Like previous Gear watches, the Gear Sport uses a rotating bezel and two side buttons for most of its navigation. This works better than you’d think by looking at it, and it’s a boon to those who wear gloves for part of the year. In fact, we actually prefer this approach to Wear OS or the Apple Watch: Rotating through your home screens, notifications, lists of apps, or messages happens at remarkable speed for a tiny device. The screen is 1.2 inches and 360 pixels in diameter, but it’s brighter than our pick’s, and it looks decent enough while displaying most content, though text isn’t as sharp as on the Fossil screens. The watch itself is not small, at 43 and 44 millimeters wide and tall, respectively, and 11.6 mm thick, but it’s nowhere near as beefy as our prior pick, the Gear S3.
In 1998, Steve Mann invented, designed, and built the world's first Linux wristwatch, which he presented at IEEE ISSCC2000 on 7 February 2000, where he was named "the father of wearable computing". See also Linux Journal, where Mann's Linux wristwatch appeared on the cover and was the feature article of LJ Issue 75. Seiko launched the Ruputer in Japan - a wristwatch computer with a 3.6 MHz processor. It was not very successful, since instead of a touchscreen it used a joystick-like device to input characters (much like high scores in arcade games), and the small screen with a resolution at 102x64 in 4 greyscales made it hard to read large amounts of text. Outside of Japan, this watch was distributed as the Matsucom onHand PC. Despite the rather low demand, the Matsucom onHand PC was distributed until 2006, making it a smartwatch with a rather long life cycle. Ruputer and onHand PC applications are 100% compatible. This watch is sometimes considered the first smartwatch since it was the first watch to offer graphics display (albeit monochrome) and many 3rd party applications (mostly homebrew).
But with a wider choice comes deeper deliberation. What's the difference between a fully digital dial, and a 'smart optimised' analog? What features will actually aid your day-to-day? And which would be totally useless? To answer these questions, and more, we've picked through the best smartwatches on the market to suit your no doubt very busy, hectic and urbane lifestyle.
Our top pick for most people is the Apple Watch Series 4 with GPS (starting at $399), which has a huge display, ultra-fast processor, Raise to Speak Siri, fall detection and a built-in electrical heart rate sensor for taking on-the-go electrocardiograms. It also runs watchOS 5, which makes the watch even more useful with automatic workout-tracking, offline podcast playback and a Walkie-Talkie voice chat feature.

We currently use 3 different roof coating systems;
- Mathys Noxyde®
- Metalseal from Liquasil
- Delcote from Giromax.
Noxyde® is a single-component waterborne elastic coating with very special anti-corrosive and water-resistant properties.
Noxyde® will not flake: it follows the movement of metal roofs as they contract and expand. Noxyde® does not let water in. Its excellent adhesion to metal means no underlying rust can occur even where the Noxyde® layer is mechanically damaged.
A single-component paint that is easy to apply and yet gives the same protection as a complicated and more expensive polyurethane system.
This product delivers excellent corrosion and waterproofing protection, up to 15 years in the highest corrosion class C5-M, according to ISO 12944
Time and labour savings are quickly achieved due to this product’s minimal preparation requirements coupled with faster airless spray painting application.
Metal roofs expand and contract depending on atmospheric conditions making Noxyde to clear choice because of its non-cracking 200% elasticity.
- Excellent corrosion protection and waterproofing properties.
- Primer and topcoat in one.
- Prevents rust from spreading
- Abrasion resistant
- 200% elastic coat which will not crack or peel.
- 100% coverage of nuts, bolts and welds.
- This is a Dry fall product, no overspray risks and fast clean up time.
- UV- and impact-resistant.
- Can be applied using time and money saving Airless spraying units.
- Excellent adhesion properties.
- Water resistant
- Minimal Surface Preparation; high-pressure cleaning with water
- Excellent Edge Coverage
- Insurance backed 10 and 15-year warranty’s available under most conditions.
- Impermeable to water
- Contains anti-corrosion pigments

Available in standard colours and other colours on request
Metalseal metal roof coating system from Liquasil is a brand-new, British innovation in silicone technology that out-performs other coatings in several key areas.
This is the first, full metal roof coating system to be made from a specially formulated polymer to provide a hardened finish that actively repels water, resists environmental dirt pick-up and prevents the build up of unsightly moss and lichen growth.
If you are involved in specifying metal roof coatings as a building surveyor or architect, it’s time to consider a cost effective alternative to the usual cladding paints that have traditionally been used to date.
Metalseal is designed by Chartered Building Surveyors to provide you with not only a decorative finish, but also a protective finish that will ensure your clients’ buildings will stay looking good for longer, yet will often cost no more than a cladding paint!
Why Use Metalseal?
- Ecomomical – mostly applied in a single coat
- Easier Preparation – our corrosion treatment is applied directly to red rust (angle grinders not required!)
- Fast Application – the airless spray version can be installed at the rate of 2-400 sq metres per day
- Can be installed (and cured) at lower temperatures (-5°c)
- Remains flexible from -60°c to +200°c – more than enough to cope with thermal movement
- Can be used with our cut edge corrosion treatment
- Made in England
- Designed by Chartered Building Surveyors
- Available in any RAL colour
- Unique, hardened silicone technology – made for metal roofs
- Single-point, latent defects insurance warranty as standard (via approved installers)
Metalseal SF (solvent-free) is more suited for for brush / roller application and Metalseal 20 is designed for optimum application by airless spray.
Designed by our own building surveyors and chemists to overcome the problems associated with some coatings, Metalseal includes components of our cut edge corrosion system, so will add years to the life of your metal profiled roof and keep it looking its best.
The finish achieved with Metalseal rivals anything on the market and has the advantage of having superior protective properties and what’s more, it’s available in any RAL colour, subject to minimum ordering requirements of just 100 litres, which will provide approximate coverage of 300 sq metres.
For those buildings that are sensitive to fumes (food preparation, healthcare etc.), we recommend using the solvent free version which is brush or roller applied.
Unlike other coatings, there’s no need to switch off sensitive air handling equipment during installation, since there is no solvent smell or obnoxious fumes.
On certain substrates, including plastic fixing caps, rusted substrate and newer plastisol finishes, an additional primer or adhesion promoter may be required and of course, we have a range of options available to you.
Delcote® Architectural Coating
Roof & Wall Cladding Refurbishment
DELCOTE® is a silicone coating designed for re-coating roof and wall cladding substrate including masonry, concrete, asbestos cement, polyurethane foam and most painted or unpainted metals.
It is the ideal product for reinstating a protective coating to profiled metal cladding where its standard 200 micron application will provide protection equal to or better than the original coating.
- Primer-less adhesion to most substrates.
- Durability – proven world-wide use with a life expectancy of over 20 years
- Use with SEAMSIL® 100 cut edge corrosion repair.
- UV and temperature resistant for longer proven life.
- Proven long term protection against corrosion on metal roofs.
- Provides breathable membrane for protection of asbestos and concrete surfaces.

Our summer football preview is rolling on. After looking at the quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends, we’ve turned our attention to the offensive line this week. We have looked at the left tackles, left guards, centers and right guards, and now will be wrapping Offensive Line Week up with a look at Maryland football’s right tackle position.
The Terps replace Damian Prince, who started a total of 39 games in his career, including 33 since 2016. Prince committed to the Maryland football program in 2014 with a five-star rating and became one of the best linemen in the conference, earning Third Team All-Big Ten by the media for the 2018 season. Now that he’s in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Maryland will likely turn to a redshirt sophomore to replace him.
The frontrunner: Marcus Minor, No. 72
Year: Redshirt sophomore
Hometown: Lanham, Md.
High School: DeMatha Catholic
After playing football at DeMatha Catholic High School, Minor elected to stay in his backyard and committed to Maryland as a consensus four-star recruit and was rated as the No. 5 player in the state of Maryland by ESPN. While he was recruited as an interior linemen — Scout had him as the No. 1 guard in the state of Maryland — Minor has demonstrated his flexibility along the offensive line, filling in at both tackle spots last season.
The Lanham, Maryland, native started his first game as a freshman at the right guard position against Michigan State but has seen time at the left tackle position as well. Last year, Minor started three of the first four games before missing the final eight due to injury. However, he was healthy in spring practice and spent his time with the first team.
The challenger: Tyran Hunt, No. 67
Year: Redshirt sophomore
Hometown: Boykins, Va.
High School: Southampton
Hunt entered Maryland in 2017 as a three-star recruit ranked as the No. 33 player in Virginia, per the 247Sports Composite. The Boykins, Virginia, native showcased his ability to play both sides of the ball at Southampton High School, but the Terps placed him on the offensive line when he arrived. Unlike Minor, Hunt did not see any game action during his freshman season and appeared in six games as a reserve offensive lineman in 2018.
Since joining the program, Hunt has added 17 pounds, and at 6’7, he boasts a profile that can compete in the Big Ten trenches. With the number of departures on this offensive line in the offseason, expect him to have at least a rotational role again.
The newcomer: Marcus Finger, No. 64
Hometown: Fort Myers, Fla.
High School: Fort Myers HS
Finger is the youngest of the right tackle group as a Class of 2019 commit. The Fort Myers, Florida, native was the No. 265 prospect in Florida and the nation’s No. 166 offensive tackle. He had originally committed to UCF in June 2018, but after taking an official visit to Maryland in February, Finger committed to Mike Locksley and the Terps just before National Signing Day.
In his Hudl, Finger demonstrates his ability to play multiple positions on the offensive line, including center and guard, and reach the second level of defenders off of the snap.

Portugal forward Eder has playfully suggested he will be the top-scorer at Euro 2016.
The 28-year-old scored only six times with Lille last season and has just three goals for his country in 26 appearances.
However, when asked by reporters who would net the most times at the tournament, he jokingly backed himself.
"It will be me," Eder smiled.
The former Swansea City man then offered a more serious answer, naming team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the favourites.
"The European Championships has great players," he added.
"We have Ronaldo, [Robert] Lewandowski, a number of them. I do not want to bet."
Portugal kick off their Euro 2016 campaign against Iceland on Tuesday, before facing their other Group F rivals Austria and Hungary.
Fernando Santos's men are hoping to better their semi-final exit from four years ago, where they lost to eventual champions Spain.

Richmond Police top brass faced harsh criticism from residents on a crime prevention trip in the Woodhaven neighborhood Monday night.
Police went door to door in the neighborhood Monday night with a strong show of force. The walk-through comes after an increase in crimes like copper theft and robbery in the area. Police walked the streets to tackle crime, but they ended up getting an earful about the new top cop.
Woodhaven resident Henry Bennett used the face-to-face with officers to fire off on the recent change in police chief.
"When you hire somebody that is retirement age," said Bennett about new police chief Ray Tarasovic. "And then you put an article in the paper... see this crap is bad."
Officers tried to keep the focus on the crime statistics. They noted an increase in violent crimes and property crimes in the Woodhaven community.
"You don't fire a man in the public," said Bennett.
"I understand," replied Captain Harvey Powers. "At the end of the day, the Second precinct officers are here to make sure you are taken care of, and you get the right amount of police response no matter who the chief is."
Officers were armed with handouts highlighting crime prevention tips. They encouraged residents to turn on porch lights, don't leave vehicles running with the heater on, and put your junk in the trunk.
"It's wonderful," said resident Munica Allmond. "But they should at least let people know that they are coming."
Allmond says it all had her daughter calling in a panic.
"I don't know what's going on," Allmond recalls her daughter saying. "They went to the front. they went to the side. Please come home, and that's what I did."
Despite the initial concern, most neighbors hope the walk sends a message of strong police presence.
The community walk through is an extension of the old police administration. Police Chief Ray Tarasovic had planned to attend, but he was detained in a budget meeting.

Why Read Marx Today? (Paperback)Jonathan Wolff (author)
- In stock
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Number of pages: 144
Weight: 112 g
Dimensions: 196 x 128 x 10 mm
an engaging read * Economist *
This is an important and timely book, that deserves to be widely read, not just by philosophers, economists and political theorists, but by journalists, politicians, and anyone who wants to understand the world we live in today. The scholarship on which the book is based is impeccable, yet the presentation is accessible and engaging throughout. Wolff is clear and candid about where Marx was wrong, and direct and persuasive about where he was right and still important today. This may be the most important book on Marx in the last two decades, one that will mark a turning point in the public and intellectual reception of Marx's philosophy. * Brian Leiter, University of Texas at Austin *
In splendidly lucid prose, Jonathan Wolff explores the continuing appeal of Marx today. Deftly sifting the living from the dead in Marx's thought, Wolff shows how his criticisms of capitalism and liberalism have lost none of their urgency, even if his communist solutions prove unconvincing. * Professor Richard Bellamy, University of Reading *

Upon arriving in Buenos Aires, Candide and Cunégonde are brought to meet Don Fernando, the Governor. Don Fernando takes a clear interest in Cunégonde, and when Candide asks him to officiate in their marriage, Don Fernando sends him away to review the soldiers. Don Fernando then proposes to Cunégonde, who asks for a little time to decide. She consults with the old woman, who advises her to marry Don Fernando, and use his power to help make Candide's fortune.
Don Fernando is yet another authority figure who uses his power to try to take possession of Cunégonde. Once again, the possession of women is central to the chaos and conflict of the novel, in the New World as in the Old. The old woman's pragmatic, even cynical plan comes from her long experience of life and its troubles, stressed in previous chapters.
The old woman learns that an Alcade (magistrate) is about to land in Buenos Aires and arrest Candide for the murder of the Grand Inquisitor. The Alcade learned of the whereabouts of Candide and Cunégonde through the friar who stole their jewels and money in Spain. The old woman advises Candide to run away, and tells Cunégonde to stay, relying on Don Fernando to protect her.
Wealth and worldly goods bring Candide nothing but trouble throughout the novel. Here, the Inquisitor's jewels are what have lead to his discovery and second separation from Cunégonde.


Men who use their mobile phones a lot to make phone calls suffer a marked decrease in the number of sperm (sperm), in the force of their activity and movement, and in their buoyant abilities, according to the latest US study, which indicated the dangers of electromagnetic waves from mobile phones on male fertility. The study, which was carried out in 361 infertile people in the United States, and whose results were presented the day before yesterday at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in New Orleans.
The quantity and quality of the semen decreases with the increase in the hours of use of the mobile phone. And the research team, led by Ashok Agarwal, a researcher at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, monitored the harsh effects of mobile phone waves on callers for long periods, up to four hours a day, as their sperm production decreased. by 40 percent compared to men who never use the phone. A decrease in sperm count was also observed in men who used mobile phones for shorter periods. The study pointed to the possibility that the interference causes negative effects of electromagnetic waves from mobile phones on sperm production. Previous studies carried out in laboratories had indicated that the direct and severe impact of such waves leads to damage to sperm.
The results of the new study are similar to a study conducted by researchers at the Hungarian University of Szeged, which hypothesized that sperm count decreased by 30 percent in people who placed their mobile phones in their trouser pockets near of the testicles. The new results generated a division among the scientists, some of whom indicated that they monitor the relationship between the use of mobile phones and the number or concentration of sperm, without specifying the reasons for this, mainly because the waves do not directly affect the site of sperm production Likewise, the use of mobile phones may be associated with other factors such as stress and obesity, which are responsible for the phenomenon of low sperm concentration. Alan Percy, a researcher at the University of Sheffield in Britain, said the results are really strong, but he also assumes that mobile phone use may lead to another outcome which in turn leads to an effect on the testicles and thus therefore, to a decrease in the number of spermatozoa.
Aragal’s team studied four characteristics of spermatozoa: their number, motility, vitality and shape, and found variations in them in all the groups studied. The researcher said in his report that there is legitimate concern about the potential impact of mobile phones on male fertility.

We've had remakes galore from Disney this year, with new live-action versions of Aladdin, Dumbo and The Lion King all hitting the big screen.
Now, it's the turn of Lady and the Tramp, being made exclusively for the company's new streaming service Disney+.
The new film will follow roughly the same storyline as the original animated film, released back in 1955.
It's a tale of romance in which a well-loved and pampered pooch called Lady meets a loveable street dog called Tramp
So how much do we know about what the new film will be like?
But not this time! A cocker spaniel named Rose will play Lady.
Disney haven't just gone for polished, trained animals either. Two-year-old terrier mix Monte, who will take the part of Tramp, is actually a rescue dog - rather like the character.
He was found at Halo Animal Rescue Phoenix in the southern US state of Arizona.
The shelter's boss told US TV network KTVK that he was scouted by a group of Hollywood animal trainers.
Monte was apparently very popular among the staff due to his good behaviour and sloppy wet kisses, but he won't be returning there.
D23 - Disney's official fan club magazine - has reported that the entire cast of rescue dogs found "forever homes" after filming ended.
Monte's been adopted by a family in California but despite his touch of fame, he still enjoys a happy, normal life.
D23 also confirmed that Tramp will be voiced by Justin Theroux, who starred as the master code breaker in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
He is known for being a big dog lover, so he should have lots of experience to draw on when getting into the canine frame of mind.
The film is due to be released on Disney+ in November.

If you are struggling financially right now, you are not alone. Income inequality in the US is currently so bad it has given rise to the idea of the 99 percent, making Direct Lender Payday Loans more important than ever.
The Rules Have Changed
It’s time to forget a lot of the ideas you may have had at one time about which kinds of loans are good debt and which are bad debt. At one time, mortgages and student loans were both considered to be good debt, but this is no longer true. Both types of loans have seen their share of bad press in recent years.
Instead, you need to focus on borrowing that makes sense for you and moves your life forward. This may mean getting a Direct Lender Payday Loans such as a 100 Dollar Loan to avoid late fees or having a service canceled. It may mean taking out Emergency loans for rent.
The Benefits of Direct Lender Payday Loans
Historically, Payday Loans had a bad reputation. But in the face of widespread financial instability, the upsides of Direct Lender Payday Loans have become more important.
- You can get them without a hard credit check.
- They are primarily based on short term ability to repay, not on your credit score.
- They help solve an immediate financial need without a long term commitment.
How Do Direct Lender Payday Loans Work?
Direct Lender Payday Loans are short term Personal Loans. In other words, they aren’t secured by collateral. Instead, they are given based on income and your promise to repay.
Direct Lender Payday Loans that say “no credit check” usually mean no hard credit check. Soft credit checks also take less time so you can get your funds faster.
The Most Convenient Way To Borrow
These days, you can get Direct Lender Payday Loans via the internet. Online Loans are far more convenient than going someplace to apply in person because you can do it any time, day or night, and apply from the comfort of your own home.
They also typically direct deposit to your bank account or may load a pre-paid debit card. This means you don’t even have to visit a sketchy part of town and walk around it with a big wad of cash on you.
How To Apply
In fact, you can find Direct Lender Payday Loans through GreenPlaceLoans. You can start your online application right now. Here are some things you will need:
- ID showing that you are an American citizen or resident age 18 or older.
- A bank statement showing your bank information and proof of income.
In many cases, your phone can be used to image your ID. If you do banking online, you can probably get a PDF of your last bank statement.

Bayuk represented the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department during Bucknell University's Virtual Engineering Camp. She spoke to middle and high school students about what the electrical engineering curriculum entails, as well as her experiences as a student.
Bayuk chatted with middle school girls about electrical engineering and jobs in STEM.
After her presentation, she taught a hands-on lesson about circuits using littleBits.
Bayuk presented as a guest speaker during the Career Ready PA segment at the the PA School Guidance Counselor Symposium. She shared her story as an Electrical Engineer with more than 40 guidance counselors from 20 different school districts and discussed ways her book can be incorporated in their school's curriculum.
Bayuk virtually joined Microsoft's "Code a Talking Robot with Ohbot" event as a special guest speaker to give young girls insight about her experiences as an electrical engineer, as well as what they can do now to pursue their dreams of a future in STEM.
20 OCTOBER 2019
An amazing opportunity representing the Lewisburg Children's Museum in the Girl Scouts in the Heart of PA's STEAM Expo. Bayuk got to speak with the over 400 girls who were in attendance about her experiences as an electrical engineer at Bucknell and inspire them to dive deeper into STEAM with hands-on circuit-related activities: squishy circuits, build a battery, and snap circuits.


Last week, the City was notified that a new invasive species, European frog-bit, was found during a routine inspection by our water treatment and management group, PLM. The invasive species, which resembles a water lily with a single white flower sprouting from the middle, is currently only located in the channel between Reeds and Fisk Lake.
European frog-bit was most likely unknowingly introduced from someone dumping aquarium or water garden plants into the lake or a storm drain.
The DNR is currently working on an action plan, which will be provided to the City at the end of the month, on how to best address the issue. Treatment will take place next year with the initial treatment possibly being funded through the State.
“Fortunately, we found the European frog-bit very early in its infestation, which will allow us to aggressively curb its growth,” City Manager Brian Donovan said. “The City is committed to protecting our lakes and regularly works with PLM to manage and control non-native, hostile vegetation in our natural resources.”
The City reminds residents to not dispose of aquarium or water garden plants and contents into our lakes and streams because vegetation used in these displays is often non-native to our area.

During the week, Manny Carames hunts down debtors in a shirt and tie. Fredrik Ericsson tallies numbers for a Fort Lauderdale accounting firm.
On Saturday, they tried to become kids again -- donning silly hats, splashing down water slides and grinning harder than the cartoon characters they scrambled to have their pictures taken with.
They were among tens of thousands who descended upon the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World on Saturday for "Gay Day," an unsanctioned but annual event that attracts gays and lesbians -- and protests from social conservatives -- to America's fantasy land.
The event began eight years ago simply with a note posted on a computer message board. At first, only a smattering of people turned out for it. But as opponents launched boycotts of Disney and organized protests against it, the event continued to grow.
Now it encompasses four amusement parks in Orlando and lasts five days. Organizers say it draws as many as 100,000 people.
"We're having fun," said Carames, a 27-year-old bill collector from Fort Lauderdale, soaking wet after a ride on Splash Mountain. "We're having a good time. It's not really a political thing. We just want to let everyone know that we are here."
Across the park, Tanya Brown frowned at the small groups of men and women dressed in red and holding hands or kissing. She had come from Boston to Disney World with three children, ages 8, 9, and 11.
"We planned this as a special experience for the kids," she said. "They are spending the whole time asking me, "Mommy why are those men doing that?' "
"It's part of life," said Martin Brewer on his way to Tomorrowland with his wife, Jeannie, and 18-month-old son. "It doesn't matter one way or the other. Children are going to grow up whichever way they grow up. Who am I to object?"
Gay Day has been opposed strongly by conservative groups who say that Disney has tacitly sanctioned homosexuality by allowing the event to take place. Disney denies the charge.
A few years ago, Disney posted signs at Magic Kingdom entrances telling visitors they were entering the park on a day when there would be many gay and lesbian guests. But they dropped that practice several years ago, spokeswomen Diane Ledder said.
"Our community has become pretty familiar with it," Ledder said of Gay Day. "These people are buying tickets just like everyone else. Everyone is equally welcome. We do not distinguish this group from any of our other guests."
In the week before Gay Day, a coalition of conservative groups was rebuffed in its attempt to air anti-gay advertisements on local television stations declaring that homosexuality is learned behavior that can be changed through religious faith. The advertisements ran on four Christian stations instead.
On Saturday, two twin-engine planes sputtered through the blue sky above the pointy spires of Cinderella's Castle with dueling messages, hoping to grab the attention of the sweaty throngs below.
One plane carried an ad for Rainbow Voices, an online gay chat group.
The second plane carried the message "Freedom from Homosexuality: Jesus Christ!"
"It's annoying that someone is unable to just let people have a good time," said Gay Day organizer Doug Swallow. "It's like they are trying to change you and are saying you won't be a valid human being until you do change. It's just frustrating."
Under the banner planes, groups of gay men and women in red shirts -- a color picked so gays would be able to spot one another -- wandered through the thick crowds, standing in long lines for rides like Splash Mountain and the Haunted House, posing for pictures with larger-than-life Disney characters and shopping in the stores along Main Street.
"It's like we are living the fantasy," said Debbie Coyne, who rode in a giant-sized pink tea cup on the Mad Tea Party ride with her friend Stephanie Collins. "I've been coming here since I was 4. Today I feel like I am among family."
The gathering began modestly in 1991 when Swallow posted a note on a computer message board listing a series of social outings for gays and lesbians in the Central Florida area, including a visit to Disney one afternoon in June. The occasion drew the biggest response of any of the other gatherings when about 1,000 people showed up, Swallow said.
The following year, a larger crowd turned out based on word of mouth. Then gay groups actively began to promote and organize the event. By the mid-1990s, the event was drawing crowds of up to 35,000 gays.
In 1998, dozens of protesters lined an access road to the park condemning the event. But on Saturday, except for the banner on the airplane above, open protest at the park seemed to have vanished.
"It really has taken on a life of its own," Swallow said.

BUSINESS is booming at a Morpeth restaurant which has transformed a flood-hit building.
Beetroot Grill and Café launched late last year and after coming through a range of issues, including heavy snow and ice during its opening weeks, business partners Neville King and Kate Hannaford are now serving more than 1,200 customers a week and are on target to achieve their projected turnover of £500,000.
The pair had been searching for 18 months for premises to launch their start-up business when they came across the property in Morpeth town centre.
Despite the building having been damaged by flooding in 2008, they approached Lloyds TSB Commercial with their plans for renovation and the bank provided a £77,000 Enterprise Finance Guarantee loan, enabling the pair to repair and furnish the property.
A three-month restoration project saw the completion of the mezzanine level café, and a month later, the lower floor grill restaurant.
Ms Hannaford said: “Launching our business has not been without its challenges. Aside from it being our first venture, initially we both still had full-time jobs in a food factory and the harsh winter weather over Christmas made it even more of a challenge to get business up and running.
“However, with the unwavering support from Lloyds TSB Commercial and the busy grand opening last month, the success of Beetroot Grill and Café has exceeded our expectations.”
Relationship Manager for Lloyds TSB Commercial Rachel Gowland said: “Having seen some of the difficulties Kate and Neville have faced over the past 18 months, the success of the restaurant so far is testament to their determination and belief in their business ideas.”
Before opening, Beetroot held a Morpeth Masterchef competition to find a chef de partie. It was won by local man Terry Graham.

National television station France 2 equipped a Syrian woman with a hidden camera under her niqab to document everyday life in the city of Raqqa, an ISIS-controlled city in northern Syria.
The resulting footage shows men and women carrying AK-47′s as if they’re everyday accessories. One man orders a woman to cover 100% of her face because “God loves women who are covered.” French women are seen talking with loved ones back home, reassuring them that they’re okay and defending their choice to move to Syria as jihadi brides.
The entire video opens a shocking window for Westerners into everyday life under the extreme rule of ISIS…
In an effort to see how various cultures perceive and portray beauty, journalist Priscilla Yuki Wilson sent this photo to designers in over 25 countries around the world…
Her request was simple: “Make me beautiful.”
If this all sounds familiar, it’s because Wilson’s friend Esther Honig embarked on the same project earlier this year. Wilson wanted to repeat the endeavor to see how different the results would be for someone who is biracial. Wilson’s mother is Japanese and her father is Black, creating a unique element for designers to work with.
In the Chinese city of Chongqing, they are trying something new to protect those who text while they’re on the road…and those who are near them. No, it’s not meant to help drivers who text — there’s no excuse or accommodation for that dangerously obnoxious habit. This is a special adaptation for those who can’t stop texting while they walk.
In September 2001, Heather “Lucky” Penney was a young, inexperienced F-16 pilot with the 121st Fighter Squadron of the D.C. Air National Guard. As the first female pilot in her squadron, it was a dream come true; her father had served as a fighter pilot in Vietnam, so when Congress opened up combat aviation to women, she was the first in line:
I signed up immediately. I wanted to be a fighter pilot like my dad.
But on that fateful Tuesday morning thirteen years ago, 26-year-old Lt. Penney was called upon to make the greatest sacrifice of her life…bring down United Airlines flight 93, no matter what. Even knowing that the pilot for one of the planes could be her own father, Penney was prepared to take them down —
Several months ago, Phil Laboon asked the woman he thought was the love of his life to marry him. But, unfortunately, things didn’t work out for them and they called off the wedding. So Phil was left with a scheduled reception that had already been paid for — almost $20,000 of food, drink, and entertainment.
Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he decided to make the best of a bad situation, and used his prepaid wedding resources to host a charity ball.
Selling out all the $75 tickets and taking additional donations online and at the party, Laboon and friends raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Surgicorps International, which performs free surgeries for children in developing countries.
The nonprofit has performed over 4,000 surgeries in over 18 countries and looks forward to being able to continue their mission thanks in part to the generosity of Laboon and all his guests.
It was obviously pretty heartbreaking for everybody involved. But this ended up becoming a really good scenario…. Bad things happen, but nothing I experience will ever be equal to the obstacles these kids face each day of their lives.
Almost every map of the United States features Alaska in a box at the bottom left. And since the state is so huge, the map in the box is necessarily lacking in detail compared to the rest of the states. Well, not anymore.
Sick of their state being relegated to a vaguely approximate inset, some cartographically inclined Alaskan created this map of the United States…
Lillian Weber is 99 years old, and she has a goal… She is intent on making 1,000 dresses by the time she turns 100 this coming May. And so far, it looks like she will — Lillian has made 840 dresses and shows no sign of stopping…
For the past few years, Lillian has been sewing a dress a day for children in need. She donates them to Little Dresses For Africa, a charity that gives clothes to children in Africa and elsewhere around the world.

As the Syrian Civil War continues the death count rises in terrible numbers every day. Since the conflict began in 2011, over 200,000 people have died.
But amid the terror, there is a small army of unarmed and politically impartial volunteers bringing hope to as many as they can. They are the Syrian Civil Defence, called the White Helmets, and they do what one journalist who spent time with them called the most dangerous job in the most dangerous city.
They immediately rush into any scene of bombing or battle against civilians to find and rescue anyone they can.
When Deputy British Ambassador to the U.S. Patrick Davies wrote an article last week commemorating the 200th anniversary of the British troops burning the White House, he noted the peaceful relationship that has existed between the two allies since then for nearly two centuries.
“Needless to say, we’ve put the events of August 1814 far behind us,” he declared.
What happened in August of 1814, you ask? Here’s a reminder…
That’s right, they burned down the White House.
Two years ago, British Prime Minister David Cameron met President Barack Obama at the “new” White House and they exchanged jokes about the event. Obama noted that the Brits “really lit the place up,” with Cameron responding that “you’ve got the place a little better defended today. You’re clearly not taking any risks with the Brits this time.”
So when Davies tweeted a joke about the fire that destroyed the home occupied by President James Madison, it appeared to be a simple, hilarious continuation of the friendly relationship between the two nations…
Of course, the light-hearted nature of Davies’ tweet was a bit out of place in Washington, a city that’s not exactly known for being laid back or humorous. Several people immediately recognized the risk Davies took in posting the cheeky tweet…

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Maverick is 2 years old, weighs 10 pounds, is drop-dead gorgeous, has the most beautiful liquid brown eyes, and is extremely generous with his kisses. He will sit in your lap all day, or beside you, if you wish. He loves to go for car rides and travels well on long trips. His plans can change at the drop of a hat to accommodate yours, as long as he can accompany you.
Now for the things that Maverick requires: He needs someone who is home most of the time. He can be left alone only for short periods of time because he has separation anxiety. (It's a Griff thing so please don't think you can work it out.) He is afraid of most men and prefers women. He needs a large wire crate, not a plastic kennel, if you must leave him.
Someone who works from home or who is retired would be perfect. No kids please, but another dog or two his size who love to play and run are important. Maverick loves to run so a securely fenced back yard is a necessity, not a luxury. He is a flight risk, so he must be securely harnessed & leashed on walks and crated in the car.
Cats are okay as long as they don't mind being chased -- in a loving way, of course.
Maverick is located in the Phoenix metro area.
Keep in mind that we prefer to place dogs within driving distance of where they are being fostered. If someone from outside the local area is approved for adoption, they must be willing to fly in to get the dog and that can only happen if the dog is stable enough to travel in the cabin with the passenger. Under no circumstances can our dogs ever be shipped in cargo.
If you are interested in adopting Maverick, please submit an adoption application at www.abgra.org.. If you have any questions, please contact us at the email link below.

If your eye doctor has told you that you need to undergo cataract surgery, you likely want to know what to expect during and after cataract surgery.
Read below to learn what you can expect from your cataract surgery with Dr. Cory Bergman, MD, in Rapid City, South Dakota, and Casper, Wyoming.
Before your cataract surgery, speaking to your eye doctor about any pre-existing conditions you may have is important. While cataract surgery rarely causes any severe bleeding, Dr. Bergman checks to ensure you have any conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes under control.
If you are taking aspirin or other anti-clotting medications, speak with the doctor who prescribed them and your eye doctor in advance.
The day before the surgery, you receive instructions on what to do before arriving for your appointment. Typically these instructions include fasting for 12 hours before surgery and avoiding contact lenses for up to three days beforehand.
Once you arrive for your cataract surgery, the staff administers an IV sedative and local anesthesia to keep you calm. According to your doctor's orders, the medical team administers eye drops to your eyes before and after the surgery.
You are awake during the surgery, and the operation typically takes around thirty minutes.
The surgeon makes a small incision to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial plastic lens.
You are likely to be at the surgical facility for several hours from start to finish, as nurses observe you in the recovery room for about half an hour. After clearing you to leave, you must have someone drive you home as you cannot drive immediately after cataract surgery.
For several weeks after your surgery, you apply anti-inflammatory and prescription antibiotic eye drops several times daily. These help prevent inflammation and infection from occurring at the surgery site. You also have to wear an eye shield a week after your surgery while sleeping.
You then see Dr. Bergman for several follow-up visits. These are typically scheduled the day after and then one week, one month, and six months after surgery. During these follow-up visits, the doctor checks how the eye is healing, measures your eye pressure, and tests your visual acuity.
While not always the case, Dr. Bergman may also provide you with or recommend wearing sunglasses outside.
To learn more about cataract surgery or begin the process, call your nearest office or schedule an appointment online today.

Earlier today the Clinton NC Campaign held a conference call. Former NC Secretary of Cultural Resources Betty Ray McCain, former State Senator Allen Wellons, and North Carolina State Director Ace Smith participated in discussing Barack Obama's "small town" comments. Later an NC "open letter" was released and is reproduced in its entirety:
North Carolinians Decry Senator Obama's Comments on Small Town America in an Open Letter
In response to comments made by Senator Obama this week at a fundraiser in San Francisco, North Carolinians from across the Tar Heel State lent their names to an open letter decrying his characterization of those living in small towns.
BACKGROUND: At a fundraiser in San Francisco this week, Senator Obama shared his views of Americans from small towns: “it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
The text of the open letter from North Carolinians follows.
Dear Senator Obama:
This week at a fundraiser in San Francisco you denigrated people who live in small town America saying that "they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them, or anti-immigrant sentiments or anti-trade sentiments as a way to explain their frustrations."
We are from small town America – we are the people you are talking about, the people you say are leading "bitter" lives. Well, Senator Obama, nothing could be further from the truth. Here in small town America we lead productive lives full of belief in God and country. We live in communities where we go to church because we are hopeful, not because we are bitter. We believe that our passion for fair trade is born out of the principle of fair play, not frustration. We believe that the future of our country is bright and reflected every day in the stars and stripes of our country's flag.
We need a leader who will stand up for small town North Carolina and all Americans. Someone who understands that we are a resilient and hopeful people who are proud of our values and our communities. That, Senator Obama, is what this country needs.

I don't think Betty McCain and Tom Hendrickson are the kind of small town folk Barack Obama was talking about.
Obama responses to Clinton in the news this PM:
Obama’s camp also held a conference call Saturday featuring Pennsylvania mayors. Lancaster Mayor Richard Gray said that he would use the word angry rather than bitter to describe small town moods. He also disagreed with Obama’s original statement which implied that rural Americans clung to their religion or their guns as a crutch. Clinton and her supporters honed in on that portion of the remarks in speeches and news events today, hoping for an opening that might allow the former first lady to close the gap to Obama.
Gray also said he believed Obama offered the chance to shift the focus to more pressing matters, and would more ably represent the needs of small town American than would Sen. Clinton. Gray called the responses to the remarks put forth by Clinton and Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, as more condescending than Obama’s original words were.

Scribe's organically farmed Estate vineyard on the southwest-facing slope of Arrowhead Mountain in the southern Mayacamas Volcanic range. Clones 667, Martini, Pommard, Chalone, Mt. Eden, and Wadenswill are planted in volcantic tuff and local Huichica Loam. Watch the story on IGTV.
2018 meteorological data: After several years of drought and the North Bay fires at the end of the 2017 harvest, the 2018 vintage was a welcome return to "normal." The winter was cool and with steady rainfall that delayed bud break by about 3-4 weeks compared to the previous years of drought & irregularly warm winters. The flowering period had a minimal amount of rain and wind which provided for nearly ideal fruit set. The rest of the growing season we experienced cool and foggy mornings that allowed for the grapes to ripen slowly. We had our longest harvest to-date starting on August 22nd and ending on October 30th.

New Delhi - A DoT panel has suggested a base price of Rs 3,646 crore per Mhz for the auction of CDMA spectrum, 17 percent higher than what the regulator Trai has recommended.
Also, the price suggested by an internal panel of Department of Telecom (DoT) is almost equivalent to that of premium 900 Mhz band, which is considered more efficient than other GSM frequency bands.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) last month recommended a base price of Rs 3,104 crore per megahertz, which was already 15 per higher than the price that the regulator suggested in February this year.
New Delhi - Telecom regulator TRAI has fixed midnight of November 29 as deadline for subscribers of Loop Mobile to shift to other networks while retaining their numbers by using the MNP facility.
Loop Mobile's permit in Mumbai is expiring on November 29 as it did not purchase spectrum in February auction which was mandatory for continuing its operations.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India today directed Mobile Number Portability service provider "not to process the request for porting in respect of mobile telephone numbers belonging to Loop Mobile...As donor operator after 23:59:59 hours of 29th November".
Mumbai - The Bombay High Court on Friday ruled Vodafone is not liable to pay an income tax demand of Rs 3,200 crore in a case relating to transfer pricing, a verdict which comes as a big relief for the UK-based mobile service provider already locked in a big tax dispute with the Government.
The I-T Department had asked the company to pay additional income tax alleging that it had undervalued its shares in the subsidiary Vodafone India Services while transferring them to the parent company in Britain. The transaction took place in FY10.
New Delhi - Norwegian telecom major Telenor on Friday said that it is evaluating 'Payment Banks' business opportunity in the country.
"It is a good step forward. In many countries we are leading mobile money services. I welcome the structure and we will surely have look at it," Telenor Group CEO Jon Fredrik Baksaas said in reply to company's interest in setting up Payment Banks in the country.
The Reserve Bank of India had issued draft guidelines for setting up Payment Banks to facilitate small savings accounts, payments and remittance services to migrant labour workforce. As per draft guidelines mobile service providers are also eligible for setting up payment banks.
Srinagar: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Friday joined other service providers in announcing relief to customers in the Valley during the period when the state was hit by floods.
The company said it would not charge its customers in Jammu and Kashmir for the telecommunication services for the month of September for not being able to provide the services fully during the period.
The announcement came following state Governor NN Vohra's suggestion in this regard to RN Sudhakar, chief general manager, BSNL, Jammu and Kashmir Circle, who called on the Governor at Raj Bhavan yesterday.
New Delhi: Acting on the directions of the Supreme Court, the government has issued fresh orders for permanent appointment of an Enforcement Directorate (ED) officer in the agency who has been tasked with the probe into the
2G spectrum allocation case.
The Finance Ministry, on September 13, issued orders for appointing Rajeshwar Singh as Deputy Director in the agency on "absorption basis with immediate effect".
The apex court had issued directions in this regard on September 8 after it was informed that Singh's appointment has not been made regular by the government despite an order from the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) which was issued in December last year.
New Delhi: GSM based telecom players added 48.5 lakh new subscribers in July to take the total user base to 74.44 crore, industry body COAI said Thursday.
The GSM subscriber base stood at 73.95 crore at the end of June 2014, the Cellular Association of India (COAI) said.
COAI, which represents telecom players like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular, said the data does not include GSM subscriber number of Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices.
Reliance Jio Infocomm had also joined the body recently.
New Delhi: Network solutions major Ericsson Tuesday said it has won a contract from Vodafone India to deploy its payment solutions in seven circles for the country's second largest telecom operator.
Financial details of the deal were not revealed.
The five-year contract covers new circles of Uttar Pradesh (W), Uttar Pradesh (E), Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, besides Mumbai and Maharashtra.
"Ericsson Charging platform to be launched across 7 Vodafone circles, enabling new revenue-generating features and potential payment convergence across prepaid and postpaid segments," it said in a statement.
New Delhi - Gross revenue of 22 telecom operators, including Bharti Airtel, RCom, BSNL and Tata Teleservices, declined in October-December quarter of 2013 compared to the previous quarter, government said on Monday.
New Delhi: Telecom regulator Trai on Thursday began the consultation process for the next round of auctions for spectrum held by mobile operators - Airtel, Vodafone, Idea and RCom - as some of their licences are set to expire in 2015-16.
"The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has today released consultation paper on valuation and spectrum price: Licence expiring in 2015-16," Trai said in a statement.
The process will determine the reserve price of spectrum to be auctioned across 18 out of the 22 telecom service areas across the country for 900 Mhz and 1800 Mhz bands, used for providing mobile services based on GSM technology standard.
New Delhi: Telecom operators such as Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, RCom, Aircel, Tata Tele and BSNL have not paid penalties totalling Rs 2,116.95 crore levied on them for non-compliance of subscriber verification rules that are important for national security, CAG said in its report.
"We further noticed that out of Rs 2506.80 crore of penalty levied by the DoT and the TERM Cells during 2009 to 2012 for defective CAFs, the service providers had paid only Rs 389.85 crore," the Comptroller and Auditor General
(CAG) said in its latest report.

WRAPUP-Games-Asian Games tarnished by another doping case
By Julian Linden
INCHEON, South Korea, Oct 3 (Reuters) - The Asian Games was hit by yet another doping scandal on Friday when China's Zhang Wenxiu was expelled and stripped of the gold medal she won in the hammer throw.
The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) announced that Zhang, an Olympic medallist in Beijing in 2008, had tested positive for Zeranol, a banned anabolic agent.
She became the sixth competitor, and the second gold medallist, to fail a drugs test in Incheon, leaving an ugly stain on Asia's biggest multi-sports event, which ends in Incheon on Saturday.
The announcement came one day after Malaysia's martial arts champion Tai Cheau Xuen lost an appeal to be reinstated after testing positive for a banned stimulant.
Cambodian soft tennis player Yi Sophany, Tajikistan footballer Khurshed Beknazarov, Iraqi weightlifter Mohammed Jasim Abboo Al Aifuri and Syrian karate competitor Nour Aldin Al-Kurdi also tested positive.
News of the latest positive test overshadowed the penultimate day's competition where China won another seven gold medals to take their total to 149, with just seven more to be decided on Saturday before the Closing Ceremony.
Hosts South Korea won another four golds on Friday to lift their total to 77, second overall, while Kazakhstan had an extraordinary day, winning eight golds to remain fourth.
Six of those came in the boxing ring as their amateur pugilists dominated the men's finals.
Middleweight Zhanibek Alimkhanuly and light heavyweight Adilbek Niyazymbetov both scored impressive wins, while flyweight Ilyas Suleimenov took gold in a scrappy split decision win over Uzbekistan's Shakhobidin Zoirov.
"This success comes from the previous generation," said Suleimenov. "Our head coaches are great and the boxing system and facilities in our country are well developed."
Kazakhstan also won gold in the welterweight, heavyweight and super heavyweight divisions, the final bout of the day a clash between Ivan Dychko and Jassem Delavari.
Dychko landed more of the few clean punches that found their mark to earn a unanimous decision.
"I want to celebrate today with my country. We got six golds, one silver and one bronze medal. I'm so happy with this result," he said.
Sri Lanka won their first Asian Games gold medal since 2002 with a crushing 68-run win over Afghanistan in the men's cricket final.
Unlike the previous day, when Sri Lanka won a coin toss to get into the gold medal match after their semi-final with Bangladesh was washed out, luck played no part in the final.
With a strong squad featuring three members of the team that won this year's Twenty20 World Cup, Sri Lanka made 133 then bowled out Afghanistan for just 65.
"This is a great feeling, because this is our first gold medal since 2002," said Sri Lanka captain Lahiru Thirimanne, who top scored with 57 off just 37 balls.
Afghanistan took the silver medal of the second time a row, a remarkable achievement for a war-torn new to the game.
Most of the country's players learnt to play cricket in refugee camp in neighbouring Pakistan during the occupation by the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
"This is a good sign for us, another silver medal is good," said Afghan captain Mohammad Nabi.
Bahrain won the men's marathon around the streets of Incheon when Kenyan-born Ali Hasan Mahboob crossed the finish line first after seeing off a spirited challenge from Japan's Kohei Matsumara.
Mahboob, who switched nationalities to the gulf country in 2005, is one of a string of African-born runners who have dominated athletics at the Asian Games, provoking strong debate as to whether their success is good for the sport or whether it could lead to a reluctance to invest in home-grown talent.
Another Kenyan-born runner, Eunice Jepkirui Kirwa, also won gold for Bahrain in the women's marathon on Thursday.
Japan won nine medals on Friday but no golds, losing the men's volleyball final to Iran in the last event of the day.
Qiu Bo won the men's 10-metre platform title and He Zi successfully defended her 3-metre springboard as China completed a clean sweep of the 10 gold medals in diving.
Since joining the Asian Games in 1974, China has won every diving event contested, an unbeaten streak stretching 40 years.
Cambodia captured their first ever gold medal at the Asian Games, and their first of any colour since 1970, when teenager Seavmey Sorn women's under 73 kilogram taekwondo event, beating Iran's Fatemeh Rouhani in the final. (Editing by Amlan Chakraborty)

It was decided that after 1947, August and Ramazanul Mubarak are falling in the same month, it would be pledged that Pakistan will be made a sovereign, prosperous and independent country in accordance with the ideals of Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal by eliminating poverty, price-hike, unemployment, loadshedding and lawlessness.
Functions will be held in all districts in this regard. The central ceremony will be held on August 05 in Lahore. A national conference with regard to energy, trade and education will be arranged in Karachi at the end of August. Senator Ishaq Dar, Ahsan Iqbal, Senator Pervez Rasheed, Senator Mushahidullah, Anusha Rehman, Tariq Azeem and Chief Minister, Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif also participated in the meeting.
later,a statment issued from President Pakistan Muslim League-N, Muhammad Nawaz Sharif,in which he said that the conspiracies of delaying general elections for a year is a self-deception and if anyone has such a plan in his mind, he should forget it as PML-N will strongly oppose such conspiracies. He said that early and fair elections are the only solution to all crises being faced by the country. He said that PML-N has resolved the issue of a unanimous Chief Election Commissioner by remaining in assembly and if PML-N had come out of assemblies, Zardari government would have created a new crisis in the country by appointing its favourite Chief Election Commissioner. He said that Muslim League-N has ensured the appointment of unanimous Chief Election Commissioner and it will also ensure the setting up of caretaker governments in the country. Muhammad Nawaz Sharif said that Zardari government has ruined the country during last four years and every passing day of the present government is becoming very harmful for the nation. He said that the present government has destroyed the economy of the country due to its inefficiency and incapability as a result of which the loadshedding, price-hike, unemployment and poverty have made the life of the people miserable. He said that the freedom, sovereignty, security and solidarity of a country which has weak economy becomes at stake. He said that strong economy is vital for the stability and solidarity of the country.
Muhammad Nawaz Sharif said had the policies of PML-N been continued, Pakistan would have been included in the most developing countries of Asia. He disclosed that the Manifesto Committee of PML-N has evolved a comprehensive programme of energy, trade and education through which country would be able to join the ranks of fastest progressing countries of Asia. He said that lack of quality education and job opportunities is the most serious issue being faced by the youth of the country and it is only through bringing about an industrial revolution that unemployment can be controlled. He said that in view of the agriculture economy of Pakistan, industries will be set up across the country so that rural areas could also benefit from progress and development. He said that the present government and its allies are responsible for existing situation, who have given importance to their personal interests while brought miseries to 18 crore people of Pakistan. He said that the problems of the people have been aggravated by the government by load-shedding in the holy month of Ramzan. He said that load-shedding problem is artificial to a large extent as it is the result of corruption and inefficiency of the rulers. He said that if the government pays serious attention to this issue and curtails its lavish expenditure, then load-shedding can be overcome within 48 hours through the provision of additional resources. He said that south Punjab will prove to be a bastion of Pakistan Muslim League-N as its government has initiated a large number of development projects in this region and the way Chief Minister Punjab Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has supervised the relief and rehabilitation activities for the flood affectees, will always be remembered by the masses.

Foreign Relations Committee Approves Gardner’s North Korea Sanctions Bill
Washington, DC – The Senate Foreign Relations Committee today approved Senator Cory Gardner’s (R-CO) North Korea Sanctions Policy and Enhancement Act. The legislation would impose mandatory sanctions on individuals who contribute to North Korea’s nuclear program and proliferation activities, its malicious cyberattacks, as well as individuals involved in censorship and who have contributed to the regime’s continued human rights abuses. This legislation, if enacted and signed into law, would be the first passed by Congress to impose mandatory sanctions on cybercriminals, providing a drastic new direction away from the current discretionary sanctions. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Jim Risch (R-ID), David Perdue (R-GA), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Roy Blunt (R-MO), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), John Cornyn (R-TX), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Steve Daines (R-MT), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Pat Roberts (R-KS), and Mike Rounds (R-SD) are cosponsors of the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act.
“The Obama Administration’s policy of ‘strategic patience’ toward North Korea has been a strategic failure. Despite North Korea’s repeated nuclear tests and long record of gross human rights atrocities, which represent a grave threat to global security, North Korea’s Forgotten Maniac has been met with indifference instead of strength. North Korea’s fourth nuclear test earlier this month marks the third nuclear test to take place during the Obama Administration, providing further evidence that Pyongyang’s capabilities are growing and reaffirming that we can no longer afford to turn a blind eye to the North Korean threat,” said Gardner. “The North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act imposes broad, mandatory sanctions on the North Korean regime in order to apply the pressure required to change North Korea’s pattern of illicit activities that have gone unchecked for too long. I thank Chairman Corker for his leadership, and look forward to this bill moving through the legislative process.”
As Chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific, and International Cybersecurity Policy, Gardner has long advocated to address the North Korean threat through legislative action. In April, he urged the Obama Administration to act following reports that the regime is expanding its nuclear stockpile. In May, he introduced a resolution urging new sanctions on North Korea in reaction to the regime’s long history of human rights abuses, military threats, and international law violations. In August, he met with South Korean President Park Geun-hye and discussed the threat the regime poses to South Korea and the region.
In October, Gardner chaired a Foreign Relations Committee hearing on North Korea and the Obama Administration’s failed policies, and reacted to the Obama Administration’s announcement of limited new sanctions, calling them “not nearly enough.” Later that month, Gardner along with Senators Rubio and Risch introduced the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act. In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Gardner discusses the legislation he introduced and urges action against the “Forgotten Maniac.” After the regime’s nuclear test in early January, Gardner responded by calling for immediate action and was disappointed the President failed to mention North Korea or its most recent test during his final State of the Union address. On January 12, 2016, the House of Representatives passed legislation that imposes sanctions on North Korea, and the Senate is expected to act in the coming weeks.
Cory Gardner is a member of the U.S. Senate serving Colorado. He sits on the Energy & Natural Resources Committee, the Foreign Relations Committee, the Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee, and the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Committee, and is the Chairman of the Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific, and International Cybersecurity Policy.

On the first day in Vivanta we did a walk around the Island. This took us about 15 minutes (but only because we stopped to take photos every 2 metres). If you were to walk at a normal pace then it would only take about 5 minutes to get around the entire Island. It is very small but very beautiful. There is a coral reef that surrounds the Island and it is full of fish and other marine life. This reef was our ‘backyard’ and so snorkelling became our new favourite hobby.
This is the deck of our room – an overwater bungalo – where we sunbaked every day!
The water was seriously our backyard!
I felt a bit stupid trying on my new snorkelling gear… but to Nektarios’ supprise i was always the first to jump in the water!
Here is a clip of us feeding the fish on our first day… getting ready to swim in the ocean (or our backyard).
Here are some pics of our ‘backyard’ and of us snorkelling:

What on earth is a UML Diagram?
UML is actually a strategy for visualizing a program plan using a set of diagrams. The notation has advanced from your function of Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, Ivar Jacobson, as well as the Rational Program Company to be used for object-oriented structure, nevertheless it has given that been extended to cover a wider variety of program engineering assignments. Currently, UML is accepted by the Object Administration Group (OMG) as being the normal for modeling program advancement.
Enhanced integration among structural designs like class diagrams and conduct designs like action diagrams.
Included the chance to define a hierarchy and decompose a program procedure into components and sub-components.
The first UML specified nine diagrams; UML 2.x brings that variety as many as thirteen. The four new diagrams are named: interaction diagram, composite structure diagram, interaction overview diagram, and timing diagram. Additionally, it renamed statechart diagrams to point out equipment diagrams, generally known as point out diagrams.
UML Diagram Tutorial
The main element to making a UML diagram is connecting designs that depict an object or class with other designs As an instance interactions as well as the circulation of data and information. To learn more about generating UML diagrams:
Forms of UML Diagrams
The existing UML criteria call for thirteen differing types of diagrams: class, action, object, use situation, sequence, bundle, point out, element, interaction, composite structure, interaction overview, timing, and deployment.
These diagrams are structured into two distinctive teams: structural diagrams and behavioral or interaction diagrams.
Structural UML diagrams
Composite structure diagram
Behavioral UML diagrams
Use situation diagram
Interaction overview diagram
Timing diagram Course Diagram
Course diagrams would be the spine of almost every object-oriented technique, such as UML. They explain the static structure of the procedure. Bundle Diagram
Bundle diagrams absolutely are a subset of class diagrams, but developers from time to time treat them as being a independent procedure. Bundle diagrams organize elements of the procedure into similar teams to minimize dependencies among packages.
UML Bundle Diagram Item Diagram
Item diagrams explain the static structure of the procedure at a particular time. They may be utilized to take a look at class diagrams for precision.
UML Item Diagram
Composite Framework Diagram
Composite structure diagrams present The inner Section of a category.
Use situation diagrams design the features of the procedure using actors and use circumstances.
UML Use Circumstance Diagram Exercise Diagram
Exercise diagrams illustrate the dynamic nature of the procedure by modeling the circulation of control from action to action. An action represents an Procedure on some class from the procedure that results in a modify from the point out with the procedure. Ordinarily, action diagrams are utilized to design workflow or business processes and inside Procedure.
UML Exercise Diagram Sequence Diagram
Sequence diagrams explain interactions between classes regarding an Trade of messages over time.
UML Sequence Diagram Interaction Overview Diagram
Interaction overview diagrams are a combination of action and sequence diagrams. They design a sequence of actions and allow you to deconstruct more elaborate interactions into workable occurrences. You should use exactly the same notation on interaction overview diagrams that you'd probably see on an action diagram.
A timing diagram is actually a kind of behavioral or interaction UML diagram that focuses on processes that happen for the duration of a specific period of time. They're a Exclusive occasion of the sequence diagram, besides time is proven to raise from still left to ideal in place of top rated down.
Communication diagrams design the interactions among objects in sequence. They explain both equally the static structure as well as the dynamic conduct of the procedure. In some ways, a interaction diagram is actually a simplified Model of the collaboration diagram launched in UML 2.0.
Statechart diagrams, now often known as point out equipment diagrams and point out diagrams explain the dynamic conduct of the procedure in response to exterior stimuli. State diagrams are Primarily beneficial in modeling reactive objects whose states are triggered by distinct occasions.
UML State Diagram Element Diagram
Element diagrams explain the Group of Bodily program components, such as supply code, operate-time (binary) code, and executables..
UML Element Diagram Deployment Diagram
Deployment diagrams depict the Bodily resources in a procedure, such as nodes, components, and connections.
UML Diagram Symbols
There are lots of differing types of UML diagrams and every has a slightly various symbol established.
Course diagrams are perhaps Probably the most prevalent UML diagrams applied and class diagram symbols focus on defining attributes of a category. For example, you will discover symbols for Energetic classes and interfaces. A class symbol will also be divided to show a category's functions, attributes, and obligations.
Visualizing person interactions, processes, as well as the structure with the procedure you might be seeking to Establish should help conserve time down the line and ensure Everybody to the crew is on exactly the same web site.
