Naturally, the float method is difficult to carry out in an economically depressed period. Bear markets do cause insurers to shift away from investments and to toughen up their underwriting standards, so a poor economy generally means high insurance premiums. This tendency to swing between profitable and unprofitable periods over time is commonly known as the underwriting, or insurance, cycle.
DRIVE Insurance policyholders can access their accounts online 24/7. The company website allows customers to easily manage their policy, make payments, file claims and more. Because the companies are so closely tied, DRIVE Insurance customer claims are rerouted to the Progressive Direct website. Customers can also receive assistance through a DRIVE Insurance agent or by calling the company’s customer service number.
When insured parties experience a loss for a specified peril, the coverage entitles the policyholder to make a claim against the insurer for the covered amount of loss as specified by the policy. The fee paid by the insured to the insurer for assuming the risk is called the premium. Insurance premiums from many insureds are used to fund accounts reserved for later payment of claims – in theory for a relatively few claimants – and for overhead costs. So long as an insurer maintains adequate funds set aside for anticipated losses (called reserves), the remaining margin is an insurer's profit.
In the United States, economists and consumer advocates generally consider insurance to be worthwhile for low-probability, catastrophic losses, but not for high-probability, small losses. Because of this, consumers are advised to select high deductibles and to not insure losses which would not cause a disruption in their life. However, consumers have shown a tendency to prefer low deductibles and to prefer to insure relatively high-probability, small losses over low-probability, perhaps due to not understanding or ignoring the low-probability risk. This is associated with reduced purchasing of insurance against low-probability losses, and may result in increased inefficiencies from moral hazard.
Many insurance executives are opposed to patenting insurance products because it creates a new risk for them. The Hartford insurance company, for example, recently had to pay $80 million to an independent inventor, Bancorp Services, in order to settle a patent infringement and theft of trade secret lawsuit for a type of corporate owned life insurance product invented and patented by Bancorp.
Insurance may also be purchased through an agent. A tied agent, working exclusively with one insurer, represents the insurance company from whom the policyholder buys (while a free agent sells policies of various insurance companies). Just as there is a potential conflict of interest with a broker, an agent has a different type of conflict. Because agents work directly for the insurance company, if there is a claim the agent may advise the client to the benefit of the insurance company. Agents generally cannot offer as broad a range of selection compared to an insurance broker.
Insurance can influence the probability of losses through moral hazard, insurance fraud, and preventive steps by the insurance company. Insurance scholars have typically used moral hazard to refer to the increased loss due to unintentional carelessness and insurance fraud to refer to increased risk due to intentional carelessness or indifference. Insurers attempt to address carelessness through inspections, policy provisions requiring certain types of maintenance, and possible discounts for loss mitigation efforts. While in theory insurers could encourage investment in loss reduction, some commentators have argued that in practice insurers had historically not aggressively pursued loss control measures—particularly to prevent disaster losses such as hurricanes—because of concerns over rate reductions and legal battles. However, since about 1996 insurers have begun to take a more active role in loss mitigation, such as through building codes.
Marine insurance and marine cargo insurance cover the loss or damage of vessels at sea or on inland waterways, and of cargo in transit, regardless of the method of transit. When the owner of the cargo and the carrier are separate corporations, marine cargo insurance typically compensates the owner of cargo for losses sustained from fire, shipwreck, etc., but excludes losses that can be recovered from the carrier or the carrier's insurance. Many marine insurance underwriters will include "time element" coverage in such policies, which extends the indemnity to cover loss of profit and other business expenses attributable to the delay caused by a covered loss.
Please note that this website provides only a summary of auto insurance, written to illustrate in general terms how auto insurance works. Your insurance policy is the legal contract that contains the terms and limitations of your coverage. You should carefully review the contents of your policy. All products and coverages are subject to availability and limitations. Whether an accident or other loss is covered is subject to the terms and conditions of your insurance policy.
Yes, we offer a discount to customers who pay in full in most states. Where applicable, discounts are offered to customers who pay their auto insurance policies in full for both 12-month and 6-month policies. In addition, some states offer discounts when choosing to pay quarterly. No matter what you decide, you can have faith you’re getting cheap car insurance that’s worry-free.
Annuities provide a stream of payments and are generally classified as insurance because they are issued by insurance companies, are regulated as insurance, and require the same kinds of actuarial and investment management expertise that life insurance requires. Annuities and pensions that pay a benefit for life are sometimes regarded as insurance against the possibility that a retiree will outlive his or her financial resources. In that sense, they are the complement of life insurance and, from an underwriting perspective, are the mirror image of life insurance.
Nationwide's insurance professionals can quickly design a car insurance quote that meets your precise needs, even for those on a budget. Rather than going with the cheapest car insurance quote, make sure the company you choose provides flexible coverage and billing options. For instance, Nationwide allows members to pay monthly, quarterly or semi-annually online, through the mail or over the phone. It’s important to keep long-term flexibility in mind when deciding on an insurance carrier, not just go with the cheapest car insurance option.

Dr Khalid Jamil
( Retired) Assistant Prof. Sheikh Zayed Institute Lahore
Dr Khalid Jamil was an Assistant Professor Urology at Sheikh Zayed Health Center and Kidney Transplant Center, Lahore. In 2003, he was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and High Blood Pressure and was prescribed oral medications, workout & diet plan control. In 2016, he was put on insulin due to increase in urea creatinine and retinopathy. The deteriorating health led Dr. Khalid on a quest to find answers. He started intensively studying Type 2 Diabetes, its' prevention and treatment. He spoke with physicians however none had the ability to give answers to his concerns. Then lastly, he came across a YouTube video of Dr. Jason Fung, that video showed to be a life changing moment in Dr. Khalid's life. Dr. Jason Fung is a Canadian nephrologist who declared 100% cure and reversal of Diabetes through periodic fasting and some lifestyle modifications.
A doctor himself, Dr. Khalid thoroughly studied Jason Fung's theories. Now, considering that 2018, he is on a ketogenic diet and doing periodic fasting with walk and exercise. He is off the medicines now and his creatinine levels are likewise back to typical.
Dr. Khalid is no longer practicing Urology and has rather made it his mission to inform people on social media about what he has actually learned & practiced so that they are also able to cure 80-90% of all diseases brought on by Insulin Resistance.
Dr. Khalid is beginning weekly lectures on Facebook & Youtube on curing Kidney Issues, Diabetes and Blood Pressure through Ketogenic Diet plan and periodic fasting.

Years after planning a diverse senior housing community, the first Foster Square residents are moving into a sprawling 15-acre site that was once the last city-owned piece of undeveloped land.
New buildings continue to rise from the site adjacent to Foster City Hall, as developers chip away at their portions of the project that will house hundreds of seniors in the Bayfront community.
Once complete, the entire site will host 155 assisted living units constructed by Atria Senior Living, 66 affordable housing apartments produced by MidPen Housing, 200 for-sale condominiums built by Lennar, as well as nearly 35,000 square feet of retail and commercial space. The New Home Company bought the site from city officials in 2013 before divvying up the various components.
Ultimately, Foster Square will support a diverse senior community that includes those on fixed low incomes, people with dementia and those who can afford an anticipated $1.5 million condominium.
“The Foster Square concept that is starting to come to life is really a great concept because it has so many different types of options for different types of seniors,” said Nevada Merriman, MidPen’s director of development on the Peninsula. “The history of the site, with it being such a key location next to so many great city resources that are all adjacent also made it a very exciting project to be a part of. We’re just thrilled to see the other apartment homes come online.”
MidPen’s portion was constructed first and quickly filled up receiving nearly 700 applications for just 65 affordable units. Now that it is fully occupied, Merriman noted the demand for senior housing, particularly affordable options, highlights the need across the Bay Area. The property also offers exercise classes, social events and food assistance programs, according to MidPen.
Merriman added it’s been great to be part of a development created with other renowned builders like Atria and Lennar.
Atria was pleased to announce its portion — which includes a memory care unit, independent as well as assisted living options with extensive perks — has been completed and the first tenants are moving in. Lennar’s 200 for-sale properties for those 55 and older are under construction.
“It’s great because everything is geared toward seniors and the community as a whole has that special feel,” said Allison Miller, executive director of Atria at Foster Square.
She noted Atria is approaching about 50 percent occupancy and residents range from living independently to needing more intensive memory care. She touted a modern venue with a range of amenities such as on-site restaurants, 24-hour concierge service, a cocktail lounge, salon, spa and a wide range of exercise programs.
“Just the location alone, being close to the PJCC, and library and the rec center, the police department, it makes a major difference in people being interested in our community,” she said, adding she expects an active group of residents across the entire Foster Square community. “There’s assisted living, subsidized senior housing and the 55 plus senior housing condos; the whole concept is coming together really nicely.”
Lennar representatives did not return a request for comment. However, that developer is in the midst of a flurry of construction as 14 four-story buildings will host the 200 for-sale condominiums with the first expected to come online over the summer, said Curtis Banks, Foster City’s Community Development director.
The retail space under MidPen’s Alma Point was also sold off to another developer and thus far places like restaurants and a Starbucks are slated to move in, Banks said.
The entire property is immediately adjacent to City Hall, the fire station and library to the north; with the Peninsula Jewish Community Center to the south. Plans for what to do with one of Foster City’s last pieces of undeveloped land began decades ago as officials considered the best uses for the city-owned parcel. Once the council landed on housing seniors, the city sold the land for $30 million in late 2013.
Originally, the property was 30 acres and considered for a high school, which Foster City still doesn’t have. But after the school didn’t come to fruition, the council split the property in half, with the PJCC developing a portion of the lot.
One of the council’s goals in selling the land was to help community members age in place and, to the extent possible, existing residents were given priority. At the subsidized Alma Point, 45 of the 65 tenants were already living in Foster City before moving to the affordable units, Banks said.
Looking back over the decades, there were bumps in the road as the city sought to create a vibrant community — the city even selected another developer with a similar albeit different senior living concept. But when the recession hit, that project was no longer feasible, Banks said.
As part of the existing development, the council made the entire project contingent on the affordable housing being built first. MidPen’s $31 million cost included $18.7 million in competitive federal tax credits, as well as the city offering a loan.
With Alma Point and Atria complete, residents moving in, and opportunities to house hundreds more underway, Banks said it’s been a pleasure to watch Foster Square grow.
“This is the fruition of a vision that started in 2006,” Banks said, adding it’s very satisfying “to see that vision after a number of years and some challenges, to see it coming to life.”

The Swedish Legation to the Department of State 20
During negotiations between the British and United States Governments on one hand and the Swedish Government on the other about clearance of the two Norwegian ships Dicto and Lionel, it was most strongly emphasized from the British side that these ships for imperative operative and other reasons must leave Gothenburg at the very latest by the middle of January. As was pointed out by the Swedish authorities, preparations for the departure of these ships would most certainly have as their consequence interruption of the Gothenburg traffic from the German side, at least temporarily.
Had the Swedish Government been informed that the departure of the ships would be delayed for such a considerable period, and had final preparations for their departure been postponed until they really had intention of leaving, at least six more ships carrying about 37,000 tons of cargo to an approximate value of 32 million crowns could in the meantime have reached Sweden. Without any visible advantage to anybody Sweden has now, at least for the time being, been deprived of these cargoes which would have been of the utmost value for the defense and economical life of the country.
The Norwegian ships are still remaining in Swedish port. This fact can hardly be due to either weather conditions, which on several occasions have been favourable for departure, or to German naval measures, which must have been taken into account from the very outset. Consequently, as far as the Swedish Government can judge, there can hardly have been any necessity for fixing the departure of the ships to the middle of January at the very latest.
The Swedish Government wishes further to point out, that as long as the present situation continues there are hardly any possibilities for the Swedish Government to take action in order to try bringing about a resumption of the Gothenburg traffic. In accordance with what has been repeatedly stated from the British side the favourable season for breaking of the German blockade by the two ships seems to be approaching its end. Should the ships not depart before the end of this month, it would seem most likely that they will have to await a new darker season if the blockade situation remains unaltered.
The Swedish Government is asking the British Government to be good enough to inform them of their intentions, as an indefinite prolongation [Page 751] of the present situation is seriously jeopardizing, if not rendering impossible, Swedish efforts to safeguard most vital Swedish interests.
- The substance of this aide-mémoire was brought to the attention of the British Embassy and the Navy Department, and was sent to the Minister in Sweden as telegram No. 190, February 13, 9 p.m. (not printed).↩

Work in Progress
January 26, 2023 -April 13,2023
Thursdays / 12 weeks
6 pm – 8 pm CST
online through the Loft
Writing is a wonderful vocation, but the effort can be lonely. Come break the isolation! This class is for fiction writers who are looking for artistic camaraderie and would like feedback on a project. The first three weeks, we’ll focus on craft: characterization, story and plot, perspective, voice and dialogue, and world building. Our craft discussions will be grounded in close readings of stories by writers such as Lucia Berlin, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, George Saunders, and Ha Jin. We’ll experiment with varied writing exercises that strengthen our skills and push us into new territory. Beginning week four, we’ll begin constructive, craft-focused discussions of student work.
Please have a work in progress. Come prepared to write in class, read outside of class, discuss and comment on peers’ work, and engage in lively discussions. You’ll have up to 20 pages of a work in progress, either short story or novel excerpt, read & commented on by the teaching artist and fellow writers. At the end of 12 weeks, participants will have honed their craft, received thoughtful response to their work, and have a clearer sense of how to move forward with their project. Limit of 12 participants.

The strong showing of Islamists parties in the first round of Egypt's parliamentary elections has women's groups worried. The ultraconservative Salafi groups, which took a surprising 20 percent of the vote, openly question a modern role for women in society. One Salafi leader refused to appear on a political talk show on television until the female host put on a headscarf. Another denounced the military government's requirement to include women on electoral lists as "evil," though Emad Abdel-Ghafour, head of al-Nour, the leading Salafi party, stated that the party does accept women candidates. Yet the Salafi women who did run demurred from showing their pictures on campaign materials, instead replacing their faces with pictures of flowers; moreover, the party deliberately clustered them at the bottom of its lists, making them unlikely to win seats. One Salafi sheikh recently issued an opinion that women should not wear high-heeled shoes in public. Along with Salafi statements of intent to ban alcohol and limit beach tourism, these swipes at women unnerve liberals.
Yet liberals have not been stalwarts of women's rights in Egypt either. The 2000 decision to grant women the right to no-fault divorce (prior to this, they had to jump over the onerous legal hurdle of proving abuse or abandonment) was denounced not only by Islamist groups but by secular ones too -- for undermining the family. Other changes to the personal-status laws in the past decade that have benefited women, particularly an expansion of custody rights, are coming under increasing attack. Critics discredit the reforms by derisively calling them "Suzanne's Laws," after Suzanne Mubarak. They claim the laws were intended to accommodate the wealthy friends of the former first lady, and they blame those statutes for a rise in the country's divorce rate. Given the criticism of these laws from all sides of the political spectrum, it is likely that they will be amended by the new parliament, and not to women's benefit.
Women seem to be faring better in Tunisia. Liberals and secularists have been deeply wary of the rise of al-Nahda, the country's leading Islamist party, warning that it could mean a reversal of women's rights. Since the 1950s, Tunisian women have enjoyed the most expansive legal rights in the region, including relatively progressive marriage and divorce laws and access to birth control and abortion. Since returning to Tunisia in the beginning of this year, Rached Ghannouchi, al-Nahda's leader, has strived to convince Tunisians that his party will not seek to change the country's personal-status laws. Some, however, have accused al-Nahda of obfuscating its real intentions behind moderate rhetoric -- a charge that did not prevent the party from surging to victory with 41 percent of the vote in October's election. Thanks to electoral rules requiring favorable placement of women on party lists, women gained 23 percent of the seats in parliament, a higher share than in the U.S. Congress. Most of the women are from al-Nahda and will likely reflect their party's traditional views on women, but their participation in such large numbers at least normalizes an active political role for women. Moreover, Ghannouchi and other al-Nahda leaders so far have been purposefully focused on efforts to jump-start the economy, produce jobs, and reassure foreign investors. Al-Nahda has forged a coalition with liberal parties, and to maintain that coalition, it will have to continue to focus on the economy and human rights rather than getting bogged down in divisive culture wars.
Ghannouchi seems to understand that while rolling back gains for women can score points among Islamic conservatives, ultimately al-Nahda will win or lose on economic grounds, and women are important economic actors. With high rates of literacy and relatively low fertility, women constitute nearly a third of Tunisia's workforce. Economic reality simply demands a pragmatic approach toward women. Let's hope that Ghannouchi can get that message through to his Islamist brothers across the region. Otherwise, Arab women might soon be channeling their Iranian sisters, who have complained that Iran's Islamic Revolution has brought them little but poverty and polygamy.

If I was forced to use one phrase to describe the cinema of Terry Gilliam ('Brazil,' 'Brothers Grimm,' 'Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas'), it would be "loopy brilliance." And that's not a backhanded compliment. Gilliam is nothing if not a master filmmaker, one whose movies -- whether you love 'em or hate 'em -- are passionate, wildly creative and stylistically daring creations, like nothing else on the screen. This is a moviemaker in full command of his talents and his craft, and whatever the result, always seems to persevere in getting his vision up on the screen, often against enormous odds. Hollywood is not gernerally known for championing original, non-commercial visions, so it is a testament to Gilliam's tenacity that he has managed to carve out a successful career in the industry at all.
'12 Monkeys' may be Gilliam's most accessible film yet. It is certainly his most commercially successful. This, despite the fact that the film's plot is hardly conventional, and indeed, to reveal too much would be spoiling it. A dream-like mediation on memory, loss, love and the thin line between sanity and madness, Bruce Willis stars as James Cole, a convict from the future who reluctantly volunteers to be sent back in time to 1996 to gather information about the origin of an epidemic that has wiped out all but one percent of the Earth's population by 2035. Cole is told his goal is to bring back the virus so scientists can study it, but a hiccup causes him to land in 1990, and he begins to realize that those who sent him may have had other motives. After hooking up with well-meaning doctor Kathryn Railly (Madeline Stowe) and local loony Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt, in an Oscar-nominated performance), Cole unravels the mystery -- which will bring him to a very unexpected and shocking climax.
That may be the story of '12 Monkeys,' but it is really impossible to understand the film without seeing it. A mood piece, a love story, a visual tour de force and a black comedy, it is highly impressive how Gilliam is able to orchestrate so many shifts in tone and structure yet still maintain a cohesive, emotionally satisfying narrative. Even when the plot gets a bit dense, and we are unsure of exactly what is going on, we never lose trust that Gilliam knows where he is taking us. The performances by Willis, Stowe and Pitt certainly help, as they often seem to be in the same position as the audience -- lost, but strangely on course. Willis especially had a very difficult job, as his character spends the majority of the movie confused, bewildered and teetering on the brink of insanity. Yet Gilliam never loses focus of Cole's emotional journey, so we are never one step ahead or one step behind what's happening onscreen
By the time we get to the understated denouncement of '12 Monkeys,' however out there some of Gilliam's flights of fancy may have been -- and indeed, this is one weird movie -- it somehow all comes together. I was surprised, watching the film again after many years for this review, how emotionally powerful and satisfying it is. The closest film I can compare it to is Alfred Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' -- footage from which Gilliam even uses during a key moment between Willis and Stowe. Startling and evocative, '12 Monkeys' really isn't about time travel and viruses and technology run amok. It is really a fragmented fever dream of lost time and tragic choices, made all the more haunting by the fact that a man can't see his own destiny until the moment it is too late to change it.
Boy, is this one all over the place. '12 Monkeys' hits HD DVD in a 1080p/VC-1 transfer, and it is probably the most inconsistent and just plain wonky presentation I've yet seen on the format. Granted, this is a Terry Gilliam film, and stylistically audacious. Still, with a print of such varying quality I find it hard to figure out exactly how to assess its deficiencies.
There is nary an aspect of this transfer's image quality that, shot-to-shot, remains stable. The source material is fairly grainy, and some dirt and speckles are also present -- the film certainly looks its age, which is just over a decade old now. Blacks are pretty solid, but contrast and color reproduction waver. Some sequences, such as the flashbacks (or is that flashforwards?) that comprise a key plot point are blown-out and desaturated. Others are quite vivid, with hues that are noticeably more vibrant. Sharpness and depth are also pretty crazy -- some moments are so soft that it had me wondering if I was watching the standard-def DVD, while others had a very deep, three-dimensional look that is striking. Thankfully, despite such mixed source material, Universal has done a good job with the authoring and compression. I noticed surprisingly little noise and no macroblocking or other major artifacts. Perhaps '12 Monkeys' was never going to look fabulous in high-def, so I can't say this HD DVD is a genuine disappointment. But you might want to temper your expectations a bit.
A bit more reliable than the video, '12 Monkeys' gets a solid Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 surround track (encoded at 1.5mbps). This was once considered the reference quality soundtrack on laserdisc and DVD, and indeed the film's sound design holds up very well. Aside from a couple of problems, I'd say it still packs a healthy punch, even if it can't quite keep up with the most over-the-top soundtracks of today's modern action extravaganzas.
Let's start with the negatives. Dialogue here is sometimes hard to make out. Volume levels were too unequal for me, and I frequently had to adjust quieter dialogue passages to compensate for overly loud effects. I also thought bass response was surprisingly flat. There is little true kick here, and given all the cool atmospheric touches in the film, a bit more low end would have been nice.
That said, the rest of the soundtrack is very strong. Surround use is quite active -- granted, some of the more subdued scenes in the film are front-directed, but it suits the material fine. There are some truly nice discrete touches here, especially the nice dispersement of Paul Buckmaster's unobtrusive score the subtle ambient sounds -- Terry Gilliam certainly has an ear as astute as his eye. Imaging between channels is also very smooth and clean, with some nice transparent pans across the entire soundfield. Overall, it's a nicely rendered and effective presentation.
With such a great documentary, the audio commentary with Gilliam and producer Charles Roven overs a slight bit of overlap, but this is still an excellent extra in its own right. Gilliam again tackles some touchy subjects, from the test screenings to "director's cuts," but always remains rhapsodic about the performances of Bruce Willis, Madeline Stowe and Brad Pitt. He and Roven also delve quite extensively into the film's visual style, so this track is somewhat more technical than the documentary. Perhaps the length of both will make these a bit much for a casual fan to sit through, but it would be time well spent.
Rounding out the package is the '12 Monkeys' Archives, a still gallery with concept art, promotional materials and a few production photos. Rather dated in execution, it looks lifted right from the laserdisc. Also included is the film's theatrical trailer in 480i video, and the quality leaves something to be desired.
'12 Monkeys' is a thought-provoking, often challenging movie, and one that polarizes viewers. But if you're a fan of Terry Gilliam or more "avant garde" filmmaking, then it is a must-see. Unfortunately, this HD DVD is a tough call. The transfer is inconsistent, but then so is Gilliam's visual aesthetic. The soundtrack is a bit more strong, however, and the extras still hold up. So recommended for fans of the film, and worth a look for all others.


PALM BAY (7-0) AT VERO BEACH (6-2)
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m., Billy Livings Field at the Citrus Bowl, Vero Beach
Coaches: Palm Bay, Dan Burke (15th year, 146-35); Vero Beach, Gary Coggin (fifth year, 35-18)
Rankings: Palm Bay is No. 4 in Class 4A in The Associated Press Top 10
Series: Vero Beach leads 11-5. Last meeting: 2009 (Palm Bay won 21-10)
Last game: Palm Bay defeated New Smyrna Beach 30-13; Vero Beach lost to Treasure Coast 7-3
Scoring averages: Palm Bay, 33.9 offense, 7.6 defense; Vero Beach, 20.6 offense, 10.9 defense
The Skinny: This non-district game is the Fighting Indians' regular-season finale, and coach Coggin said he purposely scheduled traditional power Palm Bay for this week to help get his team get ready for the postseason. ... Coggin said this is a typical Palm Bay team that wants to run the ball but also throws it very well with talented quarterback Steven Hughes. "Their kicking game is solid, their defense, as always, is outstanding. We know we are facing a very good, solid football team. Their quarterback is in the same breadth as the one at Westwood and Jupiter. ... He flings it," Coggin said. Hughes completed 10 of 15 passes for 161 yards two weeks ago against New Smyrna Beach, and running back Leroy Berry carried 21 times for 147 yards. ... Palm Bay's defense could present problems for Vero Beach's running game, which has not been as consistent this year behind a young offensive line. The Pirates limited New Smyrna Beach to minus-6 rushing yards.
Palm Bay, which won its 11th district title under coach Burke two weeks ago, is headed to the playoffs for the 15th consecutive season. Vero Beach has earned its fifth straight ticket.
Palm Bay has won the last four games in the series (1997, 1999-2000, 2009) by a combined score of 146-67.
The Indians played this game close last year but what they saw as a downed forward pass was ruled a fumble, and Palm Bay scooped it up and scored to extend on a four-point lead late in the third quarter for the final score.
Vero Beach has lost two games by a total of five points.
Palm Bay has scored at least 40 points four times this season. Vero Beach hasn't scored 40 in a game since a 48-7 win over Park Vista on Nov. 21, 2008. The Indians' season high this year is 31 against Palm Beach Gardens.
Vero Beach RB Jormonte Hunter was held to a season-low 27 yards on 12 carries last week. He had a big game against Palm Bay last year with 119 rushing yards.
Coggin said his team has worked this week to correct mistakes in execution and lack of self-discipline, which led to too many penalties last week against Treasure Coast.
Vero Beach wide receiver Rakeem Marcelle is back from an ankle injury that kept him out last week, and running back Brandon James (bruised thigh) is almost 100 percent as well.
Several Vero Beach players missed practice time this week with the flu but coach Coggin said they were back to full strength by Wednesday.

Food’s relation with depression is a complicated one. A person can suddenly lose appetite or become extremely voracious. There are instances when you feel hungry, but do not eat due to the lethargy of cooking. Either way, it is a difficult task to eat healthy during a depression. Here is a list of tips that will help you to refrain from eating and drinking unhealthy and unhygienic food items such as alcohol, junk foods, chocolate, caffeine and ice-cream.
Prepare frozen meals well in advance:
During depression, not many people feel the urge to cook a meal. The alternative, in this case, is to prepare as many meals as you can and freeze them for future consumption. Food items such as black beans, pasta and chicken can be cooked and stored in the refrigerator for quite a few days. Store the cooked food in as many jars as you have. This cooked items will act as a life saviour when you feel hungry, but do not feel like cooking.
Use fewer dishes:
Minimising the number of dishes will save your life. A lot of people lose the urge of cooking or eating healthy when they see a pile of undone dishes in the wash basin. Use a minimum amount of dishes that is required for daily use and immediately wash them when you are done eating. This way you will fell motivated to cook and eat healthily.
Do not go for complicated meals:
They are a lot of easy to cook healthy meal options out there. Do not go for a dish that is difficult to prepare. If you mess up, chances are that you will neither enjoy eating the dish nor it cook in the future as well. The best thing to do is to prepare simple and easy to prepare healthy meals. Refer to a recipe book if you need help.
Listen to music while preparing food:
Cooking can be boring if you do not enjoy it. A good alternative is to listen to music while cooking. This will keep boredoms at bay and meals will be prepared in a whisker. Not to mention music will also keep your motivation level high. If work and play are not your things, you can watch the cooking shows to get your motivation level up.
Eating out is not a crime. If you feel the urge to eat out, go by all means. You need not eat junk food when you are out. Instead of going to a fast food joint, go to a good restaurant that serves healthy yet tasty food. It is a great way of improving your mood and eating healthy at the same time. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a doctor and ask a free question.

"Guard of All"
In life we will experience challenging situations in which our faith is tested. During those times we must remember exactly who our Heavenly Father truly is. God is our ultimate protector, provider, refuge, strength and safeguard. When you engage in God’s word and recall how he delivered many individuals during their challenging situations, don’t forget that he is the same GOD who will guard and deliver you. God is concerned about every detail of your life. God is aware of every trial you will and have experienced in your future, present, past and HE is your guard on all fronts.
Remember that GOD not only goes before us, HE is presently with us, and is concerned about what is going on behind us. There is no need to lack courage, be afraid, panic or tremble before our enemies or any situation that is used as a weapon to harm us. Our impenetrable Guard is the one who goes with us to fight against our enemies to save us (Deuteronomy 20: 3-4). If there was ever anyone who truly loved you and had your back, ponder on the truth that GOD does. Thank the LORD for being your rear guard!
Gracious Father, Thank you for your grace and mercy. I thank you that you hear and answer me every time I call. I am grateful that you are concerned about me and I have nothing to worry about because not only are you ahead of me and with me, LORD you are watching what goes on behind me and fighting my battles. Thank you LORD that you are my rear guard, safe guard and guard of all. Thank you. In Jesus name, Amen.

|Summary||0007340: ARM VmWare Fusion|
Hi Kali Linux Devs,
VMWare has blessed us with the tech preview for ARM based Macs, allowing us to run ARM64 Guests.
There are a number of tweaks needed along with a new kernel (5.14) and release of open-vm-tools to get the full experience working properly.
Would it be possible to look at getting the updated vmware tools in the repos and possibly the new kernel looked into?
Also is it a possibility to have an ARM VmWare image vended?
|Steps To Reproduce|
this can be resolved 5.14 & the latest open-vm-tools have hit experimental - thanks!
kali@kali:~$ uname -r
Thanks - actually there was one additional bug, we were only including open-vm-tools-desktop on amd64 and i386 but that should be fixed in the next weekly image as well as in 2021.4.

Browse these extended pet sitters with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Renton.
Reliable service, and trustworthy people to have caring for your pet :)
We have used Jewlie to petsit our two dogs for the past couple of years with confidence. She has emailed pictures to us while away, reassuring us our dogs were doing fine, as well as "pet sat" following one of our dogs having ACL surgery as well as being known to be temperamental. We have never found a door to be left unlocked when we've returned, or dogs to be without water, etc.
In this case, the pet sitting was in the form of companionship for a small free-range parrot and care for two overweight guinea pigs during a family trip abroad. Everyone appears to have emerged in fine shape without any glitches.
Nancy has provided me with pet sitting services for years, and she has been outstanding from the start. She is one of the handful of people that I would trust in my home without me. Over the years, she has been a favorite with the cats and dogs we have owned (we currently have 2 cats and 1 older dog), and she always has excellent pet advise. She is versitle and flexible. She gives our pets love, attention, and when necessary, shots and other medications. When we go away for a weekend or a week, we enjoy ourselves so much more knowing Nancy is caring for our "family" that has to stay behind.
I have used Menagerie Maid Pet Sitting for many years. Colleen is professional, dependable, and wonderful with animals. My African Grey and my Westie both adore her. I recommend her services without hesitation!
Crystal is amazing! My dogs can be a bit of a handful & she handles them with ease. My dogs love her & are so excited to see her every time she sits for them or takes them on walks/to play dates. She is great about scheduling & always makes an effort to accommodate our schedule. I feel confident leaving my dogs for extended periods of time knowing Crystal is there with them. She sends updates & pictures via text & even lets my little bed hogs share the bed at night. I highly recommend Crystal; you won't be disappointed!
Just like most of you reading this comment I was tired of having to put my two cats in boarding when I travel. I found P&P from my leasing office who said they were currently the go to pet sitters for our building. They were extremely professional, organized, and obviously love cats. Bingo and Price were totally relaxed upon my return unlike the normal I hate you showdown we usually have after boarding at the vet. I also loved the fact that they took the trash out and cleaned extremely well around the litterbox. I highly recommended their services.
My friend Betty Warr has worked for me doing light housekeeping in the past before my husband retired. She is honest and did a very good job. She also took over the care of my mother-in-law's poodle dog when my mother-in-law had to go into a nursing home. She loves dogs and does an excellent job of caring for her pets. She also did some housekeeping for my mother-in-law and father-in-law when they were still in their own home. They enjoyed having her help them.
Melody recently watched my two cats and she was amazing! We hadn’t been able to go on vacation since my cat was diagnosed with diabetes two years ago, and Melody went above and beyond all expectations. She took excellent care of both kitties and gave daily insulin injections to my diabetic cat. She sent many pictures throughout my trip and my pets loved her! I highly recommend hiring melody for pet sitting and I will definitely be going to her every time we will be out of town.
While visiting Paddywhack pet store I stumbled upon a business card for Nanny Dolittle. Id been looking for a pet-sitter or someone who can drop in on a long work day and tend to my pack. Some time went by and we adopted a fourth rescue dog. Adjustment periods for the dogs can take some time and extra tending to, so I decided to call the Nanny. We met, reviewed each dog in depth, my expectations for her visits, their expectations and then we created a visitation schedule on the spot. She left with a key to our home and has been coming regularly for over a year. Nanny Dolittle provides loving care to my dogs that desire it most and endless ball throwing for the other two. She knows exactly what each one needs and intuitively reads them when she visits. I know this because she leaves a note at the end of her visit that describes her stay and interactions with them. What she writes is exactly what we would have done for them had we been home. In addition, we notice the difference in their energy, happiness and general well-being on the days the Nanny has visited. She is reliable, flexible, trustworthy, accommodating, gentle, caring and provides exactly what she promises. We feel lucky to have her in our pack and the dogs are always excited when we leave for work with the parting words, The Nanny will be visiting with you today, just rest until her arrival.

The abstract entitled “New alternatives for the simultaneous detection of several pathogens involved in sexually transmitted diseases (STIs)” has been awarded by the AACC academic committee, which has assessed its technical quality, above the more than 700 papers presented.
The article has been developed by the Microbiology Department of the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital (Barcelona, Spain), in collaboration with the Certest Biotec, S.L. research staff.
Despite the growing concern about the impact of STI in public health, several of these diseases still represent major epidemics. As STIs are often asymptomatic, their clinical identification is difficult. Molecular methods offer increased sensitivity and specificity. They are useful for pathogens that cannot be cultivated and help diagnose atypical cases, asymptomatic or multiple infections.
(Fragment extracted from the award-winning work)
AACC Academy is composed of more than 600 doctoral level clinical biochemists and is dedicated to advancing scholarship in the field of laboratory medicine.
The complete work will be released at the Chicago AACC next edition, scheduled for December 15, 16 and 17.

American mothers spend more time with their kids today than they did in the 1960s, partly due to assumptions that the more time parents and kids spend together, the better. But new research could turn that assumption on its head in a big way—as the Washington Post reports, a new study shows that the amount of time parents spend with kids has “virtually no relationship to how children turn out.”
For the first time ever, researchers have undertaken a large longitudinal study of how parents spend their time and how their kids perform, Brigid Schulte reports. The study used time diaries and survey data to track how accessible mothers were to their children, linking that data to kids’ outcomes in the areas of behavior, emotion and academics. It found that the amount of time spent with kids “did not matter”—and in some cases could even harm children.
Schulte explains that time spent with stressed mothers can actually hurt children. Guilty, anxious moms who struggle to juggle work and childcare were linked to worse outcomes like lower math scores and behavioral problems. But overall, the study’s authors found that time spent with mothers doesn’t really matter—except during adolescence, when an engaged mom can result in less delinquent behavior.
The study flies in the face of the notion that a mother’s one-on-one time with her child is “sacred.” But the study’s authors note that the quality of time spent with kids still matters, even though the results don’t point to a magic number of time kids should be spending with their parents. In fact, notes Schulte, there’s another factor that predicted success more reliably than any amount of time spent with kids—social resources like “income and a mother’s educational level.”
“In an ideal world, this study would alleviate parents’ guilt about the amount of time they spend, and show instead what’s really important for kids,” Melissa Milkie, who co-authored the study, told Schulte. In the meantime, other research is pointing to the potential downsides of overly involved parents—this Wall Street Journal report points to a study that suggests that helicopter parents may increase their kids’ risk of physical inactivity.

Families left out as singles sublet public housing
June 27, 2010 - 3:00AM
A SHORTAGE of single-bedroom housing commission flats has meant two and three-bedroom units are being rented to singles and couples, some of whom are then subletting rooms, in breach of Office of Housing rules.
Meanwhile, families needing several bedrooms are left waiting, sometimes for years, for appropriate accommodation to become available, a public housing tenants association spokesman said.
Residents at the Fitzroy commission flats say the state government has failed to crack down on the subletting practice, despite repeated requests.
The president of the residents association at the Fitzroy commission flats, Frank Lin, said he knew of about 20 residents in the towers who sublet their rooms. The going rate, he said, was $80 a week.
A government spokesman confirmed that some single people or couples lived in two or three-bedroom flats and were not required to share with flatmates. But it is against the Office of Housing's rules for residents to own other properties or sublet rooms.
However, Mr Lin said it was easy for people to make money from subletting because the office was not proactive and did not investigate effectively.
He said in most cases where residents rented out spare rooms, they simply told authorities they were living with relatives, if they were asked - despite in some instances not even speaking the same language.
Mr Lin also said he knew of residents who had applied for and been granted public housing even though they already had somewhere to live, and then rented out the extra accommodation.
Residents have written to the Office of Housing, and the issue has been raised at meetings with Department of Human Services employees, he said.
State Minister for Housing Richard Wynne denied the practice was widespread, but said offenders would be evicted.
''There is no evidence of systematic subletting,'' he said. ''When there is evidence, we will take action through VCAT to have offenders evicted. We encourage anyone with allegations to contact the Office of Housing.''
But Mr Lin said he did not know of anyone who had been caught for the practice. In Mr Lin's office the desks are piled high with application forms. Many people, he said, would wait years to get a place in public housing, or gave up on the process altogether.
''That is very bad. The management of the housing, the Minister of Housing, is very … bureaucratic.''
A resident of the flats for 20 years, Kim Go Wong, said that where she used to live in Hong Kong, the authorities were much more effective. She said through a translator: ''They have very close details of the tenants … so if someone new came to live in the house, they will investigate. But, no, not here.''
Toby Archer, a policy worker at the Tenants Union of Victoria, said he had heard allegations about subletting, but did not think it was widespread. He said residents sometimes had grudges against each other and made unfounded allegations.
A spokesman for the Department of Human Services, Brendan Ryan, said the department had applied to VCAT about three suspected cases of subletting, but he did not know the outcome of the cases.
''Our practice shows subletting is not a common practice on housing estates,'' he said. ''When we become aware of subletting we can and do take action.''

Charming villages, storied castles and idyllic landscapes – Ireland boasts all these and more. Exploring this dreamy island country with a campervan hire is a must-do experience. Whether you’re a history buff, a nature lover or just someone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, road tripping is definitely the best way to see it all. Hire a campervan in Ireland from our station in Dublin and discover the Emerald Isle. No matter where you drive, its locals will always welcome you with Céad Míle Fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes).
Free 2nd driver included
Rebook or cancel with the Flex option up to 48 hours before departure
Free camping equipment and kitchen utensils included
Rent a campervan in Ireland and hit the road to explore the stunning coastal landscapes along the Wild Atlantic Way, with its panoramic views of endless ocean meeting rugged cliffs. Don’t miss the Cliffs of Moher either – a scenic spectacle stretching five miles and towering over 200 metres above the sea. Plan a detour to the spectacular Ring of Kerry, home to some of Ireland’s most dramatic scenery. Then, finish with a trip to Blarney Castle to lie down, lean back and kiss the Blarney Stone!
Driving in Ireland offers a unique and thrilling experience. The open roads unfold before you, revealing rough-hewn stone farmhouses, majestic landscapes and rugged coastline vistas.

Summer in Ireland offers the most consistent weather and longer days, but it’s also when the country is at its busiest. Spring and autumn offer mild weather, fewer crowds and lower prices, making them great times to hire a campervan in Ireland and hit the road. Winter in Ireland can be cold and wet, but it’s also the perfect time to cosy up by a pub fire and watch live traditional music sessions with a bunch of friendly locals.

FCC now allows 100% foreign ownership of US broadcast stations
In a ruling on May 29th, 2020, the Media Bureau of the FCC ruled that American broadcast stations may now be 100% owned by foreign and non-US entities. Until now, foreign ownership was limited to 25%.
The petition, filed and unchallenged, by Cumulus Media was granted (see the ruling below), effectively allowing any non-US entity to buy the media company completely.
Cumulus Media, Inc., is the third largest owner and operator of AM and FM radio stations in the United States. Cumulus lists ownership of 428 stations in 87 media markets.
Cumulus also owns and operates Westwood One (https://www.westwoodone.com).

India on Tuesday rejected peace talk’s offer from United States to facilitate and resolve Kashmir issue between India and Pakistan. India has consistently ruled out third party mediation, including that by the UN or the US. Whereas, Pakistan welcomes international mediation and also encourages the U.S. and the UN to help resolve its disputes with India.
This mess we’re in now, is due to the reason that New Delhi has taken it for granted that Kashmir can’t be resolved — helped make it a delayed and unsettled issue. It wasn’t also surprising that Prime Minister Modi’s only problem is that he lacks a political aide with sufficient heft to take the conversation forward.
This impression of not accepting a third party mediation by India was extremely peculiar. This in itself reflects a grim picture of the Indian approach to resolving the issue and maintaining bilateral relations.
Also, it raises questions on why the neighboring India is unable to make any progress on the dialogue process and what are the factors that are largely stalling this process or failed diplomacy in resolving the Kashmir issue? It’s all cloaked in secrecy.
The on-and-off resumption of dialogue process has become more of a pattern between the strained India-Pakistan relations. With the recent rejection it also raises that whether India is trying to play an upper hand by blocking the peace dialogue between the two nations? Vested interests that can go horribly wrong.
The ostrich has its head firmly in the sand.
Back then, it is not the first time, India, which has been steadfastly against any third-party intervention, also has refused numerous offers from Pakistan in developing peace since its emergence and continually snubbed the offer.
Acknowledging a problem is the first step to solve a problem, nonetheless, New Delhi wants to live in perpetual denial. Number of events have come in line where India continuously rejected peace talks;
Similarly, the Lahore Declaration which Vajpayee signed with Nawaz Sharif in 1999 said the two countries would intensify efforts to resolve all issues, including Jammu and Kashmir. Pursuant to the directive given by their respective Prime Minister to adopt measures for promoting a stable environment of peace, and security between the two countries — But today, India pretends there is no final settlement to be made.
Interestingly, India’s confrontational policy regarding Pakistan is also visible in the provocative statements at the BRICS Summit in Goa and, later, at the Heart of Asia Conference in Amritsar.
At a rally in Goa this year, Parrikar reportedly said: “If someone looks at the country with an evil eye, we will gouge his eyes out and put them back in his hand; we have that much power.”
Last year, on May 22nd, he publicly announced that “India needs to employ a ‘thorn to remove a thorn’ counter-insurgency tactics in Kashmir”. The Indian media reported Parrikar as saying, “You have to neutralize terrorists through terrorists only.”
Apart from the above factors importantly former R&AW chief A.S. Dulat talks about the need for communication and respect for resolving the Kashmir dispute. His views in advocating low military presence in Kashmir presented in his book Kashmir: The Vajpayee Years, co-authored with senior journalist Aditya Sinha, created a lot of ripples. He also argued the need for India to build confidence amongst Kashmiris through humanitarian measures. The book narrates the story of contemporary Kashmir.
It is crucial to mention the Kashmir issue continues to remain at the heart of all debates between the two countries, however, India has set the fires of war alight instead of dealing with the situation through negotiations. For India, it is a matter of domestic concern and does not seek any external interference where a resolution on that front seems like an impossible dream.
Finally, I believe that solving Kashmir dispute is a million dollar question, where continuous use of force or gun is not the answer. I believe dialogue is the only way forward even it’s from a third party mediation? But most importantly dialogue between who? Those who always reject the proposals? I believe that in current situation we need some kind of mediation or arbitration because dialogue can only proceed with a partner with which we have normal relations and a certain level of mutual trust? Henceforth, Kashmir has been and shall remain a sensitive issue, crucial to the relationship that the two nations share.
Bulldozing Dissent in India
State brutality and hostility have emerged as the defining factors in BJP’s (Bharatiya Janata Party) policy toward Indian Muslims. From mob lynching and punishment on beef consumption to imposing a ban on the ‘hijab’ in universities, BJP continues to find novel ways and means to target Muslim society and enforce the concept of Hindu supremacy in India. While deliberate marginalisation of Indian Muslims is not new and remains an important part of India’s policy towards its minorities, the intensity of this campaign is soaring with every passing day.
Recently, two senior BJP members made disparaging remarks against the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), brushing aside the sentiments of the state’s largest minority. The comments drew criticism from around the world, creating a diplomatic row for India.While PM Modi decided to remain silent on the issue, the concerned BJP members had to be suspended from the party given the intense backlash from several countries, especially the Gulf states.
On the other hand, the remarks also sparked a wave of anger in the Indian Muslim communities, who registered their grievances by holding protests on the streets in various parts of the state. However, to deal with its own citizens, India resorted to using force and refused to let the Muslims protest peacefully, depriving them of their fundamental democratic rights. Amidst the demonstrations after Friday prayers, clashes between protesters and police broke out in several parts, the most notable one occurred in Uttar Pradesh (UP). Two teenagers lost their lives, and several were injured. The Indian police also arrested approximately 300 individuals taking part in the protests.
The most concerning event that followed afterwards was bulldozing the houses of Muslim activists who were either present at the demonstrations or were apparently the organisers. The demolitions were justified on the pretext that they were illegal establishments. In reality, these criminal activities were done on the behest of the Chief Minister of UP, Yogi Adityanath, who is an ardent RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) follower – the most projected political figure in BJP (after Narendra Modi) and a torchbearer of Hindutva politics.
It has been observed that the frequency of the use of bulldozers to demolish personal property is increasing in Muslim-majority areas in India. CM Adityanath himself is considered the pioneer and advocate of this ‘bulldozer strategy’, which is now frequently being executed throughout India by other BJP leaders. His ardency with the idea of demolishing Muslim houses can be sensed from the fact that bulldozers are displayed at BJP rallies to demonstrate them as a symbol of state power. Mrityunjay Kumar, Adityanath’s media advisor later tweeted a photo of a bulldozer with the caption, ‘Remember, every Friday is followed by a Saturday,’ which conveys the government’s unapologetic stance on its actions and the intent to use such equipment without hesitation.
Whats worse, the state machinery deliberately orchestrates the scenes of Muslim houses being turned to rubble to instil a fearful impact. Its purpose is to deter the Muslim communities from protesting against the ‘saffronized’ state. Such images are meant to signal that the state will not tolerate such kind of opposition in the BJP-led India and will not hesitate to exercise the use of force against such segments. The prime objective is to bulldoze their courage to stand against oppression in the future.
Another way to look at this violence is the long-term dynamics of Indian politics. While it is apparent that Narendra Modi will contest the next Indian elections for BJP, it is fairly evident that an alternative leadership is preparing to succeed him in the future. The potential candidates are replicating his past machinations to strengthen their personal and political statures. Akin to Modi’s Gujarat massacre, his party members are recreating events that can bear similar impacts in order to emerge as radical leaders in accordance with BJP’s vision. This includes intense and targeted verbal and physical attacks on Muslims. Hence, the use of force against Muslims will likely be a prominent factor for capitalising on the majoritarian Hindu vote bank.
Lack of accountability, persistent silence of key leadership and the embedded political objectives are fanning dangerous flames in an already fraught environment for Muslims in India. The repressive attitude toward Indian Muslims has now been institutionalised at the state level and suggests that life will only worsen for them. India’s belligerent policy and confrontational actions will fuel further divisions in a society that has become extremely polarised along religious lines. Political interests are overshadowing national interests and the trend is likely to continue.
This week’s deadly earthquake is a reminder of the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan
Afghanistan can’t catch a break. This week’s deadly earthquake is the latest chapter in a worsening humanitarian crisis. It has also shone a light on the shortcomings of the Taliban’s ability to deal with the myriad of problems in the poverty stricken country. This represents an opportunity for the international community to play a larger role in helping Afghanistan to recover and rebuild.
This comes as a magnitude six earthquake hit Afghanistan’s remote Paktika province on Wednesday. The Taliban have claimed that at least 1,000 people have died, with over 1,500 injured. The number of casualties is expected to rise over the coming days. The remoteness of the province and heavy rain has hampered rescue efforts in what is the deadliest earthquake in two decades.
For Afghans this is the latest in a line of tragic events that are causing untold suffering. Since the Taliban takeover in August last year, Afghanistan has endured a worsening humanitarian crisis. Decades of conflict, natural disasters, poverty, drought and the coronavirus pandemic have meant that most Afghans are now facing a rapidly deteriorating situation under the Taliban.
The United Nations Development Program has stated that Afghanistan is facing ‘universal poverty’, with 97 per cent of Afghans living below the international poverty line. Acute malnutrition has risen dramatically across the country, with 95 per cent of Afghans now experiencing food insecurity. Well over 80 per cent of families are facing high unemployment, creating a situation where they cannot feed their children and where those children are either sold for money to buy food or forced to work or beg for pitiful sums. The healthcare system has also collapsed, with doctors and nurses not being paid and with medicine in short supply.
The Taliban rightly deserves criticism for this situation through poor governance and the mismanagement of what government funds are available. It has become quickly apparent that the Taliban are incapable of dealing with either the humanitarian crisis or effectively responding to the earthquake in Paktika. The Taliban’s supreme leader, Haibatullah Akhundzadah has pleaded with the international community to “to help the Afghan people affected by this great tragedy and to spare no effort”.
The situation in Afghanistan also raises uncomfortable questions about the role of the international community in causing the current crisis. The country has long been heavily reliant on foreign aid, and this was no different under the NATO-led occupation. The chaotic withdrawal of both international forces and humanitarian aid agencies resulted in much needed funds leaving with them.
Additionally, the implementation of harsh sanctions and the freezing of remaining Afghan assets by the United States has effectively hamstrung the Taliban’s ability to help those most affected by the crisis and to respond to disasters such as the recent earthquake. For these reasons, the Taliban’s claim that international sanctions and the freezing of Afghan assets is acting as a collective punishment on all Afghans has some merit.
In a positive development, the United Nations and aid agencies are on the ground providing support to those affected by the earthquake and have been undertaking operations to tackle the humanitarian crisis for some time. This includes providing tonnes of medical supplies and teams of medical professionals, and the roll out of food and tents for starving and displaced Afghans.
But more needs to be done. The international community, particularly countries who withdrew from Afghanistan last year, can provide much needed equipment and supplies so recovery operations can continue in Paktika. If these country’s still do not wish to recognise the Taliban, then these funds can be provided to UN aid agencies at ground-level.
Furthermore, the international community needs to play a larger role in alleviating the humanitarian crisis. This can be achieved by unfreezing frozen government assets, which belongs to Afghans, so development projects can continue, and civil servants, teachers and healthcare workers can be paid.
Through this funding, the international community can attempt to leverage the Taliban to adequately fund the education, financial and health sectors so people are paid and so these sectors can strengthen to reliably assist those in need. This leverage can also convince the Taliban to allow women to re-enter the workforce and participate in social life, something that will go a long way to ensuring that families earn enough to feed themselves.
The recent earthquake has highlighted the dire humanitarian and economic situation Afghanistan is in and it is up to both the Taliban and the international community to fix it.
While the international community doesn’t have to recognise the Taliban, it is equally responsible in ensuring that the crisis ends so innocent Afghans can rebuild their lives with dignity.
Pakistan: World Refugee Day
World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honor refugees around the globe. It falls each year on June 20 and celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution. World Refugee Day is an occasion to build empathy and understanding for their plight and to recognize their resilience in rebuilding their lives.
Taking refuge is an old phenomenon, and even during WWI and WWII, the refugee crisis became very serious. In the last few decades, the geopolitics has deteriorated, and once again the people were forced to take refuge in the safer part of the world. Unfortunately, the Muslim world was the victim and most of the refugees were Muslims. However, the Ukraine war is the first-ever war in Europe after several decades, and the refugee crisis in Europe seems a new one. There are around 6 million Ukrainian refugees, and there are 44 European countries, or 27 EU member countries, sharing this burden collectively. Whereas, Pakistan hosted up to 5 million (at peak) Afghan refugees alone.
Pakistan joins the international community in commemorating World Refugee Day. While observing this Day, we express our solidarity with refugees all around the world. This Day behaves us to reflect on the drivers of forced displacements and to reaffirm our commitment to finding sustainable solutions for refugee situations, including through conflict prevention and resolution. This Day is also an occasion to reiterate our collective resolve for refugee protection under the principle of international burden- and responsibility-sharing.
Pakistan has shouldered the responsibility of one of the largest and most protracted refugee situations in the world for over four decades. Pakistan continues to host more than 3 million Afghans. Another 0.4 million Rohingyas have also found refuge in Pakistan. There are refugees from Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India and etc. The people of Pakistan have demonstrated exemplary generosity, hospitality, and compassion towards the refugees in the country, showcased in Pakistan’s inclusive policies on health, education, and livelihoods, including during the COVID-19 response.
As new situations emerge around the globe, the long-standing Afghan refugee situation must not be forgotten by the international community. There is a need for renewed international commitment, especially in the context of COVID-compounded socio-economic and health challenges, through regular, predictable, and adequate financing for Afghan refugees including their safe and dignified return. It is equally important to undertake necessary measures for the stability and sustainable socio-economic development of Afghanistan, in order to avert the possibility of any future refugee exodus from the country.
On this Day, Pakistan pays special tribute to UNHCR – the United Nations refugee agency – for its commendable work in support of refugees and host communities throughout the world. Pakistan looks forward to further strengthening its valuable partnership with UNHCR. We call on the international community to support the Organization in its efforts toward durable solutions for refugees worldwide.
Genetically, Pakistan is an open-minded society and due to its own diversity, can accommodate all races, cultures, and religions, and can be integrated with others conveniently. Pakistan has been hosting refugees from various parts of the world and has integrated them perfectly. Pakistan hosts the world’s second-largest number of refugees in its territory. However, the economic burden is beyond Pakistan’s capacity, the international community is urged to generously extend a helping hand in sharing the burdens with Pakistan. Instability in the region imposed wars, and natural disasters are growing in this part of the world, which may cause more unrest in the neighboring countries and force more people to take refuge in Pakistan. Europe and America have strict policies, but, Pakistan is still a more flexible and convenient destination for international refugees. The constitution of Pakistan is more friendly and accommodative. The visa regime and border controls are also rather flexible and friendly.

Xiaomi has not officially said anything about what it is planning to bring with the MIUI 10. It has also not started posting teasers on social media to build the hype.
Xiaomi is set to launch the flagship Mi 8 on May 31 at an event in China. Alongside Mi 8, the Chinese colossus will also unveil the MIUI 10 that will take the helm of the primary OS on nearly all Xiaomi smartphones and tablets. Ahead of the official announcement, some screenshots of MIUI 10 have surfaced on the Internet, giving us a glimpse of what Xiaomi’s new OS will look like.
The MIUI 10 screenshots obtained by TechnoCodex show the new design along with revamped controls and toggles. The recent menu screen has been overhauled to adjust the apps in a vertical thumbnail view with a new floating window. The colour theme is based on shades of white and blue colours. The gallery app can be seen showing the most recent photos as preview.
As per the screenshots, MIUI 10 will bring support for gestures, which is a major interface in Android P. The gestures will be customisable and probably replace the on-screen home, back, and recent buttons. The volume control widget has now been moved to the right side with a separate toggle to enable the silent mode. A customisation button accompanies the volume control that will allow changing the modes more conveniently. The notification shade has been redesigned to forgo the weather info that overcasts the shade. The control centre also has a new design with revamped toggle icons.
Xiaomi has not officially said anything about what it is planning to bring with the MIUI 10. It has also not started posting teasers on social media to build the hype. Moreover, the report has also enlisted the devices that will be eligible to receive the MIUI 10 update.

Get your tax return due date extended.
Not ready to file? Well, you've come to the right place.
A couple of things you should know
- It's automatic. You don't need to provide a reason of why you need your taxes extended. If you think you will owe taxes, it's best to go ahead pay an estimated amount when you file an extension.
- More time. Filing an extension gets you an additional six months to receive and gather any missing information and have your return prepared and filed.
- Just remember: filing an extension does not extend the amount of time you have to pay your taxes. If you owe or will owe any taxes, they are still due by the due date. If your taxes are not paid by the due date, you may be subject to penalties and interest.
2016 tax return Due dates
Individuals & Partnerships: Tuesday, April 18, 2017
S-Corps & C-Corps: Wednesday, March 15, 2017
before you request an extension
You'll need to pay for the filing of your extension. If you're extending a personal return and a business return, you'll need to pay for two extension. After you pay for your extension, your extension will be filed.
