Jumeirah Restaurants inks licence agreement to open eight restaurants in Moscow
Jumeirah Restaurants, a division of the Dubai-based hotel group, said on Wednesday it has signed a licence agreement with Ingeo Limited to open eight restaurants in Moscow.
A first Noodle House is expected to open in the Russian capital in 2012 and will be followed by seven other restaurants across the city, a statement said.
The Noodle House has already proven to be a success with 17 restaurants open in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Riyadh, Kuwait, Cairo, Limassol, Doha, and Lahore.
The Noodle House is inspired by the food and nightlife of South East Asian cities such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Bangkok and Jakarta.
Dilip Awtani, managing director of Ingeo Limited, Phil Broad, managing director of Jumeirah Restaurants and Karan Awtani, CEO of Ingeo Limited, signed the agreement to expand the brand into Russia.
With this opening, Jumeirah Restaurants are consolidating their ambitious growth plans to penetrate new markets.
The signing follows the recent openings of the Noodle House in Kuwait, Dubai and Pakistan with plans to open several more in the next few years, the statement added.
The Noodle House was the first restaurant brand to be developed and is the flagship of Jumeirah Restaurants with licence agreements already signed in 11 countries globally.
Other concepts include Sana Bonta, Urbano, AllFreshCo, Rice + Spice and The Flaming Revolution.
In May, Jumeirah Group, the parent group, said that it was mulling its first property in Russia in a bid to tap increasing demand for luxury travel in the country.
Russia is one the biggest growth markets for visitors to Jumeirah’s five-star luxury hotels but the state-backed hotelier is keen to capitalise on the domestic market, said executive chairman Gerard Lawless.
Jumeirah said that negotiations were ongoing with potential partners in Russia to secure a property.
This used to be a great restaurant but then the portions were downsized so much they they have become high cost and low value. Russians will never settle for such small portions in my view.
One has closed in Kuwait. Food was good but not enough customers. Poor location that was difficult for most people to get to.

Disney fans may finally receive a third installment of The Princess Diaries film series!
Sixteen years ago, Anne Hathaway took on the role of Princess Mia Thermopolis in Disney’s The Princess Diaries. Now, there is a possibility that Hathaway will once again play the princess, who we last saw being crowned Queen of Genovia, alongside her on-screen grandmother Julie Andrews.
Meg Cabot, whose books the films are based on, shared with Entertainment Weekly that if a third film were to be made, it would be a tribute to director Garry Marshall who passed away last summer.
However, Cabot was not able to share all the details. “I would love to sit and talk about [it], but I can’t. I’m not allowed. But it’s really more following the movie than the books,” said Cabot.
Mandy Moore, who starred in the first movie, told Cosmopolitan that she would definitely be interested in taking part of a third film.”If I’m going to be involved, I would be down for a cameo—maybe she could make amends with Mia and apologize for being a bully when she was younger.”
In an interview with BuzzFeed, Julie Andrews stated that she would be happy to reprise her role. “I think we might do it in honor of [Marshall]. Annie had an idea that she wanted to pursue about it, and I’m all for it, so if she’d like to…”

Mopar, the service, parts and customer-care brand of FCA US LLC, has teamed up with Dana to introduce new Jeep® Performance Parts (JPP) axles for the all-new Jeep Wrangler. “JPP Ultimate Dana 44™ AdvanTEK®” axles are on display in the Mopar brand’s exhibit at the 2018 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show.
The “JPP Ultimate Dana 44™ AdvanTEK®” axles have also been installed in the Nacho Jeep Wrangler concept, on display in the Mopar SEMA Show exhibit. The collaboration between Mopar and Dana, a continuation of a 70-year-plus relationship, delivers Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) quality to current-generation Jeep Wrangler owners.
“Performance axles for the all-new Jeep Wrangler are the latest additions to our extensive line of parts and accessories for hardcore off-roaders,” said Steve Beahm, Head of Parts & Service (Mopar) and Passenger Car Brands, FCA – North America. “From lift kits to beadlock wheels to LED lights and now performance axles, the Mopar brand has trail enthusiasts covered with more than 200 Jeep Performance Parts.”
Made in the USA, “JPP Ultimate Dana 44™ AdvanTEK®” axles are built strong so hardcore Jeep Wrangler off-roaders can go where others fear to tread. High-strength features include AdvanTEK gear technology that reduces gear set packaging with more strength and durability, allowing for a condensed carrier and improving ground clearance.
Chromoly 4340 axle shafts, thicker quarter-inch steel bracket mounts, thicker 9.5 mm tubes and upgraded 1410 U-Joints also increase trail durability. A nodular iron differential cover adds to the rugged appearance while providing extra ribbing for strength and increasing overall rigidity.
The high-clearance carrier design adds an additional half-inch of ground clearance, and an expanded range of gear ratios (4.56, 4.88, 5.13 and 5.38) helps accommodate for a variety of tire sizes. The direct bolt-in axle assembly allows use of OEM components and provides virtual “plug and play.” The axle assembly includes electronic differential lockers already installed.
“JPP Ultimate Dana 44™ AdvanTEK®” axles will be available in November 2018. For more information, visit www.mopar.com.

Whether it be a full ‘fro, lovely locs, magnetic coils, or anything in between, the beauty of Black hair is a source of pride — and rightfully so. In ancient Africa, hair and hairstyling were considered sacred and spiritual. In many tribes, such as the Yoruba, hairstyles like braids were meant to send messages to the Gods.
Lamentably, many Black and minority women face discrimination against our natural tresses. Known for its dedication to natural beauty and body positivity, Dove is stepping in to challenge bigotry and make changes.
The Detriments of Hair Discrimination In The Workforce
Whilst the natural movement welcomed a swarm of hair influencers, styles, and brands, it highlighted long-standing prejudices and stigmas associated with textured hair. For far too long, biases against natural hairstyles have interrupted the progress of Black professionals, particularly women. Deemed unprofessional, natural Black hairstyles, such as braids, afros, and locks, have been quietly shunned, forcing Black professionals to straighten their natural locks to fit into non-Black work environments.
According to the 2023 CROWN study, Black women’s hair is 2.5 times more likely to be deemed unprofessional. The study also shows that Black women are 54% more likely to feel they must wear their hair straight for a successful job interview. Similarly, Metro UK reports that 72% of Black people between 18 and 24 have experienced hair-related microaggressions.This kind of discrimination affects mental and physical health. Studies show those who endured higher amounts of racial microaggressions suffered from increased levels of anxiety, depression, and behavioural issues.
Dove and LinkedIn Partner to Stop Hair Discrimination
On a mission to change the way the professional world views Black hair, Dove and LinkedIn have teamed up with the Crown Act to stop hair discrimination at its root.
The initiative provides all LinkedIn users free access to 10 workplace diversity and inclusion courses. The programme also focuses on uplifting Black voices on platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram, featuring the hashtags #BlackHairIsProfessional and #PasstheCROWN, respectively.
The movement is already gaining traction, with Black women sharing stories and experiences across both platforms.
Cemona Martin (@mrs_se_moh_nuh) writes on Instagram, “For a long time, every time I had to interview for a job… the most important thing was WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MY HAIR??? Whether I have blue braids or an afro puff bun, that’s how I will interview. My hair doesn’t define me or my job capabilities.”
Ria-Jane Lincoln tells a similar story on LinkedIn of straightening and slicking back her hair for the workplace. Recently, she’s learned to embrace her natural locks. “Thank you, LinkedIn and Dove. I LOVE my curls, and I will never pat them flat again.”
BYP Peer-to-Peer Support
A support group is crucial to end hair discrimination at work, as demonstrated by Dove initiative. Connecting with over 100K Black professionals can help navigate challenges in the workforce and understand experiences. Learn more about joining or starting a BY-Peer group here.
Understanding the Black Experience
BYP offers a CPD-accredited online course on the Black experience at work, including microaggressions and biases. Share your course completion certificate on LinkedIn to encourage others to develop awareness of Black experience at work. It takes just 2-3 hours, take a look and sign up for the course now.

Jordan Calm For Now, But New Storms Loom (Amman)
Despite the relative calm this week, Jordanian observers said the riots had exposed a deep-rooted public dissatisfaction with the Jordanian political establishment. Adding to the anger over price increases, they say, is a growing resentment over official corruption, as ordinary citizens believe they are footing the bill for government cronyism.
"The crisis is no longer an economic issue or a security issue, but a political issue that strikes to the core of citizens' grievances and lack of trust in the state," said Maher Abu Tayer, political observer and columnist for Jordan's daily newspaper ad-Dustour. While the economic crisis is real, the government lacks credibility when it raises prices at a time when "most of the public believes officials are stealing millions from the treasury," Abu Tayer said.
Jordanian officials also note what some see as a shift in the target of public anger. Until last week, protesters rarely criticized Jordan's monarch for the country's political and economic ills. But demonstrators in recent days have called for the king's ouster, and some burned his portrait. In an Amman rally by labor and professional associations on Monday, protesters compared the monarch to ousted Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak and urged him to "return to the Hijaz," a reference to the Hashemite monarchy's Saudi Arabian lineage.
Still, protest organizers acknowledged that they do not expect to see downtown Amman transformed into Cairo's Tahrir Square anytime soon. Even at their height, the demonstrations in the capital last week drew only a few thousand people, a far cry from the massive uprisings that toppled governments in Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen. Likewise, most political parties also have distanced themselves from calls for regime change, urging instead democratic reforms that keep the Hashemite monarchy in place, said Abu Tayer, the newspaper columnist.
"You simply cannot compare the current crisis in Jordan to the uprisings in Egypt or Tunisia," he said.
But he added: "That doesn't mean that the danger isn't there."

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's formal swearing-in for a new six-year term scheduled for 10 January can be postponed if he is unable to attend due to his struggle to recover from cancer surgery, his vice president said.
Nicolas Maduro's comments were the clearest yet that Venezuela's government is preparing to delay the swearing-in while avoiding naming a replacement or calling a new election in the South American OPEC nation.
But Mr Maduro, waving a copy of the constitution during an interview with state TV, said there was no problem if Chavez was sworn in at a later date by the nation's top court.
"The formality of his swearing-in can be resolved in the Supreme Court," he said.

Effect of sugars and Maillard reaction products on polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activity in food
Nicoli, M.; Elizalde, B.; Pitotti, A.L.rici, C.
Journal of food biochemistry 15(3): 169-184
The effect of glucose, fructose and sucrose aqueous solutions on polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) activity was studied. Solutions with high concentrations of sugars showed a slight inhibiting effect on PPO while an activation was observed for POD. Glucose solutions, tested after sufficient heat treatments, showed an inhibiting action only on PPO activity. Maillard reaction products, obtained by heating a glucose/glycine solution, caused an unexpectedly strong inhibiting effect on both enzymes. The inhibition became more evident with increasing heating times of the glucose/glycine solution, reducing the activity of PPO and POD nearly to zero. Thus, the Maillard reaction products, already known for their antioxidant properties, were also shown to have a strong inhibiting effect on enzymatic browning.

Captured by a secret society known as the Faith and mentally controlled with a powerful spell, ancient demoness Lilith now lives as a young woman with no memory of her agless past. However, the terrifying plague unleashed by a rampaging monster, the Demonicos, forces one human to recruit her mystical power known as the Darklight to fight this terrifying beast...
|Release Date||:||January 1, 2004|
|Genres||:||Action, Drama, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Thriller|
|Casts||:||Shiri Appleby, Richard Burgi, John de Lancie, David Hewlett, Ross Manarchy|
|Plot Keywords||:||mystic, secret society, good vs evil, female protagonist, demon|
From the beginning of the world, the evil first woman, Lilith (Shiri Appleby), was expelled from Paradise, becoming an immortal powerful being. A secret society, The Faith, was created to chase and destroy Lilith, who loses her memory after a battle. In the present days, when the ambitious and wicked Anders Raeborne (David Hewlett) uses an experiment trying to become immortal, he transforms himself in the evil Demonic, a powerful dark demon that transmits a red plague with his bite and tongue. The traumatized Faith's chief agent William Shaw (Richard Burgi) is assigned by their leader Prefect (Ross Manarchy) to bring the recollection and train Lilith to face and destroy Demoniac and bring his head to The Faith to develop an antidote.
"Darklight" seems to be a pilot of a television series, and it is much underrated in IMDb. The characters recall the mutants in "X-Men", and the appearance of Lilith, played by the gorgeous Shiri Appleby, slightly resembles Mystic. The beginning of this film is a little confused, but sooner it becomes engaging, with a good story and special effects for a TV movie. There is a mistake in the sequence when Lilith is thrown by Demonic onto a car, since the car blows a fraction of second before she reaches its roof. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Darklight, o Poder da Escuridão" ("Darklight, the Power of the Darkness")

And it's all distilled down into nuggets of practical advice and genuinely doable action plans. Every parent of a child with ADHD should read this book."--Peg Dawson, EdD, coauthor of Smart but Scattered "Thank you, Dr. Nigg!

It is so nice to have a vision for a bright future alongside realistic, meaningful actions we can take right now. Getting Ahead of ADHD gives me the confidence and tools I need to make wise decisions."--Marie B., Oregon "Extraordinary! This book offers an efficient summary that brings you up to speed on the science of ADHD.

This essay The Bell Jar has a total of 1199 words and 7 pages.
The Bell Jar
The Bell Jar
People\'s lives are shaped through their
success and failure in their personal relationships with each other. The
author Sylvia Plath demonstrates this in the novel, The Bell Jar. This
is the direct result of the loss of support from a loved one, the lack
of support and encouragement, and lack of self confidence and insecurity
in Esther\'s life in the The Bell Jar. It was shaped through her success
and failures in her personal relationships between others and herself.
Through life, we often lose someone we
loved and cared deeply for and supported us through life. This is demonstrated
by the loss of a loved one when Esther\'s father died when she was nine.
"My German speaking father, dead since I was nine came from some manic-depressive
hamlet in the Prussia." (Sylvia Plath page 27.) Esther\'s father\'s death
had showed that she was in need of a father figure for love, support and
to act as a model for her life. Esther grew up with only the one influence
of a parent, her mother.
Often times the loss of a friendship can
be a great loss of support and confidence within our lives because we can
lose them forever. This is demonstrated when Buddy Willard Esther\'s boyfriend
break up. "He told me that his annual fall chest x-ray showed he had caught
tuberculosis...in the Adirondacks" (Sylvia Plath pg. 58.) Buddy and Esther
break up due to the fact that he was not very honest with her in many ways.
He did not have the courage to admit to a certain side of his character
and not only that Buddy was diagnosed with an illness but he had other
relationships aside from Esther. Therefore Esther experienced another loss
of a loved one.
Within life, we gain the support from someone
that helps us get through life but often times leaves us when we need them
most. This is proven when Doreen; Esthers co-worker at the modeling magazine
begins to lose contact with Esther through life "Doreen is dissolving...
none of them mean anything anymore" (Sylvia Plath pg.17) Doreen begins
to lose contact with Esther throughout life, just when Doreen had opened
new doors to her. Esther was coming through a very difficult time in life,
when Doreen started drifting away from Esther. Once again, Esther experienced
the loss and support of a great friend and advocate.
Ones\' life is made up by framework. You
gather friends and folks together and in this framework it clarifies your
identity. You articulate and express opinions. You articulate and express
opinions. In framework and talk, you develop behavior patterns and priorities
and define framework in terms and languages. Esther did all this in her
life. But then she forgot who she was. She forgot her framework of reference
and she talks about success and failures and despair.
Individuals, need encouragement and support
from loves ones to guide one through life. This is seen in the lack of
support and encouragement displayed when Esther\'s mother fails to support
and encourage Esther with her aspirations. No matter what Esther had wanted
to do with her life, her Mother had always wanted her to learn the skills
of shorthand because she would always have that skill in her life and also
that was the one thing her Mother had experienced in life. As a result,
her Mother failed to enhance Esther with her aspirations that she wanted
We need the sustenance and assurance from
not only loved ones in life, but also from others. This is demonstrated
when Jay Cee, Esther\'s present boss asked Esther what she wanted to do
with her life. Esther did not have any solid idea as to what she wanted
to do with her life. "You\'ll never get anywhere like that." (Sylvia Plath
page 27) Esther did not know what she especially wanted with her life.
Jay Cee stated to Esther that not having an idea of what she wants, will
not get her very far because Esther is lacking a few skills. Consequently,
Esther lacked the support and helpfulness from her friend and colleague.
Throughout life one also needs the motivation
and provisions from those that influence one\'s lives. This is demonstrated
by Esther\'s Class Dean who upheld Esther through her high school years.
"I had a way of persuading...interesting experiment." (Sylvia Plath page
29.) Her Class Dean supported Esther in her way of thinking and her thrive
for learning which in turn, she was awarded for her learning by receiving
many scholarships. Therefore, Esther had the support of her Class Dean

Just as many other industries have felt the positive impacts of technology in their daily operations, so it does affect the operations of clearing and forwarding processes in the Nigerian ports. Due to the gradual growth of the economy, the use of ports has increased considerably and this has directly affected the volume of goods being deposited at the ports.
This gradual increase in the volume of goods has resulted in the congestion of the ports over time. This situation makes the process of clearing and forwarding tedious and time-consuming. Although with the help of clearing and forwarding agents and companies in Nigeria such as Vagmon e-Grup & Logistics Ltd, you can have your goods cleared from the ports. Vagmon e-Grup & Logistics Ltd is a leading clearing and forwarding company in Nigeria with offices in Lagos and Port Harcourt, Rivers state.

- Reduction in delivery time
Before the use of technology on clearing and forwarding in Nigeria, it is not news that getting goods to the final consumers from ports usually take more time than it should. This is also as a result of congestion of ports and the time taken to sort out different goods for the allocated recipient.

Study also shows that there is a close link between information systems and service delivery time because it allows for clearing and processing and any other verification to be done on time.
- Increase in Trade Volume
Higher trade volumes are expected sincethe clearing and forwarding processes of many of the goods already in ports will be done on time. Large volumes of data and information are processed in reduced time with the use of technological applications.
The efficiencyof clearing and forwarding in Nigeria depends on how well the information technology are handled by the management of the ports.Better handling and use of technology will definitely lead to increase in the volume of trade.
- Better Problem Detection and Analysis
Technological tools easily detect issues in not only clearing and forwarding processes but also in other data related sections of operations of the company. Through information systems, problems are detected by tracking and continuous data evaluation. Once problemsarise, it is analyzed and probable solutions are easily considered.

Recently, something has taken over your grocery store shelves that you may not even be aware of. What is it you ask? Two words: augmented reality. To the everyday consumer this may seem like it is not a big deal, but to the marketing world this is something much larger. Augmented reality refers to a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view. In simpler terms, augmented reality allows a flat 1 dimensional object to come to life, and become interactive. Check out this video below to see augmented reality applications in action!
There are several key things that are important to note about augmented reality. Augmented reality requires two components: 1) the piece of art or product and 2) an app that you will use to view the augmented reality version of this piece of art. These two components work with one another to create the 4D image you will see.
Capri Sun and Kraft have teamed up with the Kid’s Choice Awards to create an augmented reality temporary tattoo that will literally jump off of your skin. This collaboration has made it so that every consumer can have a chance to dabble in the world of augmented reality. All you have to do is apply the temporary tattoo, download the app, and start playing! You are able to see the cat dance and move around right on your arm!
For a limited time, Capri Sun boxes include a temporary tattoo of a cat that was ready to play. All you need to do is apply the tattoo to your skin as you would any other temporary tattoo. Once you have applied the tattoo open the app (you can find this information on the back of the temporary tattoo), hold your phone over the tattoo as if you are going to take a photo and allow the app to register the art. Once the app has registered the art, the tattoo will come to life. You can then interact with your tattoo freely.
For Kraft, this was a huge opportunity to hit home with their consumers. Children are encouraged to enter a sweepstakes for the chance to win tickets to the Kid’s Choice Awards. Kraft had to take into account all of the moving parts of this campaign and move quickly to launch the campaign with perfect timing; they were able to successfully execute this marketing campaign and plan to do it again in the future.
You can find Capri Sun on a grocery store shelf near you! Have you had any experience with augmented reality temporary tattoos? Tell us about it in the comments below.

ITHACA, N.Y. –– Officer Barry Banfield of the Ithaca Police Department was promoted to lieutenant on Tuesday.
“I’m honored that I’ve been given this opportunity. I can appreciate that policing is harder and more complicated than ever before and the officers on the front line are bearing the brunt of these challenges,” said Banfield. “I see my job as being vital to helping my fellow officers to keep being their best while making sure IPD continues to be a progressive department focused on giving Ithaca the highest level of service we can.”
He was sworn in as a lieutenant in a ceremony at the Ithaca Police Department headquarters.
As lieutenant, the biggest day to day change for Officer Banfield will be that he will now oversee and lead the entire overnight patrol shift.
“I think what I’m looking forward to most with the promotion is being able to have a larger role in making the department get better and better for the officers working here and for the community we serve,” Banfield said.

A Ranchi court on Tuesday heard a criminal case filed against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the promise made to deposit Rs 15 lakh in the account of every Indian.
Filed by Advocate Harendra Kumar Singh, the complaint claims that the unfulfilled promise to deposit Rs 15 lakh amounts to the offence of cheating under Section 315 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and a violation of the Representation of People's Act.
Singh has alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had promised Rs 15 lakh in its manifesto for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. However, the manifesto makes no such promise.
Appearing before Judicial Magistrate Ajay Kumar Guria, Singh had reportedly said,
"Why was the promise on CAA delivered but the promise on crediting Rs 15 lakh in each person's account, a promise made in BJP manifesto, not honoured?"
The court has now adjourned the matter for March 2.
On the last date of hearing on Saturday, the court had asked Singh how this matter falls under its jurisdiction and why did he not file a case earlier, considering that the alleged promise was made in 2013-14.
During his speech before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Modi had promised to return black money that was stashed abroad and use the same for the benefit of the poor.
In a later interview, Shah stated that there was no promise to deposit Rs. 15 lakh in the account of every Indian after recovering the black money.

This unit provides training and consultation about the Minnesota Vulnerable Adults Act. Identifying maltreatment in vulnerable adults can be challenging because the adult may not be able to communicate what happened or may be considered an unreliable witness. For example, an elderly man with dementia has a bruise on his arm. Is the bruise the result of caregiver abuse or did he accidentally bump into the wall?
There are three basic kinds of maltreatment:
• Abuse - physical, emotional or sexual
• Neglect - caregiver neglect or self neglect
• Financial exploitation
Reporting Maltreatment of Vulnerable Adults
Online Mandated Reporter Training
County Phone Directory for Reporting Vulnerable Adult Maltreatment
Adult Protection Data
Adult Protection Data Reports
Eighty-seven counties have their own adult protection units which are responsible for investigating county complaints and providing protective services. State agencies investigate complaints in regulated industries, such as nursing facilities or group homes. Law enforcement units coordinate with state and local vulnerable adult units to investigate maltreatment reports made and investigated.
In addition, Adult Protective Services keeps an aggregate statewide database on maltreatment reports made and investigated.
The Adult Protective Services unit is a consultant for Minnesota's Vulnerable Adult Act [Minnesota Statute Section 626.557 (1995)]. In addition to educating the public about maltreatment of vulnerable adults, Adult Protective Services consults with local agencies, including counties and law enforcement agencies.
The Adult Protection Manual provides policy and procedures for county staff as required in MS626.557 Vulnerable Adult Act and MN Rule 9555.7100-9555.7700. The Manual is being updated and is unavailable at this time.
Adult Protection Executive Summary 2-page fact sheet
Adult Protection fact sheet
The Minnesota Vulnerable Adult Act outlines the role of Adult Protective Services as providing:
Public agencies with responsibilities under the statute are required to receive training on their responsibilities specifically in the areas of investigation of vulnerable adult maltreatment and operation of a Common Entry Point (CEP). A CEP is the county unit responsible for receiving oral reports of suspected maltreatment twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. It is designated by each county board. The county directory is a list of all CEP phone numbers for the State of Minnesota. It is updated regularly. The Continuing Care Administration Training Calendar is a list of all the current training opportunities. Please consult this calendar for all of your training needs.
Provide general and case-specific assistance to citizens, providers, local and state agencies on the Vulnerable Adult Act and issues arising under it.
3. Data Collection:
Prior to 2008, a copy of the suspected maltreatment report (DHS 3243), findings (DHS 2494) and substantiated perpetrator reporting form (DHS 5883) were sent to the Department of Human Services – Adult Protection Unit for data collection purposes. In anticipation of the need for a centralized automated data collection system for CEP data, Minnesota Statute, section 626.557 subdivision 13 (g) authorized that the CEP would log reports into a database once this database became available. Effective April 1, 2008, the centralized database became available to all 87 counties. The Social Service Information System (SSIS) Vulnerable Adult (VA) Common Entry Point (CEP) collects all adult maltreatment reports. An updated Tip Sheet will assist counties with frequently asked questions associated with the SSIS VA-CEP system.
SSIS Role Clarification – April 1, 2010 memo
4. Vulnerable Adult Maltreatment Review Panel:
According to Minnesota Statute, section 626.557 subdivision on 9d, any victim or interested party may request the lead agency to reconsider their final disposition. If the lead agency fails to respond to the request or upholds the determination, the victim or interested party may request a review by the Vulnerable Adult Maltreatment Review Panel under MN Statute 256.021. Each year the panel shall submit a report to the legislature.

Mechanical Pencil 3D Model 3D model
A mechanical pencil (US English) or a propelling pencil (UK English) is a pencil with a replaceable and mechanically extendable solid pigment core called a lead /ˈlɛd/. The lead, often made of graphite, is not bonded to the outer casing, and can be mechanically extended as its point is worn away. Other names include automatic pencil, drafting pencil, technical pencil, click pencil, clutch pencil, leadholder, pen pencil (Indian English), and lead pencil (Bangladeshi English).
Mechanical pencils are used to provide lines of constant width without sharpening in technical drawing and in writing quick neat writing. They have also been used for fine-art drawing. They are also popular with students, since they do not have to be sharpened. Mechanical pencils were first used in the 18th century, with many designs patented in the 19th and 20th centuries.

From the Wall Street Journal:
The U.S. housing market has broken out of a deep slump, and prices are shooting up faster than anyone thought possible a year ago. For many homeowners, that is a cause for celebration.
But the speed at which prices are rising is prompting murmurs of concern that the Federal Reserve’s campaign to reduce interest rates could be giving the housing market a sugar high.
Prices of existing homes rose 10% in February nationally from a year ago. They have been rising during the seasonally slow winter months—and they show signs of jumping further as the spring buying season gets under way. What’s going on?

Ripple (XRP) is in bearish mode and was down 1.93% as seen overnight. Moreover, Ripple has recently freed up over 1 billion XRP tokens coming from two separate escrow wallets. Currently, the crypto trades at $0.38 on the biggest spot exchanges.
Ripple has evidently locked over 55% of XRP’s total supply in escrows way back 2017. Analysts believe that its bearish sentiment or weakness is relevant to Bitcoin’s failure to surpass the $24,000 mark as opposed to the controversial unclasping of new tokens that happened recently.
In effect, Ripple is trying to restore most of the tokens that they’re sending to escrow. Additionally, unlocking of the new tokens happen every first day of the month and has no effect whatsoever on XRP price. In spite

Keeper Mark Birighitti backed his skipper Nigel Boogaard after the Jets defender was red carded for a second week in a row in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Brisbane Roar.
The 24-year-old Jets keeper, who had an eye-catching game between the sticks, conceded the send off in the 66th minute changed the game at Suncorp.
Roar equalised from the spot following Boogaard's foul on Henrique and with the man advantage Brisbane powered home to win.
"It was a solid performance. I thought we were in it for most of the game," a disappointed Birighitti told Fox Sports.
"The red card hurt us. But we support 'Boogs'' decision there."
Birighitti had a fabulous game for Scott Miller's side, who sit in eighth spot and will miss the finals for the sixth season in a row.
But for the most part of this clash, Newcastle looked like they could've gotten something out of the game.
It was to a degree a reflection of their topsy-turvy season, as Birighitti noted.
"It's frustrating as the boys put in a good performance. I'm sure we're all disappointed we couldn't come away with the result.
"We've been in most of the games this year. And a little lapse in concentration can kill us sometimes. But it is what it is."
The Jets now have a final chance to salvage some pride with an F3 derby this weekend in Gosford.
"We now have Central Coast next week so let's hope we can finish off the season on a high," added the Perth-born keeper.

text: LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Bolivians are settling in for a tense, and possibly long, vote count as results trickle in from Sunday’s high-stakes presidential election meant to put an end to political turmoil following last year’s annulled ballot that resulted in leftist President Evo Morales’ resignation. Six hours after polls closed, barely 3% of all ballot boxes had been counted. Adding to intrigue, publication of two exit polls has been withheld, with private pollsters saying they don’t trust their own survey results. Bolivians have long been accustomed to quick preliminary results in presidential elections. But after allegations of fraud and violent protests marred last year’s ballot, electoral authorities are appealing for patience, reminding voters that they have up to five days to declare a winner.


Callahan Tunnel reopens after major renovation
3-month project finished ahead of schedule
The Callahan Tunnel opened early Monday morning, two days ahead of schedule.
The 52-year-old tunnel closed shortly after Christmas for a multi-million dollar renovation project.
The floor had badly deteriorated and after a wall panel fell in 2012, and many more were discovered to be defective.
Because the main thruway to East Boston and Logan International Airport carries 30,000 cars a day, many drivers and area businesses were concerned a three month closure would hurt.
"The closure was the key. By closing the tunnel, we were able to work around the clock," said Frank DePaola, Massachusetts Department of Transportation administrator.
Since the tunnel opened two days before the deadline, contractors get a bonus for work completed early.
Drivers will see new curbing and new pavement, but not everything is 100 percent done.
"We'll be in the tunnel on nights and weekends to do restoration," Secretary of Transportation Richard Davey said.


Our Honeymoon in the Cook Islands December 20-January 4
After our direct flight from Los Angeles to Roratonga, Cook Islands, we met Diana and Kit from The Backpackers Handbook who are Aitutaki veterans. Following their recommendations, we spent an amazing day on the gorgeous lagoon with Teking Tours. The tour is the BEST thing on the island.We loved it so much we went AGAIN with Kirsten and Stuart from New Zeland and there were 3 other couples out with Teking again. He varies the tour if you have already done it once so you snorkel in 4 new locations. The views, the lunch, the entire day was amazing. After seven years working onboard for Princess Cruises, it takes a lot to impress me on a snorkel and lagoon tour. This is one of the best in all the seven seas!
Another highlight was the village dancing and “telethon” for the holidays, one village dances in all the other villages to raise money for town repairs. More Cook Islanders live in New Zealand than on the islands and they all come home for the holidays.
This dream destination was a perfect honeymoon. We took in New Year’s Eve at Sails Beach Club at Muri Beach complete with Fireworks over the water! Happy New Year! We hope all your dreams come true.
We enjoyed meeting Kirsten and Stuart and his great idea to always bring Kirsten flowers!
