"The Perception of Same-sex Marriage in Hungarian Society\nMarriage between same-sex couples is supported by 36% and opposed by 56% of the Hungarian population, according to the most recent representative survey conducted by Budapest Pride and Integrity Lab. Adoption rights are much more widely supported – 46% of respondents would not exclude same-sex couples of adoption opportunities. 60% of the society shares the opinion that gay, lesbian and bisexual people should have the same rights as everyone else.\nMore Support Among Women and Graduates\nNearly 40% of Hungarian women support equal marriage, as opposed to men, where only one-third vouched for the same. Next to women, correspondents who have obtained higher education showed above-average support – 43% of graduates would welcome marriage between same-sex couples. Contrary to international trends, however, the youngest age groups did not stand by the marriage between same-sex couples to an overwhelming degree, and unlike previous results, people living in the capital city Budapest did not gain the title of the most supportive community.\nReligion Is the Greatest Polarizing Factor\nBy far the highest percentage of respondents against same-sex marriage – 75% – was seen among those who consider themselves religious according to the teachings of the Church. The not knowingly religious proved to be the most supportive group – 47% support the cause; but equally as many are against it. Opposition rates were revealed to be much lower in religious groups not following the Church. In conclusion, the cause for the difference in support is not being religious in itself, but rather religiousness in line with the rules of the respective church.\nClear Divide Between Right- and Left-wing\nAn obvious difference was found between right-wing and left-wing liberal supporters – while the former are largely against the marriage of same-sex couples, the latter show more support. The highest opposition rate (71%) was measured among voters of Fidesz, the ruling right-wing party. Voters of the liberal parties Együtt, Párbeszéd, Liberálisok, as well as Lehet Más a Politika (LMP) and Demokratikus Koalíció (DK) would support equal marriage with an absolute majority, while the topic seemed more divisive for voters of the left-wing party Magyar Szocialista Párt (MSZP).\nMarriage Between Same-sex Couples Is About Love and Devotion, Not Political Resolution\nAccording to the research, respondents decisively regard the support of equal marriage as a non-political movement. Only 13% of respondents named political resolution as the main motivation for the cause. In contrast, two-thirds of Hungarians are of the opinion that same-sex couples want to get married as a show of their mutual love and devotion.\nSociety is Less Traditional Than Right-wing Parties Say\nThe results fundamentally refute the most common Hungarian social concept of marriage, which is rooted mainly in conservative views. An overwhelming majority of respondents, 80%, find no fault in a couple living together without being married, and two-thirds do not agree that couples must get married if they are planning to have children. 60% of respondents deny that marriage between same-sex couples would pose a threat to Hungarian families and children – an argument often heard from the opposing side.\nA Quarter of the Hungarian Population Knows or Is Friends with an LGB Person\nClose to 26% of respondents mentioned having lesbian, gay or bisexual people among their acquaintances, which is a definite increase compared to previous research results. 46% of this group stands by same-sex marriage, which is a whopping 10% more than the support rate among the population as a whole. This proves the correlation between personally knowing LGBTQ people and being more supportive towards the topic of marriage or other subjects concerning equal rights and the extension of rights.\nDiscrimination Is a Real and Constant Issue, According to Majority\nAn absolute majority of respondents think that today, gay, lesbian and bisexual people are targeted by discrimination on a regular basis – every second person surveyed agreed with this statement. However, in the case of one sixth of the population, even though they believe LGB people suffer constant discrimination, they do not support equal rights for same-sex couples.\nA Budapest Pride és az Integrity Lab kutatása az egyenlő házasság megítéléséről a magyar társadalomban"

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a well marked low-pressure area lies over north coastal Odisha and neighbourhood. The system is very likely to move west-northwestwards across central India, thereby enhancing the rainfall over central India which also includes Maharashtra during next two days.\nFrom Sunday evening till 8:30 am on Monday, IMD reported 26.6 mm rainfall in the city. Many parts of the city reported continuous rainfall since Sunday night. So far for July, Pune city has received 102.9 mm rainfall.\nIMD has further predicted rainfall in the city till July 22. It has also predicted heavy rainfall in Konkan and Goa, Marathwada, central Maharashtra and Vidarbha till July 20.\nOther parts of the State also experienced good rainfall on Monday i.e. Mahabaleshwar (117 mm), Nashik (21 mm), Kolhapur (36 mm), Solapur (8 mm), Mumbai (15 mm), Dahanu (10 mm), Parbhani (46 mm), Aurangabad (15 mm), Buldhana (4 mm) and Nagpur (13 mm).\nIMD noted that the southwest monsoon has been vigorous over central Maharashtra and Kerala and active over Odisha, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Konkan and Goa, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, coastal Andhra Pradesh and north interior Karnataka. It has been subdued over Arunachal Pradesh and Bihar.\nTill Monday morning, total rainfall during the past 24 hours reported by 354 stations in the plains is 621.1 centimetres. Normal rainfall for these stations is 442.6 centimetres.\nIMD predicted heavy to very heavy rain at isolated places over coastal Karnataka and Kerala till July 20.

Against a normal onset date of June 27, the monsoon is now unlikely to reach Delhi before July 4.\nThe India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said that the revival of southwest monsoon is not expected during this week.\nEven though the monsoon swiftly covered 2/3 geographical areas of the country within the initial days of onset, its advance over Delhi, western Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and the remaining area of Rajasthan is pending.\nSince June 19, the Northern Limit of Monsoon (NLM) continues to pass through Barmer, Bhilwara, Dholpur, Aligarh, Meerut, Ambala and Amritsar.\n\"Prevailing meteorological conditions, large-scale atmospheric features and the forecast wind pattern by the weather models are not favourable and are not likely to develop for the further monsoon advance during the next seven days,\" the IMD stated in its 'Status of Monsoon 2021' statement.\nIt is normal for the monsoon to enter (the current) break phase when most rainfall is concentrated over the east and northeast India regions, whereas the rest of the country — west, central and peninsular India experiences subdued rain, the IMD said.\nMost of the rainfall activity, during June 29-July 3, will largely remain concentrated over the northeastern regions of the country.\nThe IMD has warned of heavy to very heavy rainfall (64.5mm to 204.4mm in 24 hours) over West Bengal, Assam, Sikkim, Nagaland, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura till June 30 and isolated heavy spells over Arunachal Pradesh on June 29 and 30.\n\"With the strengthening of easterly winds, rainfall is expected over north Bihar, north Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh on July 1 and 2,\" it said.\nThere are forecasts of thunderstorms and lightning during the week ahead over Bihar, Chattisgarh and north Madhya Pradesh.\nAs of Sunday, the all-India rainfall for the season so far was 18 per cent surplus. Barring Kerala, Delhi, Manipur, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, all states had either recorded normal or above normal rain.\nJ&K police arrest terror suspect in Jammu, seizes 5.5-kg IED from him\n'Era Of Suppression' In J&K Must End: Mehbooba"

"The northwestern plains of India i.e. Delhi, Punjab, North Rajasthan, Haryana and West Uttar Pradesh have been witnessing isolated light rains since last few days.\nIn fact, light rains were observed over few places of northwestern parts of India in the last 24 hours wherein Aligarh recorded 11 mm of rain, followed by Agra 5 mm and Ludhiana 4 mm.\nThe western end of axis of Monsoon trough has already shifted towards north and at present is passing across Amritsar and Narnaul. We expect the central and eastern to shift towards and gradually not may move further North, leading to increased rains over northwestern plains of India particularly Punjab, Haryana, West Uttar Pradesh and Delhi from tomorrow.\nBut the rain intensity will not be much, as West Haryana and North Rajasthan will only witness scattered light rains. Bhiwani, Sirsa, Hanumangarh and Sri Ganganagar. Rest all places will witness light to moderate rainfall activity.\nThese weather conditions are expected to continue till August 25.\nThereafter, intensity will reduce but weather will not become absolutely dry, scattered patchy rains will continue after that also but temperatures may increase after August 25. Till then weather will become pleasant due to the on and off rains and cloud cover."

"Heavy rains predicted across North India over next 2 days; flood situation grim in Kerala, Karnataka\nThe India Meteorological Department has predicted heavy rainfall activity in several north Indian states including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi over the next two days. The situation is likely to continue till August 20.\n\"The monsoon trough remains active with the Well Marked Low Pressure Area lying embedded in it over northeast Rajasthan and adjoining areas of northwest Madhya Pradesh and southwest Uttar Pradesh. The Well Marked Low Pressure Area is very likely to move gradually along the monsoon trough and weaken after 48 hours,\" said the IMD in an all India weather forecast statement on Friday.\n\"Widespread rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy and extremely heavy falls are very likely\" in Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, West Uttar Pradesh and western Himalayan region over the next 48 to 72 hours.\nEnhanced rainfall activity with \"isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall\" is likely to lash across sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam and Meghalaya during next two to three days.\nMeanwhile, rains accompanied with thunder showers was witnessed across the country especially in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Goa, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Gujarat, West Bengal, Sikkim, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh.\nIn Kerala, death toll in floods mounted to 104 on Thursday afternoon, said the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA). Malappuram remained the most affected district where 43 people have lost their lives so far. Among 14 affected-districts, 17 deaths were reported from Kozhikode, 12 from Wayanad, and 9 from Kannur.According to data, a total of 1,75,373 people are staying at 1,057 rescue and relief camps across the state.\nThe death toll due floods and rains in Karnataka mounted to 61, said the official data released by Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC).

"If anything this month, April showered our clinic in Lopez Mateos with an abundance of dentists. We had 4 dentist working plus a hygienist with the 4 chairs we have in operation. Of course they rocked to music with a tune of 27 dental consultations and 11 other folks walking away with brighter smiles. Imagine how much more will be accomplished after we add two more dental chairs this summer! That process will cause us to relocate paediatric across the hall as we knok out another wall at clinic. However, paediatric saw 22 children this month while general medicine treated 44 other folks. 19 ladies saw OBgyn and 11 patients in need of prosthetic limbs were helped. Our chiropractic staff adjusted 117 people. This all brings April's patient count to 251 folks treated for one thing or another. I am so humbled to have a small part in this huge humanitarian effort of the Flying Samaritans."

"Jamaica Mission 2016 – Part 2: Clinic Set Up\nBy DMCSeptember 29, 2016January 26th, 2023DMC News & Events, Michael's Operatory, Outreach\nThis is the second blog about our second dental outreach trip to Jamaica. Here's the first blog, wherein I mainly talked about preparing to go down and how much better we were at it (compared to 2015!). Now, in this blog, I'm going to be telling some stories about what happened in the clinics. The good, the bad, and the really ugly stuff… And how we had to adapt to keep going. In the next blog, I'll talk about some of the funny things that happened in and outside of the clinics. In the fourth blog, I'll discuss some shock and awe that we experienced. And in the final blog, I'll talk about reverse culture shock.\nBy way of background, our Canadian contingent was pretty much divided into 3 groups: a small resort clinic (which had 1 dentist + 1 hygienist + 1 assistant and who worked on resort staff); a clinic at the Town of Little London and another clinic at the settlement of Grange Hill. The latter 2 clinics had about 12 or so volunteers.\nTeam Little London!\nTeam Grange Hill (with community volunteers!)\nClinic Set Up\nEach clinic had 7 chairs. 2 of those chairs were used for hygiene. 1 chair for a dental student. And the remaining 4 chairs for dentists. We had a sterilization room with 2 autoclaves, ultrasonic bath, etc. In terms of sundries, we would initially set up the clinic with what we thought we needed and then make a supplies list every day for things we needed. Then we'd just go to the supplies room back at the resort and pack up what we needed for the next day. That's how we got through the week. Our supplies were pretty well organized at the clinic.\nOver the course of the 5 days that we volunteers, harsh working conditions coupled with equipment failures made it difficult (but not impossible) to work. Over at Little London, here's how dental hygienist Jazz Chohan described it:\n\"Where do I start? Ergonomically, this was the worst week of my life. I've worked the hardest I've ever worked. My arm was killing me by day 3. My chair stopped going back. I couldn't use suction. I didn't have water. So no cavitron. The next day, they sent me a cavitron that didn't work. I was doing hand scale the entire week. I do hand scaling at home; but I've never done anything this. Our compressors kept failing; we only had 1 sterilizer for most of the week until we got a second one. The second one came was taking too long (old autoclave); took a long time to get things cleaned vs. the 30 minutes for the other one. There were set backs with the availability of the equipment and also the use; assistant wasn't trained so he wasn't putting things into the autoclave strategically.\"\nTypical work station over at Little London\nDental Hygienist Jazz Chohan\nOver at Grange Hill, we had cavitrons stop working, compressors fail (due to fuses being tripped), equipment not being available (we were waiting a few times for syringes to get sterilized). On our first day there, our saliva ejectors weren't fitting properly into our adec units! Oh no!\nHere's the key thing to remember: be prepared for things to stop working. When they do, try your best to fix them and when you can't, call in the experts. There were a few guys like Oshane and Roshane and Richard who worked with Great Shape! Inc. and who were sometimes available to help us with our equipment problems. But when they weren't around and it didn't look like we were going to get a working cavitron, we had to IMPROVISE. In our case, when we didn't have syringes ready, I put all of our hygienists to work doing cleanings. This gave the dentists a break. Only 2 cavitrons were working and we typically had 5 hygienists, so I would send the little boys and girls to 3 hygienists to do hand-scaling and the older folks would go to the hygienists who were using the cavitrons. Then, once we got the syringes working again, the hygienists went back to assisting the dentists on extractions and fillings. Like I said: ADAPT! And when we noticed that the saliva ejectors weren't fitting, we made some 'adapters' by cutting other surgical saliva ejectors to make it all work. And it did!\nAnother way in which we had to adapt involved registration. At first, it was just me doing registrations alongside DJ of Great Shape! Inc. Then we decided to get Dr. Christina Bodea to do triage. And her husband Stefan Atalick started helping out with the ticketing system. Things were going slow, but people were getting registered. But because we had a huge lineup outside our door on the first day, we needed to speed things up. So we decided to set up another table and have more people help with registration. This helped ease the tension and it definitely sped things up. I would register people on Mondays through Wednesday and DJ would register on Thursdays and Fridays. I only wish we would have done this from the beginning!\nGrange Hill Set Up\nTeam Grange Hill getting instructions from Oshane about equipment\nOver at Little London, they also had to adapt to their environment. They had a hygienist named Carla (their team leader who had done this mission trip before) who was able to freeze patients so the doctors would simply come over and start their treatment. She was trained in the U.S. on how to do this; apparently, Canadian hygienists aren't allowed. This helped speed things up at their clinic. Another way in which team Little London got ahead of the 8 ball was by dividing the roles of patient intake (Jonathan Borrelli, DMC LLP) and patient flow (Anthony Archer, Henry Schein) after the first day. This helped speed things up tremendously.\nFYI, here's a cool time lapse video I took of us working a FULL day at Grange Hill.\n2016 eventsdental outreachvolunteer\nDental Service Organizations\nDMC News & Events\nMichael's Operatory\nDMC News & Updates January 16, 2023\nEmployment Law Changes & Updates January 3, 2023\nWhy Dentists Should Consider A Corporate Rollover January 25, 2023\nPatient Complains Against Dentist and Patient Loses January 17, 2023\nPost-Holiday Checkup – Is Your Practice Ready for 2023?

"Regiment 'may be lost'\nTHE Cheshire Regiment is reportedly fighting for its life as part of a Government battle to solve an Army 'manpower crisis'.\nThe regiment is said to be among five infantry battalions which could lose their identities in an attempt by Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon to solve a 'recruitment problem'.\nAs a result, 2,000 troops could be forced to serve with rival regiments within the next 18 months. Regimental names and cap badges will be retained, but these might disappear in time.\nThe threats to five battalions, including the Cheshire Regiment, were revealed by The Mail on Sunday.\nThe report stated senior Army officers will resist the proposed shake-up, which is said to result from the failure of a campaign to attract sufficient recruits to the Army, apparently nearly 5,000 short of its 108,000 target.\nBattalions said to be at risk of merger include the Cheshire Regiment, the 1st Battalion, The Highlanders, The King's Own Scottish Borderers, The King's Regiment and The Queen's Lancashire Regiment.\nMinistry of Defence (MoD) chiefs have attacked the report for naming individual regiments, but say a White Paper will be published in the autumn which will detail proposals to restructure the British Army.\nThey admit they cannot rule out changes within the Cheshire Regiment, but say infantry units will not be disbanded.\nA MoD spokeswoman denied a recruitment problem and said: 'The article in The Mail on Sunday is pure speculation.\n'The naming of individual units in this article is damaging to soldiers, some of who are serving in Iraq, and their families.'\nAsked whether specific regiments could face mergers, or soldiers from the Cheshire Regiment be forced to serve in rival regiments, the spokeswoman said: 'We will not be able to announce any changes, if there are going to be any, until the publication of the White Paper in the autumn.'\nBut Mid Cheshire MP Stephen O'Brien fears the Cheshire Regiment will be amalgamated with another regiment.\nIn 2001 he claimed the future of the regiment was under threat following a leaked Government report. At the time Mr O'Brien said the report revealed plans to cut Britain's defence budget by £1.2 billion, and feared it would hit up to 10 infantry and tank units.\nSpeaking this week, the Winsford and Northwich MP said: 'It is dispiriting yet again to find that the Cheshire Regiment may have its unique identity threatened.\n'For some years I and my colleagues in the opposition have been criticising the Government for putting the Army generally under such pressure.\n'This is not a question of a crisis of recruitment, it is Tony Blair and Gordon Brown not making the resources available to keep the Army up to capacity for the commitments which the Labour Government rely upon it to discharge.\n'The strong rumours circulating in Westminster and Whitehall and leaks from Ministry of Defence, which I have been aware of for at least a couple of months, as well as the initial scare a couple of years ago, demonstrate to me that the Cheshire Regiment is being considered by the MoD for an amalgamation.'\nHe added: ' I shall be resisting any move which the Government may propose in its White Paper in the autumn to diminish the identity and role of the Cheshire Regiment.'"

Among other harmful provisions, it would allow rushed logging projects up to 30,000 acres—46 square miles—without public notice or scientific assessment of potential harm to the environment as required under the National Environmental Policy Act.\n\"The bill would render forest plans meaningless, roll back measures designed to protect old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest, waive protections for waterways and water quality across the national forest system, promote harmful logging in otherwise protected roadless areas and force the Forest Service to ignore potential harm to thousands of imperiled species.\n\"It would also give private landowners with easements on public land full ownership of that land and allow herbicides to be sprayed without reviewing the harm to water, fish and wildlife.\nIn the first four months of the 115th Congress, Republicans have introduced more than 80 bills that attack public lands, weaken environmental safeguards on those lands or turn over control to states and local governments.

"Reimbursement Claims in a Divorce Case\nAn issue that is commonplace in a divorce case is when one party is requesting that their estate be reimbursed for payments made to community liabilities. A major question asks by the parties is \"what is reimbursement\" and \"how much can I get reimbursed\"?\nWhat does a claim for reimbursement include?\nReimbursement includes a) payment by one marital estate of the unsecured liabilities of another marital estate; b) inadequate compensation for the time, toil, talent, and effort of a spouse by a business entity under the control and direction of that spouse; c) the reduction of the principal amount of a debt secured by a lien on property owned before marriage, to the extent the debt existed at the time of marriage; d) the reduction of the principal amount of a debt secured by a lien on property received by a spouse by gift, devise, or descent during a marriage, to the extent the debt existed at the time the property was received.\nWhat about the reduction of the principal amount of that part of a debt, including a home equity loan?\nYes, reimbursement for the reduction of the principal amount of a debt including a home equity loan provided that incurred during a marriage; secured by a lien on property; and incurred for the acquisition of, or for capital improvements to, property.\nAdditionally, reimbursement claims is allowed for the reduction of the principal amount of that part of a debt incurred during a marriage; secured by a lien on property owned by a spouse; for which the creditor agreed to look for repayment solely to the separate marital estate of the spouse on whose property the lien attached; and incurred for the acquisition of, or for capital improvements to, property.\nWhat about the refinancing of the principal amount to the extent the refinancing reduces that principal amount in a manner described by capital improvements to property other than by incurring debt; and the reduction by the community property estate of an unsecured debt incurred by the separate estate of one of the spouses.\nThe court shall resolve a claim for reimbursement by using equitable principles, including the principle that claims for reimbursement may be offset against each other if the court determines it to be appropriate.\nHowever, benefits for the use and enjoyment of property may be offset against a claim for reimbursement for expenditures to benefit a marital estate, except that the separate estate of a spouse may not claim an offset for use and enjoyment of a primary or secondary residence owned wholly or partly by the separate estate against contributions made by the community estate to the separate estate.\nReimbursement for funds expended by a marital estate for improvements to another marital estate shall be measured by the enhancement in value to the benefited marital estate.\nThe party seeking an offset to a claim for reimbursement has the burden of proof with respect to the offset.\nAre there additional categories of reimbursement claims?\nThe Texas Family Code expressly precludes a separate property estate from asserting an offset for the use and enjoyment of property against a claim for reimbursement brought by the community estate with respect to a primary or secondary residence. In other words, if a spouse purchases a residence before marriage and, during the marriage, the spouses live in that residence and reduce the indebtedness against that residence, the use and enjoyment of the separate-property residence cannot be asserted as an offset to a claim by the community estate for reimbursement of, for example, monies used to reduce the mortgage indebtedness.\nIn the case, Vallone v. Vallone, 644 S.W.2d 455 (Tex. 1982), when separate property is combined with community time, talent, and labor, and both the community and the separate estate make claim upon the incremental increase in value, the courts are confronted with conflicting principles of marital property law. It is fundamental that any property or rights acquired by one of the spouses after marriage by toil, talent, industry, or other productive faculty belongs to the community estate. Nevertheless, the law contemplates that a spouse may expend a reasonable amount of talent or labor in the management and preservation of the spouse's separate estate without impressing a community character upon that estate.\nIn the case, In re Marriage of McCoy & Els, 488 S.W.3d 430 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2016, no pet.), the Court found that in order to support a reimbursement claim, evidence must establish the enhanced value that resulted from the related capital improvements themselves.\nIn Moroch v. Collins, a marital property agreement that waives and releases each spouse's present and future claims for reimbursement against the other's separate estate does not necessarily waive and release reimbursement claims against the community estate.\nReimbursement claims in any divorce action can become complicated and require the party to invest time and money to trace and characterize funds involved in the claim. It is important to evaluate any reimbursement claim upon filing for divorce so that proper discovery of documents is done to lay the foundation for a reimbursement claim."

"The work of the Board of Trustees requires unusual dedication. The Trustees commit time, energy, and personal resources to the work of the College, and, through the College, to the good of the community. By law, members of the Board, with the exception of the secretary and treasurer, may not receive compensation of any kind for their services. By College tradition, the secretary and treasurer of the Board also serve without compensation. Board members may, however, be reimbursed for expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. This policy sets out the guidelines for compensation and reimbursement of local expenses for the Washtenaw Community College Board of Trustees. Conference and travel expenses are addressed in the Board of Trustees Policy on Board Travel.\nNo member of the Board of Trustees of Washtenaw Community College shall receive compensation for services rendered as a member of the Board.\nBoard members may receive reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in the course of their duties as Board members. Reimbursable expenses may include: office supplies, mileage, the cost of an additional fax/computer line used primarily for College business, and the cost of subscriptions. These expenses may be reimbursed upon submittal of the expense reimbursement form with appropriate receipts to the Secretary to the Board.\nAs an alternative to receiving reimbursement, Board members may request a written confirmation from the President of the College that expenses were incurred by the member and were not reimbursed by the College. Such confirmation may be used by the Board member in claiming a deduction on the member's personal income tax return. The deductibility of any given expense is dependent on federal and state tax law and the member's individual circumstances."

"Home News Nuclear What Can Be Taken From Iran Nuclear Deal Negotiations to Ensure Same...\nWhat Can Be Taken From Iran Nuclear Deal Negotiations to Ensure Same Mistakes Do Not Happen With North Korea?\nIn recent days, there has also been much talk about a potential nuclear deal with North Korea's Kim Jong-un.\nSome believe that North Korea has been keen to negotiate since it saw how Iran's negotiations with world powers went. That is to say, negotiations for Iran were immensely successful because it was able to dictate many terms. Iran received many concessions throughout negotiations. For example, Iran argued that its ballistic missile program should not be addressed under the scope of the nuclear deal because it is not a nuclear issue. The program was left unchallenged.\nIran's nuclear deal is also weak and has countless holes in it. Iran was aggressive and still ended up with the right to enrich uranium under the terms of the nuclear deal. This has a very troubling message it appears that North Korea has picked up on it because it is racking up its nuclear capabilities and has had the confidence to be aggressive, like Iran.\nIran came out the winner of the nuclear negotiations. The United States had the perfect opportunity to properly address Iran's nuclear threat. However, it was a missed opportunity. Some, including Trump, have argued that the deal had the opposite effect than intended because it basically guaranteed that Iran takes the slow path to a nuclear weapon.\nFurthermore, the nuclear deal negotiations would have been the perfect time to nail Iran's other worrying actives down including its meddling in the Middle East and its mistreatment of people at home.\nIran is involved in all of the conflicts in the Middle East and it is responsible for some horrifying crimes against humanity and abuses of human rights. The people of Iran have very little freedom and the people are subjected to horrors that belong in the past.\nThe European signatories of the deal are taking Trump's promises to pull out of it seriously and are taking steps to strengthen the agreement.\nIt is clear that Iran needs to be dealt with firmly. Former President Barack Obama's policies of appeasement were highly ineffective and did nothing to improve Iran's behaviour. In fact, Iran's behaviour got worse.\nSince taking office, Trump has put pressure on Iran and it has finally got the message that the so-called \"golden days\" of Obama are now over. Trump made it very clear that he would not turn a blind eye to Iran's belligerence and he would not ignore its provocations and threats. The strategy is paying off. For example, since Trump warned that any vessels provoking the US Navy would be \"blown\" out of the sea, the frequent provocations carried out by Iran ceased.\nFirmness is a must.\nPrevious articleIran's Quest to Dominate Iraqi Government\nNext articleIran Regime's Poor Management of Water Resources and Unprecedented Drought\nTo Make Iran Compromise on Nuclear Issues, European Policy Should Focus Elsewhere\nTehran Builds New Nuclear Site in Fordo, Breaches JCPOA\nFakhrizadeh's Death Causes Confusion Among Iranian Officials\nIran: Ayatollahs' Losing Bet on Sanctions Relief\nNCRI Exposes New Covert Nuclear Sites in Iran"

"Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection\nThe Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection was created in 1985 by Rule VIII of the Supreme Court Rules for the Government of the Bar. Its purpose is to reimburse losses to legal clients as a result of the dishonest conduct of a licensed Ohio attorney.\nBoard Members & Staff\nGov. Bar R VIII\nAttorney Responsibilities\nClaims Process\nExamples of Claims\nBoard of Professional Conduct\nBoard on the Unauthorized Practice of Law\nSupreme Court Attorney Information Search\nWhat is The Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection?\nThe Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection was established in 1985 by the Supreme Court of Ohio. The Fund was established to reimburse law clients who have lost money or property as a result of dishonest conduct by their lawyer.

"Can your business be reimbursed for legal fees when you file suit to collect money due? | Tucker Arensberg, P.C.\nCan your business be reimbursed for legal fees when you file suit to collect money due?\nI often assist my business clients with collections matters. Frequently my clients ask, \"Can we make them pay your legal fees?\" If your business has a well-written contract and is successful in the collections lawsuit, the answer is often yes.\nGenerally, parties to litigation follow what is known as the \"American Rule\" – all parties pay their own legal fees. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule. One of those exceptions is when there is a contract providing for the recovery of legal fees if the business has to sue to get the bill paid.\nIt is surprising how many standard contracts neglect to include language that provides for the recovery of attorney's fees and legal costs if collections actions are necessary. All small businesses should examine their standard contracts to determine whether such a provision exists. If not, they should consult an attorney to add appropriate language. This will allow the business to ask for reimbursement of the legal fees that they will incur when chasing after unpaid bills.\nHowever, I always caution my clients that the recovery of any such legal fees is not unlimited and must be proportional to the amount the business is seeking to collect.\nOne of the services that I offer my clients is to review and revise their standard form contracts, and provide advice on the most efficient and cost-effective methods to collect on outstanding accounts. Please contact me if you are interested in this kind of assistance.\nDanielle Dietrich is a litigation shareholder at Tucker Arensberg, P.C. and represents small businesses in a variety of legal matters.

"Often, medical bills arrive after a MassHealth application has been approved, and the MassHealth applicant is out of funds to pay these bills. At that point, MassHealth should be asked to allow payment out of the MassHealth recipient's income. In 2011, MassHealth (the Massachusetts Medicaid program) was criticized by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for its failure to follow federal law, which allows previous medical bills to be paid out of a MassHealth recipient's income.

"A recent ruling of the Rhode Island Supreme Court confirmed the priority status of Rhode Island Department of Human Service liens for the payment of nursing home bills through its medical assistance program. In In Re Estate of May Manchester, the estate administrator failed to notify the DHS that an estate has commenced, as required by statute. Several years later when the DHS learned that the estate had been opened, it sought to file a claim against the estate to recoup almost $100,000 it had paid for Ms. Manchester's nursing home bills notwithstanding the fact that the six month deadline for filing claims had expired two and a half years earlier. The Supreme Court upheld the ruling of the Warren Probate Court which allowed the late claim because the administrator of the estate knew that the DHS was a creditor but ignored the statutory requirement to notify all \"reasonably ascertainable creditors.\""

"Nursing Home Not Permitted to Recover Attorney's Fees\nAn Oregon appeals court rules that\nforeclosing on a lien to recover the costs of a resident's care does\nnot allow a nursing home to also recover attorney's fees pursuant to a\ncontract with the resident's agent. King City Rehab, LLC v. Clackamas County (Or. Ct. App., No. CV05020792; A132436, Aug. 1, 2007).\nSmirnes' son, Richard, entered into a contract with King City Rehab for\nher nursing home care. The contract provided that if King City was\nrequired to hire an attorney to pursue collection efforts, Ms. Smirnes\nwould pay reasonable attorney's fees and cost. Richard paid the monthly\nbill until his death two years later, after which Ms. Smirnes' bill\nremained unpaid.

The trial court ruled that Senior Gap had\ntendered full payment of the lien, and King City appealed.\nOregon Court of Appeals affirms, finding that the statutory language\nunambiguously provides for a lien for the \"cost of care,\" and that,\ndespite King City's contention to the contrary, this does not include\nattorney's fees. The court notes that where it wished to do so, the\nOregon legislature expressly allowed attorney's fees. \"[F]or whatever\nreason,\" the court writes, \"King City did not bring an action to\nenforce the terms of its contract…,\" instead instituting a lien\nforeclosure action.\nSorry, comments for this entry are closed at this time."

Chicago Gaming and Planetary Pinball are pleased to offer the rebirth, under license from Williams Electronics Games, Inc. Of the original smash hit pinball machine, Medieval Madness. Recreated to the exacting standards of the original game this remake contains a number of enhanced features not available on the original game, including: modern electronics, fully adjustable color display, all LED lighting, and class D digital audio amplifier. Medieval Madness is widely held to be one of the best pinball machines of all time. This status coupled with the fact only 4,000 of these games were built has driven the resale value of the original game beyond the reach of most pinball collectors. Whether you are a pinball novice or expert, you'll come to appreciate the game�s universally appealing gameplay, which includes the exploding castle, motorized drawbridge and two pop-up trolls. Your mission in this multi-ball game is to battle for the kingdom! Step back in time to the middle ages of the 15th century where kingdoms were fought and lost for. Never replace a bulb again! Medieval Madness features all LED lighting. Great effort was invested in recreating the warmth and feel of the original incandescent bulbs with the modern reliability of LEDs. MMRs system hardware and software slowly ramp LED brightness up and down to emulate the look of the original incandescent bulbs. Each playfield inserts is backlit by a cluster of three LEDs which are driven only to one-third the manufacturer�s specified maximum brightness. Should any of the three LEDs in a single insert cluster ever fail, the system hardware will automatically increase the brightness of the remaining LEDs to compensate for the failed LED. This redundancy, coupled with the long life of the LEDs, means most owners of the Medieval Madness remake will never replace a single lamp over the games lifetime. The new features menu allows the operators to. Set the display color. Adjust the speed at which LED bulbs ramp up and down. Adjust the strength of coils. Adjust the shaker motor strength; and.

"Back to Our Policies\nIntelligence is best described as the collection, organisation, analysis and refinement of both secret and freely available information on the behalf of decision makers or members of government. Due to South Africa's recent history, intelligence policy is a highly controversial area of government which, by virtue of its very nature, is shrouded with secrecy. The intelligence doctrine of the present government is largely influenced by the ideology of social engineering and state intervention, and is contrary to the IFP's vision of a limited state role in civil society. The intrusive and all pervading mission of existing intelligence organisations in South Africa reflects the massive centralisation of government and a pre-occupation with planning as a basis for sustained government intervention.\nCovert intelligence\nThe IFP intelligence policy subscribes to a minimalist view of the role of covert intelligence, and focuses more on foreign intelligence collection, in the pursuit of an informed foreign policy, and less on covert actions against the citizens of South Africa. In the past, South Africa has witnessed a proliferation of intelligence structures and this has undermined the issues for accountability and transparency. The IFP therefore supports the establishment of a single domestic intelligence agency and a single foreign intelligence agency.\nDomestic intelligence capability\nThe domestic intelligence agency should serve as a co-ordinating and processing point for all information collected by government institutions, but should have an exclusive monopoly over covert collection. Its covert collection role must function within the rule of law at all times, and all specific violations of the rights of individual citizens must be individually sanctioned by an independent judicial body. Covert intelligence collection capabilities should be limited by the parameters of clearly defined legislation and constitutional provisions, and should be subject to strict budgetary control.\nForeign intelligence capability\nSouth Africa's foreign intelligence requirements are determined by levels of internal stability and its relations with the outside world. Given South Africa's limited and diminishing military capabilities, and the growing role which it is playing in the sub-continent, it is imperative that its foreign intelligence capabilities be refined and perfected. These capabilities must serve as an efficient and accurate early warning system to enable the country to prepare itself for any contingency. It must also at all times be dedicated to the provision of analysed information to assist and underpin foreign policy formulation. The accuracy and quality of such intelligence can, and should, be enhanced by the exchange of intelligence with allies and friendly nations – both regionally and internationally.\nThe IFP believes that intelligence structures need to be accountable to parliamentary institutions to prevent their subversion and abuse by the government of the day in the pursuit of its own narrow agenda.\nDue to the specialised and sensitive nature of intelligence institutions, they must be rigidly accountable to a single member of the executive – preferably the President – who should bear ultimate responsibility for intelligence activities.\nParliamentary monitoring of intelligence organisations\nThe IFP strongly supports the establishment of a parliamentary intelligence monitoring committee with specialist independent research staff capable of monitoring all intelligence activities. Well defined mechanisms need to be put in place to ensure the independence of this committee, and its members, who risk subversion by the very institutions they are charged with monitoring.\nTo enable parliament to adequately fulfill its intelligence activity monitoring role, much of the cult of secrecy traditionally associated with this domain of government needs to be removed. Obsessive secrecy has proven to be a breeding ground for sustained abuse of intelligence capabilities by the government of the day, and is unnecessary in modern democracies. The internal intelligence operatives must be subject to a rigid code of conduct to ensure political neutrality and independence.\nSouth Africa needs to make a clean break from the past in the sphere of intelligence. The former government had a long tradition of abuse with regard to intelligence resources. By virtue of its position in government and in parliament, the IFP can play a crucial role in terminating and preventing such abuses.\nThe unique nature of intelligence activities require a stricter interpretation of the principle of the separation of powers than is normally applied. The role of intelligence should be truly placed within the scope of national interest, rather than the narrower pursuits of the ruling party.\nCounter-intelligence\nThe counter-intelligence role is a crucial one in any modern democracy and the IFP believes that South Africa's requirements in this field should be shaped by its position as an emerging country which is competing for foreign markets in a highly competitive environment.\nExplore other policies"

"A certain Frederico Links wrote an article, titled, 'The rise of the Namibian Surveillance State' which appeared twice in The Namibian newspaper – of Friday 16 February 2018 and Friday 23 February 2018. In his article, Frederico argues that, \"The formalising of repressive tendencies and security creep should become major concerns on the Namibian political and democratic landscape this year as a number of proposed policy initiatives threaten to undermine a range of constitutionally enshrined human rights.\" He further reported that the Namibia Central Intelligence Service (NCIS) buying CellXion's IMSI-catcher machine, and the proposed SIM card registration regime – as major areas of concern. In my considered view, Frederico missed the point why every country has an institution of government such as NCIS and the acquisition of CellXion's IMSI-catcher. To spy on citizen/s is the least on the priority list of execution of any progressive government. Only a predatory or failed government can spy on its citizens. Intelligence must be understood as a vital instrument of the state and a profession which satisfies a patriotic desire. Intelligence is about protecting the country and citizens from external and internal threats; it is about economic security, environmental security, social security, protecting visitors, properties and natural resources, etc. Frederico ought to focus on a broader picture of intelligence than limiting himself on spying. Although intelligence is secret by nature, a better understanding, application and relevance of intelligence in democracy and national development must be shared. In security studies, we were meant to understand that intelligence is the secret information collected about an enemy, opponent, anybody or a place. This information is discovered, discriminated to assess its reliability and accuracy and thereafter disseminated to the authority for possible action. This is a costly exercise, which requires more money and patriotic support because information is power. Without adequate relevant information forget about Vision 2030 or Harambee Prosperity Plan. If applied correctly, intelligence can provide valuable information on the best way to organize and run our democracy or development based on the best practices of other successful nations. To win the war against corruption we need intelligence. Money meant for development but which have been diverted into personal pockets can and has been recovered and recycled back into national development process because of the use of intelligence. To successfully defend the territory and national interests of Namibia requires a lot of intelligence. We can use intelligence to acquire new technology in industrial, military, investments and other areas of development. Therefore spying on individual citizens is not the primary focus of an intelligence officer/agent. The intelligence officer or \"assets\" are required to uphold professional ethical set standards. Namibian missions abroad must make use of a diplomatic bag/pouch and transmit useful information which can add value to Namibia's natural resources, solve our macro-economic challenges, medical advancement, energy supply, food security, policy options, develop new products to use or sell and other innovative ways of doing things. This should be the primary focus of intelligence than spying on innocent citizens. As a democratic country, Namibia is credited for a swift, smooth and successful presidential transition from the first president, second president, to the third president and this too requires a lot of intelligence. Escalating gender-based violence, cross-border crimes, terrorism and others crimes require intelligence to lift the dark cloud of suspicion and fears of what will happen next. The authority requires information in full and on time in order to take precise decisions in the best interest of the country and its people and not individuals' interest as suggested by Frederico. It is true, as citizens we have the right to privacy, freedom of association, freedom of expression but one might argue that we do not have absolute rights or freedoms. Our rights are limited which is equally a constitutional provision. Therefore, CellXion's IMSI-catcher, code named as \"The man-in-the-middle attack (MITM)\" as popularly called at the military school has more functions than spying. It will be correct to state that Frederico's reporting has compromised our national security and he must be cautioned, immediately, just like Minister Penda ya Ndakolo's reckless speech in the National Assembly on the N$45 million Orupoko farm purchase, which equally compromised the security operations of the country. The minister too, must be reprimanded. His special advisor must be transferred to a non-security related ministry. Not all military or intelligence acquisitions must be made known to the public. Doing so compromises national security. As civilians, our views are civilian in nature but the fact of the matter is what is happening in Nigeria of the unfortunate missing girls, piracy in the sea, drones all over the globe and cybercrimes, can equally happen in Namibia if intelligence is not fully supported by all of us.. * Charles Siyauya holds a Master of Arts Degree in Security and Strategic Studies from the Military School: Faculty of Sciences, University of Namibia.

"SA youth enticed into intelligence field\nSoweto - The State Security Agency is on a drive to attract South Africa's youth into the intelligence community.\nAs part of the Youth Month celebrations, State Security Deputy Minister Ellen Molekane on Wednesday, educated learners at the Morris Isaacson High School, in Soweto, about career opportunities in the intelligence field.\nThe school in its humble façade holds a strong significance to the events of 16 June 1976. It is where the students' protest is said to have gained momentum after starting at Naledi High School in the southwestern end of the township.\nSpeaking to the learners, Deputy Minister Molakane, who was also a student at the school some 40 years ago, said serving the country in the intelligence field means \"one is patriotic and you believe in and respect the Constitution of the country and the security and the wellbeing of your fellow South Africans\".\n\"It means you work to protect your country against enemies by gathering information, which you then analyse to determine whether there is a threat or not against us or whether there is an economic opportunity which our country should take advantage of,\" she told the leaners who had braved the cold morning to listen to her in-between their June examinations.\nThis analysis, she said, then allows the president of the country and government to take decisions that will make South Africa succeed in developing the economy.\n\"This information also makes us understand and get to know which countries in the world share our views and regard them as our friends. That is what intelligence is about.\"\nThe Deputy Minister also educated leaners about the role of intelligence in a democratic South Africa.\nThe main and primary role of the State Security Agency, she said, is to safeguard the Constitution, uphold fundamental rights, promote security, stability, cooperation and development, in South Africa, as well as the achievement of national prosperity and contribute to global peace and promotion of the ability to face foreign threats and enhance competitiveness in a dynamic world.\n\"Intelligence work is not about what we usually see in the spy movies all the time. Intelligence work is a respectable and noble profession. We are the guardians of peace, democracy and the Constitution.\"\nShe then went on to detail the career opportunities in the intelligence services.\nThese include the political science, international affairs or politics, economics, sociology, information technology, physics, mathematics, law, foreign languages, human resources and electrical engineering.\nDeputy Minister Molakane said the department's target was to train young operatives, especially women in economic intelligence, a field that was critical in a developing nation.\nOnce the learners have completed their area of study, the agency will then put them on the South African National Academy of Intelligence established in North West 10 years ago.\nThere as candidates, they would have had to complete a rigorous screening process. This was to ensure the service recruited the best possible candidates.\nExcited learners had a flood of questions for the Deputy Minister, ranging from bursary opportunities, terrorism in the continent, the work of the intelligence in addressing the attacks on people from other African countries as well as the life of a spy.\n\"The world of intelligence is an exciting world. It is a world where we work quietly without seeking personal glory.\n\"We need all personalities and welcome everyone from all cultural backgrounds because, as a country with different cultures, languages and race groups, we can better understand the world and what is happening around us and be able to give our government reliable information and analysis so that it can best respond to the needs of all of us,\" she said.\nMatriculant Simamkhele Lesele, 17, told SAnews that she would consider a career in the agency.\n\"I am very passionate about my country and judging by what the Deputy Minister told us, it looks like there are many opportunities for learning within the field.\"\nAnother learner Ntando Mpunzi, 18, said he never dreamed that such opportunities were available in South Africa.\n\"I wanted to study political science after matric. With such opportunities I guess I can be able to study my field of interest and look for job opportunities into the intelligence which would be like killing two birds with one stone for me as I have always been intrude by their work,\" said Mpunzi, adding that he had always been excited by the world of spies.\n\"I normally watch the spy movies as they just add excitement to the secret world.\" - SAnews.gov.za"

"19th December 2017 16th July 2019 IAD user\nDigitisation at Edinburgh\nWe have just launched the first ever Digitisation Strategy for the University of Edinburgh. The University has world-class collections of books, archives, art and museum objects, whose potential for learning and teaching can be unlocked through digitisation. We are investing in a new programme of digitisation so there is more online content for students and teachers to use. This follows a consultation run in the first half of 2017 which showed that there was a strong demand for more resources of this kind.\nDigitisation is the process of representing books, documents, recordings or objects as digital information. It can make analogue sources accessible to anyone with an internet connection, across the world. Digitisation is used to preserve and share information and to widen access to rare and fragile heritage material. The digitisation process is carried out by specialist staff including photographers, audio-visual technicians, digital curators and developers. It can be carried out in different ways depending on the nature of the material and the needs of the user. The resulting content is normally put online. At the University of Edinburgh we have an open by default approach, so, if we can, we will make everything freely available to anyone who wants to use it using a Creative Commons CC BY licence (although we have to comply with current Data Protection and Copyright legislation).\nWe digitise items from the University of Edinburgh's own collections, as in the case of the current project to digitise the entire collection of University Theses. We also digitise material owned by other institutions as part of partnership projects, as in the case of the current project to digitise the Scottish Session Papers in collaboration with the Faculty of Advocates and Signet Library. Digitisation of content is part of the Library's overall digital offering which includes the wide range of e-resources produced elsewhere, both licensed and open access. An overview of all the University collections and a gateway to those collections which have already been digitised is available on the website.\nAt present we only have about 2% of the collections digitised so we need to set priorities going forward. We have already decided to complete the digitisation of the University's iconic items, the 50 best-known and most frequently-requested treasures. However, we are keen to get more feedback from University teachers and learners on what items they would like to be digitised, the kind of digitisation that would be beneficial, and how they would use the new digitised content. We are going to set up new processes for University staff to select and request items for digitisation, but meanwhile we want to do some pilot work to incorporate digitised content into selected course resource lists. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss a specific course in relation to this.\nLonger-term, we think there are opportunities for digitisation to help the University develop some really different approaches to teaching and learning. This might include more interactive content, where students are involved in the selection and creation of digitised images and further work such as transcription or conversion into structured data. We would be delighted to hear from teachers and learners, either about the Strategy or about ideas and requests for digitised content as part of particular courses. Please contact me at [email protected].\nJoseph Marshall\nJoseph Marshall is Head of Special Collections and the Centre for Research Collections at Edinburgh University Library.

The digital resources are freely accessible to senior secondary school teachers and students in Hong Kong on the Hong Kong Education City website.\n\"Society & Culture: Life in Hong Kong under 'One Country, Two Systems'\" is one of the compulsory parts of the New Senior Secondary (NSS) Liberal Studies curriculum. Students need to collect, analyse and discuss topics relating to the Basic Law, legal-political system, and socio-economic conditions in Hong Kong. The new curriculum also adopts an \"issue-enquiry approach\", through which students are required to develop their own views, construct personal knowledge, and become critical thinkers.\nThe project has been made possible with the support of the Knowledge Exchange Fund of the University Grant Committee. Although many resources are available on the internet and through other channels, authoritative, research-oriented, credited and copyright-free resources are lacking, teachers and students can now use the copyright-free content on the HKEdCity portal for their Liberal Studies projects and for general study. The Hong Kong University Press is planning to include 100 titles in the electronic database before 2011 to cover other modules in China and cultural studies under the liberal studies curriculum.\nProfessor John Bacon-Shone, Associate Director of the Knowledge Exchange Office of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), Mr Michael Duckworth, Publisher of Hong Kong University Press co-hosted a press conference today (June 10) at HKU to introduce the project. Ms Ng Mei Mei, Executive Director of Hong Kong Education City (HKedCity), was invited as the guest speaker\nProfessor John Bacon-Shone, who is also Associate Dean of HKU Faculty of Social Sciences, reiterated the importance of knowledge exchange as a mission of the University.\n\"In our continuous pursuit of excellence in research, HKU also strives to ensure that our innovations and the new knowledge we create can be shared with our society. Knowledge exchange is now an explicit part of the HKU Strategic Plan, alongside teaching and research.\"\nHe said the 32 titles now available in the e-resource would provide high quality information to students.\n\"Take a look at those titles: you don't have to be a Liberal Studies teacher or student to become interested.\" He added.\nHKedCity Executive Director Ms Ng Mei Mei emphasized the commitment of HKedCity to creating an environment for the community to exchange best practices, share resources and learn from each other.\n\"And ultimately, making learning more fun, engaging, and personalized for our next generation,\" she added.\nFor the list of books, please visit http://www.cpao.hku.hk/media/100610ebooklist.doc\nFor further enquiries, please contact Joseph Siu of Hong Kong University Press at [email protected] or tel (2552 4789)."

"Recently much has been done in Kazakhstan system of higher education in accordance with the time demand and the priorities of the country economic development. The credit technology of education has been introduced to ensure the international recognition of the national education program, to provide students and faculty with academic mobility opportunities, as well as to improve the quality of education.\nThe increased collaboration with other countries in all spheres of life established maximal requirements to the level of professional competences of future English teachers, as they are trained for future work in governmental schools and other educational institutions.\nThe requirements, mentioned in the State Overall Compulsory Educational Standard of 5B011900 \"Foreign Language: Two Foreign Languages\" 5.04.019-2011, suggest that the graduate of the given specialty is to be able to perform professional activity properly both psychologically and methodologically aimed at developing students' ability to learn foreign language as means of intercultural communication; to be able to design methodological model of foreign language communication mastering closed to the conditions of real communication; to be able to define the category as an object of didactic learning, synthesizing into single unit \"foreign language-foreign culture-identity\"; to be able to be able to pick out lingvoculturally and socioculturally oriented authentic teaching materials; to use standard authentic vocabulary in the classroom; to be able to create and encourage interest for foreign language acquisition as means of intercultural communication; to be able to use technologies, methods and techniques ensuring the formation of the subject of cross-cultural communication; to be able to use pedagogical and information technologies efficiently in the sphere of educational activities.\n- spelling, orthoepic, grammatical and stylistic rules of the studied languages .\n- to know methodology of foreign language education; cross-cultural communicative competence .\nAll of these above-mentioned requirements for students cannot be achieved without grounded knowledge of the English grammar, because only grammar gives strictly rules of writing and speaking correctly.\nAccording to the State Overall Compulsory Educational Standard of 5B011900 \"Foreign Language: Two Foreign Languages\" 5.04.019-2011, during the first year at the University students of the major take \"Basic English language\" (A1, A2, B1- levels) course, which forms an adequate social and educational level of proficiency in a foreign language .\nThis course \"Basic English language\" (A1, A2, B1- levels) requires functional literacy in a foreign language, communication skills formed in four basic skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing.\n- to express own point of view on the topic of self-interests or events from everyday life; (family, hobby, job, travelling, current events).\n- the development of the film's plot, based on a number of visual and action, in a clear and simple sound.\n- to read and extract the necessary information from brochures, catalogs, brochures, menus, schedules.\n- to write short reports, simple in form and contents from real life .\nGraduates coming from the Kazakh schools have no such knowledge, and have difficulties with acquisition of grammatical material of \"Basic English language\" (A1, A2, B1- levels) course, as English language learning is mainly based on textbooks of T. Ayapova (Ayapova T. English: a Textbook for General Educational Schools / Thanat Taniberdikyzy Ayapova, Danegali Berdibekuly Ukbaev. - 2nd ed., Ext. And rev. - Almaty: Atamura, 2005. - 208.) , which is designed according to the modular format, where theory and practice of English grammar is not almost studied. Thus, the teachers of Kazakh speaking groups face greater challenges than teachers of Russian-speaking audience and do not cope with the task of to increase knowledge in the grammatical structure of the English language.\nSarah Cunningham, Peter Moor. Cutting Edge (Intermediate) Work Book. Pearson Education) is not also designed to provide student with sufficient knowledge of Grammar . Therefore, as it is stated in the work program of the course additional resources are used for teaching English grammar of the following authors such as V.D. Arakin, T.U. Drozdova, V.L. Kaushanskaya and others.These books are developed by the Soviet and Russian linguists and such resources are aimed at Russian speakers. It means that these authors designed teaching materials which reduce only Russian speaking students' interlanguage errors. Thereby, these books cannot be applied in teaching English for Kazakh speaking students in practicing some difficulties of English grammar, because students do not know Russian fluently and such books do not solve their problems which are based on the peculiarities of the Kazakh language.\nThe Kazakh language belongs to the Kypshak group of Turkic languages, which also includes Tatar, Karakalpak, Nogai, Baskir, Karaim,Kumyk, Karachai-Balkar and Kyrgyz . Kazakh is described linguistically as an agglutinative language. Suffixes are added to a word root without changing the root itself. The suffixes carry either lexical meaning or grammatical function.\nGrammatical categories of tense, mood, voice, number and person are expressed through different suffixes which are added to the root which are added to the root which is obtained through dropping the ending –u of the initial form. The root of the verb corresponds to the familiar form of imperative mood, all other forms require suffixes or endings .\nThe negative form of the verb in Kazakh is formed by adding suffixes –ma/-me, -ba/-be,-pa/-pe to the root of the verb according to the following rules: after vowels is added –ma/me; after voiced consonants is added –ba/be; after voiceless consonants is added –pa/pe .\n3. Otken shak (Past Tense) .\nIn Kazakh there are two types of the Present Tense: Nak osy shak (The Concrete Present Tense) and Auyspaly osy shak (the Transitive Present Tense).\nNak osy shak denotes an action taking place at the moment of speaking and it is close to Present Continuous in English. Auyspaly osy shak denotes the Present and the Future Tenses depending on the situation.\nKeler shak in Kazakh has three forms: Auyspaly keler shak (the Transitive Present-Future Tense) which we have already mentioned as present tense, Bolzhaldy keler shak (the Suppositional Future Tense) and Maksatty keler shak (the Future Tense of Intention). Bolzhaldy keler shak expresses supposition with a slight degree of certainty. Maksatty keler shak expresses some intention to do action.\n2) Burungy otken shak (The Pluperfect Tense) .\n\"Zhedel otken shak\" denotes an action which took place in the past. It is formed with the help of suffixes dy/di, ty/ti (–ды\\дi, –ты\\ тi) and personal ending. For example: zhazdym (жаздым), \"I wrote\" жүрдiң \"You went\" It is close to the English Past Indefinite Tense in its meaning. \"Burungy otken shak\" denotes an action which was completed before specified time or before the beginning of another action in the past.\nThe most difficult theme is Past Tenses. In the formation of \"Zhedel otken shak\" in Kazakh language the choice of the suffixes depends on the law of synharmonism and progressive assimilation. Synharmonism or hamony of vowels comes from Greek words syn-\"together\" and harmonia – \"connection, assonance\". According to the law of synharmonism the last syllable of the word becomes assimilated by the previous one. In the Kazakh language the words follow the law of progressive assimilation as well as the law of synharmonism. If the words end in the voiceless consonants (к, қ, п, с, т, ф, ц, ч, ш, щ) or the voiced consonants (б, в, г, д) the suffix of the ending being added to a word begins with the voiceless consonant. If the last sound of a word is a voiced consonant except (б, в, г, д), a sonorant (й, л, м, н, ң, р, у) or a vowel the suffix or ending begins with voiced consonant or sonorant .\nThe negative form of Zhedel otken shak is expressed with the help of suffix -ma/-me, -ba/-be, -pa/-pe, after which the tense suffix and personal ending are added.\n- The suffixes –kan/-ken, - gan/-gen is added to the verbs ending in voiceless consonants: zhatkan, zhetken (жатқан, жеткен). In other cases the suffix is used: bargan, Bergen (барған, берген).\n- by using the negative word \"zhok\" with personal endings.\nThe English Past Tenses system also presents a lot of trouble to theKazakh speaking students because of the difference which exists in these languages with regard to time and tense relations.\n- Past Perfect Continuous Tense .\nThe grammatical content of the Past Indefinite may be briefly characterised as follows: the Past Indefinite represents an action or state as relatively static in the past. The duration of the process indicated by the Past Indefinite can vary according to the immediate lexical context or special situation with no time indicators at all. The Past Indefinite is a synthetic form (synthetic forms are built up by a change in the word itself: by means of suffixes or by means of vowel change). But the interoggative and negative forms are built up analytically (analytical forms consists of 2 components), by means of the auxiliary verb to do without the particle to .\n- to express unreal actions .\nThe primary meaning of the Past Continuous is that of a past action shown in its progress at a given past moment. The Past Continuous is an analytical form which is built up by means of the auxiliary verb to be in the Past Indefinite and the –ing form of the notional verb.\n- to indicate a future action viewed from the past .\nThe Past Perfect is an analytical form which is built up by means of the auxiliary verb to have in the Past Indefinite and the participle of the notional verb. The same auxiliary is used to form the interrogative and the negative forms .\n- to express an action which began before a given moment and continues into it up to it.\nIn adverbial clauses of time introduced by the conjunctions when, before, after, as soon as and till/until to express a future action viewed from the past .\nThe Past Perfect Continuous is an analytical form which is built up by means of the auxiliary verb to be in the Past Perfect and the 'ing\" - form of the notional verb. In the interrogative form the first auxiliary verb is placed before the subject. In the negative form the negative particle not is placed after the first auxiliary.The Past Perfect Continuous has two different uses which will be further referred to as Past Perfect Continuous I and Past Perfect Continuous II.\nPast Perfect Continuous I serves to express an action which began before a given past moment and continued into it or up to it. In this meaning it is parallel to Past Perfect II. Past Perfect Continuous I may be used with the same indications of time. The Past Perfect Continuous can be used with dynamic verbs of both durative and terminative meaning (see the examples above). Stative verbs express this meaning with the help of Past Perfect II Past Perfect II is possible with dynamic verbs of durative meaning but it is not found at all with terminative verbs.\nPast Perfect Continuous II serves to express an action which was in progress just before a given past moment and it affects the past situation in some way. The precise time limits of the action are not specified. In this meaning the Past Perfect Continuous is not parallel to Past Perfect II. Past Perfect Continuous II is, as a rule, not associated with any indications of time .\n- The English past tenses forms are built up with analytical forms, which consist of two components: an auxiliary verb and a notional verb. An auxiliary verb has no lexical meaning, it expresses only grammatical meaning. A notional verb is the bearer of lexical meaning. Only Past Simple in the affirmative form is built up synthetically by a change in the verb itself (by means of suffix – ed).\n- The Kazakh past tenses have agglutinative forms, where the suffixes are added to the root of verbs depending on the law of synharmonism and progressive assimilation.\n- Past Continuous and Past Perfect Continuous forms do not exist in the Kazakh, but Continuous tenses in the Kazakh are expressed by means of a notional verb in the form of Participle.\n- Word order is different, in Kazakh the verb-predicate always stands at the end of the sentence. In negative and interrogative forms of Buryngy otken shak verb stands before the negative words: \"emes\" and \"zhok\".\nIn English Past tenses in an affirmative form the predicate is placed after the subject. In questions the word order is characterized by the model: auxiliary verb + subject + main verb.\n- Buryngy otken shak in the Kazakh is close to the Past Perfect Tense in English.\nAs a general rule, the native language of every learner is a significant factor in the acquisition of a new language and exercising either an interfering or facilitating effect on the target language. All textbooks take into consideration this, because the majority of a learner's errors in producing the second language stem from the learner's assumption that the target language operates like the native language. Carefully analyzing verbs as the most complex part of speech, due to the central role it performs in the expression of predicative functions of the sentence, it is possible to make a conclusion that the difficulties experienced by Kazakh speaking students in learning English is connected with the following: English is an analytical language, where grammatical relations are more expressed by auxiliary verbs. As a result of this fact, Kazakh speaking students often forget to put in auxiliary verbs a sentence in practicing the English Past Tenses such as Past Perfect, Past Continuous, Past Perfect Continuous in all three forms (affirmative, negative, interrogative) and interrogative, negative forms of Past Simple; in negative forms of Past Perfect and Past Simple the students often put instead of auxiliary verbs: did/had the negative word \"not\", because in Kazakh language negative form of Burungu otken shak which is close to Past Perfect is formed only with the help of notional verb and this negative word \"zhok\" which means not in English and personal ending . Another difference of the analytical language from the agglutinative language is that syntax and meaning are shaped by use of word order rather than by inflection. In English the predicate is placed after the subject, in Kazakh the predicate always stands at the end of the sentence. The first typical mistake of Kazakh speaking in the word order is that the students put the predicate at the end of a sentence. The second typical mistake is caused by the auxiliary verbs of interrogative sentences in English, which are (in our case - did, had) often placed at the beginning of a sentence, because co called interoggative particles (-ba/-be, -ma/-me,- pa/-pe) are placed at the end of a sentence. Due to the non existence of Past Continuous Tense and Past Perfect Continuous Kazakh speaking students mixed up the Past Simple and Past Continuous, Past Continuous Perfect and Past Perfect.\nOn the basis of the above mentioned grammatical difficulties Kazakh native speakers come across in the English grammar, we have come to the conclusion, that the use of the grammar textbooks aimed at Russian speaking students is not possible and it does not give expecting results, due to the fact that adequate grammar textbooks written by Russian linguists take into account only the specifics of the Russian language. Overcoming these difficulties, which are typical for the Kazakh-speaking students in learning the past tense in the English language, requires the specific methodological approaches, such as a good practice of the past tenses based on their learners' native language, which cannot be achieved without creating the necessary group of exercises.\n1.

"Home/ 2019/5/ artikel/ Language Requirements Just Good Business For The Private Sector\nLanguage Requirements Just Good Business For The Private Sector\nPrivate sector employers have every reason to employ graduates who are able to speak more than one language. Politicians and university dons should not link issues surrounding the matriculation intake quota with language requirements for jobs, as these two issues are not the same\nThe education ministry should be aware that commercial Chinese language skills are becoming important, and that many countries have included the teaching of this language in their education curriculum\nBeing able to speak Mandarin and other foreign languages has always been an asset in the business world. Politicians and dons should stop claiming that advertisements by the private sector seeking employees with knowledge of a foreign language are discriminatory in nature. This cannot be considered ethnic-based discrimination. There are reasons as to why some sectors in the private world seek employees who can speak a specific language. It all boils down to business strategy and has nothing to do with discriminating against those who cannot speak the required language\nThe private sector has to look into marketability and profitability. It's solely for business reasons that companies require employees to be able to speak a language that can help them deal with potential clients\nAdded advantage for business dealingsThe private sector in the Malaysian context commonly seeks employees who are able to communicate in more than one language. For instance, if the sector deals with Mandarin or Arabic speaking nations, they would naturally seek employees who can speak Mandarin or Arabic. The private sector will always look into the practicality of doing business. At the end of the day, it's profitability that allows them to sustain their business. What more, the country has investors from many other countries. Being able to speak the languages of these people is always an added advantage for business dealings\nShockingly, in the recent senate session, a senator who comes from an academic background was not happy that there are job advertisements requiring candidates to be able to speak Mandarin and the Thai language. Just after that, a minister was reported to have insinuated that the matriculation quota was akin to the private sector seeking employees with certain language preferences. This must have given some the impression of \"reciprocation\", that the quota favouring Bumiputera students for the matriculation programme is linked to the level of unemployment of Bumiputera in the private sector\nUnfortunately, neither of them are well informed of reality in the private business sector. They have actually become victims of misinformation. No doubt, the ownership of enterprises in the private sector is still monopolised by non-Bumiputeras. Of the 10.5 million Bumiputera workforce in the country, nine million are with the private sector and are generally employed by non-Bumiputera companies. Only about 1.5 million of them are with the civil service\nPoliticians and dons should thus stop harping on private companies that look for selected employees who can speak Mandarin or any other foreign language. This chapter should be a minor concern to Malaysians. In fact, there are also other sectors in the country that recruit employees who can speak Mandarin, English or any other foreign language. As such, it's common to see job advertisements of this nature in the country\nThe Malay language is the nation's lingua franca and candidates seeking government jobs need to have at least a pass at the SPM level in this subject. The private employment sectors out of necessity may need more than this requirement. There can be additional language requirements, depending on what sector it is\nProfitability talksIn the business world, profitability talks. In the tourism industry, for instance, it's always an asset if employees are able to speak a few foreign languages. A reported 25.8 million tourists visited the country in 2018. Malaysia collected RM84.1 billion in overall tourism receipts last year, its highest ever. The expenditure of tourists from China made up RM12.3 billion of the total. Chinese tourists who have been the key growth driver across Southeast Asia for the past decade will continue to support Malaysian tourism growth, and the country is expecting more Chinese to visit Malaysia. Indisputably, the tourism industry would require their tourist guides to be able to speak Mandarin. Even in China, which gets many tourists from Malaysia, tourist agencies employ guides who can speak the Malay language\nOn another note, Malaysia won the number one spot in the International Medical Travel Journal's award for \"Health and Medical Tourism Destination of the Year\" in 2015 and 2016. This recognition has made Malaysia a popular destination for healthcare tourists from neighbouring countries. Malaysia ranks among the best providers of healthcare in all of Southeast Asia. Patients find it a lot cheaper to get medical treatment in Malaysia\nMore than one million healthcare tourists visited the country last year, with domestic hospital revenue standing at RM1.3 billion. This is expected to hit RM2.8 billion by 2020. Medical tourism has targeted travellers from China, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam and even from Middle Eastern countries. Private hospitals would naturally hire staff who can speak more than one language when they have patients coming from various countries to seek medical treatment. These hospitals have to equip themselves with employees who can speak foreign languages for their communicative and functional purposes. They have to be patient-friendly, and it's an asset to employ staff who are able to speak a language that patients are comfortable with\nEven some government sectors require employees who are able to speak languages other than Malay. For operational purposes, the police and the military do employ those who can speak languages other than Malay. It would also be an asset for government staff dealing with international trade to possess a good command of foreign languages including Mandarin, as China, Singapore and Hong Kong are among the country's top trading partners\nDepends on market forcesPoliticians and dons should realise that the employability of a graduate in the private sector depends on market forces. One job skill that this sector looks for is, of course, language. Most sectors require employees to be able to communicate in a language understood by clients. Requiring any foreign language proficiency when applying for a job actually conforms to what certain jobs require, and it has nothing to do with the applicant's race. There is nothing racially prejudicial, employment-wise, for companies requiring job applicants to have knowledge of Mandarin, English or any other specific language\nTeaching and learning in schools and colleges should instead facilitate the needs of the industry. The ministry should prepare graduates to be more employable by arming them with skill sets such as acquiring foreign languages to meet modern-day job requirements. Let graduates learn more languages to make them more competitive in the job market. Just accept the fact that some companies dealing with Chinese industries require job applicants to be proficient in Mandarin. Some others need graduates to be proficient in English and so forth. The non-Bumiputera matriculation quota and the requirement for Mandarin proficiency in some job applications should therefore be viewed separately\nLinking the matriculation quota system with unequal job opportunities for Bumiputeras in the private sector is not a wise comparison and, in fact, erroneous. Let's not politicise and turn this into a racial issue\nMoaz Nair is an FMT reader.\nArtikel ini hanyalah simpanan cache dari url asal penulis yang berkebarangkalian sudah terlalu lama atau sudah dibuang :\nhttp://malaysiansmustknowthetruth.blogspot.com/2019/05/language-requirements-just-good.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MalaysiansMustKnowTheTruth+%28Malaysians+Must+Kno\nModerate Price Increases May Be Good For The Country\nPractically all the currencies of the world are fiat money i e money that is not backed by anything of value other than the guarantee by the government of that country which makes it legal for that particular currency to exchange for goods ...\nEnhance Your Business By Getting A Vehicle Fit For The Job\nMost people who work every day drive their car to get to work but for many others the vehicle is crucial to their business Some require large vans to carry packages or work equipment from house to house others entire business is centered ar...\nJust Speaking Up For The People Says Hannah On Rimba Kiara Tiff With Khalid\nIt s not personal Just doing my duty to speak up for my people that was Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh s reply when asked about her perceived tiff with Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abdul Samad over the proposed development in Taman Rimba Ki...\nThe Pavilion Residences Nightmare For Tommy Thomas\nAnd why does it take one year from the date of the seizure to the date the forfeiture notice is issued If they are so sure that the RM1 1 billion jewellery watches sunglasses shoes etc were bought with 1MDB s money this means they have the ...\nThe Landlord Guide Five Basic Tips For The Real Estate Investor\nCompared to buying and selling properties investing in a rental property is a long term commitment that comes with demanding requirements of your time If you re thinking of turning that house you bought in seremban into a you will need to d...\nVivian Wong The Rightful Candidate To Be Mp For Sandakan Polls Tomorrow\nSandakan voters will go to polls tomorrow to elect their Member of Parliament It is a five corner contest between DAP s Vivian Wong PBS s Linda Tsen and independents Sulaiman Abdul Samat Hamzah Abdullah and Chia Siew Yung The most ideal can...\nWorried About The Weather For Your Cruise So Is James Van Fleet\nBy TARIRO MZEZEWA from NYT Travel https nyti ms 2W0H6Ps\nNew Master Plan For Kampung Baru In The Works\nThe 120 year old Kampung Baru comprises seven villages that form the Malay Agricultural Settlement in the heart of Kuala Lumpur PETALING JAYA A new master plan is being drawn up for Kampung Baru which might result in the 120 year old villag...\nThe Datuk Seri Who Can T Seem To Learn His Lesson One Day Luck Will Run Out For Liow Soon Hee\nKUALA LUMPUR Datuk Seri Liow Soon Hee has surrendered to police here Friday to help with investigations into rioting at an entertainment outlet in Jalan Klang Lama Liow is the same Datuk Seri who was charged with three counts of causing gri..."

"Minister Dr.Sarath Amunugama addressing a batch of English language instructors recruited recently by the Vocational Training Authority (VTA) said that it was their duty to empower their students adequately in the English language so that they would be able to, among other things, face job interviews at modern industrial and business establishments, without hesitation, on an equal footing with foreign educated youth.\nThe Minister said that due to longstanding shortcomings in the country's education system the youth and especially rural youth were facing a severe employment problem. He said that the traditional education in the humanities, even at university level, was no longer sufficient to obtain employment at today's workplaces.\nHe pointed out that today youth needed to be equipped with technical and vocational knowledge and skills, required by the present world of work. The Minister said that it was the responsibility of his ministry to ensure that such vocational and technical training was provided at an internationally accepted level by all relevant institutions in the country both within his ministry and outside. He said that his ministry had undertaken that task with a great sense of responsibility.\nThe Minister further said that even vocational and technical skills alone were not enough today and it was also necessary to be equipped with the knowledge of and skills in an international language to be accepted at a modern workplace, competing in a global market.\nThe Minister pointed out that at such workplaces work manuals would be in an international language and communication with employers and customers would also need skills in such a language.\nThe Minister said fortunately the English language for the learning of which we have good facilities was a widely accepted language in the world of international commerce and industry. He said his ministry had therefore launched a special initiative to give the trainees in the institutions under his ministry a good knowledge of English and adequate skills in its use in communication. He congratulated the VTA in taking the lead in this connection and thanked its Chairman and staff for the interest taken.\nHe asked the new language instructors to treat their new assignment not merely as a job but as a national duty of empowering the hitherto disadvantaged youth of the country."

"This was the view of the leadership of the Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD), which has, in Gombe State, trained journalists and civil society organizations (CSOs) on education project reporting.\nCharging journalists on the need to promote social accountability, a university teacher, Maude Rabiu Gwadabe, said they have the much-needed power to ensure citizens participation in decisions that affect them.\nIn his own submission, the CITAD Senior Programme Manager Kabiru S. Dakata, challenges both journalists and CSOs to rise up to the challenge by helping in tracking the education budget in the northeast.\nObserving that the northeast is the worse educationally disadvantaged zone in the country, he stated that the need for both journalists and the CSOs to go extra legitimate miles to hold government accountable had become necessary for the growth of education in the region.\nIt is sad that male adult literacy \" rate is low with all states in the region having lower than national average rates\" assisting in tracking education budget. He believed it would go a long way to compel those assigned with the responsibility of providing quality education to the people to carry out their responsibilities.\nAnother facilitator, Akibu Hamisu Garko, said for journalists and CSOs to effectively track education budget in the zone, they must endeavour to identify projects in the budget.\nIn achieving this onerous test, projects code, projects sub-sector, budgetary allocations, description and location among others, according to him, are vital information journalists and CSOs ought be armed with.\nThe two-day training which was organized by CITAD and supported by USAID and took place at the Flourish Hotel in Gombe with journalists and CSOs from the six states of the northeast geo-political zone participating."

"Dr Pe Myint discusses community centres, media ethics at meeting\nUnion Minister Dr Pe Myint meets with trainees from the Media and Information Literacy Course No.1 at the Ministry of Information yesterday. Photo: MNA\nUnion Minister for Information Dr Pe Myint received trainees undertaking the Media and Information Literacy Course No.1, conducted by the Information and Public Relations Department, yesterday afternoon at the ministry in Nay Pyi Taw.\nDuring the meeting, the Union Minister said that the course came about due to the requirements of the present time. \"It has been designed to provide a better understanding of the current situation for more effective work,\" he said.\n\"It is impossible to survive if one doesn't adapt to the current situation and do one's best. Thus, constant study is necessary,\" he said.\nHe also stressed the need to successfully establish community centres in regions and states and to make the best use of the centres.\nAt the centers housed at the Information and Public Relations Departments in regions and states, talk shows and reading programs are being organized, he said.\nArrangements must be made at the centres to attract people and help them discuss social, economic, and political affairs, said the Union Minister.\nHe also urged the trainees to attach great importance to accuracy and journalistic ethnics when they write news stories.\n\"The purpose of the course is to promote critical thinking as to what to believe and what not to believe in news. It is important of making collaborative efforts to attract public interest in elections and to ensure fair elections,\" he said.\nThen, U Ye Naing, the Director-General of the Information and Public Relations Department, spoke about the projects implemented by the department, gave a report on the Information and Public Relations Departments in the regions and states, and the activities held at community centers, such as talk shows and reading programs, in the regions and states.\nThereafter, the trainees reported the difficulties faced in organizing talk shows and reading programs at the state and regional community centers.\nAfterwards, Deputy Minister U Aung Hla Tun and Permanent Secretary U Myo Myint Maung discussed the need for working more closely with other departments and adapting to current developments.\nThe Union Minister made additional remarks and delivered the concluding speech.\nThe course is being conducted from 8 to 18 July at the training center at the head quarter of the Information and Public Relations Department. It has been reported that 19 deputy directors of regional and state public relation offices are attending the course.

"Q: Many to many unique combination So I originally thought I was going to have a one to many relationship in a database with the following tables\nENTITY_JSON_MAP\nATTRIBUTE_JSON_MAP\n\nOriginally I was going to have an FK in ATTRIBUTE_JSON_MAP pointing to ENTITY_JSON_MAP.\nI was going to the Attribute table with\nalter table ATTRIBUTE_JSON_MAP add unique (NAME, JSON_MAP_ENUM, ENTITY_JSON_MAP_FK)\n\nNow however I've realized that I need to make it a many to many relationship, so I've created a mapping table, but now I've lost the ability to make sure that I don't get duplicates of that combination.\nI was hoping there was still a way to do this. Inserting/deleting tables doesn't need to be fast, as the table will not be inserted or deleted at run time.\n\nA: If I understand you correctly, your original\n\nUnique (name, json_map_enum, entity_json_map_fk)\n\nIs made up of\n\nname: name of the attribute\n json_map_enum: the position of this attribute in the entity\n entity_json_map_fk: reference to entity\n\nYou should be able to enforce this in the mapping table as well.\nCREATE TABLE Entity_Attribute_Map (\n ATTRIBUTE_JSON_MAP_fk int references ATTRIBUTE_JSON_MAP(id),\n entity_json_map_fk int references entity_json_map(id),\n JSON_MAP_ENUM int,\n Primary Key (ATTRIBUTE_JSON_MAP_fk, entity_json_map_fk, JSON_MAP_ENUM)\n)\n\n"

"Q: hibernatation dilemma, many-to-many or one-to-many then many-to-one? I have two classes with many-to-many relation so I created a join table in-between them (a very classic example!)\nIn java+hibernate I want to know which way is better?\nhaving a manytomany relation between these two class using hibernate manytomany annotation?\nOr as the way I implemented in database having :\ntable1--->one-to-many--->join table--->many-to-one--->table2\nthen follow the same classic rule in hibernate?\n\nA: Many-to-many is better if you do not have attributes for this relation. It describes relationship between your entities simpler way and without additional \"join entity\". Entities do not have to mirror join tables, that just makes entity graph more complex in the case of pure join table.\nIf there is need to have additional attributes in relationship, then you have to go for intermediate entity approach.\n"

"Q: defining a many-to-one reference in a Slick case class Another question answers how to define a one-to-many association, by defining a method in the \"one\" case class (Directorate) that returns a Seq of the \"many\" class (ServiceArea).\nBut it doesn't address the \"bidirectional\" part of the question.\nUsing that example, I'd like to see how to traverse the association from the other direction.\nInstead of\ncase class ServiceArea(areaCode: String, dirCode: String, name: String)\n\nI'd like to see\ncase class ServiceArea(areaCode: String, directorate: Directorate, name: String)\n\nIs this possible with Slick?\nBecause when I try something like\nobject ServiceAreas ...\n def * = areaCode ~ directorate ~ name <> (ServiceArea, ServiceArea.unapply _)\n\nit fails to compile, not finding an implicit value for evidence parameter of type TypeMapper[ForeignKeyQuery[ServiceAreas,ServiceArea]].\n\nA: You have to adjust your way of thinking a little. Slick handles composition and execution of queries, but as you mentioned in your comment, it's not an ORM (thank goodness).\nHave a look at the code you referenced:\ncase class ServiceArea(areaCode: String, dirCode: String, name: String)\n\nobject ServiceAreas extends Table[ServiceArea](\"SERVICE_AREAS\") {\n\n def areaCode = column[String](\"AREAE_CODE\", O.PrimaryKey)\n\n def dirCode = column[String](\"DIRECTORATE_CODE\")\n\n def name = column[String](\"NAME\")\n\n def directorate = foreignKey(\"DIR_FK\", dirCode, Directorates)(_.dirCode)\n\n def * = areaCode ~ dirCode ~ name <> (ServiceArea, ServiceArea.unapply _)\n}\n\nThe link to directorate is already defined by a navigatable foreign key.\nSo now you can write a query like this:\n def directorates = for {\n area <- Parameters[String]\n sa <- ServiceAreas if sa.areaCode === area\n dir <- sa.directorate\n } yield dir\n\nWhich will yield a Directorate for each match.\n"

"Q: SSRS 2005 Many to Many select I have customers and programs. A customer can be in many programs and I have the CustomerPrograms table for the many to many data. I of course also have the Customers table and the Programs table. In SSRS the client wants to be able to Multi Select the programs parameter (query loaded from Programs table). They also want to see a comma delimited list of the programs in the grid. I wrote a UDF to handle the grid part but I am baffeled about how to handle the Multi Select parameter filtering customers who can be in none, one or many of the programs. \n\nA: I actually figured it out and it turned out to be much easier than I thought - for those interested part ot the where clause now looks like this (@program is the multi select parameter):\nand exists (select custprog_id from customers_programs (nolock)\n where cust_id = customers.cust_id and program_id in (@program))\n\n"

"Q: jpa @ManyToOne multiple entity I wanna make common MEMO entity.\nTable schema is like below \nCREATE TABLE MEMO(\n resource_id int,\n resource_type varchar(10),\n content varchar(255)\n)\n\nEvery entities can have relationship to this MEMO entity.\nresource_id can have a primary key from another entities,\nit means resource_id is foreign key that allows all entities.\nAnd resource_type is entity's type. Yes, this is like discriminator. \nI don't wanna make entities like ITEM_MEMO, CATEGORY_MEMO, SCHEDULE_MEMO ...\nI think it's good until now, but now I realize that I don't know how to implements this table using JPA. \nAs you know, @ManyToOne can have one object.\nBut in my case, resource_id should have relationshipt to many entities.\nSo... is there any way to do this?\n\nA: Why not use join tables instead? You could simply add @OneToMany @JoinTable private Collection<Memo> memos to all the relevant entities (the inverse association is, of course, impossible in this scenario). \nConversely, if you only need the @ManyToOne side, take a look at Hibernate's @Any annotation. \n"

"Q: Matching entities with ManyToMany relationship with any element of a Set In JPA/JQL, I've as input a Set<Tag> and I want to find entities that are associated to at least one Tag in my input Set (:tags).\nThe Tagged entity has a property tags\n@ManyToMany\nprivate Set<Tag> tags;\n\nHow the query should look like? I've tried\nSELECT t FROM Tagged t WHERE t.tags = ANY(:tags)\nbut it's not correct. Does anyone know how the correct query should be?\nExample: if a Tagged Entity has Tags (\"one\", \"two\", \"tree\") and my :tags input parameter is a Set of Tags (\"three\", \"four\"), I expect a match because \"three\" is in common.\n\nA: I don't believe ANY(subquery) is what you're looking for. I would use an inner join instead. Something like this:\nSELECT DISTINCT t FROM Tagged t JOIN t.tags tag WHERE tag IN :tags\n\n"

"Q: Fuel PHP Orm, join I have been playing with fuelphp lately and am trying something with the ORM.\nNever used an ORM before so I think I don't understand very well.\nMy database consists of object types with multiple objects meta´s.\nSo I have three tables.\nobject_types which has multiple object_types_meta which is a join table to objects_meta_type\nBut I don't know how to convert this to the ORM. Can someone please point me in the correct direction?\nI thought it would be:\nobject_types has many object_types_meta and then object_types_meta belongs to objects_types but what do I do with object_meta_type?\nThanks in advance!\n\nA: It looks like you may be using a many to many relationship with object_types_meta being the in between table?\nhttp://fuelphp.com/docs/packages/orm/relations/many_many.html\n\nA: If the join table doesn't contain any extra columns except the two foreign keys, you should use a many-many relation, and use the join table as 'through' table.\nIf it does contain columns you need to access, you have to create a model for the join table too, and create two one-to-many relations from the join table to the two other models.\n"

"Q: doctrine 2 many to many relation I'm creating my Doctrine 2 mappings (in XML). I would like to create a many-to-many relationship between the entities Snippet and Tag using:\nSnippet:\n<many-to-many field=\"tags\" target-entity=\"Tag\">\n <cascade><cascade-all /></cascade>\n</many-to-many>\n\nTag\n<many-to-many field=\"snippets\" target-entity=\"Snippet\">\n <cascade><cascade-all /></cascade>\n</many-to-many>\n\nHowever when I use the schematool to generate my database tables, two tables are added. tag_snippet and snippet_tag. Is there any way to use only 1 table instead of 2?\nA solution would be only defining the relation in one of the entities but will I be able to access it from the other one? (because no specific property is defined the other way around)\nLooks like I'm missing something obvious here.\n\nA: Looks like you need to decide which is the \"owning side\" (in Doctrine parlance), and add the appropriate \"mapped-by\" and \"inversed-by\" attributes to your ManyToMany tags.\nSee the documenation, specifically the XML example.\n"

This route ran from San Jose to Route 230 in San Francisco, providing a tertiary freeway to east of US 101 (to the west was I-280). The portion between US 101 and Route 280 is Route 230; the portion between Route 230 and Route 237 is no longer part of the state highway system (it was part of Route 87, but was deleted in 1970). The remainder of the route is part of Route 87.\nIn 1959, Chapter 1062 defined LRN 290 as \"[LRN 60] northwest of Santa Monica to [LRN 4] near Tunnel Station\". This is the proposed \"Reseda\" Freeway, segment (a) of Route 14, from Route 1 (near Sunset) to Route 5 near the Route 405/Route 5 tunnel (actually, Balboa Boulevard).\nIn 1961, Chapter 1838 defined LRN 291 as \"[LRN 158] near Western Avenue to 25th Street in San Pedro\". This was Route 213.\nIn 1963, Chapter 1729 added the language \"The commission may allocate from the State Highway Fund the necessary funds for the construction of all or any portion of said route when the County of Los Angeles and the Cities of Los Angeles and Torrance have entered into a co-operative agreement with the department wherein the said cities and county shall furnish to the state of California without charge all right-of-way necessary and agree to pay one-half the cost of plans and construction.\" However, this language never took effect, and the equivalent change was made to Chapter 385's Route 213.\nAlso in 1963, Chapter 2155 added a second definition of LRN 291, this time from [LRN 48] near Boonville to [LRN 1] near Ukiah, but this never took effect. In the post-1963 reality, that route was added as Route 253.\nIn 1961, Chapter 2013 defined LRN 292 as \"[LRN 68] in the vicinity of the Guadalupe River to [LRN 239] in the vicinity of Pearl Avenue.\" This is part of present-day Route 87.\nIn 1963, Chapter 1698 changed [LRN 239] to [LRN 114], but this change never took effect.\nIn 1963, Chapter 1898 defined LRN 294 as \"[LRN 1] in Eureka across Humboldt Bay to the Samoa Pennisula\". However, this addition did not take effect; instead, the route was added by the same act as Route 255.\nIn 1961, Chapter 1382 defined LRN 295 as \"LRN 21 near Wicks Corner to Paradise.\" This is present-day Route 191.\nIn 1963, Chapters 890 and 901 defined LRN 296 as \"the Avenue of the Giants, comprising a portion of the former Redwood Highway through and connecting a number of state parks, from Route 101 near the Sylvandale interchange to Route 101 near the Redcrest interchange.\" However, this definition did not happen due to the great renumbering; instead, the route was defined as post-1963 Route 254.\nFrom Route 101 near Arcata to Route 395 at Alturas.\nPost 1964 Signage History\nAs defined in 1963, this segment was actually two segments: \"(a) Route 101 near Arcata to Route 5 at Redding via Weaverville. (b) Route 5 at Redding to Route 395 at Alturas.\"\nIn 1998, Chapter 828 combined segments (a) and (b), giving \"(a) Route 101 near Arcata to Route 395 at Alturas.\" This eliminated the discontinuity in Redding, which arose due to a short multiplex with Route 273 in downtown Redding. At the northerly (now southerly) junction of Route 299 (Eureka Way) and Route 273 (Market Street), Route 299 eastbound went south on Route 273 for about two blocks, then made a left turn towards Tehama Street east to the Route 299 freeway headed towards I-5; Route 299 westbound from I-5 merged into Shasta Street, then made the right turn on Market (Route 273) and then the left to Eureka Way. Note that this short multiplex was not of equal distances westbound and eastbound.\nBetween Adin and Canby, this route is cosigned with Route 139, although it is legislatively Route 299.\nIn 2002, a highway location routing was adopted along Lake Boulevard from Route 273 to I-5. This segment of Route 273 from Route 299 at Market Street to Route 273 at Lake Boulevard will be cosigned Route 273/Route 299. The former Route 299 segment from Route 299 at Market Street to I-5 will be designated as Route 44.\nThe connecting segment of US 395 between the end of this segment and the start of the next segment is cosigned as US 395/US 299, although it is legislatively US 395.\nPre 1964 Signage History\nThis segment was originally signed as Route 44. In 1935, it was re-signed as US 299.\nThe segment of Route 299 between US 101 and Redding was LRN 20. The portion between US 101 and Weaverville was defined in 1915; the remainder of the route to I-5 in Redding was defined in 1909. The segment of Route 299 between Redding and US 395 was LRN 28. The portion between Redding and Alturas was defined in 1909; the remainder was defined in 1915.\nThe original routing of US 299 from Arcata east through Blue Lake used the following alignment:\n(Source: Sure Why Not? Blog on Rte 299, 11/2018)\nFrom US 101 in Arcata; West End Road to a crossing of the Mad River to a junction with unsigned LRN 85 (modern CA 200).\nGlendale Drive through Essex into Blue Lake.\nBlue Lake Boulevard east through Blue Lake to the modern expressway grade roughly located at the confluence of the North Fork Mad River and Bald Mountain Creek.\nThe modern Route 299 alignment uses a freeway grade over the Mad River where it meets a junction with Route 200 where it drops to a two-lane configuration east of Blue Lake. The new alignment of Route 299 first appeared as a proposed route east of Blue Lake on the 1969 State Highway Map. The modern freeway bypass of Blue Lake on Route 299 appears by the 1975 Edition of the State Highway Map.\nGeneral Segment Information\nThis is constructed to freeway standards from Route 101 to E of Blue Lake, and from Route 5 to the Old Oregon Trail.\nThe SAFETEA-LU act, enacted in August 2005 as the reauthorization of TEA-21, provided the following expenditures on or near this route: High Priority Project #2080: Reduce congestion and boost economies through safer access to the coast by realigning Route 299 between Trinity and Shasta Counties. $5,600,000.\nArcata to Willow Creek (Route 96)\nIn August 2012, the CTC approved SHOPP funding of $3,603,000 on Route 299 in Humbolt Cty PM HUM 0.0/43.0 near Arcata, from Route 299/US 101 Separation to South Fork Trinity River Bridge.

A few days later, an emergency contract was awarded because of the threat to public safety, and construction work began. The initial goal was to bring the road back to normal by removing rock and soil, cleaning the roadway and providing a 24-hour traffic-control system with spotters in place. A temporary rockfall protection fence was installed atop barriers along the centerline of the roadway. Originally, it was anticipated that repairs would last six months during the winter season, and once calm weather returned, the story would end there. Then a new mudslide destroyed the protection fence.\n(Source: Unless otherwise noted, this information comes from the Summer 2018 Caltrans Mile Marker)\nCaltrans construction and geotechnical staff were deployed to find a more permanent fix, and realized they had to come up with a new approach. After several months of studies and site surveys, it was decided to create a catchment area that would hold 3,000 to 4,000 cubic yards of slide material. A new contract was awarded. During that time, Caltrans District 2's teams worked with other agencies to comply with environmental laws in connection with the project. It also was necessary to find disposal sites for large amounts of debris, and work with local businesses and residents. As that work progressed, the area was hit by yet another slide toward the end of 2016. This development posed a serious threat to public safety, and forced Caltrans to close the highway and develop a new plan of action.\nCaltrans was forced to temporarily close the road in January 2017. Meanwhile, road clearing took place despite more slides small and large and during one of the most severe winters in recent memory. After the highway shut down for 37 calendar days, a detour was opened two times per day, limited to school buses, teachers and emergency vehicles. The restored but restricted access raised hopes, but there was still a lot to do. And the threat of another slide always loomed over the project\nIn March 2017, as a result of Winter 2017 storm damage, an emergency SHOPP allocation of $11,000,000 was made for the portion of this route near Del Loma, at Big French Creek Road (02-Tri-299 23.3). A series of rock slides continue to occur at this location since January 16, 2016. Geotechnical investigations determined the slope will continue to shed rocks and soil. On February 1, 2016 an Emergency G -11 allocation (EA 2H090) was made to monitor and provide traffic control and site clearing as required to keep the route clear. However, the site continues to be under 24 hour oneway traffic control and rockfall monitoring. Further testing and analysis has determined a new temporary scope. This new project will construct a catchment area at the toe of slope with a temporary barrier wall and rockfall fencing. Supplemental funds are required to complete this work. Supplemental work includes shifting to a 7-day workweek to excavate over 200,000 cubic yards up the slope an additional 200 feet from the original slide due to continued storm events in the fall and winter of 2016 and increased slide activity, continuing 24 hour one-way traffic control, conducting slide monitoring, and constructing a temporary detour in the flood plain of the Trinity River using slide material. The work will restore the roadway to the traveling public without traffic restrictions, reduce the risk of roadway closures, and retain rock, debris and mud flows from the traveled way. A follow-up roadway preservation project (EA 0H680) is currently programmed with scope to be modified as a permanent solution.\nEven after the storms ended, other challenges tested construction crews in 2017. They had to build a detour route that snaked through the very active work zone, coordinate the hydroseeding of denuded areas by helicopter, and even blast away a massive boulder that crashed onto the roadway. Construction was finished after almost two years after construction, at a cost of $40 million. By the time all work was done, Caltrans and its partners had literally moved a mountainside of material — 900,000 cubic yards — and installed a large, state-of-the-art catchment area, new guardrail, drainage system, a rockfall protection fence and wall, and repaved roadways, including disposal sites.\nThere are plans to add east and westbound passing lanes near Douglas City between Little Browns Creek Bridge and Trinity River Bridge 05-0018 (TRI R058.00). July 2005 CTC Agenda. (02N-Tri-299 55.7/57.7)\nIn January 2008, the CTC relinquished right of way in the county of Trinity, at Steel Bridge Road (~ TRI 61.006), consisting of a reconstructed and relocated county road.\nBuckhorn Grade Project (~ TRI 71.737 to SHA 5.000)\nThere are currently plans to realign the Buckhorn Grade in Shasta and Trinity Counties. This currently is in the Environmental Report preparation phase. [July 2002 CTC Agenda, 2.2.a].\nIn his 2006 Strategic Growth Plan, Governor Schwartzenegger proposed improvements to the Route 299/Route 44/Route 36 area. These would complete \"Buckhorn\" to allow STAA trucks to travel direct from I-5 at Redding to US 101 near Eureka and into the Port of Humboldt, now prohibited due to the existing curvilinear alignment that causes truck off tracking. This is the only viable alternative to get STAA trucks into the north coast. STAA trucks cannot access the Port on US 101 north due to environmental restrictions at Richardson's Grove that pre-empt major improvements to the route. Route 44 widening reduces congestion in the Redding urbanized area and also improves inter-regional through movement for people and goods.\nIn 2007, the CTC considered a request for funding from the Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA), which was not recommended for funding. This request was for the Buckhorn Grade realignment.\nIn September 2010, the CTC approved for future consideration of funding a project that will realign Route 299 near the city of Redding (middle of Buckhorn, PM 2.5 through PM 4.3). The project is programmed in the 2010 State Highway Operation and Protection Program. Construction is estimated to begin in Fiscal Year 2010-11. Total estimated project cost is $13,894,000 for capital and support. The scope as described for the preferred alternative is consistent with the project scope programmed by the Commission in the 2010 State Highway Operation and Protection Program.\nAccording to aNewsCafe.com, the next round of improvements to the Buckhorn Grade on Route 299 west of Redding is scheduled to begin in September 2011. This is the second phase in a four-phase project intended to make the treacherous stretch of road safer and to open the highway between Redding and Arcata to larger trucks. In July 2011, Caltrans awarded a $10.5 million contract to Mercer Fraser of Eureka for the \"Middle Buckhorn\" project, which involves widening the highway, realigning 10 turns and eliminating seven other turns in a 1.8-mile stretch. Fall 2011 work will include removal of timber cut in early 2011, and installation of erosion control measures. Heavy construction work will begin in spring of 2012. In 2009, Caltrans completed improvements to sections at the base and top of the grade. The section at the top provides an example of what the entire Buckhorn Grade will be like when finished – two westbound climbing lanes, one eastbound descending lane, a four-foot-wide median and broad shoulders.\nIn March 2011, the CTC approved funding to install truck climbing lanes near Redding, from 2.5 to 4.3 miles east of Trinity County Line to reduce congestion and minimize traffic delay.\nAfter completion of the Middle Buckhorn project, scheduled for fall of 2012, Caltrans will begin realigning two hairpin turns in the Twin Gulches section below Middle Buckhorn. In subsequent years, Caltrans will tackle the relatively mild lower section and the Upper Buckhorn.\nIn November 2016, it was reported that the Buckhorn Grade project was completed, with a completion ceremony that was held Monday, 11/21/2016. This massive highway project that has interrupted Trinity County's Route 299 route to Redding for the past several years, but was completed ahead of schedule and all remaining clean-up work should be finished by the end of November. There are also plans for a roundabout at Lance Gulch Road and Route 299.\n(Source: Trinity Journal, 11/16/2016)\nBuckhorn Summit - Carr Fire Closures (SHA 0.022)\nIn August 2018, it was reported that Route 299 has been closed over Buckhorn since July 23, 2018 when the Carr fire was started by mechanical failure of a vehicle at Route 299 and Carr Powerhouse Road at Whiskeytown Lake. Initial assessments identified at least 3,000 hazard trees to be removed and 60,000 feet of burned guardrail needing replacement before the road reopens as well as damaged culverts and pavement that will require long-term repairs. In reality, there are many more trees affected than 3,000 and damage assessments are still being done, especially near the summit. In the meantime, discussions between representatives of Caltrans, Cal Fire and the California Highway Patrol are occurring daily to reassess and form a plan for reopening the highway. Delivery of goods and services, medical needs, student transportation and commuter needs are all part of those discussions. Reopening will likely happen in stages, starting at the eastern end in Redding to allow evacuated residents to return to their properties. Progressive, scheduled openings at certain times of day will also be considered once Cal Fire deems it safe to reopen the highway to the public. With the highway closure still in place, the alternate route in or out of Trinity County to the east is Route 3 to Route 36 into Red Bluff or Cottonwood. From Weaverville, the trip takes approximately three hours to reach Redding. Other alternatives are to head west via Route 299 to Arcata, or north up Route 3 over Scott Mountain to Yreka. The narrow, winding road over Scott Mountain is not advisable for large RVs or allowed for commercial vehicles.\n(Source: Trinity Journal, 8/8/2018)\nIn May 2010, the CTC vacated right of way in the city of Redding along Route 299 at 0.08 mile west of Overhill Drive (~ SHA 21.969), consisting of highway right of way no longer needed for State highway purposes.\nThe CTC considered the route adoption for a highway location along Lake Blvd in the City of Redding from Route 273 at Lake Blvd to I-5 (~ SHA 24.108 to SHA 24.777).\nRedding to Alturas\nIn May 2013, the CTC approved for future consideration of funding a project in Shasta County that will rehabilitate a section of the roadway on Route 299, including replacing drainage facilities, installing new pavement, constructing a center median, widening the Salt Creek Bridge (299 SHA 034.56), and other improvements. The project is programmed in the 2012 State Highway Operation and Protection Program. The total estimated cost is $39,392,000 for capital and support. Construction is estimated to begin in Fiscal Year 2013-14.\nIn December 2011, the CTC approved $13.3 million to rehabilitate 36.6 lane miles of pavement to extend the service life of the highway and enhance highway safety in and near Montgomery Creek, from 0.3 mile west of Backbone Ridge Road (apx 299 SHA 34.574) to Big Bend Road (299 SHA 60.044).\nIn March 2019, the CTC amended the following project into the SHOPP: 02-Sha-299 44.3/44.9 PPNO 3742.

(apx 299 SHA 52.439)\nIn February 2006, the CTC considered relinquishment of two segments: (a) right of way in the County of Shasta, between Goose Valley Road (apx 299 SHA 73.283) and Mackinac Street (apx 299 SHA 75.549), consisting of reconstructed and relocated county roads; and (b) right of way in the County of Modoc, at the intersection with County Roads 54, 82 and 83, consisting of reconstructed and relocated county roads..\nIn August 2011, the CTC approved $2,000,000 in SHOPP funding for Route 299 in Burney at Burney Creek Bridge #06-0062 (apx 299 SHA 74.85). This work would replace one scoured bridge to maintain structural integrity, reduce the risk to lives and properties, and to comply with Bridge Inspection Report recommendation.\nIn October 2017, the CTC vacated right of way in the county of Shasta along Route 299 between Hat Creek Powerhouse No. 2 Road and Hat Creek Park at Hat Creek (02-Sha-299-PM 83.5/83.9), consisting of highway right of way no longer needed for State highway purposes.\nIn May 2008, the CTC relinquished right of way in the county of Shasta, at County Road No. 9S060 (Lewis Road, apx 299 SHA 96.12), County Road No. 9S061 (Williams Road, apx 299 SHA 96.701), County Road No. 9S02 (Pittville Road, apx 299 SHA 96.836), County Road No. 9S062 (Lee Ranch Road, apx 299 SHA 97.455), and County Road No. 9S066 (Pittville Totten Road, 299 SHA 99.352), consisting of reconstructed and relocated county roads.\nIn March 2019, the CTC approved for future consideration of funding a project is located on various locations along Route 299 and Route 139 in Lassen and Modoc Counties (02-Las-299, PM 18.5/25.6, 02-Mod-299, PM 0.5/0.5, 1.1/1.8, 02-Mod-139, PM 0.1). This project proposes to reduce the amount of distressed lane miles by restoring the roadway to a condition of minimal maintenance for a 20-year design life. This proposed project addresses the existing poor pavement condition, late stages of deterioration, and the roadway's substandard lighting. The project also proposes widening shoulders, reconstruct driveway approaches, and updating the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) elements. This project is fully funded and programmed in the 2018 SHOPP for approximately $25.2 million, construction is estimated to begin in 2020. The scope, as described for the preferred alternative, is consistent with the project scope programmed by the Commission in the 2018 SHOPP.\n(Source: March 2019 CTC Minutes, Agenda Item 2.2c.(1))\nButte Creek Bridges (2-MOD-299 0.51, 1.02)\nIn October 2016, the CTC amended the SHOPP as follows: 2-MOD-299 0.51, 1.02 | Route 299 Near Adin, at Butte Creek Bridge No. 03-001 and at Ash Creek Bridge No. 03-0002. Replace bridges. During the environmental phase, additional work was identified due to increased project footprint and a new community volunteer fire station in the project vicinity. Additional design support is needed to consider hazardous materials, hydraulics evaluations, community impact coordination and park impacts. Construction Support has increased to account for the use of consultants for inspection over two seasons instead of one. R/W support has increased to cover the cost for two additional parcels and their environmental mitigation. These changes add $1,269,000 to the cost of the project. Allocation: $47K $131K (R/W), $5.6MM (C), Support (PA & ED $1.82MM / PS & E $680K $940K / RW Sup $270K $485K / Con Sup $1.15MM $1.86MM). FY 17/18.\nIn May 2017, the CTC approved for future consideration of funding a project located in Modoc County that proposes to replace the Butte Creek Bridge and the Ash Creek Bridge (02-Mod-299, PM 0.5, 1.0). The proposed project will restore long-term reliability and reduce the need for continued maintenance and repairs. This project is programmed in the 2016 SHOPP for $10,836,000 in construction (capital and support) and Right of Way (capital and support). Construction is estimated to begin in Fiscal Year 2018-19. The scope, as described for the preferred alternative, is consistent with the project scope programmed by the Commission in the 2016 State Highway Operation and Protection Program.\nIn August 2018, it was reported that the CTC allocated $8.45 million for the project to replace the Butte Creek Bridge on State Route 299 EB in Adin, and the Ash Creek Bridge on State Route 299 EB in Modoc county.\n(Source: Action News Now, 8/20/2018)\nCaldwell Creek Bridge (02-Mod-299 23.1/23.6)\nIn January 2018, the CTC allocated the following: $3,019,000. 02-Mod-299 23.1/23.6. Route 299 Near Alturas, from 0.3 mile west to 0.3 mile east of Caldwell Creek Bridge No. 03-0028. Outcome/Output: Construct a new bridge, realign creek channel to historic location, upgrade guardrail, and replace conform pavement. (Future consideration of funding approved under Resolution E-16-67; October 2016).\n(Source: CTC Agenda, January 2018, Agenda Item 2.5b(1))\nIn May 2016, the CTC allocated additional Capital SHOPP funding for Route 299 near Canby, at Caldwell Creek Bridge No. 03-0028 (299 MOD 23.34). Replace bridge. Additional design, survey, and environmental clearance effort is necessary to develop a newly identified full detour instead of the original planned stage construction of the bridge. Also, hydraulics studies have since identified the need to raise the profile of the bridge and address greater creek flows. The increase to support costs also reflects an adjustment using current rates. These changes add $725,000 to the cost of the project.\nAlturas Route 299 Improvements / Canby Highway Advisory Radio Projects\nIn December 2012, the CTC received a request to amend the 2012 STIP to delete the Alturas Route 299 Widening project (PPNO 3368) (apx 299 MOD 39.878) and the Route 299/Route 139 Canby Highway Advisory Radio project (PPNO 3382) (apx 299 MOD 21.124) in Modoc County. MCTC has determined that the two STIP projects are no longer a priority in the region due to a continued economic downturn, slow population increase and business demise. It was deferred to the January 2013 meeting, and deferred again to the March 2013 when it was again... deferred. The original need for the project was first identified by the MCTC in mid 1990's to improve traveler safety and reduce speeds approaching the city. As this segment of two-lane highway enters the City of Alturas, traffic flow can become congested due to the turning movements of vehicles. Business and residential areas exist along this mile long reach where traffic interruptions and queuing occur. Future growth was anticipated, further contributing to congestion and the potential for increased accidents. Shoulder widths vary from 1 foot to 4 feet wide, and mobility of bicycles and pedestrians is a challenge. A project was initiated and programmed in the 1998 and 2000 STIP to address the need by adding a continuous left turn lane, wider shoulders and drainage improvements. Project development work continued over the years until MCTC alerted the Department that local priorities and project support had changed. The unmet need remained until MCTC requested that the Commission reprogram the project in the 2008 STIP, with the Environmental phase to begin in 2011. In a collaborative effort, the Department and MCTC developed a project charter that identified the specific needs of the project; including wider shoulders and crosswalks along with flashing beacons to improve pedestrian mobility and safety, speed radar feedback signs for traffic calming, installation of concrete gutters, culverts and paved areas for drainage improvements. The continuous left turn lane was deleted from the project. However, in August 2012, just after the Department completed the environmental phase, MCTC requested the project be terminated for a second time due to changed local priorities and support for the project. The Department strongly supports the continued development of this project for a number of reasons, including safety, bicyclist and pedestrian support, traffic calming, and congestion issues.\nIn May 2013, the CTC received notice that Caltrans, the City of Alturas and the Modoc County Transportation Commission (MCTC) propose to amend the 2012 STIP to reduce the scope of the Alturas Route 299 Improvements project (PPNO 3368); decreasing the programmed Regional Improvement Program (RIP) funding by $1,010,000, from $3,244,000 to $2,234,000, and removing $1,052,000 of programmed RIP Transportation Enhancement (TE) funds. It is also proposed to program $1,173,000 in RIP funding for a new pedestrian improvements project (PPNO 2534) along the Alturas Central Business District in Modoc County. Specifically, in a collaborative effort to identify the specific needs of this project, the department and MCTC have negotiated an agreement to reduce the scope of improvements along Route 299. It is proposed to remove lower priority TE elements from the scope of work, while improving the shoulder width and drainage systems for bicyclists and pedestrians. Three new radar feedback signs for traffic calming will also be installed. This scope reduction will allow $2,062,000 to be returned to Modoc County's regional share balance. The design work necessary for revising the scope will delay construction from FY 2013-14 to FY 2014-15. MCTC proposes to program a new pedestrian improvement project, the Alturas Central Business District project (PPNO 2534) with $1,173,000 from Modoc County's regional share balance. The project proposes to improve existing facilities adjacent to surface streets along the central business district of the city of Alturas. This project is higher priority for the county and includes TE eligible elements that will enhance pedestrian mobility in the downtown area.\nIn August 2018, the CTC approved $4,074,000 in SHOPP funding for Modoc 02-Mod-299 51.9/52.5: Route 299: Near Cedarville, from 0.6 mile west of Cedar Pass Ski Tow Road to Cedar Pass Ski Tow Road. Outcome/Output: Improve safety by realigning roadway curves, widening lane and shoulder widths, improving roadside clear recovery zone and drainage, and installing a drapery system to prevent rockfall. This project will reduce the number and severity of collisions.\n(Source: August 2018 CTC Agenda Item 2.5f.(3) Item 4)\nThe segment between US 101 and Redding (HUM 0.000 to SHA 24.082) is named the \"Trinity Scenic Byway\".

It was named in memory of Robert \"Bob\" Thompson,a fourth-generation resident of Shasta County and the grandson of ranchers who came to Eastern Shasta County in the 1930s. Robert Thompson's background in farming and ranching began as a toddler on the Hat Creek Hereford Ranch and, as a young person, he became active in 4-H and the Future Farmers of America (FFA). Robert Thompson attended a two-room schoolhouse for five years in elementary school, was active in student government, athletics, and FFA in high school, and graduated from Fall River High School in 1967. After high school, Robert Thompson attended California State University, Chico where he met his wife of 49 years, Alice Hutchings. While at Chico State, Robert and Alice Thompson's only son, Perry, was born and Robert Thompson worked several jobs to put himself and his wife through school without incurring large student loan debt. When Robert, Alice, and Perry returned home after college, Robert continued his involvement in agriculture by helping to run the family ranch while Alice began her 37-year teaching career. While Robert Thompson loved working with cattle, farming the land, and being involved in numerous agricultural organizations, he turned his focus to construction to \"pay the bills\". With guidance and support from his father, Robert Thompson and his brother-in-law Howard Lakey became founders and coowners of Hat Creek Construction. Robert Thompson and Howard Lakey began operating Hat Creek Construction from humble beginnings with a used Toyota pickup truck and several home remodel projects. As Hat Creek Construction grew, the company began building homes and cabins in the Eagle Lake area and soon the company expanded into road building, hydro construction, and general engineering work. Today Hat Creek Construction is a dominant force in the construction industry and an area leader in asphalt, concrete, and aggregate delivery and placement. Robert Thompson was able to consult and advise until the time of his passing and witnessed his beloved company and team complete its largest season ever, while proudly providing jobs for 125 local employees.
