Protecting yourself against uncertainties is one step forward towards creating a concrete personal financial plan for the future. Insurance offers peace of mind knowing you are fully protected against unexpected situations. You can get insurance against anything, but some need priority. And more so the kind of insurance company to offload all your worries and uncertainties to and be sure to reinstate whatever you signed up for when the worst happens. Read insurance company customer reviews and listen to what other clients like you have to say about insurance services. How efficient are they when writing off claims? Read reviews about insurance companies at the ReviewsBird UK website before signing up for a policy cover.
Here are must-have insurance policies:
Long-term disability insurance
To imagine a long-term disability is frightening. Although some people neglect it, hoping nothing will happen to them. While relying on hope alone to protect your future earning capacity is not a good idea, and you cannot bank on it. Anything can happen! Instead of relying on hopes alone, invest in disability policy to be on the safe side. This policy covers your current lifestyle so that you may continue enjoying the same lifestyle in case of incapacity or disability that will leave you unable to work.
Life insurance takes care of the interest of those dependent on you when you are no more or face financial hardships. This policy cares for spouses, children and parents, and any other individual who would face financial difficulties when you die. You see now the prerogative of putting life insurance higher on the list, don’t you? I hope you do. Life insurance must have an insurance policy because it replaces lost income. It will take care of your children’s education right from elementary to college level if you die.
There are two types of life insurance to buy. You either purchase permanent life insurance or term life insurance. The difference is visible, term life insurance covers you for a specific period, usually 10 to 30 years, while permanent life insurance covers you for a lifetime.
A home is one of the valuable assets for most people, and it is safe to insure against fire, damages, and disaster. What’s more, it is mandatory if you have a mortgage plan. Homeowners’ insurance is usually built into the mortgage payment. If you are renting a home, there’s a renter’s insurance policy, which is as crucial as homeowner’s insurance. Even when renting a home, your belongings can add up to considerable amounts. In case the worst happens, and you lose your belongings, your insurance should cover replacement costs. Both renters’ and homeowners’ insurance should protect against personal liability if somebody gets injured in your property during a disaster.
Most states require vehicle owners to buy auto insurance to cover liability. And if you are buying a car with a loan, collision insurance is necessary to add since liability insurance only covers the other car and not yours.
When buying insurance policies, shop carefully since they come in different shapes and sizes, and all of them have different features, prices, and benefits.

USDA: Global Wheat Stocks Heading Up
The USDA’s latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report says global wheat ending stocks for 2014-15 will be up just under a million tons from 2013-14.
The report expects world wheat production to be down 2 per cent from this year – while consumption will be down 1 per cent.
The department says wheat production increases for countries like Argentina, China and Brazil are more than offset by reductions in Canada, Ukraine and Australia, among others.
Global corn ending stocks for 2014-15 are expected to hit a 15-year high of 181 point 7 million tonnes.
That’s up over 13 million from 2013-14.
The USDA says a year-to-year increase in world beginning stocks will more than offset a reduction in world output.
And the WASDE report pegs global soyobean production to be up 5 point 6 per cent for 2014-15.
That’s mostly due to an expected larger U-S crop.
Global oilseed ending stocks for 2014-15, including soybeans, are projected to increase by 14 point 6 million tons to 94 point 8 million.

The conceit behind Patema Inverted, a 2013 anime by Yasuhiro Yoshiura, is that at some point in the past, scientists inadvertently reversed the direction of Earth’s gravity, causing mass destruction and many deaths, with the survivors splintering into two societies, one above ground and one below, each subjected to an opposing gravitational force: those above appear to be pulled down into the planet, and those underground appear to be pulled upwards, toward the sky.
As conceits go, this is patently nonsense but I’m ok with that. Unlike last year’s relentlessly idiotic Lucy, which took a dumb idea and then wove it so tightly through the fabric of the film it was impossible to see where the film ended and the stupid began, Patema Inverted sets up the inverted gravity concept at the start, never bothers explaining it, and then gets on with things. Accept it, or don’t, whatever. A wizard did it, who knows.
The titular Patema is a young girl with a restless explorer’s spirit, living underground but poking at the edges of her world. She’s the kind of young, strong-willed, female protagonist typical of a Ghibli film, which made it all the more frustrating when she threatens to become the film’s MacGuffin for male characters to fight over, after accidentally falling through a hole into the right-way up world. Once she’s there, she’s powerless, constantly at risk of being pulled up into the sky, and totally dependent on residents of that world — her ally, a young boy named Age, and her enemy, Izamura, a pantomime villain — to keep her from flying away.
Fortunately, the dual-gravity helps avoid Patema being relegated to the damsel-in-distress role; the switching back and forth between different gravities gives her as much agency as anybody else in the film. Initially helpless, she’s soon able to use her differences to escape the film’s antagonist and rescue Age at the same time, and when in her own world with Age, it’s Age that’s obliged to rely on others to keep him safe. In the end, Patema reminded me of Chihiro from Spirited Away: initially lost, she learns how to live in a bizarre world to the best of her abilities, and is very much the hero of the story.
Patema Inverted is a great film with energetic, interesting characters. Visually, it’s pretty crazy at times, with the inverted gravity giving plenty of opportunity for camera swoops and flips that gave me vertigo at times, dizzying and sometimes disorientating. What really grabbed me about the film was how videogame-like it became, not because of showy set-pieces but the core mechanics. When Age holds on to Patema, he’s able to anchor her, to prevent her falling up into space, but the combination of his weight and Patema’s upward-pulling buoyancy allows them to leap great distances. Another, heavier, character pulls people down instead. Pairs are frequently forced to split up and go their separate ways, depending on whether there’s a floor or ceiling for them to use, rejoining each other at the end of different routes and spreading the story up to the sky and back down into the earth.
The mechanic of having multiple characters with complementary abilities is one that’s been used over and over in videogames, dating at least as far back to 1987’s Head Over Heels which saw you controlling two characters — one with a powerful jump and the other with a fast running speed — that were stronger combined, but forced at times to separate to progress through the levels. ’90s action puzzler The Lost Vikings had three characters, a runner, a warrior and a defensive character that could work together to reach level areas that an individual character couldn’t access. More recent examples include The Cave, Trine and Thomas Was Alone. Seasoned gamers should feel right at home watching Patema Inverted.

In the line of secure WP smartphones of the companyOukitel update appeared - officially introduced model Oukitel WP6. In some respects, of all those available in the family, it is the coolest, even if we take into account the Oukitel WP7 that has not yet been released, but already shown briefly at the exhibition in December. Oukitel WP6 received the most serious battery - as much as 10,000 mAh.
Battery capacity is enough for a month of life instandby time and 45 hours talk time. Fast charging is provided - 18 watts. It happens even cooler, of course, but this is not a flagship, but just a smartphone with a claim to reliability.
Oukitel WP6 is protected in accordance with IP68,what the harsh inscription on the stern once again reminds of - “H2O submersible”, that is, “submersible”. You can swim with him, in general. And taking pictures of the fish, there are many cameras, and among them there is a serious 48-megapixel one. The company consists of 2 megapixels and 5 megapixels, one is probably a depth sensor, the second one can be assumed to be a wide-angle, but without warranty. The front camera is 16 MP.
The processor is medium power, but at least not veryold - MediaTek Helio P70. It supports artificial intelligence, so cameras are able to invent something on their own. We did not spare memory - 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of built-in constant, expansion is possible.
The screen, it seems, is not bad. IPS 6.3 ″ with a resolution of 1080 × 2340, protected by 1.1 mm thick Gorilla Glass. There is a video on which the drill is broken on the screen. Not that it greatly adorned the screen ...</ p>
The fingerprint scanner is, just removed from sight out of sight on the side face.
It looks like a brick. Surely heavy, but the weight and dimensions at the time of writing these lines are unknown. There is a black and silver version with red inserts.

Like most minpins, the beast loves to borrow so I thought a sleeping bag would be great. For now I think it will stay a quilt cause it's terribly hot in Florida right now and the (lazy) beast loves to sprawl all over it.
Check out the back.
I choose to do sets of three lines in a square, getting wider and wider in the center.
The (snuggly) beast seems to love it. He plopped down on it as soon as I gave it to him and when I took it out for photos he wouldn't let me get a picture without him in it.

iPhone provides built-in Software RTT and TTY from the Phone app—it requires no additional devices. If you turn on Software RTT/TTY, iPhone defaults to the RTT protocol whenever it's supported by the carrier.
Secure network services like virtual private networking typically require minimal setup and configuration to work with iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices.
Apple insists that the "X" stands for the Roman numeral for 10. And the "S" stands for "speed," at least in Apple lore.
The iPhone XR (stylized and marketed as iPhone Xʀ; Roman numeral "X" pronounced "ten") is a smartphone designed and manufactured by Apple Inc. It is part of the twelfth generation of the iPhone. Pre-orders began on October 19, 2018, with an official release on October 26, 2018.
The first-generation iPhone SEfirst-generation iPhone SEThe iPhone SE is a series of budget smartphones, part of the iPhone family designed by Apple. It may refer to: iPhone SE (1st generation), released in 2016. iPhone SE (2nd generation), released in 2020. (also known as iPhone SE 1 or iPhone SE 2016; SE is an initialism for Special Edition) is a smartphone that was designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. It is part of the 9th generation of the iPhone alongside the higher-end iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.
“Steve Jobs said the 'I' stands for 'internet, individual, instruct, inform, [and] inspire,'” Paul Bischoff, a privacy advocate at Comparitech, explains. However, while these words were an important part of the presentation, Jobs also said that the “I” “didn't have an official meaning,” Bischoff continues.
It hasn't always been this way. Back when Apple first announced the iPhone 3GS, Schiller himself proudly explained the name as “the S simply stands for speed, because this is the most powerful, fastest iPhone we've ever made.”
This iPhone was named "4S" where the "S" stood for Siri, an iPhone 4S-exclusive intelligent personal assistant that was later included in future generations of mobile Apple products.
5S – stands for 5 Security because it was the first iPhone to have Touch ID. 5C – Stands for 5 colorful because it came in many vibrant colors. 6S – stands for 6 Screen because it was the first iPhone to have 3D Touch.
Stephen Lam/Reuters. One of Apple's new phones this fall is the iPhone XR. Apple finally revealed what the "R" means. Apparently, it's an homage to "special" sports cars, according to Apple's marketing chief, Phil Schiller.
The newest Apple phones this year are called the iPhone XS and the iPhone XR. Apple insists that the "X" stands for the Roman numeral for 10. And the "S" stands for "speed," at least in Apple lore.
The i at the start of iPhone is one of its defining features. And it mostly refers to “internet”, though not entirely, and the story of how it got there is slightly more complicated. The naming convention was first introduced with the iMac. Launched in 1998, the computer marked the beginning of the modern Apple.

Afghan crisis- how the world sees the situation: What you need to know
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that the international community must remain engaged with Afghanistan and said Islamabad will continue to play a facilitative role to bring political solutions to the neighboring country.
After meeting with a delegation of Afghanistan leaders led by a former vice-president, he said that 'Pakistan is very clear on our position. we believe that a negotiated political settlement is the only way forward".
On the other side, the control of the Taliban in retaking the country has led Afghan Americans, former generals and leading statesmen to blame President Joe Biden for a hasty US withdrawal. But he appears to have the public on his side - for now.
The UN Security Council, under the Presidency of India, will meet again today around 7:30 pm to discuss the grim situation in Afghanistan after the Taliban’s takeover.
The militant group Hamas has congratulated the Taliban on their quick takeover of Afghanistan and the end of 20 years of presence of America in the country.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan seemed to endorse the Taliban on taking over the country by saying that Afghanistan has broken the 'shackles of slavery in the neighboring war-torn country.
The head of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's party said Monday that the withdrawal of Western troops from Afghanistan is the "biggest NATO debacle" since the founding of the alliance.
Where 60 countries of the world have denied supporting the Taliban
China is ready to deepen "friendly and cooperative" relations with Afghanistan, a government spokeswoman said Monday, after the Taliban seized control of the country.

Hundreds of gun rights supporters descended on the State Capitol Building in Tallahassee on Saturday, as part of a national rally aimed at pushing against efforts to pass stricter gun-control laws since the Parkland shooting.
“Make no mistake. Our gun rights are under attack. They’re under attack today,” said Mike McCalister, a retired Army Colonel.
Gun advocates warned that stripping citizens of their right to defend themselves is the first step toward complete governmental control.
Florida based pastor Dexter Sanders warned the crowd, “We’ve seen the evil histories of authoritarian governments in the past. It goes in and the first thing it does is it takes away our guns. Then the next thing it does is it takes away our speech. And the next thing you know, we’re living in oppression. Sounds like communism to me.”

Schneider, Josh. 2013. THE MEANEST BIRTHDAY GIRL. NY; Clarion. ISBN 978054783814144 [Suggested Grade Levels K – 3]
In this 48-page chapter book for beginning readers, birthday girl Dana receives an unexpected gift of a big white elephant from Anthony, a boy she has badly mistreated. Readers will laugh as caring for the oversized and demanding pet moves Dana from selfish to selfless. When she finds herself mistreated by another classmate, Dana displays a new self-awareness. Dana is moved to apologize for her actions; after accepting her apology, Anthony helps Dana realize just what to give the new class bully as a birthday gift. The cycle, readers can see, will continue.
In five short chapters, Schneider spins a simple story that will engage children with humor, kid-behavior that rings true, and a cleverly satisfying conclusion. His quirky water color illustrations depict cartoony characters, which are occasionally likable and always authentic.
This story provides an opportunity to discuss empathy with young children. You may want to allow them to share experiences they may have had in which they felt mistreated or even bullied by peers.

Poses such as this one that involve twisting your body mass and improve circulation to your internal organs. Some of the studies included in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine suggest that improved circulation, particularly to the pancreas, could help improve glucose sensitivity. Hold the pose, with your right arm against your left knee and twisting to the right, for 3 to 5 breaths, and then repeat with your left arm against your right knee while twisting to the left. A precaution: Twisting poses are generally not advised for people with high blood pressure, so you may want to skip these next two if you suffer from hypertension.

Dhan Bahadur Fadera, the health assistant at Rugin Health Post, says that the plight of women in Humla, Mugu, Jumla, Kalikot and Dolpa districts of northwestern Nepal is the same. “I estimate that 80% of the women here deliver their babies in cowsheds, which is why the infant and maternal mortality rates have not gone down like in the rest of the country,” says Fadera, who has worked all over Karnali Province.
Chinkala Chadara of Hyanglu village of Mugu delivered her baby in her cowshed this month despite living next door to a health post. “We do not go to health posts; none of the women I know are taken there,” she says simply. Even if the mothers deliver in a health facility, they have to go to the shed when they come home with the baby.
“We tell them that it is not right to stay in cowsheds, but they don’t listen to us,” says Chiranjivi Shahi, head of Swamikartik Khapar Rural Municipality.

He may have dated high-profile female celebrities in the past, but Harry Style's isn't here to put a label on his sexuality.
The former One Direction singer who has just released his first solo album, has opened up about his personal life in a new interview with The Sun.
When asked about sexuality in pop music, Styles, 23 responded: “Being in a creative field, it’s important to be progressive. People doing stuff like that is great.
“It’s weird for me — everyone should just be who they want to be. It’s tough to justify somebody having to answer to someone else about stuff like that.
The 'Sign Of The Times' singer was then asked if he had ever felt the need to label his sexuality.
“No, I’ve never felt the need to really. No.
“I don’t feel like it’s something I’ve ever felt like I have to explain about myself.”
Styles is said to be dating a blogger known as 'Naked Chef', Tess Ward.

She continued, “don’t feel like I’ve been myself for a decade, in a way, which I don't want to get into.”
Jolie said she started acting less “seven years ago, only taking jobs that didn’t require long shoots. We had a lot of healing to do. We’re still finding our footing.”
She and Brad Pitt separated in 2016, and their legal disputes are still pending.
Jolie considers Atelier Jolie as a part of her healing process.
“I think part of this has also been therapeutic for me—to work in a creative space with people you trust and to rediscover yourself,” she said. “
Adding, “I’m hoping to change many aspects of my life. And this is the forward-facing one.”

It was reported from a source in Singapore that a crawler crane with tower attachment has collapsed at a construction job site on the 18th Feb. The crawler crane was shifting it crane’s position when the crawler tower and luffing jib suddenly collapsed.
There weren’t any issues with the access which are flat and adequate for the crane movement and hence it could be deduced that there could be a mechanical failure of the crawler crane boom.
From the photos, the crane boom has been detached from the base boom’s pin socket welding points.
The tower boom has fallen onto the outriggers of a rough terrain crane that was parking at the rear of the lane. The crane operator was on the crane when the boom suddenly dropped on the outriggers and it was a close call for the operator as the fallen boom was just less than one metre away from him.
The incident has been reported to the Ministry Of Manpower (MOM) and the investigation is ongoing.


Seventy-four proposals submitted for Wandsworth's Nine Elms pedestrian bridge competition
This week, the seventy-four entries submitted to the architectural competition for the proposed new Nine Elms pedestrian and cycle bridge have been revealed. Innovative, challenging and exciting, the sheer number of designs show what a hugely significant project this is for South London, linking Pimlico with Nine Elms, with the bridge set to land adjacent to the new US Embassy. It is a setting that will resonate on the world stage.
The bridge will be both a crucial transport link and will become one of London’s landmarks. The architectural practices cannot be named under EU procurement rules but it is understood that they are ‘World renowned’ and include up and coming practices from the UK and overseas. The successful design will represent a rare opportunity to make an indelible mark on the Capital.
For us, as real estate advisors specialising in South Bank, the bridge is significant as it should hasten the market's expansion south and west.
The last two years have seen unprecedented levels of demand for office space in South Bank, resulting in Take-up approximately double the long-term average. However, the vast majority of office stock remains concentrated in London Bridge and Bankside.
Our view is that companies will continue to look to locate south of the river as an alternative to the City and West End, but the search will extend beyond SE1. The scale and mix of development at Nine Elms should create a vibrant and diverse business district, with the Nine Elms bridge creating an important link to Pimlico.
We are aware that City of Westminster planners have some reservations around the local impact for Pimlico, but we would urge them to embrace the opportunity that this proposed iconic river crossing affords for London.


South Korean millennials battle to get hold of Pokémon snacks
They may have grown up, but their tastes have not evolved
YOON SANG-SOON leaves a 7-11 in Seoul, downcast. He showed up at 11pm, after the convenience store is restocked, but the 27-year-old missed out. No matter. Earlier, after waiting an hour for a delivery van to arrive at another shop, he had found the prize that millennial South Koreans are hunting for obsessively: Pokémon bread.
“This is all because of nostalgia shared by people in their 20s and 30s,” he explains. In 1998 SPC Samlip, a confectioner, launched more than ten varieties of cake, each packet sporting characters from Pokémon (short for “pocket monsters”), an empire of games, TV shows and merchandise, with one of 151 different stickers inside. Kids queued to buy “Team Rocket’s chocolate rolls” and “Ghastly’s peeling bread”, because, in the words of Pokémon’s self-serving official slogan, “You gotta catch ’em all.”
This February Pokémon bread was back in shops after a 16-year hiatus. The cakes have since become scarcer than teeth of a combusken (a flaming chicken-like Pokémon). Production lines have been running round the clock, but Samlip can make enough only to supply each convenience store with two a day. Catching them is daunting—your correspondent gave up after 17 shops.
So aspiring Pokémon masters travel far and wide to stalk delivery vans and launch late-night “raids” on shops. Even RM, a member of the K-pop behemoth BTS, has complained about the difficulty of finding them. In a lively secondary market some stickers go for more than 30 times the price of the snack cake.
Some shopkeepers have taken advantage, adding heavy markups or bundling the cakes together with less popular products. Others have put up hand-drawn posters of Pokémon characters, explaining that they are out of stock. But many report that millennials’ nostalgia is more toxic than the most poisonous Pokémon. Battle-ready Pokémon-hunters curse and scream at them for not having the cakes. One incident reportedly got so out of hand that six police officers turned up.
Mostly, it is glossy, sugary fun. “Collecting Pokémon bread and stickers has become kind of a meme,” says Mr Yoon, who visits at least a couple of shops a day. Undeterred by the empty shelves, he heads home, ready to hunt for wild Pokémon in the tall grass of the convenience stores again tomorrow.

Enhance your culinary creations with our signature vinegars and dressings. Our unique flavours are sure to wow your taste buds and make your dishes stand out. With just a few simple ingredients, you'll elevate your dishes from ordinary to extraordinary.
Vinegars and Dressings: A Burst of Flavour for Every Dish
Vinegars and dressings are two kitchen staples that add a burst of flavour and a hint of acidity to any dish. Whether you are making a simple salad, marinade, or sauce, vinegar and dressings are essential ingredients that can make all the difference. In this blog post, we will explore what vinegars and dressings are, how they are made, and the best ways to enjoy them.
What are Vinegars and Dressings?
Vinegar is a sour liquid that is made by fermenting alcohol. It is typically made from wine, beer, cider, or other fermented liquids. Vinegar is a versatile ingredient that can be used in cooking, cleaning, and even for medicinal purposes. There are many different types of vinegar available, each with its own unique flavour and acidity level.
Dressing, on the other hand, is a sauce or emulsion that is used to enhance the flavour of salads, vegetables, and other dishes. Dressings are typically made with vinegar, oil, and other ingredients such as herbs, spices, and mustard. They can be creamy or vinaigrette style, and they come in a wide variety of flavours.
How are Vinegars and Dressings Made?
Vinegar is made through a process called fermentation. During fermentation, the alcohol in the liquid is converted into acetic acid by bacteria known as Acetobacter. This process can take several weeks to several months, depending on the type of vinegar being produced. The resulting liquid is then bottled and sold as vinegar.
Dressings are typically made by combining vinegar, oil, and other ingredients such as herbs, spices, and mustard. The ingredients are blended together until they emulsify into a smooth, creamy texture. The resulting dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks and can be used to enhance the flavour of a variety of dishes.
How are Vinegars and Dressings Best Enjoyed?
Vinegars and dressings are incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide range of dishes. Here are some of the best ways to enjoy them:
Salads: Dressings are an essential ingredient for any salad. Whether you prefer a vinaigrette or a creamy dressing, the right combination of vinegar, oil, and other ingredients can make a salad burst with flavour.
Marinades: Vinegars are an excellent ingredient for marinades. They help to tenderize meat and infuse it with flavour. Combine vinegar with oil, herbs, and spices for a marinade that will take your grilled meats to the next level.
Sauces: Vinegars and dressings can be used to make a wide range of sauces. From tangy barbecue sauce to sweet and sour sauce, vinegar can add a hint of acidity that balances out the other flavours.
Vegetables: Drizzle dressings over roasted vegetables for a burst of flavour. Balsamic vinegar is particularly delicious when paired with roasted vegetables.
Sandwiches: Dressings can be used to enhance the flavour of sandwiches. Whether you prefer a classic vinaigrette or a creamy dressing, a little bit goes a long way in making your sandwich burst with flavour.
In conclusion, vinegars and dressings are essential ingredients that can elevate the flavour of any dish. Whether you are making a salad, marinade, sauce, or sandwich, the right combination of vinegar and dressing can make all the difference. Experiment with different types of vinegar and dressings to find the perfect flavour profile for your dishes.Read less

Hanley Ramirez blasted two homers and drove in four runs as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat Arizona 7-6, becoming the first Major League Baseball club to claim a playoff spot.
Thursday's contest had its share of ups and downs, just like the Dodgers' season, as they squandered a comfortable lead then rallied from a three-run deficit for the victory.
A.J. Ellis' leadoff homer in the eighth inning snapped the 6-6 tie, allowing the Dodgers to claim their first division title in four years.

Ice Jam Pushes Water Out Of Cheyenne River
March 14, 2011, 9:40 AM
RAPID CITY, SD -
Melting snow and ice are creating flooding concerns across South Dakota.
On the Cheyenne River, large ice jams are pushing water out of the riverbank and flooding land in the area.
Todd Trask's ranch is on the Meade County/Pennington County line and is dealing with flooding. Trask says they are calving right now but it's a struggle because the ranch is underwater.
One of Trask's friends took pictures of the area Saturday morning from an airplane. The aerial view gives you a better idea of the damage that can be caused by an ice jam.

For Comfort Food and a Good Cuppa
By Hiranmayii Awli Mohanan
The success of Bean Brothers’ lagship café in Sunway amansara, prompted the brand to open its second outlet at The Linc KL. Differing from the cavernous interior of the first Bean Brothers café, the one at The Linc KL possesses its own personality, from its bright, sprawling space to ubiquitous placements of verdure, creating a humble oasis in the middle of the city.
Bean Brothers first and foremost, identifies itself as a coffee roasting company that offers specialty coffee. There are four different coffees to choose from, two being signature blends and the other two are its monthly single-origin coffee. The former offers two varieties, the Black Suit blend and Velvet White blend. Both these blends have different characteristics where the Black Suit is bolder and nuttier in taste while the Velvet White leans towards floral and fruity. It’s important to note that the Black Suit is a blend of Brazilian and Columbian coffee while Velvet White is founded from Ethiopian beans.
These signature blends possess similar taste profiles throughout the year while the single origin changes every month. The reason behind this is that coffee is an agricultural produce, garnered from different parts of the world where it is harvested at different times— so it’s very seasonal in that sense. Bean Brothers receive fresh coffee beans on a monthly basis, subsequently undergoing quality and taste checks before presenting it to customers. Signature blends are served with the espresso machine while the single origins are open to different methods of coffee brewing such as aeropress, French press, V60, clever and these methods will highlight different characteristics of the coffee. We now have a new spot to enjoy a good cuppa. We found that the composition of our cappuccino was a perfect ratio of coffee to cream, contributing to a smooth taste.
The fare at Bean Brothers is every bit as comforting and good as its coffee, translating the personality of its chef and the essence of its brand. The menu here sees a simple, compact list of Western and Asian influences that are easy for customers to choose from.
You can’t go wrong with a Caesar salad. Bean Brothers’ interpretation of this famed dish replaces boiled egg with onsen egg and includes crunchy bits of smoked duck chips and grilled chicken. My colleague Eyda who detests anything green and healthy, found the salad appetising so that’s a testament to the quality and flavour of the Caesar salad.
SECRET SAUCE NOODLE
This Asian noodle is simple, comforting and very flavourful. A secret sauce drenches the strings of noodle and sitting atop it is stir-fried minced chicken. Apparently, the secret sauce comprises more than 10 different ingredients. We don’t know what’s in the sauce but we can attest that the ingredients used contribute to a well-rounded, mouth- watering dish.
MUTTON CURRY PASTA
This was a first for us and certainly not the last. We could smell the aroma of the pasta even before it arrived. Al dente spaghetti was cooked with cumin and cream, boosted by piquancy from minced mutton, curry leaves and shavings of parmesan. It exuded beautiful flavours of mutton curry. Needless to say, we left the plate spotless.
TOMATO CLAMS STEW
From the big plates came the tomato clam stew. We can’t emphasise enough the comforting feelings a humble dish like this evoked. Whether shared with friends or indulged on a cheat day, the fresh flavour of the mussels was enhanced by the homemade tomato sauce amalgamated with white wine. To garnish, two crisp baguettes are placed on the side of the plate for dipping into the savoury sauce.

- Niger’s military junta on Tuesday requested that West Africa’s regional court order the lifting of sanctions imposed on the country over the summer.
- ECOWAS, West Africa’s regional bloc, joined numerous other international governments in imposing sanctions on Niamey following a successful coup against the elected government of Mohamed Bazoum.
- “There is no sector of the Nigerien society that has not been affected by these sanctions,” Younkaila Yaye, a government lawyer, argued at the Abuja, Nigeria, hearing.
Niger’s junta on Tuesday asked West Africa’s regional court to order the lifting of sanctions imposed on the country by its neighbors following a July coup in which the democratically elected president was deposed.
“There is no sector of the Nigerien society that has not been affected by these sanctions” which have caused untold economic hardship in one of the world’s poorest countries, Younkaila Yaye, one of the junta’s lawyers, argued at the hearing in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
After elite soldiers toppled Niger’s President Mohamed Bazoum, the country faced economic sanctions from West Africa’s regional bloc, ECOWAS, as well as countries including the United States that had provided aid for health,

Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems is being awarded a contract modification to exercise options for the procurement of technical insertion (TI)-16 Acoustic Rapid Commercial Off-the-Shelf Insertion (A-RCI) systems, pre-cable kits, and A-RCI sonar engineering services.
The cost-plus-incentive-fee modification, valued at around 102 million, was awarded by the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) located at Washington Navy Yard in Washington DC.
Fiscal 2018 shipbuilding and conversion (Navy)funding;, fiscal 2018 research and development test and evaluation funding; and fiscal 2018 other procurement (Navy) funding will be obligated at the time of award and will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
Acoustic Rapid Commercial Off-the-Shelf Insertion (A-RCI)
Work will be performed in Manassas, Virginia (95 percent); and Clearwater, Florida (5 percent), and is expected to be completed by December 2018.
Lockheed Martin introduced a new submarine sonar system called A-RCI (Acoustic Rapid Commercial off-the-shelf Insertion), which used commercial computer equipment installed in open architecture.
The system, which allowed for frequent hardware and software upgrades, was highly effective, offering improved acoustic quieting measures at a far lower cost than previously possible.
A-RCI uses a progression of technology insertions (TI) to enhance sonar signal processing without altering existing towed array, hull array, and sphere array sonar equipment aboard fast-attack, ballistic missile, and cruise-missile submarines. A-RCI has been through four phases of upgrades since the late ’90s, and the innovative system has now been installed on the entire U.S. submarine fleet.
Detecting and localizing, quiet subs in the especially noisy shallow-water sonar field has made updates to the A-RCI submarine sonar system all the more critical. Lockheed Martin’s continuing refinements bolster detection capabilities in littoral waters and include the sub fleet’s new Large Aperture Bow, TB-29 Towed Array and Low Cost Conformal Array.
One of the latest A-RCI technology insertions, TI-16, seeks to provide vast improvements in acoustic sensing aboard U.S. submarines without changing the sonar transducer sensors through the rapid insertion of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based digital signal processing hardware and software.

COLUMBIA — The Missouri Senate passed a congressional redistricting map late Thursday night before adjourning for the year.
The map, which must now be approved by Gov. Mike Parson, would split Boone County into two districts.
Currently, all of Boone County is in District 4.
The new map would keep the northern half of the county in District 4, but move the southern half to District 3.
Boone County Clerk Brianna Lennon will be responsible for executing all the changes for voters in the county.
"I would expect as we're getting closer to the August election and people are getting their ballots, we would be putting out more information on social media, through press releases, on what to expect," Lennon said. "Because they will see different candidates on their ballot than they may have had in the past."
Managing the new map for the congressional districts will also merge with the state's House maps and city of Columbia ward maps.
"Our role in the process is layering all the different districts map on top of each other, then that allows us to draw where our precinct lines are," she said.
May 24 is a substantial deadline. Every district must finalize the list of items they want to see on the August ballot: the primary election, Columbia's third ward runoff election, and still being decided — roll carts.
"It's not going to be major changes to anything else," she said. "We just need to make sure you get the right ballot as a voter, and in order to do that, we need to have all the mapping correct."
That is why, while we have not yet received the bill, my office has already started the review process of the proposed map. We will be prepared to take action soon after the bill is sent to my desk on May 18. (3/3)— Governor Mike Parson (@GovParsonMO) May 13, 2022
Gov. Parson tweeted his support of the bill on Friday. He said his office is ready to act once he receives the final copy on May 18.


Low-Wage Workers Rally In Olympia
Low-wage workers picketed and rallied across the country Thursday in support of a $15 per hour minimum wage.
On the steps of the Washington state capitol, a group of about 50 people gathered, mostly minimum wage earners who carried signs saying "Strike poverty." They’re calling for a $15 per hour base wage in Washington state.
Speaker of the House Frank Chopp, a Democrat, indicated that he would like to move a minimum wage bill in the upcoming 2015 legislative session. But with Republicans in charge of the Washington Senate, it seems likely that that effort would face roadblocks going forward.
Prior to Thursday afternoon's rally, Washington House Democrats held a work session on the minimum wage and paid sick leave.

They waited until she was alone and then they ambushed her.
The two men surrounded Maria Guadarrama and then stabbed her, ripped her shirt, robbed her and yelled that they didn’t like Mexicans and that Mexicans didn’t belong here, she says. One man had a swastika tattooed on his shoulder.
By now you’ve probably heard of this Fourth of July attack that occurred inside a Ladera Ranch community clubhouse, a crime that so far this year has been the most violent hate-related attack in Orange County, according to Rusty Kennedy, executive director of the Orange County Human Relations Commission.
The suspects have yet to be caught, so we don’t know their names but we know their game; we know their type, and one thing is clear: They’rethe ones who don’t belong here; they’rethe ones who don’t have a place in our community.
You might think “This could never happen in my neighborhood or in my city,” but think again.
Attacks like this one are becoming more commonplace. Look around the country and you’ll see signs of the escalating violence against immigrants, and specifically Latino immigrants like Guadarrama.
From the July 2008 killing of Mexican immigrant Luis Ramirez in Shenandoah, Pa., to the November 2008 stabbing death of Ecuadorian immigrant Marcelo Lucero in New York, it’s clear the violence has escalated. Some experts say we’re experiencing an epidemic of attacks and violence against Latinos.
How did we get to this point? What would embolden two people to carry out such a vicious and pointed attack against a woman like Guadarrama, who was simply doing her work as a custodian when she was assaulted?
Kevin O’Grady, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for Orange County and Long Beach, cites several reasons, including the crash of the economy and the election of President Barack Obama, which he says has served as a rallying cry for white supremacists.
In May, the Orange County Human Relations Commission reported that overall hate crimes fell slightly from 2007 to 2008, but hate crimes against African Americans, Jews and Latinos rose. Thus far for 2009, reports compiled by the ADL show that hate crimes and incidents in Orange County are up about 150 percent compared to last year.
“Both the increase in the vitriol in the rhetoric and the acceptability of it has created an environment where people who might be prone to attack immigrants feel they have the go-ahead to do it,” says O’Grady.
But just as responsible for this escalation is the nasty rhetoric that has plagued our airwaves over the past few years as the immigration debate has intensified. We’ve all heard the anti-illegal immigrant bashing on television, on the radio, on the Internet.
Instead of having a civil discussion on immigration, the debate has degraded into a dressed-up excuse for bigotry, says Brian Levin, an attorney and hate crime expert.
“What the policy discussions have allowed is some folks to feel that they have a license to go after immigrants, not on policy issues but on ethnic and white nationalist issues,” says Levin, who is director of the Center for the Study of Hate & Extremism and a professor of criminal justice at Cal State San Bernardino.
“The rhetoric is horrendous, and what’s happening is it just becomes a flood of bigotry and misinformation.”
So instead of advancing the debate, these verbal attacks motivate extremists to go so far as to declare “open season” on immigrants. And as ADL’s national director Abraham H. Foxman pointed out in 2006: “…it only takes one individual with hate in his heart to act on these notions.”
But it likewise only takes one person and one act of courage to begin addressing this problem. What can you do? One of the solutions O’Grady suggests is simple: If someone you know tells a bigoted joke or makes a prejudiced remark, take them aside.
“People underestimate the impact that they can have just by saying to somebody ‘You know, I’m not comfortable with that comment,'” says O’Grady, who also stresses the importance of reporting hate crimes and incidents to the police.
It’s not easy to speak out like this, but clearly it’s necessary, especially here in Orange County, which the ADL’s research shows is home to the largest white supremacist gang population in the nation.
These extremists are the minority in our county of more than 3 million, but whether it’s swastikas chalked onto a Huntington Beach school yard or the attack of a custodian in Ladera Ranch, it’s time we sent a clear message that there is no place for hate on our streets, in our homes, or in our hearts.

Winning people for Christ
Bible Mission is actively involved in evangelism, discipleship and training ministry. We invite you to partner with us by exploring the opportunities below.
People need God. Thousands of believers on the mission field are burning with the desire to personally share their testimony of faith with other people. To do this, they need an important tool: a set of evangelistic literature packages.
Gospel for unreached nations
There are only a few isolated Christians among these nations and ethnic groups. But the people need God! Distinctive aspects of their culture, identity, language and religion require an individual approach to reach them with the Gospel.
God calls missionaries who, through specific ministries, take His Word to the people. Missionaries and their families are highly devoted to this task. They need prayerful support, as well as equipment and resources for ministry.
Small, active churches on the mission field have the burning desire to proclaim the Gospel. Often, they are limited in their possibilities and resources. Many of them don’t have a place to meet, a place people can attend to hear the Word of God.
Christian Summer Camps
It is the desire of the churches on the mission field to reach out to children with the Gospel. They need to hear about Jesus Christ and His love, so that they can carry it on into their families.
Independent Bible Correspondence School
More and more people are looking for opportunities to study the Bible independently and individually. They need Bible courses to systematically teach them knowledge in the Word of God and lead them into practical discipleship.
In many countries of the mission field, evangelistic activities are facing more and more restrictions. In this context, the work in small groups becomes more important. They need to be equipped with material for Bible study and work with seekers.
Next Generation Leaders
The change of generations is an important issue today. In the past, in many churches on the mission field there was a lack of discipleship in the Biblical sense. The development of the evangelical movement today needs an investment into young people.
In the former Soviet Union, children from families at risk are the ones who suffer from the poverty of their parents who often are alcohol or drug addicted. The state support provided for orphans is kept at a minimum and is absolutely insufficient.
On the mission field, there are many children growing up in families at risk. Their parents – addicted to drugs and alcohol – cannot care for them. These kids need a place of refuge that protects them from becoming street kids.
Joy of Christmas
Not everywhere can children experience the joy of Christmas. In countries of Eastern Europe, Christmas gifts are but a dream for children in orphanages or in families at risk. This is why we want to bring them joy and hope through Christmas packages.
Many widows in countries of the former Soviet Union live in distress. Their small retirement pensions are not even enough to buy food. Often, widows with children and elderly people living alone are incredibly desitute.
People living in distress, people affected by disasters and conflicts and who lost their homes, children from poor families – they all need emergency relief to survive, and ongoing assistance to bring relief in distress.
Natural disasters, fire, accidents, political conflicts – people affected often loose everything in an instant. Most of the times, there are no insurance structures in countries of the mission field, or they are just too expensive for the people.

AgriCompact - Model 56 - Round/Square Bales Biogas Dryers
This COMPACT HAY DRYER with air recirculation dries 56 bales of forage, and accommodates either round and/or square bales. The plant in metallic construction is arranged in 4 rows and can be loaded and unloaded from both sides with a telescoping loader. This COMPACT HAY DRYER is equipped with an elelctric motor which powers the fan. This model uses hot water at 80° C (176° F) from the cogeneration of the BIOGAS plant and it passes through 2 radiators inside the Hay Dryer COMPACT. Supporting the 2 radiators, the Hay Dryer COMPACT is equipped with a combustion chamber in the event that the BIOGAS plant does not supply the necessary thermal energy to the drying process.
The large sliding doors (5 m each) allow a big space for loading and unloading and therefore facilitate and accelerate the whole loading/unloading operation for the workers in a safe work environment.
The roof of the drying zone is formed of corrugated steel sheets which are pre-painted with dark brown color. Further more there are 4 skylights in polycarbonate for a better radiation and illumination of the drying zone.


B’nai B’rith International, whose dedicated Office of United Nations Affairs has led Jewish communal engagement with the U.N. for decades, strongly commends the world body’s Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for removing Iran from the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) for the remainder of a term that was to continue until 2026.
A radical theocracy and the leading state sponsor of terrorism, Iran is among the world’s single greatest abusers of women’s rights, and human rights generally, domestically and abroad. Its presence on CSW has been one of too many outrageous examples of tyrannical regimes holding positions within important U.N. entities.
The vote to remove Iran, prompted by the United States and likeminded countries, passed by a vote of 29 in favor to 8 against, with 16 abstentions. Palestinians, among whom Islamic Jihad and Hamas terrorists are beneficiaries of Iranian sponsorship, were among those arguing against the step.
B’nai B’rith, which enjoys official accreditation at ECOSOC and other U.N. bodies globally, thanks the U.S. and every country that signaled fundamental solidarity with women in Iran and internationally by denying the Tehran regime the undeserved legitimacy of CSW membership. Other U.N. bodies legitimizing rights-abusing dictatorships while serially demonizing democracies should follow suit.

Island of Seil gets new wastewater system
A new wastewater system has been announced for the east of Scotland.
Scottish Water will build a new £8m development on the island of Seil, reports the Press and Journal.
The new plant is designed to connect the remaining 160 homes in the area to the public network so no wastewater will be discharged into Seil Sound.
Scottish Water said that the once the development is completed, the area of sea between the island and the mainland will be dramatically improved.
The company says it also means that the extra homes which will join the network will no longer need to use septic tanks.
Chris Toop, regional manager for Scottish Water, told the newspaper: “This is one of the biggest projects of its kind and we are confident that it will lead to a cleaner, fresher environment in a very beautiful corner of Argyll.”
The project will begin building work this week and is scheduled for completion in spring 2009.
Scottish Water has also been displaying its plans for the new Glencorse Water Treatment Works. The designs are on show for public consultation.
