#1 Stay at a Family Focused Hotel (hint, hint we know of a good Niagara Falls Hotel)
We all know that kids love hotels and for that one reason alone, you don’t really need to leave the hotel, because the kids will have fun jumping on the beds (shhh don’t tell the hotel), watching movies, staying in the their jimmies all day, splashing in the indoor pool and checking out the arcade room. We do know however that as a parent for your sanity (insert a happy face emoji here) you need to leave the hotel.
#2 Clifton Hill
Kids under 12 are drawn to this place of fun. They could spend hours playing all the games in the Great Canadian Midway (over 70,000 square feet of fun to be exact). There is also the Ghost Blasters Dark Ride, Strike Rock N’ Bowl, Glow in the Dark mini golf and the Niagara SkyWheel. Plus there are tons of Haunted Houses and Museums.
#3 Butterfly Conservatory – Northern Owls Exhibit
This is a limited time exhibit at the Butterfly Conservatory featuring these magical birds of prey. Learn about the fascinating behaviour, biology and lifestyle of owls during this special exhibition! During March Break week there will be a display with demos on March 11th, 12th 15th and 18th. And parents you will love this too because it’s fun and educational (fun-cational). I think we just created a word. Nope, just googled it and it is a word.
Northern Owls Exhibit
A trip to Niagara Falls would not be complete without a trip to the Bird Kingdom, the World’s Largest Indoor Bird Aviary. Here you’ll experience exotic birds flying freely in a multi-level rainforest, a night jungle with bats, owls and other noctural creatures, a whole room dedicated to reptiles such as snakes, tortoises, bearded dragons and other exotic species.

Family Yoga Series – March 16th – 7pm – 9pm
This is a great way to connect with your family through interactive yoga games, stretching and hopefully having a zen moment (even a small moment would be good).
What child doesn’t like magic? Greg Frewin is not like your typical magic shows. This show is similar to one that you would experience in Las Vegas – it’s captivating, featuring illusions and real siberian tigers and exotic birds that will take your breath away.

Petrol prices slashed by Rs 0.56 per litre
Last Updated at
- 07:48 pm, October 08, 2012
Rupee's growing value against the dollar makes petrol cheaper by 56 paise; revised price to be effective from midnight.
Earlier this month, we had reported that a cut in petrol prices is anticipated on the back of slightly appreciating value of the Indian rupee against the U.S dollar. And thanks to exactly that, the prices of the international crude oil have fallen, which in turn have brought the cost of petrol in India down by Rs 0.56 per litre. The revised prices will be effective from midnight.
Petrol will now cost Rs 67.90 per litre at Indian Oil Corp's (IOC) petrol pumps in New Delhi with effect from midnight as against Rs 68.46 a litre. Bharat Petroleum Corp (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corp (HPCL), the other two state fuel retailers are expected to follow suit in cutting rates but price at their pumps would vary by one or two paise.
The cost of petrol was last revised on June 24 when they were hiked by 70 paise.
Effective from midnight, this is how the petrol price across the metro's will look like:
Delhi: Rs. 67.90 per litre
Kolkata: Rs. 75.44 per litre
Mumbai: Rs. 74.43 per litre
Chennai: Rs. 71.48 per litre

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is seeking submissions on an application to introduce and release Kordyana sp., the Brazilian yellow leaf spot fungus, to control the weed Tradescantia fluminensis.
The application is being made by the Auckland Council.
Tradescantia fluminensis, commonly known as ‘wandering Willie’, is a problem weed in conservation areas and home gardens. It forms dense mats which can smother low-growing plants, including native tree seedlings.
The EPA earlier approved the introduction of three beetles as biocontrol agents for tradescantia. In its application, Auckland Council states that the introduction of Kordyana sp. will complement the effects of these insects.
The EPA is now seeking submissions from the public on the application.
Submissions close on 25 October 2012.

New Delhi, Oct 7 (Calcutta Tube) Power Minister Sushilkumar Shinde Tuesday said India required over $300 billion investment in electricity and invited foreign investors to participate in the sector.
‘The scope for investment in the power sector over the next few years is well over $300 billion and given our large expansion programme in this sector, we would definitely need and welcome a large amount of foreign direct investment,’ he said at the 7th Annual India Investment Forum in New York.
‘The confidence of investors in our sector is reflected in the fact that the initial public offer of public sector undertakings under the ministry of power over the last 5 to 6 years have been over-subscribed between 13 to 77 times,’ he added, according to a statement issued by the power ministry.
Shinde said that India is growing at rapid pace and has huge opportunities for investments and technology in the power sector to move forward on the path of growth and progress.
The Indian power sector has the fifth largest electricity generation capacity in the world at more than 164,000 megawatt and the world’s third largest transmission and distribution network.
However, the demand from increased manufacturing activities, a growing population and the rising energy needs of a rapidly growing consumer base has led to a situation where the supply of energy falls short of the demand.
There is a peaking shortage of almost 12 percent and an energy shortage of 9 to 10 percent in the electricity sector alone. The country is targeting a capacity addition of 62,000 megawatt in the 11th five year plan during the 2012-2017.

Saudi Arabia repatriating thousands of migrants back to Ethiopia
UN official warns mass deportations risk spread of coronavirus to the region
(ft)–Saudi Arabia is stepping up the deportation of thousands of Ethiopians, including some who are suspected of suffering from coronavirus, an act that some migrant advocates have described as reckless and inhumane. Over the past 10 days, up to two flights a day carrying Ethiopian migrants have landed at Addis Ababa international airport, before returning to Saudi Arabia loaded with cattle exports. A total of 2,968 migrants were returned in the first 10 days of April, according to one UN official who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak on the matter.
“This is simply not the moment for mass deportations from a public health perspective,” said Catherine Sozi, UN humanitarian co-ordinator for Ethiopia. “These mass deportations, without any pre-departure medical screening are likely to exacerbate the spread of Covid-19 to the region and beyond.” A senior Saudi official said the kingdom was not conducting forced repatriations but was co-ordinating with countries if migrants wanted to return home. “We are co-operating with individual countries to say ‘do you want your people back, are you able to receive them, what can we help to enable them to come back?’” the official said. “And where countries have responded positively, we are organising flights, some of it we pay for to send them home, but we are not forcing people.”
Foreign workers account for about a third of Saudi Arabia’s 30m population and more than 80 per cent of the kingdom’s private sector workforce. Riyadh has imposed a strict lockdown to contain Covid-19 that has shuttered many areas of the economy, but businesses are eligible for government support to pay salaries. “I don’t think we will see in Saudi Arabia a significant number [of foreign workers] as a percentage going out,” the Saudi official said. “If we are to look at big picture in the next three months, I would not imagine anything more than 10 per cent going out because of flight capacity.” Ms Sozi said the UN was calling for a temporary suspension of the deportations to give Ethiopian authorities time to plan properly for the migrants’ safe repatriation.
Ethiopia could not be expected to cope with the sheer number of deportations, she said. “If you keep receiving 600-700 migrants a day and they all have to go into quarantine something will break,” said one western official in Addis Ababa. “The fear is that they will dump these people here and that the conditions in the quarantine centres will guarantee the spread of the disease.” Ethiopia has requested that the deportations stop during the coronavirus crisis, and on Saturday denied landing rights to a Saudi aircraft, according to a person familiar with the deportations. The Ethiopian foreign ministry could not be contacted for comment.
The migrants are being taken to
into separate isolation facilities. On one recent flight with 308 passengers, staff working for the World Health Organization identified seven people with suspected Covid-19 symptoms.
“Ethiopia’s ability to respond is stretched to the limit,” said one person with direct knowledge of the deportations. “But everybody is scared of talking about what’s going on. No one wants to be on the wrong side of Saudi Arabia.”
Saudi Arabia is an important investor in Ethiopia and has provided the government of Abiy Ahmed, prime minister, with help to alleviate the country’s chronic shortage of foreign exchange.
Saudi Arabia began repatriating Ethiopian migrants from mid-2018, according to UN officials. At the time, there were as many as 500,000 Ethiopians in the kingdom working in the construction industry, as maids or as animal herders, they said.
As many as 300,000 Ethiopians had been repatriated during the past two years. Nearly 2m foreign workers have left the kingdom since the beginning of 2017 as Riyadh has implemented labour reforms and imposed tariffs on expatriates and their dependants.
But the Ethiopian government recently asked for a moratorium on deportations to stop the spread of coronavirus, UN officials said. Saudi Arabia had, if anything, stepped up repatriations in recent days, they added.
An estimated 30,000 Ethiopian migrants trying to reach Saudi Arabia are also trapped in Yemen, according to migrant officials. Some are being pushed further north towards Saudi Arabia while others are being moved south into Djibouti, which borders Ethiopia, they said.
Other Gulf states, emboldened by Saudi Arabia’s actions, are also deporting Ethiopian migrants, UN officials added.

Researchers in Manheim, Germany in the University of Heidelberg treated 9 patients with Fibromyalgia for chronic pain. Fibromyalgia causes extreme musculoskeletal pain and causes extreme discomfort in people who suffer from the disease. The patients were given doses of THC pills from 2.5 mg to 15 mg. Patients took no other medication and reported pain reduction of 50%. It is estimated 3 to 6 million Americans suffer from Fibromyalgia. The researchers suggest that a test with a placebo or control patients should be conducted to attain a more accurate result.

"Everything Must Change" is one of those songs that if the artist dares to mess this up when performing it, there will be no forgiveness for sins. Nope!! The song police will be called by me and I will demand that they be arrested! STOPPED!!!
* Randy Crawford – who could never sing any song in a way that would displease anybody – sang this song and stamped it in my memory. Nobody has a voice like this woman.
* My husband found a rendition by the late but still awesomely great Nina Simone.
* Found a duet performance with the inimitably soulful Chaka Khan and unquestionably soulful Simply Red.
They can all relax. Will not have to call the song police for any of them.
- IN MEMORY OF: Nina Simone (1933 – 2003)

World Bulletin / News Desk
Gunmen believed to be linked to al Qaeda killed four soldiers and an officer at a checkpoint on Friday in southeastern Yemen, a local official said.
Two other soldiers were wounded in the attack on the checkpoint outside al-Qatan, one of the largest cities in Hadramout province, the official told Reuters.
The Yemeni Interior Ministry said on its website that "terrorist elements" attacked a checkpoint operated by soldiers, causing deaths and injuries, but gave no specific figures.
"Forces from the 37th Armoured Brigade are pursuing the perpetrators of this cowardly terrorist attack," the ministry said in a statement.
Six soldiers, 10 suspected rebels and a 10-year-old boy died earlier this week in a coordinated attack by a suicide bomber and militant fighters on the headquarters of the army's Fourth Division in Aden, which controls southern Yemen.
Yemen is struggling to restore state authority in the Western-allied country, where one of the most active branches of al Qaeda has exploited political turmoil that began in 2011 when Arab Spring protests forced veteran President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down.
Yemen, a country of 25 million people which shares a long border with the world's top oil exporter Saudi Arabia, is also grappling with a secessionist movement in the south and a rebellion by Shi'ite Muslims in the north.
No one claimed responsibility for the latest raid, which the local official said took place shortly after Friday noon prayers.
"The attack carries the fingerprints of al Qaeda," the official, who declined to be identified, told Reuters by telephone.
It appeared to mirror a raid last week, also in Hadramout province, in which 20 soldiers were killed.
The Yemeni interior minister suspended senior security officials in Hadramout after that attack, state news agency Saba reported at the time.Last Mod: 05 Nisan 2014, 12:02

Swedish St. Lucia Buns
Growing up with a Swedish mom, we had these St. Lucia buns every December 13th.
- Serves: 24 persons
- 1cup milk
- ¾cup white sugar
- ½cup butter, softened
- 1teaspoon salt
- ½teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
- 2(.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- ¾cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees F/43 to 46 degrees C)
- 6½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1egg yolk
- 1tablespoon water
- 1tablespoon raisins, or as needed
Step 1Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat just until bubbles form around the edge of the pan, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add sugar, butter, salt, and saffron, stirring until butter is melted. Let cool to lukewarm temperature, about 2 minutes.
Step 2Sprinkle yeast over warm water in large bowl, stirring until dissolved. Stir in milk mixture and 3 1/2 cups flour until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in eggs. Add remaining flour gradually, mixing in the last by hand until dough leaves the sides of the bowl and is very soft.
Step 3Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover with a bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 4Knead dough with additional flour as needed, about 5 minutes. Place dough in a lightly greased large bowl; flip dough to grease both sides. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
Step 5Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
Step 6Punch down dough. Take golf ball-sized bits of dough and roll out into snakes. Roll each end in opposite directions to create 'S' forms. Place buns on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7Combine egg yolk and water in a bowl with a whisk. Brush over buns.
Step 8Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven, leaving oven on. Quickly place 1 raisin in the center of each 'S' curve.
Step 9Return to the oven and continue to bake until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Traders often jump into trading options with little understanding of the options strategies that are available to them. There are many options strategies that both limit risk and maximize return. With a little effort, traders can learn how to take advantage of the flexibility and power that stock options can provide.
Here are 10 options strategies that every investor should know.
- Options trading might sound complex, but there are a bunch of basic strategies that most investors can use to enhance returns, bet on the market's movement, or hedge existing positions.
- Covered calls, collars, and married puts are used when you already have an existing position in the underlying shares.
- Spreads involve buying one (or more) options and simultaneously selling another option (or options).
- Long straddles and strangles profit when the market moves either up or down.
4 Options Strategies To Know
1. Covered Call
With calls, one strategy is simply to buy a naked call option. You can also structure a basic covered call or buy-write. This is a very popular strategy because it generates income and reduces some risk of being long on the stock alone. The trade-off is that you must be willing to sell your shares at a set price—the short strike price. To execute the strategy, you purchase the underlying stock as you normally would, and simultaneously write—or sell—a call option on those same shares.
For example, suppose an investor is using a call option on a stock that represents 100 shares of stock per call option. For every 100 shares of stock that the investor buys, they would simultaneously sell one call option against it. This strategy is referred to as a covered call because, in the event that a stock price increases rapidly, this investor's short call is covered by the long stock position.
Investors may choose to use this strategy when they have a short-term position in the stock and a neutral opinion on its direction. They might be looking to generate income through the sale of the call premium or protect against a potential decline in the underlying stock’s value.
In the profit and loss (P&L) graph above, observe that as the stock price increases, the negative P&L from the call is offset by the long shares position. Because the investor receives a premium from selling the call, as the stock moves through the strike price to the upside, the premium that they received allows them to effectively sell their stock at a higher level than the strike price: strike price plus the premium received. The covered call’s P&L graph looks a lot like a short, naked put’s P&L graph.
2. Married Put
In a married put strategy, an investor purchases an asset—such as shares of stock—and simultaneously purchases put options for an equivalent number of shares. The holder of a put option has the right to sell stock at the strike price, and each contract is worth 100 shares.
An investor may choose to use this strategy as a way of protecting their downside risk when holding a stock. This strategy functions similarly to an insurance policy; it establishes a price floor in the event the stock's price falls sharply. This is why it's also known as a protective put.
For example, suppose an investor buys 100 shares of stock and buys one put option simultaneously. This strategy may be appealing for this investor because they are protected to the downside, in the event that a negative change in the stock price occurs. At the same time, the investor would be able to participate in every upside opportunity if the stock gains in value. The only disadvantage of this strategy is that if the stock does not fall in value, the investor loses the amount of the premium paid for the put option.
In the P&L graph above, the dashed line is the long stock position. With the long put and long stock positions combined, you can see that as the stock price falls, the losses are limited. However, the stock is able to participate in the upside above the premium spent on the put. A married put's P&L graph looks similar to a long call’s P&L graph.
What's a Married Put?
3. Bull Call Spread
In a bull call spread strategy, an investor simultaneously buys calls at a specific strike price while also selling the same number of calls at a higher strike price. Both call options will have the same expiration date and underlying asset.
This type of vertical spread strategy is often used when an investor is bullish on the underlying asset and expects a moderate rise in the price of the asset. Using this strategy, the investor is able to limit their upside on the trade while also reducing the net premium spent (compared to buying a naked call option outright).
From the P&L graph above, you can observe that this is a bullish strategy. For this strategy to be executed properly, the trader needs the stock to increase in price in order to make a profit on the trade. The trade-off of a bull call spread is that your upside is limited (even though the amount spent on the premium is reduced). When outright calls are expensive, one way to offset the higher premium is by selling higher strike calls against them. This is how a bull call spread is constructed.
How To Manage A Bull Call Spread
4. Bear Put Spread
The bear put spread strategy is another form of vertical spread. In this strategy, the investor simultaneously purchases put options at a specific strike price and also sells the same number of puts at a lower strike price. Both options are purchased for the same underlying asset and have the same expiration date. This strategy is used when the trader has a bearish sentiment about the underlying asset and expects the asset's price to decline. The strategy offers both limited losses and limited gains.
In the P&L graph above, you can observe that this is a bearish strategy. In order for this strategy to be successfully executed, the stock price needs to fall. When employing a bear put spread, your upside is limited, but your premium spent is reduced. If outright puts are expensive, one way to offset the high premium is by selling lower strike puts against them. This is how a bear put spread is constructed.
5. Protective Collar
A protective collar strategy is performed by purchasing an out-of-the-money (OTM) put option and simultaneously writing an OTM call option (of the same expiration) when you already own the underlying asset. This strategy is often used by investors after a long position in a stock has experienced substantial gains. This allows investors to have downside protection as the long put helps lock in the potential sale price. However, the trade-off is that they may be obligated to sell shares at a higher price, thereby forgoing the possibility for further profits.
An example of this strategy is if an investor is long on 100 shares of IBM at $100 as of January 1. The investor could construct a protective collar by selling one IBM March 105 call and simultaneously buying one IBM March 95 put. The trader is protected below $95 until the expiration date. The trade-off is that they may potentially be obligated to sell their shares at $105 if IBM trades at that rate prior to expiry.
In the P&L graph above, you can observe that the protective collar is a mix of a covered call and a long put. This is a neutral trade set-up, which means that the investor is protected in the event of a falling stock. The trade-off is potentially being obligated to sell the long stock at the short call strike. However, the investor will likely be happy to do this because they have already experienced gains in the underlying shares.
What is a Protective Collar?
6. Long Straddle
A long straddle options strategy occurs when an investor simultaneously purchases a call and put option on the same underlying asset with the same strike price and expiration date. An investor will often use this strategy when they believe the price of the underlying asset will move significantly out of a specific range, but they are unsure of which direction the move will take.
Theoretically, this strategy allows the investor to have the opportunity for unlimited gains. At the same time, the maximum loss this investor can experience is limited to the cost of both options contracts combined.
In the P&L graph above, notice how there are two breakeven points. This strategy becomes profitable when the stock makes a large move in one direction or the other. The investor doesn’t care which direction the stock moves, only that it is a greater move than the total premium the investor paid for the structure.
What's a Long Straddle?
7. Long Strangle
In a long strangle options strategy, the investor purchases a call and a put option with a different strike price: an out-of-the-money call option and an out-of-the-money put option simultaneously on the same underlying asset with the same expiration date. An investor who uses this strategy believes the underlying asset's price will experience a very large movement but is unsure of which direction the move will take.
For example, this strategy could be a wager on news from an earnings release for a company or an event related to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a pharmaceutical stock. Losses are limited to the costs–the premium spent–for both options. Strangles will almost always be less expensive than straddles because the options purchased are out-of-the-money options.
In the P&L graph above, notice how the orange line illustrates the two break-even points. This strategy becomes profitable when the price of the stock, either up or down, has significant movement. The investor doesn't care which direction the stock moves, only it moves enough to place one option or the other in-the-money. It needs to be more than the total premium the investor paid for the structure.
8. Long Call Butterfly Spread
The previous strategies have required a combination of two different positions or contracts. In a long butterfly spread using call options, an investor will combine both a bull spread strategy and a bear spread strategy. They will also use three different strike prices. All options are for the same underlying asset and expiration date.
For example, a long butterfly spread can be constructed by purchasing one in-the-money call option at a lower strike price, while also selling two at-the-money call options and buying one out-of-the-money call option. A balanced butterfly spread will have the same wing widths. This example is called a “call fly” and it results in a net debit. An investor would enter into a long butterfly call spread when they think the stock will not move much before expiration.
In the P&L graph above, notice how the maximum gain is made when the stock remains unchanged up until expiration–at the point of the at-the-money (ATM) strike. The further away the stock moves from the ATM strikes, the greater the negative change in the P&L. The maximum loss occurs when the stock settles at the lower strike or below (or if the stock settles at or above the higher strike call). This strategy has both limited upside and limited downside.
9. Iron Condor
In the iron condor strategy, the investor simultaneously holds a bull put spread and a bear call spread. The iron condor is constructed by selling one out-of-the-money (OTM) put and buying one OTM put of a lower strike–a bull put spread–and selling one OTM call and buying one OTM call of a higher strike–a bear call spread.
All options have the same expiration date and are on the same underlying asset. Typically, the put and call sides have the same spread width. This trading strategy earns a net premium on the structure and is designed to take advantage of a stock experiencing low volatility. Many traders use this strategy for its perceived high probability of earning a small amount of premium.
In the P&L graph above, notice how the maximum gain is made when the stock remains in a relatively wide trading range. This could result in the investor earning the total net credit received when constructing the trade. The further away the stock moves through the short strikes–lower for the put and higher for the call–the greater the loss up to the maximum loss.
Maximum loss is usually significantly higher than the maximum gain. This intuitively makes sense, given that there is a higher probability of the structure finishing with a small gain.
10. Iron Butterfly
In the iron butterfly strategy, an investor will sell an at-the-money put and buy an out-of-the-money put. At the same time, they will also sell an at-the-money call and buy an out-of-the-money call. All options have the same expiration date and are on the same underlying asset. Although this strategy is similar to a butterfly spread, it uses both calls and puts (as opposed to one or the other).
This strategy essentially combines selling an at-the-money straddle and buying protective “wings.” You can also think of the construction as two spreads. It is common to have the same width for both spreads. The long, out-of-the-money call protects against unlimited downside. The long, out-of-the-money put protects against downside (from the short put strike to zero). Profit and loss are both limited within a specific range, depending on the strike prices of the options used. Investors like this strategy for the income it generates and the higher probability of a small gain with a non-volatile stock.
In the P&L graph above, notice that the maximum amount of gain is made when the stock remains at the at-the-money strikes of both the call and put that are sold. The maximum gain is the total net premium received. Maximum loss occurs when the stock moves above the long call strike or below the long put strike.
Which Options Strategies Can Make Money in a Sideways Market?
A sideways market is one where prices don't change much over time, making it a low-volatility environment. Short straddles, short strangles, and long butterflies all profit in such cases, where the premiums received from writing the options will be maximized if the options expire worthless (e.g., at the strike price of the straddle).
Are Protective Puts a Waste of Money?
Protective puts are insurance against losses in your portfolio. Like all other types of insurance, you pay a regular premium to the insurer and hope that you never need to file a claim. The same is true for portfolio protection: you pay for the insurance, and if the market does crash, you'll be better off than if you didn't own the puts.
What Is a Calendar Spread?
A calendar spread involves buying (selling) options with one expiration and simultaneously selling (buying) options on the same underlying in a different expiration. Calendar spreads are often used to bet on changes in the volatility term structure of the underlying.
What Is a Box Spread?
A box is an options strategy that creates a synthetic loan by going long a bull call spread along with a matching bear put spread using the same strike prices. The result will be a position that always pays off the distance between the strikes at expiration. So if you put on a 20-strike, 40-strike box, it will always expire worth $20. Prior to expiration, it will be worth less than $20, making it function like a zero-coupon bond. Traders use boxes to borrow or lend funds for money management purposes depending on the implied interest rate of the box.

I mean, who wrote all the bowings?

When you hear about student loans and bankruptcy, it’s usually the student who is filing for bankruptcy protection. Not so in the case of ITT Education Services.
This time it was the for-profit school filing for bankruptcy, and its students were left to deal with the economic consequences. Looking into the ITT case brings up several key issues concerning bankruptcy, such as managing with student loans, determining creditors, and establishing assets. An article by The Washington Post explained the students’ struggle to become creditors in the company’s bankruptcy, and in this post we look into some of the details of this unique case.


Mike Moustakas is no longer a Royal.
Milwaukee has acquired the 29-year-old third baseman from Kansas City in exchange for outfield prospect Brett Phillips and minor league pitcher Jorge Lopez, according to a report from MLB.com. The Red Sox and Braves had also reportedly expressed interest in Moustakas.
Per source: The Royals have agreed to a deal with the Brewers for Mike Moustakas for Minor Leaguers Brett Phillips and Jorge Lopez.
— Jeffrey Flanagan (@FlannyMLB) July 28, 2018
Moustakas has registered a .249/.309/.468 slash line so far this season. He has also hit 20 home runs and tallied 62 RBIs.
Moustakas, a two-time All-Star, had spent all eight of his MLB seasons with the Royals. He won the World Series with Kansas City in 2015.
Milwaukee will move current starting third baseman Travis Shaw to second, according to an earlier report from MLB Network. Shaw has recorded a .246 batting average with 19 home runs and 59 RBIs this season.
The Brewers acquired reliever Joakim Soria from the White Sox earlier this week.
Milwaukee is currently second in the National League Central with a 59-46 record. The Royals are well out of playoff contention at 31-71.

- ANC's National Working Committee is going to have a meeting on Monday to talk about Ace Magashule
- The suspended secretary-general has landed in trouble for writing a letter of suspension to Cyril Ramaphosa
- The ANC has selected top lawyers to deal with the case of Ace Magashule and find the way forward
The African National Congress (ANC) National Working Committee (NWC) will meet on Monday to examine suspended secretary-general Ace Magashule.
This is for Magashule's resistance of the National Executive Committee's (NEC) guidance to apologize to party branches for composing a letter of suspension to President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Magashule composed a letter of suspension to Ramaphosa and furthermore moved toward the High Court in Johannesburg to save his suspension and to pronounce the ANC's progression to the side goal unlawful.
According to SABC News, during the last NEC meeting, Magashule was suspended and he was given 48 hours to apologize to the ANC branches or face further disciplinary action. Ramaphosa portrayed Magashule's lead as both shocking and uncommon.
PAY ATTENTION: Never miss breaking news – join Briefly News' Telegram channel
Magashule, in his application, additionally included records of the brief snippets which were spilled to the media to legitimize his case that his suspension depended on factional fights inside the ANC according to IOL.
The sources said Magashule would also come under fire for including the transcripts of the audio clippings in his court application.
Briefly News previously reported that Ramaphosa did not expect Ace Magashule to take legal action against the ANC. President Cyril Ramaphosa revealed that he was caught off guard by suspended ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule's decision to take the ANC to court.
This was because he thought that Magashule would not question the constitutional grounds for the step-aside policy adopted by the ANC.
According to eNCA, Ramaphosa revealed that Magashule had been instrumental in implementing and adhering to the ANC constitution. Ramaphosa has doubled down on his decision as president of the ANC and the country.
News24 reported that he said that he has not lost any sleep over the steps he has taken as president. The ANC is facing a challenging time as suspended members are taking the party to court and the party appears fractured.

Hassan Abdal Cadet College founder to be remembered
NEW DELHI, May 11(Daily Times): Sahibzada Alamzeb, 91,
of Pakistan is due to travel to India with his two daughters later this month to
participate in the centenary celebrations of legendary British teacher Hugh
Catchpole, who had the rare distinction of heading military colleges in both
India and Pakistan.
Mr Alamzeb is among a delegation of 125 foreigners
arriving in the Indian city of Dehra Dun to take part in the celebrations. The
centenary celebrations due to be held on May 26 at the Rashtriya Indian Military
College (RIMC) at Dehra Dun will honour Catchpole, the last British principal of
the college who was among the two British masters who stayed back after
independence and went on to later set up and head the Cadet College at Hasan
Abdal in Pakistan on the lines of the RIMC.
For Mr Alamzeb, it is a dream
come true as his attempts in the past to visit his alma mater had been
unsuccessful and he sees the opportunity at last coming at this ripe age. Indian
and Pakistani governments are bringing out special postal covers and stamps on
May 26 in memory of Catchpole. Catchpole died in Pakistan on February 1, 1997
and was buried, as per his last wish, at the military school he founded at Hasan
His students of RIMC, the Rimcollians, are converging at Dehra Dun
from Pakistan, Bangladesh, the UK, United States and Middle East to join his
centenary celebrations that include unveiling of his marble bust at the RIMC and
release of a coffee table book, a joint Indo-Pak production, on him by Indian
Defence Minister AK Anthony,
RIMC cadets and Rimcollians from
will cross the border on June 10 to join similar celebrations in
Pakistan. PTV is airing a special feature on Catchpole on May 26.
celebrations at the RIMC on May 26 with the Indian defence minister as the chief
guest will have one of the illustrious students of Catchpole, Lt Gen (r) MM
Lakhera, governor of Mizoram, preside over the functions. The event is hailed as
an unprecedented example of enhancing people to people contacts between the two
According to the Indian Defence Ministry, which is coordinating
the celebrations, the functions on May 26 are the second phase of the
celebrations as the first phase was conducted in February this year when 35 boys
and masters from Pakistani schools came and participated in an inter school
cricket tournament at the RIMC, for which a silver cup has been instituted by
the Indian chief of the army staff.
Born in 1907 in Ipswich (England),
Hugh Catchpole joined the RIMC at Dehra Dun in 1928 as an assistant master and
rose to become the principal in 1947 and continued until his contract was over
in 1954 when his Rimcollian students in Pakistan persuaded him to shift to
Pakistan and establish the RIMC-styled Cadet College at Hasan Abdal. Thereafter,
he went on to head the PAF Public School at Sargodha from where he retired at
the age of 60 and spent the next 30 years teaching English at Abbottabad Public

and I grew up in a country where we have freedom & protection.
I want to tell you, that you are all heroes. You live daily for Christ knowing the cost. Just like Jesus did. You walk forward even when you have no access to a church, to another Christian, or even a Bible. Yet your faith in the one true God grows. I know you get weary. I know you get scared. I know that you cry out to God in desperation, seeking hope.
He is with you. And believe it or not, there are brothers & sisters in Christ praying for you.
My blog gets read by many people all over the world!
US, Kuwait, UK, Saudia Arabia, Calcutta, Belgium, Mauritus, Vienna, Australia, Skane Lan, Canada, Paris, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, Russia, Ukraine...and many more.
I don't know whether my readers are atheist, Muslim, Christian, Hindus, Jews, or Pagan. But I do know, that God has put it on my heart to write a message to the body of Christ.
I am praying for you. I carry you in my heart & in my prayers daily. Please be encouraged that God is with you and all things work for good to those who love him and are called according to his purpose.
Blessed are those who are persecuted,
for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.
"People will insult you and hurt you. They will lie and say all kinds of evil things about you because you follow me. But when they do, you will be blessed. Rejoice and be glad, because you have a great reward waiting for you in heaven. People did the same evil things to the prophets who lived before you.
"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its salty taste, it cannot be made salty again. It is good for nothing, except to be thrown out and walked on.
"You are the light that gives light to the world. A city that is built on a hill cannot be hidden. And people don't hide a light under a bowl. They put it on a lampstand so the light shines for all the people in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and will praise your Father in heaven.
I stand in the gap for you, my persecuted brethren. If you have any special prayer needs please write me a comment. I moderate comments before posting them & I will not post your comment to keep you secure.
Remember, Pray for & love your enemies. He that is in YOU is GREATER than he that is in the world. Your father is the Creator of the Universe! NOTHING is too difficult for him!

I will be answering questions using the presentation in the chat about the data that Madison is presenting. Please type your questions here.
Leading causes of death "age adjusted" to account for difference is age distributions.
so how do you adjust for age?
age adjustments use US CDC methodology, weighted data based on age distributions in different parts of the US.
So as an example, in Maine, where the population is generally older, deaths among older adults are adjusted to a lower number so that those data afe comparable to the proportion of deaths among older adults ealsewhere.
Al May, Maine CDC
Straight rates of death or disease are crude rates. To adjust for age as Nancy suggested, you break out the deaths or disease by age groups, determine the expected number, and compare to a standardized population. See https://www.nlm.nih.gov/nichsr/stats_tutorial/section2/mod5_age.html
would the same methodology be used for the arthritis data?
Likely - age adjustment is a descriptive statistic technique that involved proportions and multiplication. It is a standard technique and you can replace any disease with another disease. The goal is to simply remove the age factor so looking at disease is not confounded and we can see the entire disease scope.
currently our BRFSS data, which is used for the number of people with various chronic conditions, including arthritis, is NOT age adjusted. The National and state age adjusted data is available for BRFSS at the US CDC.

Oscar Isaac has long earned his geekdom following with appearances in the Star Wars and X-Men franchises. The character was originally created in 1975 and has often been referred to as one of Marvel's answers to Batman, as one of the identities taken on by Spector is a millionaire playboy named Steven Grant-very much like Bruce Wayne. Isaac recently also signed on to the HBO limited series Scenes from a Marriage at HBO, reuniting with his old Julliard classmate Jessica Chastain. His other notable film roles include "Ex Machina", "Annihilation", "A Most Violent Year", and "Drive". He's additionally set to star within the upcoming "Dune" movie reboot from Denis Villeneuve.
He is repped by WME, Inspire Entertainment, and Goodman Genow.
Pope Francis Calls for Civil Union Between Same-Sex Couples
"They are now hearing this message from the Pope, and I think it can be life-saving and affirming for those people", said Butler. The movie examines his support for migrants and refugees, the poor, and his work on the issue of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy.
Being a former Marine and a former boxer, Moon Knight is an expert in hand-to-hand combat, and his super strength is directly tied to the moon itself: the fuller it gets, the stronger he gets. Moon Knight is still in its early phases, as Marvel and Disney still need to select a director. The MCU's latest streaming component has yet to properly kick off, but will do so in December with WandaVision, followed by Loki and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
The show was first announced by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige during the D23 Expo back in August of 2019.

Back in the early seventies there seemed to be plenty of cowboy books around. I remember a series featuring a hero called 'Edge'. I was but a lad back then but there seemed to lots of these books doing the rounds and, I think, mainly because of the horrifically gory descriptions, were much sought after by me and my prepubescent chums (I was prepubescent too, by the way, not some old guy with a lot of child friends, anyway I digress). Are there any good westerns stories being written nowadays? I'm not a particular fan but really enjoy thought-provoking westerns like Clint Eastwood's 'Unforgiven'. I've read all the Cormac McCarthy books, Blood Meridian is one of my all-time favourites. Is there anything similar out there in ebook form?

Willie, I don't know much about Westerns, but I learned recently that Dorchester Publishing is doing them in a big way.
In addition, we have quite a few to choose from in the MR library.

As far as what's being written nowadays, I couldn't say; I haven't read any westerns in a long time.
I'd recommend "The Ox-Bow Incident" but it's not available as an ebook, as far as I know.

Check out the Desperado series by Clifton Adams. At least two are here in the MR library.
A friend of mine writes Westerns and he says the current market is dead.

Robert B. Parker's books about Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch... the first of which is Appaloosa.
James D. Best's Steve Dancy novels... The Shopkeeper and Leadville.
All newer books--and all are available in ebook form.

You're driving along as usual when you come to a red light, you press the brake, but nothing happens.
What do you do? It's a scary situation and completely unexpected. Usually, brake failure occurs when you've worn out your brake pads or lost the right amount of brake fluid. If you want to know what to do if your brakes fail, adhere to these suggestions to be safe.
Downshift (What to Do if Your Brakes Fail)
First off, remain calm. The situation is manageable. You must put your vehicle into a low gear smoothly as you can. This task applies to both manual and automatic cars. There are a few things you should never do, such as:
If you have standard brakes, create brake fluid pressure by pumping the brakes rapidly. If, after a couple of pumps, your brakes still aren't functioning correctly, try the next tip below with the emergency brake.
Then, you can try your emergency brake. Please don't depend on it to make your vehicle entirely stop. Your emergency brake, though, will assist you in slowing down. When you first purchase your car, you should locate the emergency brake. Some are a little pedal to the left of the gas, and some emergency brakes are a hand-activated lever.
It's an excellent idea to test your emergency brake when traveling at a slow speed to see how effective it is.
Pull over to the side of the street, turning on your hazard lights. Be careful if you have to change lanes. Use your mirrors to have eyes on any traffic, signaling other motorists that you're moving to the roadside.
Even if you can get your brakes functioning once more after a meltdown, you should pull over and get in touch with a towing company like Buffalo Roadside Assistance. You need to have your car professionally inspected. It's too hazardous to keep driving.
Routine brake care should stop a situation like this. So, make sure you're up to date on your auto maintenance.
Buffalo Roadside is here for all your road care needs. Read our blog for tips on maintenance and how to stay safe on the road!

Earlier this month LA Voice asked “Is LAPD Fudging Our Crime Stats?” and provided more than a handful of stories from people, including us, where officers would not take police reports of incidents, which would make it look like crime rates were dropping. On the LAPD Blog The LAPD’s Officer in Charge of the COMPSTAT Unit, Detective III Jeff Godown responds to this question saying it’s completely unfounded:
“As the Officer in Charge of the COMPSTAT Unit, I have had many discussions with Chief Bratton and the opportunity to talk with every commanding officer on the LAPD regarding the importance of accurately documenting and correctly reporting crime in the city. Each command follows standardized crime investigation and reporting procedures. From attending every COMPSTAT meeting and, after first analyzing the statistics reviewed for patrol operations throughout the city, I can assure you that no Captain, Commander, or Chief level staff officer is “cooking the books” to reduce crime in his area to make themselves look good. Far from the portrayal given of New York Police Department commanders that, “They are, by nature, ambitious people who lust for promotions, and rising crime rates won’t help anybody’s career.”, I know of no LAPD command or staff officer who would “risk” their career by encouraging, or participating in, the “fudging” of crime statistics. It is interesting to note that all the articles concerning these issues have been generated on departments from back east. However, I can only address the LAPD and my role in the COMPSTAT process here in Los Angeles.”
He goes on to say that cooking the books would be completely unethical and remove a considerable amount of trust in the department which I agree with. I guess my question, and perhaps the lingering question from the LA Voice piece is which is a bigger “risk” to a staff officer’s career – cooking the books or missing the projections?
