Samsung Galaxy S3 & Note 2 Android 4.2 update timeframe
The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is gathering pace with more flagship smartphones that use the platform seeing the later version of the operating system reaching them, but last week Google muddied the waters a bit by announcing another version of the Jelly Bean software. Today we now have news of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 Android 4.2 update timeframe.
Google has already begun pushing out the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update to the Samsung Galaxy S3, even though users in the US and some customers of certain carriers in the UK are still waiting for the software to arrive.
The Galaxy Note 2 was launched with the software already on board but now as GottaBe Mobile is reporting there are reports that Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is being tipped to arrive on the handsets during the first quarter of next year.
If the rumours are correct the two smartphones will be the first Samsung devices to receive the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update, and the quarter runs from January through to March. Obviously this news hasn’t been confirmed by Samsung themselves so the usual pinch of salt is needed, but considering the specifications of the two handsets and the fact they are currently the flagship devices in the company’s line up, being the first to receive Android 4.2 makes sense.
Of course as with all Android software updates the arrival of them depends on individual carriers giving the software the OK, but the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 are extremely popular devices selling millions around the world.
The software that was only announced last week is a minor update to Jelly Bean that still brings with it some new features such as Photo Sphere, Daydream, and the Gesture-enabled Keyboard among other things.
Only yesterday we had a leaked Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean ROM for the original Galaxy Note, but its replacement is just reaching consumers in the US so there will be even more users looking forward to the first quarter of next year.
While some Android users get fed up waiting for new updates to arrive, those that have hardware already running Android Jelly Bean are arguably using the best version of the operating system so far, and waiting a while for a newer version is not too much of a hardship.
How are you finding Android Jelly Bean?

Redmi A2 and Redmi A2+ are the two latest smartphones launched by Xiaomi in India. The company took the wraps off the duo today via a virtual event. Both the smartphones are similar in terms of features and most specifications. The question is what does the ‘+’ mean in the Redmi A2+ and how are both the phones different. Difference in pricing and variants
Let’s take a look at the pricing of the two smartphones.
TheRedmi A2 is the cheaper version, of course. It comes in three variants -- 2GB + 32GB, 2GB + 64GB and 4GB + 64GB, while the Redmi A2+ is available only in one -- 4GB + 64GB variant. That’s one difference between the two phones.
They also differ in terms of pricing. The Redmi A2 price starts at Rs 5,999 for the base variant. The other two variants are priced at Rs 6,499 and Rs 7,499. On the other hand, the Redmi A2+ is priced at Rs 8,499.Specifications are more or less similar
Both the phones are siblings and they are a lot similar starting from the name to internals. For instance, both Redmi A2 and Redmi A2+ feature the same 6.52-inch HD+ display with 720x1600 pixel resolution. This means, the ‘+’ symbol does not mean a bigger display as it is usually the case with other smartphones carrying the ‘+’ or ‘Plus’ moniker. Certainly that’s not the case with Redmi A2 and Redmi A2+ here.
The duo are even powered by the same octa-core MediaTek Helio G26 chipset paired with up to 4GB of RAM. Also, both the phones offer 64GB storage options. Both come with expandable storage via the hybrid SIM slot.
In fact, both the phones are equipped with exactly sama camera setup of an 8MP sensor at the back and a 5MP selfie camera at the front of the phone. Both also have the same 5000mAh battery with 10W charging support. What’s the ‘+’ factor with Redmi A2+
The only difference between the two phones and the reason why Xiaomi is charging around Rs 1,000 for the A2+ is fingerprint scanner. The Redmi A2+ is equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and the Redmi A2 does not.

If you’re wondering how to make beaded beads, or whether you should try this, then ‘yes’ you should! So, let me tell you my top three reasons for loving beaded beads.
Reason 1: Make Beaded Beads for a ‘Beading fix’
Are you one of those people who never seems to have enough time to fit beading into your life? So, you end up putting off projects because you know you’ll get started, but never find the time to finish.
At the same time, you’re just itching to get that ‘beading fix’.
Well, beaded beads are the perfect solution.
Even the most complicated beaded bead I ever made, only took an hour. That was following someone else’s pattern and learning a technique that was unfamiliar to me at the time.
You might be thinking, ‘that’s all very well for her – she’s experienced!’ But the beaded bead I’m thinking of was many years ago. At the time I had virtually no experience with beaded beads and only a little beading experience.
At the other end of the scale, this beaded bead takes less than ten minutes to make. So, you could have half a bracelet done in an hour!
So, stop making excuses! If you’re short of time, get your beading fix from making beaded beads!
Reason 2: Make beaded beads to learn a technique
If you’re new to beading, then look for some beaded bead patterns. You can make beaded beads to learn a new technique.
Since they are quick to make, you can soon decide whether or not you enjoy the technique. Then, if you do, you can invest in a bigger project using your new skills.
But don’t be too quick to judge. It’s pretty common to struggle with a new technique at first. That can make you begin to doubt whether it is right for you. Often, it’s just the frustration of trying to learn something new. So, if you are making beaded beads, you can practise over and over as you make each new bead. You will then find the point where the technique ‘clicks’. And you can turn your little collection of beaded beads into a lovely piece of jewellery.
In the photo gallery above, the beads on the left use Peyote stitch. I used netting for the fish beaded beads. And, believe it or not, the beads on the right were developed using Right Angle Weave.
So, if you fancy trying something new, pick a technique, then look for a beaded bead pattern that uses it.
Reason 3: Make beaded beads to try out new bead shapes
Yes, the third reason I love to make beaded beads is to try out some of the shaped seed beads. I’ve just explained that beaded beads are quick to make. You’ve just discovered that you can make beaded beads using pretty much any technique.
So, if I’m given some new shaped or multi-holed seed beads to work with, a beaded bead is a great place to start. Think of this like a small-scale project that gives you the chance to see how the beads will slot together, what beads they fit with and which techniques work best.
Now, you may not be a designer. But reason number 3 still applies. Have you ever been browsing a bead shop and seen a tube of new shaped seed beads? They fascinated you, but you didn’t know whether to buy them. I mean, what if you couldn’t use them, or you hated working with them?
Well, most beaded bead patterns require just a few beads. So, that one tube of experimental beads will actually go quite a long way. By using your new shaped bead to make a new beaded bead, you get to test whether you like the beads or not. If you do, great – you can look for more patterns and bigger projects.
If you don’t, well you haven’t invested too much time or money in learning that these beads are not for you! But you probably have enough beaded beads to make some jewellery which you may enjoy wearing, selling or gifting to a friend. I think that’s a win-win.
My Challenge: design and make beaded beads each week of 2019
Have you seen my 2019 beading challenge? I’ve decided to try to design and publish a new beaded bead pattern every week during 2019.
I’m writing this at the end of week three and I’ve managed to make and publish my third pattern.
I have a little list of ideas, but I’m inviting you to make some suggestions too. So, is there a technique you would like to try? Or is there a shaped seed bead you want me to use?
Please add your suggestions in the comments and if I make a pattern from your idea, I will gift it to you for free!
While you’re thinking about that, do please enjoy my third new beaded bead pattern of 2019… The Sheep Beaded Bead>>

The Cardinal Newman Society (CNS) is claiming that several outspoken professors and political activities on Catholic university campuses helped Sen. Barack Obama win the Catholic vote.
Citing exit polls showing Obama’s capture of 54 percent of the Catholic vote and his inroads among Mass-attending and white Catholics, the Cardinal Newman Society’s report voices concern that prominent Catholic educators and schools helped elect the pro-abortion rights President-elect Obama.
In particular, the CNS report claims Boston College theology professor Lisa Sowle Cahill, Duquesne law professor Nicholas Cafardi and Notre Dame theology professor Cathleen Kaveny “publicly challenged” bishops’ statements encouraging Catholics to oppose pro-abortion rights candidates.
Nine professors at Catholic colleges and universities served on Obama's Catholic National Advisory Committee.
Xavier University in Cincinnati hosted an Obama "Campaign for Change" rally on the eve of Election Day, while St. Peter's College in New Jersey hosted an Obama rally featuring a choir of Catholic schoolchildren.
The Cardinal Newman Society also notes that several Catholic colleges and universities have selected pro-abortion politicians as commencement speakers and honorees.
In 2004 the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops ruled that “the Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions,” the society pointed out.

A Lodi, CA 95240 rescue helping to find loving homes for dogs, cats.
1 - 3 of 3 Adoptable Pets at This Shelter
We serve the San Joaquin Valley and surrounding areas.
Hoofs Paws and Claws Haven (HPCH) is an all volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to helping animals in our surrounding community. We rescue a variety of animals, and actively search for their forever homes. This is provided we have a foster home available. We take in dogs from local shelters and also strays. We also provide a safe "haven" for any animal who may not be adoptable.
HPCH is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, our tax ID # is 47-3887603. Your donations are fully tax deductible and fund our operations and help pay our vet expenses.
HPCH is dedicated to reducing the number of homeless pets through the spaying/neutering of all our rescued dogs. We provide information on low cost or no cost spay/neuter clinics in our surrounding areas.
Each dog that comes to us has been updated on shots, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Many of our dogs have also been treated for various medical conditions including mange, heart worms, broken bones, neurological issues, etc. One of our dogs can take anywhere from one month to one year to get ready for adoption and the cost for the dogs we take on can range from $150 to several thousand dollars. We take on dogs from shelters that are set to be euthanized for various reasons, including simply that they've been there too long, or they have a medical condition that precludes them from adoption to the public, making them "rescue only." This means only a rescue can pull them from the shelter, but also leaves us to be responsible for any costs for things that the dog requires.
We also take on strays and incur the cost of having them vaccinated, spayed, neutered and microchipped. We take on owner surrenders, dogs who owners can no longer provide care. We insure a safe house for all of the dogs that we take on and provide all needed supplies for the foster homes that care for them until they are to be adopted. We also insure that they never end up in a shelter.
Our adoptable dogs live in foster homes and meet and greets are done by appointment only.

According to reports out Sunday morning, Angelina Jolie's political ambitions with the United Nations may have caused a rift between her and Brad Pitt, at least based on a source "close to the couple."
TMZ is reporting that Jolie's dream had been to become a top official with the UN -- which makes sense, considering all the charity work and traveling to developing nations that she does -- but that didn't fly at home with Brad.

Yesterday the sleepy town of Victoria in Gozo was taken over by one of Malta’s top drum & bass outfits. Urban Kaos Promotions took the liberty in inviting two Canadian MC’s from Toronto at the end of their mini-Euro tour.
A freestyle over some massive DnB tracks at the local Urban Warfare Crew shop.
With a DJ setup, two monitors, a camera and an optimistic crew, they were blasting DnB so loud it was spilling out into the street. Being such an unlikely genre to hear on the old streets of Victoria, people walking by curiously peered inside to find out where this truly alien sound was coming from.
Our Canadian visitors MC Zee & Killah Emcee took turns rapping over whatever beats were thrown at them on the Barricade Radio live broadcast, which included appearances from Biggie, Kry Zo P, EzC, Deejay Bee & Mr Kind.
We hope that this type of setup will continue to take place on both Malta and Gozo to showcase the many subcultures of music that Malta is so blessed with.

Need Succulent ID
I purchased this succulent 6 months or so ago with several other "assorted succulents," but it is the only one that is not doing well. I have done many Google searches and seen succulents that looked similar, but nothing that looks quite like what I have. As you can see, it is alive, but it has not been growing new leaves upon losing old ones. The second stalk has just about nothing left. I'm hoping by identifying it, I can figure out how to care for it properly! I have attached photos.

In the Munay Ki, here we connect with the lineage of the sacred earthkeepers, those that hold the earth in their hands, with deep universal love. These beings are stewards of the earth, they are connected to the forces that hold the earth in its orbit around the sun, and the sun in orbit around our galaxy.
The wisdom, energies, qualities of these earthkeepers can be called on for assistance to bring balance and harmony in our lives..
Some call these ‘angels’, ‘archangels’, ‘luminous beings’ or ‘being from other planets’ or ‘dimensions’ and/or ‘guardians of our galaxy’. These may be the beings that you may feel are with you when you need them, they may be the angels you call on for support , when you feel that ‘you are not alone’, that you have loving support with you. With this rite, we are stepping more and more into the metaphysical, and into the re-remembering of what has been in the recent past, less well known realms/energies/experiences. As we gift and receive these rites, we can feel and experience our own perceptions of these beings. (Don Jicaram in Island of the Sun (to Alberto, and translated by Alberto); ‘shamans have no need of faith, we have experience’. And this rite and beyond, experience is the key for me.
And with these earthkeepers rites, we can remember that we too are earthkeepers, working on the earth, and we can live with integrity and respect, and love with the earth from this level. With this rite we can remember the sacred that is within us, the sacred that is us, and re-remember that we are part of this linesage of ‘angelic’ beings’.
As such, we can step into our power as seers – visionaries, and dreamers of the world into being – realising the potential to
And as Alberto says, we can see way beyond time, we can see the cause and effect within this time, how much each individual can and does impact on the rest of the world, with each action, and even which each thought, and we can realise how a single blessing can still have an impact on a child seven generations later. It is said that from this place, we can also begin to change how our body heals and grows- we are able to age differently.
These rites give us/ remind us of our connection to the stars, including our closest star that gives us so much life – our sun.
helps you learn to dream the world into being. has stewardship over all earth, understands impact of each thoughts, action, how a single blessing can
where we can source ourselves from the stars and beyond, and bring this energy for great healing in this earth.
It is said to, to help develop our ways as seers and dreamers of the world into being.
And Alberto also tells how, having worked through what we have worked through in previous rites, as earthkeepers, who are able to call on these angelic beings, these energies,, and dream when we are awake, and be awake even when we dream, and we can begin grow a body that grows differently, ages differently, dies differently- though maybe doesn’t really die at all….
Here we are stewards of life.
the ability to hold the earth in the palm of our hands, and work together to dream the world into being from this beautiful perspective of a place.
This rite is to further awaken the sacred that is within us – the sacred that is us.
This rite connects us to the lineage of angels, remembering that we too, are angels – and that we are god, manifesting as ourselves, experiencing this reality, with it’s individualities, in the individuality of each being on earth. and each angelic force in the universal skies.
It is a deep connection too, to the universal love.
At first, I was puzzled about the use of ‘earthkeepers’ for this rite (it is called something different in the medicine wheel), as at first I thought of those working deep within the earth, as stewards of the earth, as with the daykeepers rites, and also too I have found this in the wisdom keeper rites. With these rites, I guess are a unification of the masculine and feminine, as it does not seem to be more one than another, it just is. universal love. The image I often have when I think of these rites, are of two hands holding the earth – symbolising the earthkeepers that hold this earth, and all who live upon it, a steward of life on earth. A connection to the stars, including our sun is part of this, as this is also what the sun does to the earth, it’s presence holds the earth in it’s orbit round the sun, and nurtures and gives life to plants and animals – to us.
And as well as holding the earth from this level, earthkeepers can and do hold and steward the earth from living on the earth itself.
Of course, each person experiences these rites differently, and whatever images, feelings come, they can change each time, here is just one example of an experience (quite different to my experience in many ways – i’m still to find the words to describe my experience adequately, yet the essence of it has similarities, and the images are similar to the image I often have in my mind when I think of these rites ) ;
“As I was receiving this rite I received images of great luminous beings cradling the earth, but not only the earth, even bigger ones were holding the galaxy and some were holding the entire universe! I experienced universal love, I had read about “universal love” in esoteric books, but reading and experiencing it are two very different things! ”
What I got from the rites was that we are all taken care of, we have nothing to fear, and no reason to worry about the future or the past, we are definitely not alone! There is and always has been someone by your side, and there always will be a guiding angel watching out for you and holding everything that you are.
Having this rite has left me feeling that I have a great responsibility to life, one where I need courage and integrity. “

Small Businesses Struggle With Obamacare
Instead it will be forced to "plow more money into employees' benefits," Jerdonek says. "Insurance companies have additional requirements put on them. The costs are passed onto the consumer and in this case the consumer is the small-business owner. That's the pressure it puts on me. That money has to come from somewhere. The price elasticity for our clients isn't very stretchy."
Jerdonek says offering excellent health coverage and benefits is a major factor in retaining employees, so it's not something to be toyed with. "We are in a highly competitive [industry]," he says. "We have to attract and retain really smart people and in order to have the really smart people we have to do more than other firms are willing to do. And one of the things we do is we pay a substantial amount of our employees' health- care premium."
Visiting Angels CEO Larry Meigs said the message the in-home senior care franchise is sending to franchisees is encouragement to grow instead of trying to avert the law.
"We're working hard to encourage to all of our franchisees to grow their way out of this as opposed to pulling back," Meigs says. "If you pull back to have only part-timers you're really going to be limited to provide your services. In our case the employees are the service themselves."The in-home senior care franchise has roughly 450 offices that employee about 50,000 caregivers. Meigs says about 40% of his franchisees would meet the employer mandate. That said, the company has pulled back on education and planning suggestions for its franchisees. "Now what we tell them today might be outdated six months from now," Meigs says. "Even at our conference in Baltimore two weeks ago, we had three different attorneys give workshops [on health care reform] and every one of them qualified their remarks. We have similar workshops scheduled for the remainder of the year -- we're retooling the events to be more generic. We don't want to be handing out a lot of information that's going to become prehistoric six months from now." -- Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York.

VH-71/VXX Presidential Helicopter Program: Background and Issues for Congress
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON DC CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE
Pagination or Media Count:
The VH-71 program is intended to provide 23 new presidential helicopters to replace the current fleet of 19 aging presidential helicopters. As part of its proposed FY2010 Department of Defense DOD budget, the Administration is proposing to terminate the VH-71 program in response to substantial cost growth and schedule delays in the program. As a successor to the VH-71 program, the Administration is proposing to begin a new presidential helicopter program in FY2010 called the VXX Presidential Helicopter Program. The Administrations proposed FY2010 budget requests 85.2 million in Navy research and development funding for the VH-71 program. Of this total, 55.2 million is for terminating the VH-71 program and 30 million is for initial studies on the proposed successor VXX program. The issue for Congress is whether to approve the Administrations proposal to terminate the VH- 71 program and initiate a successor VXX program, or pursue another course, such as continuing the VH-71 program in some restructured form. Congresss decision on the issue could affect DOD funding requirements, the schedule for replacing the 19 older helicopters, and the helicopter industrial base. This report will be updated as events warrant.

Last Piece of Puzzle for Ovine Johne's Management Plan
All sheep producers will be encouraged to fill in declarations about the health of their stock - despite it not being compulsory in several states.
The industry's peak bodies Sheepmeat Council and WoolProducers have finalised the Sheep Health Statements - to help farmers prevent the spread of the sheep wasting disease Ovine Johne's.
It's the last piece of the puzzle to get a National OJD Management Plan in place by the beginning of July.
Farmers are asked to declare if the flock has been exposed to any pests or diseases.
Sarina Locke spoke to Geoff Power, the President of the National Peak Body WoolProducers.
He says the health statement should help provide sheep purchasers with more information about the sheep they are buying.
Kids Don't Shy Away from Hugging a Big Lycra Apple
The role of farmers is varied and broad- they're an agronomist, financial planner and weather forecaster all rolled into one.
But two apple producers have taken their jobs a step further - they dress up as apples to encourage primary school children to eat more fruit.
The program's called Fruit for Life and it's been running for 12 years.
Laura Poole spoke with Gippsland apple growers Helene Armour and Marie Harding - they say the program gets a surprising reaction from children - with some being inspired to eat an apple for the first time!

I've been searching recently for PHP jobs
So, I went to /jobs, and searched for
php, all I got is like.. around... 10 jobs with the remote flag set, or around 30 if the remote flag is unset
However, if I go the
Search companies tab, and search for PHP, I get hundreds of companies with jobs with

So why searching for companies bring results more than normal job search?

The Shawano Area Chapter of Walleyes for Tomorrow set up their Portable Hatchery (commonly known as the Walleye Wagon) over a month ago in the village of Cecil on the shores of Shawano Lake. The last three weeks however have been spent working with the WDNR gathering and preparing the valuable gold for the Hatchery. The DNR happened to be performing fish surveys on the Lake this year as well. The fish caught in the nets were recorded and released while some such as the musky were measured, weighed, tagged and had a scale sample taken. (Note WDNR Fisheries Biologist Alan Niebur holding and releasing the muskies in the photos below.)
The last report indicates that there were approximately 3.75 million eggs gathered for this years project. This is the third year the Hatchery has been operating on this site and the third year Mother Nature has refused to cooperate with a winter season that refuses to give up.
Preliminary results of the DNR Survey tells us that some of the larger than fingerling walleyes released in 2011 are doing well.

The Colorado Buffaloes trip to the Big House comes with a nice incentive.
A guaranteed $1.4 Million dollar payday for CU was part of the agreement with Michigan, when the two schools agreed to be part of each others non-conference future schedules in 2011. The scheduled match up was the last game outside the Pac-12 conference scheduled by former Athletic Director Mike Bohn.
After a 19-year hiatus, the Buffs and Wolverines will meet for the first time since the famous "Miracle at Michigan," that shocked the world when quarterback Kordell Stewart's 64-yard hail mary touchdown pass was tipped by Michigan defenders and landed into the arms of wide receiver Michael Westbrook for a 27-26 win.
The experience will be exciting for Buffs fans traveling to Michigan, as they will be part of the biggest crowd to see a football game in CU history. The last Big Ten conference opponent for Colorado was on Sept. 24, 2011 against the Ohio State Buckeyes, resulting in a 37-17 loss at the Horseshoe. The payout for that contest was similar to this affair with $1.4 million dollars heading CU's direction.
In fact, the figure of $1.4 million is significant to college football. Legendary Florida State coach Bobby Bowden was the first to hit the million dollar mark and that was the amount of his salary in 1995. Ironically enough, $1.4 million is also the early payback clause in the current contract for Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.
So, if CU goes into the Big House and pulls off a monumental upset against Michigan and for some reason Harbaugh resigns after the game, Michigan would get their money back.
The game between Michigan and Colorado was originally scheduled for a national telecast on ESPN, but has since been moved to the Big Ten Network. The two schools will meet on Sept. 17 with kickoff scheduled for 1:30 p.m. mountain time.

Application Of Software Product Line-Based Architecture In An SME
thesisposted on 2021-12-01, 22:56 authored by Jodie Buggea
This project aims to provide methodology on a digital product line for an SME by using techniques more commonly seen in larger companies. Through techniques drawn from Software Product Lines, Service-Oriented Architecture and Microservices, I design the implementation for such a system. This is applied to one particular company to prove that the methodology has practical grounding. The practical lessons are then lifted to the general SME level, evaluating key benefits, drawbacks and indicators for readiness in the adoption of a similar system. Finally I look that how research could further be developed, such as with AI-driven re-configuration and wider practical testing.

The Programme Specialist of UNESCO, Mr Tirso Dos Santos, has asked parents to encourage and teach their children to read by exposing them to all kinds of books at an early stage.
This, he said, would help the country to reach the goal of education for all by 2015 and improve on the quality of education.
Mr Santos, who was speaking at the launch of “Accra Reads” an initiative by the Goethe Institute to whip up the interests of Ghanaians, especially those in the deprived communities in reading.
The project was on the theme “ Creating leaders through reading”.
He said, in modern societies, information was mostly written and, therefore, emphasised the need for all to take interest in reading.
Mr Santos pledged that UNESCO would support the project, stating that its interest in reading was also a means of promoting peace.
Under the project, the team from Goethe Institute together with other collaborators would move from community to community to educate children about the importance of reading and provide them with some reading materials.
A book titled, 'Kondua’s Arch' by Yaw Ababio Boateng is being used for the project, under which schoolchildren are expected to read and give their comments about the book.
The programme, which was held at the Nima Community Library, also provided a platform for some selected schoolchildren to listen and interact with a number of Ghanaian music stars such as Paapa Yankson and Richie Mensah.
The Executive Secretary of the Ghana Book Publishers Association, Mr Fauna Atta Frimpong, commended Goethe Institute for the project and underlined that there was no alternative to reading since it was the foundation of life and must, therefore, be taken seriously.
He called on all to support the project which has the following as partners: the Ghana Library Board, Ghana Book Publishers Association, UNESCO, Ghana Library Association, Ghana Association of Writers, Ministry of Education and Readwide Ghana among others.

DESCRIPTION Aniseed is an annual plant with an average height of 30 to 50 cm. The plant is completely covered with fine hairs. Aniseed is ground-grey to greyish brown in colour,3 to 5mm in length, oval in shape with short stalk attached. Five longitudinal ridges are visible on each pericarp. Vittae (oil ducts) are almost always present embedded in the fruit wall beneath the ridges. It has a characteristic agreeable odour and a pleasant aromatic taste. USES It is used mainly as a flavourant, culinary, household, cosmetic and medicinal. The fruit of anis, commercially called aniseed is widely used for flavouring curries, bread, soups, baked goods, dried figs, deserts, cream cheese, pickles, egg dishes, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. The essential oil is valuable in perfumery. The oil is used for production of anethole and sometimes as sensitizer for bleaching colours in photography. The other functional properties are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant, stimulant, carminative and expectorant.

Overview Anise Seed is related to cumin and fennel. It is an annual plant that is indigenous to the Eastern Mediterranean region and cultivated in parts of the world. It is very often used in Middle Eastern cooking, particularly in dishes that contain vegetables as the basis of the flavours. Anise Seed is not related to star anise. Common Uses The licoricey taste of Anise Seed is most commonly used to make liqueurs such as Ouzo, Anisete and Pernod. It is widely used in cake baking and cookies, such as Italian biscotti. Citrus fruits in its fresh form are elevated with a sprinkle of Anise Seeds. It complements dark breads and is often used in chutneys. Recommended Storage The most important point is that dried herbs and spices can never go bad if they are kept dry. Yes, the potency is lost, but it will still influence the flavor of your cooking. Seeds, roots, leaves and flowers last longer than crushed or ground herbs and spices. When you are preparing to store your dry herbs and spices it is vital that they are completely dry. A good indication is to rub it with your finger to check if it crumbles. As oxygen degrades dried herbs and spices over time, you should store them in airtight containers. Glass jars with sealable lids are perfect, and so are metal tins. Plastic won't do for long terms storage. Sunlight also degrades dried herbs and spices; therefore, it should be stored in a dark cabinet that is both cool and dry. If your spice rack is near the stove or cooker, steam will degrade your herbs and spices each time you open the container while cooking. When buying in bulk, you should always store only some of the dried herbs and spices in a glass or metal container. Each time you open it, it is exposed to the elements. When buying in bulk it is useful to label your containers with the purchase date and discard date.

Jenna Reed-Cote and Katrina Darielle Valdez mapped the accessibility of Vancouver for people with disabilities as part of a research project. Photo by Alexa Fernando
By Louise Kinross
Nearly 60 per cent of public buildings and spaces in Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa are not accessible to people with disabilities, or only partially accessible, according to a study called Mapping Our Cities for All (MOCA) by AccessNow.
AccessNow is a crowdsourcing app that allows users to rate the accessibility of restaurants, hotels, storefronts, parks, community centres and other public spaces. It was designed by Maayan Ziv, a Toronto entrepreneur and disability activist who uses a wheelchair.
Her group trained over 40 mappers, including youth with disabilities, to assess over 14,000 locations on a wide variety of accessibility features. Everything from whether a spot has automatic doors and flush toilets to whether it’s well lit for visibility, there are lower counters and Braille signage. In addition to the three cities, 17 small rural towns in Alberta were assessed.
“One of the most common tags we observed was for accessible parking, whereas sign language was the least,” says Mayaan Ziv, founder and CEO of AccessNow. “This is concerning for the over 350,000 deaf and over three million hard-of-hearing people in Canada.”
Calgary fared the worst on inclusion, with only 35% of public buildings accessible. “Calgary is home to many heritage buildings which need remediation,” Mayaan says. “Accessibility standards are incomplete and don’t reflect elements like customer service or digital access within the built environment.” A partially accessible business may have an accessible entrance, but not an accessible bathroom.
In Vancouver, 49 per cent of public buildings were rated accessible. In Ottawa it was 53 per cent.
In terms of sectors, education services, which includes schools and universities, was the least inclusive, with less than 35 per cent of locations rated accessible.
Sectors with at least half of businesses rated accessible were health and personal care, real estate, finance and insurance, clothing and accessories, and sporting good stores.
Urban areas had 44 per cent of businesses within the accessible category, compared to 39 per cent in rural areas.
Inaccessibility can make getting around dangerous for people with disabilities. It can also result in inequitable healthcare and housing, and make necessities like going to the grocery store, difficult.
“As far as we are aware, no similar accessibility research effort of this scale has ever been completed,” Mayaan says. “This type of research can easily be replicated in cities and communities across Canada using the AccessNow app.” MOCA hopes to map Toronto, Montreal, Halifax and Winnipeg next.
“Accessibility is a fundamental human right,” Mayaan says. “At AccessNow, we envision a world where everyone can navigate their surroundings with ease and dignity, regardless of their abilities.”

greater number of travellers passing hastily through the city. Nor is it less worthy of remark, that the two most important temples of Venice, next to the ducal chapel, owe their size and magnificence, not to national effort, but to the energy of the Franciscan and Dominican monks, supported by the vast organization of those great societies on the mainland of Italy, and countenanced by the most pious, and perhaps also, in his generation, the most wise, of all the princes of Venice, [Footnote: Tomaso Mocenigo, above named, Section V.] who now rests beneath the roof of one of those very temples, and whose life is not satirized by the images of the Virtues which a Tuscan sculptor has placed around his tomb.

Calgary is an energetic city with a healthy balance of work and play. Perhaps that’s why Calgary is home to over one million people, and growing.
So much so that we've been making special visitors honourary Calgarians with our White Hat ceremony for about 60 years. Today, the white Smithbilt cowboy hat is an internationally recognized symbol of Calgary and our Western hospitality. Whether they’re here with over a million other people for the annual Calgary Stampede, or just visiting friends, people always comment on how safe, clean and friendly the city is.
The weather in Calgary is also part of the appeal, thanks to Chinook winds that can warm a winter day by 15°C (27°F) in a matter of hours. And while summer days can near 30°C (86°F), most evenings cool for comfortable sleeping when the sun sets. Speaking of the sun — our northern latitude means our summer days are longer. On peak summer days, we enjoy daylight until 10pm — perfect for a round of golf or lounging on a patio. That big sky of ours also shines down more days of sunshine than any other major Canadian city. Calgary is in Mountain Standard Time, the same as Denver, and observes daylight savings.
Certainly, Calgary has a cowboy spirit. It’s entrepreneurial. It’s charming. But it’s also refined and cosmopolitan. The sparkling skyline reaches out of the foothills just as Calgary reaches out to the world. From international flavours — Calgary has one of the largest Chinatowns in Canada — to international headquarters, the city welcomes the world.
Calgary also presents a contradiction in that it’s both business and pleasure. Honestly. The two really do intermingle with great efficiency. Maybe it’s the numerous golf courses. Perhaps it’s the countless corporate parties during Stampede. Or it’s just because we’re so easy to get along with. Regardless of why, Calgarians know how to throw a dash of fun into even the busiest day.

The directorial debut of Jedd and Todd Wider cobbles a somber portrait of a woman’s final days.
May 3, 2008, the body of Linda Bishop was discovered in an abandoned farmhouse in Concord, New Hampshire. Her legs draped across a heating vent on the floor, next to her corpse were a pair of sneakers, an ice scraper, some blankets, a pillow, and two notebooks. One of the last entries read, “To whomever finds my body, my death is the result of domestic violence/abuse.” The hows and whys of what brought this well-educated and loving mother to her untimely demise is a mystery that probes the horrors that nearly two million abandoned citizens face in this country every day. Who are these people we ignore at stoplights? What did they call home before that hobo camp beneath the underpass? What can we do besides drop a few coins in their Styrofoam cup?
God Knows Where I Am is a ghostly recreation of Linda Bishop’s last days on Earth. Directors Jedd and Todd Wider (producers of Alex Gibney’s Taxi to the Dark Side and Mea Maxima Culpa making their directorial debut) assemble the appropriate talking heads with the prospective homebuyer who found her body, the owners of the property, the police officer, the medical examiner, Linda’s sister, her friends, and her daughter. They cobble together archival footage consisting of old home movies and photographs and are able to illustrate a life of warm embrace. To provide the voice of Linda’s final narrative, actress Lori Singer whispers from off screen, and the documentary takes on a spiritual presence that feels almost objectionably intimate. We are peering into a soul in torment, but the Widers treat this privilege with reverence without falling into exploitation.
For nearly four months, Linda survived a punishing New Hampshire winter confined to the vacant Fenbrook Farm at 393 Mountain Road. Without any electricity or creature comforts, she maintained her body on nothing but apples snatched from a tree behind the house and water pulled from a nearby brook. She occupied her mind by picking through the relics in the attic, constructing a history for the family that once lived there, and detailing her own turmoil in the pages of her journal. Her words depicted a woman on the run, fleeing from those who would do her harm and desperate to reunite with her family.
However, Linda was not isolated. As rural as Concord, New Hampshire, can be, Fenbrook Farm was within eyesight of the freeway. She was 500 feet from her nearest neighbor, and as noted by the first police officer on the scene, one could watch their big screen TV from the living room in which Linda took her last breath. Why not reach out for help? Why condemn yourself to such a slow, painful, and ugly death? The truth is a tragedy our society seems incapable of accepting or even understanding. When the danger revealed exposes the fragility of our most revered concept of independent thought then it is simply easier to divorce ourselves from the situation. It’s their problem. Best of luck.
“Dear God, please save me.” Those are the first words from Linda offered to us by the documentarians. “I’m trying, but I don’t know what to do.” This plea comes before the opening credits, and it’s a quiet, haunting petition from a human being once described by her friends as deeply “involved with people.” She was a veracious reader, a magnet for conversation, and the one-time center of attention. A schism in her genetics snatched her personality from her, and robbed of that ability to connect, Linda descended into an abyss of isolation.
She spent years on the street, institutionalized in a variety of social programs, and barely maintained a connection to her daughter. After 9/11 she traveled to New York City and was dubbed “The Angel of Ground Zero” by the New York Post. There were opportunities for rescue, but due to genetic sabotage and the systemic apathy of her assigned social institutions, she was dropped on the porch of Fenbrook Farm. She was a drifter, one of the forgotten, but her emotional pain deserves its story.
God Knows Where I Am will leave you contemplating those you’ve ignored on street corners. The collapse of Linda Bishop is not a singular tragedy. It is a horrible reminder that averting your eyes to sorrow will only perpetuate that misery, and we must reckon with that decision as a populace. Jedd and Todd Wider offer no answers, only empathy. Linda was not a “crazy lady.” She was a loving mother, a devoted sister, and your neighbor.

Depression and panic have soared among younger people in latest yrs.
Melancholy and panic have soared among the youthful persons in latest many years.
For numerous youthful people, Tuesday’s massacre at a Texas elementary university could not have occur at a worse time. Psychological scars are lingering from the pandemic, and universities are closing for the summer time, cutting off college students from their routines and access to campus mental health expert services.
But in some means, college students and schools are improved organized than at any time to offer with tragedies like the a person at Robb Elementary University. Financial commitment in youth mental well being is at an all-time higher in California, and some schools’ relentless concentrate on psychological wellness has minimized the stigma and led to a plethora of mental wellness alternatives that did not exist a several decades in the past.
“There’s been this kind of a target at schools on how we can assistance every other’s mental health,” explained Melissa Wooden, a school psychologist at a Kern County particular education and learning consortium. “There’s even now a great deal a lot more function to do, but I feel we’re on the ideal keep track of.”
Tuesday’s shooting, in which a gunman in Uvalde, Texas, killed 19 children and two instructors, followed considerably less than two weeks right after a capturing at a Buffalo, New York, grocery retail store still left 10 persons lifeless. The tragedies arrive at the conclude of a hard calendar year for college students and college staff members, as they struggled with understanding decline and behavioral and emotional difficulties relevant to the pandemic. While some college students endured the pandemic with very little adversity, other people dropped cherished types to Covid, noticed their mothers and fathers reduce work or grow to be critically sick, and struggled intensely with distant schoolwork or caring for younger siblings.
Back again-to-back issues can guide some children to expertise “complex trauma,” which can have more time-long lasting, and additional major, outcomes on children’s perfectly-remaining than a single traumatic event, according to theNationwide Kid Traumatic Strain Community. Prolonged “fight-or-flight” reactions can have an affect on children’s capability to find out, variety attachments, regulate conduct and make selections. Complex trauma can also impact children’s physical wellness into adulthood, foremost to a larger hazard of coronary heart condition and cancer.
“Compounding trauma is serious. It can actually condition a child’s advancement,” stated Chris Williams, director of faculty-centered mental wellness and wellness at the Sacramento Office of Education and learning. “The increased your score of (adverse childhood ordeals), the much more likely you are to have detrimental impacts.”
Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, California’s former surgeon general, made childhood trauma a cornerstone of her function. She encouraged faculties to display students for trauma, supply ample counseling expert services and teach social and emotional competencies in the classroom.
Given that the pandemic, Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature have poured millions into youth psychological wellbeing, on university campuses, within the overall health treatment system and in the local community. The point out has encouraged districts to open up psychological health clinics and wellness facilities on campus, agreement with regional clinics to present therapy products and services, use more counselors, make investments in social-emotional studying, teach academics to recognize signs of trauma, begin peer counseling plans and choose other methods to support students cope with depression and panic.
The Sacramento County Business office of Schooling lately teamed with the county community overall health office to carry mental health and fitness clinicians to every university in the county, incorporating to schools’ present counseling team. Other counties and districts have produced equivalent moves to streamline the ties amongst educational facilities and general public health and fitness departments, so learners can get entry to free of charge psychological health treatment whenever they need it.
These forms of working day-to-day, systemic adjustments are vital if universities want to see extensive-term improvements in students’ psychological well-becoming, Williams said. Responding to incidents like school shootings is vital, he said, but students’ psychological well being need to be an ongoing precedence.
“We have to get away from the notion of ‘treating’ mental wellness,” he mentioned. “Trauma is not an isolated incident. A faculty shooting is a horrific celebration, interval, but it is just one particular detail pupils may possibly be dealing with.”
There’s loads that parents, instructors and other older people can do to help little ones course of action trauma, Wooden said. For younger little ones, enjoying and art can assist them do the job via feelings of disappointment, panic or confusion. Older college students can discover healthy, nondestructive ways to cope, these as conversing to reliable close friends or grown ups, training, crafting in a journal, undertaking artwork, currently being alone or going somewhere protected and blowing off steam.
Wood encouraged moms and dads to use the summertime months to sluggish down and rest with their small children.
“Make the most of every prospect you have with your little ones,” she claimed. “Put the cellphone down. Shell out time with them one-on-a single. It’ll improve their bond with you. I imagine collectively, we all have to have far more of that.”

When Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson sat down to rewatch the first episodes of The Fast Show, 17 years after broadcast, they were horrified. Not by the standard of the gags – they were happy with that. What alarmed them was their appearance. “It was shocking,” says Whitehouse, 53. “We look so young! Children! Saying rude things! I’d tell them off I met them in the street.” Higson, also 53, shakes his head. “It’s funny – you think you haven’t changed much at all, then you look at the old sketches…”
The reason they’re pondering the effects of ageing is that, more than a decade since The Fast Show’s “last ever” episode, they’ve made a new series. Probably the most fondly remembered sketch show of the 1990s – famed for catchphrases such as “Suit you, sir!”, “Scorchio!” and “Does my bum look big in this?” – is back today.
This time, though, it isn’t on BBC Two. Like Alan Partridge’s Mid Morning Matters and Vic & Bob’s Afternoon Delights, it’s showing on the website of Foster’s, the lager company that has decided to help flog its wares by funding the online-only comebacks of hit comedies. The whole cast has returned, except Mark Williams (“You ain’t seen me, right?”, “I’ll get me coat”); Higson says he was “keen initially but was doing other stuff that clashed”. Still, they are rejoined by Caroline Aherne, who left in 1997 to make The Royle Family.
Whitehouse says they stopped making The Fast Show as its sheer repetitiveness had become wearing; the BBC had wanted a fourth series, but its creators said no. So why come back now?
“When Foster’s said would we do something online, I thought, ‘Well, that is different’,” says Higson. “The whole online area is really interesting – my kids watch a huge amount of TV online, whether YouTube or these illegal sites they visit to watch old series.” In future, he believes, more and more shows will be made online with the backing of corporate sponsors rather than traditional broadcasters. For one thing, there’s the money. For today’s cash-strapped BBC, a sketch show with a six-strong cast, shot in dozens of locations, is a costly proposition; Whitehouse suspects that, if The Fast Show had been pitched to the BBC not in 1993 but in 2011, it wouldn’t have been made.
In the early Nineties, there were no such worries. Higson and Whitehouse were working on Harry Enfield and Chums, when inspiration struck for a show of their own. “We did a press launch for the second Harry Enfield series,” recalls Higson, “and Geoffrey Perkins, the producer, said, ‘I’m not going to show whole sketches, just 10-second snippets.’ And we said, ‘That’s not going to work, they need to see the full sketch.’ But it was amazing how funny it was. We realised that a lot of the conventions of traditional sketches were unnecessary. So we thought, ‘Let’s do a show that’s just highlights.’ ”
Reflecting on the characters they created, the pair are fondest of those “with warmth”, says Whitehouse: Ted and Ralph, for example, the timid aristocrat and the Irish groundskeeper for whom he has an unspoken yearning. “The hardest one for me was ‘Suit you, sir’ [the tailors who speak in sexual innuendo]. They weren’t particularly engaging.” But they’re back all the same: “We’ve got a looting sketch with them, and they’re pleased [the youths] are looting a nice suit instead of those garish trainers and baggy trousers.”
The online Fast Show will, in a sense, be faster than ever: each of the 12 episodes will last just 10 minutes. There will be no new characters: Higson says that if you went to watch a reformed Led Zeppelin, you wouldn’t want them to come on and shout, “We’re going to do some new numbers now – here’s our disco song!” It’s an apt analogy: The Fast Show’s catchphrases are remembered by the public like the choruses of hit singles. Only the other day, says Whitehouse, “My daughter said she’d read two magazines and both of them used ‘Suit you, sir!’ as a headline.”
“To be fair,” says Higson, “that’s because she subscribes to Paul Whitehouse Monthly…”
The new series of ‘The Fast Show’ can be viewed at www.fostersfunny.co.uk from Thursday 10 November at 1.00pm

When We Collide
by A.L. Jackson
From the bestselling author of Pulled and Take This Regret comes a gripping new tale of loss and love.
William has spent six years running from his past and the last eight months trying to rid his mind of the dreams that increasingly haunt his nights. Trapped in a world of false ambitions and feigned affections, William knows he’s reached a breaking point and something’s going to give.
Maggie had lived her entire life without hope until one man showed her what it meant to be loved. He’d been her light in a lifetime of darkness. Six years ago, that darkness stole him away. Without him, she’s surrendered herself to an existence she doesn’t know how to escape.
When the family William left behind is struck by tragedy, he is called back to the one place he’s sworn to never return to again.
In a moment that will change his life forever, William comes face to face with the girl who, with one look, captured his heart. He is unable to ignore the buried desires and the hope for the future they’d once believed they’d have.
Now William is ready to fight to take back what had been stolen from him six years before.
But he never imagined what that fight might cost him.
A.L. Jackson gives you an intimate look into the lives of a family bound by an unseen connection in this new contemporary romance.
If you haven never read a book written by A.L. Jackson, I would highly recommend that you do. She is one of my “go to” authors. I have yet to read anything she has written that wasn’t absolutely amazing. She writes real characters with real problems. Their lives aren’t neat and pretty, they make horrible mistakes and they learn to live with it. This book is no exception.
Maggie is a young woman who has endured her entire life. She endured her father, she endured her mother, she endured school and now she is enduring her abusive boyfriend. One night at a bonfire party when her boyfriend shows his true colors, an unlikely hero steps up to defend her.
William is living a life that he never wanted. The one true love of his life got away. He is living with a cold and heartless woman and working at a job that he hates. He has become a man that he no longer recognizes. So when his brother calls him up and asks him to come home, he has no reason to stay. He only hopes that he won’t run into “her”. Because he is not sure that he could survive it. (My heart was breaking for him!)
Years ago, William learned about Maggie. She confided in him. She told him about the hell she was living in.
Even though Will tried to hep Maggie see that she deserved so much more, she had been living with the abuse and torment for so long that it was all she knew.
Will found himself falling for this fragile and broken young woman.
Ultimately, she knew that they could never be. She knew that she should never hope for anything more. She watched Will walk away knowing in her heart that it was for the best.
Maggie chooses to stay with her abusive boyfriend. She remained silent all of these years about why she has stayed in this nightmare of a relationship.
Maggie now struggles with her decision and fears that history is destined to repeat itself.
Will lives out his greatest hope and fear, seeing Maggie again. He has to know why she made the choices she made all of those years ago.
Together, they could be so much more. But can all of the years of hurt and misery be erased?
This book is hard to review without giving too much away. I will tell you that there are some unexpected twists and turns that will leave your heart breaking. I absolutely adored all of the characters. The development was amazing. The story was real and pulled me in right from the beginning.
**The only thing keeping this from being a five-star review is that jumping back and forth from the past to the present. This book was told from both Will and Maggie’s point of view and the back and forth on top of that got to be a bit much. There were a few times it became very distracting for me. This book has VERY high ratings so obviously it was not an issue for everyone. **
Aside from that one issue, and again, it may only be an issue for me, this book was amazing. I read this one in one sitting and I felt so many emotions. A. L. Jackson has a gift for making the reader feel what her characters are going through. So if you are looking for an angst-filled love story with lots of drama, look no further. Four stars for me.
