South Korea-backed CGV Vietnam has filed a lawsuit against its landlord Lapen Investment Advisory JSC for failing to accommodate its request for more lenient lease arrangements due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
|CGV Vietnam and Lapen failed to reach a common voice |
District 1 People’s Court in Ho Chi Minh City has just admitted the dispute between the cinema giant (plaintiff) and Lapen Investment Advisory JSC (defendant), the developer of Lapen Center.
According to the lawsuit, CGV Vietnam on November 21, 2017, signed a land leasing contract with the Lapen Center shopping mall (Vung Tau) to open a cineplex for the duration of 20 years at a leasing cost of VND413 million($17,956) per month.
The two sides cooperated without issue until the pandemic interrupted the performance of the cineplex.
The cinema company stated that at the time they signed the contract, they could not foresee the pandemic. CGV added that it tried various solutions but was unable to improve its finances.
On October 29, 2020, CGV Vietnam sent a document to Lapen proposing to renegotiate the lease contract, with the aim of reducing financial damage. According to local media, the cinema operator requested reducing lease to 8 per cent of its revenue in the shopping mall from December 1, 2020, to February 28, 2021, which would be followed by talks on a mutually acceptable monthly payment. According to the proposal, in case they cannot reach a common voice, either side could choose to unilaterally terminate the contract without having to pay compensation.
However, since the end of February, the two sides could not reach an agreement. Therefore, the South Korean-invested company filed a lawsuit against the landlord, requesting the court to put an end to the contract as there had been a material change in circumstances. CGV Vietnam claims to no longer have an obligation to pay a fine or compensations to Lapen. It has also decided to return the premises to Lapen and is requesting the deposit of VND2.2 billion ($95.652) from the company, according to the document.
Due to the health crisis, the cinema company has been struggling to maintain operations in Vietnam. According to Chang Bok Sang, chairman of CJ Vietnam which directly operates CGV Vietnam, the cineplexes have born the worst damage of all 15 company members in the country.
The global performance of CGV cineplexes has also been poor. According to newswire Business Korea, its debt-to-equity ratio soared by nearly 200 percentage points in three months to 845 per cent in the first quarter of last year, with its total capital falling 22 per cent during the same period. Compared to a year ago, sales were halved and net losses increased from KRW85.7 billion ($70.6 million) to KRW118.6 billion ($97.76 million).

Shri Kundkundacharya was a great Jain Acharya in Digamber tradition, about 2000 years ago.
Pujya Shri Atmanandji's search for truth led him, at the age of 23, to the book "Kundkundacharya's 3 Ratna" (written by Gopaldas Patel). Reading this book, he felt that the philosophy of Kundkundacharya is the answer to his quest. He recognized the higher purpose of life in purifying the soul. His life was changed forever. He also experienced some kind of bond of indebtedness towards Kundkundacharya from previous births (ઋણાનુબંધ).
Kundkundacharya was born in 51 BC, in the town of Konda Kund of Andhra Pradesh, India. He became the Jain monk (Sadhu) at the age of 11 and Acharya at the age of 44. He lived for 95 years and died in 44 AD in Kundadri hills (Karnatak, South India). He conferred monkhood to about 700 people during his life time. He is known by various names: Kundkundacharya, Elacharya, Vakragrivacharya, Gruddhapichchhacharya and Padmanandiacharya.
Kundkundacharya spent most of his life in and around Ponnur Hills in TamilNadu (about 120 km from Chennai/Madras). This is the place from where it is believed that because of his vast knowledge, purity of soul and resultant super human powers, he went to Mahavideh Kshetra, an another world, where the present Tirthankar Simandhar Swami resides and preaches. There he got the opportunity to listen to the preaching of Simandhar Swami. This further deepened his spiritual knowledge. After returning, he wrote 84 scriptures describing the true nature of the soul, Karmas, their interactions, world, and nature of basic six elements and clear path of salvation.
Unfortunately, only about a dozen scriptures are currently available from his 84. However, what is available now, is more than enough for aspirants and truth seekers to walk on the path of salvation. Some of his most popular and very useful scriptures are:
He reasoned that the worldly souls like us, lack proper vision of reality and are ignorant of their true nature of the soul, resulting in wrong beliefs and improper action. Consequently, these worldly souls are wandering eternally in birth & death cycles. For the spiritual benefit of such ignorant souls He propounded the doctrines of Bhagwan Mahavir in its correct perspective.
He is so highly respected that his name is often taken after Mahavir Swami Bhagwan and First Guru Gautam Swami.

Review: The Who - "Endless Wire"
The Who: Endless Wire.
First of all, this is not, as has been commonly reported by music journalists who really should know better, the first new recording by the Who since 1982. They recorded two songs for a compilation a few years ago, they recorded "Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting" for Two Rooms, and they recorded two songs for Townshend's rock opera The Iron Man.
The obvious joke here, with the recent passing of bassist John Entwistle, is to refer to this Townshend-Daltrey collaboration as The Two, and there's some truth in that. Townshend, in particular, plays an awful lot of instruments on this album, including more than a few drums, and Daltrey has been very open about his desire to sing anything Townshend-penned. But in the final analysis, this is a much more fitting "last" Who album than 1982's It's Hard.
The songs range from the sublime ("In the Ether") to the disposable ("Black Widow's Eyes") on an album that unfortunately opens with a completely forgettable track, "Fragments," which itself opens with a weak-sounding reprise of the "Baba O'Riley" opening. But this is overall not only a very good album, it's an above-average Who album, which is high praise indeed. Its introspective moments are reminiscent of the best of the underrated The Who by Numbers, and the mini-opera "Wire & Glass" which concludes the disc have moments that recall the energy and innovation of Quadrophenia.
As with the last two decades of Townshend's songwriting, even the hard rockers are intimate and confessional in nature. Most interesting is Townshend's fixation on issues of faith and religion. "Two Thousand Years" and "God Speaks of Marty Robbins" are gorgeous acoustic questions, but the album's real gem is "A Man in a Purple Dress," which castigates high-church religion with derision and affection. And the tiny little "You Stand By Me" reads as a love letter from Townshend to Daltrey, who supported him through recent allegations of child pornography (for which Townshend was eventually cleared).
Townshend's acoustic guitar playing is the best it's ever been, and he spices it up with touches of mandolin here and there. Daltrey sounds old in places, but still has that growl, and I'm pretty sure he could kick my ass all over the place. The production qualities are something of a disappointment; there's more hiss and noise on this CD than on the album I just recorded in my spare bedroom. But it all combines to reveal Townshend as a flawed, broken man, vulnerable and divided by ego and self-loathing, surety and doubt. This is what all of the best Who albums do. In all, Who fans should not be disappointed--at least once they get past that weak first track.

Tachina is so delicious and so good for you! It is rich in minerals and one of the best sources of calcium. Double or triple the recipe and have for the week! (Just keep in fridge and then bring to room temperature)
Only add salt at the very end or when ready to serve. Chicken stock is the staple and base to every great soup. A soup can be ready in minutes if it has a good chicken stock as the base.
There is nothing like a good turkey sandwich! It needs to be great bread that is toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. It needs to have the right amount of bread to turkey ratio and lots of flavor. I know there is an extra step here with placing the lettuce and avocado into a bowl and dressing it before putting it in the sandwich but this little trick is the secret to all sandwiches that have lettuce in.
This salad is so simple yet so fragrant and meaty in flavor! If you have a vegan coming to your meal this is a great dish to serve. Add marinated red peppers for a color and flavor pop!

Hubli: All-rounder Abhishek Nayar, who led his team`s bowling attack with a four-wicket haul, said not giving too many boundaries to the West Indies A batsmen helped India A restrict the visitors to 268 all out in their first innings of the third unofficial Test Series here on Wednesday.
"We had a meeting during the lunch break. They were going great guns and only thing was to restrict and not give away easy boundaries. They were playing aggressive shots rather than playing patiently," he told reporters at the end of the first day`s play of third unofficial Test here.
Asked what went through his mind when WI A were surging ahead with 175 for three at tea, Kulkarni said he adopted aggressive approach towards the batsmen and didn`t think about taking wickets.
On his performance, Kulkarni said it could have been better if he had ended with a five-for figure.
Talking about the pitch, Kulkarni said the wicket was initially doing a bit but slowed down as the day`s game progressed. "The only thing was to stick to the basics and bowl proper line and length," he added.
He also denied that the ball was reversing because it had gone soft on a slow pitch.
"The only thing to do was hit the ball as hard as I could (to get some purchase out of it)," the Mumbaikar said.
Replying to a query, Kulkarni said the first aim of the team would be to play out the initial overs and score as many as possible when the overnight batsmen V A Jagadeesh and Gautam Gambhir resume their innings tomorrow.
"We are playing positively and looking to win the match (and level the series 1-1)," he said.

SHrEe: I am more than just my body
8 October 2017, Gandhi Hall, Lenasia, Johannesburg
“SHrEe, the latest production by Sarvavidya Natyaalaya (SVN) is an unravelling nnd narrative thread of current social issues faced by women in contemporary South Africa. With the sub-theme of I am more than just my body, SHrEe takes its audience back to the time of the Mahabharata and the infamous moment of the disrobing of Draupadi. Threading into this narrative it moves to the present moment, and uses spoken word and contemporary dance movement to retell stories of violence and violation against women. The production slowly unpacks the various emotional stages that women, who have experienced some form of violation or abuse, go through. SHrEe aims to reveal the primal force within these women, the goddess in various stages of being, in various stages of womanhood. From the ferocious rage of the violated woman (Kali), to collective teaching, learning and fighting, where words and voice are weapons (Saraswati), to the ironies of how society treats women, whether married or widowed (Lakshmi) and finally it moves to the claiming back of space, of goddess/woman in a state of equilibrium, who is neither less nor greater than her male counterpart (Ardhanareswara).
ShrEe gives space to female voices who claim their emotional, physical and spiritual power back. “In a country where femicide and rape culture are so rife that it has become a norm, this production aims to bring these narratives and discussions into the public domain through the use of dance” (Chhiba, 2017). Abuse and violation should never be acceptable, therefore I am more than just my body speaks to many variations of abuse but also allows for empowered voices to be heard.”

This article looks at the use of Hindu iconography within South African visual art practice and its relation to race, identity, politics and womanhood in the work of Reshma Chhiba. It draws primarily on work from the 2013 exhibition entitled The Two Talking Yonis: Reshma Chhiba in conversation with Nontobeko Ntombela, and discusses Chhiba’s use of the image of the goddess Kali, the concept of yoni, the use of Bharatanatyam and understandings of feminine energy in relation to womanhood. It also threads a narrative of Chhiba’s ancestry through a poetic description of her grandmother’s journey from India to South Africa, and the embodiment of Kali as a form of defiance not only in her work, but also in her grandmother.

in Chatsworth, Grey Highlands, Southgate, West Grey
May 17, 2021
A natural grave site in the Carolina woods.
BY JOHN BUTLER FOR SOUTHGREY.CA — Grey Highlands may become the fifth community in Ontario to host a natural burial cemetery, and the first to have it as a freestanding cemetery (i.e., not part of a larger conventional cemetery). Canada’s only stand-alone natural burial site is in B.C.: it’s not run by a cemetery chain, but by a couple who had farm property. In the U.K., many natural burial grounds are on farms. Natural burial sections of cemeteries already exist in Niagara Falls, Waterloo, Cobourg and Picton. Given rising interest in environmentally friendly burial, natural burial plans are being developed in thirteen Ontario communities, including West Grey and North Bruce Peninsula.
Says Susan Greer, Executive Director of Ontario’s Natural Burial Association:
“Natural burial returns the body to the earth in a protected green space so the body can contribute to the earth’s renewal. The body is buried in a biodegradable casket or shroud in a natural burial ground. While below ground the body is nourishing the earth that fed it through life, above ground, the land is restored to its natural eco-habitat. Our final act is giving back to the earth, as opposed to cremation which burns fossil fuels and puts carbon in the atmosphere. It’s nothing new, just new to today’s consumers. It’s the way many of our ancestors were buried before deathcare became commercialized, and many cultures (e.g., Jewish and Muslim faiths) have always embraced this practice.”
The proponent of the Grey Highland site, Sara Benjamin, developed an interest in natural burial in 2015 after seeing a film, A Will for the Woods, about the practice, but her interest lay dormant until Covid-19 brought death “out of the closet” for her (her own mother died in the pandemic).
A teacher by profession, Benjamin was raised on a farm near Stayner. She and her husband bought their 100 acre site on the eastern edge of Grey Highlands near the hamlet of Duncan in 2014 and built their “forever home” on it. The property is largely wooded, but Benjamin envisages a ten acre meadow on it as the site for the burial facility, connected to walking trails through their forest. Other than a clean-up of debris from earlier logging, the site would be left in its natural state. Building near the burial area would be limited — a washroom perhaps and a shelter for bad weather: simplicity is Benjamin’s byword.
Benjamin hasn’t chosen a name for the facility yet. She may ask the public to suggest names or she may name it after her late mother who supported Benjamin’s dream. She admits that her passion for natural burial can raise a few eyebrows:
“We live in a culture where someone wanting to work in deathcare could be considered weird. That’s a sad reflection of how far we have strayed. Death is part of life. I see value in removing the stigma that’s evolved around death. As I have lived, loved and lost, my personal relationship with death has evolved. Death, while challenging, doesn’t make me as uncomfortable as it once did, and I think many others feel the way that I do. We give an extraordinary amount of attention to other major life events (birthdays, graduations, engagement parties, weddings, religious rites of passage, baby showers, anniversaries, and now gender reveal parties and even promposals) and then there is death. We have an opportunity to shift the way that we think about and experience this inescapable life event.
When we invest in natural burial cemeteries, we have an opportunity to make our final act, a profoundly beautiful life-giving legacy.” Benjamin sees the facility as a partnership with the community. She envisages building relationships with a carpenter to provide biodegradable caskets, a seamstress / seamster to make shrouds, a local flower shop to help infuse beauty into ceremony, and a neighbor with a backhoe to help with excavation. And while the facility would be a business, Benjamin says her reasons for wanting to create it are ethical, aesthetic and environmental:
“Creating beautiful, natural spaces for humans to be buried in, to visit, and to honour our dead is a step in the right direction. Preserving cemetery land into perpetuity means that natural burial cemeteries become land conservation spaces. Natural burials are better for the environment and they help combat climate change. I now see that our parting gift can be giving back to the earth that fed us through life.”
Under the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, the municipality can approve the cemetery if it believes it is in the public interest to do so. Grey Highlands Council will consider the Natural Burial Cemetery request at its June 16 Council Meeting. The municipality welcomes written comments on the natural burial proposal by June 4 – they can be sent to the Municipality of Grey Highlands at email@example.com.
Thanks to the tireless advocacy of local resident Bob Hope, Owen Sound already has a “sort of” natural burial section in Greenwood Cemetery. Hope and his fellow advocates persuaded the city to devote part of the cemetery to natural burials but the city stipulated that the area must be screened off from the rest of the cemetery by cedar hedges. Owen Sound has yet to allow the natural burial section to let natural plant growth to take it over. One burial has taken place in the section so far.
The Owen Sound experience highlights a problem when natural and conventional burial sites are part of the same cemetery. Conventional cemeteries are manicured, while natural cemeteries grow wild (merely a messy eyesore to those who prefer mown grass).

Promotion to IAS: SC's fiat to high courts
The Supreme Court has cautioned high courts against passing interim orders in a casual manner in matters relating to promotion to IAS cadre, saying it would lead to "irreparable injury" to public interest.india Updated: Aug 05, 2009 18:30 IST
The Supreme Court has cautioned high courts against passing interim orders in a casual manner in matters relating to promotion to IAS cadre, saying it would lead to "irreparable injury" to public interest.
"It is beyond any cavil of doubt that before passing any interim order, the courts should not only consider prima facie case, balance of convenience, and irreparable injury but also its effect on public interest also," a bench of justices S B Sinha and Cyriac Joseph observed.
The apex court passed the order while setting aside an interim Punjab and Haryana High Court order of March 25, 2008 had stayed the reversion of Bhagwant Singh and five others promotee officers who were reverted from the IAS cadre by the state government after it was found that their elevation was not done in accordance with the rules.
Singh and other officers challenged their reversion before the high court which stayed the government order but in the process stalled the promotion of six direct recruit officers who were to be elevated to the prestigious IAS.
Aggrieved by the high court's order, the direct recruits Prabhjot Singh Mand and others filed a civil appeal in the apex court.
Upholding their plea the apex court observed, "It may be true that when an employee is reverted to a lower post, he would suffer civil consequences, but then, it was necessary not only in public interest, but also to give effect to the doctrine of comity and or/amity."
The apex court said the dispute was not between any private parties but between two cadre of senior officers which has a bearing on public interest.
"Appointment to the cadre of IAS is a matter of public interest. An interim order involving public interest in public law cases must receive different considerations," the apex court said.
The bench said the order of the high court has resulted in a piquant situation in which the direct recruits who were entitled to promotion could not be promoted because of the interim order.
"They (direct recruits) could not be denied promotion by another interim order passed in favour of the first respondent (promotee) directing that they could not be reverted as a result whereof the vacancy would not occur," the apex court observed, while setting aside the high court's order.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The parents of a kidnapped toddler are saying thank you today to the Good Samaritan who stopped to give their little girl a ride when he spotted her and her alleged abductor walking along a roadway in Washington County.
The suspect is accused of stealing at least two vehicles, one in West Virginia and the other in Washington County, and leading police on a wild chase into Baldwin.
John Parks is happy to have his daughter back, but he’s very angry with the man arrested for kidnapping the child and leading police on a chase across two counties.
“All I got to say is, he’s lucky the cops got a hold of him first,” said Parks. “I had, like, half of Preston County looking for him, too.”
Parks says the suspect, Timothy White, was staying at their apartment above a convenience store in Reedsville, which is near Morgantown, W. Va.
On Friday, investigator say White stole a car and kidnapped Parks’ 2-year-old daughter, Starr. White abandoned the car near an exit on Interstate 79.
They eventually made it to Richeyville in Washington County.
Stephanie Parks, the child’s mother, says she doesn’t know why White would take her daughter.
“No clue, no clue at all. He had no reason to,” she said. “Made her walk with no shoes on, and she just had surgery.”
A Good Samaritan saw White walking with the young child in the bitter cold and gave them a ride. The couple is thanking that man, James Weid.
“Thank you for finding my daughter because if it wasn’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have got her back,” Stephanie said.
“You have no idea how much I appreciate you, man. You brought back the only thing in this world that matters to me, besides my wife,” added John.
Police say White left the child with Weid and then stole a van. He headed north toward Finleyville, and was eventually arrested in Baldwin after leading police on a wild chase.
White is locked up in the Allegheny County Jail.
He’s charged with aggravated assault on five police officers, resisting arrest, fleeing police and recklessly endangering another person. In addition, he faces charges of kidnapping and vehicle theft.

Lifestream Certified Organic Chlorella is approved to be certified organic by Naturland, which is in compliance to IFOAM’s international standards for organic products.
Much of the food we eat contains chemicals: preservatives, artificial colours, pesticide residues and flavourings. Food can also be loaded with saturated fats and refined carbohydrates. These artificial compounds differ greatly from foods in their natural state and as a consequence our digestion and health may be compromised. Symptoms that the bowel may not be functioning to it’s optimum level and signs of sensitivity to artificial compounds are generally seen as feeling sluggish and tired, low energy, irritability, bad breath, body odour, skin problems, headaches, loss of appetite, flatulence, infrequent bowel motions and often just a feeling of being unwell.
As research is now proving, it is being discovered that many health conditions can be traced to poor bowel health. If your body is not able to get rid of the toxins or waste in your bowel, you may not have the ability to function at your optimum level. This is why detoxifying the body regularly is so important.
Lifestream Chlorella is a microscopic plant containing over 20 vitamins and minerals and is abundant in RNA & DNA nucleic acids. Chlorella gets its name from the high amount of chlorophyll it possesses. Lifestream Chlorella contains the richest natural source of chlorophyll available. As such, it has powerful cleansing and detoxifying properties and makes an excellent tonic. The detoxification capability of Lifestream Chlorella is due to its incredibly high content of chlorophyll and its ‘cracked’ cell walls. They have the uncanny ability to ‘grab onto’ unwanted materials, pollutants and some heavy metal residues in the bowel and intestines and help to flush them from the body.
Unique to Chlorella is CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor) which has contains a variety of substances such as amino acids, peptides, proteins, vitamins, sugars, and nucleic acid-related substances such as adenosine nucleotide and cytidine nucleotide.
Lifestream Chlorella is outdoor-grown in rich mineral water in world-renowned pristine subtropical coral reef islands. This is a far superior quality process to indoor-grown chlorella resulting in much higher levels of chlorophyll and CGF.
Lifestream Chlorella undergoes a unique jet spray, drying process which guarantees that you get the full nutrition available by gently cracking the individualChlorella cell walls without damaging the nutrients inside. The end result is 80% digestibility which is an optimum amount making it very effective in the bowel area without over processing the chlorella.
- Flushes out stored waste and pollutants
- Helps eliminate toxins and heavy metals
- Acts as an internal cleanse
- Refreshes the bowel and breath
- Helps to reduce body odour
- Contains chlorophyll which has antioxidant and neutralising properties
Suggested Serve: Adults: Week 1 – Take 5 tablets per day. After week 1 you can increase serve to 10 – 20 tablets per day as required. Use as directed.
General Information: Take between meals for greater detoxification. You may experience changes in bowel motions, headaches, spots or tiredness during the early stages of a cleanse. Drink 4 to 8 glasses of pure water per day whilst using Chlorella to help flush out toxins.
Ingredients: 100% pure Chlorella (Lifestream Chlorella tablets contain a very small amount (0.5%) of a tabletting aid which helps in the manufacturing of the tablets to ensure uniformity.)
Lifestream Chlorella is certified by the strict standards set by Japan Health Food and Nutrition Food Association (JHFA). Lifestream Chlorella is unconditionally guaranteed.
Warnings: Do not take Chlorella at the same time of day as prescription medication. Please seek the advice of a qualified health care professional if you are combining Chlorella with essential medication. In the very rare case of vomiting or nausea or if intestinal pain or constipation continues, discontinue use and seek healthcare advice immediately.

Healthcare organizations are being challenged to provide quality services and comply with regulatory requirements without losing eye on keeping costs in check. Systems at different organizations interacting with each other electronically, have crucial role in terms of integration between them and traditionally been using expensive Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solutions and proprietary VANs in many activities such as information exchanging of claims, eligibility, and payment advice information and such. Full scale EDI integration by a single entity can be done only by large investment.
Through studies it is found that electronic transactions costs for process very little compared to manual transactions. The platforms, B2B solutions, standards and technologies have reduced the transaction costs for the partner coming on board.
With the developments in the technologies and new compliance standards, the modernisation of the EDI transactions has become a necessity.

Is it possible to treat psychotic disorders without medication?
In spite of successful antipsychotic treatment, many patients with psychosis have difficulty with motivation, activities of daily living, relationships, and communication skills. Also, since an illness like schizophrenia typically begins during years that are critical to education and professional training, these patients often lack social and work skills and experience. In these cases, the psychosocial treatments are all the more important, and many useful treatment approaches have been developed to assist people suffering from a psychotic disorder.
- Individual psychotherapy: This involves regular sessions between just the patient and a therapist focused on past or current problems, thoughts, feelings, or relationships. Thus, via contact with a trained professional (like a psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, or psychoanalyst), people with psychosis become able to understand more about the illness, learn about themselves, and to better handle the problems of their daily lives. They can become better able to differentiate between what is real and what is not and can acquire beneficial problem-solving skills.
- Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation may include job and vocational counseling, problem solving, social skills training, and education in money management. Thus, patients learn skills required for successful reintegration into their community following discharge from the hospital.
- Family education: Research has consistently shown that people with a psychotic disorder who have involved families have a better prognosis than those who battle the condition alone. Insofar as possible, all family members should receive family-focused therapy, including emotional support and psychoeducation about psychotic disorders and be involved in the care of their loved one.
- Self-help groups: Outside support for family members of those with any psychotic disorder is necessary and desirable. The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) is an in-depth resource. This outreach organization shares information on all treatments for psychosis, including home care.

Great Customer Service
I ordered a bumper pack of wet food and a 4 pack of small dog dry food. Had 2 bumper packs of wet food delivered with no dry food to be found. Contacted Harringtons via live chat and email, received a response on the same day to say that they were very sorry for the incorrect order and to keep both bumper packs of wet food and that dry food would be sent the next day which it was! Can’t of had a better response than that. Accidents happen but great customer care definitely makes up for it and dogs are very happy with their food!
My dogs love this small bite kibble, any chance you could do the larger bags as it will be more beneficial?

Company on track to carry out first flight of GRIPEN E in second half of 2017
Saab has begun development of the first GRIPEN E/F fighter for Brazil, as the manufacturer continues to target the nation for a future maritime version of the aircraft.
Brazil will receive 36 GRIPENs under the SEK39.3 billion acquisition contract, comprising 28 single-seat E models and eight twin-seat trainers. Under the terms of the deal, Saab is transferring a number of technologies to Brasilia, and included in this was a design study for a maritime, carrier-capable variant of the aircraft.
It was widely considered that Brazil’s interest in this had waned following its decision to decommission its SAO-PAULO-class carrier, but Mikael Franzen, Director General for GRIPEN Brazil at Saab, maintains that it could still be a target market for the future system, alongside India that has issued a request for information for a carrier-based fighter.
“In our view this is a very suitable aircraft for the Brazilian Navy,” Franzen told media at the LAAD exhibition in Rio. “We think it is still of interest for the navy, as well as for India. Both are still interested, but [an acquisition] is for the customer to decide.”
Regarding the development of the E/F, much of the technology selected from Brazilian partners under the terms of the technology transfer will benefit all operators of the type, including the AEL Systems, an Elbit Systems subsiduary, helmet that both Sweden and Brazil will use.
Aircraft will initially be built in Sweden, but at some point this will be transferred to Brazil to support the technology transfer. The first aircraft destined for Brazil is being manufactured in Linkoping in Sweden, while the two-seat version of the GRIPEN is being developed at the GRIPEN Design and Development Network in Sao Paulo that was established in November 2016.
Franzen could not clarify when the first Brazilian aircraft will be ready or fly, only saying that deliveries will take place between 2019 and 2024.
“From the industrial side we have a strong partnership with Brazilian industry,” Franzen said, noting that 135 Brazilian engineers have so far been trained on the aircraft. “We are progressing in all areas, and from Saab’s perspective…we are very satisfied with the partnerships we have.”
Saab has recently signed contracts with two new companies, namely Atmos Sistemas and DCTA. The former will be responsible for component maintenance capabilities for sensors such as the radar and electronic warfare systems, while the latter will carry out research into future technology.
The company is on track to carry out the first flight of GRIPEN E in the second half of this year, and ground rolling tests that are being carried out are, “almost to flight speed now”, Franzen says, with a lot of the testing being carried out using simulation.
Saab also announced on 31 March that the Swedish Defence Material Administration (FMV) had contracted it to develop the RBS15 anti-ship missile. Worth SEK3.2 billion, the missile will be delivered between 2017 and 2026, and will be integrated onto the Gripen E and Visby-class corvettes. See story here.
It has an improved combat range on the legacy product, as well as an upgraded target seeker, and a lower mass. It is able to combat a wide spectrum of naval and land-based targets, Saab says, and is an all-weather capability.

The Metropolitan Corporation of Greater Winnipeg (Metro) was established by Manitoba’s Metropolitan Winnipeg Act in 1960 to govern the distribution of services between the City and surrounding areas. It was dissolved in 1972 when suburban municipalities amalgamated with Winnipeg under the project called Unicity. Metro had jurisdiction over inter-municipal services such as water, parks and public transportation. It was responsible for municipal boards and commissions as well as services previously administered by suburban municipalities. Metro was affiliated with suburban municipal governments, rural and otherwise, for Brooklands, Charleswood, East Kildonan, Fort Garry, North Kildonan, Old Kildonan, Saint-Boniface, Saint-Vital, St. James, Transcona, Tuxedo, and West Kildonan. In 1969 the Province of Manitoba undertook a review of this system, which led to Metro’s dissolution. It was governed by a Council and Committees system, the administrative functions being organised into divisions, and each reporting to the Executive Director of the Corporation. In its time, Metro was the second two-tiered municipal government in North America.
Scope and content
The Metropolitan Corporation of Greater Winnipeg Review Commission (also known as the Cumming Commission) was created on October 2, 1962 through an Order-in-Council (No. 1250/62) to investigate the relationship between Metro and area municipalities in terms of finances, government form and structure, and boundaries, to improve inter-governmental relationships. The Commission held several public hearings in April 1963 where citizens were allowed to present and individuals, associations and representatives from various municipalities were invited to submit briefs. While the Commission believed that the Metro government structure was beneficial for the municipalities, they did make recommendations related to taxes, levies, Metro’s jurisdiction over municipalities, and the additional zone. They also recommended that Metro establish four year terms for its Chairman and council members effective as of 1964.
Series consists of the Commission’s report and recommendations, briefs and rebuttals from individuals and organizations, a submission to the commission by Metro, as well as records created by Metro to prepare for the Commission, including correspondence, inter-office memos, research material and reports.

Zoraya | Lakmé Fashion Week A/W 2016
For those who prefer festival wear with a contemporary edge, young designers Dipti Sawardekar's label Zoraya is one to watch out for. Her lineup featured breezy maxis, voluminous lehengas and structured waistcoats with gilded fish scale-style scallops. The designer sought inspiration from the Gadd block print and traditional architectural details like the jaali. The embellished sleeveless coat is on top of our wish list for the festive season.

The NC General Assembly passed House Bill 806, October 1, 2009 requires increased Home Owner Association responsibility. What this means to you:
This new law requires that the homeowners associations make reasonable and diligent effort to locate and notify a lot owner prior to filing a claim of lien for assessments, as well as written notice including a statement of the assessment amount due sent by first-class mail to the owner. These must be sent to the owner's address of record with the Association, (and if different), the physical address of the property, the address for the owner shown on the county tax records, the address for the owner shown on the county real property records for the lot or unit, and, if the owner is a corporation, the address of the registered agent listed with the Secretary of State.
The new law also states that the lien paperwork from the attorney's office must be sent by certified mail, and the attorney's office must also provide proof that it made a reasonable effort to contact the homeowner, and an affidavit affirming this fact.
The first page of the lien must also include this verbiage:
THIS DOCUMENT CONSTITUTES A LIEN AGAINST YOUR PROPERTY, AND IF THE LIEN IS NOT PAID, THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION MAY PROCEED WITH FORECLOSURE AGAINST YOUR PROPERTY IN LIKE MANNER AS A MORTGAGE UNDER NORTH CAROLINA LAW.
This new HOA law means that governing the collections and filing of liens by homeowner associations will become more complicated and labor intensive from now on. HOAs will be required to take additional steps before and during the collection process in order to file claims of lien properly and to collect on them through the foreclosure process.
As a result, homeowner associations should review and update their collection policies and procedures, including routine updating of owner information, to ensure that they can navigate effectively through the new statutory framework.
If you are on the board of an HOA in NC, you should work with your property management company to ensure that these new proceedures are being followed.

Developed in-house and called R110, the motor is an evolution of the R90 that powers the current Zoe. It’s rated at 109PS (107hp) and 225Nm (166lb-ft) of torque, a 16hp improvement.
The 2018 Renault Zoe takes 11.4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (0-62mph), shaves almost two seconds off its predecessor’s 80-120km/h (50-75mph) sprint, and can reach a top speed of 135km/h (84mph).
Renault claims that with the 41kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which can be charged from 0 to 80 percent in as low as 1 hour and 40 minutes, the Zoe R110 has a total range of 300km (186miles) in summer, and 200km (124miles) during winter.
“Thanks to this power boost, Zoe is even more responsive and versatile when used for journeys out of town”, said the company’s Assistant Programme Director, Elisabeth Delval. “In addition to being able to enjoy the pleasure of driving a Zoe, drivers will also benefit from the longest range available for a mass-market electric car.”
In addition to making the zero-emission subcompact hatchback a tad more powerful, the automaker has also launched a new color especially for it. Called Blueberry Purple, it joins the new Blueberry Purple Pack on the high-end Intens grade, which adds a special violet finish for the dashboard, air vents, gear lever base, and speaker surrounds.
The small electric model also features topstitching, black and violet fabric upholstery, and Android Auto compatibility for the R-Link Evolution infotainment system.
Renault will open the order books for the new Zoe R110 in France next month, followed by other European markets shortly after.
Prior to that, we will see it live during the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, which opens its gates on March 6.

(Knitting Regrets), I’ve Had a Few . . .
But then again to few to mention.
Over the years I’ve knit things I’ve liked and I’ve knit things that . . . well . . .
It’s time for true confessions and to reveal my
Top 5 Knitting Regrets
In no particular order, drum roll please . . .
1) Told Yourself You Could Skip the Swatch
So, yes, I’ve done that. I told myself every lie in the book. “I’m using the same yarn that the pattern calls for” or “I’m a good knitter”, or “it looks like it’s on gauge.” Most famously resulting in this atrocity.
2) Went to the (fill in the blank) Without Your Knitting
Always, I repeat ALWAYS have your knitting with you. Every time I’ve gone out without it because it’s just a quick errand, my subway is held in the station, or the doctor got stuck at the hospital so she’s 2 hrs behind in appt. The WORST is taking a project on vacation and finishing it with nothing new to cast on. Be safe, take one project per day of vacation. Trust me.
3) Convinced Yourself You Had Enough Yarn
Yarn chicken never ends well. You can tell yourself all the lies. You can do a felted join so you’ll not waste ends, shorten the sleeves, knit few rows of ribbing, but math is math. Don’t do it. Just get an extra ball of yarn. Don’t
4) Continued to Knit Lace in the Dark
Not wanting to wake up your husband is not a good enough reason to knit lace in the dark, because the morning always comes – and it. Is. Never. Pretty.
5) Convinced Yourself it Would Get Smaller When You Seamed it
See Regret #1. I knit the entire sweater back and front and still refused to acknowledge that the sweater was HUGE. Here’s what I’ve learned . . . when I was a kid my mother used to warn “the man won’t change when you marry him”. I never knew what she meant, but I can tell you, the sweater won’t get smaller when you seam it.
There, I feel better. What are your biggest knitting regrets? Leave me a comment.
To your 5 I’ll add one more!
6. Tell yourself that little mistake won’t show because you don’t want to rip it all out. It becomes a beacon to your eye and that’s all you see!
Not ripping out and correcting a mistake.
“Oh, I don’t need to put this (maybe lace?) in a bag. The cats will leave it alone” . HAH!! “Idle yarn is a cat’s plaything.”
Ignoring that nagging feeling that something is wrong instead of stopping to discover that rereading the directions means you don’t have to rip out the yoke (twice) or make socks that would fit Godzilla.
That glass of wine (or two) that I had before I picked up my knitting….Susan
My worst was not notating a needle size change on my pattern! Came back much later and finished it with the needle called for in the pattern. The back fits, the front AND sleeves are too big. Sew it together anyway! Bad idea. Waiting to be frogged.
Aggressive blocking isn’t always the answer either!
Alternating skeins on a pattern that goes from right side out to wrong side out and 5 inches later seeing how nice the skein changes show on the Right side. Ahhhhhhhhhh!
Chenille yarn and trying to knit something with it for the first time. Frogged. But don’t want to give up. There must be a secret.
Don’t grip too tightly or it will bunch up.
Being too scared or intimidated to try new skills. Took me years to try stranded knitting – finally gave in during the pandemic. It is now my fav thing!
For me if I have to rip I make sure I have my tools my kitchen table and calm . Read: don’t rip like a enraged crazy person. Also agree w if you are tired put it DOWN else to the kitchen table I will go!
Using the same weight yarn, but different fibers from what the pattern called for. I made a very intricate cable/lace cardigan – whole thing was intertwining cables and lace. The pattern called for a mohair/merino blend. I used bamboo. The fabric was beautiful, stitch definition was lovely – but it did not hang right and was too bulky. Never wore it. It was such a lovely shade of periwinkle too. What a shame.
These are great! Thank you Patty, I can relate to every one of them.
Corollary to #5 — It will be bigger once it gets blocked….
Not taking enough notes on a pattern so that when I wanted to knit it again, I made all the same mistakes all over again! I could have saved time and avoided that frustration with sufficient notes!

Common trends in housing these days require the creative use of smaller spaces. The price of land continues to rise, and since not all starting families would want to raise kids in a constricted environment, it pays to have your own house and lot.
Even though the most affordable lots are smaller now, this does not mean that homeowners will have to limit their ideas on how to build their own homes. Here are some things to consider when designing narrow lot house plans.
Make Use of Vertical Space
Urban settings have less land to build on. As such, the challenge for builders is learning how to work with narrow spaces without compromising the design. Instead of the traditional styles of homes, a more modern touch on house design is becoming more prominent.
According to Builders House Plans, modern homes make efficient use of space. One way to do this would be to build up instead of building out. This allows the homeowners to ensure that the house has all the facilities and necessary rooms without adding to the actual footprint of the home.
Narrow lot house plans likewise have the advantage of being drafted from the ground up. This means that the actual design is tailored for the available space and with the right direction from the homeowners.
Modern Style Can Work Best
Open homes are a great concept to follow when it comes to narrow house lots. Without walls that separate relatively spacious areas of the home, such as living room and dining rooms, the home appears even bigger than it actually does.
An open house concept allows natural light to go into the house and illuminate the different areas. It's likewise an energy-saver, especially for those who tend to use air conditioning frequently.
Smart Storage, More Space
Another good secret to making efficient use of space with narrow lot house plans is to use smart storage spaces. This is where built-in cabinets and transforming furniture can be of most use.
Some houses can make use of a lot as small as 700 square feet and still have all the appliances and furniture needed in the home. Built-in cabinets take up less space, while transformable furniture, such as beds that can fold up into desks, will make better use of the space in a room.
Even a narrow home can even have its own greenery. A good use of windows is to put plants in boxes that can overhang on the side of the building. Not only does it add some semblance of a garden in your home, but also adds charm to the home.
These are only some of the advantages that homeowners can enjoy even with a small lot space to work with. It's best to consult with a professional home designer to maximise the space and create a design that fits perfectly for your family.

Here are 4 significant signs that you are parenting your partner
Is your man a big baby?
However, the urge to take control and constantly supervise her partner may creep in.
Having an overbearing partner is limiting and very suffocating in a relationship. It could be the source of argument and estrangement. Marriage is meant to be freeing even in it’s constricting nature.
Are you parenting your partner? Here’s four ways to find out.
Are you always reminding him of what to do? Nagging is the ultimate way to reduce your partner to child status. This could b not letting him off after making a mistake by always reminding him and giving instructions shows your inability to trust their maturity to follow instructions. It’s a demeaning feeling to think that your person doesn’t trust you, have some faith in your man.
2. Taking charge
Every time you go out on a date, you want to pay the bill. You make important decisions about the family without consulting him. In your mind, you’re being the ideal wife by helping him with everything. For some guys, this is a plus. For others’ the man feels emasculated when you take over responsibilities he grew up knowing that they belong to men. Step back if you know you are a control freak. However, if he’s the one dilly dallying then it’s time you have a talk about him stepping up and taking over his roles.
3. The children are your business
Do your children only come to you for everything? What is their relationship with their father beyond serving him in the house and him paying bills? Is he invested in their personal lives? There are two reasons for this: either he has not been putting the effort or you’ve pushed him aside and taken over. Raising children should be a joint affair. Children need both parents and his presence along is not enough.
4. Your partner is a baby
Is he bad with children, a heavy drinker, bad with money, careless with his work? Then you’re dating a baby. A man who can’t make his own decisions and stick to them is not mature enough to handle marriage and it’s important that you take a step back and review the reality of your marriage. You can talk to a counselor and find help or take a stand strong enough for him to style up. Otherwise such a man could run your success and your new family to the ground.
The problem with parenting your partner is the extra responsibilities you burden yourself with. In the long run, you will get frustrated that he is not appreciating what you have now made the usual.

Israel closed the Mount Hermon resort in the Golan Heights to visitors on
Thursday, following predictions of snowfall in the area.
More snow fell
overnight in the lower Carmel region in the north, with up to 20 centimeters
falling in some areas. Heavy rain fell across the country Wednesday and early
Thursday, with more of the same forecast until after the weekend.
Since Wednesday, the Lake Kinneret rose 4cm - 229cm above the lower red line, Israel Radio reported.
Temperatures will rise again over the weekend, according to the Israel Meteorological Service.
The reported onslaught of wet weather follows a period of unseasonably sunny calm since Israel was battered by heavy storms and rain
at the beginning of January this year. Showers and storms pounded nearly all of country, with extremely strong winds – of up to 85 kilometers per hour from the North down to the Arava, decreasing to 35 kph in Eilat.
The rains were so powerful in January that flooding caused the closure of Tel Aviv's main artery
– the Ayalon Highway – as well as the city's train stations . Sharon Udasin contributed to this report.

OMAHA — Tuesday’s Democratic primary to determine who will face 2nd District Rep. Don Bacon in November pits State Sen. Tony Vargas against mental health practitioner Alisha Shelton.
Both are serious candidates, said Paul Landow, a political science professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. But he said Vargas has an advantage because of his experience as an elected official, his connections and his fundraising edge.
Vargas, in addition to being a state senator, is a former member of the Omaha Public Schools Board.
Shelton has the backing of the Congressional Black Caucus and the experience of having run a statewide race in 2020. She lost in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate to Chris Janicek. Shelton says that campaign and her work in mental health make her a good listener.
The contested primary race is rare for Nebraska Democrats elsewhere, who tend to consolidate more quickly around single candidates running at or near the top of the ticket.
The 2nd District seat has seen a number of contested primaries in the recent past, including Kara Eastman vs. the late Rep. Brad Ashford in 2018 and Eastman vs. Ann Ashford and Gladys Harrison in 2020.
This year, the National Republican Congressional Committee has taken shots at both Vargas and Shelton as too liberal for the “purple” district.
Vargas leads the two in funding. He raised more than $1 million, according to federal campaign fundraising reports, and has spent more money on campaign ads. Shelton raised more than $300,000.
Vargas said he decided to run because he got tired of watching Congress make Americans’ political divisions worse. He said he wants to unify people, not divide them.
His solution is to bring more of the approach he and others used in the officially nonpartisan Legislature, he said. He wants to find common ground and work on areas of agreement.
“Congress is more divided than ever, but I realized that who we elect either makes it a more unified place on common shared things or less,” Vargas said.
Shelton said she wants to ease people’s financial pain. Too many people ignore inflation, which is hurting families and people who are struggling, she said.
Among her ideas: making sure people have the education and training for better jobs, raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and perhaps indexing the minimum wage to inflation.
“Anything that’s going to help American working families, I think that’s the way to go,” Shelton said.
Vargas and Shelton say they’re hearing from Democrats and nonpartisans about lost wages and the cost of health care and child care.
Addressing those concerns, Shelton said, would get more people back into the workforce and fill open jobs. Vargas, who fought for workplace protections for meatpackers in the Legislature, said people should not have to worry financially about getting sick.
“They have a lot less in their pockets,” Vargas said of his constituents. “People want somebody that’s not just going to talk nicely and actually is going to try to do something.”
On education, Vargas backed charter schools early in his career. He has since backed away, saying he’s a “proud former public school teacher” who has worked for better pay for teachers.
Shelton said she wants public dollars going to public schools. During a debate with Vargas, she said voters want someone they know will be consistent on issues that matter.
Vargas and Shelton agreed on the need to help small businesses pay higher, more competitive wages with help from tax incentives and grants.
Vargas pointed to his record in the Legislature, where he helped pass a package by State Sens. Justin Wayne and Terrell McKinney allocating federal recovery funds for programs in North and South Omaha.
Shelton pointed to her work at the individual and neighborhood level to connect people with needed services, be they government, nonprofit or medical.
Vargas said he wants to help people focus on the 2nd District’s economic future, to think about what the region is good at, what it could be good at and what investments it needs to get there.
Shelton said she would like to see a greater focus on workers, who she said need more federal protections to join unions and more encouragement to study trades.
Vargas and Shelton agreed on the need to boost voting rights.
Both candidates have New York ties. Shelton’s family moved to Omaha when she was a child. Vargas grew up in New York after his parents immigrated to the U.S. from Peru. His wife, Lauren, had ties to Nebraska. They moved here in 2012.
The winner likely will face Bacon, who is running against a little known primary opponent, Steve Kuehl. Bacon is a retired Air Force brigadier general. Kuehl is a salesman for White Castle Roofing. Bacon has raised more than $2.3 million, compared with Kuehl’s $5,141.
When former President Donald Trump held a rally May 1 in Greenwood, Nebraska, he urged Republicans not to vote for Bacon (who won the 2nd District in 2020, when Trump lost it).
Trump tried in the current election cycle to recruit a primary opponent for Bacon. But no well-known opponent surfaced.
Trump, when criticizing Bacon from the stage, said, “Good luck, Steve, whoever the hell you are.”
Bacon, reached this week, said he is grateful to constituents for their faith and said he works for them, not Trump. “We are focused on 2022 and not backwards,” Bacon said.

PALM DESERT, Calif. - Nothing is more important to parents than the safety of their child. But there comes a time when kids must learn to take care of themselves.
"For them to see that safety is important, so they can learn to be on the safe side, like wearing helmets, how to approach animals," said Ann Fernandez, a Palm Desert resident and mother of two.
Helping kids understand the value of things like seat belts, helmets and animal safety was the message at Palm Desert's Family Safety Festival Saturday at the Civic Center Park.
"So you never get hurt or get into a car crash and if you get into a car crash you have to go to the hospital, and the hospital is not good," said 7-year-old Tabatha Tirado.
Resources on self-defense were also available. Tirado knows if she's ever in danger she wants to be prepared.
"So I can protect myself if somebody's trying to get me," Tirado said.
The city's police and fire departments answered questions, demonstrated equipment and handed out free bike helmets to Palm Desert residents.
"Sometimes parents or legal guardians don't know how to install a seat or that their child needs to have a helmet on. This just reinforces that," said Sgt. Dave Adams of the Palm Desert Police Department.
Parents breathed a sigh of relief knowing their kids know what to do when they're not around.
"I feel comfortable when they are outside and they are not especially in my vision," Fernandez said.

EMS Providers should be familiar with the RICES mnemonic as it relates to the initial care and management of soft tissue injuries. RICES stands for:
Rest: The injured area should be rested to prevent further damage and allow the body to initiate the healing process. Limiting movement and weight-bearing on the injured limb or area is essential to avoid exacerbating the injury.
Ice: Applying ice to the injured area helps reduce swelling and inflammation. Use a cold pack or ice wrapped in a cloth and apply it to the injured site for 15-20 minutes every 1-2 hours during the initial 24-48 hours after the injury. Ensure that you place a barrier (such as a cloth) between the ice and the skin to prevent frostbite.
Compression: Use an elastic bandage or compression wrap to gently compress the injured area. This helps reduce swelling and provides support. Be careful not to wrap it too tightly, which could impede blood flow. You should be able to slide a finger beneath the bandage.
Elevation: Elevating the injured limb or area helps minimize swelling by allowing excess fluid to drain away from the site. For example, if the injury is in the leg, elevate it above heart level when possible.
Stabilization: Immobilize or stabilize the injured area, especially if there is a risk of further injury due to movement. This can be achieved with splints or slings when necessary to prevent further harm.
EMS providers should keep in mind that the RICES protocol is most effective for acute soft tissue injuries, such as sprains, strains, and contusions. It can provide initial relief and help with pain and swelling reduction.
However, for more serious injuries or fractures, further medical evaluation and interventions may be required. It's also essential to consider any contraindications, such as not applying ice directly to open wounds or areas with impaired circulation.
Additionally, the mnemonic PRICE is a similar concept but includes "Protection" as the first step. In some cases, protecting the injured area from further harm may be necessary before starting RICES, especially in emergency situations.
Overall, EMS providers should be knowledgeable about the appropriate first aid and initial care for soft tissue injuries to help improve patient comfort and outcomes.
