Blue Jays manager John Gibbons announced Sunday morning in Dunedin, Florida that Brett Cecil will open the 2015 regular season as the team’s closer. This according to MLB.com’s Gregor Chisholm.
Casey Janssen signed with the Nationals this offseason and Jonathan Papelbon’s interest in joining the Blue Jays always felt one-sided, so the gig falls to the left-handed Cecil. Aaron Sanchez moving into the starting rotation following the Marcus Stroman injury also helped to clear the path.
Cecil, 28, posted a 2.70 ERA and 76/27 K/BB ratio in 53 1/3 innings last season. His primary setup man this year will be Aaron Loup.
Marlins infielder/outfielder Brian Anderson departed Friday’s 19-11 win over the Phillies with a left hand contusion, the club announced. Following an X-ray, it was then revealed that he had sustained a fracture of the fifth metacarpal — an injury severe enough that it’ll likely keep him off the field for the remainder of the 2019 season.
Anderson suffered the injury on a hit-by-pitch in the third inning. On the first pitch of the at-bat, with the bases loaded and one out, he took a 93.9-m.p.h. fastball off his left hand. The HBP forced in a run, but he doubled over in pain and was quickly examined by a member of the Marlins’ staff before officially departing the game in the top of the fourth.
It’s an unfortunate way to end Anderson’s third campaign with the Marlins. The 26-year-old has posted some career-high numbers this year, reaching the 20-homer mark for the first time and batting a healthy .261/.342/.468 with an .810 OPS and 3.0 fWAR through 510 PA. Despite the setback, he should be fully healed and ready to go well in advance of the Marlins’ spring training in 2020.


A video that provides you with detailed information about the differences between the U.S M1 Abrams and the Russian T-90 MS tanks.
The US M1 Abrams
The M1 Abrams battle tank is an American built third-generation primary ground battle tank. It is named after General Creighton Abrams. He was commander-in-chief of the United States armed forces from 1968 to 1972 during the Vietnam War and was a former Army chief of staff.
The M1 is well equipped with weapons and is built with heavily armored plates. The M1 has very good mobility, and it was created for today’s prevailing armored ground warfare. Notable features include the use of a dominant multifuel turbine engine, the adoption of complex composite armor, and a separate section to store ammunition that was protected from the crew for their safety.
It is one of the heaviest battle tanks put into service. The M1 Abrams weighs almost 62 metric tons (nearly 68 short tons). (Wikipedia)
The Russian T-90
The T-90 ground warfare tank is a Russian-built third-generation battle tank that began service in 1993. The Russian T-90 tank is an innovative version of the T-72B and integrates many attributes found on the Russian T-80U. Although it is now named the T-90, it was originally called the T-72BU. It is the most modern and mobile battle tank supporting the Russian Naval Infantry and the Russian Ground Forces and the Naval Infantry.
The T-90 has a 125 mm 2A46, a smoothbore primary gun, the 1A45T fire-control system, a new, modern, upgraded engine, and a thermal sighting system. The Russians have built several standard protective measures for the battle tank and the tank crew that include a blend of steel, composite armor, a laser warning receiver system, the Shtora infrared ATGM jamming system, the Kontakt-5 explosion reactive armor, smoke dischargers, and Nakidka camouflage.
The Russian armed forces have stopped taking any additional orders for the T-90 since 2011 because they are anticipating the development of the new T-14 Armata battle tank that is expected to be ready for service in 2016.

Best Restaurants in the World: Ice Café, Ladakh
The Gya Meeru village Ice Café mirrors a castle straight out of a fairy tale. It is built as a giant conical structure known as an ice stupa and its façade is a textural sensation of icicles. The cafe is built in a very interesting manner—by allowing glacial water to fall, freeze and thicken around a conical net. Important to note, the café is around only until mid-May every year. Post that, the water melts and collect in tanks through a complex network of pipes, and is used to irrigate agricultural lands in the region. Serving the regions local delicacies such as ginger lemon tea, butter tea and noodles, this innovative structure in Ladakh is India's first ever ice resto-café.
Best Restaurants in the World: Angiyok Icebar, Berlin
Landscaped with artistic ice sculptures and atmospheric fluorescent lighting, the Angiyok Icebar in Berlin takes you through a wintry experience in the heart of the city. Equipped with furniture constructed with durable ice, this resto-bar also serves exotic drinks in ice glasses. With temperatures reaching as low as minus ten degrees inside, you will be given a warm parka to protect you from the authentic and adventurous Arctic experience.

The Sarasota/Manatee Barrier Islands Traffic Study has reached its destination.
The Florida Department of Transportation formally presented results of the nearly three-year study Nov. 18 to the Sarasota/Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization. The MPO then unanimously accepted the $675,000 study.
“One of the main goals was to address and reduce congestion on the islands,” DOT traffic safety engineer Nathan Kautz told the MPO during a meeting at Lakewood Ranch Town Hall.
The study focused on what Kautz called the “person model.”
“When people get here, how do we keep them off the roads?” he said. “Cars were considered, but we also looked at how do we move more people?”
The DOT embarked on BITS in early 2017 and unveiled its final list of 76 recommendations two months ago.
Since then, Kautz has been presenting the plan to local government agencies, including the Manatee County Board of Commissioners and the Island Transportation Planning Organization.
The ITPO, which represents the three Anna Maria Island cities, prioritized six projects Nov. 4 for possible DOT funding.
The final steps for BITS will come when the MPO publicly reviews the project priorities Jan. 27, 2020, and submits a final list to the DOT March 15.
That doesn’t guarantee that the DOT will fund all of the suggested ITPO projects.
But the top two projects on the ITPO list are also top priorities for the DOT: Replacement of the 62-year-old Anna Maria Island and Cortez bridges. The transportation agency plans to build 65-foot-clearance fixed spans to replace the two drawbridges.
Both bridge replacements are listed on the agency’s tentative five-year work program for fiscal years 2021-25.
A $6.2 million design plan on the AMI Bridge is well underway but will not be completed until fiscal year 2022-23, DOT spokesman Brian R. Rick told The Islander in August.
The DOT announced Oct. 10 its plan to build a megabridge to replace the Cortez span and said it was starting design work on the structure. That is expected to take at least four-five years to complete.
The agency plans to spend about $8 million by fiscal 2025 for right-of-way acquisition for the new Cortez Bridge.
The DOT decision to construct a 65-foot-clearance bridge through Cortez has drawn strong opposition from many residents in the fishing village, which has been named a U.S. historic district.
Also, the AMI cities and ITPO have passed resolutions opposing the megabridge.
Bradenton Beach Mayor John Chappie, who is the ITPO’s current chairman, stipulated at the organization’s Nov. 8 meeting that the replacement bridge must be midsized and not the high-clearance span the DOT plans to build.
In addition to the replacement bridges, other projects on the ITPO list are:
- Drainage improvements in Bradenton Beach on Gulf Drive from Ninth Street North to the Avenue C intersection with Gulf Drive.
- Complete street improvements in Bradenton Beach from the Longboat Pass Bridge to the northern city limits.
- A right turn lane extension from East Bay Drive to Manatee Avenue in Holmes Beach.
- Establishing multimodal capacity from 27th Street North to the Palm Drive/Gulf Drive intersection in Holmes Beach.

If you are one of the more than 400,000 Nevadans receiving Social Security benefits, there are some strategies to maximize that income.
Chris Abts is the President of Cornerstone Retirement. He says with more and more Baby Boomers nearing retirement age, they need to understand how to make the most of their Social Security benefits. How? According to Abts, there are a number of ways. If you are a widow, for example, you can begin collecting if you are 60 years old. If you are married, one spouse can stop collecting benefits, which then allows their partner to collect spousal benefits. Abts says, if planned correctly, some couples can increase their retirement income by tens of thousands of dollars.
Abts will host two Social Security educational events next week on Wednesday, March 27th and Thursday, March 28th at 5:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Place in Reno. The seminars are free. Register online at: http://www.ktvn.com/global/Category.asp?c=181905

Simon Cowell has asked Mel B to be a judge on The X factor following Sharon Osbourne’s decision to quit.
The music mogul reckons the Spice Girl could be just the person to shake things up.
‘Mel’s in pole position to join the judging panel,’ a source tells the News Of The World.
‘She’s ideal and Simon Cowell is eager for her to join the team.’
Mel, 33, is said to be in talks to sign a £500,000 deal, beating Cheryl Cole, Charlotte Church and Lulu to the job.
Sharon, 55, quit the ITV show last week after reportedly failing to reach an agreement with show bosses about pay.
‘After four fantastic and successful series of The X Factor, she has decided to leave the show,’ her spokesman said.
‘Sharon would like to thank the wonderful British public for their enormous support during what’s been an exciting ride.
‘She would also like to take this opportunity to thank Simon Cowell and ITV, while wishing them all the best for the next series.’

CEU's Simona Gamonte, program coordinator for the University's Human RightS Initiative (HRSI), was honored by the Romanian Roma Women Gala (Gala Femeilor Rome) in the category "Human Rights Activist" for her ongoing dedication to and work in the field of human rights. The gala was initiated in 2011 to honor Roma women who work to improve the lives of Roma communities.
"I feel very happy that I was recognized," Gamonte said. "Even though I'm not working in Romania, this shows that the work I'm doing is appreciated across borders. And even though I'm not directly working with Roma communities, it shows that Roma women in human rights careers can be acknowledged."
Gamonte was nominated by a mentor, Roma rights activist Crina Marina Morteanu, who, in fact, encouraged Gamonte to apply to CEU's Roma Access Program after she completed her undergraduate work and a master's degree in Romania.
"I recommended Simona for this award because it was a great fulfillment for me to see her vehemence and perseverance in promoting human rights, especially Roma women's rights," Morteanu said. "Simona is among the few Roma women who present themselves as public Roma feminists. She's developed personally and professionally very quickly and I consider her a positive example for many Roma girls and women from Romania (particularly from her city) and all over Europe. She followed her dreams with patience and hard work and sought a better education; she uses this education to promote diversity and anti-discrimination not just linked with the Roma minority and girls/women, but for other groups that are discriminated against too."
After completing her MA in Politics, Gender, and Minorities at Romania's National School of Political Studies and Public Administration, Gamonte was unsure about taking Morteanu's advice and applying to RAP. "In my head I thought: Why would I even be accepted? but Crina really pushed me to apply and she wrote me a letter of recommendation. She's been following my career ever since."
Morteanu is especially invested in the education of Roma scholars because she believes it has a powerful effect of society as a whole. "There are multiple forms of discrimination against Roma girls and women which are connected to socioeconomic inequalities and poverty," Morteanu said. "Because of this we need to invest in young Roma scholars, as a mechanism of avoiding exclusion or violence and respecting fundamental human rights."
After graduating from RAP in 2011, Gamonte went on to pursue an MA from CEU's Department of Gender Studies. One of the only programs of its kind, RAP's long-term goal is to prepare young, outstanding Roma scholars to further their education, to conduct local and international academic and advocacy work, and to serve as role models and leaders for the Roma community overall. RAP recently received a $350,000 grant from the Ford Foundation and a €113,000 grant from the Sigrid Rausing Trust. Both foundations are longtime RAP supporters.
"Before starting my studies at CEU in the Roma Access Program, I talked with a RAP alumna about the program who told me that the experience changed her life. I have to say that now those words are embedded in me and this experience has changed my life in a way that I could not imagine," said Gamonte. "My studies at CEU and the feminists whom I've met in Budapest have enriched my critical thinking and broadened my perspectives of how to implement the knowledge I have gained from my studies. HRSI has been an amazing opportunity where I am able to engage in activism that touches upon different layers of human rights issues and put into practice my educational background."
Unable to attend the ceremony in Bucharest, Gamonte's mother Lenuta Gamonte accepted the award at the gala on March 6. Gamonte is currently directing CEU/HRSI's production of "The Vagina Monologues" and is working with Morteanu to have the script translated in Romanian for a future production in Bucharest.

Israel’s idealism often overwhelms its governmental delivery system
By Ira Sharkansky
JERUSALEM — Israel is too small and too poor for the demands that it lays upon itself, and are imposed by the world.
My favorite newspaper photo of the day shows a file room at a court house. It came with a story about a plaintiff’s case of medical malpractice that failed on account of a lost file. We see in the picture what we know about government offices, hospitals and other public facilities. There is too much to do in order to assure proper treatment.
Just last evening on our walk around French Hill we encountered a problem that might have justified a call to the police, but where the prospect of quick service versus the severity of the problem deterred us from making the call.
We passed by a group of Arabs dressed as if they had come from a family feast to celebrate the end of a daily Ramadan fast. Suddenly a boy of about 14 jumped, yelled, smacked his hand against a parked car, and swaggered off as if he had rendered appropriate damage to a Jew’s property.
Call the cops and point out the vandal? Last time we called the police was a more serious event of an Arab assaulting a young woman. At that time our first call to the emergency number broke off in the midst of our report. When we did make contact, it took 10 minutes for the first patrol car to arrive. This in a neighborhood bordering an Arab community with a high incidence of minor and not so minor incidents.
So last night we continued on our walk, frustrated at the system and angry at ourselves for choosing the easy over what might have been the appropriate decision.
Another case: the Supreme Court has ordered the government to reconsider the appointment of a woman to the commission investigating the seizure of the Turkish flotilla.
What to do? The law requires that such bodies include a woman, but the Court made its decision after the commission had already heard what are likely to be the most important witnesses from the government and the military.
The entire investigation is a farce. So what that nine fighters (terrorists, if you will) were killed in a military operation? How many operations of American and NATO forces have caused as many casualties in the area from Iraq eastward without provoking the United Nations and pressuring the soldiers’ home country to conduct a public investigation?
Another case: Ha’aretz is exposing that several thousand illegals from Africa have been held in detention longer than the period of time allowed by law before their cases are settled. Many of these individuals have no documents and come from countries without functioning governments. But a judge may look at the law, and order that individuals held too long be let out on the street. The individuals waiting for such a determination look something like those files pictured above: too many to deal with according to requirements.
Who’s responsible? Both Israelis and the world. Seekers of justice work to impose whatever regulations they pick up from elsewhere in order to make things better here. The people making the demands are Israelis and Jews feeling that Israel must be at least as good as other countries.
Then there is the world, always on edge in search of a new accusation that can be made against Israel.
Remember those 400 children of illegal immigrants ordered deported. There are daily articles describing citizen and overseas activists–from Eilie Wiesel downward–concerned that Israel might despoil itself by expelling children who should not be here.
None of these are bad ideas, but Israel does not have the population or resources of all those countries serving as models of public policy. And the resources that it does have are allocated more than elsewhere to defense. Staying alive comes at the cost of an ideal public administration or an environment as clean as that of Germany.
Overall, the country does not do badly with what it has. Its health and welfare, the incidence of violent crime, and the safety of its prisons look better than in the United States, but that is an easy standard of comparison. There is no other country where all of the universities are on the Chinese list of the 500 best in the world.
Thinking about making it better, I return to those moments last evening when I considered calling the cops against that teenager from Isaweea. Most likely the police had more serious things to do. One of my neighbors has a dented car, and an Arab is feeling good that he did something to the Jews. I am angry at myself, but would have been even angrier if the call to the police did not go through, if the patrol car came too late, or was met by women screaming about a racist Jew who had summoned the police for no reason about a well behaved boy.

RIPLEY • There are good things happening in Tippah County despite concerns over the COVID-19 virus.
With school districts canceling classes, some area children have been left without nutritious meals to eat but area churches, schools and businesses are working to help get free meals to these children.
Ripley Elementary School offered grab and go sack lunches to children from 10:30 to noon Wednesday in the RES cafeteria and will do so on Thursday as well.
Karen Hurt, Director of Child Nutrition for South Tippah Schools, said that volunteers prepared 360 lunches on Wednesday. She said they are doing the program through the Office of Child Nutrition are required to have five components in the meal: fruit, vegetables, bread, meat and milk.
Wednesday the lunches included ham and cheese sandwiches, apples, carrots, chips and chocolate milk.
"We are trying to meet them at the door as they come to keep people from congregating," said Hurt.
The lunches are available at the entrance to the RES cafeteria. When a patron arrives, a volunteer will ask how many lunches they need and will bring the bagged lunches to them so they do not have to enter the cafeteria.
Hurt said that there has been an overwhelming amount of volunteers who have come to help prepare the sacked lunches.
"Yesterday, some of the Ripley Elementary teachers came to wash and bag apples," said Hurt. "We have to have all of our apples washed, bagged anf sealed if they are eating the peel."
"We are not sure if we will do this next week. We are going to see how it goes and make the decision from there," continued Hurt.
Other area groups are helping to supply the need for food to children as well. First Baptist Church in Ripley gave out lunches on Monday and Tuesday and gave out food for children to have all week. Flat Rock Baptist Church gave out lunches at Hickory Flat Attendance Center this week as well.
Jacob's Produce gave children apples on Wednesday and Little Ceasar's is scheduled to give pizza to students on Thursday from 1-2 p.m.

BRUSSELS – Leaders of political groups in the European Parliament on Saturday condemned last week’s statements by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán about the mixing of races in Europe and Hungary. TASR informs about it based on the AFP report.
The so-called Conference of Presidents, which consists of the EP President and heads of individual parliamentary factions, saw in its statement that Orbán’s “openly racist” warning against the creation of racially mixed nations is unacceptable and violates the values enshrined in the EU treaties.
The European Commission has not yet officially commented on the case
At the same time, the leaders of the EP called on the European Commission and the European Council to condemn Orbán’s statements as emphatically as possible. The European Commission has not yet officially commented on the case, but its vice-president Frans Timmermans called it racism on Twitter on Wednesday “a poisonous political invention that should have no place in Europe”. However, he did not directly mention Orbán in the tweet.
In a speech at the 31st Summer University of Hungarians in the Romanian city of Baile Tušnad, Orbán spoke about the mixing of races in addition to the Russian-Ukrainian war. “(We Hungarians) are not a mixed race and we don’t want to become a mixed race,” declared Orbán, among other things, warning against mixing Europeans with non-Europeans.

A valid Will minimizes unnecessary stress, family fighting, time delays, and expenses for your loved ones to wrap-up your estate. Not only can a Will legally protect your spouse, children, and assets, it can also spell out exactly how you would like things handled after your death.
Without a Will:
- legal proceedings to divvy up your estate will be the only way to decide who gets what,
- your property will have to be divided according to provincial legislation which may not be consistent with your wishes,
- a court will have to decide who will act as your executor for your Will and guardian for your children,
- a common-law spouse or step-child, for example, could be excluded from receiving anything from your estate, and
- if your relatives can’t be located, the government may even keep your assets.
We can answer your Will planning questions, such as choosing an executor for your Will and guardian for your children, and reducing your tax burden when distributing your property after your death for your loved ones to get the most out of your estate.

In Peachtree City, a water line recently broke and went undetected for a lengthy period of time, causing large amounts of soil to wash towards a nearby retention pond. This was especially problematic since it occurred underneath a large retaining wall that supports a large retail store! Settlement of the back corner of the building led to the discovery of the deeper and profoundly serious issues below.
A contractor installed helical piers (steel foundation pins) around the back corner of the building. The GCS crew then performed deep injections of Alchemy-Spetec’s AP Lift 430 in a curtain pattern to compact loose soil around the piers and prevent any future lateral movement. To remedy the washed-out soil issue along the drainpipe that feeds the retention pond, the GCS crew also did a series of probe injections (driving grout probes down 13 feet to essentially straddle the pipe).
The crew then injected AP Soil 600 to permeate and squeeze the unstable soil as well as fill any voids created by the washout. This repair took a few days. Could you imagine how much time and money it would take to rebuild a 20’x150’ retaining wall?!
Call us now at 678-337-8374 for a free assessment of any soil or settlement issues.


Australia: Australia’s unreleased transport data is now available on a new innovative open data platform. Developed by mapping technology VicRoads – Esri’s ArcGIS Platform – the VicRoads Open Data Site features more than 50 high quality and publicly available datasets.
“Our platform provides easy access to a wealth of road and transport data, including traffic congestions, road incidents and crashes, and emergency road closures. Developers, data scientists, spatial specialists and the public are encouraged to explore the platform to build apps and tools to make travel easier and safer for all Victorians,” said Dr Parsa, VicRoads Manager for Spatial Services.

Volleyball South Africa’s (VSA) President, Anthony Kamohelo Mokoena was a popular choice among the ten members states to become the Zone V1 Vice President in the 2020 elections.
It came as no surprise when the delegates backed Mokoena as the Zone V! second in charge when the Zone hosted its 2020 Elective Congress virtually in November. The Zonal Elective Congress was graced by the newly elected President of CAVB, Madam Bouchra Hajij from Morocco.
After the election results were announced an emotional Anthony Mokoena reflected on his involvement in volleyball that spanned a 32 year period when he started his career as a manager of the Mickey Mouse Volleyball Club that catered for both boys and girls.
Given Mokoena’s managerial and administrative expertise the Free State Volleyball Association convinced him to serve as its Development Director, a crucial portfolio that spearheads programmes to grow the sport in the Free State Province.
Coming into regular contact with youngsters who were passionate about playing the sport at club level prompted Anthony Mokoena to start his own club in 1995, the 76ers a broad based club comprising youth girls and boys and women and men. The club went on to participate at district, provincial and national competitions over the years.
When the new millennium was ushered in it heralded a new beginning for Mokoena. In 2001 from the position of the Free State’s Development Director he was elected to the top provincial position of President. In 2002 Mokoena was elected as Volleyball South Africa’s Development Director. Six years later in 2008 he was elected as VSA’s Vice President.
As an executive member of VSA Mokoena served the organisation as a manager of various national teams for a number of years at international competitions on the African continent and in Asia.
In 2009 Anthony Mokoena had the privilege of being appointed as the Head Coach of the SAPS National Women’s Team for the prestigious Police and Fire Games hosted in Vancouver, Canada.
In 2013 Mokoena was elected as the Vice President of the SAPS National Volleyball Executive.
The long journey to the top position of Volleyball South Africa’s Executive shortened drastically when the VSA membership gave Mokoena the thumbs up sign in the run up to the 2016 elections. They went on to elect Mokoena unanimously as the President of the National Federation (VSA).
For Anthony Mokoena the crowning glory came in 2018 when he was pitted against an illustrious line up of sports administrators in the Free State for the title of, “Administrator of the Year”. Given Mokoena’s track record as an outstanding volleyball administrator in the Free State and his accomplishments as the first Black President of Volleyball South Africa the organisers had no hesitation in honouring him with the accolade of ‘Administrator of the Year’ in the Free State.
As the President of VSA seeking a 2nd term in office Mokoena has set his sights on transforming the sport as per the Government’s Transformation Charter at the level of the executive, national team officials and in the national teams. Mokoena makes it know all the time that he is passionate about the growth of female players and in particular women serving at all levels of administration: district, provincial and national levels.
According to the VSA President plans are afoot to usher in the changes recommended by the Government.

ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 is yet another quality pair of speakers from ELAC. If you liked ELAC Debut B6, you will certainly love these. Even if you don’t at the moment, you will grow accustomed to them. The designer of these is already well-known. His name is Andrew Jones, and he designed your favorite KEF Q350, for example. His expertise is the high-quality but affordable speakers. He showed us just how good can speakers get while staying lower in price. To clarify, the price of ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 pair of speakers is only $350. Let’s see just what you will get in the package:
The specifications are unbeatable when compared to price, and this is certainly one of the best budget speakers today. Even though it’s quite large, it will fit on a bookshelf of your choice. Now, it might stick out just a bit, so make sure to protect it from falling. The design is beautiful and the whole outlook looks modern. The color is called black ash vinyl, and it looks just the way it sounds. The only ”bad” thing is that it feels a bit hollow when you nudge it, but in our analysis, it didn’t affect the sound.
ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 is famous for having a brushed vinyl finish on it. Although beautiful, it shows wear-and-tear pretty quickly. Especially in the corners, it feels like it starts to peel after some time. A solution can be the other design they offer – wooden finish. If you chose that one, and as per other user reviews, you will experience a lot more durability. The connectivity is all on the back, and you will find gold-plated all metal posts. They work with everything, so-called banana plugs, pins or even wires without shielding.
It’s important to know that each speaker weights around 7.5 kg, which is quite a big. As per manufacturer recommendations, you should place them so your ears are near the same height as speakers’ tweeters. Now the sound quality of ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 is on the menu. The bass went unexpectedly deep in our opinion, and it’s insanely good for the price. If you decide to hook up a tone generator, you’ll see just how good it really is. Midrange tonality was precise and, can we say, superb. In fact, when compared to it’s younger brother, ELAC Debut B6, it showed superiority!
Even though B6 was a very impressive pair of speakers by default, it outdid it in every way. Not only is the bass deeper and more defined, both midrange and treble are improved. We’ve noticed something in the specs of ELAC Uni-Fi UB5, though. It seems that because of a low sensitivity, just 85 dB at 2.83V. That means the features need a lot more power to play at loud volumes. It isn’t a deal breaker in any way, just a bit unusual. Also, it entirely depends on the amplifier you decide to use. If hooked to a more expensive and stronger amplifier, it shines brightly and sounds like a way more expensive pair of speakers.

Local Networks, Global Change: Working Locally through the UN Global Compact
July 08, 2015
"The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is the world's largest corporate responsibility movement with some 8,000 businesses employing over 50 million people in around 150 countries. [...] Encouraging as it is, 8,000 companies represents only about ten percent of truly international companies in the world and only a tiny fraction of the small and medium enterprises which provide most employment. If we are to achieve real change we need to engage a much wider range of companies."
The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is the world’s largest corporate responsibility movement with some 8,000 businesses employing over 50 million people
in around 150 countries.
Signatories to the Global Compact commit to working to embed ten principles covering human rights, working conditions, the environment and anti-corruption into their day to day business. In this they are supported by some 4,000 civil society and labour organisations around the world. Companies also commit to report openly and publicly on their progress on each of the ten principles. They can be challenged on the content of these Communications on Progress by civil society and consumers and if they fail to report they cease to be participants in the Compact.
The Global Compact had its origins in a speech in 1999 by the then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan in which he called for companies to enter a compact with the UN to put a human face on globalisation by embedding the principles of the major UN conventions on Human Rights, the Environment and working conditions into their day to day operations. Initially around 40 global companies answered the call and the initiative grew from there. It has always been a uniquely hybrid organisation, funded and led by business, but with one foot in the UN. When
the UN Convention Against Corruption was signed in 2003, a tenth principle on anti-corruption was added to the original nine principles. Every two years since the UN Global Compact has been unanimously supported by the UN General Assembly, giving it another unique characteristic as being an initiative which is global and not seen as the particular project of one or other of the different country groupings.
Another unique feature of the UNGC is the involvement from the outset of civil society and labour organisations. Kofi Annan encouraged them to support business in these efforts, realising that no one sector of society, nor governments, can address these large issues on their own.
Within the framework of the UNGC, groupings of companies have developed to work together to address issues which are of particular importance or relevance to their company or industry. So, there are platforms called “Caring for Climate” and “CEO Water Mandate” addressing issues of climate and water. There are working groups on the empowerment of women, supply chains, anti-corruption, human rights and the role of business in building a more peaceable society.
A frequently heard comment from the chief executives of leading companies is that shareholders have hitherto shown little interest in these matters. This is definitely changing. In a joint initiative by the UN Global Compact and the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), a group of investors signed the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) and set up a separate organisation. Those asset owners, managers, and investors committed to take the principles of the UNGC (and reporting by companies on environmental social and governance aspects) into account in their investment strategies. The UN PRI membership now involves some 1,400 organisations with over 50 trillion US dollars of assets under management. This will over time provide tremendous leverage and support for responsible corporate behaviour.
At the same time, the UNGC was instrumental in convening a number of business schools to embed the principles of responsible business into their teachings. There are now some 500 business schools all around the world who are committed to the Principles of Responsible Management Education. They work together on teaching methods, share case studies and examples, and work to develop intellectual input and backing to responsible business practices.
Thus, from quite a small beginning a network of mutually supportive initiatives has grown involving businesses around the world with support and understanding from investors as well as educational input. The initiatives are all voluntary, but they grow by example and by gradually becoming accepted best practice. They are also kept on track by constructive challenge from civil society organisations and labour organisations involved in the movement.
Encouraging as it is, 8,000 companies represents only about ten percent of truly international companies in the world and only a tiny fraction of the small and medium enterprises which provide most employment. If we are to achieve real change we need to engage a much wider range of companies. The UN Global Compact is therefore putting a lot of effort into the development of Local Networks in more than a hundred countries around the world.
These Local Networks bring together companies of all sizes, both national and international or global, together with civil society and labour unions in countries where these exist or to address some of the major issues of their country. It is only through such Local Networks that the smaller and purely national and local companies which provide the bulk of employment in almost every economy can become involved. Such involvement has great benefits for all. In many countries, companies have been operating responsibly for many years, and such companies provide an ideal enabler for embedding the sort of changes which are needed if we are to have
a more sustainable world. Many of these companies are private companies which have developed their brands and business relationships on the basis of trust and a commitment to the communities around them. For example, there are many such companies in India. These companies bring to the Local Networks of the UN a deep knowledge of the societies in which they operate. International and global companies can learn much from working with them.
At the same time, where international companies are members of UNGC Local Networks they bring experience of operating in international markets to the standards that consumers around the world demand. They also bring experience of capital markets and the governance models required as private family companies raise the capital needed to grow and spread their wings overseas around the world.
These Local Networks thus provide opportunities for a great deal of exchange of information. They enable the building of mutually beneficial supply chains and enable international companies to understand the local market and society better, while also enabling local companies to take perhaps the first steps overseas with a partner that they have come to know.
Because of the determinedly multi-stakeholder nature of the UN Global Compact, local civil society organisations as well as local labour unions are involved. Companies of all sizes, both national and interaction, benefit from this engagement with other parts of society. From these interactions companies can see how best to implement and apply the universal values and principles of the UNGC in a way that is sensitive to local customs. A deeper understanding of national values and culture is of enormous help to any company delivering services or
If I could change one thing, it would be engaging more local affiliates of major companies with Local Networks, supporting the national network leadership. They can learn from the practices of responsible national companies, many of which have been applying responsible business practices, developed in line with local culture. This is a two way process as national companies can also learn from the experience of global companies.
All companies benefit from the involvement of the small and medium size enterprises, providing opportunities for shared value approaches in the development of local supply chains. The discussions in a Local Network can and does also lead to alliances to address local issues in a practical way, taking into account political or cultural sensitivities. The involvement of civil society provides a source of intelligence on national issues and allow a major company to communicate much more effectively with its national customers and suppliers as well as with its own people.
All of the four areas into which the ten principles of the UNGC can be grouped—human rights, working conditions, the environment and anti-corruption—are important. However, in my work with the UNGC and Local Networks over the years I have always encouraged the Local Networks to set priorities. In which of the four areas are the challenges most urgent? Are there things which the Network can do collectively to address some of these challenges?
They could, for example, pick anti-corruption and work with the government and civil society to improve some aspect. For example, there may be issues of expected facilitating payments to government officials to obtain licences. Companies in a particular sector can unite to fight this scourge, but their efforts will be helped if a civil society organisation can make the sort of public statements which any individual company would find difficult.
There is a UN Global Compact Local Network in Bangladesh. On a visit to the Network there I asked what they saw as their priorities. One of the priorities of the local companies involved was related to the working conditions of Bangladeshi migrant workers working in the Gulf. Another collective initiative, strongly led by one company, was the training and employment of people who were handicapped in some way. There were remarkable examples of people who had been regarded as burdens on their families gaining steady employment in factories to the great benefit of families, employee, and employer. Both of these initiatives are indeed important for Bangladesh business and society.
Shortly after this, during a visit to the United Arab Emirates, I asked the same question on the priorities of the Local Network there. In that case there were also two priorities. One was the relatively inefficient use of energy generally. Interestingly, the other was also the concern of responsible companies for the working conditions of migrant workers.
Although in many cases these are of a high standard, in a weakly regulated environment there are also some very bad examples. There is clearly scope for co-operation between the Networks to see how this mutual concern for working conditions could be addressed.
The Bangladesh Network had many responsible Bangladeshi companies. There were also some international companies represented—mainly banks and service providers. If more of the many international companies sourcing apparel from Bangladeshi companies had been engaged in the Bangladesh Local Network it is probable that the safety of factory buildings in Bangladesh would have been a high priority and steps might have been taken to understand and address the issues which have led to unsafe factory buildings. It has taken the deaths of more than
a thousand workers in the collapse of the unsafe Rana Plaza building and coordinating action of unions, which are also involved in the UN Global Compact, to begin to address the issue.
A Local Network with more involvement of local affiliates of international companies is one antidote to this. Would that it had happened earlier. One can never be sure, but the outcome might have been different.
This is just one example of how a real mix of national and international companies with different backgrounds can bring diverse skills and experience together to challenge the collective prioties. An issue such as the safety of factory buildings in Bangladesh is highly complex.
It does not simply result from the nature of supply contracts, or competition, or weak labour laws. It encompasses construction methods, the reliability of electricity supply and the need for distributed stand by generators (the weight and vibration of which contributed to the collapse) as well as safety standards and government inspections. Corruption also plays a role. A UN Global Compact Network is an ideal place to bring all these issues out and discuss them in a constructive environment. It allows an international company to learn directly of some of the challenges which will be met during local operations and to develop appropriate strategies with local input. Such engagement repays the effort many times over.

Holland Lops are a popular breed of dwarf rabbits known for their cute floppy ears and compact size. Originating in the Netherlands, they have gained immense popularity worldwide due to their friendly and docile nature. Holland Lops are known for their playful and affectionate personalities, making them excellent companions for both individuals and families.
2. Key Traits and Temperament
To understand the trainability of Holland Lops, it’s important to know their key traits and temperament. These rabbits are generally intelligent, curious, and eager to learn. They thrive on human interaction and can form strong bonds with their owners. However, they can also be a bit stubborn at times, making training a bit challenging. It’s crucial to approach training with patience and positive reinforcement to ensure success.
Factors Affecting Trainability
1. Early Socialization
Early socialization plays a vital role in the trainability of Holland Lops. Exposing them to different environments, people, and animals at a young age helps them build confidence and adaptability. By familiarizing them with various stimuli, you can prevent fear-based behaviors and create a solid foundation for training.
2. Individual Personality Differences
Just like humans, each Holland Lop has its own unique personality. Some may be more eager to please and quick to learn, while others may be a bit more independent and stubborn. Understanding your rabbit’s individual personality traits will help you tailor your training approach to suit their needs and capabilities.
3. Breed-Specific Challenges
Holland Lops, like any other breed of rabbits, have certain breed-specific challenges that can affect their trainability. For example, due to their compact size, they may be more prone to dental issues or obesity. It’s important to address these challenges and ensure your rabbit’s health and well-being before embarking on training.
Establishing a Solid Foundation for Training
1. Bonding with Your Holland Lop
Building a strong bond with your Holland Lop is crucial for successful training. Spend quality time with your rabbit, gently petting and stroking them to create a sense of trust and comfort. This bond will serve as the foundation for effective communication during training sessions.
2. Creating a Positive Training Environment
Creating a positive training environment is essential for the success of your training sessions. Find a quiet and distraction-free space where you and your rabbit can focus. Use positive reinforcement techniques such as treats, praise, and petting to motivate and reward your bunny for desired behaviors.
3. Understanding Basic Rabbit Behaviors
Before diving into training techniques, it’s important to understand basic rabbit behaviors. Rabbits communicate through body language, and being able to interpret their cues will help you better understand their needs and responses during training. For example, a relaxed and thumping hind leg may indicate contentment, while a tense body posture may signal fear or discomfort.
Essential Training Techniques for Holland Lops
1. Positive Reinforcement Training
Positive reinforcement training is a highly effective technique for training Holland Lops. Rewarding desired behaviors with treats, praise, or petting helps reinforce those behaviors and encourages your rabbit to repeat them. Be consistent with rewards and use a clicker or verbal cue to mark the desired behavior.
2. Clicker Training
Clicker training is a popular method used to train rabbits, including Holland Lops. By associating the sound of a clicker with a reward, you can effectively communicate with your rabbit during training sessions. Clicker training helps to pinpoint desired behaviors and offers precise timing for reinforcement.
3. Litter Training Tips
Litter training is an essential aspect of rabbit training, and Holland Lops can be successfully trained to use a litter box. Start by placing a litter box in their enclosure and gradually introduce them to it. When your rabbit uses the litter box correctly, reward them with treats and praise. Consistency and patience are key during the litter training process.
4. Basic Obedience Commands
Teaching basic obedience commands to your Holland Lop not only enhances their behavior but also strengthens the bond between you and your rabbit. Start with simple commands like “come” or “stay,” and gradually move on to more advanced commands. Always use positive reinforcement and keep training sessions short and enjoyable.
Overcoming Challenges in Training
1. Addressing Stubbornness and Independence
Holland Lops, like many rabbits, can be stubborn and independent at times. If you encounter resistance during training, it’s important to remain patient and persistent. Break down training tasks into smaller steps, and gradually build up to the desired behavior. Remember to reward even small progress to keep your rabbit motivated.
2. Dealing with Fear and Anxiety
Some Holland Lops may exhibit fear or anxiety during training, especially if they have had negative experiences in the past. It’s crucial to create a safe and calm training environment and slowly introduce new stimuli. Offer plenty of positive reinforcement and never force your rabbit into a situation that causes them distress.
3. Handling Aggression or Destructive Behaviors
If your Holland Lop displays aggression or destructive behaviors during training, it’s important to address these issues promptly. Consult with a veterinarian or an experienced rabbit behaviorist to determine the underlying cause and develop a tailored training plan. Remember, aggressive behaviors can be a sign of fear or stress and should be addressed with care.
Advanced Training and Enrichment Activities
1. Tricks and Agility Training
Once you have mastered the basics, you can explore more advanced training techniques with your Holland Lop. Teaching them tricks like hopping through hoops or weaving through obstacles can be a fun and enriching activity for both you and your rabbit. Always ensure their safety and start with simple tasks before progressing to more complex ones.
2. Agility Equipment and DIY Ideas
Setting up an agility course for your Holland Lop can provide mental and physical stimulation while enhancing their training. You can create simple agility equipment using household items like tunnels, ramps, and platforms. Engaging in agility training can help keep your rabbit active and provide a fun bonding experience.
3. Interactive Toys and Puzzle Feeders
Incorporating interactive toys and puzzle feeders into your rabbit’s training routine can provide mental stimulation and prevent boredom. There are various toys and feeders available specifically designed for rabbits, or you can get creative and make your own using cardboard tubes, treat-filled balls, or foraging boxes. These activities can keep your Holland Lop entertained while reinforcing their training.
Maintaining Training Consistency and Progress
1. Setting Realistic Expectations
When training your Holland Lop, it’s essential to set realistic expectations. Remember that every rabbit learns at their own pace, and progress may vary. Celebrate small victories and be patient during setbacks. With consistent training and positive reinforcement, you will see progress over time.
2. Reinforcing Training over Time
Training is an ongoing process, and it’s important to reinforce what your Holland Lop has learned over time. Practice commands and behaviors regularly to maintain their training. Even after your rabbit has mastered a particular skill, occasional reinforcement sessions will help ensure they don’t forget what they’ve learned.
3. Troubleshooting Regression or Setbacks
During the training journey, it’s not uncommon to experience regression or setbacks. If your Holland Lop starts exhibiting undesired behaviors or seems to forget their training, evaluate the potential causes. It could be stress, changes in the environment, or even health issues. Address any underlying problems and be patient as you work through the training process again.
Conclusion: Unlocking the Trainability Potential of Holland Lops
In conclusion, Holland Lops are indeed trainable rabbits, but it requires patience, consistency, and understanding of their unique nature. By establishing a strong bond, creating a positive training environment, and using positive reinforcement techniques, you can unlock the trainability potential of your Holland Lop. Remember to tailor your training approach to their individual personality and address any challenges that may arise. With dedication and love, you and your Holland Lop can embark on a rewarding training journey and form a lifelong bond.

Request for Waiver of Claims Resulting From Overpayments of Military Retired Pay
B-197511: Apr 7, 1980
- Full Report:
A retired member of the Army requested reconsideration of the Claims Division denial of his request for waiver of the Government's claim against him resulting from overpayments of military retired pay. The member served in the Army continuously for 31 years and was placed on the temporary disability list for more than 4 years before returning to active duty. After his retirement he requested that the Army authorities change his retirement status to delete his recall to active duty because his physical condition had worsened and the Veterans Administration (VA) had granted him a 100 percent disability. A recomputation of his retired pay based on the changes in his record revealed that he was entitled to $165 less retired pay per month than he had been receiving under his original retired pay computation. As a result, the member was in debt to the Government in the amount of $4,480.74. Legislation requires that VA compensation be setoff against military retired pay. Because the VA did not report fluctuations in the amount of his disability pay to the Army, the member incurred a further debt of $205. The request for waiver was denied because it was not filed within the 3-year period prescribed by the waiver law. GAO found that the member became obligated to refund the $4,480.74 in overpayments to the Government because of his request for a change in his Army discharge records. As to the debt resulting from adjustments of the member's VA compensation, GAO held that since the member knew that he was receiving overpayments, it would not be against equity and good conscience to require that he repay this amount. Accordingly, the Claims Division action was sustained.

“When we lose awareness of and do not meditate on the existence of suffering in all things, we can easily be pushed around by passions and desires for worldly things, increasingly destroying our lives in the pursuit of these desires. Only by being aware of suffering can we find its cause, confront it directly, and eliminate it.”
To see people as they are (this is real love) we must first see ourselves as we are. Whatever condition. This is living presence. Old. Young. Sad. Happy. Hurt. Grieving. Lost. Hopeful. Proud. To see ourselves and to reflect back acceptance. Without condition. Unconditional. To see a person (to make it personal) instead of an object to shape (I object that you are a in this condition. Please change on my terms). Only then can we look at another and reflect back that personal love. (I see you and I love you right now. I understand. I stand with you.) This tells the other that there is no need to worry. This clears the mind and clears the way. This open doors. Isn’t this the love of Jesus?
This moves the world in a new direction, one step and one person at a time. Love is personal. How can we continue to object to that?
“Don’t look for peace. Don’t look for any other state than the one you are in now; otherwise, you will set up inner conflict and unconscious resistance. Forgive yourself for not being peace. The moment you completely accept your non-peace, your non-peace becomes transmuted into peace. Anything you accept fully will get you there, will take you into peace. This is the miracle of surrender.”
“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

The Haags Gemeentearchief (the Hague City Council Archive ) celebrated it’s 125th by placing many large billboards of photographs around the city.
All of them are photos of various points in the city taken between 20 and 150 years ago… and all are situated as close to the spot as possible (and where practical) to where the original photos were taken, so that viewer of the billboard can see both the past and present views.
I took photos of many of them whilst they were on view.
I am standing taking these photos on a four-way intersection. As per usual with Dutch streets, streets often change names at intersections. In this case each of the branches of the four-way intersection sports a different name.
If you are looking towards Tram Number 3 then the street you see will be Arnold Spoelplein, the same street behind you on the other side of the intersection then changes name to Lisztstraat.
If you have Arnold Spoelplein on your left side and Lisztstraat on your right, then the road in front of you (pointing in the direction of Laan Van Meerdervoort) will be Aaltje Noordewierstraat and behind you is then Tramstraat (upon which ironically there are no tram lines LOL).
Thus the four streets leading away from this one spot each have different names .. but in general, Tramstraat leads more to the district called Loosduinen and Aaltje Noordewierstraat leads to a district called Waldeck .
So, Now that I have you acquainted with the area, we can proceed to the billboard photo.
The Text on the billboard says: “Gezicht vanaf de verffabriek Premier op een deel van de toekomstige wijk Waldeck. Foto: Dienst Stadsontwikkeling en Volkshuisvesting, maat 1949.”
Translation: View from the “Premier” paint factory towards a part of the future neighbourhood Waldeck. Photo: Urban Development and Housing Department , March 1949.
As you can see, this area has changed vastly since 1949. Long gone are the market gardens that backed onto what used to be the outer edge of the city.
Today the view includes the Loosduinen terminus of The Hague’s Tram Line 3, apartments blocks, general housing and a former post office (building by the empty tram halt with orange signs). As per recent city council environmental efforts, the grasses by the tram stop have not been mown in the deliberate attempt to encourage bees, insects and butterflies.
Just think… probably seventy to eighty years ago the caterpillar ancestors of these butterflies had probably been munching on lettuce and cabbage leaves in the market gardens.

Labour has voted to support the SNP's spending plans for the year ahead after constructive talks on how to mitigate the impact of the so-called bedroom tax.
The main opposition party, which has not backed the SNP's previous budgets, said it would back the general principles of the Budget Bill for 2014-15 as it passed its first hurdle at Holyrood.
The SNP has enough seats at Holyrood to push the Bill through on its own but the decision indicates political differences are being set aside on the issue.
Loading article content
Iain Gray, the Labour finance spokesman, said: "On that basis we are willing to support the Budget Bill moving forward this evening, in spite of the weaknesses we believe it embodies, so it can come back enhanced by measures and funds which effectively consign the bedroom tax to history in Scotland, right here and right now."
The Scottish Government has already pledged to spend £68 million in each of the next two years to mitigate welfare reforms introduced by the UK Government, as well as £20 million in each year to limit the impact of the controversial "bedroom tax".
The Tory-Lib Dem policy, called a tax by opponents, cuts the amount of benefit people can get if they are deemed to have a spare room.
Labour wants the SNP to spend £50 million a year - described as a small fraction of the overall budget. The party is also pushing forward with its own Bill designed to protect social housing tenants.
Mr Gray criticised other areas of the SNP budget.
"There is, in this budget, no discernible long-term plan or strategy to create jobs and growth, to reduce inequality to eradicate poverty, to address climate change or move definitively to preventative spending," he said.
Finance Secretary John Swinney opened the debate on the principles of his spending plan, the last before the independence referendum.
"On September 18 the people of Scotland will have the opportunity to vote on our country's future," he told MSPs.
"Today I have set out the principles of the Budget Bill. It is a budget based on this Government's vision of a nation founded on the principle of fairness and prosperity, and one which demonstrates the benefits to Scotland of decisions being taken in Scotland by those who care most about Scotland: the people who live and work here."
The budget was promoted as focusing on key infrastructure, such as hospitals and schools, while tackling poverty.
It also confirms plans for £59 million over two years to provide more free childcare places, taking the total additional money for childcare over that period to about £250 million.
Funding of £55 million over two years for free school meals for youngsters in primaries one to three is set out in the Bill as part of a £114 million package of help for young people.
The budget will also provide funds to expand a rates relief scheme for small businesses, as well as to maintain the council tax freeze.
Conservative finance spokesman Gavin Brown said his party will not support the overall package.
"This is not a budget for the economy," he said.
"They don't even pretend to talk a good game about the economy any more, it is not front and centre. This is all about the referendum."
Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie said the Scottish Government is getting it right on nursery education and free school meals.
"The budget, even so, will still not be perfect," he said.
"It may be good enough for us to vote for the budget - we will have to see how the discussions develop in the coming weeks."
Green Party co-leader Patrick Harvie said extending free childcare and free school meals are "important steps in the right direction", but he opposes other elements.
"The unsustainable transport projects which the Government, with the support of most opposition parties, has pushed through, we have criticised completely," he said.
"The shift in the budget in the last few years from revenue to capital is going to fund those projects that we don't support.
"One of the consequences of this shift is there is less money there for public sector pay."
He welcomed moves to address the bedroom tax, urging Mr Swinney to work with opposition parties to find a solution.
The Bill was backed at the first of three stages by 90 votes to 13 with two abstentions.
