Islamism is a flavour of crazy unto itself.
Cases in point:
Seven months ago, Mossad says she was in the crowd of protesters when she was suddenly assaulted and beaten by an officer who called her an "infidel." The demonstration erupted into a horrific night of brutality in which 27 people were killed and hundreds injured in clashes between Egyptian security forces and mainly Coptic Christian demonstrators who were protesting against an attack on a church by Islamic extremists.
Yesterday at 6:20PM, as Fr. Roger Barthes began to celebrate mass, four youths, aged 14 to 18, broke into the Church of St. Joseph, before launching handfuls of pebbles at 150 faithful present at the service. Immediately, men began pursuing the young troublemakers, but in vain. They managed to vanish into thin air, heading towards the city La Conte.
Interrupted by regrettable unexpected event, Mass was finally able to proceed as planned. Although no one was injured and nothing was broken in the church, located along the Avenue Jean Moulin, the parishioners, many of whom are elderly, were greatly shocked by the disrespectful act of the youths of North African origin....
A controversy is brewing over the proposal for the construction of a Buddhist building here after the PAS-led state government ruled that new buildings should include Islamic designs to reflect the state capital’s status as an Islamic city.State Local Government, Culture, Arts and Tourism committee chairman Takiyuddin Hassan said developers must incorporate some Islamic elements in their plans or the proposals would be rejected.
“We will ensure development will be based on Islamic principles and features,” he told a press conference here.He claimed the ruling was well-accepted by the majority of developers, including non-Muslim developers.
It’s one thing when the people in a failed state live according to seventh century codes of conduct, it is quite another when the West, which has shown its ability to evolve, caves in to such backward thinking. It becomes a joke for the Islamists:
For Sheikh Mahlawi, however, the ulema have no choice about seeing non-veiled women in the streets, “since that is imposed on them,” but, where they have a say — such as whether to appear on TV with an unveiled woman — they must say no. He then proceeded to brag about how a female official from the U.S. Consulate wanted to meet with him, but he made her wear the hijab first.
Why is such a man calling the shots?
If anything, Islamism has been something of a gift, albeit an atrocious and violent one. It has shown to the post-modern West the liberal/leftist classes for what they really are: cowardly in the face of what is so obviously a violent cult and spiteful towards Christianity and conservatism. The sin of hypocrisy, among other things, has been so great that one stands agape at it. Where are the masses who fawn over adults' sexually deviant lifestyles as though they were children in need of incessant coddling? There is nothing brave about admitting what you do in a bedroom or bathroom in a society that – for whatever reason- lavishes praise for those sorts of things. Have a Pride March in Tehran if you’re brave. Why don’t the woman-hating/fearing paranoics from the West and the Middle East link arms and sashay amid rainbow coloured flags? Surely liberals the world over can embrace this vision of togetherness? Or are they afraid to even think it? And do we need to hash out the Islamic world's treatment of women? Where are the feminists and their Slut Walks when Aqsa Parvez or some of the Shafia family's women needed them? Where is the impassioned defense of women who are treated worse than cattle? Multiculturalism, it seems, trumps women's rights every time.
Islamism is this generation's Red Scare. It's not an irrational fear if there is a real threat. How do you appeal to a group of perpetually angry people who are affronted by everything?

Providence makes visitor policy changes, masks still required
SPOKANE, Wash. — Providence ministries announced new changes to their visitor policies in Spokane and Stevens counties.
Now that COVID-19 cases began to drop, Providence says they will begin to allow more visitors inside their facilities.
Providence said they know it has been hard for patients to see their family in friends throughout the pandemic, especially through the omicron surge.
Starting Thursday, all non-COVID adult inpatients in hospitals and medical centers may have one visitor per day. Adult outpatients who have appointments at hospitals or clinics can now have one support person. All non-COVID laboring inpatients can have one support person and one visitor during the labor and birth process.
Pediatric patients are still allowed to have two adult visitors at hospitals or clinics. All visitors must be screened, wear a mask, and follow other safety measures.
Despite the mask restrictions getting lifted across the state, Providence is still requiring that all visitors and patients wear masks to protect caregivers and other patients.
You can view the full visitor policy here.

By Kehinde Akinpelu , Ilorin.
A call has been made for the funding of Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) by their sponsors, multilateral, charitable organizations and governments.
The call was made in Ilorin at the pre-conference seminar organized by an NGO- The Conference of Autochthonous Ethnic Communities Development Associations (CONECDA) in Olufunmilayo Hall, Circular Hotels, Ilorin by Prof. Samuel Ibiyemi.
According to Prof. Ibiyemi, ” the problems of our youths in maintaining our culture is enormous. Once, we neglect our culture, we neglect our Godliness. We need to come together to bring our youths back to our cultural past.”.
Prof. Ibiyemi who is the Chairman of Cultural and Societal Values for Development Initiatives stressed that there is need to engage our youths and make them pursue their ideas within the rural communities. There is therefore need for funds to develop our rural communities in order to stem rural-urban migration. When the youths are developed, communities benefit.
In his goodwill message, the Elegosi of Egosi in Oke-Ero Local Government Area of the State, Oba Samuel Dada on behalf of other royal fathers present and in absentia appealed to the NGO’s to always strive to bring development to the rural communities as earlier enunciated for the benefit of mankind as government alone cannot do all things.
While Rev. Gabriel Hide Olaoye urged the NGO to make its activities centre on communities interest as the participation in the seminar has shown diverse monarchs, community leaders as well as opinion moulders from the State.
He called for more seminar where National Officials of CONECDA would be present in Kwara.
In his lecture, Mr. Babatunde Slade, who is the secretary of Communities Development Associations registered with CONECDA in the State enumerated challenges of many communities in the State due to the long abandoned communal past in different endeavours.
He advocated the need to empower the womenfolk than others. This, he said was because of the enormous role played by women in home and nation building. He enjoined the NGO to explore areas like vocational training for them.
The Chairman of the Language Council of CONECDA in the State, Chief Sunday Oyebiyi appealed to linguist, cultural enthusiast to join the NGO in its quest to ensure that indigenous language in the State like Koko Bark, Batonou, Nupe and Yoruba does not go into extinction through promotion and development, saying language is the vehicle of development.
In another lecture at the event, the National President of Oodua Progressives Care Initiative, Alhaji (Dr.) Abdulsalam Olanrewaju Maruf called on all and sundry to be sensitive towards the security of their community. This is because, according to him, “there can be no development without security.”
For the umpteenth time, he argued that communities security could only be effective when our traditional monarchs are involved in the security architecture of their communities. This is because our monarchs knows when strange faces surfaces in their communities.
He called on governments at all levels to be more committed to security of lives and properties as it was in the olden times as opposed to now when insecsant kidnappings and robberies has become the order of the day.
He therefore called for an end to this malady that has made many investors flee our country leading to mass youth unemployment.
He solicited for the government protection of over 200 porous, unguided border routes being used by assailants to enter illegally into Nigeria and commit havoc on the people.

I stumbled on something the other day that I decided I'd try out- a grab bag buy. Right now they're 2 for 1 so for $45 (+free shipping), I took a chance... glad I did.
There's a full box of AC papers, 2 scrap kits (each has ~8 sheets paper, stickers, embellishments, etc.), rub-ons, Thickers, ribbon, 2 jars of AC chipboard shapes (forgot those in the photo) 60-70 sheets of double-sided DP (pretty much all Sassafrass & Lily Bee Designs and MANY with a decorative bottom edge), 10 sheets cardstock, 7 12x12 sheets of stickers, a few smaller ones, about 8 5x12 sheets of alpha cardstock stickers, some small "candy dot" embellishments (think the real candy dots- they look just the same), and a few other small things. While it's all a BIT girlier than I'd like, it's definitely worth it! Plenty to use and great quality!

Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of completing his illustrious return to Manchester United.
The Red Devils and Juventus reached an agreement on Friday.
Over the weekend, Ronaldo completed his medical and, according to a two-year, 80,480,000-a-week contract with personal conditions, the transfer will be confirmed before Tuesday night’s deadline.
But it is not yet clear what numbers the Portuguese superstar will wear at Old Trafford.
SunSport weighs in on some potential options …
Ronaldo became the No. 7 jersey after joining United for the first time in 2003.
He even uses CR7 for his branding and commercial product range, including aftershave and boxers.
But Edinson Cavani is already holding the famous jersey at Old Trafford – and came to the wolves wearing it on Sunday.
Prem Rules states that the No. 7 player at Old Trafford maintains the shirt throughout the season for which he is assigned.
Section M of the rulebook on player identification states: “Before the start of each season, each club will assign a different shirt number to each member of its first team squad.
A club will similarly assign a shirt number to any player who joins its first team squad during the season.
“When he stays with the club, a player will maintain his shirt number for the whole season for which he is assigned.
“A player’s shirt number can be re-assigned when he or she leaves the club.”
This means that if Ronaldo is to get this term number 7, United will have to apply for a special dispensation from the Premier League – which he has never done in his 29 years of existence.
Ronaldo can still wear No. 7 in the Champions League as United can set different numbers for European competitions.
Seemingly impossible with No7, No. 28 is another option.
Ronaldo was ranked No. 28 in one of his seasons at Sporting Lisbon Senior Side in 2002-03.
Another Uruguayan, Facundo Pellistri, is listed as United No. 28 on the Premier League website.
But with a winger out on loan at Elvis this season, it could pave the way for Ronaldo to return to his roots and potentially look like an option.
Ronaldo had to remove his famous No. 7 shirt in 2009 when he broke his own record at Real Madrid.
Los Blancos legend Raلl was still at the Bernabeu for another year, however, meaning Ronaldo had to sit tight before taking the No. 7 spot.
Like Cavani, though, Anthony Marshall already has No. 9 at Old Trafford – and if he were to change numbers, it wouldn’t be No. 9 at No. 7, even if he signed Ronaldo as center forward. Gone
This is a similar story for number 17.
Ronaldo entered the international arena at Euro 2004 when he helped Portugal reach the final.
But that number is currently held by midfielder Fred.
The slightly bullying option is to see Ronaldo go to No. 77.
It would be a bit random and the kind of numbers that most academy stars use to shoot in the first team.
But it will also stay with the No. 7 theme.
No. 52 or No. 61.
Again, considering the No. 7 theme, Ronaldo can choose No. 52 or No. 61 – increasing his magic number with numbers.
No. 16 is Emad Diallo, No. 25 is Judon Sancho, No. 34 is Donnie Van de Beck and No. 43 is Tedden Mengi. دوہ۔
Add a small plus sign in the middle and it’s going into full Ivan Zamorono mode.
He watched his great rival Lionel Messi leave Barcelona and took the No. 30 shirt at Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
But of course Cristiano wouldn’t copy it and take the same number, would he?
Well, number 30 is free – although like Ronaldo and number 28, Messi’s first number was number 30, so there is an emotional attachment to Argentina.
The rest is the best.
Old Trafford currently has the most numbers at 12 and 15, with Chris Smalling and Andreas Pereira vacating, respectively.
No. 24 was the last Timothy Fusso-Mensah, but Darren Fletcher had it for a long time.
Other numbers for grip are 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40 and above. Not entirely appealing for a five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

New Bedford is top fishing port
New Bedford is once again the nation's top commercial fishing port while the value of the catch continues to fall in Portland, Maine.
The National Marine Fisheries Service has released its annual report detailing the nation's fishing catch for 2009. New Bedford was tops in value of its catch, largely due to sea scallops, bringing in $249.2 million. Dutch Harbor-Unalaska, Alaska, was tops in terms of poundage, with 506.3 million pounds. In Maine, the value of the seafood brought to Portland dropped to $16.6 million, down from $22.6 million in 2008. The report says Stonington was Maine's top port, at $26.5 million. Portland was the No. 56 fishing port by value in 2009, down from 36th a year earlier. The port routinely ranked among the Top 10 in the 1990s.

Turnover in senior living is a problem.
From executive directors to sales team members, most operations struggle with communities that always seem to have a high churn rate.
To find a solution, you have to dig deep into the dynamics of your community talent.
And—for most operations—that means understanding a number of team members who are from the Millennial generation.
According to the Pew Research Center, Millennials will soon overtake the Baby Boomers as the largest generation in the US.
Not to mention that Millennials outnumbered Generation Xers and Baby Boomers in the workforce back in 2015.
This data underscores the fact that Millennials aren’t just an interesting generation that makes the headlines…if they aren’t already, they’ll be a big part of your workforce.
In this article, we’re revealing what the data has to say about Millennials, and—most importantly—how you can make a shift that reduces turnover for your organization.
Narratives about Millennials—Fiction or Fact?
“She responded just like a Millennial. They’re so privileged and demanding.”
“Of course he failed to close that tour—he’s a Millennial.”
“They won’t stick around long…they’re Millennials.”
If these sound familiar, you’ve probably swallowed a number of cultural narratives about Millennials…making you less optimistic about using them as an important part of your long-term growth plans.
As the Harvard Business Review says, “Conventional wisdom holds that Millennials are entitled, easily distracted, impatient, self-absorbed, lazy, and unlikely to stay in any job for long…”
When it comes to that last description, conventional wisdom seems backed by the truth. Consider a few of these headlines…
- “Millennials: The Job-Hopping Generation”
- “Here Are 7 Reasons Millennials Leave Companies”
- “Why Millennials Quit: Understanding a New Workforce [Report]”
- “Your Millennials Are Going to Quit and There’s Only One Thing You Can Do to Stop It”
It’s hard enough to leverage team members for top-line growth…it’s even harder when you’re pretty sure the people you’ve hired won’t be around long.
However, don’t assume that Millennials’ impact is simply more turnover for your senior living operation.
In fact, you need to think twice before you swallow this cultural narrative—and make decisions about growing your ROI without them.
A Nonfiction Narrative for Reducing Turnover in Your Senior Living Operation
When it comes to Millennials, consider multiple studies and perspectives before making key strategy decisions.
Here are some stats that defy what we’ve been told about Millennials…
- Forbes reports a 2017 Deloitte survey that reveals only 7% of Millennials plan to leave their current jobs soon versus 17% from the previous year. Forbes notes the Millennial demographic is making a shift toward maturity.
- IBM reports that fewer Millennials would leave their jobs to “make more money and work in a more creative, innovative environment” compared to Generation X, citing only 42% of Millennials would make a job switch versus 47% for Generation X.
- And neither of these stats should be a shock, given that Bentley University released the results of a survey back in 2014, stating “80% of Millennials believe they’ll stay with four or fewer companies for their entire career.”
These stats indicate Millennials may not pose the turnover threat you fear…and they could play a long-term role in helping your organization achieve the occupancy, revenue growth, and ROI it’s capable of.
So why the confusion?
The author of the Harvard Business Review article notes how—in his organization—younger employees have been, historically, more likely to leave. He goes on to warn…
Part of the reason is the proliferation of poor “research,” or overreaching and invalid conclusions based on otherwise valid facts. The most glaring examples of faulty research are “studies” of Millennials that lack comparisons to any control groups of other workers or young people of other generations.
The bottom line: If you think that senior living turnover is the defining characteristic of Millennial employees, it’s time to shift how you understand this demographic and their role in your occupancy growth.
The True Impact of Millennials
As a leader in senior housing, accurately understanding the dynamics of each demographic you hire is important for increasing profit margins.
After all, understanding your team—whether they’re Millennials or Baby Boomers—bridges the gap between hiring senior housing talent and leveraging their individual skills in your overarching strategy.
If you are suffering from turnover in your senior living operation, particularly from Millennials, here are two stats that may shed light on your problem…and how to fix it.
- Millennials lack connection. Gallup explains that less than half of Millennials (40%) “feel strongly connected to their company’s mission.”
- Millennials struggle with engagement. Gallup reports that “29% of employed millennials are engaged at work.”
In other words, Millennials may be leaving your operation not because they’re undependable, but because you haven’t fostered the right organizational culture.
This is important, and worth repeating: Millennials aren’t leaving because they’re unreliable. They are more than likely unsatisfied with your culture—or lack of it.
These stats are a wake-up call for senior living operations to make radical shifts as the dynamics of their talent (and resident population) undergo change.
Take a few moments to ask yourself…
Does my organization give promising talent “wings” by inspiring them with a mission…or does it weigh them down with the burden of poor leadership?
Do the Millennials in my communities clearly understand how to drive our operation’s growth, or are they disengaged due to poor training, poor support, and inefficiencies?
Does my organization overdeliver on its brand promise, or does it struggle to create inspiring, transformative experiences for residents?
Your starting place for avoiding turnover in senior living, empowering your Millennial employees, and driving occupancy?
The solution lies in the words of Lou Gerstner, Former Chairman of IBM…
“I came to see, in my time at IBM, that culture isn’t just one aspect of the game, it is the game.”
Culture isn’t just an organizational soft skill you consider every 5 years.
It’s your starting place for navigating the Millennial disrupter and harnessing their strengths to take your organization to the next level.
The choice is yours.
Resist change, and watch a poor culture stunt your growth.
Or embrace a sales-centered culture change, and watch Millennials and other talented team members fuel your occupancy.

OGDEN VALLEY — A boater rescued an apparently intoxicated swimmer at Pineview Reservoir Saturday evening.
Sgt. Nealy Adams with the Weber County Sheriff’s Office says the boater noticed a swimmer had disappeared underwater and wasn’t coming back up.
“The Good Samaritan came over and jumped in the water and pulled this kid back up. By the time he got him pulled back up, he was blue,” Nealy told KSL Newsradio.
Sgt. Nealy says that’s when the rescuer started to give the swimmer CPR.
“Rescue breaths and chest compressions. After a little bit of time, the male came to, coughing up the water.”
Although the swimmer was up and walking around after being revived, Sgt. Nealy says he was taken to a local hospital for observation. The names of the swimmer and his rescuer have not been released.

It’s a tough competition, I know. But I nominate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as the worst of the worst. This short clip from a press conference earlier today illustrates why. A reporter asks Walz about this post by Bill Walsh at AmericanExperiment.org. Bill went through Governor Walz’s budget proposal, which lists proposed staff increases for all state agencies. Bill tabulated proposed increases of 2,349 employees in this chart. It doesn’t include all state agencies, of which there are a vast number, so it is an undercount, but it hits the biggest ones:
So at today’s press conference, a reporter asked, “Governor, a conservative think tank said that your budget proposal would add more than 2,000 jobs to the state–2,000 more state workers. Does Minnesota need 2,000 more state workers?” Take it away, Tim Walz:
Walz first dismisses the reporter’s question because it was my organization (Minnesota’s only think tank, as Walz well knows) that counted up the new jobs. This is typical: Walz and his minions never respond to facts, they only try, ineffectively, to smear. But it gets worse.
Walz next says that the cost of government is the same in 2023 as it was in 2002. That claim is simply insane. The state’s general fund budget for the biennium 2002-2003 was $26,648,114,000. The current estimate for the 2022-2023 biennium is $51,766,275,000 and Walz’s budget proposal for the coming biennium is $65.2 billion. I have never seen a politician as shamelessly willing to assert things that are obviously untrue as Tim Walz. Maybe Joe Biden comes close.
Next, Walz says he doesn’t know how we could possibly come up with a jobs number when the House and Senate haven’t yet passed a budget. But Bill Walsh’s post and the reporter’s question referred specifically to Walz’s own budget proposal, which itemizes FTEs for every state agency. Is Walz unable to defend his own budget? Apparently so.
Finally, Walz disgorges a word salad. Most people think that Kamala Harris is queen of the word salad, but if so, Tim Walz is the king. Words come out of his mouth, but they don’t mean anything. And they certainly don’t respond to intelligent questions about his own policies.

Electronics: Every so often our inbox gets filled with some interesting questions from our readers. We get asked our opinions, our recommendations, and our general input on everything ranging from travel to fashion.
Question: What are some nice iPad covers, other than the ones at Apple?
Although itís not available yet, (any day now) it is easily the coolest looking case/laptop converter I have come across. Not only is it sleek, but it protects the iPad and offers the convenience of turning it into a portable laptop. Hopefully it will be released soon and itís as cool as the pictures make it out to be.
Graphic Image is my go-to place when I need agendas and day planners. Their options for color and leathers is better than any other I have seen, and the options are just as robust for the iPad case. Metallic is my favorite, and don't forget you can get your initials embossed on the case.
FYI: their products are carried at Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and Henri Bendel.
This case is handmade from vegetable tanned leather to give it a fabulous weathered vintage look. Not only stylish, this case is tough and durable.
Masked in their trademark quilted leather, this is the perfect cover for the fashion conscious and the luxury lover.
Smythson products have all the elements that us editors here at JustLuxe lust over: rich history, elegant styles, vibrant colors and clever design, which is why their iPad cases are one of our favorites. With over 100 years of experience in refined craftsmanship, Smythson is able to bring classic elegance to modern technology. The finish and quality is superb and the various color options are rich and dramatic. A little pricey but definitely worth it.

Understanding Pickleball Rules: The Logic Behind the Game
Have you ever pondered the reasoning behind the rules that govern the game? This article aims to dissect the rationale behind pickleball’s rules, particularly how understanding pickleball rules contribute to a balanced and equitable match. Ever wondered why a doubles pickleball match commences with 0-0-2 or zero, zero, start? Let’s delve into that.
Understanding the Serving Rules: Ensuring a Balanced Start
In doubles pickleball, the match starts with a peculiar score of 0-0-2. This rule is not arbitrary but is designed to maintain fairness from the get-go. By allowing one team to begin with the serve, it designates that player 1 on team A has the first serve until side out. Then, team B gets two opportunities to serve, and then it’s back to team A. This system splits the first four serves evenly between the two teams, preventing any team from starting with the advantage of serving twice in a row.
Understanding the Two-Bounce Rule: Leveling the Playing Field
Another rule that promotes fairness in pickleball is the two-bounce rule. This pickleball rule states that each team must let the ball bounce once on their side of the court before volleys are allowed. This rule prevents aggressive, fast-paced volley exchanges right off the serve, which could potentially give an unfair advantage to more experienced or skilled players. By requiring two bounces, the game slows down, allowing both teams an equal opportunity to set up their strategies.
Understanding the No Volley Zone: Promoting Strategic Play
The no volley zone, also known as the kitchen, is a seven-foot area on both sides of the net where players cannot volley the ball. This rule prevents players from executing smashes right at the net, a strategy that could easily dominate the game if left unchecked. By establishing the no volley zone, pickleball rules encourage players to use strategic positioning and shot placement, rather than brute force, to win points.
Additional Pickleball Rules for Fairness
Several other rules in pickleball help maintain fairness and balance in the game. Understanding these rules, among others, ensure that pickleball is a game of skill, strategy, and fairness, rather than a game dominated by any unfair advantages.
Faults in pickleball serve as a check and balance to ensure fair play. For instance, if a player serves before the referee completes the score announcement, it’s considered a fault. This rule ensures that both teams are ready and aware before the serve, maintaining fairness.
The double hit rule states that a player or team cannot hit the ball twice in succession. This rule prevents a player or team from gaining an unfair advantage by hitting the ball twice before it goes over the net.
Service Court Errors
The server must serve diagonally, targeting the opponent’s service court. If the server misses the service court, it’s a fault. This rule ensures that the server doesn’t gain an unfair advantage by serving straight to the opponent or serving to the wrong court.
In pickleball, a ball is considered in if any part of it touches the line. This rule ensures that close line calls are fair and consistent.
In a match that is more than one game, teams switch sides at the end of each game and at the midpoint of the deciding game (if there is one). This rule ensures that no team has a consistent advantage due to external factors like sun, wind, etc.
Non-Volley Zone Violations
A player cannot step into the non-volley zone and hit a volley. This rule prevents players from gaining an unfair advantage by smashing the ball close to the net.
In doubles pickleball, there’s a specific order of service. The player on the right side (even side) of the court serves first and continues to serve as long as their team scores points. When their team commits a fault, the serve passes to the other team. This rule doesn’t ensure that a single player can’t dominate the game with their serve, but it limits the possibility.
Understanding the Server Switch Rule: Ensuring Equal Opportunity
In doubles pickleball, there’s an important rule that further ensures fairness in the game – the server switch rule. After winning a point, the server switches sides to serve to the other opponent on the opposite team. This rule prevents the same player from being served to over and over again, which could potentially give an unfair advantage to one team. By requiring the server to switch sides after winning a point, the game ensures that both opponents on the receiving team have equal opportunities to play and contribute to the game.
Receiving Team Positions
The player on the right side of the receiving team must be the first to return the serve. This rule ensures that the same player on the receiving team doesn’t always get to return the serve, which could potentially give that team an unfair advantage.
The ball is declared dead when a fault is committed by the serving team. The serve then passes to the next server or the other team. This rule ensures that a team cannot continue to play and potentially score after committing a fault.
Serving Out of Turn
If a player serves out of turn, a fault will be declared. This rule ensures that players serve in the correct order, maintaining the balance of the game.
The rule prohibits players from intentionally distracting their opponents. This regulation guarantees that skill and strategy, not unsportsmanlike conduct, win the game.
Pickleball has specific regulations for paddles and balls to ensure that no player or team has an equipment-based advantage.
These rules, and the ones we previously mentioned, maintain a level playing field in pickleball. They ensure that skill, strategy, and teamwork, not unfair advantages, determine the game’s outcome.
Understanding Fairness: The Core of Pickleball Rules
In conclusion, the essence of understanding pickleball rules is to promote fairness and balance in the game. The design of each rule, whether about serving, volleying, scoring, or equipment, aims to create a level playing field. This guarantees that skill, strategy, and teamwork, not any unfair advantages, determine the game’s outcome.
Every aspect of the game, from the unique serving rules to the two-bounce rule, the non-volley zone, and the specific order of service, is carefully calibrated to uphold fairness. Even the rules about faults, line calls, and equipment regulations are in place to prevent any team or player from gaining an undue advantage.
By understanding these rules and the reasons behind them, players can better appreciate the game of pickleball. It’s not just about winning or losing, but about playing a fair and enjoyable game. So, the next time you step onto the pickleball court, remember that every rule is there to ensure a fair, balanced, and fun game for all.

5. The museum of Vietnamese traditional medicine (Ho Chi Minh City)
This very first museum of traditional medicine in Vietnam has been skillfully crafted with stunning interiors made from wood. The core collection of the museum contains over 3,000 varieties of traditional Vietnamese medicines dating back to the Stone Ages. The collection also includes different tools that were used in the preparation of these medicines such as knives, grinders, mortars and pestles as well as an assortment of pots and jars. Some of these 2,500 year old knives, grinders, mortars and pestles used at that time for preparing the medicinal concoctions were brought from the homes of two of the founders of Vietnamese traditional medicine, Tue Tinh and Hai Thuong Lan Ong – Le Huu Trac. Visitors can move around the museum and experience a personal demonstration of the use of a grinding pot, watch a documentary about the history of Vietnamese traditional medicine or taste a cup of linh chi tea before leaving the museum. After the tour, visitors can even have a consultation with experienced oriental doctors.
6. Ao dai museum (Ho Chi Minh City)
Located in a garden house which boasts old wooden architecture with the southern landscape of rice fields, bamboo bridges, lotus ponds and rivers, Ao dai museum is owned by Vietnamese famous fashion designer Nguyen Sy Hoang. The museum showcases Ao dai (a traditional Vietnam dress) of different periods in the 17th and the 18th centuries, and more than 60 Ao dai owned by the Nguyen (1802-1945) kings and royal families, and dresses belonging to People’s Armed Forces Heroine Nguyen Thi Dinh, former Vice President Nguyen Thi Binh, former diplomat Ton Nu Thi Ninh and People’s Artists Tra Giang and Bach Tuyet. Stories about these Ao dai and their owners are also featured. It also displays Si Hoang’s collections which won important prizes at international contests and more than 3,000 photos of the tunic. The museum also offers exhibitions of music, literature, cinema and art, which were inspired by the traditional costume.
7. Coi Nguon museum (Phu Quoc Island)
Located on a small hill on Tran Hung Dao Street in Duong Dong Town, Phu Quoc Island, the museum was established in 2009 by Huynh Phuoc Hue who has spent over 15 years collecting thousands of antiques and artifacts. Coi Nguon Museum is expected to bring an overview of the island to its visitors with a five-floor building in an area of over 1.5 hectares. There are 2,645 antiques made from stone, pottery, bronze and fossil wood dated from the 15th century to the early 20th century and 540 artifacts consisting of furniture, artworks and fishing tool and household appliances. There are also around 100 traditional paintings.

OPINION NO. 93-14 CRIMINAL LAW; FIREARMS; WEAPONS: The language of NRS
205.350 would be narrowly construed to include only those concealed weapons which are actually
on the person or in a container carried by the person.
Carson City, June 21, 1993
Mr. Ben Graham, Deputy District Attorney, Clark County District, Attorney's Office, 200 S. Third
Street - Seventh Floor, Las Vegas, Nevada 89155
Dear Mr. Graham:
This is in response to your opinion request regarding construction of Nevada's concealed
What constitutes carrying a concealed weapon?
NRS 202.350 states in part:
1. It is unlawful for any person within this state to:
(b) Carry concealed upon his person any:
(1) Explosive substance, other than ammunition or any components thereof;
(2) Dirk, dagger or dangerous knife;
(3) Pistol, revolver or other firearm, or other dangerous or deadly weapon; or
(4) Knife which is made an integral part of a belt buckle.
The language of your opinion request suggests that your main inquiry deals with the proximity of the weapon to the person. Your letter states: A weapon carried on the person is obvious. The question gets more complicated with a weapon in a purse, briefcase, carry-on luggage and such when it is in fact carried by an individual. Place those containers on the floor next to the person. Put the same container in the passenger portion of a vehicle, the weapon in the glove box, console, under the seat? Your letter refers to several different scenarios and situations regarding the proximity of the weapon under which application of NRS 205.350 might be urged.
Our research has not revealed any case in which the Nevada Supreme Court has interpreted the precise language of NRS 202.350. However, as noted below, that language would have to be strictly construed. If the legislature's desire is to expand the statute to cover circumstances where a concealed weapon is immediately accessible, the language, such as "concealed on or about his person" would be required.
Penal statutes are subject to strict construction, Sheriff v. Smith, 91 Nev. 729, 542 P.2d 440 (1975), and "a statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application, violates the first essential of due process." Sheriff v. Luqman, 101 Nev. 149, 155, 697 P.2d 107 (1985) (quoting Connally v. General Constr. Co., 269 U.S. 385, 391 (1926)). See Bradvica v. State, 104 Nev. 475, 477, 760 P.2d 139 (1988).
Thus a narrow interpretation of the applicable language of NRS 205.350 is appropriate. People v. Pugach, 204 N.E.2d 176 (N.Y. Ct. App. 1964). A gun discovered in a briefcase being carried by a defendant was "concealed upon the person" and was within a statute proscribing carrying weapons concealed upon the person. A hand gun concealed in a suitcase and carried by a man is sufficiently "upon his person" to constitute a violation under a statute making it a misdemeanor to carry a concealed weapon on the person. People v. Dunn, 132 Cal. Rptr. 921, 922 (Cal. Ct. App. 1976). The phrase "upon the person" means that an article is either in contact with a person, or is carried in the clothing. Commonwealth v. Linzetti, 97 Pa. Super. 126 (1929). The word "upon" signifies close contact. A loaded revolver underneath a cushion in the rear seat of an automobile on which the defendant was sitting was not "upon the person," so defendant's conduct was not within the meaning of an act prohibiting carrying a deadly weapon concealed "upon the person." Id. Thus the phrases "concealed upon person," "upon his person," and "upon the person" have been interpreted to include weapons that are in contact with the individual or are being carried within a container by an individual.
On the other hand, language such as "concealed on or about person" or "concealed on or about his person" has been interpreted to extend the proximity of the weapon necessary to constitute a violation of the statute. In State v. Scanlan, 273 S.W. 1062 (Mo. 1925), where the indictment
charged the defendant with carrying a weapon concealed about his person, the jury was permitted to find him guilty if he carried the deadly weapon concealed upon his person since the word "about" includes everything included in the word "upon" and may, in addition, include much more.
The words "on or about the person" have been applied to weapons concealed in such proximity to the person so as to be convenient to access and within immediate physical reach. Hampton v. Commonwealth, 78 S.W.2d. 748, 749 (Ky. 1934). See also Prello v. State, 168 N.E. 135, 137 (Oh.
1929); Collier v. Commonwealth Ky., 453 S.W.2d 600, 601 (Ky. 1970). A loaded pistol locked in a glove compartment of an automobile which the defendant owned and was driving was "concealed on or about the person" of the defendant as defined by a concealed weapon statute. State v. Goodwin, 169 N.W.2d 270, 273 (Neb. 1969). It does not appear that the word "about" is always interchangeable with "on." See W. M. Moldoff, Annotation, Offense of Carrying a Concealed
Weapon as Effected by Manner of Carrying or Place of Concealment, 43 A.L.R.2d 492, Â§ 4(d)(1955).
To violate a statute prohibiting carrying firearms "concealed on or about the person," the weapon must be actually concealed on the person or in such close proximity that it can be readily used as though on the person, without appreciable change in his position. See People v. Liss, 94 N.E.2d 320, 322-23 (Ill. 1950).
Obviously, each factual situation will be different and may be interpreted differently according to language used in the statute. It seems relatively clear that the use of the words "on or about his person" extends the area from which the defendant could obtain the weapon. However, this language has limitations as well. In one case, the evidence showed that the defendant was riding in a wagon in which there were two other persons. A quarrel arose between the defendant and one of the others. The defendant took a pistol from a satchel under the seat. These facts were not
sufficient to warrant a conviction of carrying a pistol "concealed on or about his person." Commonwealth v. Sturgeon, 37 S.W. 680 (Ky. 1896). There was no evidence as to whom the satchel belonged. There was no evidence as to who placed it in the wagon, or to whom the wagon belonged. Id. Obviously, various other factors need to be considered in determining whether a concealed weapon is "about" a person. However, that inquiry is beyond the scope of this opinion.
It is our opinion that the language of NRS 202.350 would be narrowly construed to include
only those concealed weapons which are actually on the person or in a container carried by the

VIDEO: Fighting Sioux Fight Starts Debate on Fox News Channel(WDAZ-TV) - The long-running conflict over the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo has made its way to a nationally broadcast cable news channel.
By: Rick Abbott, WDAZ
(WDAZ-TV) - The long-running conflict over the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo has made its way to a nationally broadcast cable news channel.
On the Happening Now show on Fox News Channel this Friday, the nickname stirred a debate on whether the University of North Dakota should be able to keep it.
Lis Wiehl, a Fox News legal analyst, took the position of keeping the nickname. "We're not talking about the wimpy or the loser Sioux, we're talking about the Fighting Sioux, like the Fighting Irish. You going to take that away too?" Wiehl said.
UND was required to get approval for use of the nickname by North Dakota's two Sioux tribes but only got the green light from one.
Defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh took the other side of the debate, saying "(the NCAA) has asked North Dakota to take (the nickname) away and if they don't, their penalties, I think, are appropriate."
In March last year, the North Dakota Legislature passed a law that required UND to use the logo and nickname, despite the NCAA's threat of sanctions.
That nickname bill was repealed, but a successful statewide petition effort made it effective again.

Click here to see a video tutorial of the above steps.FURTHER ASSISTANCEIf you need further assistance with changing passwords, technical bulletins, or related downloads, please contact Hikvision USA Technical Support at 909-612-9039 (phone) or firstname.lastname@example.org (email). For Hikvision Canada Technical Support, call 855-655-9888.
Following the recent security notification regarding a command injection vulnerability in the web server of some Hikvision products, we have developed patches to fix the issue. You can download the fixed firmware of the affected versions here:
For this procedure, you need (1) the latest firmware for your recorder, (2) a formatted and empty USB flash drive, (3) access to a computer with internet connection, and (4) a valid email address.
Step 1. To upgrade your recorder to the latest firmware, call our Technical Support at 1-888-425-6739 and request for your recorder's latest firmware. When calling, make sure you have your recorder's the correct model number and a valid email address at hand. We will send the firmware download link via email. NOTE: The download link will expire in a specified period of time.
Step 4. Verify that you have the correct firmware, then remove the USB flash drive from your computer, and insert it back into one of the USB ports on your recorder.
To understand why we update the firmware understand why we update the android version of our mobile. Obviously, To get more features. In a similar way, we want to get more new features into all devices so we will update the firmware of the device. instead of this, sometimes we found the device is not working properly due to some error firmware or sometimes firmware has crashed so in that case also we have to update the firmware of the device.
Download the setup file of Batch Tool using the given link in the download section. Install it on your local computer. Now connect your device to the computer. (In case, You do not know How to connect DVR to computer).
My "BEST GUESS" is that the way the new "no default firmware are coded is for the first logon to the NVR is the default password and its immediately removed for use after you login to it for the first time (like a Samsung camera).
Had this exact same issue today. Hikvision said that the firmware I used was a baseline firmware and not for North American NVR's. They recommended that I follow there firmware flush procedure and downgrade the firmware. It blows my mind that this could happen. They need to work on the firmware upgrade process to prevent issues like this from happening as it causes a huge waste of time on the integrators end and hikvisions tech support end. Most other products would never let you upload an incorrect firmware to a product.
I've had the same issue and it bricked the device, TFTP upload of firmware wouldnt work because is asked for the wrong file (some Avigilon camera driver rather than the .dav file) - at least half my attempts at upgrading Hikvision firmware end up in disaster, their whole firmware process needs an overhaul, so many versions, you have to do them sequentially and you still dont know if its going to actually work.. Issues like you had are common but should not be like that. I avoid updating Hikvision firmware at all costs, but then new cameras wont work unless you do and its a security/performance issue if you do not. Its horrible
I've seen this issue at least a dozen times over the past few years. It's one of the only firmware issues that may brick your NVR/DVR. Everything else has a firmware check that tells you if the file mismatches/upgrade failed.
I've heard HIK say that cameras with non-North America firmware will behave poorly because that's there mechanism to stop illicit vendors from selling imports. Now giving you a gibberish user list doesn't sound reasonable, and by the way that awful importing vendor they referenced was Amazon.
The tool also provides some advanced facilities to extract the contents from the main body of a firmware upgrade file for inspection or further development. The tool can also re-package the updated changed or added contents into a new firmware update file that can be applied to the IP camera or NVR as a normal upgrade.
The steps are straightforward, but do need some care to be taken, and require an understanding that although the tool is reliable and has been tested, it may not take account of future changes such as the firmware update file structure being re-engineered, or new checksums being incorporated.
- Have available a Windows PC, with the Hikvision Support Tools package available, which mainly consists of a TFTP server and the instructions on how this can be used to recover a failed firmware update on an NVR or IP camera.

Malibu Wild is about getting lost in yourself; it’s about being in the moment. It’s about having the feeling of freedom while feeling everything.
Easy is the first song in a new era for Malibu Wild. Taking inspirations from LANY and KYGO, it’s a song about getting past rejection and moving forward. A song about realizing how Easily things can fall apart.


Greatship Rohini is a DP-Class II ROV Support Vessel (ROVSV), capable of supporting offshore exploration and production operations. Its construction started in July 2009 and delivery took place in December 2010. The vessel has been built in accordance with Lloyd’s Environmental Protection & Crew Comfort notations and in compliance with the new SPS Code 2008. The SPS Code prescribes safety guidelines to be used in the design of special purpose ships (SPS).
Greatship Rohini is the third in a series of four vessels built by Colombo Dockyard, Sri Lanka for Greatship (India) Limited (GIL), a subsidiary of The Great Eastern Shipping Company of Singapore. Greatship Rekha, Greatship Ramya and Greatship Rashi are the other three vessels in the series.
The construction of Greatship Rohini required an investment of about $26m. The vessel has been chartered to a Brazilian oil company Petrobras for deployment in exploration activities.
Greatship Rohini design
The vessel is of R Class design which was developed by Singapore-based Sea Tech Solutions International. Apart from performing regular functions of a platform supply vessel (PSV), the R Class vessels can also be used for conducting inspection, geophysical and geotechnical, and maintenance and repair services.
The vessels are designed for a 50t crane or A Frame and are fitted out to support two work class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). The lower level and deck head windows are fitted to ensure clear view to the aft deck and aft overhead. The sewage treatment plant integrated on the ship can serve 50 persons.
Overall length of the vessel is 78m. Length between perpendiculars is 78m, while moulded breadth is 17m. Moulded depth is 8m and maximum loaded draft is 6.30m.
Deadweight of the vessel at 6.3m draft is 3,700t. Net tonnage and gross tonnage are approximately 967 and 3,226t respectively. The vessel has a deck area of 725m² and its deck strength of 5t/m², enabling it to hold 1,200t of cargo.
Dry bulk can be discharged at the rate of 2 x 25m³/min at 5.6bar, fresh water at 2 x 100m³/hr at 9bar, ballast / drill water at 2 x 100m³/hr at 9bar, liquid mud / brine at 3 x 75m³/hr at 9bar, base oil at 1 x 90m³/hr at 9bar, fuel oil at 2 x 100m³/hr at 9bar and methanol at 2 x 75m³/hr at 9bar.
With its auxiliary launch and recovery systems (LARS), the ROV will help to perform various operations such as extraction of hydrocarbon samples, inspection of pipe lines and well-head, and repairs and modifications of sub-sea structures.
A total of 50 fully air conditioned berths are available for accommodation in six one-man cabins and 22 two-man cabins. Two hospital beds and two separate offices are available for charters and ROV.
The vessel has two main engines. Each of these is capable of generating 2,320kW. Propulsion is attained by two controllable pitch propellers (CPP). Of the total five auxiliary engines, two are shaft generators capable of generating 1,600kW each, two are diesel generators capable of generating 460kW each, and one is a 90kW emergency generator. The auxiliary engines have a three phase supply system with 400V.

October 26 is intersex awareness day. What is intersex? Here is the medical definition of being intersex. What is the legal definition of intersex? Regardless of our race, color, birth, gender, caste, religion, sexual orientation, we all have to deal with the laws. Depending on each person’s circumstances, to provide a “complete life”, one needs to understand all definitions pertaining to them. Sometimes lack of laws destroys lives like no other crimes can. As a society, we have a history with social justice issues like gay rights, interracial marriage rights, civil rights, women rights, and so on. Do intersex families have rights? If intersex causes infertility and an intersex family opts for IVF to have children, do IVF families have rights? Do IVF children have rights and deserve compassion also? While October 26 is about intersex awareness day, let us make it complete and also include the issues facing an intersex family which is reproductive rights and IVF children rights and immigration rights. Unless, we as a society think that intersex people do not deserve an equal opportunity to have a family with a spouse and children? Or we as a society think that a person who dares to have a family with an intersex person has committed such a grievous crime that not only he but also his innocent IVF children should be punished by splitting them? With gay rights movement on the upswing, will there be basic human rights if not equal rights for intersex families with IVF children? With the turn of the 20th century, there is lot of continued animosity against an immigrant, IVF father and a spouse of intersex resulting in a thousand lies, defamation and stereotyping. Our motivation is to save IVF children and get basic rights if not equal for IVF children and families of today who may also become IVF parents of tomorrow, whats your motivation for the continued animosity, secrecy and abuse? Like water, truth always finds a way – education and awareness is the right path while secrecy and lies creates only more victims including innocent children – IVF or intersex.
LGBT refers to more of a sexual orientation of a person and should be respected. As per IGLHRC, they added the “I” for intersex in LGBTI to include their human rights also although intersex is not a direct reference to sexual orientation. For most people, due to lack of awareness, they may not discern the difference between “sex” and “gender” at first shot. I was like that. It takes a few discussions and some interest in understanding the difference between “sex” and “gender”. It is ironic that laws do not make the same distinction and as a result there are more inadvertent victims. Asian countries like India, Nepal, Pakistan have long recognized the “third gender” legally and moved away from the colonial British definition of “binary gender”. While human rights may not be great in these countries overall, the fact that they give an opportunity to the “third gender” to be honest and live truthfully is liberating. Maybe in this one area, the west can learn something from the east. Australia started offering the “third gender” as a legal option in 2011 followed by New Zealand. In 2013, Germany will become the first country in Europe to offer the “third gender” as a legal option. Progressive countries like US, UK, Canada and so on are waiting but it is inevitable just like “same-sex” marriage rights eventually have to be granted.
Two things – if intersex people are either men or women, then why a legal “third gender”? Are governments like India, Nepal, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and so on who make laws wrong or are they doing the right thing? By recognizing the “third gender” legally, is the next logical step to address other issues that specifically impacts intersex families who have lived in secrecy and in lies for years and the issues have never been addressed? A spouse of a gay person is also gay, a spouse of a lesbian person is also lesbian meaning the laws or “lack of laws” impact both individuals the same way. Do the lack of laws for intersex marriages also affect both individuals in an intersex marriage the same way? If an intersex person wants to recognize themselves as a “male”, or a “female” or a “third gender”, it is their choice. However, having no laws for addressing the specific issues of “third gender” is victimizing people. If there are laws for “male”, “female”, then why not equal laws for “third gender”? Do a spouse of intersex and children of an intersex marriage deserve equal rights? Or are their crimes so heinous in supporting an intersex person that they should be ostracized and silenced? Ironically, thats been the traditional way to deal with intersex for centuries and only now in the 21st century, we have truth and transparency. Do the spouse of intersex and children of an intersex marriage have to wait a few more centuries and be victimized before getting basic human rights, if not equal?
A spouse of intersex is not gay but from a legal perspective is treated as “gay” and the anti-gay laws are applicable to a spouse of intersex and his children. We look forward to a time when we will have equal rights for IVF children and families, equal intersex rights, and equal caregiver rights. More importantly, every human will be allowed to live with the truth and freely instead of in secrecy and lies – it is every individual’s basic human right (if not equal) regardless of their religion, race, color, caste, sexual orientation, gender, birth type (natural or IVF) – or is it?

The concluding issue of Prisoner of Bogan continues the extraordinary level of storytelling and artwork we’ve come to expect from the Dawn of the Jedi series. Set tens of thousands of years before the events of the movies we all know and love, the series is essentially pre-history for the Star Wars galaxy, referencing many elements from all areas of the Expanded Universe, conspicuously the Rakatan Empire from Knights Of The Old Republic.
The precursors of the Jedi, known as the Je’daii, are at a turning point of their times past and existence. For millennia they have striven to keep balance between the Light Side of the Force and the Dark Side of the Force. But an outsider alien rich in the power of the Dark Side, a Force Hound bound to the Rakatan known as Xesh, crash lands on the Je’daii home planet of Tython, forcing everything into imbalance.

The Marianas Tourism Education Council, MTEC, is gearing up for another year of student presentations at public and private schools on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota about the Northern Mariana Islands’ primary industry, tourism.
For the fourth consecutive year, MTEC will visit elementary, junior and senior high schools to keep students educated and engaged in the tourism industry. This year, MTEC will be joined by employees in the industry to share their experiences with the students about careers in tourism.
“Each year we present, we’ve seen a steady growth in students’ understanding about the industry, how it benefits them, and how they can help support it,” said MTEC chair Vicky Benavente. “At this stage, we want to fan the flames and get them thinking of working in the industry after graduation or higher education. These young people are our future servers, housekeepers, chefs, front desk clerks, engineers, and executives. We want to let them know what opportunities they can take advantage of when they enter the workforce.”
To further engage students and the general public, this month MTEC launched its Facebook page and invites members of the community to “like” Marianas Tourism Education Council.
In other news from the council, the 4th Annual Docomo Pacific Golf Classic on Aug. 31, 2013, will donate a portion of its proceeds to MTEC again this year. Also, the annual MTEC/MY WAVE (Marianas Youth Welcome All Students Enthusiastically) Tourism Summit is slated for Oct. 30, 2013.
Schools interested in availing of the MY WAVE Club start-up seed fund, financial support through MTEC-sanctioned events, or the Advisor Incentive Program may contact Marianas Visitors Authority Community Projects manager Martin Duenas at firstname.lastname@example.org or 663-3321 for more information.

I've been a longtime reader of Andrea's blog, and her recipes have been a gateway to introducing a larger variety of veggies into my diet. When she announced her book, I was excited to pre-order it - both to support a hard-working farmer and have a more veggie-centric cookbook. Dividing the recipes into seasons was a good idea, and makes it easy to navigate based on what's available. She includes several, very versatile sauces and new (to me) ways to prepare vegetables that are useful for someone like me who wants more interesting things to do with them besides roasting or sauteeing. It's especially helpful for someone who struggles with side dishes and gets stuck in a roasted-broccoli rut (also me). The story woven into the book about her farm life with Taylor makes me thankful that people like her exist and do enjoy working the land to make our food. Overall, it's a great cookbook for using seasonal ingredients in simple ways and learning more about the life of your local farmer.
*** EDIT July 2017: The pages have become detached from the binding after just a few months of use. Disappointing.
Great job Andrea you have a new fan.
