In this competitive world, the requirement of a feature rich and smoothly developed website cannot be ignored. An efficient website brings lots of benefits, including number of visitors, number of opportunities and that leads to growth. So what’s the solution for an efficient website? PSD to WordPress is the ideal way to have functional and visually best looking website. WordPress is the ultimate solution for easy functional website.
So, now the question arises – Why hire a WordPress conversion specialist?
If you select to convert Photoshop into WordPress theme, excellent coding is quite important. A company should hire a PSD to WordPress conversion specialist as –
Wondering how to start with the difficult part? Well the initial step of this conversion is ‘cutting down the PSD files’. Slicing actually refers to the procedure of slicing a single PSD file into various layers so that coding can be done with ease. For this purpose you can utilize Adobe Photoshop. If you are looking to cut your images that are pixel-perfect, Microsoft paint is the best preferred option. The files should be cut perfectly to ensure flawless web design.
Now what? The further step is code the cut PSD files into HTML format and style it with the help of CSS. Such process needs good knowledge of CSS and HTML.
The fundamental objective is to code the layered images into HTML and CSS format, with whole rollover effects and pixel perfect placement. Here you can judge whether the site will be responsive or not by changing the CSS according to your need. For ease you can name your files as – CSS file known as Style.css and HTML file known as index.html.
Wow! You are done with the coding. So now what’s the next step? Well, now in third step of PSD to WordPress theme conversion is to divide the HTML files according to WordPress theme file structure. The architecture of WordPress theme includes various files such as 404.php, Header.php, single.php, Footer.php, Index.php, search.php, comments.php, page.php, category.php, comments-popup.php and Sidebar.php. Among these files, style.css and Index.php are quite important. Hence, divide the index.html into these given files.
Yahoo! We are about to complete. Once we are done with dividing files into WordPress file structure, the further step would be to add WordPress tags. WordPress contains many inbuilt functionalities in WordPress theme. There’s no requirement to write that boring codes, all you need to do is add tags and avail feature-rich website with desired functionalities.
Remember this – to avoid confusion, create a folder with similar name that you use for your theme and later put it into /wp-content/themes folder. Every new created file is placed in this newly created folder, as you would need them at the time of WordPress installation. So, now you have your custom theme and all you need to do is turn on using WordPress dashboard.
Uff..Finally, the custom theme is ready. In case, if you require to add functionality to your WordPress website either want to change the existing one, then you can install or configure a plugin with the help of WordPress dashboard. Just install the plugin, instead of writing the whole code. Only follow the embedding process to include advanced functionality in your website.

Technology is “making fools” of high court judgements in relation to injunctions, according to former editor of the Sun Kelvin Mackenzie.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4 Today on Saturday, reflecting on Andrew Marr’s revelation last week that he had taken out a super-injunction to protect his family’s privacy, Mackenzie said there should not be any such protections afforded.
I am in favour of free speech. We get ourselves in a shocking situation now where there’s a sort of two-track society. There’s those of us who know what the allegations are and all the names of all the famous people, which are basically media folk, and there are the rest of the public who are denied of knowing.
He added that the “explosion” of the online world means allegations are instead just being published on sites based outside the US.
Allegedly intelligent high court judges … have absolutely no common sense on this issue or an understanding of how technology is making fools of their judgements.
Also speaking on the show was Desmond Browne QC, a member of the special committee set up by Lord Neuberger to examine the use of media injunctions by the courts.
I think there’s a substantial difference between someone who knows the name being able to go on Wikipedia, seeing that there has been a redaction and making a conclusion as a result, and something being plastered all over the front page of the Sun or the Daily Mail and I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect the courts to simply give up in the face of something that may be accessible on the web.
On Sunday the Observer published a debate between Max Mosley, the former chief of Formula One who previously won damages of £60,000 from the News of the World for breach of privacy, and John Kampfner, chief executive of Index on Censorship, on the very issue of super-injunctions. Finally there is a sequel to the already popular online slots Troll Hunter. The new ufaso slotebi has a very similar look, a great chance of winning up to 5,000 times the stake and lots of action thanks to ingenious features.
Mosley is currently trying to get the UK law changed in favour of “prior notification” before a newspaper publishes allegations about an individual. Speaking in the debate Kampfner claimed that if Mosley’s law succeeds “it will set back the cause of free speech by decades”.

On June 23rd 2018, I stayed the night in a little town called Stryn. There, they were celebrating the Summer Solstice by building a giant fire for their gods, (pictured below).
The next day I visited beautiful lake up a nearby canyon called Lovatnet Lake, (pictured below). Note how green the water is. Lovatnet lake is green because it contains clay particles and rock dust, carved out by glaciers and swept along by rivers. The glaciers are continuously crushing up rocks and stones. When the glacial water reaches the lakes and fjords, it looks green, especially when the sun shines.
That next day, I continued south to visit the Briksdalsbreen portion of the Jostedalsbreen.
Jostedalsbreen, (pictured above), is the largest glacier on the European mainland. The main glacier rests on a mountain plateau west of the Jostedalen valley, hence the name. The glacier ice covers a total area of about 500 km2, while the national park is more than 1300 km2. Jostedalsbreen is a temperate glacier such that it is at melting point throughout the year, from its surface to its base.
The glacier is not frozen to the bedrock but flows along the slopes and through the valleys like a river, albeit at very low speed from 1 cm/day up to 100 cm/day (3 feet per day). Flow is highest at surface and middle causing the ice to crack and break up. Chunks of ice regularly falls from the edge or front of the glacier, a process known as ice calving.
Briksdalsbreen, (pictured above), is a glacier arm of Jostedalsbreen, and is set in Briksdal Valley, at the end of Oldedalen Valley, in Stryn in Sogn og Fjordane County. This famous glacier arm lies in beautiful surroundings between high peaks and roaring waterfalls, dropping 1200 meters into the narrow Briksdal valley below. It is a spectacular sight.
As mentioned above, I visited the Norsk Bremuseum in Fjaerland. There they had a great museum about glaciers and Climate change. Images below show panels about the correlation of “Climate Change Temperatures” (blue) and “CO2 Quantities” (red), in the atmosphere, (proxy taken from glacier cores).
An additional glacier arm that I visited that day was the Boyabreen, (pictured below).
The meltwater from this giant glacier partly drains into Fjaerlandsfjord, a tributary of Sognefjord, (pictured below).

Wright: Ten pathways to healthy summertime eating
The Fitness Trail
There are so many enticing foods to access during the summer months! Some we need to enjoy in moderation and others may be thoroughly enjoyed in larger quantities. While the same rule applies year round in terms of portion and quality control, during the summertime there are many foods available that are generally not available in many regions of the country the rest of the year. So, it is time to take advantage of the availability of these foods and keep the good fuel in the tank for all of your outdoor pursuits.
This week, check out these ten pathways to creating healthy summertime eating, combine that with consistently performed exercise programs and you may have the healthiest summer of your life! As always, prior to beginning any new eating regimen or exercise program, please consult your physician.
Pathway #1: Think fresh! Attend farmer’s markets and focus upon the freshly harvested and picked fruits and vegetables. These foods are chock full of nutrients, both macronutrients and micronutrients which may be eaten raw in many cases, or prepared simply over the grill for a delicious healthy summer side dish or main course.
Pathway #2: Your area may have access to prepared produce baskets that you may purchase weekly which the providers stock with fresh fruits and vegetables from the local farms. A great investment, usually an excellent quantity and variety of foods at an economic price point.
Pathway #3: While it is so wonderful outside, get outside and grill. It is worth the investment to purchase good quality grills and grilling tools if possible, including a meat/poultry thermometer to ensure food safety.
Pathway #4: Lightly marinate your meats, fish, poultry and pork and be a good chef by understanding how to safely and effectively cook the food on the grill.
Pathway #5: Try preparing veggies on the grill such as corn on the cob, summer squash, bell peppers and pair these on a skewer with your favorite fish or shell fish. Add a small serving of whole grain pasta or rice on the side and viola’, an amazing, fresh summertime meal.
Pathway #6: Even though this was mentioned in last week’s column, remember to stay well hydrated with cool, clean water.
Pathway #7: Create desserts for your picnics that include summer treats such as cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries/blue berries, honey dew, etc. A simple serving of berries and a light homemade whipped cream or ice cream is delicious.
Pathway #8: Prepare a fresh fruit or veggie protein shake after your outdoor activities and take whole fruits and veggies with you on your hikes that will keep safely.
Pathway #9 Don’t cook at all! Prepare a fresh, dark, green leafy salad with every imaginable vegetable, throw in a little bit of light feta cheese or your cheese of choice (a little bit means a small serving size), a simple. light dressing on the side and you have a great meal without the stove top, oven or grill!
Pathway #10 Prepare foods in advance when possible. So, if you are able to wash, chop and store veggies and fruits ahead of time, do it. This will not only save you time when you are ready to prepare the feast, it will encourage you to do so!

WALKING up 50 stairs a day slashes your risk of heart disease, a study shows.
Climbing more than five flights of stairs reduced the chances of the deadly condition by a fifth, US researchers found.
Dr Lu Qi, of Tulane University in New Orleans, said climbing stairs could prove a quick fix for people who do not get enough exercise.
He said: “Short bursts of high-intensity stair climbing are a time-efficient way to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and lipid profile.
“This is especially the case among those unable to achieve the current physical activity recommendations.
“These findings highlight the potential advantages of stair climbing as a primary preventive measure for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the general population.”

Around 7.6million Brits currently live with a heart or circulatory disease, according to the British Heart Foundation.
They cause a quarter of all deaths in the country, increasing the risks of heart attack and stroke.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is caused by the thickening or hardening of the arteries, usually because of a build up of plaque.
The NHS recommends Brits do some type of physical activity every day, with adults aiming to do strength training at least twice a week.

They should try and do two-and-a-half hours of moderate intensity activity — like brisk walking — a week, according to the guidelines.
Previous research shows walking 6,000 to 9,000 steps a day reduces the risk of heart disease by up to 50 per cent compared to walking just 2,000.
The latest study, published in Atherosclerosis, looked at how climbing stairs affects people’s chances of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Researchers looked at data from 450,000 Brits who were tracked for around 12-and-a-half years on average.
They were asked about how many stairs they climb daily and their risk based on genetic factors and family history were also calculated.
People who stopped climbing stairs every day saw their risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease increase by a third.
Dr Qi said: “This study provides novel evidence for the protective effects of stair climbing on the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
“This was particularly the case for individuals with multiple atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors.”

Unlike previously approved treatments for impotence, Viagra does not directly cause penis erection, but affects the response to sexual stimulation. The drug acts by enhancing the smooth muscle relaxation using nitric oxide, a chemical that is normally released in response to sexual stimulation. This smooth muscle relaxation allows increased blood flow into certain areas of the penis leading to an erection.
Viagra was evaluated in numerous randomized, placebo controlled trials involving more than 3000 men with varying degrees of impotence associated with diabetes, spinal cord injury, history of prostate surgery, and no identifiable organic cause of impotence. Patients also had a wide range of other concomitant illnesses including hypertension and coronary artery disease.
The drug's effectiveness was assessed primarily using a sexual function questionnaire. Patients were asked to report at the beginning, and periodically throughout the studies, how often they were able to achieve an erection adequate for intercourse, and how often that erection was maintained after penetration. In addition, patients kept diaries of their sexual histories. In all trials, men on Viagra reported success more often than did men on placebo, and rates of success increased with dose. The findings were consistent in men representing a wide range of severity and etiology of their erectile dysfunction (impotence). Men with diabetes or radical prostate surgery had less improvement than did other groups.
Please understand that Viagra Professional is not a hormone or aphrodisiac - It's a medicine that treats a physical condition.
How much time does it take to work?
Take Viagra Professional about 15 minutes to 20 minutes before you plan to have sex. Viagra Professional can help you get an erection if you are sexually excited. After a man takes Viagra, he must be sexually stimulated for it to work. This can include kissing or touching. If you take Viagra Professional after a high-fat meal (such as fish & chips, cheeseburger or French fries), the medicine may take a little longer to start working.
Viagra Professional can help you get an erection when you are sexually excited. You will not get an erection just by taking the pill.
Viagra works by helping you get an erection in response to sexual stimulation. Once a man takes Viagra and has sex, his erection will go away after intercourse, just like it would normally. Viagra works in as quickly as 30 minutes and lasts for about 4 hours after that. Take your time and go at your own pace. In the rare event of an erection lasting more than 4 hours, see your doctor.
The Viagra Advantage
The bottom line is there are a lot of great reasons to choose Viagra (sildenafil citrate). That's why over 23 million men worldwide have turned to Viagra to treat ED. Learn why it might be right for you:
Better: For most men it may take 30 mins for VIAGRA to work.
Better: for men with ED
Dr. Sardar Ali Khan, MD, Professor of Urology Stony Brook School of Medicine:
I'm always happy to tell my patients that Viagra has been proven to have an excellent safety record and be highly effective. In fact, it has been tested in more than 130 completed and ongoing studies. These include over 13,000 men! And 23 million men have been prescribed Viagra. No other ED treatment can say that. Viagra is also the only oral medicine for ED and has been on the market for more than 5 years. Studies have shown that Viagra works for men of all ages and for men with ED that ranged from mild to severe.Viagra is well tolerated with a low incidence of side effects. And side effects do not increase or get worse over time. Viagra continues to work well after several years of use. It has not been shown to increase heart attacks or other health problems. When you choose Viagra you're choosing a product that has improved sex lives of about 16 million men with ED worldwide.And when you take Viagra, you can feel good knowing that it comes with the confidence and proven safety record of 5 years on the market.
Dr. John Mulhall, Director of Sexual Medicine Programs in the Department in Urology at NY Presbyterian Hospital:
For most men taking Viagra it starts working in 30 minutes. And Viagra`s effect lasts for 4 hours giving you a plenty of time to be spontaneous with your partner. When you take Viagra you can be confident it will work for you. In studies Viagra worked for 4 out of 5 men and it worked for most men regardless of how old they were or what caused ED. Viagra has also been shown to work well for men with ED and with a wide range of health problems - including high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. It also treats ED for men who take medicines for high blood pressure and depression. Viagra has worked for about 16 million men with ED worldwide.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – They are not trained properly, sometimes they are not even paid.
Many teens are taken advantage of at work as several look for jobs this summer.
Adrienne Montani is with the First Call BC Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition and says hundreds of kids end up working under dangerous and unfair conditions in BC every year.
“The message to parents is to do your best, but they should really be pressuring the next provincial government to make it their responsibility,” she says.
A common theme is an employer asking a worker to come try out a shift, they are then not paid for their time or training.
The new report: ‘Child Labour is No Accident‘ also details that the only requirement for children under the age of 15 to work, is to have one written permission letter from a parent and she says that needs to change.
The report also detailed that half of the teens dealt with cuts, burns, falls and other workplace injuries. “It is hard, but stand up for yourself! It’s not easy for kids, they are afraid of losing their jobs.”
Sixty per cent of young people in this study started work at the age 14 or under.

Burger King pulled the ad with no explanation at first. Then they said it was pulled due to a “music-licensing issue.” Now Mary is saying the ad was pulled because the spot wasn’t complete.
In a statement obtained by Advertising Age, Blige says, “I agreed to be a part of a fun and creative campaign that was supposed to feature a dream sequence. Unfortunately, that’s not what was happening in that clip, so I understand my fans being upset by what they saw. But, if you’re a Mary fan, you have to know I would never allow an unfinished spot like the one you saw to go out.”
Burger King is singing the same tune now explaining that they are in the “process of re-editing the spot” to include the dream sequence. *side-eye*
It will be interesting to see how they spin the new commercial…

Social engineering expertise
The survey also found that social engineering is being used in highly targeted attacks on key business players to masquerade as higher ups. Most often, the end result is money being transferred to fraudulent bank accounts.
That may sound unbelievable. Who would send money to a stranger? But the hacker doesn't look like a stranger. One kind of scam, which Epstein calls "low level sophistication," will involve 10-15 emails between the potential victim and the attacker.
"It's not an attacker opening with 'hey this is your CEO please transfer money.' They opened with a 'John this is Sally. I had some questions about a recent invoice,' and then John responded to 'Sally' and then some other things, and in the course of conversation it got down to a transfer situation."
A more sophisticated version of this kind of attack is that John would receive an attachment based email, and the attachment would modify John's email settings so that the next time John gets a message from CEO Sally, it wouldn't go back to Sally but to the attacker who would then forward it to Sally.
"At some point, the attacker would then insert into one of the CEO's emails an extra paragraph or two," he says. "These are not blunt, easily detectable things. These are emails that are written in the native language adopting the tone of the executive's email addresses that appear to be exactly the same, modifying very slight or using hidden settings that you don't see."
It's a higher tech version of an old scam, Epstein adds. "2014 was the year of figuring out how to bypass the alarm system and sneak in," he says. "2015 was the year of showing up with a package under your front arm and knocking on the front door."
Your information is out there
Social engineering is what is making these kinds of scams possible and, says Hamman, not surprising given how much of our information there is to engineer. "So much of our personal identifying information is out there," he says. And he's not just talking that to what you post on twitter. In the last three years, he's been alerted that he's been a victim of a data breach four times.
"My information – who knows where it is and if my information ends up in the wrong hands, they know my birthday, social security number, may or may not know my credit card numbers," he says. When someone is targeted by a criminal who knows this information, the target is more likely to think that the person is who they say they are. "These are sophisticated attacks that people are falling for because the attacker has done their homework," he says.

Sadly, the stunning Kia ProCeed shooting brake won't be arriving in America.
Kia has expanded the new Ceed range in Europe with the unveil of the 2019 Ceed GT hatchback and 2019 ProCeed Shooting Brake. Slated to go on sale in Europe in Q1 2019, the Kia Ceed GT is powered by a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine that produces 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, but Kia hasn't revealed any performance details.
Power is sent though a six-speed manual gearbox or an optional seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which is being offered for the first time. The Ceed GT may be underpowered compared to some of its rivals like the Ford Focus ST, Honda Civic Type R, and Volkswagen Golf GTI, but it should be considerably more affordable.
"The all-new Ceed GT occupies a unique position in the mid-size family car segment and doesn't simply chase the highest top speed or fastest straight-line acceleration. It offers greater agility and grip on winding roads, maximum confidence and comfort at a cruise, and fast-revving turbocharged power perfectly matched to European tastes," said Kia Motors Europe executive, Emilio Herrera.
Visual elements also distinguish the sportier GT model from the rest of the Ceed range, including a new front bumper design incorporating larger air intakes and gloss black trim along the base, as well as dual exhaust tips. At the side, the Ceed GT features a glossy chrome window surround and more substantial side sills finished in gloss black and red.
To provide more stopping power, engineers have replaced the standard 288-mm front brake discs with a larger 320-mm set housed in 18-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225/40 R18 tires. The 2019 Kia Ceed GT will make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show next month before entering production next year. While it won't be going on sale in America, it could preview the new turbocharged Forte5 hot hatch Kia has hinted about.
This wasn't the only new member of the Ceed family Kia has introduced, as the Korean automaker also lifted the wraps off the new ProCeed shooting brake. Previewed by the stunning concept last year, the ProCeed serves as the new flagship of the Ceed range and will be available in Europe as either a GT-Line or a range-topping GT model.
Three engines will be available for the GT-Line model, including the 1.0-liter T-GDI with 118 hp, a 1.4-liter T-GDI with 138 hp and a new 1.6-liter CRDi Smartstream diesel with 134 hp. All three engines can be paired to a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The range-topping ProCeed GT uses the same 1.6-liter T-GDI unit as the new Ceed GT producing 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque paired to a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Production will start in November, but Kia has already ruled out the possibility of the ProCeed shooting brake being sold in America much to our dismay.

We’re proud as punch to announce that MOJO products have won four medals in the prestigious Sydney Royal Fine Food Awards in the inaugural kombucha category!
MOJO won two silver (for its MOJO Classic – Perfect Passionfruit, and MOJO Classic – Ginger Tonic) and two bronze medals (for MOJO Classic – Raspberry Passion, and MOJO Crafted – Strawberry Hibiscus) in the Herbal Tea & Infusions category.
“This is the first time a kombucha maker has been recognised in the Sydney Royal Fine Food Awards and we couldn’t be more excited,” MOJO CEO Anthony Crabb said.
“We dominated the kombucha category which is fantastic recognition of the work we pour into ensuring our kombucha is fermented according to traditional processes, at the highest quality standards.
“We already knew kombucha was growing in popularity in Australia but the addition of a kombucha class to these awards is yet another sign that Australia is embracing our products.”
MOJO pioneered the Kombucha category in Australia. Founder Anthony Crabb began handcrafting home batches in 2009. After perfecting his brew, Anthony, with the help of wife Sarah, embarked on a mission to take kombucha to the people, beginning with an esky at the local farmers market.
Today, the small MOJO team continues to handcraft kombucha using the same SCOBY which MOJO started with, and MOJO is sold throughout 4000 outlets Australia wide.
MOJO is the only kombucha on the Australian market to have quantifying proven probiotics on pack, with an exclusive probiotic strain that survives the journey from mouth to stomach to optimise the drink’s gut-health benefits.
Hosted by the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW, the Sydney Royal Fine Food Awards aims to promote Excellence in Agriculture amongst all industry stakeholders. Winners are selected by a judging panel of industry specialists.


Three police personnel were shot dead by blackbuck poachers in a forest in the Guna district of Madhya Pradesh on the morning of Saturday, 14 May.
The incident happened at around 2:45 am, when seven armed poachers on motorbikes were trying to flee with poached Blackbucks and peacocks in the Aron area of the Gwalior-Chambal region's district bordering Rajasthan.
Sub-Inspector Rajkumar Jataw, head constable Sant Kumar Mina, constable Neeraj Bhargav, and three other officers confronted the poachers who then opened fire at the police team, killing three officers and injuring the driver. The police reportedly retaliated, but the poachers managed to escape, taking advantage of the dense foliage.
The officials had received a tipoff that poachers were hunting blackbucks in the forest within the Aron police station jurisdiction in Guna district.
Carcasses of several blackbucks were recovered from the forest area.
Inspector general of Gwalior Anil Sharma has been removed from the post in light of the incident.
Rs 1 Crore Ex Gratia to Families of the Martyrs
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan called a high-level meeting at his residence on Saturday with Home Minister Narottam Mishra, Chief Secretary, Director General of Police Sudhir Saxena, the ADG, and other senior officials to discuss the incident.
"Our policemen lost their lives in the line of duty. I honour their bravery. There will be strict action taken against the culprits and that will teach a lesson for anyone who dares to do this. We have identified the poachers," said CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan. He also announced that one of the family members will be given a government job.
The body of one of the poachers has been recovered from Bidoria village, Raghogarh in Guna district. He was shot by the police personnel during the crossfire. Some suspected poachers have been detained and weapons have been reportedly confiscated from the hideouts of the accused.
The state announced an ex gratia of Rs 1 crore each to the families of the three police personnel.
Narottam Mishra condoled the death of the three police personnel and said, "The incident is unfortunate. Police received the information about some criminals and they surrounded them. Upon finding themselves surrounded, criminals started firing. Five heads and two carcasses of the blackbucks along with the carcass of a peacock were recovered."

|Abstract:||Nature-based solutions (NBS) are usually defined as complementary or alternative solutions to “grey infrastructures” (traditionally made with cement) aimed at conserving and regenerating the functionality of natural and semi-natural ecosystems. The research to date shows a considerable potential of NBS to address the current challenges related to climate change and geo-hydrological risks. Despite significant interest in NBS by researchers and practitioners, knowledge concerning their practical implementation, monitoring, and evaluation is still lacking. This is particularly true for large-scale NBS. The present paper discusses how such solutions can be implemented in the context of hydro-meteorological risk reduction in small Mediterranean catchments with a strong tourist vocation. The work presented here is situated within the RECONECT Project (Regenerating ECOsystems with Nature-based solutions for hydro-meteorological risk rEduCTion), which aims to contribute to a European reference framework on NBS by demonstrating, upscaling, and replicating large-scale NBS in rural and natural areas. The Italian case study of RECONECT is the Portofino Natural Regional Park, which represents a unique natural landscape element with high ecologic, social, and economic (touristic) value, which is threatened by a range of geo-hydrological hazards, such as flash floods, hyper-concentrated floods, shallow landslides, rockfalls, and storm surges. This paper also presents details of NBS interventions in two pilot catchments (San Fruttuoso and Paraggi) visited by thousands of tourists throughout the year. It addresses some of the key aspects related to monitoring meteorological and hydrological processes, as well as remote sensing activities (i.e., LiDAR surveys), which are necessary for the identification of critical-instability areas along waterways and the reconstruction of dry stone walls. Lastly, a discussion of relevant mitigation and adaptation strategies that are potentially replicable at national and international levels is also provided.|

The U.S. government wants to add Wells Fargo (WFC) Vice President Kurt Lofrano personally to its lawsuit involving claims that the bank defrauded the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development — saying the executive played a "critical role" in Wells Fargo's decision to hide fraudulent loans from the government agency.
Lofrano, who was in charge of self-reporting for Wells Fargo, “played a critical role in the bank’s decision not to report to HUD, as required, more than six thousand materially defective loans that Wells Fargo had falsely certified to HUD for FHA insurance,” the government said in the filing.
The U.S. sued Wells Fargo last year under the Federal False Claims Act and the Financial Institutions Reform, Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 1989. The government said it notified Wells Fargo Nov. 1 that it planned to add Lofrano to the case.
The government has been going after individual executives with more regularity in recent months, most recently securing a guilty verdict in a civil fraud case that had named former Countrywide executive Rebecca Mairone as an individual defendent, along with the bank itself.

Procession of the Dead - DB Shan (Preview)
Preview by Jack Foley
The first volume is a noirish, gritty urban fantasy for adults from the bestselling author otherwise known as Darren Shan. Quick-witted and cocksure, young upstart Capac Raimi arrives in the City determined to make his mark. As he learns the tricks of his new trade from his Uncle Theo – extortion, racketeering, threatening behaviour – he’s soon well on his way to becoming a promising new gangster.
Then he crosses paths with The Cardinal, and his life changes forever. The Cardinal is the City and the City is The Cardinal. They are joined at the soul. Nothing moves on the streets, or below them, without the Cardinal’s knowledge. His rule is absolute. As Capac begins to discover more about the extent of the Cardinal’s influence on his own life he is faced with hard choices. And as his ambition soars ever higher he will learn all there is to know about loss, and the true cost of ultimate power!
A dark fantasy novel about a young man who wants to become a powerful gangster, it’s very different in style and tone to my children’s books, but is written in the same straightforward, pacy style.
My D B Shan books are written with an adult audience in mind, so I’d say they were for 15 or 16 year olds upwards. But that should be taken as a rough guide rather than an official certificate. If you’re a parent with a 10 or 12 or 14 year old, and you’re wondering if Procession of the Dead is appropriate, you’ll need to judge the child in question rather than the novel.
The book isn’t much more violent than my Darren Shan novels, but it features bad language, some mild sex scenes, and a moral ambiguity which younger readers might find troubling — the divisions between good and evil are explored, rather than laid out in stone, and some of the things that the main character does will make readers wince, and perhaps confuse younger readers who are less worldly. If your child or teenager is comfortable reading Stephen King, they’ll be fine with this.

Officers found the women after being called to the apartment complex when neighbors reported gunfire, Houston police said. Residents said they could hear the shots from the first floor.
Investigators believe some kind of disturbance may have led to the shooting that involved an ex-boyfriend of one of the victims.
Police said they are searching for a white man, 20 to 30-years-old who is approximately 6-feet tall. He was last seen driving a black BMW sedan with New Jersey license plates YJT-75Y.

JOSH FREESE is renowned as a studio musician of the first order having recorded and/or toured with the likes of everyone from A PERFECT CIRCLE, STING, NINE INCH NAILS, PARAMORE, THE REPLACEMENTS, WEEZER and GUNS N ROSES to BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE. and that credits list literally goes on. and on. but id argue that primarily he is known as the longstanding drummer of both the LOS ANGELES PUNK ROCK band THE VANDALS and the legendary NEW WAVE band DEVO.
less known or celebrated are his solo records and the one-off songs hes done over the past few years. they are often very brief, super catchy and hilarious. they are also normally off-the-cuff affairs with an almost FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE-esque POWER POP sense of melodicism and pop construction that seem designed to primarily embarrass his friends or make an ass of himself.
FREESE is an uber-talented musician that is literally capable of anything. i just love the fact that when he chooses to write and release his own material that it literally has nothing to do with his day job in tone or demeanor. definitely an artist worth checking out.

The film Blade Runner 2049 may not have played the Toronto International Film Festival as many expected, but it didn’t need the showcase of TIFF to show off. It’s a gorgeous film, and the credit must go to Roger Deakins as a cinematographer, as the images jump off into our subconscious (seriously, how does this man not have an Academy Award?!). Denis Villeneuve surrounds Deakins’ lush camerawork with some serious craftspeople, such as Joe Walker’s editorial work, Vancouver’s Dennis Gassner [Production Designer], Alessandra Querzola making her first turn as Set Decorator, Canadian Renée April [Costume Designer], six (!) Art Directors, and a whole host of Hungarians, (the film was shot in Budapest), along with an incredible group of collaborators.
The defining leitmotif of Blade Runner 2049 is that of light and coolness, and Blade Runner 2049 delivers perhaps the best experience as a film from this past year (perhaps neck and neck with another WB film, Dunkirk). Look, the screenplay was a little unfocused, Jared Leto seems miscast as Niander Wallace, Harrison Ford takes way too long to arrive as Rick Deckard, the ending seems to be unlike where it seems to be heading, and there are some rough patches, but it holds its own for two and a half hours, and only a few studio movies can say the very same. We have already singled out Ana De Armas for her brilliant turn as Joi (the hologram that wishes she was more), but we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention David Dastmalchian, Wood Harris, Robin Wright, Dave Bautista, Sylvia Hoeks, Hiam Abbass, Barkhad Abdi, Mackenzie Davis as Mariette and Krista Kosonen as Doxie #2, (she is the one who insults Reliant K as a “fucking Blade Runner” and in Finnish!). It’s a small but incredibly talented and diverse supporting player group, propping up Gosling’s K, (Gosling looks the part of android). Villeneuve is a capable lensman, (though some are partial to Jean-Marc Vallee), and his English films from Sicario to Arrival to Enemy and Prisoners all suggest a different vision, but he is capable at least to get films like these made.
Blade Runner 2049 is a massive undertaking and, for the most part, it succeeds in being a jaw-dropping vision and worthy continuation of Blade Runner. It gets us thinking about the nature of consciousness and being human, but more than this, it looks like a movie that cannot help but implant itself into our consciousness.
Tons, from “Familiarize Yourself with the World of Blade Runner” to “Your Entry into the Visionary Spectacle” but the best special features are the inclusion of the three prologues, “2022: Black Out (Anime)”, “2036: Nexus Dawn” and “2048: Nowhere to Run”. These prologues, overseen by Villeneuve, fill in the gaps of the years in between. They’re available on YouTube, but so much better in this package.
Overall Brief Take
It’s a masterpiece of film in a giant atmosphere, so watch the film in the comfort of your home in a big way.

June 19, 2021| Press Releases|
We have seen the remarks of the Indian MEA’s spokesperson regarding International Court of Justice (Review and Re-consideration) Bill passed by the National Assembly of Pakistan.
Pakistan abides by all its international obligations, and this applies to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) judgment in the case of Indian spy Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav.
It is regrettable that the Government of India has chosen to misrepresent the ICJ judgment which clearly states in Paragraph 147 that, “Pakistan is under an obligation to provide, by means of its own choosing, effective review and reconsideration of the conviction and sentence of Mr. Jadhav…”
In line with paragraph 146 of the ICJ judgment, Pakistan chose to provide Commander Jadhav the right of review and reconsideration by superior courts of Pakistan through the International Court of Justice (Review and Re-consideration) Ordinance, 2020. Pakistan’s commitment to uphold the ICJ judgment was again reflected by the passage of ICJ (Review and Reconsideration) Bill for Review from the National Assembly of Pakistan.
The Judgement of the ICJ (Para 118) also requires India to act in good faith, and arrange legal representation for Commander Jadhav. Regrettably, India has been engaging in a deliberate campaign to obfuscate the issue of appointment of a lawyer. As a result, the government of Pakistan had to initiate proceedings before the Islamabad High Court to request the Court to appoint a lawyer for Commander Jadhav. The Honourable Court has repeatedly invited India to clarify its position in this regard but India continues to deliberately politicise the issue.
The Government of India’s refusal to avail itself of the legal remedies provided by Pakistan and such statements reveal their nefarious designs to undermine Pakistan’s efforts and discredit the ICJ judgment regarding Commander Jadhav.

The UK’s largest single climate funding commitment boosts GCF’s second replenishment and global climate action
Press release – 11 Sep 2023
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) welcomes the UK government’s announcement of a USD 2 billion (£1.62 billion) pledge for its second replenishment (GCF-2). The announcement was made by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the G20 Leaders’ Summit in New Delhi on 9 September 2023.
The UK has been a long-term, committed supporter of GCF, contributing to the Fund since its initial resource mobilisation period. The UK contributed £1.44bn to the GCF’s first replenishment for the period 2020-23. Today’s announcement represents a significant 12.7% increase from its commitment for GCF’s first replenishment (GCF-1).
GCF warmly welcomes the UK’s generous contribution and consistent support, which is a mark of the country’s commitment to global climate action. The UK is the 8th contributor to announce an early pledge for GCF-2, following Czechia, Austria, Germany, Monaco, Canada, Denmark and South Korea. The country’s pledge is an added boost for the growing momentum surrounding GCF’s second replenishment and in the lead up to the Fund’s High-Level Pledging Conference in Bonn, Germany on 5 October 2023.
Post the G20 Summit, Andrew Mitchell, Minister for Development said, “The Green Climate Fund plays a critical role in global efforts to limit climate change and address its impacts. Our increased pledge of US$2billion to the GCF underlines our sustained commitment to tackling climate change.
“The scale of challenge we face demands yet more urgent action and that is why the UK will work closely with the GCF to accelerate the Fund’s delivery of improved access and greater impact, especially for those countries most vulnerable to climate change.
Mafalda Duarte, GCF Executive Director said, “With its record pledge to GCF’s replenishment, the United Kingdom is putting its political and financial backing behind bold climate action where it is needed most. The UK has a storied track record as a leader in international climate finance and as a champion of the most vulnerable. I look forward to working closely with the UK to enhance GCF’s business model so that it can deliver on its full potential and meet the expectations of developing countries.”
GCF is the world’s largest climate fund – currently a USD 12.8 billion fund, with USD 48.3 billion total of approved projects, supporting developing nations to meet their targets to reduce carbon emissions, develop cleaner energy sources and adjust to a warming world.

MetroLink Light Rail is MetroWaste
A version of this commentary appeared in the St. Louis Business Journal.
Between 2014 and 2019, ridership on St. Louis Metro buses and light-rail trains dropped by nearly 25 percent. Thanks to the pandemic, ridership in recent months has only been half what it was in 2019, and thanks to increased numbers of people working at home it may not ever return to 2019 levels.
This suggests that St. Louis doesn’t need to spend hundreds of millions—or billions—of dollars building new light-rail lines. Yet that is exactly what St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones wants to do, not because St. Louis needs it, but because federal funding might become available for it. That federal funding would depend on local matching funds, meaning St. Louis taxpayers would have to pay higher taxes for train rides few of them will take.
St. Louis’s light-rail record is unimpressive. In 2001, Metro opened the 17-mile MetroLink College extension, doubling the total number of miles in the system. Metro carried fewer bus and light-rail riders the year after opening this line than it had carried the year before. The same thing happened when it opened the 3.5-mile Shiloh-Scott extension in 2003. The 8-mile Shrewsbury-Lansdowne MetroLink extension gained some new riders, but all of those riders were lost after the 2008 financial crisis, and most never came back.
Overall, light rail has failed to boost the region’s transit ridership. In 1993, before the region’s first light-rail line opened, buses carried 40.3 million riders. Since then, Metro has spent around $2.5 billion building 45 miles of light-rail lines. In 2019, buses and light rail together carried 36.1 million riders, 11 percent fewer than before light rail.
Part of the problem is that light rail is functionally obsolete: just about anything light rail can do, buses can do better for far less money. Counting capital costs, Metro spent $12.80 per light-rail rider but only $8.30 per bus rider in 2019.
The current proposal to expand MetroLink with a new north–south corridor line through downtown fails on two key fronts. First, while transit advocates say spending more money on transit helps low-income people, the fact is that most low-income people do not take transit to work. Census Bureau survey data show that only 4.4 percent of St. Louis–area workers who earned less than $25,000 a year took transit to work in 2019. Meanwhile, the sales taxes used to support Metro buses and light rail are highly regressive, meaning the 95.6 percent of low-income people who aren’t dependent on transit are disproportionately paying taxes to support rides they aren’t taking.
Second, cities that have successful rail transit have a high concentration of jobs in a central business district, and St. Louis is not one of those cities. The percentage of regional jobs in downtown St. Louis has been declining for years. It is currently down to about 60,000 employees downtown, very few of whom take light rail to work. Expanding MetroLink on the proposed north–south route will be a very expensive attempt to take people who don’t use light rail for work to jobs in an area where they don’t work.
The places in downtown St. Louis that benefit from MetroLink (the stadiums, convention center, etc.) already have it. The money Metro wisely spent adding and improving stations at Cortex and Barnes Hospital cost a fraction of the amount of a new line and served an area where people of all incomes actually use MetroLink to go to work. (The Barnes/Central West End stop is the busiest stop in the system.)
Meanwhile, while we debate MetroLink’s further expansion, Metro’s bus system is “disintegrating,” says engineer Richard Bose at the pro-transit NextSTL website, because the agency can’t find enough drivers to keep it operating. Jones and other city and regional officials should devote their efforts toward helping Metro run the system it already has rather than trying to expand it. Federal and local funds spent on an effective bus system offer a better solution to address the needs of the people who live in North St. Louis County. Otherwise, people might get the idea that the real purpose of light-rail transit is not to move people, but to move dollars from taxpayers’ pockets into the hands of light-rail contractors.

Punk Veterans, Strike Anywhere, have announced their first new music since 2009 in addition to signing to Pure Noise Records. Giving us a glimpse of what to expect of Nightmares of the West, they’ve released the first two songs, ‘Dress The Wounds’ and ‘Imperium of Waste’ off the seven track EP that’ll be released 17 July 2020 and feature a cover of Blocko’s ‘Opener’.
“We wanted to write things that we felt really fresh about and that revealed something new,” explains vocalist Thomas Barnett. “It was almost like this refresh, this restart, where we found ways to write songs that not only moved us, but also reflected the times and our ages. But we definitely feel inspired, and this record is a platform for us to hopefully – in time – play shows, connect with community, and help keep those little fires lit in ourselves and in others through the music and those shared experiences. These songs are the conversations that we want to have and the feelings that we still really need to share.”

After using the camera for a couple of weeks, I ordered the M-22mm lens and the EOS lens adapter. I have a couple of older small kit lenses with longer zooms that work well on the M6. And I wanted the 22mm prime for night/low-light shots. The M lenses are so light and tiny they're super-easy to carry around. I'm leaving in a few weeks for Japan and Korea and I'm looking forward to putting this camera through its paces. Plus, it weighs only about one-fourth of my 7D with lens but is capable of similar high quality photographs.
This free video editor makes it a cinch to export your creations to YouTube, Facebook, Dropbox, Flickr, Google Drive and an assortment of mobile devices through a simple pull-down menu. You have to sign in to these services first. And while YouTube uploaded directly to my channel without incident, you may have to save your video to your hard drive with social media specs and then upload to the social network yourself.
Remember, if you are looking for a video editing software, this is not it. This is simple cut, drag, paste, add transitions kind of work. It will do great for a presentation or slideshows you would like to create, but it will not be the one you want to make an actual film or quality videos. If you like the user interface of it, try teaming it up with other video editors to give you a better chance at reaching your vision with your project! I have connected it with all of the Microsoft office programs, VSDC, Pinnacle Pro, and iMovie to create better looking projects with the same easy interface!
I've been a Canon fan since an old sd880 point and shoot. Moved up to a T2i and then T4i. Excellent cameras. I got caught up in the mirrorless craze and about a year ago, canon was behind the competition and i went with a Panasonic gx85. One positive for the gx85: amazing camera stabilization. However, the autofocus for video SUCKS. After a year, i started to notice that a lot, if not most, of the pictures i'd taken years ago, even with the t2i, looked better than the gx85 (i was using the pana 20mm lens). i decided to go back to canon, and even considered the 77d. As i'm reviewing pictures, i am beyond satisfied with the decision to go with the m6. The m6 with the em-f 22m lens is great. sure, i miss the in-body stabilization, and i wish it had 4k video. that's why i give this camera 4 stars (and the picture review takes a second too long). But for results, this camera produces extremely clear photos, and the autofocus in videos blows the panasonic away.
Although this software makes a decent job, it has its cons. For example, I don´t like that there aren´t any options to directly add text to a piece of video, and it´s even worse that you cannot export your own custom font styles into the software. It would be a great and awesome addition if there was on option inside Movie Maker that allowed users to drag and drop text, images and any other objects that made video creation and editing more sophisticated.
The swivel LCD is another great feature, although not new, my T3i had it, but still worth a mention. One difference, think starting with the T6i, is the LCD is now also a touchscreen. Although I turned mine off because I don't want to accidentally change anything since a lot of things can touch the screen, from my hands to my nose... I'd rather use the buttons which have a lot less chance of accidental activation. But I know everyone has been conditioned to love touchscreens, so it's there, hooray. :-)
VSDC Free Video Editor looks and feels just like a professional video editor. In fact, if feels almost identical to Final Cut Pro in a lot of ways. If you want to experience that style of in-depth video editing, this program is an epic way to do it for free. Be warned, though, that there's a steep learning curve unless you already have some experience.
Are you passionate about making videos and searching for a right option to create a few? In the following article, we will list some remarkable online video makers who will cater to all your needs. Be aware of the fact though that these video makers are online-based services and thus the available editing features can be quite limited. Readers who are seeking for full-featured video editors will need a PC program, check a short video to get an instant overview of what PC program is able to do:
It starts with its simplest feature: a storyboard mode that allows you to lay out your narrative on a simpler, at-a-glance screen. That way if you don’t want to drill down to the details, you don’t have to get bogged down with all kinds of extra proprietary controls. But if you do want to drill down to a more detailed approach, you can do so with its Details mode that allows you to mix in 200 multimedia tracks, giving you seemingly endless possibilities for your project.
There are like a million features in this phone, so I think I'm going to stop listing them one-by-one here and instead point out one more that I think can make the difference between for someone who is unsure of the camera. I think one major reason someone would be unsure enough to be reading this long review before buying this, is actually someone who is thinking about getting this as a first DSLR. Meaning you've either only used point-and-shoot cameras, or even worse, you've only used your cell phone... lol. :-P
We evaluated each program’s interface and workflow to see how intuitive they are. We tracked the number of clicks it takes to access and use common tools. If a tool is difficult to find, awkwardly implemented or counterintuitive, it can slow down your edits. We quickly discovered that the more accessible everything is, the better the editing experience will be. We gave each program an A to F grade based on this evaluation.
4) As some other reviewers have pointed out, the Dazzle chip is not a HD device. Even though Dazzle Video Creator Plus HD is it's name, it does not record HD video. This is because S-video and component (the two types of ports on the capture card) are not capable of recording in HD quality. What HD refers to is Pinnacle Studio's ability to edit and render HD video.
I love this camera. I recently got into film making and was looking for an entry level camera to start with, my choices were between the 80D, 77D and the T7i. Upon my research I realized that all have the same size image sensor at 24 MP and the same basic software except the 77D & T7i have the newer Digic 7 processor & 80D has the Digic 6, the 80D also has more features and is weather sealed. However, in terms of image quality on both video and photos the result is basically the same excellent!!!. The auto focus on this camera is amazing and really helps with filming at events. I think this camera is good value for your money if you are now starting out. My advice if you are looking to choose between the 3 cameras and you are new film making or photography buy this camera and invest your money in good lenses. I recently picked up the 50 mm 1.8 along with this purchase and the depth of field has taken my photos to a new level. Im pleased with this purchase.
However, simple editing can be done on the cheap if you’re willing to ditch powerful, high-end software such as Final Cut Pro, or Adobe Premiere, in favor of a more modest program. Let’s face it, you’re probably not going to be taking home the Palme d’Or with the film you cut on your laptop, but your home movies and YouTube uploads can take on a whole new shine with a few straightforward tools.
PowerDirector Ultra features CyberLink’s True Theater Color technology, which analyzes the color of your footage and enhances aspects like hue, saturation and brightness. It's a great way to get Hollywood-style color treatment on your video project. You get more than enough tools to create a video that looks like it could have been made in a movie studio. You may never edit a full-length feature film with this software, but you could.

The main problem we have in regards to training is knowledge transfer and simplifying training of processes when on-boarding new staff. We do have some videos created from other platforms but no way to share. As we are primarily a Windows shop, using Movie Maker allowed me to create training videos using Microsoft approved codecs and made it much easier to share videos with other team members. The main benefit of course is they can now get some training from the videos we've created and cost savings by not having them go to another facility or rely on other training tools.

The BJP would indulge in creating conflict between people of different faiths in the run-up to the Assam assembly elections in order capture power by hook or crook, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi said in a series of four different meetings he addressed on the first day of his two-day pre-election tour of Assam on Monday.
“The BJP does not have issues of development and peace in mind. Instead it is more interested in capturing power by even putting people of different faiths in conflict. They did the same in Bihar and instigated Hindus against Muslims. They thought they would win elections by doing so. They will try to do the same thing in Assam too,” Rahul Gandhi said.
“In Bihar the prime minister made many tall promises. They tried so many tricks. But when the results came they could not even understand how the BJP lost,” he said.
- Rahul Gandhi calls Grand alliance a sentiment of people, keeps mum when asked who will rule it
- Has the Opposition discovered the road map to defeat Narendra Modi in 2019?
- Even Rajiv Gandhi with his 415 seats couldn’t stand up to Opposition unity: Rahul Gandhi
- PM in 2019 if Congress wins majority? Yes, why not, says Rahul Gandhi; BJP makes fun
- Amit Shah on Rahul Gandhi meeting Lalu Yadav: Hypocrite, he once tore ordinance brought to save the RJD chief
- Rahul Gandhi can’t speak anywhere for 15 minutes without consulting a slip, says BJP
Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress leader also tried to draw the attention of women and the tea labourer voters of upper Assam. In Titabor – chief minister Tarun Gogoi’s constituency – he alleged that the BJP government at the Centre had stopped ration to the plantation labourers. In Bihpuria, he said it was only in Congress-ruled states that women were given top priority.
“The prime minister made so many tall promises in Assam during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Has he fulfilled any one of them? The answer is a big No. Instead, he has stopped supply of rations to the tea labourers. He has curtailed Assam’s Special Category State status. He also tried to stop MGNREGA and mid-day meal schemes. Prices of essential commodities have gone up manifold,” Rahul Gandhi said.
Asking people to vote for the Congress, Rahul Gandhi claimed that a pro-Congress wind had already started in Assam. “A Congress wind is blowing in Assam. The people have understood how hollow Modi’s promises were. They will now try to destroy peace and amity before the elections here. But they will meet the same fate as in Bihar,” he said.
The Congress vice-president, who arrived here on a two-day visit to upper Assam on Monday, attended three rallies – at Gohpur, Bihpuria and Titabor – on the first day. On Tuesday he is scheduled to take part in a padyatra in Sivasagar before addressing a party workers rally there. Titabor incidentally is the assembly constituency represented by chief minister Tarun Gogoi.
Ridiculing Prime Minister Modi for making promises that he had failed to keep, and said the prime minister was only astute in coining a new slogan every 10 days. “The prime minister coins one new slogan every 10 days. But there is nothing on the ground. Moreover, you don’t see him alongside the poor, the farmers, the labourers and the working class. Instead you see him beside rich people, beside Obama, beside industrialists,” he said.
Showering praise on Tarun Gogoi, the Congress vice-president said his government in Assam had done wonderful things that have changed lives of the poor, of women, of tea labourers and children. “Fifteen years ago, people were scared of coming out of their houses because of insurgency. Today there is peace all around. It is the Congress that put Assam back on the rails,” he said.
“The Congress government in Assam has so many schemes for women. Women in Assam get money right from their birth. A girl child gets a sum at birth, a bicycle in Class VIII and a laptop when she gets 50 per cent in Class X final. They also get money for marriage, and then there is a scheme for unmarried women and widows too,” he said at a women’s rally in Bihpuria.
Drawing attention of the youth, Gandhi recalled Prime Minister Modi’s 2014 election promise of bringing back black money from abroad and depositing Rs 15 lakh in every citizen’s bank account, and asked if anybody had received that amount. “Is there any person in Assam who got that Rs 15 lakh Modi had promised? Is there any youth in Assam who got a job as Modi had promised?” he asked.

Here are few more crochet projects I’ve done recently:
I bought the pattern for this at Etsy at this store. This pattern works up QUICK and is so CUTE!
I was always unsure about making amigurumi, but I feel like its something I could venture into… I made this little “Hello Kitty” type doll from this YouTube video…
Now I’ve never made a granny square before, so naturally when my Moms group from church decided to bless our friend (she had been going through some very difficult times) with an afghan from all of us, I wanted to make something SPECIAL!
My favorite Kaleidoscope Flower
Thanks to Yarn Crazy Crochet World for all four of theses great,
easy granny square patterns!
These are a few of my crochet projects from the past year or so…
I found this cute blanket on etsy, and knew it was the one I wanted to make for my sister’s baby shower gift….. Of course mine is nowhere near as good as the one the designer makes, but I think it came out pretty good!
This cute hat I made using a basic hat pattern, the kind where you do not join, but continue to work in rounds…. This is the flower tutorial from DzCrochetCreations that I used…
This cute “Hello Kitty” type hat was made for a little girls birthday, I don’t know which pattern/tutorial I got this from exactly, but there are a few options on YouTube if you would like to make one…
I made this “Minnie Mouse” looking hat for my niece using this detailed tutorial from cakesbysabrina, who is so awesome to share all of her tutorials….
This from here for my nephew….
I don’t know what this is called thing. I’m sorry, I don’t know what pattern I used for this, if I find it I’ll post it ASAP…
This was a request, and I actually got $$ for it, I think it looks pretty close to the original
I have a few more crocheted items, but I’ll save them for tomorrow… I hope you enjoy my crocheting, and I pray this post inspired you to do some of your own projects!
I am so excited about this website I found Repeatcrafterme. I happened to come across this website many times, but just recently I really started looking through ALL of her wonderful posts…. I absolutely LOVE her crochet projects, and I’ve actually done a few of them (pictures to follow soon). I really like her post from a few days ago about this crochet along. I’m hoping to be able to follow along with Repeatcrafterme and One Dog Woof,as I am nowhere near a seasoned crochet-er…. I think it will be fun to see how everyone’s projects turn out…. See you at the CAL!

Many of our contract models are designed to include basic sections such as terms and conditions of employment, staff responsibilities, compensation and benefits and contain an agreement that is not disclosed or is commonly known as NOAs. These common sections are the benefits to make your contract management process more efficient and efficient. The essence is that these PDF contract templates justify the function and duties of each party. And again, like a document signed by both parties, a contract is enforceable in court. However, in certain circumstances, certain commitments that are not considered contracts may be applied to a limited extent. If one party relied on the other party`s assurances/promises to its detriment, the court may apply a just doctrine of Promissory Estoppel to compensate the non-injurious party to compensate the party for the amount it received from the appropriate appeal of the party to the agreement. The agreement must not be prepared or approved by a lawyer. If that were the case, every time we bought something from a store, we would need a lawyer in tow. This PDF model of brand ambassador contains the fundamental and essential elements of a brand ambassador contract between the company and the brand ambassador.
This brand ambassador contract guarantees and guarantees the rights of the brand ambassador as well as the duration and duration of the agreement. Contracts can be (orally), written or a combination of the two. Certain types of contracts, such as contracts. B for the purchase or sale of real estate or financing agreements, must be concluded in writing. With respect to trade agreements, it is generally accepted that the parties intended to enter into a contract. First, there must be an agreement – an offer made by one party, and acceptance by one or more others. Use this free sales contract template to quickly generate individual pdf sales contracts! Download them with just one click, print them out or share them. If the contract does not comply with the legal requirements that are considered a valid contract, the law does not enforce the contractual agreement and the aggrieved party is not obliged to compensate the non-infringing party. In other words, the plaintiff (a non-dented party) in a contractual dispute suing the criminal party can only obtain reimbursement of the damages-expectations if he is able to prove that the alleged contract was in place and that it was a valid and enforceable contract. In this case, the expected damages are awarded, which attempt to make the non-injurious part a while attributing the amount that the party would have paid in the absence of a breach of contract, plus the reasonably foreseeable damages suffered by the offence. It should be noted, however, that there is no punitive damages for contractual remedies and that the non-injurious party should not receive more than the expectation (the monetary value of the mission if it had been completed in full).
In social situations, there is generally no intention that agreements become legally binding contracts (. B for example, friends who meet at a given time are not a valid contract). You can use this sample studio lease to collect the tenant`s name, rental date and tenant signature. Then just open jotForm`s PDF editor and add your own brand to the design we created with this sales offer form. The inclusion of the terms « in accordance with the contract » or the use of a « comfort letter » generally renders the conditions inapplicable.
