The House voted unanimously Wednesday to restore a benefit that helps families of fallen soldiers plan funerals and meet their loved ones’ bodies — a snag of the government shutdown that drew outrage across the country.
The vote, 425-0, came hours after grieving relatives, denied the help because of the budget impasse in Washington, watched the flag-draped caskets of their loved ones returned to American soil.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said before the vote that the president “expects this to be fixed today.” It was not immediately clear when the Senate would act. Members of Congress, scrambling and embarrassed, pledged that the lapse would be corrected in short order.
The benefit is a $100,000 payment that arrives within days of a soldier’s death, bridging the gap between a military salary and survivor benefits. Since its suspension, as detailed in a series of NBC News stories, their immense grief has been compounded by outrage and frustration.
The Obama administration says it has worked out a solution to allow the families of fallen military members to receive death benefits during the government shutdown. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says the Fisher House Foundation has agreed to make the payments from its own funds. At the end of the shutdown, the Defense Department will reimburse the foundation for the costs it has incurred.
The Fisher House Foundation is a charity organization that works with veterans and military families.
Carney was hammered by reporters at an afternoon briefing about when the president learned that the benefit was being suspended. A senior White House official said that the Defense Department had warned Congress, before it passed a bill to pay the military during the shutdown, that the benefit would be cut off unless it was explicitly addressed.
Members of the media continue to ask White House spokesman Jay Carney about when President Barack Obama became aware that death benefits to military families were in jeopardy amid the federal government shutdown.
Moments before Carney spoke, the families gathered at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to tend to their grim retrievals. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel attended the ceremony, watching, as the families did, as a white-gloved honor guard carried four flag-covered cases out of the belly of a military jet and into a mortuary truck.
(Below: Raw video of coffin of fallen Oregon soldier Cody Patterson returning to U.S.)
While Washington bickered, the families tended to their grim retrievals.
Matt Peters, the brother of Army special agent Joseph Peters, said that in the minutes before he and his mother received the casket, nothing mattered but the loss itself.
“We don’t care about shutdowns or payouts or any of that right now,” he told NBC News. “We’re just trying to grieve.”
Peters, assigned to the Army military police, was among four killed over the weekend in Afghanistan whose bodies were being returned to Dover on Wednesday and whose families were denied the benefit, a $100,000 payment known as the death gratuity.
“It is upsetting because my husband died for his country, and now his family is left to worry,” Special Agent Peters’ wife, Ashley, said before boarding a plane to Dover to meet the body of her husband.
The shutdown entered its ninth day no end in sight. The Veterans of Foreign Wars, the largest veterans organization in the country, repeated its disgust on Wednesday and said it was “absolutely appalling and nothing short of a travesty that elected officials continue to receive paychecks and benefits while not providing for those who deserve it.”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pledged that the benefits “are going to be restored, without any question.” The House planned to pass legislation later in the day, invoking a fast-track procedure that requires a two-thirds majority. The bill was expected to pass unanimously.
The chaplain of the Senate, Barry Black, directly invoked the denial of the benefit in his daily opening prayer before the chamber.
“Lord, when our federal shutdown delays payments of death benefits to the families of children dying on far-away battlefields, it’s time for our lawmakers to say enough is enough,” he said. “Cover our shame with the robe of your righteousness.”
Congressional lawmakers squabble Wednesday over a delay in death benefits to military families during a House hearing on veteran benefits.
Some members of Congress were surprised that it was not covered by a law passed just before the shutdown that authorized “pay and allowances” for the military. In any event, the Senate was expected to pass the fix, and Obama to sign it, quickly.


We are welcomed to “a world where everyone strives for what is not worth having”.

It’s the fifth TV adaptation of Thackeray’s novel and Palin’s fairground cameo instantly made it feel different – almost like he was narrating a fairy tale.
The social-climbing gold-digger would have been a cert for Georgian Love Island too.
There is plenty for older viewers as well, with Suranne Jones and ITV favourite Martin Clunes as lecherous baronet Sir Pitt Crawley.
We also have Frances de la Tour to come, bringing a touch of the Maggie Smiths to the show’s most entertaining character, Miss Matilda Crawley.

Former Deputy Ashanti region Minister; Joseph Yammin has accused the police of not working with information being given regarding galamsey.
Mr. Yammin who was speaking on Abusua Fm morning show with Kwame Adinkra expressed sadness that the fight against galamsey is not being taken seriously by some.
He was unhappy that the Police were not proactive in utilizing information given by himself and others regarding galamsey. “Some of us have spoken on radio and given information that could lead to very positive outcomes in the fight against galamsey but the authorities do not seem interested”.
The aspiring NDC Ashanti Chairman felt that regarding the Chinese lady; En Huang popularly known as Aisha, “there is nothing indicating that this case involving Aisha will be taking all the way”.
He also revealed that until the issue of politicization of galamsey issue is stopped, no headway can be made especially since the activities of Aisha cut across parties. “Her activities cut across both party in power and then the opposition party”.
The Accra High Court on Friday morning granted bail to En Huang a.k.a. Aisha and four other Chinese alleged illegal miners (galamsey).
Huang was granted bail in the sum of Ghc 500,000 with two sureties , all to be justified.
The case was adjourned to June 16, 2017 for the full commencement of the trial.

BEG: There is no legal basis for inserting subsidies in the August heating bills
The government has not yet paid the subsidies RUN calculated them in the heat energy invoices that it delivered to consumers for February, March and April of this year. According to BEG Supply, it's about 99,6 million denars, which until this moment are borne by the company.
In the announcement from BEG given after the statement of the President of the Energy Regulatory Commission, Marko Bislimoski, who asked the company to reverse the invoices issued for August and prepare new ones, the company points out that the heat energy supply service for the heating season 2022/2023 is invoiced according to the last Decision made by the Energy Regulatory Commission made on 29.07.2022.
The Government's decision on subsidies expired on April 30.04.2022, XNUMX, i.e. there is no legal basis for applying subsidies in advance August invoices to consumers - they say from BEG.
From there, they point out that it is a regular practice for invoices in months when heat energy is not delivered to be delivered to consumers at the end of the current month, and the deadline for their payment, as always, is on the 21st day of the following month.

Olympic golden girl Lizzy Yarnold attended the Burgess Hill Girls school to cheer on the young athletes during it’s sports day.
The two-time gold medal winner spent the day talking with the girls, answering their questions and supporting the various races.
A spokesman for the school said: “Ms Yarnold gave a wonderfully emotive and motivational speech.
“She spoke about the challenges she faced in her bid to be an Olympian, reducing several girls and staff to tears.”
During her speech the Skeleton champion revealed she knew at the age of 18 that she wasn’t going to make it as a javelin thrower and began to explore other events to realise her dream of becoming an Olympian.
Through UK Sport’s Girls4Gold talent identification programme, she was identified as having potential in skeleton, an event where a single rider on a skeleton bobsled, hurtles down a frozen track while lying face down and head-first.
The decorated Olympian told the audience that failing is good, revealing her own motto, ‘Succeed and celebrate, fail and you learn.’
Ms Yarnold said: “You don’t win much in life, so it is very important to deal with losing and to see it as a positive.”
Burgess Hill Girls Junior School headteacher Heather Cavanagh said: “Lizzy’s visit was a huge thrill.
“She’s so down to earth and modest and has overcome so many setbacks in her quest to become an Olympian.
“Determination and resilience are such important life skills for young people.
“She’s a fantastic role model for girls who want to succeed in life.”
For one girl in year 10, the former javelin thrower’s visit was particularly inspirational. Peanut Meekings, aged 15, throws javelin for Sussex and shares the same sporting hero as Ms Yarnold, Britain’s Goldie Sayers.
The Skeleton athlete won gold in 2014 and 2018 earning her the title of most successful British winter Olympian.

The police have arrested 5 people, which include the brother, mother, and husband of the teenager. The girl claims she was raped by her own brother and was forced into prostitution by her own mother.
During a press release, the Mankhurd Police said that the mother of the girl forced her to become a prostitute.
The mother of the girl also forced her to marry a man in April 2018.
The teenager said her husband used to abuse her and rape her.
When the teen went back to the house of her mother, her own mother forced her to become a prostitute and brought her to a sex trafficker.
The teenager is a resident of Mankhurd, East Mumbai.
The teen also claims she was forced to have sexual relationships with a 60-year-old man in exchange for money.
The teen said she was also raped by the husband of the sex trafficker.
The girl said she asked help from her brother, but instead of helping her, her own brother raped her and threatened to kill her with a sword.
The police have registered a case under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act, and the Child Marriage Prevention Act.
The police are currently trying to arrest the 60-year-old man who had sexual relationships with the teenager.

To mark 120 years since the publication of Beatrix Potter’s much-loved children’s classic The Tale of Peter Rabbit, publisher Penguin Random House Children’s has today announced a three-year partnership with non-profit garden designers Grow2Know CIC, on behalf of Frederick Warne & Co. (owners of The World of Peter Rabbit).
A pioneering non-profit dedicated to reconnecting people with nature and each other through the creation of community gardens, Grow2Know reclaims blank spaces and transforms them into gardens designed to contribute to local residents’ health, happiness and wellbeing.
The seed for Grow2Know was sown by North Kensington resident Tayshan Hayden-Smith (pictured) in response to the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy in 2017, when residents came together to green up spaces in the area to uplift and unify the community through nature – inspiring the creation of the Grenfell Garden of Peace.
The new Grow With Peter Rabbit initiative has been developed by Penguin Random House Children’s in partnership with Grow2Know to bring the benefits of gardening and spending time in nature to as many families as possible. Drawing on Peter Rabbit’s playful nature, as well as his insatiable appetite for vegetables, Grow2Know’s founders – semi-professional footballer, community activist and TV presenter Tayshan Hayden-Smith, garden designer and TV presenter Danny Clarke (aka ‘The Black Gardener’), and Ali Yellop, agriculturist, chef and herbalist – will design and deliver three Peter Rabbit community garden makeovers between now and 2024.
The first Peter Rabbit-inspired garden is currently in development in a disused plot attached to St Clement & St James CE Primary School, Kensington: a school in the heart of the community where Grow2Know was founded, and the borough in which Peter Rabbit’s creator, Beatrix Potter, was born on 28 July 1866. The garden will be unveiled just before the school breaks up for the summer holidays. An illustration showing the design inspiration for the garden, by visual artist Kai McKim, is revealed today.
Interactive areas for children to read, play, grow and learn, inspired by the adventures of Peter Rabbit and friends, have been incorporated into the garden, which can be used by the local community to host workshops and events from this summer onwards.
Members of the public from across the UK will also be encouraged to Grow With Peter Rabbit from home during National Children’s Gardening Week 2022 (28 May to 5 June) when a series of filmed How-To videos, led by Tayshan Hayden-Smith, will be released.
TV presenter and farmer JB Gill will take part in the challenge on his social media, as will married couple Jake and Hannah Graf MBE, named by the Guardian as one of the UK’s most influential LBGTQ couples, who – alongside their current careers and parenting responsibilities – are vocal advocates for the trans community. Along with their families, they will be joining in with the Grow With Peter Rabbit challenge to demonstrate how easy and fun it is to grow your own vegetables at home using simple, upcycled objects and a packet of seeds.
In addition, primary school teachers across the UK will have access to specially created Grow With Peter Rabbit learning resources, meaning multiple opportunities for parents and children to engage with the 120th-anniversary campaign.
Supporters of Grow With Peter Rabbit include garden centre retailer Dobbies and London-based non-profit organisation Octavia.
Dobbies, the official garden centre partner for The World of Peter Rabbit this year, will be donating plants and materials for the school garden in support of the initiative, as well as hosting free Peter Rabbit workshops in stores nationwide.
Octavia, founded by the Victorian philanthropist Octavia Hill to support Londoners of all ages, is providing a contribution towards the build through its Better Lives Community Fund, which supports projects which reduce loneliness and isolation amongst young people in London.

How Big is the Industry?
Mexican fast-casual restaurants continue to outperform the rest of the industry
Americans love Mexican food – and that might be one of the biggest understatements of all time. Just think about your own life: how often do you eat Mexican food? Upserve reports that “last year alone, Americans ate over 4.5 billion tacos,” (1) and MIC reports that the majority of millennials confess to eating at least one burrito a week, with 72% of that demographic owning up to eating two or more burritos a week. (2)
It’s no surprise then to learn that the Mexican food industry has blossomed into a $66 billion industry. The Atlantic Monthly reports that “nearly half of Americans eat Mexican food at least once a month, and that almost everyone is familiar with Mexican food.” (3) Mexican food is one of life’s simple pleasures, not only does it taste delicious, it also has the unique ability to cater to all types of lifestyle preferences and flavor profiles. In an article entitled, “Has the Fast Food Industry Taken Over Mexican Food,” Upserve gets to the heart of why Mexican food is so universally appealing:
“Your guests want to be able to mix and match their food habits, with healthy and well…a little decadent,” the publication writes. “They want something a little cheesy, but still loaded with good for you components, and Mexican food is the perfect vessel. It can be made as healthy or unhealthy as the guest wants – Best part? This trend doesn’t come at a cost to you with 88% of those asked are willing to pay more for healthier food.” (4)
The popularity of Mexican food makes it a great time to open a Mexican Fast Casual restaurant
While there are about 60,000 Mexican food restaurants across the country, the market is not even close to being saturated. Franchise Direct reports that Mexican food franchise brands, in particular, continue to reap the benefits:
- The restaurant industry has found that out of all its different sub-industries, Mexican food franchises are outperforming all other types of restaurants or fast food franchises. With increasing trends pointing at a boom in ethnic cuisine and an emphasis on fast foods, Mexican food is winning consumers over.
- According to MarketResearch.com, the Mexican restaurant industry in the United States is estimated at $52 billion, and is predicted to keep on growing. With annual growth rates averaging at 8% for Mexican foods, this market sector is taking off as the fastest growing part of the restaurant industry. (5)
Consumer spending on Mexican food is likewise growing. Stashlearn points out that, “The percentage of people spending between $15 and $20 per meal on Mexican food increased to 38% from 26% between 2016 and 2018.” (6)
Pancheros is ready to capitalize on the outsized demand for Mexican food
Pancheros is a brand with a cult-like following in the Mexican fast-casual industry. Widely beloved in the Midwest, where the brand has won millions of customers who crave our fresh-pressed tortillas, our homemade queso, salsas, guacamole, and more, Pancheros is known for serving up the perfect burrito that stands up on its own, like a tower of absolute deliciousness.
“We’re a brand with a cult-following and a lot of people in the Midwest really love Pancheros and that fandom is only going to grow as we expand across the United States,” says Joe Gale, Director of Franchise Development with Pancheros. “We’ve proven the concept not only in the Midwest but also in the Northeast, and the brand is thriving in these markets.”

I have been going camping my entire life. What I love about camping is that it forces you to simplify your life. You take only the essentials, you focus on the experience and the company without the distraction of technology.
My husband also loves camping and it has been something that we have been unable to do together for the last couple of years due to conflicting work schedules. But this year that changed, and I have suddenly found myself feeling as though I have gained so much free time due to a job that doesn’t require me to work on weekends or public holidays! There is a lot to be said about the importance of making the most of your time away from work, especially to get outside and connect with people away from technology.
Roping in a couple of friends we decided to get out of the city for the May long weekend here in Queensland and head somewhere picturesque to relax and unwind. With so many amazing National Parks nearby it was a tough choice but in the end I chose Bunya Mountains. There were a couple of main reasons for my choice, firstly as I had never been there before, and secondly the pictures just looked so darn pretty!!
Bunya Mountains National Park is about 3 hours drive north-west of Brisbane, through some scenic countryside. The final stretch is quite steep and narrow, and if you are lucky enough to not be the driver then make sure you look out the window to catch some breath-taking views! If you are the driver, take it easy, this road can be a bit scary!
We chose to camp at Dandabah Camping Grounds due to the facilities. As I said, I hadn’t been camping for a while so I thought it best to ease back into it by remaining close to toilets and hot showers! The camping ground backed onto some epic forest making us feel like we were in the middle of nowhere, however if you walked the other way you could still grab a latte. Not your traditional national park camping, but coffee is important!
We set up our camp site whilst being watched by wallabies and their quick young joeys as colourful little birds hoped around us. The sites are unmarked, so it is always beneficial to get in early to secure a good site especially on a long weekend! It was then time to settle down and start relaxing.
First up on the agenda the following morning, after a latte of course, was a hike through some of the beautiful subtropical rainforest. We chose to pack up some food and wander along the Barker Creek Circuit Track which is 10km return. It is a relatively easy walk, with a very defined track making it suitable for most people wanting to experience all areas of the forest.
I loved the variation in the forest around me. With every kilometre we walked the landscape changed. The dense rainforest lead us to a clearing with panoramic views across the gorge. We walked past little waterfalls and through winding paths surrounded by enormous Bunya pines. This is easily one of the prettiest walks that I have done.
That night, the weather was kind to us and I got my very first chance to photograph the stars! This was both challenging and exciting, standing in the dark unsure if it was wallabies or wild pigs running around behind us, all while we were fixated on trying the get the perfect settings for that perfect shot. I was so excited to get some results and can’t wait to point my camera towards the Milky Way again soon!
Bunya Mountains is a great spot for a quick getaway, giving a taste of some of this country’s remarkable beauty. As always it is important to look after these amazing places we are lucky enough to be able to visit, so make sure you leave no trace and take all your rubbish with you.

Why Is a steel casing pipe recommended for pipe ramming in the horizontal boring method?
Pipe ramming is a trenchless construction technique used to install underground utilities, pipes, ducts, conduits, and culverts. It involves using a pneumatic or hydraulically powered ramming tool, or piston, to drive an open-ended steel casing from the launch pit to the exit pit of a job site.
During this process, a ramming tool delivers high-frequency percussive blows which essentially hammer the steel casing through the earth to its final destination. (Read 5 Pipe Ramming Methods Used in HDD.)
As the casing moves through the soil, the wall thickness of the pipe is displaced, while the rest of the soil remains in the casing. Upon completion of ramming operations, the soil is removed from the inside of the casing by auguring, water jetting, or by flushing with compressed air.
The use of steel casings during pipe ramming operations is due primarily to the magnitude of the driving forces involved. The ramming tool needs to apply direct, high-impact forces to the casing in order to overcome skin friction and soil shear forces. As such, a casing material with sufficient strength properties must be used to avoid failure during application of the blows.
Steel, which is an alloy of iron and carbon, exhibits desirable behavior when subjected to impact loading. The ductility, yield strength, compressive strength, and strain rate of steel allow it to undergo the rigorous ramming process with little to no deformation.
In addition to the ability to withstand impacts, steel casings also possess a relatively low coefficient of friction; thus minimizing resistive forces as the casing is driven through the soil. The ring stiffness of the casing also provides adequate support for the upper layers of soil to reduce the probability of subsidence or settlement.

Rupert Murdoch’s Star TV has pulled out of the battle for one of Hong Kong’s five new pay-TV licenses, put up for grabs in July by the Chinese government.
Star’s withdrawal leaves the field clear for Hong Kong's main free-to-air operator Television Broadcasts and Pacific Digital Media, a consortium whose investors include French media groups Lagardere and Thomson Multimedia. The licenses were formally awarded yesterday.
Local analysts believe that Star’s sudden loss of enthusiasm reflects the overcrowded nature of the comparatively small Hong Kong market (600,000 pay-TV subscribers) which is dominated by of its largest operator, I-Cable.
Opined Anne Ling, an analyst with HSBC Securities: "Earlier this year, everyone was talking about opportunities in interactive TV and e-commerce. Now companies are looking closely at the business model."

"Freedom for Pablo Hasél!"
Protest rallies across the country against the imprisonment of the rapper from Lleida
BarcelonaThe stairs of the Lesseps subway exit in Barcelona were collapsed this Tuesday evening by the crowd that gathered in the square to protest against the imprisonment of Pablo Hasél. The cries of "Freedom for Pablo Hasél!" have resounded in the Lesseps square, where thousands of people have gathered, 1,700 according to the Guardia Urbana. From the first moments of the demonstration, the music did not stop. "Welcome to Spain, you'll never be free" sang a rapper, just before a woman started singing Mesclat's Si el rei vol corona.
"What happened today shows that we don't live in a democratic state", said Mireia, who wore a Catalan independence flag on her back and carried a sign calling for Hasél's freedom. A little further on, a sign said: "Absolutely shameful". Many of those gathered used their mobile phones, both to capture the massive response to the call and to try to find each other. The atmosphere was vindictive and the crowd made it very difficult to keep a safe distance, but most people wore masks. In fact, it was one of the largest protests since the pandemic began. In addition to Barcelona, protests against Hasel's imprisonment have also been called in about fifty towns.
"Prison is not the worst place in the world for someone who dares to think for himself. We must remain determined for freedom of expression," said the president of Òmnium Cultural, Jordi Cuixart, who participated in the demonstration in Barcelona, where slogans such as "the streets will always be ours" and "against fascism, not a step back" were also chanted.
From Plaça Lesseps, protestors marched down Avinguda Riera de les Cassoles and Via Augusta. On their way, the cries of "Freedom for Pablo Hasél!" resounded around Gràcia, where neighbours contributed by banging pots and pans from their balconies. The crowd then encountered a police cordon and started firing firecrackers and hurling bottles at them. The march stopped outside the police station on Balmes street. Some demonstrators threw stones and glass and burnt rubbish containers, causing the firefighters to intervene. The riots continued, however, with some demonstrators breaking the windows of some bank offices, before riot police charged and fired rubber bullets. There have also been clashes in the demonstrations in Lleida, Girona, Vic and Valencia.

Samsung’s next Galaxy may not be folding phone after all
In particular, rumors are swirling about when the S9 and S9 Plus might come out and what technological innovations Samsung might deploy in the new Galaxy phones.
Some are predicting an earlier debut than this year, perhaps at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona scheduled for Feb. 25 to March 1.
But Samsung hasn’t used the annual tech show to showcase its new phone since 2016, when it came up with the S7. For the S8 this year, the tech giant chose to throw an independent unpacked event in New York and London.
If Samsung opts for an unpacked event for the S9, it will most likely be set sometime in March, given this year’s precedent.
A Samsung spokesman, though, was skeptical about a release before March, citing a tight schedule for development, despite rumors the company has already begun churning out the S9.
As for the design, the big question has been whether the S9 will be foldable. The odds so far point to no.
Samsung hinted in September that it was preparing to launch a foldable phone in 2018 with two separate OLED displays in a flip phone design.
“A foldable phone is part of our road map, and we have set a goal to release it next year,” Koh Dong-jin, president of the mobile communications division at Samsung Electronics, said in a press conference on Sept. 12.
Foldable phones require developing various related parts, Koh said, and the company is in the middle of “digging” itself out of those hurdles to release the phone only after the problems have been solved completely.
A month earlier in August, when Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note8, Koh also said foldable phones were something Samsung “definitely wants to challenge,” but the company needs more time to hone the technology.
Analysts expect that if Samsung follows the “road map,” the Galaxy Note9, which based on precedent could come in August next year, might adopt the folding feature.
Or, as Apple did with the iPhone X, Samsung could opt for the simultaneous release of a foldable model and call it the Galaxy X, analysts said.
Samsung might not be the only manufacturer developing a folding smartphone for release next year. A new patent from Apple hints Samsung’s biggest rival might be working on it, too.
The latest patent describes a device that resembles a book that can transform into a small tablet. Its application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office shows the gadget “may have a flexible portion that allows the device to be folded.”
Evan Blass, a frequent source of phone leaks, said in a recent tweet that Samsung is not planning a big redesign for its Galaxy S9 and will instead deliver “only a minor update” in the form of a better processor and better placement of its fingerprint sensor.
Samsung is rumored to be working on an optical fingerprint sensor hidden underneath the display after consumers expressed ergonomic frustration about the fingerprint sensor located next to the camera on the back of the S8 and Note8.
Some have dubbed the placement the worst feature of the new Galaxy lineup.
The S9 will not likely come with 3-D face scanning technology like the one its rival Apple has implemented in the iPhone X, according to recent leaks. The headphone jack will probably remain, and leaks suggest the phone will come with dual cameras, a narrower bezel and new colors.

Just take care not to over-tighten the points. Double check all connection points and make sure you have placed every little piece in its place. Now turn on the shut off valves and check through the lines, especially the connection points, for any leakage.

Christabel Daniella Kitchen Faucet, 2017-07-13 06:08:29. There are many different types and styles of faucets and shower heads available today. When it comes to choosing a faucet, one needs to consider the specification of the bath. For example, one must know where a single hole, center set or a three-hole faucet is required. Moreover, the most important feature when looking for a faucet should be the internal mechanism. Quality faucets will always contain ceramic cartridges and brass fittings. Always steer clear of any faucets with plastic shells, seals or handles.

The FTSE Mid Cap fell 2.59% whilst the FTSE Small Cap dipped 1.27%.
According to OCBC Investment Research (OIR), US stocks closed sharply lower, extending a pre-Thanksgiving rout that has been fueled mostly by a selling in shares of technology and internet-related companies but has now spread to ensnare the broader market.
All eleven S&P 500 industries ended lower, with Energy (-3.29%) and Consumer Discretionary (-2.18%) leading the declines.
"The continued weakness on Wall Street overnight is likely to weigh further on local sentiment today," OIR said.

In a blow to the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, former minister and close associate of Patnaik, Debasis Nayak, and Congress legislator Nihar Mahananda defected to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday. The defections occurred during a "misran parv" held at the state BJP office.
Nayak expressed discontent with the BJD, claiming that the party was now controlled by bureaucrats and had lost its original vision. He alleged that the party was importing members from other parties due to its dwindling support and predicted that numerous BJD leaders would join the BJP within the next 15 days. Nayak also praised the Modi government and predicted a BJP victory in Odisha.
Earlier on February 22nd, expelled BJD leader and Gopalpur MLA Pradeep Kumar Panigrahi joined the BJP and accused the Naveen Patnaik-led state government of rampant corruption. He urged the public to support a "double-engine BJP government" in Odisha.

"I don't think I just speak for myself, but a couple guys in the clubhouse, too, the unfortunate thing is we can't just swap," Orioles closer Zach Britton said of the weekend series. "[The Rays] won't just come back to our place [in July's scheduled meeting]. You would think they would see the situation we are in and understand that this is a lot more important than baseball and we are doing this for the right reasons. And that they would be willing to go back to our place when we were supposed to be at their place."
Rays owner Stu Sternberg told reporters there wasn't a whole lot of back-and-forth between Major League Baseball and the Rays before the final decision was announced.
"[A series swap] came up," he said. "I wouldn't say [they] asked, 'Will you please do it?' It was up for discussion."
And, similar to playing in a neutral site like Washington or Philadelphia, the swap was deemed not the best solution. Instead, the O's will board a plane big enough to accommodate their families -- which traveling secretary Kevin Buck was able to secure at the last minute -- on Thursday's off-day to start what is now a 10-day, nine-game road trip.
"It's tough, everyone knows how much we like playing in front of our fans, how important baseball is to the city of Baltimore," said Orioles starter Chris Tillman, who will start Friday's game. "It goes to show how bad this really is, that we actually have to move it. You know, better safe than sorry."
And while there's no denying the abrupt change in schedule, Tillman and the rest of the Orioles, who have been closely following the coverage of the Freddie Gray protests on clubhouse TVs, aren't complaining about their plight.
"To say something that we are going to go through on a baseball field playing in the big leagues is difficult is really insensitive to everything else that's going on. It's a small thing for us, comparatively speaking," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "One of the things that we all, not just me, tried to do when I came here was eliminate excuses. I don't want to hear about payroll, I don't want to hear about things like that. This is different.
"Some are self-inflicted and, quite frankly, I feel like, the way I look at it, it is self-inflicted. Even though someone in our locker room didn't [cause problems], but we are citizens of this community. And if something is going on here that creates this type of situation, it's a reflection on all of us, and we should look at it that way."

Yellow streak Gordon, this is pure comedy surely?
Fairness and aspiration are not polar opposites, in fact they go hand in hand. That insight – that all people have the chance to rise as far as their talents take them – remains the driving force behind New Labour today. Written by yellow streak Brown.
You and your Labour government have spent thirteen years hammering the middle classes at every opportunity, thirteen years raiding their pensions, taxing them by stealth, endlessly pillaging soft targets like the motorist, homeowner or pensioner with savings, thirteen years raising National Insurance, the tax on jobs, thirteen years tinkering with and dumbing down education, the only route out of poverty for millions. What a lot of waffle from an unelected, unwanted control freak - roll on the election, it's time for an intelligent change, even your own ministers want to see the back of you.
The Labour party doesn't do aspiration, because clever people don't vote Labour unless they are in the pay of the Labour Party or dependant on them, for example the quango rats, never before have there been so many quangos, achieving so little for the British people.
Mr yellow streak Brown, if the driving force behind Labour were truly to allow full upward mobility to the disadvantaged as well as to members of the Establishment, the tax system would be modified in such manner that it were no longer possible for a poor man to be paying in tax a higher percentage of his income than a rich man.
Experience has shown, Mr yellow streak Brown, that your guarantees are not worth much more. Also, please concern yourself less with telling us what you think the Tories would do and more with telling us what you will do (if elected of course). We can hear for ourselves their policies (if and when they arise) and are adult enough to decide for ourselves who is the least untrustworthy.
You have turned our Parliament into an obscene casino for the self-aggrandisement of our Members of Parliament, whilst the Labour fodder nod through each repressive, authoritarian attack on out Liberties, safe in the knowledge that their flipping homes will make them property millionaires on the backs of the taxpayer. Speaker Martin (Labour) forced to resign for being the worst Speaker in 400 years and then given a Knighthood for this is that what you mean by aspiration!
You were the most incompetent Chancellor and now the most incompetent Prime Minister in living memory.
Please just go away.

Two house guests from Idaho had appoints with me. They left CC Salon in amazement! Both said they had never had such great shampoos, snd the hair stylists made them feel absolutely at home. They both said if they lived here they would definitely make CC Salon their home for hair needs! Of course, this has been my beauty salon for about 25 years snd I have always been happy!!!
Love this salon and the stylists. Julie and Haydee have cut my hair and bangs and I’ve been very happy with both of their work. They have fit me in twice now with no appointment and the receptionist is always so polite and nice.
Excellent, excellent, excellent care and service. The other night I called and explained that I had a medical emergency and asked if they could board my dogs for the night and maybe longer. They had the room and were most willing to accommodate me and my two dogs. They provided excellent care to my little ones while they were there and sent a picture and an update on how they were doing. My dogs are happy there too which is a great relief. I have never ever, ever had any issues with the care given to my pets nor to me when I have gone to Deepwood for anything. I love and respect Dr. Pool and her wonderful staff (all of them). I couldn't ask for a better, more loving, caring vet. I have been to other vets so I know a good vet when I see and have one. They truly care! I have taken my pets to Deepwood since 1990 and will not change. They have laughed with me and cried with me over many of my dogs. They are wonderful. All I can do is say"THANK YOU Deepwood" from the bottom of my heart for caring so much and for taking such great care of my little ones and me. Love you guys!

Local Review: Ritt Momney – Her And All Of My Friends
Local Music Reviews
Her And All Of My Friends
Ritt Momney = The National + Vancouver Sleep Clinic
Jack Rutter is a green 19 year old and already weaving troubadour tales of wisening faith exodus and heartbreak. Having formed the same spoonerism-titled band in high school merely for comedic effect, Rutter quickly realized he was not only losing his band to post-graduation LDS missions and his first serious girlfriend to college, but also the breadth of his young social identity. In response, Rutter self-produced his “bedroom pop” debut album under his formerly disbanded group’s moniker.
At first glance, the thirteen tracks on the album are beautifully (and somewhat expositionally) titled as a chronologic tribute to Rutter’s displacement of self. The album opens with extremely stripped-back piano and vocals, with apparently no mastering or post-production, bringing the listener into Rutter’s stark, darkly lit lone bedroom wherein he formed the album.
The following tracks begin to take on a more produced mashup of dour folk and subtle electronic and R&B aspects, especially notable in “Command V.” Rutter’s lyrics are truly bittersweet, with entreaties of need and attestations of quiet pessimism. Rutter uses charming little sonic tricks, including brief vocal warps, that make the tracks curiously playful while maintaining their underlying thread of depressive and sometimes downright hopeless tonalities.
This juxtaposition makes Rutter’s debut album strangely joyful and appealing, even as it depicts stygian and isolating themes, a rather umami combination that seems especially zeitgeisty to contemporary pop music à la the Billie Eilish ilk.
Rutter lullabies the listener through the third act of the album with another stripped back piano ballad in “Paper News,” with his soulful voice just off in the auditory distance and hearkening ever so slightly to a mid-era Beatles demo. Track 11, “Wormwood,” is a shimmery indie treat with soft falsetto and fantastic, subtle synth patches and is a wonderful highlight of the album overall.
Her And All Of My Friends’s penultimate track “(If) The Book Doesn’t Sell,” is a clear and visually rich treatise on his egress from religious identity, with yet another dash of hip-hop-informed, semi-spoken vocoder and ardent prose reminiscent of Sun Kil Moon. Closing track “III” returns to the raw, lonely-echoing room sound with an acoustic guitar and soft vocal layering that speaks to gentle resignation and hints of acceptance that suffuse the album.
A single sustained organ chord bridge brings a fittingly gospel edge to the track as it begins to warp and layer and glitch until only Rutter’s voice echoes and the aural chaos resumes to his speaking voice and a sudden stop, leaving the listener with a sense of disorientation and groundlessness Rutter ostensibly experienced to inspire his songwriting.
Her And All Of My Friends is a strong addition to the local sound profile, with a level of transparency about highly relevant identity concerns for many of the local population. This is an album that won’t be a saccharine listen for anyone with similar lived experiences in all the best ways, and a tuneful little treat for anyone with tastes for acoustic indie with an R&B flourish. —Paige Zuckerman

In a world where cryptocurrencies are all the rage, it is important to know the pros and cons of using crypto currencies to pay for water.
Water in the US has become a major revenue stream for cities and states.
While it is not a perfect solution for water usage, it can be a viable option.
The water utility has become one of the biggest proponents of crypto currency adoption.
The utility has created a program that enables people to pay by utilizing a virtual card.
For now, there are a few limitations on how much water can be used with the program.
However, there is no limit on how many times a user can use the card and they can use it in the same location at the same time.
If they are using more than the cap of 1.6 million water users per day, the program will stop working.
The program is currently only available for residents of cities with a population of at least 25,000.
The current plan is for a water credit to be issued every month.
That is the first time it has been implemented.
However this program has been in place for a few months now.
In order to continue the program, the utility will need to raise the water rates on those paying with the virtual card, as well as a few other fees.
There is no way to determine if the water rate hikes will be permanent, and if so, how long they will last.
It is also unclear how many people will be eligible for the credit.
It also remains unclear if water is a priority for the city or if the credit will be extended for as long as the water utility remains in the program in the future.
For many, the ability to pay with crypto currencies is a no brainer, but the utility needs to be careful about how it handles the program so that users do not lose their water credit.
If the utility is going to continue using the program at all, it should do so in a way that encourages the adoption of crypto currencies by residents.
One of the first crypto currency transactions to be accepted with the water credit program was a $100 withdrawal from the utility’s bank account.
This transaction has been reported to the state water agency, and the water agency will investigate the issue.
However the utility has not yet said how it will address the issue with users.
A $100 transaction with a virtual credit card can be made from any ATM in the United States.
However it is unlikely that the utility would have any issues with users who did not actually withdraw the funds with their card, or with users that attempted to withdraw their water with their debit card, according to Brian Seltzer, the head of water for the Ohio Department of Environmental Protection.
It was reported that a $500 withdrawal from a Wells Fargo bank account with the Wells Fargo virtual card was also reported to be in the process of being reported to regulators.
However both those incidents occurred on November 6.
The amount of cash withdrawn from a virtual debit card was $7.25, according the Ohio DEP, which is lower than the $11.00 that is reported in the Wells statement.
That’s a lot of cash to be going around with a digital card, especially if you have to pay a utility fee for the service.
The $10 fee for using the virtual credit is also significantly higher than the fee for paying with your cash, which can be as low as $3.00.
So how can the utility keep up with the demand?
The utility says that it has made changes to the program to address the problems caused by users withdrawing cash from the card.
The latest update states that the new program will be in place by December 15, 2017.
However there are still some hurdles to overcome before it will become a viable water credit option for most people.
While the utility can now accept credit cards with the new virtual card program, it will still have to address some issues that were not addressed in the initial version of the program as well.
For example, the virtual debit cards do not provide a method for withdrawals of the amount being issued.
Instead, users must enter the card number, a PIN code and then select the “use virtual card” option from the screen.
This method does not allow users to withdraw cash directly, as that is not possible.
The second issue is that the credit card only works for residents in Ohio who are not in the state, meaning that those who are residents in other states may not be eligible.
There are also other issues with the credit cards that will need addressed, such as the fact that they are not backed by a financial institution.
A lot of people, including some of the people that are paying the water bill with the cards, are not happy with the current system and have been calling for an overhaul of the system.
It will be interesting to see if the utility changes its approach once the program is in place.
If water rates are too high for a lot people, then the utility may be forced to raise rates in order to make up for the

Mr Kipling sweet goodies are ALWAYS good to eat. They arrive fresh and tasty and are packed to travel well. We will definitely order these scrumptdelicious lemon slices again. Thanks to you British Corner Shop
Mr. Kipling's Lemon layer slices are delicious as always. They are really soft, juicy and have the sour taste I was hoping for. They are potentially the best lemon slices I have ever tried and it is quite handy that every two slices are packed individually so that the others stay fresh. Unfortunately, though, the entire package is rather small.
I love anything Mr. Kipling, their cakes are always fresh tasting and fragrant even though they are packaged. Mr Kipling. Lemon Layer slices have a lovely fresh lemon fragrance and taste, a soft sponge, a delicious filling and icing. My only complaint with these, is that they are extremely small. They should actually be called lemon fingers. You will easily finish off one pack of these on your own with a cuppa. Over the years, this kind of product has become smaller by the minute. This is why I am only awarding three stars.
Mr.Kipling certainly do manufacture excellent baked goods. I have always like lemon flavoured cakes and love this version, it actually tastes better than mine with less effort. The only thing you need to add is a hot beverage. Should you be planning a dinner party this would certainly be a great choice to serve your gusts for dessert.
THESE ARE DIVINE! They are moist, delicious and one of the best lemon flavours I have found in a baked good. One of the items I truly miss from the UK, but so pleased I can get from BCS rather easily! I will be converting everyone here in the US as well!
Mr Kipling makes the best lemon slices without a doubt. (if it him that actually makes them that is).
These were always a regular in my shopping basket in the UK and I think they will start to appear when I shop through BCS too.
They are a moist cake with a delicious icing on top. They look and taste great.
Mr Kipling lemon slices taste absolutely heavenly, there are my new favorite cakes in the world. I make a nice fluffy lemon cake myself but never managed to make thick yet light icing as you can find on those cakes. They are also wrapped in individual packaging, making them ideal to bring to work with you and have for your break with a nice cup of tea.

CONSTRUCT YOUR PROJECT
If you are looking for advice during your search for a site, a site where you will feel « at home, » a place that will enhance the sensitive relationship you have with the environment. You may find values that resemble yours at Cantercel :
- The potential of place as project generator,
- Habitat as a centre that offers support to life and allows it to flourish,
- Research for the new,
- Autonomy in the form of independence rather than self-sufficiency,
- Ecology as a practice of balance,
- Not only physical but mental and social health,
- Use as adequateness between need and adaptation and not only consummation,
and tools that you can use :
- To discover a sensitive perception of space,
- To deepen your search for coherence between place, brief and construction,
- To analyse the project steps required to manifest an idea.
Our aim is to share the results of experiments carried out at Cantercel that allow us to
- Live better : through consideration of the atmosphere and sensorial comfort of living space
- Construct differently : with material sufficiency and creations that optimise usage and performance via sustainable development
- Form a new pact between town and country : to fulfill a conceptual and operational process that puts place as the social motor of a development project in rural and suburban areas.
Starting with a visit, you can speak to us of your ideas, your projects and we can explore their feasibility with you and accompany you to their fruition.
The living places created at Cantercel have all been the occasion of experiences :
- establishing dialogue between outside and inside
- involving self-building and knowledge transmission
- using timber construction techniques
- involving manipulation of synthetic materials : organic glass and technical textiles
- evaluating where construction costs are flexible
- validating use and comfort levels through consideration of seasonal variation and use over time.
The living places created outside Cantercel have also represented the experiences of :
- exchanges and collaborative conception with their inhabitants,
- the fruition of projects with particularly varied costs and administration concerns,
cooperation with craftsmen teams willing to participate in an uncommon approach.
Self-building is a core experience at Cantercel, whether a training site combining professionals and novices, an educational site, or simply done by one or two. We have been able to measure, the distance, time and means required to achieve an idea/drawing/work, evaluate the economy and costs each represents, the individual and collective human adventure, the return in effort and the change in view that each presents on its environment.
By accompanying you as a self-builder we can share our insights with you, orientate you in this project method and explain the key steps that you will encounter.
From self-building “out of the ground” to hand finishing, it is important to measure the process.
The Cantercel team has also carried out within the charitable framework, preliminary site analysis studies to contribute to :
- Determining a building site and location selection
- Defining urbanisation options
- Rural and suburban urban design
- Understanding the dynamics of a place and its impact
