Russian President says if the European Union imposes an oil embargo, Europe will buy energy at the most expensive price and economic activity in Europe will weaken. Rosneft needs to change its business model. Russia will help facilitate settlement and access to loans and insurance in its own currency.
According to Reuters, the European Commission will unveil a 210 billion euro plan on how Europe can end its dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2027 and use its distance from Moscow to accelerate a shift to green energy. According to a draft document seen by Reuters, Brussels will propose a three-pronged plan to wean countries off Russian fuel: switch to importing more non-Russian gas, move more quickly to promote renewable energy, and work harder to conserve energy. The draft measures, which include EU law, non-binding plans, and possible recommendations by national governments, are subject to change before publication.
Austria is not a member of NATO and will not seek membership in the future, the Austrian Foreign Minister said in Brussels recently. He stressed that it was "their choice" for Sweden and Finland to seek NATO membership, while Austria would remain neutral.
The supply and prices of many other titanium carbide are expected to continue to be influenced by international situations.
Carbothermal reduction method
TiO2 is reduced by carbon black. The reaction temperature range is 1700-2100℃. The chemical reaction formula is as follows:
TiO2 (s) + 3C (s) = TiC (S) + 2CO (g).
Direct carbonization method
Ti powder reacts with carbon powder to form TiC. The chemical reaction formula is as follows:
Ti (s) + C (s) = TiC
Because it is difficult to prepare submicron metal Ti powder, the application of this method is limited, the above reaction can be completed in 5-20 hours, and the reaction process is difficult to control, and the reactants agglomerate seriously, so it needs further grinding to prepare fine TiC powder. In order to obtain a purer product, the fine powder after ball milling needs to be purified by chemical method.
Chemical vapor deposition
The synthesis is based on the reaction between TiCl4, H2, and C. The reactant reacts with the hot tungsten or carbon monofilament, and the TiC crystal grows directly on the monofilament. The output and sometimes even the quality of the TiC powder synthesized by this method are strictly limited. In addition, due to the strong corrosiveness of TiCl4 and HCl in the product, special caution should be taken in synthesis.
The invention relates to a method for preparing small particle size products by fully mixing and dispersing materials with the help of solution. It has the advantages of good chemical uniformity, small particle size and narrow distribution, low heat treatment temperature, but complex synthesis process and large drying shrinkage.
Using nano-TiO2 and carbon black as raw materials, the material was heated by microwave energy based on the principle of carbothermal reduction reaction. In fact, using the dielectric loss of the material in the high frequency electric field, the microwave energy is converted into thermal energy, and the nano-TiO2 and carbon are synthesized into TiC.
Explosive impact method
Titanium dioxide powder and carbon powder were mixed in a certain proportion, and the precursor was prepared by pressing into a Φ 10mm × 5mm cylinder with a density of 1.5g/cm3, which was packed into a metal confined outer cylinder in the laboratory. The experiment was carried out in a self-made airtight explosion container, and the detonation ash was collected after the action of explosion shock wave. After preliminary screening, large impurities such as iron shavings are removed to get black powder. The black powder turned brown after being soaked in aqua regia for 24 hours, and finally put into muffle furnace and calcined 400min at 400℃ to get silver gray powder.
High frequency induction carbothermal reduction method
The pigment grade titanium dioxide powder and charcoal powder were weighed and mixed at 1:3 and 1:4, then added to the ball milling tank and milled for 6 hours on a planetary ball mill at a rotational speed of 300~400r/min, then the ball milling material was pressed into a 2cm × 2cm~2cm × 4cm block on a pressing machine, and finally the material was loaded into a graphite crucible and put into a high frequency induction heating equipment. Argon gas was used to protect the atmosphere. Gradually adjust the current of the high-frequency induction equipment to 500A to make the material have carbothermal reduction reaction and keep 20min. After the heat preservation, the reduction product is naturally cooled to room temperature in argon atmosphere, and the reduction product is taken out. After grinding and crushing, the ultra-fine titanium carbide powder is obtained.
Metal thermal reduction method
The solid-liquid reaction method is an exothermic reaction, so the reaction temperature is low, the energy consumption is low, but the raw material is more expensive, and the CaO and MgO in the product are pickled and can not be recycled.
High temperature self-propagating synthesis
The SHS method is derived from exothermic reaction. When heated to a proper temperature, the fine Ti powder has very high reaction activity, so once ignited, the combustion wave generated through the reactants Ti and C will have enough heat of reaction to form the TiC, SHS method, usually less than a second. The synthesis method requires high purity and fine Ti powder as raw material, and the output is limited.
Reaction ball milling technique
Reactive ball milling is a technology to prepare the required materials by using the chemical reaction between metal or alloy powder and other elements or compounds in the process of ball milling. The main equipment for preparing nanomaterials by reactive ball milling technology is high energy ball mill, which is mainly used to produce nanocrystalline materials. The mechanism of reactive ball milling can be divided into two types: one is mechanically induced self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction, and the other is reactive ball milling without obvious exothermic reaction, and the reaction process is slow.
Titanium carbide Price
The price is influenced by many factors including the supply and demand in the market, industry trends, economic activity, market sentiment, and unexpected events.

Europe's immediate goal of reducing its dependence on Russian gas in response to the conflict with Ukraine presents a rare opportunity for the United States, the world's largest gas producer. America's LNG exporters have made a fortune this time. Investors are bullish on the future of natural gas, as evidenced by the recent record high share price of Energy company Chenier.
But the outlook for more than a dozen new LNG projects is highly uncertain as construction costs rise, US gas prices soar and climate policymakers seek to move away from a long-term reliance on fossil fuels. Even the most advanced projects can take years to become operational.
Currently, the total U.S. LNG titanium carbide are expected to continue to rise in the future.

From acclaimed New Face of Fiction alumna Grace O'Connell, a suspenseful, poignant and provocative tale about violence, sibling love, friendship, heroism--all told through the lens of a young woman trapped in a hijacked bus.
On the surface, Veda's life in Vancouver seems to be going just fine--at nearly thirty, she has a good job, lifelong friends, and a close bond with her brother, Conrad. But Conrad's violent behavior, a problem since he was a teen, is getting more and more serious, and Veda's ongoing commitment to watch out for him is pushing her to a breaking point.
When Veda is injured as a bystander during one of Conrad's many fights, she knows it's time to leave Vancouver for a fresh start. She heads to New York, staying in the Manhattan apartment of old friends Al and Marie. Exploring the city, she swings between feeling hopeful and lost--until one day the bus she's on is hijacked by a sweet-faced gun-toting man named Peter. He instructs Veda and the other passengers to spray paint the bus windows black, and what ensues is a gripping and unpredictable hostage situation, the outcome of which will make Veda question everything she knows about herself and the nature of fear.
Told with powerful immediacy and warmth, at once unsettling and engrossing, Be Ready for the Lightning is a story of violence, its attractions and repulsions; of love, loyalty and friendship; and of a young woman finding an unexpected kind of bravery.

Excerpt: Be Ready for the Lightning (by (author) Grace O'Connell)
I’ve never been shot. I’ve never even seen a gun up close, other than my father’s hunting rifles up at the cabin. And those old .22s, with their wooden stocks, are more like something from Davey Crockett than Quentin Tarantino.
He took Conrad into the woods to shoot sometimes—my dad, not Quentin Tarantino. Muffled booms from deep in the trees. It was just pop cans off stumps, and once, on a whim, the slowest, dumbest rabbit. Tears from Connie afterwards.
They didn’t invite me into the woods to shoot. It wasn’t because I’m a girl. Just an assumption that I wouldn’t have wanted to go. They were right. I wouldn’t have.
I get on the city bus that day in April after running three blocks down Fifth Avenue, along the side of Central Park. I’ve been in New York a couple of months already, but there’s still a part of me, a dorky tourist part, that can only think I’m running down Fifth Avenue. I’m running beside Central Park as I go. A numbskull commentary of the obvious.
I’m wearing my shoes that got ruined in the rain. They’re half-slipping off my feet, but the bus is almost at the stop, so I run past souvenir stands and lemonade carts and a pile of seemingly discarded blue wooden slats telling me sternly, “Police Line Do Not Cross.” It’s unseasonably hot in Manhattan, and I’m sweating in my pits, down my back and a little where my bra meets my skin.
On the bus, there isn’t an open seat except where I would have to really squeeze in beside someone, which I don’t like, so I just stand. I hang from the clammy pull-down handle, swinging and swaying around. I bump into a moustached man beside me and apologize.
He says, “Don’t worry dear,” and my homesick heart gives a little jump, because that is something my dad would say, the dear. I can almost hear him saying it, the faded Irish lilt buttering the edges of his voice. When I’m away from them, I miss a version of my parents
that doesn’t really exist, a sort of cuddly perfect-family nostalgia. Maybe I’m not the only one; maybe this is why people leave, move on, put distance between themselves and where they’re from—so they can miss a Vaseline-lens version of things.
Central Park goes on forever. Just before we pass by the Met and its grand entrance, a crowd of kids gets off the bus with a woman herding them, probably a teacher. There’s a playground peeking out above the stone wall of the park. I don’t know why—I don’t get sappy about
kids usually—but it makes me smile.
After the kids go, there’s enough room to sit, but I don’t bother. Neither does the moustache man. I feel attached to him, as if we are friends. I do this with strangers all the time. I do it with cars that I drive behind on the highway for a long time. I get sad when they exit.
A tall guy, one of those slab-of-meat Russian types, gets on the bus and sits down in one of the spaces vacated by the children. He’s talking loudly into a cell phone.
“Yeah, I’m on the M1 now, I’ll be there when I’m there, it’s good. Doesn’t matter, anyway, she wouldn’t even let me pick him up, like picking him up is something so big, too big for me apparently. It’s some bullshit, but what am I supposed to do? I got my mom to do it,
apparently that was okay, even she wouldn’t say no to my mom—”
A professorial-looking man across the aisle makes a shh sound and says, quietly, “Could you keep your voice down? You’re disturbing everyone.”
Without even moving the phone away from his mouth, the first man says, even louder, “Don’t tell me to shh, I ain’t disturbing anyone but you.” The two of them glare at one another for a second, and I get tense all over. I hate fights. There is that swollen, pre-storm feeling that crackles between men sometimes. Then the smaller guy drops his eyes, and the loud one returns to his call, and there is an air of relief and emasculation around the man who complained.
In the seat in front of him, two teenagers are taking photos of each other with a phone.
The girl says, “What’s it called? Photographic memory? I totally want that.”
And the boy says, “Anyone can do it, it’s easy.”
“No, it’s not, you have to be born with it.”
“No, you can learn it. You need these special lights, and there’s a book that teaches you how. My sister told me about it.”
At this the girl looks cowed, impressed. Then the boy points the phone at her, and she smiles again.
I’m looking out the window, somewhere in the lower fifties or upper forties, watching a man take a photo of his wife on the sidewalk as she pantomimes throwing her umbrella into a trash can.
I picture them torturing their nieces and nephews with a computer slideshow of those photos, when they get home. Why take a picture like that? Celebrating the end of the rain, the beautiful
day? I guess I opted for the bus over the subway for the same reason, and because I don’t like being underground, and because
I’m not in a hurry.
I haven’t been in a hurry since I got to New York. I’m filling my hours, wandering around, tutoring kids who are either too dumb for me to ever get them where their anxious parents want them to end up, or too smart to need me. I prefer the dumb ones. I can comfort them, and some of them have already developed appealing compensations for their dumbness—humour or charm or selfdeprecation. They know that they’re not going to make their parents happy. The smart ones are sadder, more desperate. They want to be even smarter than they are; they are already worried about being anything less than perfect.
One girl asked me to write a college essay for her. I was confused, because she’s one of the brightest kids I tutor. I knew whatever she wrote would be good. “Not good enough,” she said, her perfectly smooth hands twisting together on the dining room table. “I’ll pay you. I have my own account. How much do you want?” Sounding slightly manic, she started listing the things she could give me: this purse or that cell phone; she could give me her brand-new laptop and tell her parents she lost it; did I want her coat, her shoes, her dresses? I didn’t take her money or her stuff, but it wasn’t because it would have been wrong. It was because I could tell this girl didn’t have it in her to lie well, to lie blandly and in that small way lies need to be told in order to be believed. That she would panic and throw me under the bus, when her parents said, “Is that what really happened?” That she was still missing the slightly rotten thing I’d found in myself that keeps you calm and flat when you should be sorry.
In Midtown, a guy gets on wearing a checked shirt under a long, heavy coat. His thin legs poke out from shorts below the coat, sport socks yanked up above tennis shoes. It is a heartbreaking outfit, a clash of boy and man. He must be so hot. Also, he’s sort of goodlooking, despite the weird clothes, one of those dark honey blonds, sharp-nosed with the sort of finely veined skin that looks like it would bruise easily.
After the door closes behind him, just as the bus begins to pull away from the curb, he reaches into his jacket and takes out a gun, leans over the fare box, around the Plexiglas shield, and points it at the driver’s head. The gun is big and sort of rectangular, like a cell phone from the ’80s.
“Stop the bus,” he says.
I only see and hear this because I’m close to the front; I’m already looking at him. He couldn’t be more than thirty, if that, the same age as me. The driver slams on the brakes, the bus lurches to a halt, and my body goes forward and then back. I bump into the moustache man again, who says, “Don’t worry, don’t worry, I’m not made of glass,” even though I didn’t say anything this time. He’s behind me and hasn’t yet seen the man with the gun. But an older woman in front of me, sitting in the courtesy seats, has, and she is making small noises.
“Pull it right over to the curb,” says the man, “and put your hands on your head. Don’t speak on your radio. Please.” His voice is lower than you’d expect from his size, his looks. A baritone, a radio voice.
Some people behind me are grumbling and saying, “What the fuck?” because they don’t know why the bus has stopped. And all of this so far has taken only seconds. The driver puts the bus in gear and it trundles to the right. One wheel goes up on the curb, and more passengers yell. What the fuck. Is this idiot drunk? Jesus Christ. The driver puts his hands on his head, and I can just see a scrap of his elbow jutting out to the side.
“Put it back in park,” says the man, and the driver does so, the elbow dipping out of sight momentarily. I can hear him speaking now. He says, “Just walk off, just go home. You’re okay, man, you’re okay. It’s nothing, really, nothing at all.”
I’m not really thinking anything right now. In the morning, I’d been walking around in the Met feeling strangely disconnected, as if I’d gone deaf. I was still worrying, irrationally, that what happened to my ear in B.C. had damaged my hearing, though logically I knew that my zonked feeling was probably just a hangover from the bar night I’d just had for my birthday with Al and Marie. I got the Met tickets from the parents of a boy I’m tutoring who’s wonderfully rich and woefully stupid. Technically, you can go to the museum for free, but they ask you to buy a ticket–you can choose any price, or none at all. The idea of just ignoring the request and swanning in without paying was too intimidating, but paying for a free museum seemed wasteful on my limited budget. The pre-paid ticket was easy, anonymous. If I told Annie that, she’d make fun of me. Spineless. I know it.
On the bus, in this moment, it’s too quick. The whole thing seems like something that is happening but also not happening. I feel like I’m floating. I still have the little metal badge from the Met clipped to the neckline of my dress, a summer dress I’m wearing, because it is so oddly warm today. The only tiny working corner of my brain theorizes that this might be some sort of extreme ad campaign or maybe a movie shoot (how, somehow). Or something terribly strange
but legitimate, allowed. It can’t be real.
The gunman steps back a little, blinks a few times. He looks at the Plexiglas barrier that half-shields the driver’s seat. Then he shoots the driver in the head.

Distributed throughout the lower Mekong River basin in Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand, and in watersheds across central and southern (peninsular) Thailand.
Type locality is ‘Saigon, southern Vietnam’.
Found in all types of still to slow-moving, predominantly lowland habitat, including swamp forest, peat swamps, floodplains, river tributaries, irrigation canals, paddy fields, and roadside ditches. Displays a distinct preference for sluggish to still environments with dense growths of aquatic or riparian vegetation.
Sympatric fish species include Trichopsis vittata, T. schalleri, Trichopodus trichopterus, Betta siamorientalis, Anabas testudineus, Lepidocephalichthys hasselti, Pangio anguillaris, Macrognathus siamensis and Monopterus albus.
Maximum Standard Length
35 – 40 mm.
Aquarium SizeTOP ↑
An aquarium with base measurements of 45 ∗ 30 cm or equivalent is large enough to house a pair or small group.
This species fares best in a well-planted, shady aquarium with plenty of surface cover in the form of tall stem plants, floating varieties, or tropical lilies. Cryptocoryne spp. are also a good choice.
Driftwood can also be used and other plants such as Microsorum or Taxiphyllum spp. may be attached to it. Small clay plant pots, lengths of plastic piping or empty camera film cases can also be included to provide further shelter.
The addition of dried leaf litter offers additional cover and brings with it the growth of microbe colonies as decomposition occurs. These can provide a valuable secondary food source for fry, while tannins and other chemicals released by the decaying leaves are considered beneficial.
As it naturally inhabits sluggish environments strong water movement should be avoided, with an air-powered sponge filter set to turn over gently adequate. Keep the aquarium well-covered and do not fill it to the top since it requires occasional access to the layer of humid air that will form above the water surface, and is an excellent jumper.
Temperature: 22 – 28 °C
pH: 5.0 – 7.5

Sergei Skripal, previously convicted for treason, the officer of GRU of Russia, may have been poisoned in Salisbury, Britain. About it reports “Russian service of BBC”.
According to the publication, it became known that one of the shopping centres of the city took two, a man of 66 years and a woman of 33 years, with signs of poisoning by an unknown substance. After that, city officials have declared a state of emergency, the shopping center and some city districts were completely blocked and cordoned off, experts have been disinfected. Emergency Department of the hospital in which the hospitalized victims, was also closed. Authorities did not name the substance, which was covered by urban areas.
A witness told the BBC that they had seen injured on the bench near the entrance to the Mall in about 16 hours. “The man randomly moved his hands up my emptiness. The girl pressed her face against him, as if to sleep, obviously lost consciousness. Honestly, they were clearly not himself,” she said.
Later, the neighbor Sergei Skripal said that around 17:00 the same day, in the house of the former Russian spy the police arrived and since then it never left.
According to the BBC, at the moment, police are investigating the incident.
Let us recall that Sergei Skripal is a former officer of the GRU, was arrested by FSB in 2004 on suspicion of collaborating with the British intelligence service. The investigation found that the recruitment Skripal occurred in 1995. He fully admitted his guilt and in 2006 was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment for treason, however, in 2010, was pardoned together with Igor Sutyagin, Alexander Zaporozhsky and Gennady Vasilenko was exchanged for a group of Russian scouts, which was denounced in the United States.

Microsoft's decision to slash the desktop price of its thin client software by almost half has provoked a mixed reaction from the channel.
The move follows intense criticism of Windows Terminal Server from thin client technology supporters who complained the software was too expensive and complex.
Andrew Robins, business development manager at reseller PNC, said: 'It has been a long time coming because the pricing was prohibitive. It is still an expensive option compared with other computing environments and the claim that thin client computing is cheap to adopt is still unrealistic.'
Another source said he was initially bullish about the decision, but would defer judgement until details of the pricing changes in the UK were revealed. 'It could be a purely cosmetic change,' he said.
But Robert Royce, sales director at Management Software, said: 'We think it will make a difference to the thin client market and we already have some big tenders that the pricing change will make a big difference to.'
Until now, companies were required to buy an NT Workstation 4 Licence as well as an NT Server Client Access License for each desktop computer.
The Workstation licence will be replaced with a Terminal Server Client Access Licence, which has ERP of $109. In the UK, Microsoft confirmed the Terminal Server CAL will have an ERP of #90.

For some time, many artists and writers, having given up on the concept of “beauty” as a mode of cultural oppression, have developed an aesthetic that seeks to be “transgressive.”
By creating work that shocks their audience by transgressing the moral and cultural norms, these artists and writers are rebelling against the systemic oppression of the culture and causing their audience to question their beliefs. That’s the theory.
But today our moral and cultural norms have become so weakened that artists and writers can’t be “transgressive” any more. There are no values left to transgress.

After moving through the legislative process and overcoming major hurdles, H. 1996 did not pass.
It was released from the Joint Committee on Public Health, the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing and on July 14th from the House Committee on Ways & Means and the House Committee on Steering & Policy. During all these advances, the bill was favorably moved along and never even amended or changed. In dramatic fashion, just as the bill was about to be sent to the House Committee on Bills in Third Reading it was yanked backward and recommitted to House Ways & Means. This is a very unusual course and is a testament to organized medicine's surprise about our global support in both chambers on the merit of the bill and the number of other credible organizations also supporting us.
Ultimately, political forces that had nothing to do with our bill added to its demise. Members should understand that the backdrop of the politics between the House and Senate leadership has been very contentious all session. The State House News Service covered this factor well over this past weekend in excerpts from the article below:
"House Speaker Robert DeLeo, accustomed to performing delicate end-of-session negotiations with former Senate President Therese Murray, this year is tangoing with Senate President Stanley Rosenberg and Senate Democrats who are pushing a more activist, progressive agenda.
Gaps that need to be closed between dueling House and Senate policy proposals seem larger this session. And those differences are magnified by an undercurrent of disenchantment among senators remaining after a months-long power-sharing fight back in early 2015 over rules reforms and the flow of bills.
After House Speaker Pro Tempore Patricia Haddad suggested early Saturday afternoon that House-Senate talks had been impeded by senators, including several serving on conference committees, attending this week's Democratic National Convention, Rosenberg said later in the day that some of the late-session problems stemmed from the House waiting too long to deliver major bills to the Senate.
"Didn't help," said one House Democrat of Rosenberg's comments, who said it felt like the Senate was setting itself up to blame the House if something doesn't get across the finish line."
The result was that policy ideas that were well advocated and deserving of consideration, never even made it to the floor for debate in the House. Those that passed the Senate were disregarded by the House.
For MCNP and MANA, this means that for this session our bill is dead. This news is very difficult for the countless members who advocated for H. 1996, promoted its merits, and met with and developed personal relationships with lawmakers. For our legislative supporters, who also worked incredibly hard, it's bitter-sweet. They acknowledged that the bill went very far in the bill making process, but this time, it was not enough. They too share our pain over its ultimate demise, as we were in fact very close to getting this done.
The MCNP and MANA legislative teams thank everyone who fought so hard for H. 1996 and helped us throughout this legislative session.

AMD recently launched Radeon HD 7950; it’s one of the first graphics cards based on 28nm manufacturing process. Like its bigger brother, HD 7970, it’s also based on AMD’s latest “Tahiti” silicon. Radeon HD 7950 is actually a trimmed down version of the HD 7970. A couple of things are shaved off to decrease the cost and make it ‘affordable’ as compared to HD 7970. To being with, Graphics CoreNext Compute Units (CUs) are decreased down to 28 as compared to 32 on HD 7970; this translates into 1,792 shaders in contrast to 2,048 found on its bigger brother. TMU count has been decreased to 112 from 128. That’s marks as an ending point in the list of physical changes that AMD made to the core, everything else is exactly same. As far as memory is concerned, it adopted HD 7970’s 3GB GDDR5 memory spread across 384-bit wide interface.

Due to $ crunch, taka devaluation
Farhad Chowdhury : Aviation businesses are going through challenges due to high inflation, dollar crunch and negative effect of the volatile exchange rate. This has had an impact on the domestic aviation sector too. Domestic airlines, like other businesses, continue to fight for survival by meeting their operational costs.
Business insiders say that the airlines’ operating expenses have increased by 25 to 30 per cent due to an increase of US dollar price and devaluation of taka. Earlier, the exchange rate of US dollars was Tk 80-Tk 85, but now it has been increased to Tk 110-Tk 120.As a result, airlines have to pay more than what they used to spend on fuel, parts or other things. Even they can’t adjust the airfare due to the devaluation of taka or the price increase of USD. So, domestic airlines are facing more challenges than foreign airliners, they say.
Aviation expert Kazi Wahidul Alam told that the dollar crisis and the exchange rate hike have affected all businesses. “Passengers across the world now don’t look at domestic or foreign airlines rather they look at quality, service and low fares. But our operational costs are going up.”
Mentioning that the airlines industry is a capital-intensive industry, the expert said, “Whatever we do here, we have to spend money. It’s not a couple of bucks, it’s a million-dollar business. Due to the dollar crisis, LCs can’t be opened to buy anything.”
Operating costs have increased because of jet fuel and other expenses. Due to the dollar crisis, the domestic airlines are suffering a lot. If this situation continues for a long time, it will become difficult for them to sustain, he added.
Business insiders say that currently a total of 28 foreign and four domestic airlines operate an average of 140-145 flights from Bangladesh every day. About 70 per cent of Bangladesh’s aviation market is with foreign airlines and only 30 per cent to domestic airlines. In such a situation, if the dollar crisis or inflation continues, the entire market can be taken over by foreign airlines, they added.
Wahid further said that airline business has a very competitive market. The world’s major air carriers such as Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi, Emirates are doing good business. “They do not face USD crisis so that they have potential to catch up our aviation business.”
Biman Bangladesh Airlines, the national flag carrier, holds a 30 per cent share of the country’s aviation industry. In FY23, the company made a profit of only Tk 28 crore.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines Managing Director and CEO Shafiul Azim told that due to the devaluation of taka against US dollar, they are unable to show the profit of around Tk 1,395 crore. “But we are still making profits.”
They have to pay more for jet fuel and landing tax in local currency, he said, adding that earlier, they had to pay Tk80-Tk 85 against one dollar. Now the exchange rate increased to Tk 115-Tk 120. On the other hand, they have to pay pilot and cabin crew allowance as well as pay bills abroad, he said.
Shafiul Azim said that they have to pay more in foreign payments for operating flights abroad. “That’s why I have to pay more when I go to buy dollars from the market. This has increased the cost of our domestic airlines.”
US-Bangla Airlines General Manager (Marketing Support & PR) Kamrul Islam told that they have been facing the dollar crisis for the last two to three months. “Due to currency devaluation, our overall operational costs have increased. We are losing business. Unless it is brought under control, the aviation and tourism industries will suffer,” he said.
Now the exchange rate of US dollars is Tk 118-Tk 120. Considering that the cost has increased by 20 to 25 per cent. “But we are not able to increase the plane fare accordingly because of the competitive market. In that case, as an operator, it has become a big challenge to survive by ensuring the service,” he said.
Wahidul Alam said that no one wants to go into this business for huge investments. Earlier, 8-10 airlines started this business, but they could not sustain. Now a couple of airlines are coming. If they don’t get opportunity to do business, how long will they lose? If they cannot make profits, they will go out of this business.
Business insiders said that the government should take steps to boost this industry. They also hope to turn around if the market stabilizes after overcoming the dollar crisis.

Best Places to Visit in South Africa
One of the top 10 countries to visit in Africa is definitely South Africa and its capital City, Cape Town. The place is amazing in every sense of the word – they have beaches, national parks, caves, nature reserves, canyons, museums, islands, mountains and more. To be honest, a one week vacation to South Africa would be insufficient. You might just have to stay there for a month to truly enjoy every tourist attraction in the country. As such, here is a South Africa travel guide so that you can plan out your vacation.
15. Boulders Beach
South Africa’s Boulder Beach stretches its granite rock-filled sands in Cape Peninsula. It can be found at the Table Mountain National Park. It is definitely one of the places to visit in South Africa for the African Penguins that roam here are just too cute to miss. Today, you will see 3000 of these penguins because of the rise in the population of anchovies. You will also see small sheltered bays as well as granite rocks that are well over 540 million years old!

What dark demons of pop now possess Stephen Jones of Babybird? This fellow of a thousand hooks and melodies continues here in the dark vein suggested on There's Something Going On. "The F-Word" is the first sign that the album isn't a return to the optimistic joys of Ugly Beautiful. The song is a catchy, somewhat evil-sounding nursery rhyme telling how bad the f-word is; one has to wonder if Jones is singing about some word even more crude than the standard f-word because the track is such sinister good fun. This is, of course, the same man who sang some rather rude things about Father Christmas and Nintendo back in his early days of self-released songs. Even the sweeter numbers on Bugged have dark underpinnings. "Out of Sight" is elegant, pristine pop, but the lyrics speak of a kind of codependency not heard of since the Police's "Every Breath You Take." There are certainly pop charms galore on the album; it's just that things aren't as goodie-goodie as they were in the days of "You're Gorgeous," Baby Bird's big hit. Jones is now making music on his own terms, completely ignoring any drive to have another hit single. This means that lyrics can be as brutal as they are romantic. "Fireflies," musically quite ravishing, sees Jones singing about fireflies floating around his room which he says he'll kill, if he can find them. It's relatively creepy subject matter, at odds with the beauty of the music, ultimately becoming some bizarre, genius opus. Compared to There's Something Going On, the songs on Bugged generally have more energy; at times, there's a rolling beat that might lead to some foot-tapping or subdued dancing. "All I Want Is Love" and "The Way You Are" are the closest things here to love ballads. Both songs are fragile and quite cute, but both have strange imagery floating around their core. It's a relatively thrilling and always interesting prospect that the songs are so fragile and pretty, yet the imagery constantly shifts back to blood, stinging bees, broken toes, and disease. Stephen Jones has proven himself to be an eccentric pop genius. Bugged is just another grand, intriguing feather in Baby Bird's hat. It's a statement of complete artistic control, which just happens to be filled with ten amazing songs.

Dr Akil Khalfani, Pan African Diaspora Ambassador to the Ooni of Ife, says the Nigerian novel, Things Fall Apart, is still highly valued after 65 years after its publication because it tells powerfully the story of Africa’s history, culture and family.
*Dr Akil Khalfani
Khalfani, who is also the Director, Africana Institute, Essex County College, Newark, New Jersey, said this in a recent interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in New York, United States.
Khalfani, also the Director, Center for Global Education and Experience, spoke against the backdrop of the 65th anniversary of Things Fall Apart, which was first published in 1958, by William Heinemann, London.
“The value of Things Fall Apart is that it tells the story of the impact of white supremacy and before that, it tells the story of African history, culture and family,’’ he said.
Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe’s debut novel, and his two other classics, Arrow of God and No Longer at Ease, are called the “African Trilogy” in literature and considered requisite reading for anyone choosing African literature as an area of specialization.
Khalfani, an Associate Professor of Sociology, described Achebe as a visionary author, who could put down what he saw about the dominance of western culture over African culture more than six decades ago.
“We need to understand what the experiences that helped him to understand the reason for the piece were, because African people still feel the impact today. It touches the heart and the spirit of people.
“It talks about African tradition, and it is a note to us today to say ‘don’t let others intrude, once they begin to intrude on your culture, that might be the beginning of losing it,’’’ he said.
Khalfani cited the example of when the missionaries came to Africa; that it was the precursor to undermining the African people’s culture.
“If we are not the caretakers of our own culture, then somebody else is going to distort it and use it against us.
“So, our history and culture have been studied by Europeans and other folks, and they’ve used it to their advantage and to our disadvantage.
“And then we want to cast away our own history and culture and adopt theirs. That is what we see a lot of times,’’ he stressed.
He, however, encouraged Africans in the diaspora to embrace their culture by identifying with the dresses, names, foods and African music.
The don also commended the Consulate General of Nigeria in New York for organising the “Ayan Atayero Festival” (Festival of Drums), to promote the understanding and appreciation of Nigeria’s rich culture and heritage in the U.S.
The maiden edition of the festival was held on August 3 at the Nigeria House in New York in collaboration with the House of Oduduwa and the Atayero of Aramoko Kingdom, Ekiti.
“The event was a beautiful opportunity for us to see and experience the richness in drumming like the Gangan (talking drum), the Bata Drums and the other drums.
“These two drums in particular help us to understand the language of the drum.
“I was talking to “Kabiyesi” (Ooni of Ife) on the need to bring them to the College (Essex County) in New Jersey so that we can have the opportunity to really make those connections.
“I think an event like this gives us the opportunity to find ways to connect between our different African experiences,’’ he said.
Khalfani, who praised African culture, said that people would want to draw lines between our differences and similarities, saying events of such nature should also help to highlight our similarities and differences.
The don said Africans had a lot of things to celebrate, drawing from their similarities in food, culture and music, adding that the people can also celebrate their differences, instead of letting those cause conflict and tension.
“We can celebrate them; we have Jollof rice in Senegal, Ghana and Nigeria. We have different spiritual and cultural traditions in those three countries.
“Also, we can bring drums from those countries and celebrate them. Even in Nigeria, we can look at drumming culture of the Igbos, Hausas and the Yorubas and celebrate them.
“What are the drumming systems of the Igbo? What are those different ways in which they drum and communicate, like in libations, the Yorubas use alcohol while the Igbos use kolanuts.
“So that’s the key. We just have a different tool and a different modality of doing, so there is the need to bring those different drums together and celebrate them and have each one performed,’’ he said.

JULY 27, 1814
The residents of upper Lost River Township were speculating who would be appointed by the judges of the Washington Circuit Court to be the overseer of the construction of the road leading from Beck’s Mill to the Cincinnati Trace near Freeman’s Corner. Before the formation of Washington County, the Lee, Roberts, Finley, Carter, Maxwell, Denny and Lewis families, among others, had difficulty in getting their wagon loads of corn to Beck’s Mill for grinding. These families had made land claims in the most northwestern part of the territory opened for settlement by the Treaty of Grouseland. They were encouraged that a seat of government would soon be closer to them than Corydon as they now realized the hardships of being on the upper branch of Lost River at the very edge of the frontier of the Indiana Territory.
In April of 1814, Lee and his neighbors petitioned the Washington Circuit Court for the establishment of a public road running “from Major Beck’s mill to Major Jesse Roberts and then on the Sulphur Spring”. The court appointed Samuel Lewis, John Maxwell and Clement Lee or any two of them to view the way and recommend the course of the road. Justice of the Peace Samuel Lewis and Clement Lee were the appointees who performed this public task. They filed their report in mid-July 1814. The route ordered to be marked was described as follows:
“A road running with or nearly with the old trace from Beck’s Mill to Lost River, thence in a straight line or nearly so to the Cincinnati Trace about a half mile from the Sulphur Spring.”
The course of this pioneer road probably can be traced, in part, on a Washington County Highway map today. Zink Road runs on a northwest vector and then connects with Douglas Church Road. A prolongation of the general direction of this road connects with West Washington School Road north of what was then a large wetland in the northern part of the Barrens. This part of the West Washington School Road in Vernon Township runs in a northwesterly direction leading to Lost River. That part of the road that ran in a “nearly so” straight line undoubtedly paralleled the upper branch of Lost River to the Cincinnati Road.
The location of the Cincinnati Road through Washington County is presently unknown. No reference to it has been found in the original survey records that laid out the congressional township and section grid in 1806 through 1808. It may have run through Driftwood Township in what was to become Jackson County in 1815 but then one must speculate how it crossed the Driftwood Fork of White River or the Muscatatuck River. It must have changed course early as its description by a traveler in the 1820s has it running from Vienna to Salem to Paoli. The Cincinnati Trace was originally blazed by Captain Ephraim Kibbey in 1799 at the direction of General Arthur St. Clair who was the governor of the Northwest Territory. Now that a peace of sorts had been established in 1795 with the Treaty of Greenville, St. Clair wanted a way to get troops from Fort Washington in Cincinnati to Fort Knox in Vincennes. The Secretary of the Northwest Territory at this time was William Henry Harrison. He had his eyes on becoming the Governor of a new territory to be formed out of the Northwest Territory centered around Vincennes. Harrison’s father in law was John Cleve Symmes who owned a land grant around Cincinnati of over 200,000 acres. One can wonder if Harrison helped promote the development of the road so that his future desired residence on the Wabash could have access to his father in law’s resources.
The early course of the Cincinnati Trace did take it through present day Orleans, Indiana. This is known because the description of the road established for Washington County, Indiana Territory in 1814 to run from Beck’s Mill to Major Jesse Roberts says that the Cincinnati Trace was about one-half mile from the “sulphur spring”. The sulfur spring in question was not one of the springs in French Lick or West Baden. This sulfur spring was shown on mid 19th century maps to be on the Hoffstetler farm immediately north of Orleans. The location of this former spring would now be on land owned perhaps by the Orleans Schools.

It was also the story of Jaramillo, who narrates the Kid’s tale. Burns titled the article, “A Belle of Old Fort Sumner.” Curiously, Burns’s two articles never appeared in print. A likely explanation is that Burns realized he had the makings of a book; he submitted a book proposal on the Kid to Doubleday, Page & Co. in October Sumner also makes it clear that Ellie is a regular kid who dreams of becoming a chef, which is conveyed partly through letters that Ellie writes to various culinary experts throughout the book.

The R&B great duets with the Civil Wars' singer at her Alabama Music Hall of Fame induction in February.
At February's Alabama Music Hall of Fame induction banquet, inductee Candi Staton sang I Ain't Easy to Love with the Civil Wars' John Paul White.
The performance, which premieres at USA TODAY, shows off a soulful side of White's voice that Civil Wars fans rarely got to hear, as he sings with Staton. Staton, 74, is an R&B and gospel singer best known for her 1976 disco hit Young Hearts Run Free and a Grammy-nominated 1970 remake of Tammy Wynette's Stand by Your Man. The two singers are backed by a band that includes members of the legendary Muscle Shoals session band called the Swampers.
"I've had few experiences that rival singing with Candi," says White, who hosted the induction ceremony, held Feb. 24 in Florence, Ala. "For me — growing up in the Shoals on country, soul and R&B — he's royalty. The best part is that she's one of the sweetest people I've met — musician or otherwise. I want to be like her."
You can't really tell from the video, but Staton says she was feeding White some of the lyrics as they sang. "John Paul didn't have his lyric in front of him, so I was mouthing them," she says. "That's what I was laughing about (in the video), because he was reading lips! He'd cut his eyes over, because he'd only done the song once with me. The harmony was fine, but it was so funny!"
Other inductees also inducted into the Hall of Fame that night were songwriter Dan Penn, keyboardist/songwriter "Spooner" Oldham, country singer Hank Locklin, jazz pioneer Sun Ra and music publisher Charlie Monk.
Staton recorded the song with White and Jason Isbell for her new album, Life Happens, out May 13 "I wanted (the album) to be an anthology of my life, set to music," says Staton, adding that she has been writing a memoir titled after her 1976 disco hit Young Hearts Run Free. "Tina Turner has nothing on me," she says. "I went through four Ikes."
Staton says she asked White and Isbell to record the song with her after they performed it on the Late Show With David Letterman in October while promoting Muscle Shoals, a documentary about the music scene in the northern Alabama region.
Muscle Shoals will make its PBS premiere April 21 as part of the Independent Lens series, and footage from the Alabama Music Hall of Fame induction banquet will air on Alabama Public Television April 24.

|9/8/22 Seattle teachers on strike|
Yesterday was supposed to be the first day of school for Seattle public school students, but the Seattle Education Association (the union representing Seattle teachers) delayed the opening by going on strike. According to the Seattle Times, “Demands from SEA include maintaining staff ratios for disabled and multilingual students as the district aims to provide more services in general education classrooms, and ensuring the district provides them with interpretation and translation services in meetings with parents and on official documents.”
I don’t follow education news closely, but I figure that with all that teachers have been through the past few years, their grievances must be legitimate, and they deserve to get whatever they are asking for.
Today on the second day of the strike, I went over to Roosevelt High School. Parking several blocks away, I approached the school on foot. Expecting to see them pacing in front of the school’s front entrance, I was surprised to see a line of teachers marching toward me. I let them all pass, then tagged along behind them as they walked around the block. (I’m out of practice sketching while I march: The last – and only – time I did that was during the 2017 Seattle Women’s March. Like the pink hats we all wore then, the teachers’ bright red SEA T-shirts gave them visual solidarity and made them easy to sketch.) Sympathetic drivers honked their support as they passed.
Eventually the strikers took a break in the shade of one of Roosevelt High’s many large trees. Across the street in the shade myself, I could have easily taken more time (although I didn’t know how long their break would last). But the nature of the news I was trying to capture felt urgent, and I found myself sketching with unnecessary haste. As a result, my sketch turned out messier than I like, but I’ll chalk that up to the medium being the message.

So I went to South Africa with the wife and a friend and hit some of the following places, good times all in all, delicious food everywhere and despite the tanking dollar, still a great value. Id like to give a Chowhound shout out to Ilana for her great tips.
Den Anker, Cape Town, waterfront
A Belgian place in the very touristy waterfront area of Capetown. Though I dont think touristy necessarily equals bad food as much here as elsewhere in the world (though certainly it still equals more expensive). Despite their list of Belgian beers I opted for a very good glass of the Jordan Syrah and the Soupe de Poisson Normande to start, I was thinking itd be a white chowder-ish soup as it was described as being made with a roux with some cheese, but it was a tomato-y red with strong hints of anchovy, it was a puree so I wasnt able to tell what kind of fish they used. For entrée I got the Kingclip Beurre Blanc. Apparently Kingclip is from the eel family (and arguably not a fish), but very flavorful and without any bones. Its firmer than most whitefish, closer to monkfish than a flakey white. It was served under a well-made crust with a very tasty Beurre Blanc sauce. It was sort of chilly out so this really hit the spot.
Oh, the mozzarella here is bad. Very odd tasting and lacking in flavor. Wife had the mozzarella tomato appetizer and we were surprised at this. We split the crème brulee for dessert and it was very good as well.
Wang Thai, Cape Town, Green Point
Eh. Thai food was nothing special. Pad Kee Mao noodles were cooked in beef broth and not the wide flat noodles were accustomed to. Nothing special really. The chicken/coconut milk soup was too overpowered with fish sauce. Here we discovered that, prawns means shrimp in Cape Town. Interesting. Kind of a waste of a meal.
Piccata, Franchhoek, wine country north of Cape Town
Wed been drinking wine all day in Stellenbosch (Ill post about the wine trip separately) and needed to sober up and eat some hearty fare. Little else is heartier than an immense lamb shank on top of a stew of lentils with a glass of a good red, the Porcupine Cabernet Sauvignon from Franchhoek (good but not great, wed been spoiled by this point). Lamb was wonderful, tender, flavorful and exactly what I wanted. Again, weird mozzarella here.
Theos, Cape Town, not sure if this is considered Waterfront though its across from the water (maybe Sea Point?), near the Radisson.
This stop was to appease my repeated demand on my fellow travelers for, a steak the size of my face. I started with the Roquefort salad which was a big mushy blob of Roquefort that was perhaps more dip-like than salad like, but delicious all the same. Friend got the calamari, which was also very good, lightly fried and good texture. The African steak terminology confused me and I think fillet might be an unusually thick strip, and Ive got no idea what a rump is. The server said that a fillet isnt too flavorful but is tender so I thought it was filet mignon, which is clearly wasnt when served. Also, they recommend sauces on all the fillets and my Nebraska blood curdles at the thought of saucing a good cut of meat. The fillet was very tasty, very thick, though perhaps underdone (I ordered medium rare and it arrived closer to rare, dining companion ordered same and hers was correct). Tried some of the blue cheese sauce and though it wasnt bad, it was just extraneous.
For the record I hated Merlot before it was cool to hate it. I think once I read it described in GQ by Alan Richman as, an insipid wine, I agreed immediately. In my efforts to be diplomatic I ordered a bottle of the KWV Merlot 03 and it was too young with too much alcohol, it needed to hang out for another year or more to soften up. For dessert I tried the toffee pudding (cake) and it was tasty though my dining companions werent wild about it. Fine. More for me.
Though we werent in Camps Bay, there must be more than one, because this is definitely the same menu and such
Bukhara, Cape Town, City Centre? 33 Church Street I believe
Again, virtual high-fives to Ilana. Probably the best Indian Ive ever had and Ive even been to Indian weddings though not yet to India. Garlic Naan was a hymn in my mouth. Lamb Vindaloo was quite literally as spicy as it could be at the utter threshold of where spice loses complexity. The wifes dish might have put this place over the top, some sort of vegetarian dish in a creamy yogurt sauce that made us want to literally gobble. For dessert we had the soft bread pudding with lots of raisins and nuts. Oh, I got a glass of Amarula a Baileys-like liqueur made from the Amarula fruit of Africa. To calm the spice we shared a bottle of the Simonsig Gewurtztraminer that wed tasted at their vineyard earlier in the week and it was the perfect fire hydrant for our mouths. Man, what a meal.

Trisha Paytas baby name?
Although the two are unrelated, some Twitter users have sarcastically suggested that Queen Elizabeth could be past-life child Petas. Recently, Trisha Paytas announced that she was about to give birth.
Internet users have posted humorous memes without seriousness on Twitter. For those unaware, Paytas revealed in February that she was expecting a child with husband Moses Hacmon.
Trisha Paytas is a 34-year-old Californian YouTube celebrity, OnlyFans model and singer, and former stripper and escort.
twitter trisha paytas
Their lifestyle videos and foodcasts (a type of social media content where individuals document their diet) help them gain exposure online.
On Valentine’s Day, Petas revealed that she and her husband, Israeli artist Moses Hackmon, were expecting their first child. In 2021, the two exchanged vows. They previously revealed they were less likely to get pregnant after being diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease after contracting chlamydia. Paytas was a teenager when he was diagnosed and he chose not to have a hysterectomy. Teresa Paitas was born 3 minutes after Queen Elizabeth died?
The Paytas’ pregnancy was dutifully documented on their YouTube channel, uploading a video of them indulging in cheesy hash browns the same day they announced their labor.

2 days ago, there was a tweet on Twitter that captured my attention since it came from Nick Roach (the creator of Elegant Themes – one of my favorite theme clubs).
Based on this tweet, Nick is going to change the 3 years old look of his website to a newer, better and more attractive design. You can look at some of his concepts on dribble.
Personally, I love to see this change sooner since the old look has been there for 3 years. It looks good, but it can be much better. Nick has created more than 76 premium WordPress themes, he definitely knew how to rock the homepage. Sadly, he didn’t. I hope to see some chances, and now they are really happening. (Awesome!)
How will he rock his homepage? We don’t know yet. So I just want to make some predictions about the new design
The old theme, look here, is a litlle bit crowded with words. I hope Nick will clean everything up. Perhaps, he’ll increase the white spaces or use larger fonts. Sure, he didn’t want people to keep their nose right on the screen to look for more informations about Elegant Themes.
2. Emphasize features
He has already done it in the past with some bullet points like Cross-browser compatibility guaranteed or Frequent theme additions and upgrades, but Elegant Themes doesn’t stop at that.
They are now responsive, they have killer design, an ePanl options with tons of control over the fonts, the layouts, the colors… Nick will list these great features for sure. Maybe, he’ll add some illustration to make the whole page look more attractive.
3. Stronger and Bigger Call-To-Action Buttons
Bigger buttons will grab the attention of visitors immediately. The current buttons are small, so people’s eyes won’t go there. And no, it’s not my own words. It based on a case study where bigger buttons contribute to 30% of revenue increase and increase Newegg.com conversion rate by 6%.
I love to see buttons for Gallery, Theme Demo and Pricing Page
4. Focus on the Price
What does Elegant Themes have? A killer $39 price for more than 76+ premium WordPress themes. It’s great. It’s a huge deal. Nick will definitely focus on this feature. Come on, can you find such a great price (only $0.5 per theme and you can get 24 more new themes every year) like this in this expensive world?
Maybe Nick will increase his price after this update, we don’t know yet. But I am quite sure that with this huge value, Nick is going to change his pricing strategy soon. However, it won’t affect me since I have already been an existing member of Elegant Themes. I only have to pay $39 per year. So, grab Elegant Themes now, when it’s still cheap and affordable.Get Elegant Themes now
5. Admin Demo
The most challenging problem with both free and premium WordPress themes is that you don’t know how to configure everything to look exactly like the demo page since most of the providers don’t offer any solution for that. It creates several problems, you can read an article here on WPLiving about this issue.
I have faced some cases where the demo site looks great with tons of features. However, when I purchased and downloaded the theme, I didn’t know to to make them look like the demo. There are tons of works you must do to style up your theme.
Elegant Themes does have colors and fonts picker on demo site, but it isn’t enough. Customers desire more. Hope to see an admin demo option in the new design of Elegant Themes too
6. Responsive design
Nick has added some responsive themes in recent months and turned some of his old themes into responsive designs too. Why don’t we expect for a responsive design for homepage?
If it’s true, it’ll be a good move for Elegant Themes since people are making faster decision with their mobile devices.
These are just my prediction. Whether they become true or not, Elegant Themes is still my best choice for WordPress themes providers. Don’t know why?Take A Look At Elegant Themes gallery
What for now? Take a look at one of Nick’s new concept for Elegant Themes

(CMC) — The United Kingdom’s Caribbean Security and Stability Fund (CSSF) is providing EC$200,000 (one EC dollar=US$0.37 cents) to six countries in the Eastern Caribbean to facilitate remote operations of the magistrates courts during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Lucia, St Kitts & Nevis and St Vincent & the Grenadines will tap into the funds that will be used to purchase equipment including laptops, printers, scanners, mobile phones and Zoom subscriptions.
The equipment and use of technology will allow the courts to make a smooth transition to the digital delivery of some essential services and limit substantial disruption to the criminal justice process.
According to a statement issued here by the British High Commission, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced jurisdictions to implement stringent social distancing rules to lessen the risk of transmitting the virus. These measures have resulted in the suspension of physical court activity.
As a functioning criminal justice system is essential to delivering law and order and reducing the risk of social unrest, the US/UK criminal justice adviser to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Mrs Sirah Abraham, approached CSSF for assistance to support remote working in regional magistrate courts.
“This support will reduce the risk of spreading the virus, prevent courts from being shut down as a result of spread and limit any delays in the criminal justice process by ensuring that these essential services are still provided to the public,” the high commission said.
Chief Justice of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC), Dame Janice Pereira, had already urged courts to use remote hearings to facilitate the continuation of proceedings and prepared guidance on how these matters were to be conducted in a practice direction issued in relation to COVID-19 emergency measures.
She expressed her gratitude for the funding and the continued support of the Criminal Justice Reform Project.
“I thank you so much for your continued assistance in coming to our aid and more particularly, in these times when we must retool to ensure that the justice system continues to deliver justice fairly and effectively, even if the physical doors and spaces are closed,” she added.
The CSSF is a UK cross-government fund which supports and delivers activity to tackle instability and conflict. In the Caribbean this fund is focused on supporting the region to address serious organised crime and the development of the justice systems in the region to be able to effectively and efficiently tackle serious crime.

Here some tips i've sent a fellow romanian traveller...
This is a great route! Here few tips:
- don't miss the canyon of river Tara in Monte Negro. It's stunning and
very nice with deep clifs. Also, the coast is very nice (Kotor, Herceg novi...).
- mind the coastal road from Makarska to Split. You'll get stuck in
heavy trafic and there's nothing really to see. Instead take the
parallel road (route 62, Kozica - Katuni - Dugopolje).
- Trogir is worth seeing - very small but also very nice, UNESCO world
- Sibenik also - small and cozy with an great old town
- the coastal road from Zadar to Karlobag, Senj and Rijeka is just
plain great! It winds along the coast and the tarmac is very good.
Especially beautyfull is the part from Zadar to Senj)
- mind Rijeka - it's an industrial town.
- in general, the traffic around Rijeka tends to be very, very thick.
Opatija is made for guest with a lot of $$$ in their pockets but it can
be nice to have a stop for a coffe. Bare in mind that the traffic
around Rijeka and Opatija is very, very heavy, even for a motorbike and
you could end up spending even one hour to get to Opatija.
- the peninsula of Istria (the triangle Rijeka - Pula - Trieste) is
very nice with a lot of private pensions, family restaurants and
domestic food. If you don't have the time to visit the inland of
Istria, at least have a stop in Groznjan on the way to Portoroz and
Slovenia. Groznjan is a very nice little town for maybe few hundret
people based on a top a small hil. It's very scenic.
- regarding Trieste, if you do plan to continue to Alps, then this is
ok. If you just want to reach Austria, take into consideration to mind
Trieste and to ride through Slovenia as the west of Slovenia and the
Julian Alps with lakes Bled and Bohinj are beautyfull...
One final tip for Montenegro and Croatia:
whenever you come, you'll have a great time but, is possible, try to
re-shedule your trip to June or September. The coast is a touristic
place and it does get very crowded during July and August. The traffic
gets heavy, especially with mindless touristic people and it might
influence your holiday.

CARSON, Calif. — In the US' friendly with Mexico last month, the game changed around the 60th minute when new head coach Jurgen Klinsmann subbed on Brek Shea and Robbie Rogers. The pair of MLS wingers provided an attacking spark, using their speed to get behind the Mexican defense and providing more width to the team.
It’s not necessarily in keeping with the modern game’s push for compactness in the midfield, which in turn allows the outside backs to get into the attack more. But in light of Klinsmann’s desire for his players to express themselves, these “old-time wingers” might be the key to the US national team’s success.
“It’s interesting: We kind of get players right now who have the capabilities to stay on the line out there,” Klinsmann said on Thursday evening. “Robbie Rogers can stay on the line. Brek Shea can keep the line.”
On Friday night against Costa Rica (11 pm ET, ESPN2, Galavisión), both Rogers and Shea are expected to play major roles, perhaps getting starting nods. In Klinsmann’s multi-pronged attack, true wide play — that is, getting the ball to the flank, getting to the endline, serving crosses in — has not been a focus.
But in the middle of his second camp with the USMNT, Klinsmann seems to be recognizing where the strengths of his players lies, not only at the senior level, but also at the youth level. It might have a profound effect on how the manager decides the team should play.
“We have also some younger kids coming through that we have an eye already on who play like old-time wingers,” he said. “We try to adapt piece by piece to their strengths. … The Under-20 team feeds into the national team, the Under-18 feeds into the Under-20.”
Which means, in short, that some of those “younger kids” will certainly be in the conversation when the Olympic team begins to convene sometime this fall, in preparation for next spring’s qualification tournament. Shea, for one, hopes he’ll be a part of that squad.
“I’m excited for the Olympics,” Shea said. “That’s one of the coolest things you can do. I’m looking forward to that and hopefully I can be a part of that.”
“The Olympic team is very, very important because it’s a very prestigious tournament,” Klinsmann said. “If you look at [the current US roster] and how many of these kids could play in in London next summer, it’s quite exciting. And I want them to have that experience.”

You can also get to Cayo Costa with a 1 mile paddle from Boca Grande but
it is across an inlet which can be rough. They will also ferry you

Nameless in collaboration with other Kenyan artists have released a new song named Bandana ya Esir.
The new hit is intended to honor the late teen artist Esir, who would be turning 40 years this year.
Nameless, who was a best friend to Esir has sung the song alongside other artists who including Trio Mio, Nelly the Goon, Habib and DMore.
The video of the Gengetone stars veteran performers like Wahu, Wyre, Jua Cali and Nyashinski.
Rapper King Kaka also assumed a major part in the song as he planned the Bandana that has Esir’s face.
“This project we about to release is very close to my heart .We celebrate our brother ESIR with a CROSS-GENERATION of artists!Some Veterans made a cameo to show LOVE for our fallen friend,” Nameless said on the release of the song.
Esir died in 2003 subsequent to being involved in a tragic road accident.
Here is the song.


|Demystifying Pivot Tables|
|Written by Janet Swift|
|Friday, 20 August 2010|
Page 1 of 4
Pivot tables are often considered to be complicated and difficult to use - but they correspond to a simple idea and a simple way of working with data. Find out what a pivot table is and how to implement one in WPF.
Pivot tables are really useful tools for presenting and exploring data but they have an unfair reputation for being complicated. Indeed many users hear the term "pivot table" but never quite manage to find out what it is all about.
The idea, however, is very simple and you probably already have lots of data that are ideal for a pivot table. Let's start with a brief explanation of exactly what the key ideas are.
Almost any data that you collect in a spreadsheet or a database is categorised, usually on multiple categories. For example, you might start to keep a spreadsheet of profits made by three stores A, B and C. Then you might well record the data using something like:
Nothing special so far but now suppose that the Profit figures correspond to different types of sales - mobile phones, mp3 players and videos. How would you now record the data? One way is to simply add another column and record the type of each profit:
If you think about it for a moment it should be easy to see that an alternative way of entering the same data is to use a column for Store and a Row for Type:
This form of recording the data is often referred to as a cross tabulation or a cross tab for short. The first form is so standard that it hardly has a name but when it is necessary to make a distinction between it and a crosstab it is usually called a one-dimensional form or a flat form. You can see that the cross tab has two dimensions - Store down the column and Type across the rows.
So far so good. Now what happens if we add another category?
Suppose the stores are in either the north or the south of the sales territory. The flat version of the data is easy enough to generalise - simply add another column:
What about the cross tab or multi-dimensional form? The key is in the "multi-dimensional". In this case we have three categories - Store, Type of profit and Region. You can use these to create a cube with each cell labeled by one category from each of the "dimensions". Of course you can't easily construct a spreadsheet cube and even if you could adding another set of categories would force you to need a four dimensional cube and so on. Even though you can't imagine a 4-D cube, a hypercube, the principles are the same.
If you have n categorical measurements, i.e n categorical dimensions, each data value can be imagined to be in a cell labeled by one category value from each of the dimensions. For example, the top row of the spreadsheet:
can be interpreted as saying that the data value or measure Profit=500 should be in a cell in a 3D cube labeled by Store=A, Type=Mobile and Region=N.
This sort of interpretation works for any number of dimensions without having to imagine n-dimensional hypercubes.
