21st Century Skills — How Do We Prepare Today’s Students?
What skills will today’s students need in order to survive and be competitive?
What strategies and techniques do today’s teachers need to enable students to be ready?
What should parents be doing to enable their children to become effective problem-solvers?
A solution to these concerns is training and implementing the “Feuerstein’s Instrumental Enrichment” (FIE) program. This instructional program teaches higher-level problem-solving strategies within the existing school curriculum.
Developing alternative and collaborative strategies for solving problems (academic, social, economic, political, and more).
Succeed on mandated standardized achievement tests.
Make sense out of new materials.
The FIE Program is published in 18 languages, implemented in 80 countries, and has been evaluated by more than 2000 research studies. The program addresses each of the skills above by having specially trained teachers administer unique materials and methods several times per week within the regular curriculum.
Use the specially designed FIE problem-solving materials and act as a mediator when teaching higher-order thinking strategies as: comparing, analyzing, organizing, sequencing, categorizing, applying logic, and more.
Enable students to focus directly on the problems at hand in a non-competitive context.
Help their students to succeed on examinations through proven test-taking techniques such as decision-making, selecting choices, formulating a constructed response, and reasoning-through posed problems.
Provide insight for students in applying fundamental problem-solving strategies to all areas of the regular curriculum.
Facilitate students’ reflection on their own thought processes (known as metacognition), so that students can gradually become independent thinkers.
Help students to develop intrinsic motivation in their academic work.
Keep children focused on school achievement.
Maintain high expectations for education.
Help children become effective problem-solvers by following up at home with FIE activities.
For information about how to learn more about the FIE program, or to schedule a no-cost Decision-Making Workshop, contact: David S. Martin, Director of Training for IC&TA, at 508-527-0460 or through Email at davidchina_2000@yahoo.com .

Hi - I would like to find out what is a healthy body fat percentage to have? Some people appear lean and healthy, but their body fat percentage may still be high - how can this be explained?
Body fat percentage can be a tricky thing to measure and there's often a good deal of confusion and heated debate about what is best. So the first thing you have to be aware of is how you measure it. I personally don't believe that the skinfold method, done with calipers is a very good and accurate method. I think it depends on the measurer and this is very unreliable. That's why infra red, impedance and Xray methods are preferable.

An recent article on agroforestry served as an excellent illustration of the way that silvopasture can turn problem fields into prime pastures.
The land in question, a floodplain site at a North Carolina State University research farm, had patchy soils with concentrations of both sand and clay. The sandy areas dry out quickly, especially under tillage, losing organic matter and failing to hold enough water to support crops during rain-free spells.
The tight clay patches, on the other hand, remain inundated for long periods after flooding, causing crop damage and even loss.
Both trees and perennial pasture grasses have deeper and more extensive root systems that allow them to withstand such shallow-soil moisture fluctuations. Instead of losing money year after year on drought- and flood-stricken crops, the floodplain land can produce income from cattle, and, in the long term, from timber harvest as well.
Today there seems to be a resurging interest in local grains and heirloom grain varieties. When we think of wheat today, most envision large combines on the Great Plains or Pacific Northwest. People are waking up to the idea that grain crops used to be grown on small farms throughout the United States, outside of today’s commodity wheat production regions.

As a result, Verizon has decided to combat this security vulnerability by launching a VPN for their customers, Safe Wi-Fi. This new service protects personal data from prying eyes, and blocks advertisement trackers by using VPN encryption. Safe Wi-Fi is available on iOS and Android devices for a fee of $3.99 per month, and can cover up to 10 devices linked to a Verizon account. Considering how much the theft of personal information might cost a user, this is a small price to pay for keeping important data secure.

sounds good, are you going to try and do a mini mash or just steeping?
the 2 row should be mashed IMO, but i have steeped it too.
specialty malts like crystal 10l-120l and chocolate malt are great for steeping.
if you steep them at 150f-170F for 30 minutes you should notice a difference in your beer.
it should have a little more body and some freshness to it.
go easy with the honey malt, it tends to leave some sweetness behind. at least thats what i have found. did you get the grains crushed already?
keep us posted on what you do.
great, remember give it the full 14 days before bottling or kegging.
That brew sounds like is will be nice. I recently did a Coopers Canadian blonde with just a steep of 150g of Crystal 60, all DME and some simcoe hops, turned out fantastic. Using an alternative to the Coopers yeast is a good idea as well, Us-05 is a great yeast to use over the supplied kit yeast. Used as a base these kits can be tweaked to get a great brew.

Vamos Adelante has decided to give out special, full scholarships for the 2019 school year to Fuego victims, particularly the older students who cannot afford to pay the high costs.
Volunteers from our Ceylan lunch kitchen and other volunteers from a emergency lunch kitchen in Alotenango are receiving a three-day cooking training course by World Central Kitchen. We’re looking forward to them applying what they learn at our lunch kitchen in Ceylan!
We recently donated 144 solar lamps to the people from the village La Trinidad, who recently have been moved to the area of La Industria. Many of their temporary houses are still lacking electricity. We just purchased another 400 solar lamps last week to distribute soon. They lamps are great and can last up to 36 hours on low mode. Cell phones can also be charged on them, which is very important during a possible emergency, but also excellent to have on a daily basis as the electricity often fails in the villages. The lamps can be hand carried, hung in the house or they can stand on table since they have bases. Immediately following the June 2018 eruption, Vamos Adelante donated many of these to the surviving victims in “Zona Cero”. This particular model we’re distributing is very sturdy, easy to use and charge, and we have had excellent experience with it so far. Affected families have urged us to please donate more of these lamps. When evacuations take place at night, the lamps have proven to be enormously helpful. Also, during a strong eruption, even during daylight hours, it becomes very dark due to ash and debris coming from the crater. They are also helpful in the shelters since lack of electricity in the shelters was big problem after the disaster in June 2018.
The volcano Fuego calmed down somewhat for about two weeks in December, but is now rather active and makes sounds we are not very familiar with. Lava flow comes all the way down the sides on certain days, but when it is not raining it cools down and the lava stays about half way down the mountain. We feel and see ash regularly. The crater, according to the news, is filled to the top with lava. The work on the major highway continues and it has been open.
An early warning system for quick evacuation has been donated, was installed and is now activated in La Reina, close to El Rodeo. Supposedly 26 more systems will be donated to the surrounding villages.
The housing situation for the people from “Zona Cero”, San Miguel Los Lotes and El Barrio, the two villages, which were declared as not livable any longer is slowly improving for many. They are presently living in temporary houses provided by the government in a central area of Escuintla and received food 3 times a day until December 31, 2018. Most receive Q 3500 monthly, which is about US $ 470 for ten months to sustain themselves.
A group from Los Lotes initially rejected the permanent houses and land, which the government has in mind donating to them, claiming the area is too small, 7m x 11.50m = 2 bedrooms,1 living room, a small patio and area to park a car. The construction materials have been improved much compared to the first draft and the house will be built sufficiently strong to eventually support a second floor. The Los Lotes committee suggested to give each family the money estimated for the land and construction instead, which was rejected by the governor. As a matter of fact he stopped the construction and all machinery was removed. Negotiations continued and now Los Lotes has accepted the house design but will have to wait for their turn until the El Barrio houses are complete.
Phase 2: the construction of about another 60 houses will then follow.
Private organizations, churches, individuals are building houses in different locations and Israel donated a big amount for the same purpose, all being donated to Fuego victims.

Mark Hamill trades in his glowing lightsaber for a gleaming metal sword this March for the sophomore season of History's medieval drama, Knightfall.
He joins star Tom Cullen in eight all-new episodes chronicling the demise of the powerful, wealthy and mysterious military order, the Knights Templar during the Middle Ages.
The series continues to explore the men who wear the iconic red cross as 'God's Executioners' and the medieval politics, warfare, religion and royalty affecting the clandestine brotherhood of warrior monks.
These dramatic season two billboards were photographed along the Sunset Strip, San Vicente Boulevard, Pico Boulevard and Beverly Boulevard from February 22 to March 16, 2019.
Fans of the historical drama can also enjoy these season one billboards for Knightfall and Mark Hamill admirers can check out his Star Wars: The Last Jedi billboard.
Let's see if Mark Hamill will be as wise as 'Yoda' as the battle-hardened veteran knight of the Templar Order when he joins the show on the small screen this spring.

A lifetime member of the Canadian Kennel Club, a founding member of the Pomeranian Club of Canada and the Canadian Finnish Spitz Club and a 25 year member of the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Club of Canada -- I have been raising dogs for almost 40 years!
After saving money from my paper route, I bought my first show dog in 1975 – a Finnish Spitz puppy from Joan Grant of Jayenn Kennels. I originally contacted Joan about buying a Pomeranian out of the 1974 Dogs Annual (the first ever edition) and she kindly corresponded with an eager 12-year old about getting a Pomeranian. We made arrangements for me to pick up my puppy near Christmas break so that I would have lots of time for her. Sadly she succumbed to what we think was hypoglycemia and she died before I got her. Joan did not have another Pom pup to offer me but she did have a Finnish Spitz. I was interested in this rare breed and decided to take on a 7 month old puppy. “Jayenn’s Naughty Net-No-Qua” was my introduction to Finnish Spitz and to the world of show dogs.
In 1978 I raised my first litter of Finnish Spitz and also finally got my first Pomeranians. Under the excellent tutelage of Joan Grant, I have been devoted to raising the best quality in both breeds ever since. My experience having her mentorship in these two breeds has made me the successful breeder I am today.
In 1987 I had a boyfriend who wanted a retriever for hunting. He wanted a Lab. I suggested he look at other breeds suggesting something unusual like the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. We added a new breed to our household with an amazing dog “Westerlea’s Ilo at the Well" bred by Alison Strang. “Ilo” soon became a top winning show dog, a Best in Show, Best in Specialty Show and Best Puppy in Show winner, one of my first Companion Dog- titled obedience dog and an amazing hunting companion. With “Ilo” as my introduction to the breed, I looked for some other quality Tollers to develop a breeding program and was lucky enough to be able to take over the Chin-Peek dogs of Toller pioneer, Mrs. Hettie Bidewell. When my boyfriend and I parted ways, I took the Tollers with me leaving him only “Ilo”, his hunting buddy. All my Tollers today are descended from “Ilo” and “Chin-Peek Kitt’s Barney” and “Chin-Peek Maybelle”. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had such a great start in the breed.
I bring 40 years of pedigree study, devotion to health, expert whelping and puppy rearing and most importantly evaluation and careful placement of puppies to every puppy sale I make. It is my goal with every litter I raise to match the ideal puppy to the ideal home. My success in the show ring, in mentoring new breeders and in delighting hunting and family homes is a testament to my many years of dedication to the Pomeranian, the Finnish Spitz and the Toller.

Completed in 1903, for John A. McCall (1849-1906) and his wife Mary Ignatius Horan (d.1935). This 52-room mansion - the first of two built on the same site - had a short and chequered history. It was home to two convicted Wall Street crooks and a President. One critic described the architecture as "all design and no rhetoric" while others enthusiastically hailed it as "a palace". In 1916, it was used by Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924), 28th President of the United States, as his Summer White House. But, it burned down in 1927 and was replaced with an even larger mansion - Shadow Lawn (1929) - that for several years retained it's predecessors name until it was purchased by Monmouth University and renamed Woodrow Wilson Hall.
McCall was the President of the New York Life Insurance Company. Nearing retirement in 1902, he purchased the Hulick farm of 27-acres on Cedar and Norwood Avenues. He added to the estate until it encompassed 65-acres, buying neighbouring land from archeologist Charles Conrad Abbott (1843-1919) and actress/playwright, Ettie Henderson. McCall then employed architect Henry E. Cregier (son of the Mayor of Chicago) to build a house, "suggestive of the grandeur of the Alhambra, the Petit Trianon, and Sanssouci".
Situated on a grassy knoll some 50-feet above the ocean, McCall's modified colonial summer home was complete by August 1903. The 52-room mansion of three stories was dominated by two vast porticos and named for the clusters of great trees that threw shadows over the lawn. On top of the third floor was an atrium and two pillared lookout towers from which to enjoy the view over the estate and down to the sea.
The semi-circular front portico towered over the formal gardens and terraces, descending to a long lawn that ran down to Whale Pond Brook at the end of Norwood Avenue. The brook itself had been dammed to create a lake on which two gazebos were built. The mansion boasted gold-plated plumbing and three conservatories that produced grapes, peaches and pears. The original old farmhouse was converted into a carriage house - with it's own windmill and water tower.
McCall did not get long to enjoy his new home. In 1905, the same year that Murry Guggenheim (1858-1939) moved in across the street to the Guggenheim Cottage, McCall was found guilty of bribing state legislators with $275,000 of company money. He resigned his position and was ordered to repay the amount, which meant he had to sell Shadow Lawn after having enjoyed it for barely three summers.
Shortly before his death the following year, McCall sold the mansion for $350,000 to New York attorney Myron H. Oppenheim. His intention make Shadow Lawn the center-piece of what he hoped would become the Brook Lawn Country Club. But, within a year (1906) his plans had failed to come to fruition and this time for $500,000 it was sold once again. The new buyer was the early 20th century's answer to the "Wolf of Wall Street", Abraham White, more favorably known as "the postage stamp capitalist" whose ego couldn't resist the urge of immediately renaming the estate White Park.
A crook he was, but a romantic he might have been: White had claimed that he purchased Shadow Lawn for his wife who he reckoned to have the most beautiful voice in America. However, despite her highly touted talent, she refused to sing in public. White therefore hoped that the beauty of the mezzanine floor would result in her breaking out of her shell and performing - at the very least - to her friends.
As quickly as White had made his money, so he lost the house in equal style. In the same year that he bought Shadow Lawn, his realty company that was to pay the $100,000 mortgage was foreclosed. Nonetheless, White still managed to strip out and sell off all the McCall's silver chandeliers and doorknobs, as well as not paying any of the tradesman for works throughout the year. He snuck out of town to run back to Texas before finally being convicted in 1910 for larceny - when the records on him go quiet.
Once again, the mansion came back to Oppenheim when re-purchased it at the ensuing sheriff's auction, for $125,000. Due to poor credit, Oppenheim put it in the name of his business partner, Robert L. Smith, and for a brief period his dream was realised as it became the Brook Lawn Country Club. It didn't last, and in 1909 it was sold to the fifth owner in seven years - Colonel Joseph Benedict Greenhut (1843-1918).
Very large, with a staircase, wide enough for an army abreast, opposite the front door. This staircase ended in a big platform on which rested a grand piano. Then the stairs parted to run in opposite directions as if each was ashamed of the other... When we got settled, we were happy and comfortable at Shadow Lawn.
Two flights of stone steps run up the terraces to the top of the rise of ground on which the house is built. The entrance is guarded by a large dome, level with the roof of the second floor, supported by eight columns. A porch of about 250 feet in length runs about the north, east and south sides of the house, commanding a view of the ocean and beautiful country. The building is of wood painted white and of stone.
In 1918, Greenhut died, and his heirs sold Shadow Lawn for $800,000 to Hubert Templeton Parson (1872-1940). On taking ownership, he increased the estate to 108-acres; instructed a $1 million renovation of the house; and, spent a further $1.25 million furnishing his summer home. Shadow Lawn's brief and chequered history was brought to an end by a fire on January 27, 1927. Parson replaced it with the 130-room mansion found there today - the 5th largest house in the United States - Shadow Lawn (1929).

Southern hospitality was at its finest the weekend of January 27-28 at EP Tom Sawyer State Park in Louisville, Kentucky. The following post and results were provided by the fabulous Oakle “Pete” Petrey.
The gym was rocking last weekend as Rodney (Rocket) Grubbs led a strong group of out-of-town players to the Inaugural E. P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park Pickleball Tournament. And, they took a big chunk of the medals home with them!
placed second in the MIXED DOUBLES event, won by Niles Cline and Diana Phillips, of Northern Kentucky.
Local players managed to hold there own, however, winning medals in each of the four events. Brenda Ferrell and Francie Kammer won the LADIES DOUBLES, and the team of John Tackett and Susan Kenney* edged out Ron Knorpp and Paul Cline for second place in MENS DOUBLES. Susan*and Chrissy Haywood finished third in MIXED DOUBLES.
*Although definitely not male, Susan Kenney was coaxed into playing in the MENS and MIXED DOUBLES because the men were short one player. One pundit named her the “Boy named Sue, Sounds like a good name for a song?
All of us are indebted to John Tackett for his herculean efforts in launching what, hopefully, will become an annual event at Sawyer Park. We gratefully acknowledge all the work done by many of the Sawyer Park staff, led by Zack Potts and Nick Price.
Bill and Nancy deserve special thanks. They arrived at 7:15 a.m. to welcome everyone.
The Hospitality Room was a huge success and all of the many who made contributions earned our gratitude of a job very well done.
Last, but not least was the appreciative crowd that supported the players. The WAVE that went around the gym several times was really great.

Pete Bardens was actually a veteran R artist. He played with Them, Peter B's, Shotgun Express and Village before forming Camel in 1972. He also recorded several solo albums. The other three members had previously played together in a band called Brew and also worked with Philip Goodhand-Tait.
It was the instrumental album, The Snow Goose, which really put the group into the big time. It was inspired by Paul Gallico's novel 'The Snow Goose' and was undoubtedly one of the finest classical-influenced albums of the seventies - beautifully soothing and relaxing in places. They also performed it live at the Albert Hall in October 1975, backed by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Bedford.

this may get confusing so feel free to ask questions to clarify.
I have 2 computers. A laptop that was upgraded from xp to vista home premium. And an hp pavillion deskdop that came with home premium installed. with the desktop I didn't get a recovery disk or a windows install disk with it. And i was stupid enough to not do the back up disks that they suggest when you first buy the computer.
I need to do a clean install on my desktop. I don't want to pay the money to buy windows new. I have my upgrade disk from when I upgraded the laptop.
my question is, can i do a clean install using the upgrade disk but using my key code from the desktop?
Hi Amberly, welcome to NST.
That should work fine, though the DVD, being an upgrade, might want you to provide proof of a qualifying previous system (an old XP CD). If you're installing it directly over the existing Vista though, it'll probably skip that check.
Best get into the recovery environment and create those backup disks before putting XP on the PC.
Remember that the Vista licence is a fair chunk of the value of the PC. Best protect your investment by keeping it available should you want to sell the PC in the future.
If you have a friend with a retail Vista DVD (any variety will do, they're all included on the same DVD), you could try a clean install of Vista using your PC key not the one on the DVD. That will put a clean copy of Vista on the PC without all the bundled rubbish. Setup will automatically install the correct version for which your PC is licenced from the information contained in the key.
Vista will support all of the features of the PC. Chances are, that your XP CD might be too old to contain all of the necessary drivers for your PC (SATA HDD for example) and will need them downloaded from the manufacturer and F6'd into the install on a floppy disk.
i wasn't planning on putting xp on this computer. I was just going to do a clean install of vista. And when you say it doesn't matter which disk to use b/c all versions are on it, does that include the upgrade disc? I mean, is the full version on the upgrade disc asw long as i have my full version key?
Yes, they all contain all flavours (except OEM DVDs are either 64 or 32bit, not both). The key tells setup what to install. The only difference with a upgrade version is that setup will demand proof of eligibility (a previous qualifying OS CD) if you want to do a clean install and it can't see the old OS.

There’s been a lot of attention on one of my favourite SEO issues recently, particularly, duplicate content. “dupe content” is just one of those subjects that never go away. Why? It seems that for every fix we apply to sort the problem out, an entirely new kind of duplicate content can occur. The other problem is that it takes a while for an inexperienced SEO to learn enough about the problem, how to diagnose it, and how to solve it on their site once and for all.
tag to sort it out. This is all fine, but what if you don’t have that kind of issue, or you have pagination, you’ve fixed it, but you still have other problems?
The ultimate irony. Google blog and offer advice about reducing duplicate content. They also have an analytics package whose tracking codes are littered all over the internet which is causing heaps of the stuff. How can you prevent leaking a tracking code like ?utm_source= when you need to track the ROI of the link? Use a java onclick event.
Hiding tracking code (or any query string) from search engines can be useful, but what if that code is already in the index? We’ll come on to that in a moment.
Most SEO blogs say “don’t use session id’s”. That’s great advice – most recent content management systems no longer use session id’s. That’s not to say that legacy content management systems should be binned.
If you have a site index full of session_id’s, you might want to consider setting up a conditional 301 redirect to send any known search bot back to the canonical version of the URL. I call this “session stripping”, detecting the user agent on every url and 301ing out any query string or session id that will cause duplicate content in a search engine index. My good friend Gareth Jenkins is working with me on a technical post on how to do just that in ASP code. Subscribe to my RSS feed and you’ll get it in a few days time.
See? That session id is cleaned out when you’re Googlebot but not when you’re a user. Introducing this method has the added benefit of cleaning up the site index, every session id that gets recrawled is 301 redirected to the canonical form, so after a few weeks your entire site index is cleaned out. This is technically known as conditional redirecting and there’s a lot of debate at the moment of the white hatted-ness of the procedure. I personally think this kind of conditional redirection is ok. You’re making it easier for search engines to crawl your site, and you’re not cloaking your content at all. What’s the problem?
Another good post. Another way to fix this (though slightly more technical) is to 301 redirect from your tracking URLs to the canonical version. This will still let you track using a lot of analytics packages.
With Google executing JS on trusted sites, especially where the url is obvious in the js, I wouldn’t trust onclick to avoid dupe content. my untested 2 pence.
Hey Tbone, I think it does matter. The other problem you have is Google’s extremely aggressive discovery methods. They’re definitely using toolbar data and http refers for discovery so it’s very hard to tell what’s going on without a really full investigation.
I have had a problem before with this sort of setup where google discovered both ways into the site and penalised me for duplicate content.
Unfortunately I cannot turn Userdir off.
Is there a way of preventing this sort of leak with htaccess or robots.txt?

Ungli Mat Kar is a solo show by Kishore Dayani.
Kishore Dayani comes from Bihar. He is a mix of various cultures, which kind of makes him a confused mix of ethnicities. He is cynical about things which are happening in the society. He at large talks about what has been happening in his life and how day to day things effect him. How being a Bihari, he was a misfit in the fast-paced life of Delhi and how he coped with that. Watch his as he adds a pinch of sarcasm and a dash of satire in everything that he says and does. He has recently turned down marriage proposals from Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif. Ungli Mat Kar is something which he says at the end of every conversation.

For many decades, Cumbrian planners have tried to create economic growth by backing large Cumbrian industries. This is understandable because our industrial revolution was a miracle. The slow growth of our traditional rural economy, celebrated by Wordsworth, was blown apart in the second half of the nineteenth century, as we tore into the land, extracting slate and iron ore, and above all coal. In the fifty years leading up to the First World War, coal production quadrupled. Pits, and then factories, provided employment for tens of thousands. Cumbrian farmers poured from the fellsides to the West Coast, ribbons of brick nineteenth-century terraces emerged on bare moorland, grand municipal buildings dominated new towns – and the owners, at least, became very wealthy.
But our Cumbrian industry was far more fragile than the industry of the Midlands or indeed the American mid-West. And this reflected fundamental facts of geography. Cumbrian factories were too far from major population centres. They were neither able to access the quantity of labour, nor were they close enough to a mass customer base. So Cumbria was already in trouble before German and US manufacturing began to outcompete Britain in the 1890s, and long before coal production and employment began its decline in 1914. By 1930 most of the population of West Cumbria was unemployed. And it was already clear that it was going to find it very difficult to sustain any industries into the future.
Cumbria chose to resist the flow of this economic history. The champion of the policy was Jack Adams, who drove Cumbrian investments from 1920 to 1960. First as a Labour councillor and then as the Chief of the “Cumberland Development Council” and the “West Cumberland Industrial Development Co. Ltd”, he brought government loans and guarantees to reintroduce industries ranging from silk-weaving and soap, to the manufacture of fissile material for nuclear bombs. Great energy – and often a great deal of government money – was devoted to persuading businessmen such as the Hungarians Mike Sekers and Tomi de Gara in 1938, and the Austrian Frank Schon in 1940, to locate their factories in Cumbria. The Wigton factory, which prints the five pound note, is a survivor of this period. But the fundamental barriers of our remote location, and low population remained. And most of these enterprises ultimately collapsed – in some cases, it was a change in global markets; in others, the owners left when the subsidies dried up, and sold the equipment to India.
Some of the attempts to bring industry back were more tragic. The Williams coal mine at Whitehaven – famous for its poor ventilation and working methods – had become unprofitable by the 1920s, and went bankrupt in 1933, by which time it had, according to the Chief inspector ‘probably the blackest record in the annals of coal mining” with four major explosions in the previous twenty years (in one of which 136 people had been killed). But undeterred, Jack Adams – whose own father had been killed in a mining accident when he was four – persuaded the charity, the Nuffield Trust to issue a substantial loan to reopen the pit in 1937. The new owners embarked on a highly expensive program of improvements, at the end of which, there was another explosion at the mine killing 104 men. Shortly after Adams had been made a hereditary peer by the Atlee government – in recognition of his attempts to sustain such industries – the National Coal Board finally closed the mine.
None of the valiant efforts of development corporations, politicians and the treasury over eighty years were able to create enduring industrial prosperity in West Cumbria. It remains one of the most deprived areas in Britain. And only the special government cases of the nuclear and the defence industry – still backed by Billions of pounds from tax-payers – were able in the long-term to escape the pressures of the global markets.
Meanwhile, East Cumbria, which received very little attention, almost no industrial subsidy, and has never matched traditional models for economic growth – took off. Its very lack of factories – once decried – proved increasingly to be the secret of its success, because it preserved an unspoilt landscape, which attracted talented people to work, and millions of tourists to visit. Its growth and employment did not come from large employers, but from tens of thousands of micro-businesses, which remain to this day largely unstudied, and unrecorded. Their sheer diversity – from guitar design, to drone mapping, from UV water purification, to chocolate pudding manufacture – is the key to the area’s resilience. It is not vulnerable to the sudden collapse of sectors employing thousands.
Which leaves me with a thought. When planners talk about growth in Cumbria they still seem to think in terms of factories, and subsidising large employers. But what would have happened if over the last century, instead of trying to re-industrialise Cumbria, the same energy and resources had been invested in sensitively preserving and developing the skills and environment which could support our rural heritage and micro-businesses. Adams would answer that it was neither realistic nor just to expect ex-industrial workers to flourish in small (and to his mind insecure and low wage) rural businesses. But I still feel we could have done much more to follow the path of rural development of Switzerland or the Austrian Alps – developing an economy based on an upland landscape, on small farms, on high quality food, on small business and on high-end tourism. What, in short, if, Cumbria had pursued an industrial policy which embraced our remote location, and sparse population, our unique landscape and history, instead of trying to fight our identity?

The many benefits of on the web learning rise above simple convenience. Making a qualification online will allow you to fit training within busy day-to-day schedule and secure or advance inside current work, and/or enter a new industry or occupation. Unique education teachers taking classes on the web can access their course product if it is convenient, meaning they could devote the full time and attention their current pupils require without neglecting their studies.
You can pick the system of one’s fantasies in conventional training, too, but that would involve traveling away from home, located in an entirely unknown town, and struggling in an extremely competitive learning environment. Some programs require internships, which may unnecessarily extend the full time of conclusion for a professional searching for an MBA as a springboard for a promotion.
a nurse with a bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN) who would like to make a master’s degree in nursing (MSN) could join a BSN to MSN bridge system. This guide functions as an easy introduction to accelerated on the buy online degrees web bachelor degree programs, however it is by no means comprehensive. However, top on line legislation schools can only just cost around $30,000 for a juris doctorate.
The easy reply to this might be no. Accelerated online level programs aim to ensure pupils walk away with the exact same discipline-specific knowledge they would in a conventional system – they just reduce extraneous courses or address product quicker. Students may discuss projects in online discussion boards or collaborate on team projects via Skype.
In a normal university, We’d have to devote a substantial part of my time to such things as gen-ed classes. Classes online are no easier than classes offered in the standard classroom environment and in some cases may be even be much more difficult. Plus, with little course sizes and caring teachers, you’ll gain from knowing whom you are working – and learning – with.
Though free time in the U.S. has increased throughout the last 50 years, the rapid development of technology has provided many new methods to fill that gained spare time.2 New possibilities to apply down-time towards something useful and productive have actually emerged, such as the possibility to get back to college to earn a graduate level from a world-class institution.

Have you ever seen a painting so vibrant that the figures seem to leap out of the canvas? At the Hammer-stein Ballroom in New York last summer, they actually did.
For its holiday gift-package launch, Parfums Givenchy had asked David Skovron, owner of New York-based DSA Productions, to use a painting by the contemporary American artist LeRoy Neiman as part of the decor theme for the event. The painting features the Givenchy boutique in Paris.
Skovron knew his design had to be original. "The guests-fashion and fragrance editors-go to a zillion events," he says. "I would have been dead in the water with a cookie cutter idea."
To impress the sophisticated guests, Skovron designed a giant 3-D version of the painting. He then recruited New York-based production services company Entolo, which provided a 20-by-30-foot aluminum screen and a raked stage 8 feet off the ground to serve as the canvas. Next, scenic designer Patrick Fahey of New York rendered a version of the background of the Neiman painting including the facade of the Givenchy boutique. This version was then transferred to a Pani slide and projected onto the screen. To re-create the foreground in 3-D, Entolo custom-built the characters in the painting out of industrial foam board and placed them on the stage.
To complement the giant "painting," the team created an outdoor atmosphere. "When you walk out of the Givenchy boutique in Paris, you face a park; so I covered the area around the stage in fake grass," notes Skovron. Keeping with the park theme, he brought in 200 benches from New York-based Central Props. Leaf-pattern lighting, achieved with a gobo, rounded out the outdoor atmosphere.
However, the vast amount of space formed a challenge in preserving this intimate park feel. "The Hammerstein has room for 2,500, and this event was for only 200 guests," says Skovron. To make sure guests didn't feel lost in the giant venue, Entolo placed colorful 28-by-12-foot theatrical flats around the circumference of the room. "It pulled everything together and centered the attention onto the stage," Skovron notes.
In addition to the flats, Skovron created intimacy by hiding the venue's high ceiling. "Givenchy gave me 17 of its couture gowns to use as part of the decor," he notes. After putting them on dress forms, he suspended the dresses above the flats. Each dress received a single spotlight; otherwise, the ceiling remained dark.
"The gowns arrested your vision, creating a false ceiling," Skovron notes. "It was a real smoke and mirrors endeavor-all without the use of flashy technology or special effects."-T.M.

Ever feel a bit bloated, particularly around your stomach region? Chances are you’re retaining a bit of water.
Also known as water weight, this kind of bloating can puff up your tummy, arms and legs.
Your body is made up of around 50 to 60% water. When those levels push higher, the extra water is referred to as water weight. This water alone can make your weight fluctuate by 1 to 2 kgs in just one day.
Although severe water retention can be a sign of something serious like heart or kidney disease, milder cases are generally pretty common and less of a worry.
However, the bloating and puffiness that comes with it can be uncomfortable, so why not take some steps to try and miminise it?
Consuming too much salt can cause immediate water retention. Why? Because the body needs to keep its sodium-to-water ratio in check, so it will hold on to water if you take in too much salt.
Aim for no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. It’s not as simple as pushing the salt cellar to the back of the cupboard as salt is hidden in most processed foods. We’re talking things like cheese, cold meat, bread, frozen meals and snacks. In fact, 75% of the salt we consume is from these sources.
Instead of processed food, try to eat more natural things like veggies, nuts, and seeds which are very low in sodium.
And opt for foods which can even help reduce sodium levels, like bananas, avocados, and leafy vegetables.
Believe it or not, water retention can actually be a sign of dehydration.
When you’re parched, the body holds onto its water to keep you hydrated while no new water is coming in.
In addition, water improves kidney function, helping excess water and sodium to be flushed out of the system.
So how much should you be aiming for? Around 2 litres per day is the standard recommendation for adults but sometime you may need a little more, for example if you’re exercising.
Consuming carbohydrates can also make the body store water.
Here’s the science. When we eat carbs, the energy that we do not use right away is stored as glycogen molecules. Each gram of glycogen comes with 3 g of water attached.
Cutting down on carbs is a quick way to use up your glycogen stores, which means that the water weight will also be reduced.
If you’ve been going too heavy on the carbs, try switching with high protein foods like lean meat, eggs and soy to help reduce water retention.
Some supplements can act as remedies for water retention.
For example, vitamin B-6 and magnesium oxide help the kidneys flush extra water and sodium from the system.
Both have been shown to help reduce abdominal bloating and swelling in the legs.
But talk to a professional before you start taking any new supplements to avoid any unwanted side effects.
A sweaty session in the gym will help you get rid if any excess water pretty much straight away.
Not only that, but exercise will boost blood flow and improve circulation. This can help reduce water retention, particularly in your legs and feet.
It will also burning through your glycogen energy stores (see above) thereby reducing water weight.
But that doesn’t mean you should forget to hydrate before, during and after your workout. You still need to keep those water levels topped up to prevent dehydration.

If you’re looking to choose between iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 Plus, the most obvious difference is the screen. While iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch screen, iPhone 8 Plus has the larger 5.5-inch display. It also has True Tone capability (adjusting colours so that it stays looking natural in different lights) so it’s easier on the eye and better for watching video on the go.
Another thing you’ll notice about iPhone 8 Plus is that it has a glass finish on the back. This it allows it to feature a new wireless charging system – compatible with the Qi wireless charging points that can already be found in some airports and hotels. A great feature of Apple’s own charging pads is that you can see the battery status of your Apple Watch and AirPods on the screen of your iPhone Plus alongside its own status.
iPhone 8 Plus also features dual 12-megapixel cameras that work together to give better performance in low light, create special effects and even allow 2X optical zoom. This means you can get closer to your subject without any loss of quality. It also features a new Portrait Lighting mode so you can create brilliant selfies.
And of course, iPhone 8 Plus comes equipped with Apple’s impressive A11 Bionic processor. With 6 cores working together, you’ll enjoy a smoother gaming experience than with any previous model. As for battery life, it’s on a par with iPhone 7 Plus, but now has the ability to charge more quickly – up to 50% in 30 minutes.
It’s no surprise that iPhone 8 Plus comes out better in a head-to-head against iPhone 7. If you’re not looking for a large format phone, iPhone 7 has plenty to offer – but for those extra luxurious touches (too many to mention here) iPhone 8 comes out on top.

Despite vocal opposition from businesses, advisers, and prominent members of his own party, President Donald Trump announced today that he would take America out of the Paris Agreement. The historic climate deal was developed in 2015 and signed by over 190 nations. The U.S. now joins Nicaragua and Syria as the only nations within the United Nations not subject to the agreement.
Williams explained that while some industries would be hurt (like coal mining or oil production), other industries (like the renewable energy sector) would gain new jobs as America came into compliance with the agreement.
Trump’s decision will only deepen the growing rift between the U.S. and the rest of the world. Exiting the deal shows that the U.S. is unwilling to follow through on its promises, and will hurt America’s reputation on the world stage.
The U.S. contributes more greenhouse gas emissions than any other nation except China. Climate scientists have warned that even with the passage of the Paris Agreement, average global temperatures are expected to rise by at least 2 degrees Celsius (about 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit). Warming greater than that would lead to catastrophic flooding, drought, extinctions, refugee crises, and war.
Now that the U.S. is out of the deal and on track to completely eliminate its environmental protections, the painful effects of climate change will likely accelerate.
Some observers are more sanguine. They cite recent economic trends – namely, the falling cost of natural gas and renewables against the high cost of fossil fuels – as reason for optimism. In a recent interview with NBC, J. Timmons Roberts, an environmental studies professor at Brown University, said that the U.S. might meet its emissions reduction targets even in the absence of a binding agreement.
California and some other states have pledged to increase their environmental regulations in response to Trump removing the U.S. from the agreement.
In his comments, Trump did leave open the possibility of renegotiating the deal along lines that he finds more amenable. But it remains unclear what such a renegotiated deal would look like, or if such a deal is even possible.
Trump will have to wait until the end of 2019 to completely exit the deal. But he could accelerate the exit process by canceling the domestic climate treaty linked to the Paris Agreement.
By ending environmental protections in the U.S. and canceling America’s commitments under the Paris Agreement, Trump poses a true danger not only to the country, but to the world.

Many farmers are at present experiencing very difficult circumstances especially as far as finances are concerned due to the affects of the drought. And these circumstances are becoming even more concerning especially in those areas hard hit by the drought, mainly the summer grain production areas. And then we still have to face the normally difficult months of August, September and October.
Under these circumstances one tends to become very vulnerable to change what one has been doing. Furthermore, many farmers are naturally inclined to try new things. One could also now easily be challenged by so-called advisors to change. Be aware, it is easy to get carried away…and to lose money.
It is just human to consider different plans to overcome the difficult position you might be in now. However, be very careful. You must first overcome all the negatives of your present circumstances. Instead of attempting to make new plans now, focus on your present farming. You are most probably in dire straits regarding your finances; therefore do not take any chances now.
We are not saying there should be no change, far from that, but there are times to change and times not to change. Now whilst we are still experiencing the affects of the drought is not the time for major changes. Interesting, when looking around you – you will notice that basically all our successful commercial farmers are still farming with the one or two enterprises they started with many years ago. As of late there were also a number of articles in agricultural magazines of successful emerging commercial farmers. What have they got in common? They have stuck to the enterprises that they have started with and are becoming champion farmers of these enterprises, be it crops and or livestock. What has changed is their production methods, the equipment they use and the marketing of their products.
As an example – the biggest tomato farmer in South Africa started with a single hectare many years ago. He stayed focused on tomatoes because that was the crop he liked and he expanded his operations slowly by growing quality products and supplying the markets for twelve months every year.
Today, that company farms more than 1 500 hectares of tomatoes at any one time and their quality remains consistently the best. Why? Because they stayed focused. The one thing that has changed over the years is their production method that has kept up with the latest and newest technology available. And yes, they have included new enterprise but they still focus on tomatoes as their main crop.
For now focus on what you've got and do it properly. Instead of trying to make new plans now rather use the time to analyse your existing production and management thoroughly. Cover all the areas of management, production, purchase, marketing, financial, human resources, administrative, public relations, asset and stock and general management.
This drought has once again taught us that regarding the weather especially rainfall, our country goes through cycles. We are now experiencing a drought but climatic conditions will normalise again. We will experience normal years and even above normal years again and that will be the time to try new things. And that is the challenge – to stay in the business of farming over the long term, you must improve your business. All we are saying is to affect major changes now, is not the right time.
Unfortunately, remember you will again experience difficult seasons.
Focus on your present production and stay true to your crop/s which you have been producing and that you like. Compile a proper production management programme or improve your existing programme. Remember, a production management programme is a written, step by step description of the production process of a specific enterprise. It addresses the question “How to produce” in full.
From that attend to your budget. A budget is defined as a written plan of future actions, expressed in physical and financial quantities. Without a budget and without using it properly you will not survive over the long term.
Also focus on your natural resources. Is all your soil classified according to potential, and are you utilising the soil according to it’s potential? Should you be forced to plant less the coming season due to financial reasons ensure to plant on your high potential soils.
Focus on your existing equipment as far as it is financially possible. Are they in a good working condition and ready for a new season? Maintain and repair them to the best of your ability. And do not forget about the marketing of your product/s.
To summarise, stay focused on your existing farming business and produce the best product/s possible. Do not chop and change, rather become a champion with what you are doing and like to do.

Home Technology How to install PostgreSQL on OpenSUSE 15?
The development of applications every day yields more and more fruits, but also more demanding. That’s why you need more and better database managers. There is a very good one like MariaDB, however, for big projects developers prefer PostgreSQL. Using PostgreSQL on a server with OpenSUSE or SUSE is a guarantee of success and reliability. Therefore, today I will teach you how to install PostgreSQL on OpenSUSE 15.
PostgreSQL is perhaps one of the best-known database managers in the world. However, there are people and developers who do not know it. So, in short, I will tell you that it is open source, quite secure and with great performance for data processing. It can run great queries in pretty good times and above all, it is easy to install on a server with Linux. In its standard library of functions, there are hundreds of functions implemented, from mathematical operations to operations with character strings.
So, let’s start to install PostgreSQL on OpenSUSE.
The first step to install PostgreSQL is to update the system. It is never good to have the obsolete packages of our system, it is to have security holes and that at the computer level is almost unacceptable.
Now that you have the system updated. Security patches are available on your Linux distribution. This way you will have a more secure system and ready to start.
PostgreSQL comes in the official repositories of the distribution and its installation is quite simple. However, it is convenient to add your repository to always get the latest versions available.
This is enough, PostgreSQL is already installed but there are still other things to do.
The next step is to start PostgreSQL. To do this, we’ll use the systemctl command. First, start the service.
It is highly recommended to create an additional user other than the postgres user to access the PostgreSQL console. For that reason, we are going to create a new user and give him superuser permissions and with him, you will be able to work without problems.
Finally, grant the role to the new user.
Of course, I’m showing the syntax of the command in question, so you should replace the data with what you consider correct.
Now you can start to work with PostgreSQL.
As you can see, the installation is quite simple, but it opens up many powerful possibilities for you to use.
PostgreSQL in OpenSUSE gives guarantees of security and performance, as well as innovative programs.

Are there still plans to introudce a rating system which is not purely cumulative but moves up and down based on results to complement masterpoints?
My partner was the one who played jack of diamonds. I think it was a nice play as it gave declarer something to think about and a chance to go wrong, even though as Mike points out declarer should and did get it right.
Thank you all for the help! There's a lot of useful information here that I think will really strengthen the application.
You're right, this could be refined further, but it doesn't seem necessary. The above is likely a very close estimate.
Dave, given that someone has AKQJ of a suit, I think it is much more likely they have more than 4 than exactly 4. What we want to compare is the number of hands with AKQJ tight of clubs and the number of hands with AKQJ of clubs and more than 4 clubs.
How many hands are there with AKQJ of clubs and more than four clubs? The first four cards are still given to us, but this time we can choose any of the 48 remaining cards, so the number we want is 48C9=1677106640. However this includes all of the hands with exactly four clubs, so we must subtract those out. 48C9-39C9=1465191508, the total number of hands with AKQJ of clubs and greater than four clubs. Dividing the total number of hands with greater than four clus and AKQJ of clubs by the total number of hands with AKQJ of clubs (48C9-39C9)/48C9=87.4%. Therefore he has greater than four clubs 87.4% of the time and exactly four clubs 12.6% of the time.
2S relays 2NT, then suit bids by opener are non-forcing.
2NT by opener is non-forcing.
Suits at the three level are forcing.
I had 5-1-1-6 shape, so 3 NT wasn't a consideration. 5C was a claim if clubs split 2-1.
It seems to me that another indication that a spade lead is best is that partner could have doubled 2D with a decent 5 card diamond suit.

The General Rules are the United Methodist rule of life. “A rule of life is a pattern of spiritual disciplines that provides structure and direction for growth in holiness…. It fosters gifts of the Spirit in personal life and human community, helping to form us into the persons God intends us to be” (Marjorie Thompson in Soul Feast).
This series of essays explores the relationship between the General Rules and the Baptismal Covenant. I contend the purpose of our rule of life is to equip Christians, and congregations, to live out their baptismal covenant with God and one another. You will find the Baptismal Covenant in The United Methodist Hymnal on pages 33-39. I will focus my attention on the three questions found on page 34. The General Rules are found on pages 75-78 in The United Methodist Book of Discipline-2012. The rule of life is also available as a downloadable pdf here.
Baptism is deeply personal, but it is in no way private. It is initiation into the Church, which is a community centered in the life and mission of Jesus Christ that promises to “surround you with a community of love and forgiveness, that you may grow in your trust of God, and be found faithful in your service to others.” The church also promises to “pray for you that you may be a true disciple who walks in the way that leads to life.” Finally, the congregation promises to “do all in its power to increase your faith, confirm your hope, and perfect you in love.” The covenant makes abundantly clear that baptism marks the beginning of a way of life that is centered in “God’s mighty acts of salvation” revealed in the life and mission of Jesus Christ. Baptism, therefore, is both an event that marks you as a child of God and member of God’s household, and a way of life through which you are equipped to participate in Christ’s mission of preparing this world for the coming reign of God. The General Rules, therefore, give shape to life as participants in Christ’s mission in the world.
When you accept the waters of baptism and your place in God’s household you are expected to use the freedom and power God gives you to resist evil and injustice. Love is the power of God that overcomes evil, injustice, and oppression. Love is God’s power that defeats sin by doing good. When you engage in acts of compassion and justice with your neighbors you put the power of love to work. Loving the neighbor is your love of God at work through you in the world. For if you say you love God with all your heart, soul, and mind you must therefore love what, and whom, God loves. This means that loving God compels you to love your neighbor as yourself. Scripture tells us that our neighbor is anyone, anywhere in the world, who is hungry, thirsty, sick, imprisoned, or oppressed in any way. Our neighbor also, according to Jesus, includes those people who are enemies. We are called, and grace empowers us, to love even those who hate us and seek to do us harm. Accepting the freedom and power God gives us to resist evil and injustice means that we will live as agents of compassion and justice in the world that God loves.
When you accept the freedom and power God gives you to resist evil and injustice by doing good to all people you promise to become an advocate and companion with the poor and oppressed peoples of the world. Actively resisting evil and injustice puts you in the company of Jesus who identifies himself most closely with the victims of the powers and principalities of the world. Jesus said “just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me” (Matthew 25:40). When you love your neighbor as yourself, you reveal the character of your love for Jesus. The grace of God flows through you for the world when you open yourself to grace through acts of compassion and justice. As grace flows through you you are able to receive more and more grace that heals and makes you more and more into the person God created you to be, in the image of Christ.
Jesus told his disciples you must “love your neighbor as yourself.” The writer of 1 John bluntly states: “Those who say, ‘I love God,’ and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen. The command we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also” (1 John 4:20-21). The first two baptismal questions tell us loving our neighbor requires renouncing wickedness and evil, repentance from sin, and resisting the powers and principalities of the world. The first two General Rules tell us how to accept the freedom and power love our neighbor as ourselves: by doing no harm and doing good in the world.

Port Klang (Kelang) serves Malaysia's capital city Kuala Lumpur. The city covers an area of approx 94 ml2 (243 km2) and has population around 1,8 million (metro over 7,2 million / Greater Kuala Lumpur). Klang City is among Southeast Asia's fastest growing metro areas in terms of economy, and Malaysia's economic, cultural and financial centre.
Kuala Lumpur City was once home to executive and judicial branches of the federal government, but in early 1999 they were moved to Putrajaya. Here is located Istana Negara - the official residence of Malaysian King. The city is also home to the world's tallest twin buildings - Petronas Twin Towers, an iconic symbol of the country's futuristic development. The towers have tip height of 452 m (1483 ft). Each tower is served by 40 elevators. The project was completed in 1996 at the cost of USD 1,6 billion. The building is owned by KLCC Holdings Sdn Bhd. Below the towers is located the shopping mall Suria KLCC and the Petronas Filharmonik Hall.
Port Klang (Pelabuhan Klang) is country's largest seaport, located approx 6 km (4 ml) southwest of Klang Town, and approx 38 km (24 ml) southwest of Kuala Lumpur City. The port is ranked world's 12th busiest containership port, and world's 17th busiest by total handled cargo tonnage.
Currently, Port Klang Authority (PKA) manages 3 seaports in the area (Northport, Southpoint, Westport). Port's total cargo capacity is 109,7 million tons.
Northport comprises multipurpose port facilities and logistics services. A merger of two Malaysian companies (Kelang Container Terminal and Kelang Port Management), Northport operations also cover Southpoint and the Northport Distripark Sdn Bhd (logistics). In January 2016, MMC Corporation took over the ownership of Northport through its subsidiary company MMC Ports.
Westport (fka Kelang Multi Terminal) is the passenger (ferry and cruise) port, Port Klang Cruise Centre was inaugurated in December 1995 and has 3 berths, where passenger and naval ships can dock. The cruise terminal was previously managed by the Genting Hong Kong owned company Star Cruises, then its management took Glenn Marine Group.
On March 28, 2014, an interim privatization agreement was signed Port Klang Authority, Northport Bhd (subsidiary of MMC Corporation) and the Malaysian government, which enabled Northport Bhd to continue to manage the port until a new agreement is approved. On March 13, 2018, was signed the privatization agreement between the three parties. Northport Bhd received a 30-year concession extension (until 2048) to operate Northport and Southpoint.
In 2017-2018 (September-June), the Star Cruises liner SuperStar Libra operated on 1-3-day short breaks / mini-cruises leaving from 3 homeports - Port Klang, Penang (Malaysia) and Phuket (Thailand). Weekly were offered 2 roundtrips from Malaysia, including 3-night itinerary (Kuala Lumpur-Phuket-Penang) and 4-night itinerary (Kuala Lumpur-Langkawi Island-Phuket-Penang). The new program (also offering fly-cruise packages) allows tourists in Southeast Asia to have more flexibility to choose a departure port. Each of the 3 turnaround ports is a well-connected port city, especially Kuala Lumpur - a major flight hub in Asia.
On November 1, 2018, Westports Klang handled world's largest boxship - OOCL United Kingdom (max TEU capacity 21,413 containers). The ULCV vessel docked at Container Terminal 8 (new wharf completed in 2017) and was handled by nine ship-to-shore gantry cranes. The ship call at Westports was part of scheduled Ocean Alliance service NEU1 (Rotterdam to Xiamen).
Port Klang is the western terminus of Federal Highway (linking to Kuala Lumpur). Main roads link the port to Klang Town. Via Klang are also available bus and suburban rail service to Kuala Lumpur City. Electric trains link the port to Klang Town, Kuala Lumpur, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Tanjung Malim.
The passenger ferry terminal serves the route to Pulau Ketam. The International ferry terminal links Klang to Indonesia (Kota Tanjungbalai and Dumai).
Port Klang cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Klang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.
The Klang cruise port map is interactive. It shows the port's exact location, along with the real-time cruise ship traffic (if any) in its vicinity - today, and right now. By zooming-out you can see other cruise ship ports located near Klang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
If you lose the Klang location on the map, simply reload the page (also with F5 button). This feature is integrated with the CruiseMapper's cruise ship tracker tracking the vessels' current positions at sea and in ports.

A Keen Eye and Soft Focus, guest curated by Susan Danly, presents the work of Francis Orville Libby (1883-1961), one of Maine’s first art photographers, a leading pictorialist, and an early president of the Portland Camera Club alongside the work of contemporary photographers who share some of his early aesthetic concerns. For over a century -- from the turn of the 20th century to the 21st century of today -- art photography has included a range of approaches. From detailed, sharp focus images in black and white to softly focused pictures in muted color, modern photographers have produced a wealth of images that convey mood, artful expression, and impressionistic views of our surroundings – both rural and industrial. The exhibition will highlight work by contemporary, Maine-based photographers Judy Glickman Lauder, Koichiro Kurita, Amy Parrish, Shoshannah White, David Wolfe among others, following in Libby’s footsteps.
Guest Curator Susan Danly served as Curator of Graphics, Photography and Contemporary Art at the Portland Museum of Art (PMA) from 2002 to 2011 before becoming Senior Curator in 2012. Recently retired, Danly earned a doctorate in photographic history at Brown University. Danly previously worked at the Mead Art Museum, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Huntington Library and Art Gallery. Among her numerous publications are books on the photographs of Edward Weston and Thomas Eakins, and Georgia O’Keeffe and the Photograph. At the Portland Museum of Art, she curated numerous exhibitions devoted to the art of Maine, including three Biennial exhibitions, a series of shows dealing with historical and contemporary photography in Maine, and several exhibitions of graphics from the PMA’s permanent collection. Danly co-authored Maine Photography: A History, 1840-2015, published last year in conjunction with the Maine Photo Project.
This exhibition is co-presented by the Portland Camera Club. Click here to find out more about the club.

This weekend, on a day trip to Pisa, Sienna, and San Gimignano, I was lucky enough to consume the best gelato I have ever tasted (and after working in a gelato shop and living in Italy, I have tasted a lot of gelato!).
After snapping a few photos with the Leaning Tower of Pisa, we drove through the scenic Tuscan countryside and arrived at the historic town San Gimignano. Upon entering the city walls, visitors are surrounded by quaint shops, art galleries, and medieval architecture that the town is famous for.
The Piazza della Cisterna is named for its historic well.
This gem of a city is not only home to world famous historic architecture, but is also home to Gelateria Dondoli, also known as the most delicious gelato I’ve ever had. Sergio Dondoli, or the man behind Gelateria Dondoli, is a master ice cream maker who won the Gelato World Championship not once, but TWO times since its inception in 2002. A competitor is only allowed to win two times, until they become a judge themselves. After exploring the town for a while, naturally we had to make a stop and try it for ourselves, and we were not disappointed.
I opted for a mixture of chocolate and coffee, but there was quite a selection of unique flavors I look forward to trying in the future. The velvety texture, rich flavor, and creamy consistency were absolutely unparalleled and the entire group was in agreement that Gelateria Dondoli is not to be missed!

Date night isn’t even a thing anymore, is it? With how many amazing restaurants Brunswick offers within walking distance of campus, we should certainly make it a thing. There’s no need to break the bank (but you can if you want to). What is better than sharing food with the people we love? Bring date night back!
Frontier is the perfect date night spot. It’s trendy and cool, ridiculously delicious and fresh, but not crazy expensive. Most of their appetizers come in half sizes, so you can get something to share and still have room for a meal. Their entrees can get a little pricey, but there are tons of options under 15 bucks. Holla. They arguably have the best burger in town and hands down have the best french fries in Maine.
SpoonTip: Get the vegan nachos. Just do it.
Little Tokyo is ideal for date night because you can get a ton of food without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is cozy and the restaurant is so busy that no one will judge you for being gross and couple-y. For an extra drunk and romantic evening split a volcano bowl, because we all know one of the keys to success in any relationship is sharing.
This is the place you want to take your girlfriend/boyfriend/lover to celebrate something special. Henry and Marty’s is pretty pricey, but they offer up a quality meal with local ingredients in an upscale environment (This place has tablecloths and real candles, which is pretty fancy by our standards).
Okay, so this isn’t going to give you a whole meal (but who says you can’t have ice cream for dinner? We think it’s totally acceptable to have ice-cream for every meal). Gelato Fiasco is the perfect spot for a casual date if you’re looking for something sweet and special without buying a whole meal. Eat it there, or get a pint to go and eat the whole thing while watching a movie at home.
#SpoonTip: For every degree below freezing Gelato Fiasco takes that percent off your purchase. So bundle up and get out there. Perfect snuggling weather.
Obvi pizza is bae. Bring your bae to split a pie and get a beer. With tons of different toppings, 4 different types of dough and local ingredients, Portland Pie is the perfect place to celebrate date night.
Feeling hungry at 4 am? Do you want something greasy and delicious? Do you want breakfast for dinner? Are you really craving pancakes, but your significant other wants a lobster roll? Hit up the iconic red diner for comfort food ranging from chocolate chip pancakes to chili cheeseburgers.
Margaritas, tacos, and guac. Could we possibly ask for anything more in this life than to share these three gifts from god with the person we love most? No. There’s really not. El Camino offers the best Mexican food in Brunswick and it’s charming decor makes it a little slice of heaven in the dead of winter.
#SpoonTip: They don’t take reservations, so the wait can be a little long. Order some margaritas and chips and salsa to tie you over.
Go on a date. Just do it.

Akton understands that interviews can be very daunting and that candidates can put themselves under extreme pressure. In order to help you, Akton have derived some simple tips in order to try and make the interview a little easier.
When asked salary expectations, be clear and keep within the salary band of the position offered. (If you ask for more than is offered you will put yourself in a compromising situation and may lose the opportunity).

At the end of the interview ask the interviewer if they are unsure about anything and whether they have any concerns. (This will help you head off any uncertainties and give you the chance to further explain any point in question).
There is no official layout for a C.V but there are some simple tips to help you maximise your chance of an interview.
Current Job, Position Title, Date from, to, Company name.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Another round of the University of Kentucky’s Master Cattleman program will begin soon. More than 4,000 beef producers have already participated in the comprehensive program and put the management strategies they learned into practice in their operations.
The Master Cattleman program consists of 10 sessions that include management, marketing, nutrition, reproduction, health, genetics, forages, facilities, environment and end product.
“The program is designed to increase producers’ overall productivity and profitability,” said Ben Crites, Beef Integrated Resource Management coordinator for the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
The program is available at multiple sites throughout Kentucky. Each site will have consistent program material. Each participant must attend at least eight of the 10 sessions and have a current Beef Quality Assurance certification to successfully complete the program. All program participants will receive a set of reference materials and those who successfully complete the program will receive a personalized farm gate sign.
More counties will start the program this fall. For more information or to enroll, contact the local county extension office or email Crites at Benjamin.crites@uky.edu.
