Staffa, the rest of the island is certainly worth a walk. At one point this tiny island supported several families, before it became uninhabited in the 1800s. Again, fishing, seaweed gathering and subsistence crops, supplemented with seabirds and their eggs were all part of a very tough life and looking around this speck of rock on the edge of the Atlantic, I wonder how the heck people clung to this place in midst of the winter storms.
Today however this is one of those astonishing Hebridean days where the blue sky reflects off an ocean teaming with life. The sense of being this close to nature is overpowering. A pod of dolphins have been following us out since we cleared Iona and their antics seem to captivate everyone on board, even the crew who have no doubt seen this a thousand times.
The waters around Iona and Mull are a haven for whales and dolphins. Pilot whales, Orcas and Minke whales are regular visitors as is the world's second largest fish, the Basking Shark. When I first came to Mull thirty years ago, basking sharks were thought to have been wiped out, these days they can be seen in pods of five or six, all over the Hebridean Islands. You can even get up close and personal and dive with basking sharks (they eat plankton!) insert link www.baskingshark.co.uk
The waters here are clear and clean, with few major shipping lanes and no heavy industry nearby. This is why Hebridean seafood is valued all over the world and tastes delicious!
With my camera full of images of this amazing Island and its cathedral like cave, we head back to the welcoming MV Fingal. The trip to Staffa takes about 3 hours, but I am taking the all day trip which takes in Lunga and the sea bird paradise of Harp Rock.
After a great lunch I'm raring to go and can't wait to see Lunga and some of the most entertaining characters in the natural world, the Atlantic Puffins. Check back soon.

Some projects—say, building the pyramids—are huge in scope, requiring the buy-in and involvement of thousands of people over many years. Others—say, uncluttering your desk—involve only one person and can be accomplished in an hour or less. Most fall somewhere in between. One thing is certain, if the project involves two or more people, cooperation is critical.
The Assignment. The executive (or committee) that first assigned the project to you may not agree with your idea of what the project should achieve; or the same person may have a change of mind about the outcome, sometimes without letting you know.
Other Departments. The managers of other departments have their own priorities and can be expected to have problems with your schedule, especially if it affects their workload and timing. Two situations are of special concern to you: when your team includes members of other departments and when you need to receive information from another department.
Visit the other manager before you finalize the schedule. No matter how restricted you are by an imposed deadline, and no matter how little say you had in choosing your team, you must be prepared to accommodate your team members' managers. Ask for a meeting and present your initial schedule. Ask whether the proposed schedule will cause any conflict with an employee's recurring duties within the department. If there is a scheduling problem, work with each manager to resolve it.
Keep in touch while the project is under way. A weekly status check may be all you need. A three-minute telephone discussion should be enough to double-check schedules. By working together, you and the department manager will be able to resolve any conflicts that arise and so avoid the kinds of breakdowns that lead to serious conflicts, both work-related and personal.
Remain as flexible as possible. Stop and think whenever you find yourself about to say, "You told me this wouldn't be a problem." Few departments can judge very far in advance the demands that will be placed on them from above. Successful project managers stay on schedule and within budget to the extent possible, even when team members from other departments are pulled suddenly. You may have to shift duties to someone else or do the work yourself.
Confront the problems, not the people. In some cases, managers will seem unreasonable, unyielding, defensive and uncooperative. They may resent having an employee removed from their jurisdiction to work on your project, and this can create an array of hostile reactions. Egos are at play, and no matter how strong a manager is, egos are fragile things. Concentrate on the problem the reaction creates. Ask the manager to suggest a solution that satisfies the departmental needs as well as the project's needs.
Design your schedule so that the consultant is given a deadline in advance of your actual deadline. Although this is not always practical, since the consultant's participation may depend on competition of a particular phase of the project, it is a good general guideline.
Be prepared to complete the work without the consultant. The consultant may have been retained because management believes an outsider's point of view will be superior to that of an insider. If you and your core team are able to get the work done on schedule with little or no problem, make sure management knows that the work was completed internally.
Accept consultant delays as being beyond your control. You cannot control the consultant's schedule, nor can you enforce a deadline. And you cannot always work around the consultant, either. Once you realize a project will be delayed due to a consultant, inform management at once.


BRIEF - What about the past? How does solution focus deal with that?
In Time's Arrow Martin Amis reverses the direction of time. The book starts with the central protagonist dying into life and ends with him being born into non-existence. This structure offers Amis the opportunity to engage and to amuse his readers but in a much more fundamental way to challenge his readers' core assumptions about the way that life is. From the past to the present to the future, that's the way that we read life. But more than that, we do not appear just to see a temporal flow, we assume causation. The past we instinctively feel is responsible for shaping and causing the present, and the present and the past will be responsible for the shaping of the future. Given this, it is not surprising that solution focused brief therapists are often challenged for not 'dealing' with the past. How can you be sure, if you do not deal with causes, that the problem will not go away just to come back, either the same problem back or another to replace it?
It is of course important first of all to bear in mind that the simple, linear, past towards future through the present construction of time is a simplification. We can relatively easily for instance conceive of the idea that the present is shaped by the future. We are, for example, familiar with the self-fulfilling prophecy. Macbeth is just one instance of this. But in a much more simple way our goals, our preferred futures, where it is that we are trying to get to, will shape what we do today and tomorrow. In this way at least, the future shapes the present. However similarly our past, our history, is shaped by the present and even, to some extent, by the future. Every history represents a selection of material that is thought to be significant. No history contains everything that happened. So during a down, perhaps depressed period in our lives, the history that comes to mind is often the history of what went wrong for us, our history of failures and difficulties. During a subsequent up period our history shifts and what comes to mind is the history of our success. In a similar way an expectation of a future success that has not yet taken place can shape our reading of the past. So clearly the relationship between present, past and future is more complex and subtle than we always choose to realise. St Augustine did attempt to nudge us towards a more complex awareness hundreds of years ago when he pointed out that all we can ever have access to is the present. He pointed out that the past is merely the recollection of past events in the present and that the future is our expectation of future events in the present. This thought perhaps should have been of more use to the therapeutic community than the therapeutic community has, until now, made of it.
How can we deal with the past without talking about it?
Building constructive histories: choosing the history that suits our preferred future.
In 1993 I was invited to lead a Family Therapy course in Slovenia. At the time the civil war in Yugoslavia or struggle for the liberation of Slovenia, depending on your standpoint, was still unresolved and so the course could not start. However immediately after the end of the war the course commenced. During this time and for a period of roughly 2 years, I flew out to Slovenia on a number of occasions using Adria airlines, the Slovenian national carrier. Being an anxious air-traveler I am one of the few people who read not just the in-flight safety instructions but the airline's in-house magazine as well. When I started travelling the magazine proudly trumpeted that Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital city, was one of Marshal Tito's favoured cities because it was the birthplace of his mother, and that he visited the city frequently. By the end of the course the magazine reported the history of Slovenia's struggle for independence over many hundreds of years and Marshall Tito's mother and the special relationship between Tito and Slovenia had disappeared. Indeed the relationship was not even 'just history'. It was gone. In this situation the spin-doctors of history had clearly concluded that the centuries of struggle for independence was the history that best suited the preferred, independent, future of the Slovenian State. E. M. Forster, the English novelist, wrote in his book 'What is the novel?' that every story has a beginning, a middle and an end and herein lies for many clients and sometimes for therapy, the problem. Given the linear, causal frame that we tend to apply to events through time, if the past and the present have been highly problematic the implication is that the future will also be so. Thus if the client makes a radical change of direction in her life, perhaps having come to therapy, and a problematic past is transformed into an acceptable present, the danger is that at times that change, from problem to solution, can feel unstable to the client. How long will it last? What if everything goes wrong again? And in such a context a renewed problem can seem to portend the end of the newfound and positive direction in the client's life. This is particularly the case of course if the client's past has been problem-dominated and lived in close proximity to professional helpers thereby confirming, at every turn, the client's 'problem' status.
So it seems time is more complicated than we often suppose and the only way for sure that we can ever know that the past has been dealt with – however much it may or may not have been talked about – is when the present is genuinely satisfactory and the expectation is that this satisfactory state of affairs will persist. Fortunately for the client the Solution Focused approach is particullarly useful for bringing about this change of affairs and is likely to take a great deal less long than talking about the past directly is likely to take.


Every year, trillions of animals migrate for thousands of kilometres between their summer and winter habitats. Among them are several species of bats whose journeys in the dark of the night unfold largely unnoticed by humans and have only partially been investigated by science. A reconstruction of individual migration patterns of the common noctule (Nyctalus noctula) in Central Europe has now revealed that traveling distances vary greatly among individuals, yet overall, females cover longer distances than males.
Local bat populations, which remain separate when females rear their offspring in summer, strongly mix in their hibernacula, the roost where they hibernate in winter. Additionally, the study showed that individuals rarely change their migration habits—a behaviour that could prove problematic when bats are forced to adjust to rapidly changing ecosystems. The study was published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.
An international team of scientists led by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW) in Berlin used stable hydrogen isotope ratios in minute fur samples to estimate the region of origin of more than 1,000 individuals from seven wintering areas across Central Europe. This data informed researchers about the migration routes of noctule bats within, into and out of Central Europe. The data reveals that the animals from a hibernacula show a great variety of migratory behaviour: The majority of the bats populate the same region in summer and winter, but in each hibernacula, a significant share of animals traveled for longer distances to reach it.
"We showed that individuals from a hibernacula can show divergent migratory behaviours with some individuals staying local and others being long-distance migrants," says Christian Voigt from the Leibniz-IZW. "This pattern is called partial migration, and it causes strong genetic mixing of populations when bats mate during migration and hibernation. During rearing of the offspring in the summer months, bats remain separate in distinct regions such as Poland, Russia, the Baltic States, Scandinavia or Germany."
Furthermore, data analyses indicate that female bats cover especially long distances in their migration. More often than males, female common noctules came from northern regions to their hibernacula. Correlating these findings with morphologic measurements, the researchers show that the females benefit from long journeys. "We derived a coefficient from body mass and forearm length, a body mass index, and were able to show that males are in best shape when they stay in the same region locally, while among females, the ones who travel long distances are in better shape," explains Linn Lehnert from Leibniz-IZW, first author of the study. "We assume that a superior food supply for the insectivorous bats in northern regions is the main reason for this pattern. Females have higher energy demands during pregnancy and nursing, which makes it worthwhile for them to shoulder the epic journeys." Males, on the contrary, migrate predominantly during their early life and tend to adopt a regional lifestyle for much of their adult life.
Last but not least, the scientists analysed isotopic data from 79 individuals that were caught more than once in different years in the same hibernacula. They found that the vast majority of common noctules are creatures of habit. Eighty-six percent showed the exact same migratory behaviour as in a previous year. These firm habits could constrain adjusting to changing environmental conditions, a scenario that becomes more and more probable thinking of global warming, insect decline and other human-induced ecosystem changes. Individuals with a greater flexibility may have better chances to cope successfully with these challenges.
In order to assess the resilience of different bat species in connection with migratory behaviour, more research is needed, says Lehnert. "What we do know for sure, however, is how important local hibernacula are for the population of the common noctule bat in Central Europe. A combination of locally embedded and internationally coordinated conservation efforts is needed urgently to protect hibernacula."

It is okay for a leader to take u-turn if it would be wiser, Said Malaysian PM Mahathir
Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad says it is okay for a leader to backtrack from his initial promises because even angels make mistakes some times.
The veteran leader retorts to the critics amidst criticism over several 'u-turns' in his government's policies lately.
He said sometimes people made mistakes and had to backtrack when they realise it would be wiser to do so.
The words of wisdom from the nonagenarian leader: "Sometimes, we go the wrong way, we turn around but only if necessary. We are not perfect people."
Dr Mahathir was responding to reports, one of which is the suspension of the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loan instalment scheme that was supposed to take effect on Jan 1st.
It is an interesting coincidence, Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan in a same vein while talking to newsmen said that a leader who is unable to take a u-turn if necessary is not a leader.
In a meeting with the selected journalists, Prime Minister Khan said: "We used to make strategies for matches but if those plans failed to deliver then we would make new strategies." He referred to Adolph Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte and said: "Hitler and Napoleon suffered huge defeats and caused losses as they did not take U-turns."
"If you are walking and there is a wall in front of you, then you will have to find another way around it," PM Imran said, adding that "a leader who does not know how to take U-turns is not successful", said Imran Khan.

Presented at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, AKI is a walnut wood, linen, silk and rubber paravent that celebrates the return of a thousand year old furnishing as an autonomous object. Designed by Nathalie Van der Massen and Charlotte Vlerick for the Belgian Hija studio, AKI is inspired by traditional Japanese paravents and it has been created around the motifs of light and transparency, true starting point for the development of the partition wall.
Made by local artisans through a manual process with wooden fins, AKI presents a walnut structure finished with brass details and a complex fabric that was commissioned by the Flemish Institute of Architecture to study the light and the technical possibilities in the weaving phase. The warp is available in two variants – the tone-on-tone version "Ton" and "Akua", derived from an original watercolor painted by Van der Massen herself – and it is composed of thin slits designed to infuse lightness and transparency by creating a fine play of colors. Thanks to its complex and experimental processing, AKI's fabric has been selected by the Tilburg Textile Museum as a heritage to be kept in its permanent archive.
To be fixed in the room as a divider or to position in the center as an independent artwork, AKI is a study, art and technique object in loving memory of one of the most ancient symbols of living.


Women, too, want the gift of power tools! These ideas are for women who love to DIT (Do It Themselves) with their own power tools – or who need to hear "You Go, Girl" in practical ways.
"There is something permanent, and something extremely profound, in owning a home." ~ Kenny Guinn.
An unavoidable part of owning a home is having to upgrade, renovate, and do basic maintenance around the house –all the time! Those household chores are much easier to DIY if women have the right power tools.
The tools don't necessarily have to be pink, such as Little Pink Drill pictured, but they do have to be safe and reliable.
Buying a home as a single woman after my divorce was daunting. As if the prospect of paying a 30-year mortgage by myself wasn't enough, wondering how I would be able to do routine maintenance and home improvement projects on my own kept me up at night.
Once I realized that my desire to own a home of my own was greater than the fear associated with it, I took the plunge.
Despite my initial worries, after I got the first project or two under my proverbial tool belt, I knew I was well on my way to becoming a "DIY Diva." Perhaps you have one or two such women on your gift list – we watch HGTV or the DIY Network, we've got home improvement magazines lining the coffee table, and we're on a first name basis with the salespeople at Lowe's and Home Depot.
Power tools make great gifts for new DIYers, mainly because we don't already have a vast collection of equipment and we generally don't even know how many different gadgets are available to help us with our home improvement projects.
She won't be drilling for oil, but there's no end to the number of ways a power drill will make her life easier! The first tool I bought was a power drill. I've used it to put together furniture, replace the hardware on kitchen cabinets and drawers, prepare large pieces of artwork for hanging, build garden boxes for my square-foot-garden, install hardware to hang curtains, and much more.
When buying a power drill for a women, pick one of the smaller, lighter-weight varieties, such as Black & Decker Cordless Drill. A battery-operated drill with a rechargeable battery will give her much more flexibility. Most come with a standard bit and both a flat and Phillips screwdriver head. For a few extra dollars, add a small collection of drill bits in other sizes so she'll have sizes on hand for a wide variety of projects.
It never occurred to me that I might need an electric hand sander, but once I bought one to help repair the walls when I removed the tiles from my kitchen backsplash, I knew I'd find lots of other uses for it. I've used my sander to repair holes and cracks in my walls, particularly after deciding that I'd hung a picture in the wrong place. I've also used it to smooth cut edges and eliminate the risk of splinters in many of my woodworking projects.
When buying an electric hand sander as a gift for a woman, don't forget to buy a multipack of sandpapers in varying grits and a dust filter to protect her from inhaling the dust as she sands away.
This handy power tool is a perfect gift for women who need to do any type of home improvement project that generates a lot of dust or sawdust. I bought mine when I was tearing out the kitchen backsplash tile and it made clean up so much faster and easier.
A Shop-Vac Wet or Dry Vacuum is also a great tool to have around any time there's a plumbing fixture that leaks. I've also used mine to vacuum the inside of my car between visits to the car wash.
Whether the homeowner on your list has a small yard or a large one, chances are she has weeds somewhere! A Black & Decker weed whacker is a great power tool gift for women – she'll use it all summer and spring.
Choose one that lightweight, is easy to start and maintain, and one that doesn't have too much kick if she's not used to using heavy-duty landscaping equipment. Her back will thank you, and so will her neighbors.
Many women feel a great sense of accomplishment and empowerment when they take care of their homes themselves, especially those of us who were raised to think that home improvement projects and lawn care were "man's work".
Give the single women homeowners on your list a gift that says "You Go Girl!" And if you want to make her feel like a woman, consider a small bottle of spring or summer perfume, as well.


There should be some checking to see that folks aren't going to be able to send with invalid emails.
got this when sending a test message (without saving between tabs).
I made sure that it strips out the @ from the "name" of the email, but it was hard to reproduce the error (setting config variables to strange values and the like). But the issue about "not sending out with an invalid email" is one that is hard to code and eventually the responsibility of the admin of a system.

Raghav Chadha (born 11 November 1988) is an Indian politician and member of the Aam Aadmi Party. He is the Vice-Chairman of the Delhi Jal Board and an MLA from the Rajendra Nagar assembly constituency in Delhi.
Raghav Chaddha has been nominated as a member of the Rajya Sabha from Punjab after his party won 92 out of 117 seats in the Punjab Legislative Assembly elections held in March 2022. He is also a practicing chartered accountant.
'Thankful for Delhi CM, Punjab CM…': Raghav Chadha on Rajya Sabha nomination
Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chadha on Monday thanked party boss and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, as well as new Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann, for his nomination as a Rajya Sabha MP. "I have come to file a nomination for Rajya Sabha.
I want to thank Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann for nominating me at such a young age," Chadha, 33, told news agency ANI. He said that he if elected to the Upper House, would raise issues concerning the people of Punjab and protect their interests.
Chadha, a Delhi MLA, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh, and IIT-Delhi professor Dr. Sandeep Pathak are among the AAP's Rajya Sabha picks, as is Ashok Mittal, the founder, and chancellor of Punjab's Lovely Professional University.
Voting for 13 Rajya Sabha seats will be held on March 31, with five vacant in Punjab, three in Kerala, two in Assam, and one each in Himachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Tripura.
Delhi chief minister and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal in a message asked the new state ministers to perform or perish as Bhagwant Man continues to enforce the government's anti-corruption agenda.
Punjab this month became the second state where the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP is in power; the party won 92 of 117 seats to defeat the ruling Congress. Bhagwant Mann took oath as chief minister last week in a grand manner at Khatkar Kalan, the ancestral village of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, in Nawanshahr district. Just after AAP's victory in Punjab, cricketer Harbhajan Singh had congratulated Bhagwant Mann on Twitter.
Victory in Punjab is set to give AAP a big boost in numbers in the Rajya Sabha. Currently, AAP has only three MPs in the Upper House. Meanwhile, the BJP bagged the rest of the four states – Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur, and Goa in the recently-held assembly elections.

Farooq Ahmed Dar (Bitta Karate) Biography, Wiki, Wife, Address, Family | Who is Farooq Ahmed Dar? Bio, Wikipedia


Actually there are two of him. A case of double vision as the saga unfolds with the present Josh as a balladeer retelling what happened to him a year ago as we see the past Josh facing up to the fact that his apartment has been stripped of his most prized possessions including a Bundt cake resting in his fridge. He is without a girlfriend, brokenhearted and broke. Facing Valentine's Day alone. Again. With only a Neil Diamond CD and kitty-cat calendar left behind by the robber.
They are dressed identically. The narrator Josh (David Rossmer) is upbeat. The past Josh (Steve Rosen) isn't, a bit heavier and has a mustache. They make beautiful music together. In fact, they are both responsible for the very funny book, catchy music and spot on lyrics to this delightful modern morality tale superbly directed with minute attention to every detail by Hunter Foster.
If it is a bit slow to get started – after all they have to set up his character and loveless situation – it goes into high gear with the arrival of a check for 56,000 thousand dollars made out to Josh Cohen from an Irma Cohen in West Palm Beach Florida.
We might be one step ahead of the authors at this point after all the title of the show in THE OTHER JOSH COHEN but once the check arrives the authors are two, three and four steps ahead of us all to our great amusement as they zanily steer us through the maze of seemingly endless characters that Josh has to contact in order to decide what the right thing is to do regarding the check.
All the other characters are superbly rendered by the five versatile cast members who also play various instruments, sing backup and wear great wigs as they scamper around the stage in this very entertaining production.
They are Kate Wetherhead, Luke Darnell, Elizabeth Nestlerode, and scene stealers Louis Tucci (Josh's dentist dad) and Hannah Elless (as Aunt Bea) – all doing justice to the almost stereotypical collection of characters that include Darth Vader and Neil Diamond.
For those feeling unloved and lonely and perhaps feeling that the world is against you and that fate has dealt you an unkind deck of cards you may discover the real underlying problem is you and that your outlook may need an adjustment. In other words be a mensch.
Go. Be kind and be honest and optimistic – don't give up and it will turn out just fine. If this sounds a bit Pollyannaish. So be it. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's the right thing to do.

The CJ Motorsports S1 fuel system, originally released in 2006, has remained the premium and most complete solution for the FD RX7 ever since. With countless updates through the years, we have continually made improvements and added options to keep it on top.
This is a total upgrade kit for all engine bay fuel system components utilizing a parallel plumbing configuration for the rails. This kit is compatible with factory or aftermarket lower intake manifolds, and available with a 2 or 4 injector secondary rail.
The foundation of this system is based on our completely billet machined secondary rail. This rail is fueled by the included -6an feed line which fastens to the factory 5/16" feed pipe and a -6/-8AN reducer in the back of the secondary rail. The rail features a -8AN inlet port to accommodate future upgrades. Integrated to the secondary rail is a Y-Block to provide fuel for the primary rail.
Our primary rail features -6AN inlet and outlet fittings. Fuel exiting the front of either rail via included PTFE hoses will lead to the adjustable pressure regulator affixed to the upper intake manifold with the CJM laser-cut stainless regulator mount.
Carefully remove the factory diffusers placed underneath the original fuel injectors.

How Do You Face a Bipolar Disorder Diagnosis?
There are four primary symptoms/characteristics to help one determine if they suffer from bipolar disorder. The each revolve around the frequency and severity of fluctuations in energy and mood. Many of those who suffer from bipolar disorder report that it can be difficult to even get out of bed in the morning. However, these low periods can be followed by manic episodes where energy levels are pinned and it's nearly impossible to get rest and/or think rationally. Manic phases can cause a feeling of euphoria, coupled with abnormal energy that leads to even reckless behavior. It's often closely followed by deep depression, leaving one side and feeling hopeless during what can be lengthy episodes of Little activity.
Frequent mood changes of those who have bipolar disorder are known as "cycling" by most professionals and patients. The pattern of cycling is never the same from person to person, nor is it even consistent within one individual. And between the extremes, patients can experience perfectly healthy feelings behavior much like anyone else when experience. However, the patient must remain vigilant for the onset of either mania or depression.
For some, seasonal changes can function as a trigger for the onset of an episode. The key is to always be self-aware when changes began to occur. Past episodes can and do leave clues about what to expect in the future. Many sufferers find relief through therapy and/or medication. And while it's not common, there are patient to find the perfect regimen to minimize, or even stop, mood cycling. It's important to learn to rely on family and friends in spotting behavioral shifts. Sometimes, they are able to see the warning signs when you cannot. Tell your friends and acquaintances about your disorder ahead of time. It's important that they understand what you may be facing, in case your behavior becomes erratic while they are present.
In most cases, a combination of counseling, psychiatric care and medication provide the most effective treatment for bipolar disorder. In fact, most patients use more than one medication to create mood stabilization. Popular drug treatment includes antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics and benzodiazepines. This may sound like a lot to take, but it can be a blessing compared to behavior that is destructive and out-of-control. No one wants to face a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, because like most mental health conditions, it leaves one feeling less than in control of their life. But it's important to understand that plenty of treatment help is available, and many drugs are effective for controlling the symptoms.

Future of Welsh media to be discussed at the Eisteddfod
Llywydd Elin Jones
What can be done to strengthen the fragmented Welsh media will be discussed at the National Eisteddfod on Wednesday.
Golwg's Editor-in-Chief Dylan Iorwerth will chair a panel including:
Elin Jones, the Llywydd of the National Assembly
Garmon Rhys, BBC Cymru's Head of News
Ifan Morgan Jones, Nation.Cymru's Editor and Journalism Course Leader at Bangor University
Huw Marshall, Digital Consultant
The event called 'Politics, journalism and digital – the future' will be held in the Societies Pavilion 2 on Wednesday, August 9 at 11.30.
The discussion will follow on from the report 'Creating a Digital Dialogue' published by the News and Digital Information Taskforce in June.
Elin Jones AM said: "I commissioned the Digital Information and News Taskforce report to better understand how we can strengthen the way we communicate as we seek to build our open, digital parliament which engages with all of the people of Wales.
"I'm looking forward to examining the future of politics, journalism and digital in our discussion on the Maes and I hope that many people come to listen and share their views."
Dylan Iorwerth said that there was a democratic deficit in Wales and a lack of information and debate.
"A key element of that is the use of new media and digital technology," he said.
"I hope that this debate will be a step towards genuine action and I hope that people will attend in order to let us know what they require."


Inspired by Michael Jordan's continued flight status and a WWII fighter plane the Men's Air Jordan Retro V Basketball Shoe is another custom Tinker Hatfield tinkered to perfection. With another scoring title under his belt and a 69 point outbreak against the Cavaliers, Jordan needed a shoe that would live up to his elevated game. 1990 proved to be a good year, Michael's aerial attack inspired the WWII Spitfire flames on the V's. This shoe introduced a padded tongue displaying a continuance of the iconic jumpman logo, and a first for clear rubber outsoles. Additionally, a plastic lace-lock, suede upper and side vents converge to form a fighter like shoe ready for takeoff.

Q: Expand variables in a batch script like parameter extension I know that if I have a batch script with parameters, I can expand those parameters to fully qualified paths like so
set expanded=%~f1

How can I do the same thing with a variable in a for loop? I'm looping over the lines in a text file and I want to expand each line (which contains a relative path) to a full path. The following is not allowed
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
for /F "tokens=*" %%f in ('type "paths.txt"') do (
    set p=%%f
    set p=!p:abc=def! # modify p a bit
    set expanded=!~fp!  <--- invalid
)
endlocal

Can this be done?

A: What you're asking is possible, and you don't need to set a variable p. Consider this:
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
for /F "tokens=*" %%f in ('type "paths.txt"') do (
    set p=%%f
    set expanded=!~fp!  <--- invalid
    set valid_expanded=%%~ff <--- valid
)
endlocal

If you still want to set the variable p, however:
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
for /F "tokens=*" %%f in ('type "paths.txt"') do (
    set p=%%~ff
)
endlocal

It basically works the same as it would when calling labels and files.

The art with which Zacharias carefully reconstructs events leading up to a senseless, painful tragedy is reminiscent of In Cold Blood in its power.
Zacharias employs a sure sense of pace and description that enables this heartbreaking, never-salacious memoir to read like a thriller.

Book Trailer for A Silence of Mockingbirds (created by film students @ CWU)
This is Karly Sheehan. She could not wait to grow up & go to college. She talked about it all the time with her Daddy David.
When David Sheehan first found out he was going to be a daddy he was elated.
David is a kid at heart. He was delighted to have a daughter who'd be a panty-head with him.
David Sheehan adored Karly.
So did Grandpa Sheehan, David's daddy.
Karly and David made two trips to Ireland, where David grew up, to visit with Grandpa & Grandma Sheehan.
On that last trip to Ireland in 2004, Karly helped make her daddy a 30th birthday cake. Karly wouldn't be around for his next birthday.
That's hard to believe because ever since she was born, David couldn't imagine a life without Karly in it.
David considered Karly the most precious gift ever. He thought about her all the time. When he was in Singapore on a business trip he bought his baby girl this outfit.
He was always marveling over how adorable Karly was.
When the time was right, David wrapped Karly up and carried her to St. Mary's in Corvallis, Oregon for her Christening Day.
Holidays gave David and Karly one more reason to be joyous.
It didn't matter if it was St. Paddy's Day.
How little
Or how old she was
It didn't matter if it was Christmas then
or Christmas later
Or Halloween again,
Or sparklers on the Fourth of July
Whether they were in Ireland
The Oregon Coast
Or just out for an afternoon hike.
David and Karly had fun.
She shared her every dream and hope with the daddy she loved so well.
But not her nightmares.
Karly and her daddy shared most everything
But Karly was too frightened to tell her daddy who was pulling out her hair and leaving bruises all over her.
When his ex-wife brought Karly to the house one Saturday all battered and bald, David took pictures and gave them to the state's Children Protective Services. But the State later said they lost those photos, and they made David their primary suspect in an abuse investigation.
Karly would keep quiet about who was hurting her until her dying day.
Whenever David wants to visit Karly now he goes to her gravesite.
Karly was dear to our family, too.
And, for a season, her mother was a part of our family.

CIRIA, in conjunction with The Ecology Consultancy's founder John Newton, have launched a mobile application to provide those working in construction and the built environment with easy access to guidance on legislation and good practice to consider when working with wildlife on site.
Based on the 'Working With Wildlife: Guidance for the construction industry' written by leading experts from the Ecology Consultancy and originally published by CIRIA in 2011, the two organisations have worked together to gather the key information from the guide into a compact, user-friendly mobile application that can be downloaded to your device.
The clue is in the name, the Working With Wildlife app offers construction and development professionals guidance on why, when and how to consider wildlife in their work.
Indeed, most proposed development sites – whether they are rural, urban or suburban, and whether they have been designated for their wildlife importance – have some degree of wildlife interest. In general, wherever there is any presence of wildlife on a site, this should at least be acknowledged, with UK legislation dictating that potential adverse impacts on it should be addressed in the right way.
By compiling this guidance in a mobile app, CIRIA and The Ecology Consultancy are providing construction professionals with all the necessary information to hand while on site, equipping them with the tools they need to make the right decisions and know when to call in an ecologist. This format also enables content to be updated to align with guidance and legislation changes, and ensure it provides the most up-to-date information about protected species, with users also encouraged to provide feedback to help the continual improvement of the app.
From planning through to build, wildlife issues should be considered throughout all stages of a development. The application is a tool that will be beneficial to a wide range of construction professionals, including not only developers and contractors, but planners and architects too – and its mobile format makes it simple for organisations to distribute it around their staff and easily adopt its use company-wide. Ecologists and those in environmental consultancy will of course also benefit from the portability of this key guidance in relation to protected species.
The Working With Wildlife app offers practical advice on how to manage eight protected species and groups of species commonly encountered on construction sites – badger, bats, breeding birds, dormouse, great crested newt, otters, reptiles and water vole.
The app also contains background on the fundamentals of ecology, an overview of the legislation surrounding protected species, a glossary of key ecological terms, as well as references and further reading.
The Working With Wildlife is available for free on Android and iOS.
Search for "Working With Wildlife" on the Google App Store and on the App Store or click the links to download for free.
