A British woman, said to be in her 60s (see update below), has died after being hit by a train on its way into Lagos this morning.
The woman, believed to be a holidaymaker, was apparently killed instantly.
Local reports described the force of the impact being “so great that she was flung over metal barriers along the railway line”, wrote the UK Sun.
What the woman was doing on the tracks is not clear. There are areas along popular Meia Praia beach where people have to step over the lines in order to get to the sands.
Said the Sun, the accident happened near Meia Praia around 10.15am.
Other newspapers give the slightly later time of 10.44, with Jornal do Algarve claiming the accident happened next to Lagos station (in other words, at the most westerly tip of tracks and north of Meia Praia).
Train services were affected for a number of hours but have since been reestablished.
Monday morning: The woman was in fact aged 73, say latest reports that claim she was accompanied at the time of the accident by a female friend who has had to receive trauma counselling.
The crossing is one where there are no barriers, signals or even lights to warn of approaching trains. There is simply a sign, written in Portuguese, telling people to “stop, listen and look”.
The sign is headed by the word: “Atenção” and there is a triangle beneath depicting a train.
In theory it should be enough warning to people approaching the little crossing to be on their guard, but anyone with bad hearing and vision could be at a disadvantage.
GNR police are now investigating the accident as the body of the so-far-unnamed holidaymaker has been transported to Portimão for autopsy.
According to reports, the train had only just left the little stop on the Meia Praia stretch of line – and the victim was crossing from the beach side, presumably back to her accommodation.
The accident was called in by the train driver and a member of the public, reports tabloid Correio da Manhã.
Tragically, this is a stretch of track that is notorious for this kind of accident. Local children, walkers and even golfers have been killed as the tracks border a beachside community immortalised by Portuguese singer Zeca Afonso and cut through an18-hole golf course.

*Carey Murdock, editor of SoonerScoop.com, looked into Mike Balogun's former semi-pro league, inspiring him to write this missive to the powers that be at NCAA headquarters.
Unfortunately for Balogun, the NCAA typically doesn't allow much latitude in these types of situations. It would shock Homerism if The Bricklayer was reinstated. Pretty sad state of affairs.
*Chad Millman, ESPN's new "sports wagering" writer, has a pretty cool article on the latest rage in football handicapping.
*Saw Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story this weekend. I just don't get these spoof flicks. Plus, is there a more blah actress than Jenna Fischer in the business today?
*Florida's Brandon Spikes says OU plays dirty. This is like all the complaining you hear from Florida fans about OU supposedly holding the whole time during the national championship game. You won the game, Gators. Move on.
*Sports bloggers have seemingly made an entire niche industry out of rankings and lists, so I'm well aware that this complaint is rife with irony. Homerism is as guilty of it as anyone. However, today's deluge of pontificating on college football's top "villains" is the kind of just-skirting-the-line-of-news junk from ESPN that really rubs Homerism the wrong way. Instead of actually trying to do some research and reporting that might produce some semblance of insight into the great game of college football, we're treated some pointless, warmed-over drivel that puts the Worldwide Leader right in the middle of the conversation.
The most infuriating part is how the rest of the sports media helps perpetuate the ESPN monolith. Note, for instance, this recent blog post from Guerin Emig, OU beat reporter for the Tulsa World: "ESPN, Sooners off to a rough start." Every Mickey Mouse--get it?--college football writer with an Internet connection is out there posting predictions on 2009 season. Yet, when ESPN does it, somehow it becomes news?
*Wow, listening to Jon Gruden talk about the Wildcat on Monday Night Football is making me a little uncomfortable. He's going to need a cigarette when he's done. Meanwhile, Jaws sounds like a spurned schoolgirl with Chucky in the booth.
*Couldn't you see something like this happening at OU during the Howard Schnellenberger days?
*A young black football player giving a "shoutout" to Mike Vick... AND he never paid a parking ticket?! Draft at your own risk, NFL!
*Hope you've been keeping up with the ongoing 2009 season preview project the good guys over at GatorsFirst are working on. It's interesting to see how a bunch of other blatant homers view college football at large.

After becoming a designated city in 2003, Saitama City merged with Iwatsuki City in 2005, a city with a rich history as a castle town and culture including doll-making. Saitama City is now a major city with over 1.27 million people that is continually developing and growing.
To take full advantage of the potential of culture and art and make our city a place for vibrant and spiritually enriched living, the Creation of Culture and Arts City Ordinance was enacted on April 1, 2012 to create a “city of culture and art.” Saitama City has since been promoting comprehensive urban development utilizing its diverse historical cultural resources as well as culture and art including bonsai, manga, dolls and railways.
This year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the foundation of Saitama City.
Saitama Triennale 2016 will be held as one of the core projects and be a symbol of the creation of the Saitama City of Culture and Art in this milestone year.
Set in Saitama City, home to over 1.27 million residents, this event will be more than just an art festival. Our wish is to make this event a celebration of the imagination of our citizens, where residents collaborate with artists in a search for the future. Reflected in this theme are the fervent wishes of Triennale director Takashi Serizawa.
Based on the theme “Envisioning the Future!” artists at the forefront of their fields in Japan and abroad will visit and reside in Saitama City, developing a variety of art projects throughout the city while interacting with residents.
We are confident that the Saitama Triennale 2016 will create and promote the innovative and urban culture of Saitama, developing human resources to support this culture. We also believe that the event will lead to the revitalization of areas, offering wonderful opportunities to envision the future for the citizens of Saitama City and for people all over the world.
Lastly, please allow me to extend my gratitude to all those who will provide their generous support and cooperation to Saitama Triennale 2016.
The aim of the Saitama Triennale is to create a common ground in the City of Saitama in 2016 that is wide open to the world for creation and interaction.
Japanese society is reaching a turning point. The conventional values and structures on which we have relied have been shaken to the core, a phenomenon that is being experienced throughout the world. It is becoming harder for us to project into the future.
We need to re-examine our future by spreading the wings of our imagination. We cannot simply accept the future that appears before us, we need to use our own abilities to take a fresh look at where our lives will reside.
This idea led me to ‘Envisioning the Future!’ as the title for the Saitama Triennale 2016.
Numerous international bi-annual and tri-annual art festivals are being organized in various cities these days. Being held in an urban area, I would like to see the Saitama Triennale be open to everyone who has any relationship to the city. A city is not just a collection of buildings and roads, it is an aggregate of the lives of people and the temporal processes of history and culture. I would like to think of this Triennale as ‘soft-urbanism’. It will be a social experiment in rejuvenating urban life by breathing creativity through the windows of art and culture.
The creation of festive spaces is essential, but I would also like to emphasize low-profile efforts that sow the seeds of creative community activities that will continue to grow even after the Triennale, and prepare social structures to support the sustainable development of such activities.
Art vividly evokes alternate realities, different landscapes, forgotten feelings, faint screams, modest everyday pleasures, and unexpected possibilities. It gives us a window into our past and fresh eyes for dreaming our future. Saitama is the best representation of a ‘living city’ in Japan. It sustains the life of ordinary people and a variety of citizen initiatives are unfolding in the city. It is the perfect setting for envisioning the future in which we will reside.
Each art project will become an opportunity for artists and the people of Saitama to meet. Artists visiting the City of Saitama will stay for a period of time, interact with people living here, share creative processes with them, and produce work that could only have been conceived by living here. At the site of interaction and creation, you as a citizen sharing the moment with an artist will be inspired by his or her intuition and be led to envision the future of which you will be a part.
Saitama Triennale 2016 will be held, under the concept of “soft urbanism,” as a demonstration initiative to breathe creativity into the city’s activities with a core of culture and art.
The “locational characteristics” of Saitama are important.
Home to over 1.27 million people, three areas with unique characteristics are set as main venues and projects that take advantage of the locational characteristics will be developed.
We emphasize projects that will arouse the interest of people living in Saitama City and that encourage them to participate in the creation process.
The art festival will form buds for continuous activities after it ends.
We will try to create as many buds of activities as possible that will enable residents to voluntarily and continuously develop after the triennale, which will have served as a trigger; such as implementation of participatory art projects and resident projects, as well as the establishment of an “Artist on Site,” a new initiative to connect art and communities.
The vast Kanto plain, clear and expansive skies, abundant water – I have expressed the many charms of Saitama City in the form of colors.
To lead into the Triennale’s concept of “Envisioning the Future!” I used a blue base to express the infinite breadth of the sky and the water.
The parallelogram evokes the shape of Saitama City, while the blue lines on either site represent its rivers.
The rectangle with added angles evokes the shape of Saitama City, while the blue lines on either site represent its rivers.
As someone who had grown up and stayed in the Minuma district of Saitama city until the age of 20, the rice field in Minuma seemed like the centre of the world to me. It was somewhere I could always came back to, no matter where I went. Anywhere can be a precious place that can seem like the centre of the world to those who are inhabiting it; no matter how subtle it seems to be to the other. I dream of shooting beauty in something which is too natural to realise, even if one can always see it. With these photographs, I wish to create artworks wherein people can sense exactly how rich the world is.
As can be clearly seen in this photograph, Rika Noguchi reveals the undiscovered mystique of ordinary landscape, and in doing so, brings a revitalised radiance to it. And this is exactly what I look for in art, what is to say; its magical power.
Noguchi, a photographer based in Berlin, looks at the landscape of Saitama where she was born and has grown up through a new lens. The river featured in this image is Shibakawa, one of the many rivers running through the city. Despite the fact that river is always out there, many people cease to realise its particularly special moment; as a quiet and presentient face of the river. And to realise this beautiful but often fleeting blink would be exactly what I think of as ‘envisioning the future!’. Thus I have no hesitation in featuring this photo image as a symbolic representation of the spirit of Saitama Triennale 2016.

National has a proud heritage dating back over 80 years. We’re part of New Zealand’s history, and are building the foundation for its future.
The New Zealand National Party was formed in Wellington on May 13 and 14, 1936. It grew out of the coalition government of the Reform and Liberal parties, which had formed the wartime National Government in 1915.
The Reform Party had been essentially a rural based party, whereas the Liberals were dominated by city based concerns. These two parties united to form an alternative to the socialist Labour government. The name "National" was chosen as the new party sought to represent all parts of the community.
George Forbes, the United Party Leader opened the conference which formed the National Party in May 1936 and was Leader of the Opposition until October 1936 when Adam Hamilton was elected as the first Leader of the National Party.
The Party grew quickly and by the third party conference in August 1938, shortly before the general election, there were more than 100,000 members.
Hamilton led the Party into its first election in 1938. This election proved to be very disappointing with the number of National members rising from a mere 19 to 25 seats out of 80, well short of becoming government.
The onset of World War Two saw National MPs entering a War Cabinet with the Labour Government of Peter Fraser. In 1940 Sidney Holland was elected National Party Leader. He led the Party into the 1943 election with National reducing Labour's majority from 28 seats to just 12.
National's first woman Member of Parliament was Hilda Ross who won the Hamilton electorate in a by-election in May 1945 and went on to serve as a minister in the first National Government. She was made a Dame in 1956.
The 1946 election saw the removal of the "country quota", which had increased the number of rural seats, and this cost National victory. National won 38 of the general electorate seats, the same as Labour, but the four Maori electorates remained firmly in Labour's hands. In the wake of the defeat Keith Holyoake was chosen as deputy leader in 1947. At the first meeting of the Dominion Executive of the Party following the election in March 1947, a Marginal Seats Committee was formed. Eight Labour held seats were heavily targeted to take National to the Treasury benches.
When New Zealand went to the polls in 1949, National swept in to power winning 46 of a possible 80 seats. After 13 years of opposition National finally took office.
The first National Government faced its gravest challenge in the 1951 waterfront dispute. The industrial unrest caused many difficulties for the Government. Holland consulted his cabinet and senior party officials and called a snap election. The campaign contrasted the strong leadership of Holland versus the older Labour leader Walter Nash. National won by a landslide with 54 per cent of all votes cast giving lifting the party’s majority to 20 seats from 12 the previous election.
The Government gradually deregulated the economy from the austerity of wartime. The Korean War meant a booming demand for New Zealand's products. However, the election in 1954 saw National's vote drop by nearly 100,000. This was largely due to the emergence of the Social Credit Political League. National retained its majority but lost five seats. Cabinet was reshuffled with many new younger faces brought in.
Holland became increasingly ill in 1956. Keith Holyoake was elected leader on 13 August 1957. Five weeks later Holland resigned as Prime Minister and Holyoake formed his own Cabinet on 20 September. Holland retired at the 1957 election and died four years later.
Keith Jacka Holyoake had left school at the age of 12, when his father had become ill. He worked his father's farm and was educated by his mother at night. He later became very active in the community, particularly with rugby union and the Farmers Union. At the age of 53, he succeeded Holland. He was known as an extremely astute chairman of Cabinet and Caucus. He encouraged consensus and compromise in decision-making.
The 1957 election campaign was not successful for National. The late leadership change, Labour's promise of a 100 pound tax rebate, and a weaker National Party organisation resulted in Labour winning 41seats to National's 39. The National vote dropped only slightly but Labour had taken votes at Social Credit's expense. Holyoake had been prime minister for just 70 days and he almost immediately set out to return to that office.
By mid-1958, Holyoake had Labour on the run. The Labour Government's Black Budget of 1958 saw a collapse in Labour's electoral support. Holyoake criss-crossed the country from May 1959 to take his message to the people. During 1960 he undertook a six-week tour of Asia as the Leader of Opposition and greatly improved our Asian relations. Heavy tax increases and vigorous National campaign unseated Labour. National was restored to power with 46 seats and a majority of 12. One of the new MPs was R.D. Muldoon from Tamaki.
The new Holyoake Government worked to implement 215 Bills in its term. It brought through 156 in the first session. Government legislation ranged from revision of the Crimes Act to changes to the liquor laws. This led the 1963 election to be fought on memories of the unpopular Labour Government and the successful National Government. National only lost a net one seat.
From 1964 the Vietnam War began to dominate the news. Labour installed Norman Kirk as leader in 1966 and he decided not to use Vietnam as an issue in the 1966 election. This election campaign was Holyoake's stormiest. There were near riots at his election meetings in the main cities and TV began to play a part in the campaign. However, National lost a net of just one seat, not to Labour, but to Social Credit.
Muldoon was appointed to Cabinet in February 1967, three weeks later, Harry Lake then Minister of Finance died. Muldoon was appointed to the post. Not long after assuming the post Muldoon introduced his first mini-budget, which bore the hallmark of his piecemeal and interventionist style.
National tried to fight the 1969 election over the success of its National Development Conference. Again the Vietnam War dominated, protesters brawling with police and Holyoake was mobbed. Muldoon was used to attack Kirk and revelled in the higher profile he now had. In an increased Parliament of 84 seats, National won 45 and Labour 39.
Holyoake announced his retirement at Caucus on 2 February 1972. Jack Marshall, Holyoake’s long-time deputy, succeeded him. Marshall was highly respected for his work in negotiation for trade access with the European Economic Community. He took over a National Party in election year that was 16 points behind in the opinion polls, Muldoon was elected deputy leader.
The Labour Party under Kirk inflicted a severe defeat on the National Party in the 1972 election. Their "Time for Change" campaign and Kirk's television persona were too much for the more retiring Marshall. National was left with 32 seats out of 87. Among the new MPs elected that year was Jim Bolger.
Robert Muldoon, a former accountant and the MP for Tāmaki, became the leader of a shattered National Party in July 1974. The Caucus saw Muldoon as the man capable of taking on Kirk. Other major changes were made to the organisation. A new president was elected in George Chapman and a new director-general in Barrie Leay. They developed a highly successful advertising campaign for the coming election.
Kirk died in office and was replaced by Bill Rowling. Rowling lived in the shadow of Kirk. Muldoon barnstormed the country in 1975 his most famous meeting of that campaign was at the Wiri Woolstore where he spoke to a crowd of 6500. Muldoon, the master debater, was highly successful on television, which had come of age as a primary campaigning medium. A highly successful advertising campaign put National into power with a massive majority.
National’s 23-seat majority was an exact reversal of Labour's 1972 result.
Initially, Muldoon appeared to begin reforming the economy and eliminate the budget deficit. Soon Muldoon began moving toward a more regulated and interventionist approach. By the 1978 election, National's share of the vote fell from 48 per cent to 40 per cent. Only superior National organisation in key marginal seats resulted in the Party retaining power, albeit with 51 seats, a majority of just 10 seats, in the 92 seat Parliament. Social Credit gained one seat.
In October 1980, Muldoon's leadership came under challenge in the so called "Colonels' Coup." Three able young ministers Derek Quigley, Jim McLay and Jim Bolger looked to replace Muldoon with his deputy, Brian Talboys. However, Talboys was unwilling and once Muldoon returned from his overseas trip, he set about retaining power and managed to head off the challenge.
The 1981 election was dominated by the aftermath of the Springbok Tour and by the "Think Big" plans. Think Big aimed to invest public money into major energy projects that would provide alternatives to oil following the two oil price-hike shocks of the 1970s. National held 47 seats to Labour's 43, each party having 39 per cent of the vote, with Social Credit winning two seats (with a popular vote of 20 per cent). This lead to a majority of just one following the appointment of a Speaker who at that time had a no deliberative vote.
Muldoon as Prime Minister and Minister of Finance imposed his will on the economy through mini-budgets and a freeze of wages and prices.
However, there were some more reformist actions. In 1983 Jim Bolger introduced Voluntary Unionism legislation and also in the post of Minister of Labour he freed up shop trading hours. He was seen as a mix of Holland, Holyoake, and Muldoon and pushed for a more balanced approach to the economy.
The Clyde Dam Bill, which fast-tracked development of the hydro generating station, was among the actions that caused Muldoon to lose the support of a number of MPs. Maverick National MPs Marilyn Waring and Mike Minogue threatened the fragile majority. In March 1984, National elected Jim McLay deputy leader. He had strong appeal with more liberal sections of society and the business sector.
After falling to gain the support of Marilyn Waring over nuclear ship legislation, Muldoon called a snap election which was held on 14 July 1984. This was despite warnings from Party President Sue Wood that the party organisation was completely unprepared.
The New Zealand Party formed by former National supporter, Bob Jones took away traditional National support across the country, securing 12 per cent of the vote. Divisions and defections in National and the charismatic Labour leader David Lange took National's share of the vote to just 36 per cent of the vote and 37 of 95 seats.
In November 1984, Muldoon was voted out in favour of a new leadership team. Jim McLay became leader and Bolger his deputy. McLay took over a traumatised National Party. Muldoon undermined him in the media and his supporters put pressure on the McLay leadership.
McLay did not find television easy and he fell behind in the polls as he failed to put pressure on the Labour Government. In early 1986 James Brendan Bolger, MP for King Country, took over as Leader.
He took National into battle against a Lange Government in full flight. Big business funded Labour's campaign as the sharemarket boomed. Urban, liberal New Zealand that had voted for the New Zealand Party in 1984, now voted Labour as they got rich quick. While National gained 44 per cent of the vote in the 1987 election, winning 40 seats, 17 behind Labour with 48 per cent. National was only hundreds of votes from losing urban strongholds like Remuera, but held onto the likes of Timaru. However, soon after the election the sharemarket crashed and the economy slammed into recession. There was rapidly rising unemployment and negative economic growth. The new member for Ashburton elected in 1987 was Jenny Shipley.
National came to the front of the polls and stayed there. In 1990, National won an astounding 67 seats of a possible 97. This was the largest majority in New Zealand's Parliamentary history. The fourth National Government took steps to rein in ballooning public spending and put the books in order. They succeeded and brought the Budget in to surplus in 1994. With an export-led recovery New Zealand began to boom and unemployment fell through the 1990s after peaking at 10.9 per cent in 1991.
During the first term of the fourth National Government, Cabinet Minister Winston Peters made public his disagreement with the direction of some of the Government's policy. In October 1991 he was dismissed from Cabinet. He resigned from the National caucus in October 1992, and was not selected to be the National candidate again in his Tauranga electorate. Winston Peters established a centrist party called NZ First.
The 1993 election was fought on the basis of the rapidly expanding recovery. While most pundits had National in with a comfortable majority, election night delivered a shock. It appeared that there would be a hung parliament, with National unable to establish clear majority. As Prime Minister Bolger said, "Bugger the pollsters". The return of special votes established that National's Alec Neill had in fact won the seat of Waitaki. Peter Tapsell the Labour Member of Parliament for Eastern Maori became the Speaker of the House and National had a majority of two, having won 50 of the 99 seats with 35 per cent of the vote. 1993 saw a combined third party vote of 27 per cent for NZ First and Alliance.
Also that night a referendum on electoral systems established that Mixed Member Proportional representation would be used for future elections, replacing First Past the Post. Thus the 1994-96 term of Parliament was dominated by manoeuvring in advance of MMP. Many new parties formed but only six were elected to Parliament in the 1996 MMP election.
The election night results, as predicted, were inconclusive with National gaining 34 per cent, similar to 1993, and winning 44 out of the 120 seats in Parliament. After almost nine weeks of post-election coalition talks with NZ First which had won 13 per cent of the party vote giving it 17 seats, a coalition was agreed between the two parties and a National/NZ First Government was sworn in with 61 seats out of 120 in the House. The right-wing Act party had 6 per cent.
The public took some time to get used to consensus-style coalition government. The unpopularity of NZ First also rubbed off on National. National's public poll ratings reached record lows.
In December 1997 Jenny Shipley replaced Jim Bolger as Leader of the National Party and Prime Minister. Mrs Shipley became both the National Party’s first woman leader, and also New Zealand’s first woman Prime Minister. In August 1998 Winston Peters was sacked as Treasurer and Deputy Prime Minister. NZ First left the Coalition Government. However, a number of MPs resigned from NZ First and were committed to supporting the Government.
National continued in power as a minority Government, similar to many in Europe, with the support also of Act, United, and independent MPs. Despite these challenges National successfully enacted further important reforms, enabling greater competition and consumer choice across a number of industries.
The change of leadership, coupled with a major Cabinet re-shuffle in January 1999, saw National entering the election campaign with a fresher and more centrist team.
In October 2001 Bill English became National's Leader and Roger Sowry the Deputy Leader. By October 2003 a mood for change resulted in the election of Don Brash as Leader of the National Party, with Bill English moving to a front bench seat. After a short period as Deputy Leader, Nick Smith was replaced by Gerry Brownlee.
At the 2005 election National came agonisingly close to taking power after Don Brash and his team managed to almost double National's party vote and number of MPs.
In late 2006, Don Brash decided to step down as leader. Finance Spokesman, John Key, was elected Leader and Bill English as Deputy Leader.
Under John Key’s fresh leadership, National went into the 2008 general election campaign with a large lead in the opinion polls. The Party ran a strong, disciplined and relentlessly positive campaign that focused on the issues that mattered to New Zealanders fed up with nine years of an increasingly ‘PC’ Labour Government. National asked New Zealanders to ‘Choose a Brighter Future’ and voters responded by delivering John Key and National a resounding victory of 45 per cent of the vote (to Labour’s 34 per cent) – the highest ever party vote percentage achieved under MMP.
Despite National’s healthy election margin John Key forged confidence and supply agreements with partners to the right and left, including the Act, United Future, and Maori parties to deliver New Zealanders a strong, stable centre-right Government.
During its first term in office, the National Government faced extraordinary challenges from the global economic crisis to the two Canterbury earthquakes and the Pike River Mine Disaster. John Key dealt with these events swiftly, skilfully, and with immense compassion. And through it all the National-led Government has continued to work hard to deliver on its election promises, help Kiwis get ahead, and build a brighter future for New Zealand.
The voters returned National to the Treasury benches in 2011 with National renewing its supply and confidence agreements with the Act, United Future, and Maori parties.
National’s second term in office saw it build on the successes of the first. Under John Key’s leadership, New Zealand continued to prosper and become one of the fastest growing countries in the OECD. It was becoming a more confident, outward looking nation where Kiwis wanted to live and Kiwis overseas wanted to return home to – a far cry from the stadium of departures John Key highlighted in the 2008 election campaign.
National’s campaign for a third term saw it take its track record of economic success and ongoing commitment to back all New Zealanders’ hard work. Its pledge to keep working for New Zealand saw it returned to Government alongside its confidence and supply partners Act, United Future and the Maori Party.

Ever since its inception in 1963, the WAVE Group has been spreading its wings to almost all domains of business starting from sugar manufacturing, distilleries, paper manufacturing, real estate, malls & multiplexes to spirits, liquor retail & distribution, sports and entertainment. Its CSR arm, The Ponty Chadha Foundation, endeavors to give back to the communities that are directly or indirectly connected to the WAVE Group by implementing social initiatives that in the long term will empower them. Mrs. Jatinder Kaur Chadha has established the Foundation to bring alive the dreams of her late husband and the erstwhile visionary chairman of the WAVE Group, Mr. Ponty Chadha.
With the objective to boost the potentials of youths coming from less advantaged families, the Ponty Chadha Foundation is establishing the WAVE Skills Academy in Ghaziabad. It is an endeavor to impart training to such candidates, thereby honing them with specialized skills and then helping them to get employment.
The soon to be completed, WAVE Skills Academy, is being developed on 6 acres land in Dasna, Ghaziabad with a capacity to train 120 to 150 trainees per training programme. The campus will include residential accommodation, mess, kitchen and washrooms, training/lecture rooms, labs/simulation rooms, administrative block, store and open areas. The institution will initially impart training programs in security services and facilities management/hospitality training and later include training pertaining to the construction and real estate sectors, as these are in sync with the WAVE Group’s initiatives. Addition of more training modules is in the pipeline on the basis of requirements from different sectors.
With a teacher student ratio of 1:30, the idea is to impart training to multiple batches at a time. The training syllabus and curriculum will be based as per the acceptable industry standards. The proposed plans involved the recruitment of the best faculty with years of experience in imparting skills training in security, facilities management, fire fighting and soft skills.
Initially, candidates will be selected from rural areas of UP and with the advancement of the academy, trainees from other states will be chosen as well. The candidate’s economic and educational profile followed by his/her willingness to take up employment will be the criteria for their selection.

They're cheering all the "winning" they'll do under Donald Trump.
WASHINGTON ― Climate change deniers are feeling good.
Nowhere was that more apparent this week than at the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s “Energy and Climate Policy Summit,” held Thursday at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. The election of Donald Trump ― who has called climate change a “hoax,” though he has also spewed a bunch of occasionally sympathetic non sequiturs about it ― was clearly a sign of better days for those who disagree with the vast majority of scientists about human influence on the climate.
Individual sessions at the all-day event included “Is CO2 Really a Pollutant?” and “A Conversation on Climate Intimidation.” They featured the small group of very vocal scientists who dispute the overwhelming evidence that human activity is causing the planet to warm.
The keynote speaker just before lunch was Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the upper chamber’s most vocal climate change denier and the guy who brought a snowball to the Senate floor last year to prove his point.
In her introduction of the senator, the Heritage Foundation’s Becky Norton Dunlop praised Inhofe as “one of the great champions for truth in our country today.” Inhofe started off with a pitch about a drawing later in the day for a copy of his book, The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future.
Inhofe was particularly happy about Trump’s selection of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to head the Environmental Protection Agency. It’s a dream to have his fellow Oklahoman fill that role, Inhofe said, and the audience’s applause suggested they felt the same.
“You will love this guy,” he said.
Inhofe praised the “army of 200” assembled in the room: “You are voices out there in the wilderness, out there with me.” He also praised the scientists there, who included Willie Soon, who has worked at the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and Patrick Michaels of the Cato Institute ― both of whom, incidentally, have received fossil fuel funding to support their efforts to undermine climate science.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), another congressional climate change denier, told the crowd that he, too, is “so encouraged by the nomination” of Pruitt.
“It’s undergone decade after decade of abuse for no reason,” Happer said.

There is no denying it; the world of Social Media is changing. A few years ago Social Media barely even figured in a typical marketing plan. It all changed with the emergence of Facebook, Twitter, and some of the original Social Media sites whose names most of us are too young to remember. Now we are trying to get as much bang for our buck as possible; generic followers are no longer sufficient, we want good, valued connections and to build mutually beneficial relationships through the creation and maintenance of good Social Media profiles.
Take a look at Google+, a small player for a while that looks set to become dominant in Social Media over the next year or two. Bring on snapchat, an opportunity to “chat” via video, text, photos and drawings, with the added twist that the messages (known as “snaps”) are deleted after a specified period of time (from 1-10 seconds, according to the users’ preference). Spontaneous, fun and relatively “safe”, this application reportedly allows people of all ages (over 13 years) to express themselves without the risk of images or messages coming back to bite them…. This would explain why over 400 million snaps are reported to be sent every day, compared to Facebook’s 350 million and instagram’s comparatively paltry 55 million.
But What Was 2013’s Fastest Growing Social Media App?
Social Media is on the up. With the key platforms, such as Facebook, YouTube, Skype and Facebook Messenger showing growth rates between 107 and 115% between the first and third quarters of 2013, and imaging apps WhatsApp, Instagram and flickr clocking up 123-146% increases, Social Media is setting the scene for 2014.
It looks like images are where the apps were at for 2013 as well as where they are going in 2014, so it is no surprise that the fastest growing app for 2013 was Vine, Twitter’s video platform, which celebrates the first birthday of its launch today.
Named for the word vignette, defined as “a brief evocative description, account, or episode”, or a portrait, Vine is an app available on iOS or Android that allows users to post videos of up to 6 seconds in length. The app stands out for two primary reasons: the sound is defaulted to mute (so refreshing if you are sick of music or soundtracks suddenly blaring out of your computer uninvited), and the short video plays continually on a loop.
Claiming that the 6 second time constraint encourages imagination, just like the 140 twitter limit, Vine is being credited with the re-emergence of stop motion photography. One thing is for sure: just as Social Media has evolved with us, and we have evolved with Social Media, Vine is likely to become a key player in branding and raising Social Media profiles, giving users the opportunity to raise brand awareness through the creation of shareable content.
Vine gives you just 6 seconds (on a loop). So, for funny dads and cute kids, for major corporations and big brands, Vine could give users the opportunity to reach a large audience, provided you can get your message across in the allotted time. This can be a challenge for brands for corporations and less visual brands, which is where your digital marketing company comes in.
With access to some great creative minds and our outstanding Social Media prowess, the Bravr team are well positioned to create Social Media campaigns that really hit the mark. We pride ourselves in staying ahead of the game, which makes us the digital marketing company for building brands and creating a distinguished online presence throughout all Social Media platforms.

Another use I have found for my abundance of fabric from yard sales is creating a fabric cover for spiral bound books. The instructions can be modified to fit any size book. I create a ton of scrapbooks with my Bind-It-All so this is another great way to cover these mini books too.
You will need 3 pieces of fabric. The first piece will be the width of your book when completely laid open, plus 2-1/2" by the height of your book or journal, plus 1-1/4". So, for example, my book measures 10" wide when laid completely open by 7-1/2" tall. So my back piece of fabric is cut to 12-1/4 x 8-3/4. You then need two smaller pieces of fabric cut to the same height (8-3/4" in my case). For the width, measure the front cover of your book and subtract 1/2". Mine was a 5" cover, so I cut the inside pieces to 4-1/2" wide.
Press one edge of each of the two smaller pieces of fabric over 1/4".
With right sides together, sew the two smaller pieces to the larger piece on the three outside edges, leaving the creased over edge un-sewn.
Turn right side out. Press flat and also press the top and bottom raw edge down 1/4". Use a zig zag stitch to hold that raw edge down.
Slip your book covers into the pockets of your cover.
Finish off with a ribbon or your choice of a tie closure.

In Swift we use the Objective-C UIKit framework to layout components on the screen, using Storyboard, Constraints etc. In this article we will explore the possibilities of creating layouts without using Storyboards and Constraints, in Swift.
Most layouts will fall into one of the following three categories.
Vertical Layout — Sub Views are laid out vertically one below the other.
Horizontal Layout — Sub Views are laid out horizontally one after the other from left to right.
A Combination of the above two layouts.
Create a Single View Application in Xcode and do the following in the viewDidLoad method.
And run it in the simulator and you should see something like below.
Few things to note here. The ViewController has a UIView object called view whose width and height are set to the full screen. (Gray Color). We also printed to the console the view’s frame. You should see the following in your console.
The above is for iphone 5s. The frames origin is (0.0,0.0) and width and height is (320.0,568.0).
The sub views are laid out relative to the superview. The problem with laying out sub views this way is that you need to know the absolute positions and you have no control over laying out on other screen sizes.
A vertical layout lays out it’s subviews one below the other. Each subview is placed relative to the base line of the previous view. The vertical layout has a fixed width and a variable height.
We can create a vertical layout by extending the UIView class. The code for the vertical layout is given below.
Add the code above to your project and edit viewDidLoad functions as below.
And run it in your emulator. You will get a screenshot as below.
The vertical layout takes the height of it’s laid out components.
The second view (veiw2) is positioned relative to the bottom of view1. (100, 50, 100, 100). Whatever the height and position of view1, view2 is place 50 pixels below view1.
Now rotate the view. And we have a problem. The vertical layout has its width set, but we want it to take the full width of the screen. Below is a Vertical layout that will always take the full width of the screen.
Now run the program and rotate the screen, you see VerticalScreenLayout taking the full width of the Screen.
The VerticalFitLayout will expand the layout to fit the height of the parent view. One of the subviews MUST have its height set to zero. And the other subviews MUST be initialised with a height greater than zero. The subview with height zero is expanded to the rest of the height of the parent. Also the total height of the rest of the subviews must be less than the parent height.
Add the above code to your project and edit viewDidLoad to the following.
And your screenshot should look like this.
The Horizontal Layout takes a fixed height and lays out it’s subviews horizontally. Here is the code.
Add the code above to your project and edit viewDidLoad to the following.
When you run your program you should see the following.
The HorizontalFitLayout works like the VerticalFitLayout horizontally. The code is available in the github project. Here is the example usage.
And here is how the above code looks on the simulator.
Note: These layout are not fully implemented, so you have to be careful of the following, if you use them. You cannot insert or remove subviews once the layout is set. If you need to do that, you will have to remove all the subviews and redo the layout again. You can use the removeAll function for that.
However I find a combination of these layouts very useful for my projects and they easily solve most of my layout problems.
Here is an App (A Twitter Client) that uses the above layouts. Actual ScreenShot from my phone.
The whole screen is a VerticalScreenLayout, which contains a HorizontalLayout, UiTextView, HorizontalLayout Centered, UIImageView. The first HorizontalLayout contains a Vertical Layout within.And below is an image of how it is done.

Microsoft announced they are stopping mainstream support for Windows 7. This is a popular operating system, so this creates concern for many. All support for Windows 7 will end on January 14, 2020.
What Does Support Ending Mean?
Your financial data could be exposed to theft.
Does This Mean Windows 7 Won’t Be Reliable?
Yes – your applications may not be updated, your other software could be incompatible, utilities won’t be supported, and new devices may not connect to your system.
Computer manufacturers will no longer support Windows 7. This means things like printers, desktops, laptops and more won’t be guaranteed to work as they should. Your security programs and third-party browsers won’t support Windows 7. When you browse the Web, you could be exposed to cyber threats. All of this will take place over time.
Should You Purchase A New Computer?
It’s not too early to upgrade to Windows 10. Just be sure that your hardware will support it. If you’re using Windows 7, getting a new device with the Windows 10 operating system is recommended. Today’s computers are faster, more powerful and durable.
Newer computers also have a longer battery life and provide increased security. Modern computers are typically less expensive than they were 8 years ago. Total cost of ownership studies conclude that it’s wise to replace your computers at least every four years.
What Are The Benefits Of Upgrading From Windows 7 To Windows 10?
Makes computers run smoother and faster.
Provides a more economical use of memory and disk space.
Boots up your computer from sleep mode faster than before.
Use Cortana – a personal assistant that runs on artificial intelligence (AI).
Search the Web right from your desktop.
Get reminders based on time, places, or people.
Quickly add a virtual desktop.
With Windows Apps new applications are available on all of your devices.
A brand new browser – Edge – that’s better suited to the modern web.
Find facts, files, places, and info fast.
With Windows 10’s new application programming interface called Windows RunTime, your Windows Store Apps are remotely installed and updated. They can also be cleanly uninstalled.
There are RunTime apps for Mail, Photos, Maps, Calendar, Groove Music and more. And you can easily download any of the 700,000 applications from the Windows Store.
How Long Will It Take To Upgrade To Windows 10?
This depends on the age of your computer and how it’s configured. It should only take an hour to do after you’ve downloaded the operating system. New devices upgrade much faster. This is another reason to consider a new computer if it’s 4 years old or older.
Do You Have More Questions About Upgrading To Windows 10?
Every Windows operating system has a lifecycle. Spade Technology will keep you updated on important lifecycle dates. We can help you make informed decisions about when to update, upgrade or make other changes to your software or hardware.

What is Men’s ministry about?
The Men’s Ministry river of God Church, Parklands has grown to be a very active and well-attended Christ-centered fellowship, ministry and mission outreach. We have become a vibrant ‘’ministry to men’’ and a ‘’ministry by men’’ . the focus of this strategic and operational manual is aimed at providing guidelines on discipleship, building strong Christ-centered trusting relationships while addressing the needs of men in maintaining and improving their walk with God. Monthly prayer breakfasts, small study/sharing groups, mentorship programs, local and overseas work trips, group outings and activities and special men’s conferences are some of the ways that men will be involved in this dynamic ministry.
Men who desire to live godly lives must devote time and energy to knowing their father and each other. As Christian men, we must choose to associate and fellowship with other Christian men who will support, encourage, challenge and strengthen us. Men need other men of god to help develop god-like characters in their lives as Proverbs 27:17says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another .’’(ESV)“Men who have grown in their faith are more willing and able to server Christ,’’ – Richard Branson, executive director for North Carolina Baptist Men. Most local churches operate with an event-based strategy in their ministries for men. Most have approached and tried to reach men through breakfasts, work projects, retreats, golf outings and stadium events.All of these are important for ministry. they should not be an end in themselves but rather a means to an end which in this case is being Christ’s disciples. Men today are hurting. Most men are struggling to balance career, marriage, family, church and community responsibilities. they live with confusing messages that do not support authentic biblical manhood. Many are living a life of conventional manhood that settles for less.Jesus said, “go and make disciples” Mathew 28:19 (NIV) yet we continue to make workers. We ask men to do yet we should ask men to be. That strategy lasts for a little while, but Jesus was right . in order to get workers, (doers of the word), we need to disciple men to be followers.

Microsoft, back in May, announced a definitive agreement to acquire Skype for $8.5 billion. According to Skype’s CEO Tony Bates, Microsoft’s purchase of the internet voice and video giant is set to close by October, once the deal gets clearance by European regulators, and is set to have its own division at the software giant.
“We already got through the US side of it. We still have Europe so it’s anyone’s guess, but I would say we’ve got a couple of months more here. Maybe sort of an October timeframe would be my guess,” Bates stated.
Despite reporting a loss last year, Skype is still one of the the most popular platforms for real-time video chat communication and is used across a variety of platforms. Microsoft plans on extending the Skype platform and bring support to Xbox, Kinect, and Windows Phone. Microsoft will also link Skype’s userbase with Microsoft’s current pool of users utilizing Lync, Outlook, and Xbox Live. Furthermore, Microsoft will continue to support and develop Skype on non-Microsoft platforms.
Skype could possibly play a huge role in Microsoft’s effort to turn around its fortunes in the mobile-phone market and compete with rivals Google and Apple. Skype will allow users to make cheap phone calls over the Internet via their mobile phones and could become an issue with carriers.

Looks like it should be a great afternoon to hit the water for an after work paddle.
Please let us know if you're planning to paddle and whether or not you wish to join us for PPR.
Stars has a 6 person minimum, so if we know ahead of time, we can make reservations.
I'm going to plan to attend. Will probably stay for PPR also.
NorwayLady wrote: I’ll be there. PPR too.
If you're talking about just going to the other side of World's End, a few of us did that on a windy night, but we only went as far as the skinny part of World's End and we portaged over.
Kit and I are both planning to paddle but it is unlikely that we can stay for PPR. Must feed dogs that will be ravenously hungry by 7 pm.

"The place was called the Brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence"
The LORD (see The LORD God Our Saviour) deeded the land of Israel to the Israelites before the Israelites even existed. The land promise was made to Abraham (see A Biography Of Abraham: From Ur To Canaan), while the Israelites were the children of Abraham's grandson Jacob, who the LORD renamed as "Israel" (see A Biography Of Jacob: When Jacob Became Israel and The Origin Of Israelites And Jews).
The other people of the land were freely permitted to live on it, and to profit from it, for over 400 years, as tenants, until the actual owners, the Israelites, arrived. By that time, as a form of rent for the land, the other people built wells and towns, olive groves and vineyards. Even when the Israelites arrived, the other people could have remained, as Israelites (e.g. Rahab of Jericho; see Rahab Of Jericho), with the same blessings as Israelites - if they did not make war on the Israelites and if they stopped worshiping idols. Unfortunately, for them, they defied the ultimate owner of the entire Earth, the LORD. The Messianic purpose of the land of Israel is for the salvation of all people.
That is how the children of the Exodus generation were given to fulfill the promise that the LORD made to Abraham: "The LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not."
The Israelites nevertheless had their own problem, at first, with defying the LORD's promise to Abraham.
With their journey to Mount Sinai completed, the Israelites were ready to enter the land promised to them as the Messianic line of Abraham's descendants. That opportunity, directly from the south, through the Negev Desert (see The Negev Of Israel), came only 14 months after the Exodus - a gift that they refused. As it turned out, the Israelites did not enter until forty years and a generation later, from the east, across the Jordan River (see the Fact Finder question below).
As the Israelite column stood on the frontier of the land of Canaan, the LORD commanded Moses to send scouts ahead to gather information.
13:17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain: 13:18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 13:19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; 13:20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
13:21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath. 13:22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 13:23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 13:24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence. 13:25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
The Israelites had already witnessed the great Power of the LORD, at the Exodus (see The First Passover), and at Mount Sinai (see Arrival At Mount Sinai). But they then lost faith in the LORD and refused to go in with the LORD fighting for them. It was, for them, a fatal rebellion.
"13:26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. 13:27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. 13:28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 13:29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
Forty years later, with nearly all of the adults of the Exodus dead because they refused to enter the Promised Land, Moses addressed the children of the rebels just before they did what their parents refused to do. The children took the land, including the vineyards of Eschcol (see the Fact Finder question below).
Fact Finder: Why is there a Book of Deuteronomy in the Holy Bible?
936: Shi Jingtang was proclaimed to be the first emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty by Emperor Taizong of Liao. It followed a revolt against Emperor Fei of Later Tang.
1095: At the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II appointed Bishop Adhemar of Le Puy and Count Raymond IV of Toulouse to lead the First Crusade (there were actually many "crusades" before that; see Constantine's Crusades In History And Prophecy).
1520:Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan passed through a strait on the southern tip of South America from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. It is today know as the Strait of Magellan.
1660: Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle, John Wilkins, and Sir Robert Moray founded the Royal Society (full name "The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge"). The Society today serves as a scientific advisor to the British government.
1698: Louis Frontenac, governor of New France (at first, only what is today eastern Canada), died at age 78. Ignoring orders from his superiors, Frontenac pushed French exploration in the New World, establishing forts throughout North America, from Atlantic to Pacific, and south to Louisiana - an expansion that eventually led to conflict with the British for control of the north of the North American continent (the Spanish held most of the south of North America and South America).
1729: Natchez natives (that early white explorers called "Indians" because they thought North America was Asia; see also The First Chinese American War) massacred most of the 300 French settlers and soldiers at Fort Rosalie, Louisiana.
1821: Panama joined Colombia after declaring independence from Spain.
1868: A major eruption of Sicily's Mount Etna.
1899: During the Second Boer War in South Africa, the British under Lord Methuen battled a force of 9,000 Boers (boer is the Dutch word for farmer) in the Battle of Modder River.
1905: In Dublin, the Irish Sinn Fein was founded.
1912: Albania declared its independence after over 400 years of Ottoman (Turkish) rule (listen to our Sermon The Ottoman Empire).
1941: The U.S. aircraft carrier Enterprise left Pearl Harbor, Hawaii to deliver fighter planes to Wake Island, to the northwest of Hawaii. They were unaware that a Japanese attack force was approaching within striking distance from the north. In doing so, it barely missed being in the harbor during the Japanese attack which occurred only 9 days later. The attack on Pearl Harbor was just one of many Japanese near-simultaneous attacks on Australian, Dutch, British and U.S. targets all across the Pacific in December of 1941.
Many U.S. and Japanese aircraft carriers sunk in battle during the war. Japan lost over 20 aircraft carriers (including those that were involved in the attack on Pearl Harbor), while the U.S. lost over 12 (including the Hornet, Langley, Lexington, Princeton, Wasp and Yorktown).

1984: Over 250 years after his death, England's William Penn (Pennsylvania is named after him) was made an Honorary Citizen of the U.S. It is extremely unlikely that he would have accepted it if he were alive. Although Penn did much city building and political work in the colonies that England had created in the uninhabited wilderness, he did so in loyal patriotism to Britain and the King. Penn did not participate in or agree with the revolution - the reason that he returned to England where he lived the remainder of his life.
1989: With communism crumbling all across Europe, the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia announced that it would surrender its monopoly on political power.
1991: South Ossetia declared independence from Georgia. Soviet Russia occupied Georgia in 1921, later becoming part of the Soviet Union as the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic until its own independence in 1991.
