First-time buyers to benefit from 'generous' new mortgage grant
First-time buyers will get financial help from the Government in a new scheme to be announced in the Budget.
Homebuyers of new houses will benefit from a tax refund based scheme.
The measure is aimed at helping buyers currently struggling to get on the ladder due to Central Bank lending restrictions.
The new first-time buyers grant will be "very generous", according to Government figures involved in the preparation of the Budget.

However, it will not be similar to the British scheme which sees the State take an equity share of the house.
The Help-To-Buy scheme will involve upfront tax repayments to buyers. The precise details and the cost are still being worked out ahead of October's budget.
Finance Minister Michael Noonan is also wary about ensuring the scheme will not interfere with either the supply or demand for housing.
Mr Coveney has pointed out this means 40pc of people are locked out of the mortgage market.
The new scheme will form part of the Government's new housing action plan.
Housing Minister Simon Coveney will publish the plan later this week.
The plan is in response to the housing crisis and was promised within the first 100 days of the new Government.
One of the opening chapters of the plan is understood to be dedicated entirely to the homeless crisis, with specific details on how it is intended to tackle the crisis in the short and long term.
Among the measures contained in the plan is a new law to protect tenants when their accommodation is sold.
The move follows the case of tenants in Tyrrelstown being evicted when their complex was being sold to a vulture fund.
The high-profile case of more than 100 families in Cruise Park Drive who faced losing their homes sparked demands for greater protections for tenants.
The new so-called 'Tyrrelstown Amendment' will mean anyone selling more than 20 housing units in a complex will have to provide security of tenure to tenants and also won't be able to dramatically jack up rents.
The view within Government is most normal institutional investors are buying housing developments for a long-term return. Only investors who want to sell on and get a quick return, known as flipping, are interested in replacing the existing tenants.
The housing strategy will include a special emphasis on increasing the supply of "starter homes" for first-time buyers in Dublin.
Current prices mean no house in the Dublin area could be bought for less than €300,000.
The report will cover every aspect of the housing market, including building, buying, renting and financing, and will particularly focus on homelessness.
The Government has signalled it will make no attempt to interfere in a Central Bank review of its tough rules on deposits for homebuyers, which have been controversial.
Mr Coveney has said he has no power to tell the Central Bank what to do. Instead, the plan aims to increase supply and assist first-time buyers.
The plan will also contain a new move to speed up house-building nationwide and tackle the country's housing crisis.
A new Special Delivery Unit will be set up in the Department of Housing, with project managers appointed to drive specific house building projects from start to finish. The minister is also considering further bypassing councils by fast-tracking big building projects to An Bórd Pleanála, to speed up decisions and minimise delays through procedures and objections.
This process is similar to the strategic infrastructure projects, like roads and bridges, which go straight to the planning board for a slimmed-down assessment process.
Mr Coveney has vowed to deliver 25,000 houses per year - well ahead of the target set out in the Programme for Government.
A mix of initiatives would be deployed to boost building of starter homes. 27,000 planning permissions are currently granted in Dublin but only 4,400 of those are being used.
A special infrastructure fund will be set up to speed up projects like roads, bridges or power supplies, which may be delaying building.


Coming off another high-scoring loss Friday night, the Nationals sit among the National League’s elite when it comes to offense.
The Nats are hitting .277, 3rd in the league and exceeded only by the high-payroll Mets and Dodgers at .291.
Of course, the LA numbers will skew down over the next seven weeks as Manny Ramirez waits out his suspension through July 3; so we could make an argument that right now our team is 2nd-best in the league.
Washington has scored the 6th-most runs and has hit the 3rd-most home runs with 42, behind only the Brewers with 47, Rockies 46 and Phillies 45.
One thing the Nats don’t do much is steal bases with only 13 in 21 attempts, 3rd-lowest in the league. They have speed, but not a bona fide base stealer on the team right now. But that’s nit-picking in an otherwise prolific offense.
However, this isn’t the weekend slow-pitch beer league; it’s the major leagues where you can’t outslug your opponents every game. You have to pitch and catch the ball.
The Nationals’ staff ERA is the highest in the NL at 5.54 runs per game, and the only team even close is the Phillies at 5.33. But they catch the ball, leading the league in defensive percentage, making only 11 errors in their first 33 games.
The Nats have made 35 errors, the most in baseball, and we have found that when you give your opponent more than three outs in any inning, there will be a price to be paid.
But back to pitching, where Washington has given up 212 runs, by far the most in the NL and 36 more than the Nats have scored, slightly more than 1 run per game on the negative side.
Going into the weekend, the Yankees had given up the same number of runs as the Nats, with Cleveland and Baltimore giving up the most in baseball. So, next weekend’s interleague series with the Orioles could be a very high-scoring one.
With a young starting staff and struggling veteran bullpen, it’s time for patience, but it’s hard for fans paying major league prices to keep waiting and waiting. I can guarantee one thing: when our young guns figure out how to pitch late into games, like Shairon Martis is doing, we’ll be onto something special with a young club that can hammer the ball and pitch effectively.
When the latter happens, the defense will improve and we’ll be posting a bunch of Curly W’s!


The ‘tractor parade’ led by the protesting farmers on the occasion of Republic Day symbolises how these historic national events can also be observed without directly adhering to the State-sponsored official celebrations and rituals. But this is not the first time the idea of protest has got entangled with the Republic Day events. Much before the farmers, the Babri Masjid Movement Coordination Committee had triggered a national debate in 1987 when it made a call to mount its protest on the symbolism of the day.
The farmers’ parade, to quote Swaraj India president Yogendra Yadav, aims to celebrate the Gana (the people), and not the Tantra (government), so as to realise the true meaning of Ganatantra (the Republic).
This symbolic attempt to regain the alternative meanings of Ganatantra has a unique postcolonial story. The call given by the Babri Masjid Movement Coordination Committee (BMMCC) — a coalition of Muslim organisations to restore the status of Babri Masjid — has been one of the most curious episodes of this alternative story of Ganatantra. The BMMCC called upon “the Muslim community not to participate in or associate themselves with the observance of the Republic Day on 26 January 1987, except those individuals who are on official duty”. (Muslim India, Vol. 50)

An All India Conference on Babri Masjid was organised in Delhi on 21-22 December 1986.
This conference issued an overarching document — Delhi Declaration — that came out with a four-point radical agenda: (a) the non-observance of the Republic Day call; (b) an all-India Bandh on 1 February 1987; (c) a rally on 30 March 1987; and if all these fail, (d) a direct march to Ayodhya. (Muslim India, 50, p. 59-60)
There was an inherent confusion in this declaration. The idea of non-participation in this appeal was not very clear. It could have two possible meanings. First, the non-participation of Muslims could possibly be understood as a kind of ‘deliberate action’ to register their grievances. Second, the non-participation could also be perceived as an act of boycott or rejection. In this sense, it might be seen as an act to challenge the authority of the State.

Boycott as separatism
The mainstream media, particularly the English print media, further increased this confusion. In most of the Delhi-based newspapers, the original text of the Delhi Declaration or its broad overview were not published. Instead, the political programme, particularly the radical measures adopted by the BMMCC, was given adequate coverage. Interestingly, the non-participation call was described as the boycott of Republic Day.
The news of a ‘boycott call’ provoked all the major political forces in India. The call was criticised, condemned and rejected primarily on the ground of ‘India’s unity and integrity’. The sympathisers of the Babri Masjid agitation also disapproved of this move and requested the BMMCC to withdraw it. The Congress (I), BJP, CPI, and VHP officially condemned this call. The Janata Party and the CPI(M) asked the BMMCC to review its decisions and requested it to abandon its agitational programme. The CPI (ML-Santosh Rana) was the only political front that supported the BMMCC and asked others to join this call. (Muslim India 50, pp. 93-94)
Also read: Two readings of Ayodhya verdict: legalising Hindutva or separating site from structure
Boycott or non-observance?
The most interesting condemnation of this ‘boycott call’ came from the ‘concerned citizens’: writers, intellectuals, journalists, artists, who prefer to call themselves ‘non-political’. The statement noted:
“on these occasions…our people should not be drawn into any controversy of partisan politics, sectarian polemics or conflict with government and administration…any attempt to abridge their importance or vitiate their significance is politically unwise, legally impermissible, nationally injurious and morally reprehensible’. (Muslim India, 50, pp.63-64)
This lucidly written statement does not differentiate between the ‘partisan politics’ of any kind and the ‘conflict with government and administration’. It implies that any kind of disagreement as well as conflict with the government and administration on these occasions could not be tolerated. In this sense, this statement seems to suggest that any attempt to challenge the given dominant State version of India’s heritage and its political legacy are not acceptable.
The BMMCC also contributed to the debate. It came out with an equally well-articulated argument. In a statement titled Call not against State but against Government and violator of Constitution issued on 11 January 1987, the BMMCC clarified the distinction between the term ‘boycott’ and ‘non-observance’. The statement noted:
“a boycott call would imply obstruction, resistance and mobilization, while non-participation or non-association is a voluntary act of sacrifice and self-imposed deprivation…The call of non-participation is not against the State but against the government; it is no illegal or un-constitutional in any sense of the term; it is neither unethical nor anti-national; it is not an act of treason or rebellion or revolt; it does not constitute any disrespect to the Constitution or to the Republic. The call is against those elements, who violate the Constitution and against a government, which fails to defend and protect the Constitution”. (Muslim India 50, p. 61)
This statement offered a ‘democratic’ explanation to the radical strategy adopted by the coalition. It also suggested a creative re-reading of the constitutional provisions. By adhering to the inherent democratic-constitutional, an attempt was made to question the actual functioning of the government. This intellectual explanation did not have any impact. The media kept on describing the call as a ‘boycott of Republic Day’.
The sympathisers of the Babri Masjid agitation started pressuring the BMMCC to withdraw the call. Even on 22 January 1987, then-President Giani Zail Singh made a formal appeal to the BMMCC to participate in the official celebration of the Republic Day. (Muslim India 51, p. 141)
By that time, the BMMCC had achieved its objective, at least symbolically. It had influenced the political system to recognise the ‘restoration of the Babri Masjid’ as a national issue. Thus, finally, on 25 January 1987, just one day before the Republic Day, the call was withdrawn.
The non-observance and/or the boycott call of 1987 cannot be compared with the farmers’ parade of 2021. However, one thing is common that links these two episodes — how to commemorate the Republic Day, politically. These two agitations remind us that the dominant official imagination of India, its past and its authentic people can be challenged, opposed and even rejected while celebrating the political values of our Constitution.
The author is Associate Professor, CSDS, New Delhi. Views are personal.
No matter how many books you might have studied but once you study Quran, your brain is clouded by only Islam & Muslims. These so called intellectuals cannot see beyond their religion & co-religionists. Such a brainwashed lot, always high on religion & communalism.
So apt when they say Mulla ki daud Masjid tak
ISLAMIC intellectuals also consider JIHAD against HINDUS their main purpose. Instead of focussing on backwardness and religious fanaticism within their own community. They support it rather than condemn .
Unless laws are brought to control population and reduce fanaticism I see dangerous days ahead in INDIA.
Little wonder that Muslims in India are now in political dumps. Such practice started in 1987 and continued until the end of UPA2 regime hasn’t helped them. All the secular parties have either abandoned them, or the Muslims don’t trust them. Now, they have to look up to Owaisis, who create lot of racket, but do not yet matter.
don’t worry. soon you have to add Kashi and Mathura also. Enough of explanation

This game was created for the ue4 Winter Jam 2018. The theme of the jam was “On Thin Ice”. With that in mind, I created a competitive 2-Player game built around this idea. My goal for this game was to create a fun experience that had a high level of polish.
Programming for this game was created with Blueprints. Objects and characters were molded in 3DSmax. Materials were created in Unreal. Text was designed in photoshop.
This is an Art Game created for a class. This game was shown at a pop-up exhibit at CalTech. The game explores the evolution of game, going from 2D sprites on console, to low poly on computer, to highpoly, to AR to VR. Programming was done with Unreal and Unity. I created all aspects of the game with the exception of 3 3D character models and animations which came from Mixamo and Deviant Art.
This game was created for the Unreal MegaJam 2017. As a solo developer, I created all aspects of the game. The theme for this game was “However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light”.
With the theme in mind, I created a tower defense game set in the vastness of space, where the goal is to defend the light supply ship. This can be done by using “light” as your currency to place turrets to shoot enemy ships or place mines on small asteroids to increase the rate of your supply.
I created this game using Unreal Engine 4.16, 3DsMax, Photoshop, and Spacescape. The music was generated by AmperMusic.
This game was created for the Unreal Summer Game Jam 2017. In this game based on the theme of Blessing in Disguise, what doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger. The player must balance damaging themselves to gain strength with staying alive.
This game was created in the Unreal Engine. I provided the concept, programming, art, aspects of the level design, and music.
The theme this year was waves. This could be interpreted in a number of ways. My team chose to use waves both literally and structurally. Not only does the frog have to avoid the waves in the game, but those waves are generated by use of a sine wave. The game was constructed with the use of Blueprint in Unreal Engine and the art was created in Photoshop CC 2017.
Particle Portal created in Houdini.
Particle Effect created using Photoshop, 3Ds Max, and Unreal Engine4
Cloak created in Marvelous Designer
Concept Art for Cardgame
Rotating World with Sun Flare made in Adobe After Effects CC.

“‘Research unclear on how daycare affects child development”is a must-read column by Andrea Mrozek, manager of research and communications at the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada, in today’s Montreal Gazette, succinctly explaining a lot of data from a recently released study. Mrozek concludes by making an important point:
The childcare research field does not lend itself to unequivocal statements, or easy guilt-free policy solutions.
Advocates of daycare selectively read studies to point to data that supports the notion that institutional care is just fine for children, that there are no consequences to dropping off one’s kids with strangers for the day, and that parents, especially mothers, should have no qualms in doing so. Unfortunately for parents who face difficult decisions about child care arrangements, the data doesn’t support such a clear-cut position.

Design and Development
The Antonov An-2 is the biggest single engine bi-plane (old aircraft with two different placed wings) ever manufactured. Russia, China and Poland built thousands of it. The aircraft is mainly used for agricultural purposes and its slow speed makes it ideal to work in uneven grazed land. The initial manufacturers were State Factory in Kiev, Ukrainian SSR, where more than 5000 models were manufactured. The Antonov An 2 was built to subside the Polikarpov Po-2, that was a Soviet Ministry Department plane used a lot for agriculture and utility roles. The small plane is powered by Shvetsov Ash-62, 750 Kw (1000 HP) engine and it has a payload of 2140 kg. It has a wing span of 18.2 (Upper) and 14.2 (Lower) and can carry around 12 passengers. The length of the airplane is 12.4 m by 4.1 m (height).

Picture 4: upload.wikimedia.org
With a maximum speed of 258 km/h the plane can reach 700 ft. in a minute. It is therefore very ideal in agricultural purposes for spraying pesticides on any terrain. The small popular plane is also used for sky-diving as it can carry passengers. The Antonov An-2 is suitable for the developing countries as they are cheap to buy and can carry cargo to airstrips for budget air liners. Many ex-Aeroflot An 2s are used as zonal airlines in Africa, South-East Asia and parts of America. It has a huge demand in United States and Western Europe but the plane is not affiliated there for commercial usage as it does not have the authorization from aviation control of these countries. The An-2 is further used in North Korea to deliver special army troops over enemy territories.

The Antonov An 2 was used in Korean War as a fighter combat. In 1991 the Croatian Warfare used few domestic An 2s to drop grenades over besieged areas. In 2013 the An 2 dubbed version An 2-100 was fitted with a 3 blade propeller and a 1500 shp Motor Sich MS-14 engine that would run on kerosene. Antonov Design has so far received many orders of upgrading used Antonov An 2 to upscale the model from Azerbaijan, Cuba and Russia.

The Antonov An-2 made its first flight in 1947. Since then it is the leading small plane model that is still manufactured and used. The plane is still under progress in engine re-modeling in China as the Shijiazhuang Y-5 and it held the Guinness World Record for the longest production line of any aircraft that ran across 45 years till the Lockheed C- 130 Hercules took over recently. Many private operators are still using this plane despite the decrease in the availability of Avgas (aviation fuel), as the CIS fell apart.

We all know that a bohemian style complete with flower crowns, fringe anything, and flowy attire has been pretty on trend for a while. Because of this, it makes sense that couples often want to incorporate this natural, chill style into their big day while elevating their design plan with chic elements and details. What better place to do this than at a Virginia winery wedding? Today’s wedding inspiration embodies the boho chic aesthetic by bringing boho components, such as the bride’s flower crown and the groom’s amazing pompadour hair style, and mixing them with chic and classy details, such as the lush bridal bouquet and the beautiful place settings.
You know we’re suckers for unique design elements and fantastic cocktails and this shoot had them both! The ceremony backdrop incorporated hanging florals and and dream catchers into it’s folding display. Not only was it super cute, but is also something that any couple can recreate for their own DC area wedding day. After the ceremony, the wall can be transported easily to be featured behind them at their dinner table, or as a backdrop for a photobooth! The yummy cocktail we were mentioning earlier served as the signature drink and was a white wine sangria that had us dreaming of summertime! Not only did the fruit add punches of color to the pastel drink, but it was also incredibly functional. Frozen fruit served as “ice cubes” that wouldn’t water down the beverage. So clever! Thank you to Jalapeno Photography for sharing this Boho Virginia Winery Wedding with us today.

Hydrazine Market: Challenges and Opportunities Report 2017 - 2027
Hydrazine also finds application in refining and purification processes, especially in the Asia Pacific region. The processes that come under the ambit of refining include purification and as a reducing agent in the treatment of boiler water. Effluent treatment is another area of application where hydrazine is used. Another area where hydrazine is used is in the recovery of valuable metals such as gold, platinum and silver in their refining and purification process. Use of hydrazine in the recovery of such valuable metals leads to early recovery and a high purity. Waste water treatment is another area where hydrazine is utilised in order to remove contaminants and heavy metals and this often leads to higher productivity.
Request For Report Sample@ https://www.futuremarketinsights.com/reports/sample/rep-gb-2814
Key regions of hydrazine production and consumption
In terms of production of hydrazine, Europe occupies the pole position, followed by Asia Pacific and North America. In Europe, Germany is the primary producer of hydrazine followed by France, Italy and UK. In Europe, hydrazine is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry and in the process of water treatment. In the North America region, U.S is the primary producer of hydrazine, while in Asia Pacific, China is the primary producer. The consumption of hydrazine is the largest in the European market, followed by North America, which is a major market for hydrazine. China has the largest consumption of hydrazine in the Asia Pacific region, followed by India and Japan. In Latin America, the primary use of hydrazine is in the agriculture industry and in water treatment and the market for hydrazine is poised to grow in this region as well. Similarly, the same trend is likely to be witnessed in the Middle East, where hydrazine is mainly used in the polymer industry.
Drivers and restraints impacting the global hydrazine market
A growing demand for hydrazine and its by-products due to the rapid development of industries such as pharmaceuticals as well as its increasing use in agriculture and industrial applications will lead to the increasing consumption of hydrazine. Rapid economic development in the Asia Pacific region, especially in China and India will lead to the blooming of the hydrazine market in these regions. In addition to this, the boom of the manufacturing sector in China is also slated to impact the global hydrazine market in a positive manner. However, there is a flipside to the use of hydrazine. Due to the exposure to hydrazine, adverse effects such as irritation of eyes, nose and throat may occur and may also lead to conditions of nausea and headaches. In extreme cases, acute exposure to hydrazine may lead to damage to the kidney, liver and the central nervous system. Such health concerns regarding the use of hydrazine have the potential to act as a dampener to the global hydrazine market.
Key players operating in the global hydrazine market
Bayer, Arkema, and Lansdowne are some of the key producers of hydrazine.

How Using Fibre Can Increase Health
According to a study published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine around 20 percent of Americans need more fiber in their diets. Among the many benefits of eating more fibre is the decreased chance of developing diabetes and heart disease. According to study author Ronette Lategan-Potgieter, a dietitian and assistant professor of nutrition at Stetson University, eating more fiber is essential for overall health.
Of the many benefits of fibre one of the most important is its ability to reduce cholesterol. It does this by keeping bile acids out of the arteries. It also improves the function of the bowel and adds bulk to the food we eat. It also reduces the risk for stroke and heart disease. A Harvard study has shown that those who consume more than 25g daily are at an increased risk of developing either. You should consume more vegetables, which are abundant in fibre, along whole grains and beans.
Fibre is present in food items. There are two kinds of fiber which are soluble and non-soluble. Soluble fiber forms a gel within the intestine , which slows down the absorption of fats or cholesterol. It also serves as an energy source for gut bacteria that are friendly that produce substances that are beneficial for heart health. Consuming more fibre is an effective method to improve your overall health. While it might not appear appealing, studies have shown that insoluble fibre can reduce cholesterol.
Lowers blood sugar
Increase your intake of soluble fibre to lower blood sugar levels. These fibres are found in many legumes, fruits and vegetables. They are not broken into smaller pieces during digestion, which means they assist in making the body process food more slowly. These fibres can slow the digestion of glucose and reduce blood sugar levels. Consuming more soluble fibre can help lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
Fiber does not cause blood sugar to rise unlike other carbohydrates. This prevents your body’s absorption of excess fat and cholesterol. The result is lower cholesterol and triglycerides. Additionally, fiber can help to improve the health of your gut and reduce the risk of colon cancer. These benefits make fiber an important element of a healthy diet. It also improves your overall health by decreasing blood sugar levels.
Fibre is a dietary carbohydrate in plant foods, and is difficult for the body to digest. Fibre is not easily taken in by the body, that can cause adverse effects such as digestive discomfort and flatulence. It also stops the rapid rise in blood insulin levels, which are associated with overweight and a higher risk of developing diabetes. You can reduce your chance of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or overall mortality by increasing your intake of fibre.
Fibre is also beneficial for other reasons including a decreased weight and better health. Diets high in fibre can lower the risk of breast cancer in women. It also aids in regulating the digestive system and encourages weight loss. However high-fibre breakfast foods may not be accompanied by enough fluid that could cause constipation. Constipation is a frequent issue in adults and can be caused by breakfast cereals with high levels of fibre. Many adults don’t eat enough fiber, despite its many benefits. Research has shown that low-fibre diets can lead to heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer.
Fiber is an essential component of an optimum diet. But how much should you eat? The National Academy of Medicine defines fiber as diet-based carbohydrates, lignans, insoluble and soluble cellulose, as well as hemicellulose. All of these can affect the health of people. Certain fibers are soluble and can be fermented, which is great for digestion. Others are indigestible. Soluble fiber can be found in cereal grains, whereas insoluble fiber is found in the cell walls of many vegetables and fruits.
Protein-rich diets can lead to a greater risk of gastrointestinal bloating researchers believe that a change in the microbiome could be the reason. A study of people who consumed high-fiber diets revealed that the presence of black bloating was decreased by replacing high-fiber protein with higher-fiber carbohydrates. While further research is required to determine the precise reason, this substitution could be a beneficial strategy to reduce the likelihood of bloating.
In the event of consumption, fibre can decrease gas and increase health. It should be introduced gradually to give the gut microflora to adjust. Three studies found that participants’ bodies slowly adapted to beans and gas levels returned to normal after three to four weeks. Beans should be placed in a water bath for a couple of hours before cooking to prevent excessive gas production. Avoid foods high in fiber, such as coffee and soda as they are usually high in sugar.
High-fibre diets may delay gas transit and reduce the amount of boluses that are passed from the rectum. Some people may feel gaseous after eating high-fibre-rich foods. However it is typically due to colonic bacterial fermentation of gases. The recommended intake of fibre ranges between 20 and 35 grams per day. Fibre intake also has many other benefits.
Reduces calorie intake
One of the latest research findings on diets is that eating more fibre aids in weight loss. In the study, participants were divided into four groups based on their diet composition. One group included people with a normal BMI and high fiber intake, while the other two groups included those with low fiber intake. Participants who reached the Adequate Intake of fiber lost less calories than those who did not.
High-fiber foods are filling and more filling. They also consume more time to eat. This results in a lower calories per serving. In addition, they can prolong life. High-fiber foods like cereals have been shown to lower the risk of developing all types of cancers as well as cardiovascular disease. Therefore, while eating more fiber may reduce calories however, you can still enjoy delicious, nutritious food while decreasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.

Thanks for the update on my Thor Synergy 24 SK with a Diesel Generator. Changing the Flirefly Multiplex Status Display RV to the different Thor Synergy Floorplan Configurations (24SS, 24 MB, 24TT ,...) with a Diesel Generator did not fix the problem. The results are the same no matter what floor layout you select.
If Pin 11 on the J10 connector on the G12 Firefly Multiplex Panel is responsible for starting and stopping the Diesel Generator only, then why is the Firefly Multiplex board reporting erroneous data for the Generator Hours which should be 31 hours and not “0” and why is the Firefly Multiplex board not showing a status of “Generator Running” on the display instead of “Generator Stopped”. Firefly has a way to test this scenario on their software in their lab so I would definitely ask them to run through this simulation to see if they get the same results.
I realize that the 12 Volt Blue wire (Pin 6 of the J13 Connector ) which is responsible for Generator Status and Hours is a LP Connector only but how does the Firefly Multiplex Board keep track of this hours and generator status with the Diesel Generator if there is no physical connection with only one red wire ( Pin 11 on the J10 connector) to turn the diesel generator on and off. If this is true, then the problem lies with Firefly and not Onan Diesel Generator or Thor Motorcoach Company.
We know as a result of La Mesa RV in Sanford Florida troubleshooting techniques (Technician Brett) that if we provide Pin 6 of the J13 Connector on the G12 Panel with a 12 Volt signal after the Diesel Generator turns on the System works as expected with the generator running beyond 60 seconds until the AGS condition is met (Temp or Battery Voltage or Max Run Time) and the Firefly Multiplex board shows a status of “Generator Running” on the display and the Hour Clock on the Firefly Multiplex Display appears to update properly.


Compliance audit is an independent assessment of whether a given subject matter is in compliance with applicable authorities identified as criteria.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 57 of the Public Finance (Control and Audit) Act, the Principal Auditor has powers to undertake compliance audits. The GAO on behalf of the Principal Auditor assess whether activities, financial transactions and information are, in all material respect, in compliance with the authorities, which govern government entities.
The GAO looks for material deviations or a departure from established criteria, which could be based on laws and regulations, principles of sound financial management or propriety.
Compliance audit plays an important role in ensuring that the principles of transparency, accountability and good governance are actually met.
Compliance auditing promotes transparency by providing reliable reports as to whether public funds have been utilised in line with the applicable authorities. It promotes accountability by reporting deviations from, and breaches of, authorities. This information makes it possible to take corrective action and to hold public officials accountable for their activities. Compliance audit promotes good governance by identifying weaknesses and deviations from laws and regulations and also by assessing the propriety of officials.
Compliance auditing is concerned with regularity (adherence to formal criteria such as relevant laws, regulations and agreements) and with propriety (observance of the general principles governing sound financial management and the conduct of public officials).

Confronting a sudden job loss is a consistently awful experience. However, it’s challenging to adapt to the impacts of joblessness. It is impossible to explore the choppy waters of occupation looking for amidst the COVID-19 recession. It’s more complicated than any time in recent memory to remain fixed on self-care, make professional career plans, and keep optimistic hope.
Dislodged laborers should perceive that their feeling of prosperity works out positively past their present work status. They have been trapped in turbulence that they didn’t make. Also, they need to value that this is a period for reflection, inventive critical thinking, and flexibility.
Lost your employment? Do these three things.
In a new survey, career experts shared three significant strides to take if you’re managing long-haul joblessness. The following is a summary, and alongside passages from that interview and a discussion, the researchers had with him.
1. Standardize the circumstance by perceiving that it’s not your shortcoming: The way that you’re feeling somewhat (most likely a great deal) bewildered and befuddled? That is ordinary. Anyone would feel that sort of response in the circumstance.
2. Be prepared, and keep a feeling of expectation for the chances that will come. We need positive thinking. What’s more, we frequently have negative imagination, which is the concern and the sadness – envisioning the most noticeably terrible. However, we should begin zeroing in on the positive thinking and that creative side of us, that better approach for taking a gander at things in an alternate setting.
Deal with yourself as an individual:
- Attend to your monetary security.
- Get a survival job, a part-time job, or whatever you need to do.
- Look for chances to additional your schooling/abilities.
- Focus on upgrading your skill and educate yourself further, arranging something else.
- Establish links with positive individuals. Check out you. Who are the ones who are empowering you?
- Actively take part locally. We need not pull out, however, to push ahead toward individuals.
Find the importance and reason in your life. We should do useful things.
Maintain structure by setting up an everyday schedule. Something that working gives is a proper plan. It discloses to you when you will eat and breaks, and it provides you with a request for your day. With joblessness, you need to do it for yourself.
Keeping up Mental Health During Pandemic
This rollercoaster of feelings can now and again be crippling. Luckily, there are different ways to keep up your psychological well-being during this tough spot.
Permit yourself an opportunity to grieve
While sadness is ordinarily connected with death, losing employment can likewise be wrecking and horrible. Grieving your work is expected, concerning a considerable lot of us. It again implies the departure of a specific personality and way of life. A particularly emotional change may leave you feeling tragic, furious, discouraged, or even numb. This may also be joined by a feeling of stun given how quickly the Covid pandemic is developing and affecting our lives surprisingly. It’s essential to recognize these sentiments, as opposed to fleeing from them. While numerous individuals think feeling less is an indication of proceeding onward, suppressing these feelings can permit them to infest our lives further as it were. Acknowledge that feeling tragic, baffled, frightened, and enraged is ordinary. Perceiving these emotions as such can permit you to adapt to them appropriately, mend, and proceed onward.
Focus on what you can handle
Tolerating that the Covid pandemic and your joblessness are out of your control can feel alarming. In case you’re feeling overpowered, attempt instead zeroing in on what you can handle. From the start, this might be seemingly insignificant details like your demeanor towards the circumstance. While you might not have any effect hands on the market, you can handle how you respond and deal with your feelings. If funds are your most significant concern, consider focus on your spending where you can scale back. Investigate state-level and government assets and consider applying for joblessness benefits.
Set cutoff points on your pursuit of employment
Although you might be restless to find another job, investing all your energy in your employment pursuit can be unpleasant and discouraging. While making a timetable for yourself, take a stab at saving certain hours of the day for your applications. This will propel you to be extra beneficial during this time window and help you feel more present during different activities.
While social distancing and stay-at-home requests are set up, you don’t need to go through this extreme period alone. Many employees are battling with the circumstance and know precisely the thing you are going through. Even though you might be restricted in actual contact, there are a lot of approaches to interface with loved ones basically to get support. You can likewise keep organizing through locales like LinkedIn and online professional development and networks for your specific field or vocation. These are incredible approaches to land thoughts for your position look and get your name out there.
Be adaptable to new opportunities.
Laborers may likewise need to discover approaches to widen their ranges of abilities, regardless of whether that is by taking on new training or gaining some new practical knowledge. The entirety of this could set them up for progress once the flare-up dies down.
We realize that a few organizations are profiting by expanded interest while the changes are crushing others. The individuals who can make a profession rotate or make the most of new freedoms will admission the best. Others may select to look for training or abilities upgrade during this season of the gigantic test.
However, this may likewise incorporate rehearsing resourcefulness with the expertise sets you as of now have.
There are openings if individuals can transform their range of abilities into a side hustle or discover something different from recruiting bosses.
To conclude, online research underscores the significant effects COVID-19 could have on families’ capacity to meet their fundamental necessities, like buying food supplies, medical services, and paying their home loan, and for private companies to remain above water. Families and independent companies with low money cushions are generally powerless against the economic effects of COVID-19. Endeavors to give alleviation should focus on the weakest areas of our general public and economy.

The military junta of Myanmar (respected partners and allies of Kremlin) with the help of a Soviet fighter jet launched an airstrike on the venue of the concert on the 62nd anniversary of the establishment of the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), which fights for the rights of the ethnic group of the same name. The number of dead has not yet been officially announced. Western mass media reports about 60 victims.
Then, when someone from this country kills russists, they will be shocked, “For what don’t they like us?”
Did you know that a fairly decent number of Colombians and Spaniards are fighting on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine? According to them, they came to take revenge on Russian communists. The Colombians came to take revenge for the fact that the Kremlin armed and trained the FARS for many years — the military wing of the Colombian Communist Party, which has been terrorizing the peaceful population of this country for decades.
The Spaniards came to take revenge for the war of the Soviets against Spain in the 1930s, when the Soviets stole all the gold reserves of Spain, and also tricked about 3,000 Spanish children, most of whom were either shot or rotted in concentration camps.
The sooner Idel-Ural splits, the less people on the planet will want to take revenge, against us including, because while the republics are part of the empire, they are “Russian” for the whole world. And the Russians are enemies.

So, I found adult, egg laying quail for $3 per bird. So I got 14 quail. 7 Texas A&M quail (5 females, 2 males), and seven of the Pharaoh quail (with speckles), another 5 females and 2 males.
Usually, I keep the quails in cages into their own cages. However, this time, I decided to place the quail under the rabbits.
These 7 quail scratch around under the fallen hay, eating poops and worms. They enjoy burying under the hay, pecking, and eating to their hearts content. I have never seen quail so happy.
It is going to make egg collection pretty brutal… But, maybe they will hatch their own!!!

What an awesome Torah portion Parsha 21 was! So much to cover, including the "golden calf" issue. You would think that after Israel had personally witnessed YHWH's deliverance of His people from Egypt's Pharoah, and after seeing YHWH part the Red Sea so they could cross over onto dry land, and after He was supernaturally feeding them manna, etc., they would know better than to forge a golden calf!
One would definitely think that Aaron, the High Priest would know better....
But what happened? While Moshe was receiving the Ten Commandments, the community was down below, making and worshiping a "golden calf." What's absolutely mind-boggling is that YHWH never chastised or killed Aaron, even after Aaron made excuses for his own ungodly behavior (Ex. 32:22-24)!
Aaron blaming the people for causing him to stumble reminds us of another person who attempted to place blame on someone other than himself ... Adam! Remember, Adam said, "The woman you gave to be with me - she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate." (Genesis 3:12)
Typical human nature, isn't it?
Note, however, in Exodus 32:33, ADONAI answered Moshe, "Those who have sinned against me are the ones I will blot out of my book." This is reiterated in the Book of Revelation:
Revelation 20: 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was hurled into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21: 27 Nothing impure may enter it, nor anyone who does shameful things or lies; the only ones who may enter are those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
In other words, we are ALL forgiven through the Blood of the Lamb, but you're still responsible for your own destiny. Once we have the Holy Spirit residing within, we should NOT continue to act in a carnal manner, for there is no Sin Sacrifice for continued, deliberate sinning!
What a contrast to today where most seem to think that they can purposely sin and still be forgiven .....
Numbers 15: 30 "'But an individual who does something wrong intentionally, whether a citizen or a foreigner, is blaspheming ADONAI. That person will be cut off from his people.
Hebrews 6: 4. But they who have once descended to immersion and have tasted the gift from heaven and have received the Ruach haKodesh 5. and have tasted the good Word of Elohim and the power of the world to come, 6. cannot again sin and a second time be renewed to repentance; or a second time execute him on a stake and insult the Son of Elohim.
7. For the earth that drinks the rain which comes often upon it and produces the herb that is of use to those for whom it is cultivated, receives a blessing from Elohim. 8. But if it should put forth thorns and briers, it would be discarded and be approaching closely to a curse, and its end would be a conflagration. (AENT)
NOTE: Huge contrast between Aramaic and Greek. The Greek reads: "once having been enlightened..." This "enlightening" seems logical until we look at Aramaic: "But they who have once descended to immersion..."
The difference is acute, since baptism is clearly a subject being introduced just two verses earlier. The reason for the Greek redaction to "enlightenment" may well have been due to early Gnostic influence that stressed Mashiyach's knowledge over his actual power and incarnation of Deity. See also Hebrews 10:32.
Hebrews 10: 26 For if we deliberately continue to sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but only the terrifying prospect of Judgment, or raging fire that will consume the enemies. (CJB)
The above scripture is not referring to those unclean bondages that dwell in our flesh but to the conscious choices believers make. It refers not to our unintentional sins but to those we pursue knowingly and willingly.
2 Peter 2: 19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption; for a person is slave to whatever has defeated him. 20 Indeed, if they have once escaped the pollutions of the world through knowing our Lord and Deliverer, Yeshua the Messiah, and then have again become entangled and defeated by them, their latter condition has become worse than their former. 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the Way of righteousness than, fully knowing, to turn from the holy command delivered to them. (CJB)

Garden Checklist for May 2010
White rain lilies serve as edging in the Welch garden
- Consider white rain lilies (Zephyranthes candida) as a natural border in the flower bed. They are almost indestructible in zone 8 conditions.
- Now is a good time to create summer containers exhibiting succulents such as echeverias, sedums or house leeks (sempervivums). The larger rosettes of the echeverias and sempervivums may be situated in the container with edgings of smaller-leaved sedums.
- Cut off old blossoms on spring flowering annuals, such as pansies, snapdragons, stock and calendulas, to prolong the flowering season.
- Continue to fertilize roses every four to six weeks with small amounts of a balanced fertilizer.
- Allow foliage of spring flowering bulbs to mature and yellow before removing.
- Set out plants of hybrid portulaca (purslane) in sunny areas. Make rooted cuttings of your favorite colors by placing 3 to 4 inch stems in moist, sandy soils.
- It is not too late to sow directly into the soil seeds of sunflower, zinnia, morning glory, portulaca, marigold, cosmos, periwinkles and gourds. Achimenes, cannas, dahlias and other summer flowering bulbs can also be planted in May.
- Pinch back the terminal growth on newly planted annual and perennial plants. This will result in shorter, more compact, better branched plants with more flowers.
- Plant caladium tubers, petunias, impatiens, begonias and torenias in well prepared shady areas.
- Make cuttings of your favorite chrysanthemums and root them in a mixture of sand and peat moss. Cover cutting box with plastic and place in shaded area for 5 to 6 days to prevent wilting.
- Replace or replenish mulch materials in flower beds and shrub borders to conserve moisture and reduce weed growth.
- Remove or cut back frost-damaged crape myrtle and other ornamentals as soon as the extent of the injury can be determined.

She was barely as tall as my shoulder, protected from the morning chill by a long black coat and a black wool scarf wound round her throat. Equally black deep-set eyes smiled up at me from behind her black lace veil. How old she was I can only guess—70s? 80s? Maybe only in her 60s. Life can be hard here, making ages difficult to determine. People past middle age often seem older than their years, their faces lined with wind, sun, and struggle.
“What are you looking for?” she asked.
Surprised out of my reverie, I told her, “Nothing. I’m just trying to learn the names of the streets.” I was embarrassed at having been such an obvious tourist, caught with my neck craned in study of the street signs.
We were both headed toward the market, she with an empty pail to be filled with milk, I with a blank page to be written with the day’s adventures. So we walked together, she and I—teacher and student, hostess and guest, guide and gringa.
Ibarra, high in the Ecuadorian Andes 90 miles north of the equator, was my newly discovered paradise. I had been drawn back for a second trip by indelible impressions of mountaintops ringed with fog, poinsettias growing on trees taller than I am, people who go out of their way to make me feel welcome. The sign outside the city proclaims Ibarra as “the city to which one always returns”—no idle boast.
My companion pointed out places of interest along the way. She showed me the train station where people gathered every morning for the Bluebird school bus on rails to take them to San Lorenzo, some 150 miles to the northwest on the Pacific coast. There is only one train a day, and no roads. The platform was already crowded with hopeful travelers jockeying for a position that would assure them of a place on this day’s train.
Seeing them reminded me that I, too, was a traveler. I wondered how I would feel about this town if I had been born here. Would I be content if I had lived here all my life? Or would I yearnfor adventures abroad? Would I be dreaming about a life of luxury in the United States instead of a life of simplicity in Ecuador?
My guide and I threaded our way through vendors of pirated music—rock to Rachmaninoff—and entered the market among the aromas of the food stalls. We passed by whole roast pigs and other choice fast foods into a visual and olfactory feast of bananas, oranges, guavas, avocados, and tomatoes. We covered what seemed like several city blocks of market, passing by shoes, shirts, tools, pots and pans, stopping occasionally while my guide spoke to a friend. I never found anyone in too much of a hurry to say hello to a friend—or to a stranger on the street.
Greetings are always accompanied by at least a handshake. Among close friends there is also a kiss on the cheek. With Pepita, a friend I met later, it seemed perfectly natural to hold hands or link arms as we walked through the city—something I wouldn’t expect to see in the United States except among children or as a political statement. It was in a nearby village where I learned the custom of “shaking hands” by touching the backs of wrists when one’s hands are dirty from work. The important thing is to touch in greeting, regardless of the circumstances. This is a country where a person does not feel compelled to apologize for brushing up against another.
When I described my impression of Ecuadorian culture to a North American friend, he said that it seems to be a very feminine society. I guess it is in many ways, but at the same time strongly patriarchal. Paradox rules. Life is not easy here, but there is a softness about it that seems to temper the hardship.
Out into the sunlight once again, my companion left her milk pail at the store where she would fill it later. We continued to walk and talk, the latter an unlikely activity for two people with only a few words in common, but not all that difficult.
Finally, ready to turn back toward my hotel, I told her I would be going on in a different direction, and I thanked her for her kindness. I felt like she would have walked with me out of the city and into the countryside if I had been willing.
Before we parted, I introduced myself and asked her name.
“Clemencia,” she said.
Of course. Clemencia. Merciful. Angel in black.
I looked back from across the street. We waved to each other and went our different ways.

A report published in the July 2009 edition of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism states that when looking at health markers (levels of hormones, risk factors, etc.), low Testosterone for men and a low estradiol for women are markers for higher risk of death from other diseases.
Dr. John Morley, local researcher, physician and head of geriatrics at St. Louis University, published an article stating that Testosterone supplementation improves spacial perception and eye hand coordination. He also reports that Testosterone helps older men improve bone density, and muscle mass and strength, making it possible for them to move around more easily.
Dr. Ian Chapman from Australia found that treating both men and women in nursing homes with testosterone decreased the number of times they were hospitalized. He suggests that aging patients will benefit from Testosterone replacement.

A collective aiyeeeeeeeeeeee reverberated across the planet.
To the dismay of the millions of Pokemon Go addicts in 26 countries, Nintendo-Niantic confirmed today, July 16, that the servers for the game that’s taking the world by storm were indeed down. Update 12:51 pm EST: Gamer community group Pokemon Go News reported a few hours later that Nintendo’s servers were up and running, though service might be sluggish for some users.
“Our servers are humbled by your incredible response,” read the augmented reality game’s opening screen earlier in the day, announcing the temporary lapse in service. A merry band of cute pocket monsters delivered the bad news. “We are working to resolve the issue. Please try again soon.”
Impatient players started giving the Nintendo’s IT team suggestions:
And a few players were besieged by an existential crisis:
In the US, several Pokemon Go pub crawls are organized for today. Hopefully, the servers will stay up for the mob of players traipsing through neighborhoods, restaurants, churches, cemeteries and bars. If not, they’re just going to have to drown their sorrows with a pint or find purpose with an aimless walk to a park.

Fudan University held an opening ceremony to welcome the new cohort of students on September 13. This year, 14,845 new students proudly claim the title of Fudaner.
Fudan President Xu Ningsheng delivered a speech during the ceremony.
Noting that the era we’re living in features rapid changes, President Xu called on the incoming students to ponder from three perspectives what the world is and will be like and what Fudaners should do.
“First, the future is shared by all mankind. We should think of the world as a whole where everyone stands and strives together for the welfare of humanity.
Second, one cannot separate themselves from their country. We should dedicate ourselves to the development of the country to fulfill the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation.
Third, competition between countries today centers on technological innovation. I hope that our undergraduates can inquire earnestly, think independently, and cooperate with each other in their study and research and that graduates can delve into their research with innovative ideas,” said President Xu.


US-based Southern Company subsidiary Southern Power will construct a 200MW wind facility in Reading, Kansas, after signing an agreement with global cruise vacation company Royal Caribbean Cruises.
The new Reading Wind facility is reported to be Southern Power’s eleventh wind facility, which will be developed in Osage and Lyon Counties, Kansas.
It will also be Southern Power’s first project to be validated as a carbon offset project under the Verified Carbon Standard.
Southern Power president and CEO Mark Lantrip said: “Southern Power is thrilled to partner with Royal Caribbean to provide the company with a carbon offset project that will further complement Royal Caribbean’s expansive sustainability initiatives.
“Reading Wind celebrates the first project in our joint development agreement with RES America Developments (RES), qualifying for 100% production tax credits and is an important addition to Southern Power’s portfolio.
“We’re proud to support Royal Caribbean’s innovative approach toward advancing its sustainability through this project.”
Southern Power’s new wind facility is expected to generate nearly 760,000MWph of clean energy on an annual basis.
The new 12-year agreement, which will begin from 2020, is expected to offset up to 12% of Royal Caribbean’s emissions.
The deal is also expected to support Royal Caribbean’s extensive sustainability efforts, which include programmes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through innovations at sea and in port.
Royal Caribbean Cruises chairman and CEO Richard Fain said: “This agreement complements our longstanding strategic initiatives to reduce the company’s emissions and become a more sustainable operator.”
The Reading Wind facility will break ground in the second quarter of next year and is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2020. It will be equipped with 62 wind turbines manufactured by Siemens Gamesa.
Upon completion, Southern Power will operate and maintain the facility.

The article by Yamri Taddese (see “Cases involving $2M in fees show how family law costs can spiral,” May 11) on family court costs is instructive but not for the reasons so many of the commentators quoted seem to be indicating.
The fact that lawyers can run up $1 million in costs arguing about sleepover arrangements shows only what most of us have known for years: the courts are
becoming more and more the playground of the rich. Despite many statements from the judiciary and the Law Society of Upper Canada about providing legal service for those of limited means, the legal system (especially in civil and family law) continues to focus on the needs of the rich and powerful. And every time there are revisions to the rules of court, you can be sure that it is to make life more complicated for lawyers and litigants while giving more power to court clerks.
A simple example is the requirement for financial statements in support matters. Prior to the so-called support guidelines, the financial statement for support matters was a simple three-page document. At that time, judges paid attention to income, expenses, and taxes. Financial statements for support are now approximately 10 pages and growing. Since the support guidelines have been introduced, judges pay no attention to anything other than gross income.
So the guidelines are now the law in practice, yet litigants are forced to fill up a form with ignored numbers. So lawyers get blamed for requesting information that most often will not influence the case and having to charge fees for completing a 10-page form where only one item matters.
