In 2001, the UN Security Council sent a powerful message to the world that the recruitment and use of child soldiers would no longer be tolerated.
Resolution 1379 requested the Secretary-General to attach an annex to his report on children and armed conflict, in which he would list parties to conflict who recruit and use children in situations on the Security Council’s agenda.
In a significant step, the resolution went further by requesting the Secretary-General to also list parties to conflict in situations that, although not on the Security Council’s agenda, in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security in accordance with Article 99 of the United Nations Charter.
New triggers for listing
On three occasions, the Security Council asked the Secretary-General to expand the scope of his annexes and to also list parties responsible for:
- patterns of killing and maiming children – resolution 1882 (2009)
- patterns of sexual violence against children – resolution 1882 (2009)
- recurrent attacks or threats of attacks on schools and hospitals, as well as on protected persons in relation to schools and hospitals – resolution 1998 (2011)
- abduction of children – resolution 2225 (2015)
66 armed groups or armed forces, in 14 countries, have been listed for one or more violations in the annexes of the Secretary-General’s annual report covering the year 2017.
Engagement with parties to conflict
The Security Council indicated that to be removed from the annexes to the Secretary-General’s report on children and armed conflict, parties to conflict named in the report had to engage in dialogue with the UN to develop and fully implement Action Plans. Action Plans are designed to end and prevent violations against children for which parties to conflict are listed.
For example, an Action Plan to end the recruitment and use of child soldiers by Government security forces can include the following actions:
A party to conflict shall be eligible for de-listing upon United Nations verification that all activities included in an Action Plan have been successfully implemented.
The Special Representative, and the entire UN system, use every opportunity for engagement with parties to conflict to obtain commitments and actions that make a difference in children’s lives.
Children, Not Soldiers
In 2014, the Special Representative launched the campaign “Children, Not Soldiers” with UNICEF to bring about a global consensus that child soldiers should not be used in conflict. The campaign was designed to generate momentum, political will and international support to turn the page once and for all on the recruitment of children by national security forces in conflict situations.
The campaign has now ended, but the consensus envisioned is now a reality. All Governments concerned by the Campaign are engaged in an Action Plan process with the United Nations. Chad and the Democratic Republic of the Congo put in place all necessary measures to end and prevent the recruitment of children in their armed forces and are no longer listed. While
crises have hampered progress in Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen, there have been significant improvements and a reduction in verified cases of recruitment and use of children by national security forces, especially in Afghanistan, Myanmar and Sudan. National campaigns to promote the objectives of “Children, Not Soldiers” have been launched in most countries concerned and beyond.
Engagement with non-State armed groups
A key challenge and priority of the Special Representative is engagement with non-State actors to end and prevent grave violations against children. Non-State armed groups have systematically constituted the vast majority of parties listed for grave violations against children in the annual reports of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict.
There are new possibilities of engagement to respond to and prevent violations committed by non-State armed groups but dialogue with this diverse group of actors presents unique challenges. Their nature, operational environments, aspirations and objectives need to be taken into consideration. The cooperation of Governments is also critical. As part of her advocacy, the Special Representative has urged all Governments concerned to facilitate dialogue between the United Nations and non-State armed groups, as a way to achieve the common goal of protecting children.
Peace processes as entry points to protect children
From early on, peace talks and ceasefire negotiations were identified as entry points to address children’s needs and their protection. When parties to a conflict begin to negotiate peace, there are unique opportunities to address the needs of those who often form the majority of the population: children. This mandate has demonstrated on several occasions that parties to conflict can agree on the protection of children, even when they disagree on almost everything else. Engagement on issues such as the separation, release and handover of children can provide an entry point and offer a unique common denominator for parties in otherwise difficult or protracted negotiations.
In Colombia for example, the involvement of the Special Representative contributed to a historic agreement between the FARC-EP and the Government to release all children recruited by the FARC.
Peace processes are critical opportunities and United Nations bodies, Member States and mediators are encouraged to support the inclusion of child protection priorities and perspectives in negotiations.

Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane is on Monday expected to release a report on expenditure incurred in the preparation for the funeral of later former president Nelson Mandela.
Mkhwebane's spokesperson Cleopatra Mosana said the Public Protector investigated allegations of misappropriation of public funds, improper conduct and maladministration by the Eastern Cape Provincial government and other organs of state in connection with Mandela's funeral.
Former public protector Thuli Madonsela announced in 2016 that her office was investigating allegations of maladministration, corruption and misuse of public funds relating to the procurement of service providers for the former statesman's memorial services and funeral.
Various Eastern Cape municipalities allegedly spent nearly R65m without following proper procurement procedures.
A report in May 2016 revealed that R22m was used for T-shirts, food and transport.
However, the African National Congress denied that government funds were misused.
Mandela died on December 5, 2013.
The briefing is taking place at the Public Protector House in Pretoria at 14:00.

In-House-TechnologiesWe have the technique, the knowledge and the experience
To ensure consistency with the wishes and demands of our time, a lot of attention is given to innovation and engineering by use of our in-house technologies. In addition to the design and assembly of monitors, we can dispose of all the knowledge and operations to run the process from start to end product.
One of our In-House Technologies is optical bonding. During optical bonding a crystal clear gel coating is applied between the LCD surface and the glass. As a result, the lack of extra light refraction becomes the main feature, in addition to the advantages of absence of dust and moist, as also resistance to vandalism. Another major advantage is the faster heat drainage. In terms of the image, the contrast and brightness are being improved. A clear image is created when a combination is made with one of the other techniques.Read more
Nottrot monitors make use of Ultra Deep Dimming. Ultra Deep Dimming ensures that the brightness of the monitor can be controlled smoothly in 256 steps with an adjustable logarithmic curve. This makes the monitor perfectly readable both during the day with bright sunlight and at night in the dark. With brightness levels going even lower than 0.01Cd, our monitors can be dimmed to the exact level your eyes feel comfortable with. Different types of dimming are available.Read More
The deployment of High Bright LED ensures that monitors can be read, also in case of extremely bright (sun)light. Where a standard monitor provides about 400 nits of light output, the upgrade to high bright LED could achieve 1,500 nits or more. This option is often applied in combination with optical bonding.Read More
Laminating and calibration of touch sensors
Nottrot has the equipment and the knowledge to laminate a projected capacitive touch screen behind glass. In addition, firmware is written for each touch screen to guarantee the functioning of the touch screen.
Especially for custom monitors behind glass this is done in-house, to make sure everything is under control and to guarantee proper functioning.
Adjusting a PCAP touch screen can be done with our NCom app & a PLC (R485).Read More
Engineering & Design
Engineering is one of our core activities. We like to be at the forefront regarding innovations, technique and production methods. Therefore we have sufficient knowledge at our disposal to realize projects in-company from start to finish.
- Mechanical Engineering/3D-design
- Certification IEC60945, Type approval
- Prototyping & 3D-Printing
- Electronics Engineering
Nottrot manufactures customized monitors to the client’s wishes, for a variety of clients and applications.
In addition to the glass bridges and SGMS (single glass multi-screen), Nottrot also manufactures monitors entirely to the client’s wishes. In consultation with the client, our design team develops an entirely new monitor or a part thereof. Nottrot has developed custom monitors for museums like Madurodam, the meat industry, ANWB, Schiphol airport, the catering industry and similar.
We can apply every conceivable material and are therefore always able to devise and develop a monitor solution.
At Nottrot, a team of specialists is available every day to help you with this. With our many years of experience, we expertly look at which display solution is best suited for your application. As a result, you are assured of the optimal implementation of the project for you. We are happy to share our expertise.

Citizen’s Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh, in collaboration with Ghashful, organised its seventh sub-national consultation meeting in Chattogram on Sunday, 2 October 2022. Earlier such consultations were held in Rangpur, Khulna, Tangail, Sylhet, Thakurgaon and Rangamati. The purpose of this consultation was to bring together the stakeholder representatives of Chattogram and gather their perspectives regarding “development” of their locality. The discussion revolved around asymmetry in development outcomes, corruption in access to public services, quality of education, child marriage, and the issues of people with disabilities (PwD), and adversity of social media concerning the youths.
The fallouts of unplanned infrastructural development in Chattogram were emphasised by the participants. For example, though a number of flyovers have been built in the city, water clogging under flyovers remains unresolved. On a positive note, it was highlighted that 70 percent service of public services in Chattogram are now digitally accessible.
It was maintained that people with disability (PwD) receive only a minimum allowance from the government and do not benefit from other incentives, such as tax rebates. Participants even pointed out that in the country’s latest Population Census (2022), a large part of the PWD community remained unlisted.
Brille textbooks are being provided by the government to visually impaired people in urban areas, these facilities are yet to reach rural communities. There is also a need for producing textbooks for people with other forms of disabilities e.g., neurological disorders.
Concerning public health services, the facilities are inadequate in the rural areas of Chattogram. Community clinic facilities remain either absent or very limited. Moreover, government doctors are often reluctant to work beyond the urban areas. Participants stressed the need for further improvement of Upazilla hospitals for providing better health services to women and senior citizens.
It was reckoned that the education sector is being heavily commercialised. Students in private educational establishments are unable to raise their voices due to fear of possible disciplinary actions. Students are compelled by their teachers to buy guidebooks and attend coaching classes, which often add to the financial burden of the family. It was mentioned that in a certain village, almost half of the students dropped out of school due to their inability to sustain high educational expenses. At the same time, some participants raised the issue of unfair political lobbying in educational institutions; school management committees are often subjected to such political interferences. Education officers of the government at the local level are also intimidated by political figures.
Some participants highlighted a number of adverse trends emerging among young students, particularly involvement in violent group politics and drug addiction. To deal with these challenges in the education sector, participants called for greater awareness and involvement of the parents. They also demanded greater engagement from the citizens regarding these issues. Appreciating the recent success of female footballers, it was observed that urban youths are disengaged from sports due to lack of facilities. Creating opportunities for youth engagement in sports and cultural activities can be meaningful way of keeping them out of harmful drugs and other distractions.
Regarding gender-based discrimination, female empowerment and representation in public forums were proposed as possible solutions to reduce existing biases. Participants opined that at least one-third of the members of the political parties need to be women. Women’s continued lack of decision-making authority within individual family units is one of the inhibiting factors behind limited female empowerment in the country. Even when the female members contribute financially to the family, they remain marginalised in the decision-making process. Furthermore, participants considered religious orthodoxy, lack of physical security and economic hardship as major reasons for increased child marriage. The need to change mindset and values concerning female child was underscored in this regard.
According to the participants, social media has emerged as an alternative media that uses the technique of clickbait to misguide users, unaware of fraud in digital platforms. As a result, mass people are often deluded with fake information and motivated propaganda instigating hate crimes.
The participants were of a general view that the socio-cultural environment and dominant value system of the country have changed dramatically since 1971. There is increased competition, rather than cooperation, in the society and the economy. The lack of democratic accountability is further aggravating the deterioration of the moral conscience of the country.
Dr Debapriya Bhattacharya, Convener of the Citizen’s Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh, and Mr Towfiqul Islam Khan, Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Policy Dialogue led the consultation session.

With a final round three-under 69 at Fort McMurray Golf Club, Joel Dahmen of Clarkston, Wash., won the Syncrude Boreal Open by five strokes on Sunday, claiming his second PGA Tour Canada win of the season and taking a commanding lead on the Order of Merit.
Dahmen, who won the PC Financial Open three weeks ago in Vancouver for his first PGA TOUR Canada win, leads the Order of Merit with $56,813 in earnings, and has a $28,815 lead on second place.
“I played really solid. I hit it great again,” said Dahmen, who finished 22 under for the week.
“I actually missed the first green, but after that I settled down and I hit it great. I didn’t make many putts, but I didn’t really have to. I made a birdie on nine to take a five-shot lead into the back nine and after that, nobody really made a push towards me,” he said.
Dahmen became the first wire-to-wire winner on PGA Tour Canada since John Ellis at the 2008 Mexican PGA Championship.
The top three on the Order of Merit through the Staal Foundation Open, which concludes July 20, earn a spot in the RBC Canadian Open.
“This virtually locks up my RBC Canadian Open spot, I’m pretty sure, so I get to play my first PGA Tour event in a month or so. That’s going to be incredible,” said Dahmen, who will also make his second career Web .com Tour start next week at the United Leasing Championship on a sponsor’s exemption.
At 15 under, Vancouver’s Ryan Williams finished fourth and claimed Freedom 55 Financial Canadian Player of the Week honours, finishing two strokes ahead of Seann Harlingten of West Vancouver and Riley Wheeldon of Comox, B.C.
The top Canadian at each PGA Tour Canada event earns the award plus a $1,500 prize, with the top Canadian on the Order of Merit at season’s end being named Freedom 55 Financial Canadian Player of the Year.

Project moves forward to open new dog park in Pratt.
Plans for a dog park in Pratt have been on the back burner for several months, but the project is now starting to move forward with a projected opening date in late spring of 2019, according to Pratt Recreation Director Bruce Pinkall.
Park Superintendent Mark Eckhoff selected the site just south of the large ball field at Sixth Street Park, where Shafer Lane curves to the west to intersect with Pine Street.
“I think it’s a good location and it’s an area that’s not being used,”
Eckhoff said. “It’s shady and there are restroom facilities available close by and a water line with easy access.”
Pinkall said that fencing for a dog park was donated anonymously last year.
City Manager Rick Eckert is enthusiastic about the dog park, seeing its potential as an economic benefit to Pratt.
“People traveling with their pets look for a place to stop and give them a chance to get out and run. While they’re here, they just might stay to eat or shop,” the city manager said. “We’re excited about it.”
Eckert said the location has easy access and parking, plus water is available nearby.
The idea of a dog park here was aired at a city council meeting last October and was enthusiastically embraced by city commissioners. Then- mayor Lucas Kumberg gave it thumbs’ up as a “great plan.”
One of the ideas discussed, Eckert said, was to have two dog parks – one for large dogs and one for small dogs – but the current plan is to have one park for all dogs.
Pinkall said that if there were problems co-mingling large and small dogs that could be addressed by putting in a divider fence.
The rules for the dog park will follow those of other dog parks in the state. Owners will need to be in attendance with their pets and pick up after them. Proof of up-to-date vaccinations will be required. Dog owners will be responsible for their pets and accept the risk of bringing them to the park. There will also be established hours for use.
Plans include a double-gated entry to the park for safety of pets. Disposal bags will be provided.
There will be benches for dog owners and a picnic table already on site will remain. The trees will not be disturbed, other than for trimming, Eckoff said.
Pinkall said that there has also been discussion of activity areas, but that would probably come later as the use of the park was evaluated.
Anyone interested in serving on a dog park committee should call Pinkall at 620-672-3261.

A video clip of prisoners at Chamgang Central Prison in Thimphu yelling “we want justice” is going viral on facebook with more than 45,000 views as of 7:30 pm yesterday. The one minute and 49-second clip shows prisoners gathered in a fairly large hall wearing hats and much their faces covered with masks protesting against an alleged police brutality. Three prisoners, one of them apparently a non-Bhutanese, are seen speaking in the video in Dzongkha and Hindi respectively. Speaking to The Journalist, the chief of police, Major General Chimi Dorji, said that a prison is a place where the inmates are supposed to get reformed, not conduct illegal activities. “But in some way, they are in possession of phones and drugs” he said. “It is the work of the visitors and we are also investigating the smuggling of phones and drugs.” According to the police chief, the prison officials have been seizing a lot of mobile phones and that is why the prisoners were “agitated and unhappy”. “With continuous seizure of phones, they are just trying to revolt against the authority.” “Actually, there are only a few disgruntled ones and they are influencing others, the mastermind behind the protest,” he added. “They are protesting because they don’t want us to investigate.” Regarding the prisoners’ claim that the officer-in-command (OC) at the prison is beating them up, the police chief said that a probe has been launched into the matter. “But we don’t believe (Major) Wangdi (the OC) has been doing these things.” The three inmates speaking in the video are claiming that the prisoners, both young and old, are being beaten up “like cows” by the new OC by "luring" them outside their hostels. “We were told Major Wangdi will reform us but he has been ruining us,” says one prisoner. “We are treated unfairly..., please come to our rescue.” The Journalist has learned that the leaders and perpetrators of the protest are the ones caught with drugs and phones. In 2019, the police investigated into the drug bust of more than 1,000 capsules of spasmo proxyvon plus (SP+) from Chamgang central jail. As of July 2017, Chamgang prison had 363 inmates, including 20 non-Bhutanese, of which more than half were imprisoned for drug related offences. Police records then showed that 178 of the total were jailed for drug related offences. More than 6o percent of the convicts involved in drug related cases were from Thimphu Dzongkhag.

Jon Ehrlich, music composer for FOX TVâ€™s mega-hit drama series House, and his company, JECO Music, announced the debut of â€œThe Score,â€? their newest online premium music library. www.jecomusic.com
â€œThe Scoreâ€? was created specifically for dramatic TV, reality, documentary, and film projects. Comprised of more than 500 unique tracks that are searchable via a powerful (yet uncluttered and elegant) online search engine, â€œThe Scoreâ€? offers users tracks that, once downloaded, are each embedded with ID3 metadata for easy searching within iTunes or other library software.
In keeping with JECO Musicâ€™s commitment to release library music containing tracks originally created for actual projects (for which JECO was able to retain the publishing rights), â€œThe Scoreâ€? fills a void in production music by offering tracks with dramatically more substance.
Said Ehrlich, â€œAs production budgets shrink and delivery times compress, we saw the need for a new long-form custom library to help producers score their projects almost as if the music was all custom-written. In fact, just like in our other two libraries (â€œThe Spotâ€? and â€œThe Source,â€?) each of the tracks on this new library was originally written for a specific TV show, film, or doc. So the attention to detail is there in a way I feel is lacking in a lot of other library music Iâ€™ve heard.â€?
Ehrlich adds, â€œWhen you hear these tracks, you can tell instantly that they are original and not bulk-produced. All of them have a custom feel, and none of them sounds or feels like typical stock music.â€?
Composer and JECO Music co-founder Leigh Roberts says, â€œâ€˜The Scoreâ€™ is a library with a distinct purpose â€“ to provide the right emotional content for a scene without sounding canned or self-conscious. We feel the way to do this is not by having a composer sit in a room all day writing, say, â€˜energeticâ€™ music, but by pulling from stuff weâ€™ve already done that has been informed by real creative, real visuals, real story.â€?
Roberts continues, â€œAs composers on many TV and film projects, we know that not every scene can, or even should, be scored with library music. But when library music is called for, we feel â€˜The Scoreâ€™ will offer creative choices beyond what other libraries can offer.â€?
Producer/Director/Editor Tom Donahue (Guest of Cindy Sherman, A&Eâ€™s Growing Up Gotti, HBOâ€™s Naked World) agrees: â€œThe music from this library is just so incredibly versatile. I had been using tracks from JECOâ€™s commercial-length library, â€˜The Spot,â€™ in many of my projects, but was frustrated that they didnâ€™t offer longer versions. Thankfully, Jon and Leigh heeded my request and created this new library for those of us working on long-form projects. Itâ€™s a real time-saver when I can just pop one of Jecoâ€™s tracks into my edit and it instantly works.â€?
Charles Knight, producer of Tankboy TV, recently used “The Score” for his latest show. Knight explains, “I first became acquainted with JECO and their music during my time as Post Producer for Disney’s Power Rangers â€˜Operation Overdriveâ€™ and â€˜Jungle Fury.â€™ Since that time, I have worked with JECO on original scoring and have also pulled music from their libraries. Itâ€™s a testament to â€˜The Scoreâ€™sâ€™ quality that I canâ€™t tell the difference between the two —
the original scoring and the library music. Normally, library tracks stick out or just donâ€™t feel quite right; not the case with these tracks. I think many producers will find this new library to be invaluable. I am already using it to temp-score my next project. My guess is that a lot of it will actually end up in our show.â€?
â€œThe Score,â€? in addition to JECO Musicâ€™s other two libraries â€œThe Spotâ€? and â€œThe Source,â€? is available online at http://www.jecomusic.com/libraries

University of Maryland Accepts Bid To The 2013 Military Bowl Presented by Northrop Grumman
The Terrapins (7-5) will play Conference USA East Division champion Marshall (9-4).
It will be the first meeting between the teams.
“We are looking forward to a first-rate matchup,” Military Bowl President & Executive Director Steve Beck said. “Maryland has built plenty of momentum and finished this season strong, while Marshall features a high-powered offense. We’re excited about this game being one of our best ever.”
This will be the fifth bowl appearance in the past eight seasons for the Terrapins, whose last bowl game was a 51-20 victory in the 2010 Military Bowl. Maryland played one opponent from Conference USA this season, beating Florida International, 43-10, in its season opener.
Led by dynamic quarterback C.J. Brown, Maryland started this season 4-0 and entered the national rankings for the first time under third-year coach Randy Edsall. The Terrapins closed strong down the stretch, posting road victories at Virginia Tech and North Carolina State.
Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato guided an offense that averaged 43 points per game this season. This will be the Thundering Herd’s second game this season against an opponent from the Atlantic Coast Conference. Marshall lost to Virginia Tech, 29-21 in triple overtime, on Sept. 21.
In its sixth year, the Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman brings the excitement of postseason football to the Washington, D.C., area while also supporting the USO and our nation’s military personnel. Once again, the Military Bowl this year will donate at least $100,000 to the USO and provide complimentary tickets for active-duty military personnel and their families.
Tickets for the Military Bowl are on sale now at militarybowl.org, with prices starting at $20.

With historic sites around New Melones Reservoir being exposed by receding water levels, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is reminding visitors that it's against federal law to alter, disturb or remove any artifacts.
The bureau issued a statement Thursday asking visitors to help protect the historic and cultural resources by not handling, removing, relocating or destroying any artifacts or ruins found on or along the lake bed.
New Melones Reservoir is nearing historic lows after three straight years of drought.
The reservoir contained just over 559,000 acre-feet of water this morning, according to the California Department of Water Resources. That is far below the reservoir's total capacity of 2.4 million acre-feet and just 40 percent of the historical average to date.
Ruins from the old town of Melones are becoming visible as water levels recede, including the foundation of a stamp mill. The former gold mining town was flooded after the New Melones project was completed in 1978.
Historic sites around the lake and those that are normally covered by water in the reservoir are protected by the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, the bureau said. The use of metal detectors is also prohibited within the New Melones Project Area.
To report any found ruins or artifacts - or any tampering, destruction or removal of ruins or artifacts - call the New Melones Lake office at 536-9094.

Chelsea – Hull City Premier League Preview
Hull City had a roller coaster of a season last time, which began with full of promise, but ended in a harsh relegation battle that saw them avoid the axe by a hair’s breadth.
Presently, the club are in their sophomore season, and manager Phil Brown has shown a lot of initiative in bringing in much needed talent to the Tigers. The success of the influx of talent will be seen when they take on arguably the strongest team in the Premier League.
Chelsea have a largely unchanged squad that currently boasts of one of the most accomplished managers in the form of Carlo Ancelotti. Being one of the hot favourites to win the title, combined with their newly found positivity in the dressing room, the Blues will hope to begin their season on a positive note.

“From the point of view of the criminal expert,” said Mr. Sherlock Holmes, “London has become a singularly uninteresting city since the death of the late lamented Professor Moriarty.”
The Adventure of the Norwood Builder was first published in November 1903 in The Strand Magazine forming part of The Return of Sherlock Holmes. The adventure is actually set in 1894 and involves Holmes investigating the apparent murder of Jonas Oldacre by John Hector McFarlane. Although it does not have a railway theme per se there is a connection in that a vital clue is provided to Holmes on a train.

With huge thanks to Brooklinegirl for encouraging, holding my hand, and beta-ing. *hearts*
When Lilly pressed her mouth to Veronica's, it tasted like strawberries and lipgloss. Lilly's room always smelled like her, a little bit of musk infused with all the perfume - Lilly's real scent among the maids' fresheners. She always took her scent with her, and whenever Veronica lowered her head to Lilly's to gossip at lunch, Lilly's hair would brush her nose and her sweater would give off that same scent. She wasn't sure how, but Veronica had come to associate that smell with home, something familiar and theirs.
Now she was entirely surrounded by it, lying on Lilly's huge bed, the sunlight filtering through the window. Lilly rolled them over and pushed her legs between Veronica's - Veronica let her almost reluctantly, as if she had to pretend. But then she remembered that she didn't.
"Red satin?" she asked, and her voice came out husky. The sound of it dissipated among the sunlight. Lilly's huge eyes shut and she moaned, pressing her lips back to Veronica's, opening them up with her soft tongue.
"Entirely red," she murmured when they broke apart. "Own it, Veronica. You're a future femme fatale." Her eyes glittered and laughed at her, and before Veronica even had a chance to laugh in return, Lilly slid her warm hand up Veronica's shirt and settled it gently on top of her bra. "And some lace, too...for the extra kick."
Lilly's fingers slipped over the lace and inside, sliding against her nipple, forcing a gasp from Veronica.
"Yeah..." Lilly bunched the hem of Veronica's sweater in her other hand and pushed it all the way up. She lowered her mouth to the spot her fingers had found, sucking and nibbling. Veronica moaned steadily now, thinking that she should probably be feeling some sort of shame for this, or guilt over Duncan, but Lilly was her best friend. Best friends could do anything.
When Lilly followed the line of Veronica's body down, pushing aside her clothes as she went, Veronica brushed her fingers over Lilly's hair and shoulder and breasts and sank deeper against the covers. When Lilly slid Veronica's underwear down and off her hips and licked her way inside, Veronica found she could laugh breathless.
"Satin and lace and..." Lilly flicked her tongue against Veronica. "Mmm, some red velvet, maybe, too." Another soft flick. "For special occasions..."
The cool water surrounded her completely, finding its way into places Veronica never thought ocean water would reach. She giggled and closed her eyes and for one breathless moment, she could almost smell strawberries and musk in the water, feel Lilly's light and sure touch. Lilly was around - she had known it before, and now she knew it for certain. She drifted onto her back, allowing the water - air - Lilly - to surround her and briefly lull her to happiness.

Pashtuns have been the subject of enquiry for many centuries now, chiefly on account of their warlike nature, refusal to accept foreign overlordship and incredible tenacity in the face of adversity. Starting from the Macedonian conqueror, Alexander, every invader has learnt the futility of any attempts to break the will of this fierce race. More recently, empires starting from that of the British in the 19th century have been defeated by the warlike Pashtuns. In the 20th century, it was the turn of the Soviets to be humiliated by the defiant Pashtuns and in this century, it was the mighty United States that was humbled by these same people.
Not surprisingly, a mythology has been built up around the Pashtuns, a race that inhabits large parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. They have become famous as empire slayers and the Pashtun stands out as a poor but indomitable example of humanity. All this has naturally prompted an outpouring of literature on the Pashtuns, the people, their land and history.
Analyst and author Tilak Devasher is among the latest to wade into the subject of the Pashtuns. What makes his analysis and book different is his holistic approach to the Pashtun people. Previous writers, mostly Western ones, tended to make a distinction between the Pashtuns living in Afghanistan and those living in Pakistan. Some authors, the British, in particular, tried to make out that the Pashtun speaking people living in Pakistan were a race called Pathans while those living in Afghanistan were Pashtun.
This was a completely artificial and specious distinction that led to much error and a distorted view of Pashtun history as well as their contemporary political and geopolitical problems. Devasher clears this false distinction right in the beginning of his book and thus sets the stage for a true understanding of the Pashtun people.
The book begins with the famous quote by Khushal Khan Khattak, the national poet of Afghanistan: “Pull out your swords and slay anyone that says Pashtun and Afghan are not one! Arabs know this and so do Romans: Afghans are Pashtuns, Pashtuns are Afghans.”
The author goes on to point out that there “has been a fair amount of confusion about the terms Pashtun, Pakhtun, Pathan and Afghan… Until the Sikh conquests in the nineteenth century and then the British Raj, the Pashtuns were politically united and part of a Pashtun empire that stretched eastwards as far as the Indus River. The Sikh seizure of the Pashtun lands and the bulk of the population between the Indus and the Khyber Pass, and its formalisation by the Durand Line Agreement with the British in 1893, was a devastating blow to the Pashtuns. After having lost a large portion of the Pashtun population, Amir Abdul Rahman expanded his empire northwards, making large non-Pashtun territories part of his empire. Thus, the nomenclature Afghan became a multi-ethnic identity rather than that of a single ethnic group. In the twentieth century, an Afghan law declared all citizens of Afghanistan as Afghan and so Pashtun came to be used more commonly describing the ethnic group instead of the earlier Afghan. In Pakistan, however, Pashtuns still refer to themselves as Afghans.”
Just as the British before them, the state of Pakistan has tried to justify the division of Pashtun lands and promote the fiction that Pashtuns living east of the Durand Line have a different history and ethnicity. The author argues that this has been the cause of lingering tensions. “A critical thread after the creation of Pakistan in 1947 has been the Pashtunistan issue,” he writes. “The newly created state of Pakistan inherited the British territories and with it the issue of Afghan irredentism. The efforts of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan to unite the Pashtuns at the time of the Partition of the subcontinent came to naught but it sowed the seeds of doubt amongst the Pakistani leadership about the loyalty of his followers. Post-Partition, several Pashtun-led Afghan governments, notably those of Mohammad Daoud Khan, intermittently raised the issue of Pashtunistan and about the validity of the Durand Line, and challenged Pakistan’s right to rule over its Pashtun areas.”
“For its part, Pakistan has worked systematically to overwhelm Pashtun impulses for Pashtunistan. This central thread has been one of the key drivers of Pakistan's policy towards the Pashtuns and its efforts to snuff out Pashtun nationalism and have a friendly government in Kabul has been mainly responsible for the current turmoil in Pashtunistan,” Devasher points out. Several chapters towards the end of this book detail how and why the effects of this impulse continue to cause unrest, violence and tragedy both in Afghanistan and in Pakistan.
The book is not a simple chronological narrative of Pashtun history. Rather, it is an attempt to describe the various facets of the Pashtun character, life, tendencies, history and so on, in order to explain why they remain a troubled people in a continually troubled part of the world. It also brings the reader up to date on the developments related to the Pashtuns both in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Pertinently, the book discusses the two main contemporary Pashtun political movements: the Afghan Taliban and the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Here too, by viewing the Pashtuns as one undifferentiated ethnic group straddling two nations, Devasher’s book provides compelling insights into the tumultuous and often violent politics of today’s Pashtun lands. No South Asia watcher can afford to ignore this book.

In a long overdue move, Al Gore and his partner Joel Hyatt cashed out Current, a non-starter cable channel for lefties (a role already more than adequately filled by MSNBC). They have been trying to unload this turkey for years. Qatar owned Al Jazeera, the Middle East news network paid an astonishing five hundred million for Current. The network never had more than a handful of viewers; however, it does have distribution deals with most all of the sources where folks pick up cable content. Al Jazeera has worked to gain a spot on cable for its English broadcasts, so we can assume that’s what they ponied up a half-billion dollars for, Current’s cable slots.
The ink was barely dry on this deal when Time Warner, the number two cable company in the US, announced they were dumping Current. They gave no reason and say they have an “open mind” on returning the channel to Al Jazeera, a claim that is pretty hard to swallow. A case of Islamophobia seems a much more likely reason. Violent opposition to Al Jazeera by the Bush administration spooked the cable operators and reinforced their unwarranted bias against anything with the slightest connection to Islam. If bias concerns Time Warner, they obviously have not been watching Current or any number of other channels in their line-up.
Time Warner used a clause in the Current agreement that allowed them to dump the network if it was sold. Some have suggested that the cable giant took the “out” as a negotiating tactic to cut a better deal. Given the logistics involved –you don’t just flip a switch to take a channel down– that seems unlikely. Besides, a threat of a cut-off is a much more effective negotiating tool. Shame on Time Warner; there is no more reason to block Al Jazeera than BBC America. With the thousands of channels Time Warner offers subscribers, there is surely room to retain the space Current occupies. It’s not like anyone is going to be forced to watch Al Jazeera, it just should be available.
Al Jazeera’s plan to convert Current to Al Jazeera America sounds interesting to any open-minded individual or organization, as Time Warner claims to be. The plan calls for as many as ten bureaus in the country, up from the five they now have, and as many as 300 staffers. Just the potential for them to offer coverage of more than major happenings in America to the people of the Middle East is more than enough reason to encourage their growth.
While the First Amendment applies only to government interference with speech and the press, the spirit of that guardian of the people’s right to know should lead Time Warner to do the right thing, the ethical thing. Knock off this nonsense and offer Al Jazeera to your customers.

Immediate Placement Implants
Immediate placement implants have become a referent as regards treatments to recover lost dental pieces, making it easier, faster and more reliable to recover your smile and your dental health.
1. What are Immediate Placement Implants?
An immediate placement implant is an implantology treatment that allows patients to recover lost tooth in only one day. With this technique we are able to recover one or several dental pieces, giving back functionality and aesthetics to your mouth.
At Marbella Dental Arts Clinic we are specialists in immediate placement implant. This is why at our clinic we will place the definitive implants and crowns or the temporary replacements depending on the situation in just one session.
2. Are immediate placement implants important for me?
Most patients are able to use immediate placement implants as long as they meet the following requirements:
- Have enough bone and in good condition (in some cases, immediate load can be performed in patients with very little bone left, but this is something the specialist in dental implants will consider at the clinic).
- The patient must have good oral hygiene habits and must brush his teeth at least three times a day after treatment.
- There should be no gingival and periodontal disease in adjacent teeth. If any of these diseases are detected in the adjacent teeth, the patient must undergo the corresponding treatments before the implant.
- The patient should not suffer from bruxism.
- The patient must have a proper occlusion, where the teeth of the upper jaw slightly overlap the lower ones.
In any case when requesting the previous check-up and free estimate the specialist will decide whether these type of implants is the suitable one for the patient depending on the medical results obtained from the previous check-up.
3. Advantages of Immediate Placement Implants
This type of implants present many advantages compared to traditional treatments:
- In just one session you will recover all the missing pieces: implants + crowns.
- We reduce treatment by 6 and 8 weeks. You don't need to wait for the implant to be placed after the crown.
- There is no need for the patient to use uncomfortable removable braces, which facilitates adjustment of the mouth and the gum to the definitive prostheses.
- You will recover masticatory function immediately.
- The difference in price compared to a traditional transplant is minimum.
- You will recover your smile and oral health faster.
The immediate load dental implant treatment is completely safe, predictable and reliable, but it is important to bear in mind the requirements mentioned above.
Request an appointment at Marbella Dental Arts Clinic and ask any question you may have concerning dental implants. Our specialists will analyse your case and will offer a solution that adapts to your needs to improve your quality of life.

Single on du Monde, vocals by Sharon Sims, by Sydney band formed in 1968 that went through several personnel changes and genres, from hard rock to psychedelia to Top 40 pop.
For recent news on Flake's flautist and saxophonist Dave Allen see his blog Burning Mountain Studio, which links to his pages on Flake history.
Suggestion from Mike Robbins, who also posted the video at YouTube and comments: Marmalade may have had the original UK hit, but with the fabulous vocals of Sharon Sims out front, this version by Flake wins hands down for me.
Further research? Six of their tracks, on four singles, were written or co-written by Russell Mabery who could be connected with 70s soul group The Mayberry Movement, one of whose members was Jesse Mabery. (See 2009 post by ady croasdell at soul-source.co.uk.)
Dean Ford (b.Thomas McAleese) wrote this song with band member Junior [William] Campbell. At YouTube, Dean Ford performs Reflections Of My Life in 2014, with content from 1969. The comments there and elsewhere show that the song has special meaning for some veterans who associate it with their Vietnam War days.
See also the Campbell-McAleese song Rainbow (1970), covered in Australia by Elm Tree.
Marmalade had eight Top 10 hits in Britain including one #1, their cover version of The Beatles' Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.
Further reading: 1. The Marmalade page at Rockingscots. 2. Dean Ford & The Gaylords from the defunct British Beat Boom site [Internet Archive]. 3. Marmalade biography by Bruce Eder at AllMusic. Eder: [Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da] become a number one hit in England and sold millions of copies around the world, generating a massive amount of radio exposure. The problem was that it wasn't really what the group was about. Marmalade was much more influenced by American soul, folk-rock, and progressive rock, but they had become locked into an image as a soft, bubblegum-type pop/rock band.
Thanks to Peter Clarke and Terry Stacey.

Have you ever wondered how hackers hack your device? You may be surprised to learn that there are many ways for them to do it, including using malicious software or even physical access. In this article, I’ll discuss six ways you can protect yourself from hackers and keep your information safe.
A firewall is a security system that monitors and controls network traffic. Firewalls can be installed on computers and routers, but they’re also available as software or hardware devices. The purpose of a firewall is to prevent unauthorized access to your computer by blocking IP addresses (Internet Protocol addresses), port numbers, and any other information that hackers might use to gain access to your device.
USE ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE
If you want to keep your device safe, it’s important to use a good antivirus software. In addition to protecting your computer from viruses, worms and other malware threats, antivirus software can also detect spyware and Trojans.
Antivirus software scans files on your computer for malicious code or other harmful content before it loads them into memory. This makes sure that no harmful components are included in new downloads or files downloaded from the internet and it makes sure nothing gets onto the hard drive without being scanned first!
UPDATE YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM
- How often should you update your operating system? There is no set rule for this, but it’s generally recommended that you update your device’s software at least once every 6 months or so. This will ensure that vulnerabilities are being patched and security updates are installed on the device, which can help prevent hackers from gaining access to sensitive data or hijacking accounts using malware installed in the background of your computer or smartphone.
- If a hacker is able to gain control over these devices through malicious software, then they could use them as tools for doing harm: stealing personal information or accessing sensitive documents if an employee leaves their desk without locking up all the files they need access too; listening in on private conversations between coworkers across cubicles while they share lunch breaks outside
CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS
Use a different password for each account. If you use the same password for all your accounts, hackers can easily find out which one they need to break into next. Instead of using just one password, make sure that you have at least three different ones: one for work and other personal accounts; one for each of these two sets of names; and maybe even another one if that seems like overkill.
Don’t use easy-to-guess passwords. Some people think that making up the most obvious passwords like their birthday or grandmother’s name is good enough because they’re hard to guess but this isn’t true! If someone knows something about you (like where you live), then there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be able to guess your password based on that bit of information alone (and if not then it probably isn’t very secure). The same goes for choosing an overly complicated combination of letters/numbers/symbols these will only confuse anyone who wants access too them but doesn’t know what else might be coming next!
- Update your operating system. As soon as an update is available, download it and install it on your device.
- Update your antivirus software and make sure that you have the latest versions of both, which are available in the app stores on most devices.
- Update all plugins (like Flash) on browsers to avoid getting hacked by hackers who use those vulnerabilities to infect devices with malware or viruses.
- Check if there are any updates available for apps on your phone or tablet; you can also check whether they need an update right away. If there’s nothing new since installing them before, check if they’re compatible with other applications installed on the same device; this might mean uninstalling some older ones first before installing newer ones.
You should back up your data regularly. There are several ways you can do this, including:
- Backup data to cloud storage services like Dropbox or Google Drive. These are convenient and easy ways to store files without having them on your device.
- Backup data onto a hard drive for extra security and protection against malicious software that could infect the memory of your computer or laptop. A good place to keep this would be in an external enclosure that doesn’t contain any sensitive information itself, such as those made by [Amazon] (https://www2.amazonaws….). You can also use an external hard drive if it meets the following specifications: size between 250 GB – 2 TB; speed of 7200 RPM or higher; USB 3 or faster interface (USB 3 is recommended); 64-bit Windows operating system only required if installing directly into BIOS/UEFI settings rather than UEFI Shell/UEFI Desktop Mode
DELETE EMAILS AND MESSAGES THAT LOOK SUSPICIOUS
- Don’t open any attachments you don’t know.
- Don’t click on links in emails that look suspicious.
- Downloading files from a website with a suspicious domain name or IP address can be dangerous because it’s likely an attempt to infect your device with malware and steal your information, so keep these things in mind when downloading anything from the internet:
- Only download software from trusted sources (like Apple or Microsoft).
If you protect your device properly, you can reduce the risk of being hacked.
- Use a firewall. A firewall is software that protects your device from unauthorized access by hackers.
- Use antivirus software and update your operating system on a regular basis to stay up-to-date with new threats and vulnerabilities.
- Change passwords regularly and make sure they’re strong enough to withstand attacks from hackers who might try to break them. If you can’t remember which password you used for what site, then use a two-factor authentication (2FA) method like Google Authenticator or Authy instead of just having one long password that’s easy for someone else to guess at once they know what it is!
- Stay connected with friends through social media platforms like Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp so that if someone tries getting into your account or phone via phishing emails sent out by criminals looking for personal information about people who might be vulnerable due their age level or location where their parents live most likely will have some kind of weak security measures installed upon entering into services offered by companies such as Apple Inc., Microsoft Corporation LLC., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Amazon Technologies Incorporated etcetera; however this should not deter anyone from using these services because they provide benefits beyond just protecting against malware attacks found within applications themselves.”
The best way to protect your device is by using good security practices. You can do this by changing your passwords, setting up a firewall and keeping up to date on all of the latest software updates available for your operating system.

Charles Edwards, the Homeland Security Department’s deputy inspector general and acting IG, calls recent allegations of nepotism and improper travel “baseless” and says he’s convinced a Senate subcommittee investigation will clear his name.
Speaking exclusively to the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp, Edwards said he has provided complete documentation to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Financial and Contracting Oversight.
Last month, Sens. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), the subcommittee’s chair and ranking member, wrote to Edwards, requesting that he respond to allegations of misconduct raised by agency whistleblowers by July 19.
“It’s a handful of people, we think, that have complained because the majority of DHS OIG employees are happy with the way that the organization is being run,” Edwards told Federal News Radio.
Edwards: No nepotism in IG office
According to the Senate letter, Edwards is accused of violating anti-nepotism laws by employing his wife as a supervisory auditor within the office he supervises.
But Edwards said his wife no longer works at DHS and her tenure at the IG’s office actually predated his. Edwards’ wife, Madhuri Edwards, first came to the DHS IG’s office in April 2007 to work in the Office of Audits, and it wasn’t until 10 months later that Charles Edwards started working in the IG’s office, he said. Before he came on board, Charles Edwards added, the then-deputy IG OK’ed the move.
His wife never worked under his direct chain of command, he has maintained, and neither one acted as a supervisor to the other. By the time he was named acting IG in February 2011, his wife had already departed the agency for another job, he added.
Another allegation raised in the senators’ letter concerned Charles Edwards’ pursuit of a doctorate degree in information systems from Nova Southeastern University in Florida.
He is accused of traveling to south Florida to attend classes “under the guise of conducting ‘site visits’ to an OIG field office,” the letter stated.
Charles Edwards said he’s made five trips to Florida for official travel — three to Orlando and two to the Miami field office, he said, for which he has provided agendas and other documentation to the subcommittee.
According to those documents, Charles Edwards used a discount for Nova Southeastern students for his hotel room, fueling speculation that the purpose of the trip was not work-related.
He acknowledged using the $79 discounted rate — which was still valid, since he was working on his dissertation at that point but had completed all in-class coursework years before. But, he said, he only did so because it would save the government money. The government rate is $159.
Watchdog group has raised the alarm
Charles Edwards said he’s concerned about the impact of the allegations on the work of the IG’s office.
“I am certain that when they look at all of this, this will be nothing but a baseless allegation,” he said. “But, more importantly, this is taking away from the important work we have to.”
In fact, just Tuesday, the office confirmed it is in the preliminary stages of an investigation into U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Alejandro Mayorkas related to the EB-5 visa program.
Charles Edwards said he felt compelled to respond to the allegations when he did because of an interview aired Tuesday on the Federal Drive with Dan Epstein, the executive director of Cause of Action, an independent watchdog group that has been among his most vocal critics.
Epstein said his group has started to obtain documents showing impropriety on Charles Edwards’ part through Freedom of Information Act requests, which have taken the DHS OIG months to respond to.
“So, it’s very obvious, at this point, to the investigators at Cause of Action that Edwards has been using federal dollars to benefit himself — not public service,” Epstein told Federal News Radio.
In response to the Epstein interview, Charles Edwards said: “I really wanted to take the high road and not comment at all, but it’s been extremely hard, especially on my wife and family. So, I owe it to them [and] to my office to talk to you about the complete story.”
Tom Temin is the host of The Federal Drive, 6 a.m.-10 a.m. on 1500 AM in the Washington, D.C. region and online everywhere.

Here at Outlook Safaris we always do whatever we can to make our guests’ stay as comfortable as possible. This includes giving our guests a heads up on the weather, what’s news in the area and some handy packing tips.
Many times your trip to South Africa does not begin nor end in the Kruger National Park. Thus we thought it would be pretty handy telling you what the weather would be like in our main tourist cities; Cape Town and Johannesburg.
South African weather is in general very pleasant, even in winter time. The Western Cape, where the City of Cape Town is situated, is a winter rainfall region and every once in a while there is snowfall on the surrounding mountains.
Gauteng on the other hand is a summer rainfall region, meaning our skies are clear and blue during the winter. Most days are quite pleasant with chilly nights. When it does snow in the mountain regions we get all the cold air and that is when we truly feel the bite of winter.
The only time it gets cold in the Kruger National Park is during the winter nights and early mornings, the days are lovely during the winter as this region is also a summer rainfall area.
So, without further a’due, here is your weather forecast for the coming week.
|22 May||23 May||24 May||25 May||26 May||27 May|
|SUNNY||CHAINCES OF RAIN|
If you feel like double checking (because we all know he weather man can be wrong sometimes) feel free to check out this great website - http://www.worldweatheronline.com/
What to pack?
When taking the above weather into consideration we would recommend packing the following;
- Jeans, goes with pretty much any top and it is ideal for the evenings and mornings in the park.
- If you’re not a jeans person sweat pants should do the job as well.
- T-shirts and short sleeve tops

Packing when going on vacation to South Africa in the winter is a tricky business, you basically need to pack for two seasons. A handy trick when dressing in the winter in South Africa is to layer your clothing. This makes it easy to warm up or cool down at will. And the layers are easy to put in a backpack.
What’s in the news?

LAS VEGAS, June 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FAUN TRACKWAY USA, the leading manufacturer of portable roadways and runways, will be showcasing its UAV Landing Mat at the Association of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems International's (AUVSI) exhibition in Las Vegas.
The UAV Landing Mat – the first of its kind to be developed – is made of lightweight aluminium matting and provides a temporary smooth landing, regardless of terrain, for any size or weight of UAV.
Launched in autumn 2011, the mat can be deployed rapidly by hand and will prevent foreign object damage (FOD) so valuable UAV assets are protected. Arrestor gear, usually found on aircraft vehicles, can also be fitted to enable aircraft to rapidly decelerate on landing.
Over 40 different countries worldwide use FAUN TRACKWAY's suite of ground surfacing products and the Australian Armed Forces were the first to invest in the UAV Landing Mat with an 800,000 pounds Sterling order in December 2011.
Mike Holdcraft, VP business development at FAUN TRACKWAY USA, said: "As modern air combat and surveillance become increasingly dominated by UAVs, armed forces need to be sure they have the runway infrastructure in place to support operations taking place in remote locations."
"Our new UAV Landing Mat gives armed forces another tool in their armoury for deploying and retrieving drones in a wide range of climates, dramatically increasing their ability to employ UAVs during challenging operations."
FAUN TRACKWAY USA is exhibiting on stand 4913 at AUVSI's unmanned systems exhibition in North America.

2012_0427 - Europe double dip recession
Today I am going to dive into two controversial issues: whether the RBA “should” cut rates by 25 or 50 basis points next week, and what I call the “great RBA counter-factual”.
Total student loan debt in America recently exceeded $1 trillion and is now higher than credit card debt. It’s a mind-boggling figure, and one which has led some economists and commentators to claim it’s simply the latest financial bubble waiting to burst. Others editorialize about what all that debt says about the state of higher education in contemporary America.

A Gold Coast teenager will return to a South Australian court today after admitting killing Adelaide pensioner Robert Whitwell.
19-year-old Brittney Dwyer from Ormeau is the granddaughter of the 81-year-old.
She and co-accused Bernadette Burns admitted travelling from Brisbane last year to rob Mr Whitwell of his life savings, but their plan went wrong, and the elderly man ended up being killed in the ordeal.
ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER THIS ADVERTISEMENT
Prosecutors, who described the killing as “almost sociopathic” have yet to detail many of the circumstances surrounding the case.
The court has been told, however, that Dwyer was convinced her grandfather kept hundreds of thousands of dollars hidden in his backyard shed.
The case will be mentioned today in the Adelaide Supreme Court at the start of sentencing procedures.

- Health Minister believes that a vaccine for COVID-19 would be ready early in 2021.
- He declared that the state had been administering tests and rendering treatment free of cost.
THDNewsDesk: On Tuesday, Dr. K Sudhakar, Karnataka Health Minister, showed faith that a vaccine for COVID-19 would be ready early in 2021. He also stated that the government would ensure that it touches every inch of the state after its launch. This comment came after he met with Gagan Singh Bedi, AstraZeneca Managing Director. He stated the first phase of clinical tests of the vaccine were promising.
He stated, “The first phase trial of the vaccine developed by Oxford/AstraZeneca has been completed and has shown encouraging results. The second and third phase trials are underway.”
Minister stated Bedi had informed him that the company, which was striving to launch the vaccine at the beginning of 2021, could fulfill a billion doses.
Once it reached the market, the Karnataka government would assure that it was made accessible “in every nook and corner of the state.”
Covid frontline warriors will be the priority to get the vaccines. The minister stated that the doctors, nurses and paramedics, senior citizens, comorbidities, pregnant and lactating women, and children would be under the priority list.
To a question, he answered that the results of the first phase of clinical analysis were reassuring. Fifty-six people were given the vaccine promoting antigens, which has survived in them since then.
Health Minister stated, “We need to wait for six months to see whether the antigens are maintained.”
He did not respond to a question regarding the cost of the vaccine. He stated that he did not wish to get into the “controversy” over it. He would give this responsibility to Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa.
Though, he affirmed that the state had been administering tests and rendering treatment free of cost.
Sudhakar stated, “Our government is committed to public health. We will make sure it reaches all.”
Members of the Karnataka Technical Advisory Committee on COVID-19, as senior executives and specialists on the subject, were also attending the meeting.

To make this cake you will need...
Betty Crocker Bake 'n Fill Cake Pan (or a large and small Wilton Ball Pan)
2 large half ball cakes and 2 small ball inserts (when you read the directions, this will make sense)
large rectangular cake board or foam board
plastic shopping bags
small dowel or lollipop stick
1 large sharpened dowel
gumpaste (brown and orange)
white buttercream icing
1 tube of pre-made black icing
A few days in advance make the brown stick arms and orange nose out of gumpaste. Before the nose dries be sure to stick a small dowel or lollipop stick in the back.
***Decorator's Tip*** You can use colored gumpaste to make these pieces or use white gumpaste and airbrush the color on.
To make the hills on the cake board, crumble up the plastic bags and tape them down on the cake board. Then cover the entire board with plastic wrap and ice with white buttercream icing. Finally, sprinkle the coconut shavings around the board to give the effect of fallen snow.
***Decorator's Tip*** Be sure to leave the area where the snowman will sit completely flat. If he is tilting just a little he could fall over.
Bake 2 half ball cakes and 2 small half ball inserts. With the Betty Crocker Pan you have a small ball baking inside a large ball. The small ball is supposed to act as a filler for the large ball and it is baked this way so that all of the cake cooks evenly.
You will need to use the small inserts for the body so that the cake has proper support. The 2 extra inserts you bake will become the head of the snowman.
Place all of the ball halves together to make 1 large and 1 small ball and ice with white buttercream icing.
The easiest way to ice a ball cake is to ice the bottom first, place it on the board, then ice the top. Follow these steps for both the large and small cakes. Once the cakes are iced and stacked, immediately hammer a sharpened dowel through the center of the snowman.
***Decorator's Tip*** For added support, trim off a small amount of cake from the top of the large ball and the bottom of the small ball. Also try to slightly hammer the dowel into the cake board.
Decorate the snowman.
To make the scarf, roll out red fondant and cut a long rectangle and two small rectangles. These smaller rectangles will be the small hanging pieces of the scarf and should be placed on first. Pleat one end of the small rectangles and place them off to one side of the snowman. Next, take the long rectangle piece and wrap it around the neck of the snowman. Make sure to leave the seam in the back.
***Decorator's tip*** The imprints on the cake were made using the fondant decorative punch set like the one below but do not press all the way through the fondant.
To make the hat, roll out red fondant and cut a large semi-circle. Fold the semi-circle to make a cone shape and place it on the snowman's head. To make the fluffy white rim, ice with buttercream icing then, lightly press your spatula into the icing and pull away. You can also add a ball to the tip of your hat with buttercream icing.
To make the face, pipe on the eyes and mouth using the black tube of icing and tip #5. Finally, add the nose and arms to the cake.
Make the presents.
Ice the cupcakes and cover them in fondant. To decorate you can cover them in colored fondant or airbrush white fondant to the desired color.
To get the stripes on my presents I brushed stripes of water onto the fondant and rolled them in green decorating sugar.
Finally, stack the presents to your liking.

The International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) is the largest professional association devoted to excellence in campus public safety and law enforcement. Our members are police chiefs, public safety directors, law enforcement officers, and security personnel at higher education institutions across the globe.
Our members enjoy the knowledge and camaraderie of a global network of campus public safety experts, who share best practices, solve problems, and set standards for the profession. IACLEA has done this for more than 60 years—making IACLEA the leading authority for campus public safety.
IACLEA was created by 11 college and university security directors who met in November of 1958 at Arizona State University to discuss job challenges and mutual problems and to create a clearinghouse for information on issues that campus public safety directors across the country share. Today, IACLEA has 7,000+ memberships, currently filled by 4,000 leaders in campus public safety representing by 1,000+ higher education institutions in 14 countries.
"If you are in campus law enforcement, being an IACLEA member is a no-brainer. The experiences, networking, trainings, etc. are second to none! An IACLEA membership allows you access to experiences and knowledge from law enforcement leaders across the world at the stroke of a button, by submitting questions through the online membership discussion group.” - Derri Stormer, Major, Wake Forest University (North Carolina)
"When I'm looking for information or assistance specific to college/university public safety issues, IACLEA is my go-to resource. The collegiality amongst the members--regardless of what country or region they come from--is exceptional. The information-sharing amongst the members and the networking is worth the cost of the membership alone, yet those aren't the only benefits. The trainings, workshops, and, of course, the Annual Conference & Exposition are also not to be missed." - Rob Kilfoyle, Director of Public Safety and Emergency Management, Humber College (Toronto, Canada)
“IACLEA has proven to be an invaluable resource to me, particularly during my transition from municipal policing to campus policing. From the networking and great information shared at the annual conference to keeping abreast of current issues through Association communications, to taking advantage of the array of relevant trainings offered, IACLEA helps ground my leadership in best practices, offers support at all organizational levels, and positively impacts campus law enforcement interests across the globe." -Kristen Roman, chief of police, University of Wisconsin-Madison (Wisconsin)
