The island of Taiwan is famous for its Oolong teas. They are oxidised to varying degrees and so develop notes that are more vegetal, or on the contrary, more woody. But these teas, which are also known as blue-green teas, do not represent all of the island’s production. There are also green teas and black teas in Taiwan. Regarding the black teas, here is the building where they were processed, at the time of the occupation and when the Japanese were toying with the idea of making Taiwan one of the world’s biggest producers of black teas. The Japanese wanted to compete with British teas made in India.
Tea has a very good character. It gets on well with many plants. Here, high up in Taichung (Taiwan), it has a close relationship with Areca catechu. This palm provides the farmer with a supplementary income and our bushes with a little shade. It also lends an impressive verticality to these tea gardens, which are usually very horizontal.
In the centre of the island of Taiwan they produce Gao Shan Chas, high-altitude teas that are rolled into pearls. They are semi-oxidised teas that are withered, then lightly oxidised, roasted, rolled, dried and packaged. In the cup, the best of them develop fresh vegetal notes and a lovely opulent flowery bouquet (rose, hyacinth, jasmine), sustained by buttery, milky notes with an occasional hint of vanilla. These high-quality teas are produced in limited quantities.
Calling all fans of “grand cru” teas! You now have access to the best selection of teas in the world. This is the optimum time of year to try the finest teas in existence. All are extremely fresh, newly delivered by air. There are first-flush and second-flush Darjeelings, new-season Chinese teas, and Japanese Ichibanchas harvested in May, alongside teas from Nepal, Taiwan and South Korea.
For tea-lovers, the start of the summer is a pure pleasure!
In Taiwan, people take great care of semi-fermented teas (wu longs) left to wither outside. The grower first buy an electrical system of open-weave canvases that are moved across to shade the leaves when the sunlight gets too intense. Tea is then aired: it is raked very carefully, for hours, to prevent the leaves from starting to ferment.
In Taiwan, in the Nantou region for example, well-known for its Wu Long teas (Dong Ding, etc.), the tall and spindly trunks of the palm trees contrast with the rows of tea plants and give the landscape a very graphic appearance.
Wu Long teas from Taiwan are among the best teas in the world. By the way, we will receive beautiful Bao Zhong teas in a few days.
However, of that island, we easily have an image of a country whose activity is turned towards electronics and other micro-electronic components. In any case, not the image of an island whose territory is mainly covered by mountains. Taiwan is indeed divided by central ranges spreading from north to south and is very much appreciated by hiking lovers who enjoy walking on its small steep paths. During my trips, I can often see some of them, tired and out of breath but delighted by the beautiful landscapes around them.
This geography offering coolness and humidity combines the ideal conditions to grow high quality teas and we come across plantations a little bit everywhere in the country, each region producing distinct designations. The best Taiwanese teas are the “blue-green” or semi-oxidized: lightly oxidized Bao Zhong, Wu Long rolled up in perls (Jing Xuan, Gao Shan Cha) and Bai Hao Wu Longs.
Carine (see the post My travelling companions of last Friday) took this photo when we were in the county of Nantou in the centre of Taiwan. You can see the village of Lu Gu, perched on the crest of the Shan Lin Xi mountains, not far from the lake with the same name and near the place where great Dong Ding teas are produced.
Most of the time, I travel on my own. Nothing’s better than solitude to meet others, be receptive and start up relations. I go foward at my own pace, going from one plantation to another as I like. I stay there the time it takes to strike up a friendship with tea producers and learning the most about their work. In the evening, I look for a friendly inn and right after having sat down, I start up a conversation with my neighbours.
I make other trips with companions, study trips of example, during which we aim at learning everything possible about teas coming from a specific area. We then have to take notes, talk with producers or farmers, learn about the manufacturing process of each tea, ask endless questions and take lots of pictures at the same time… In that case, two or three of us are not too many to accomplish all these tasks!
My best trip companion in that case is Mathias, on the right of the photo, with whom I have been sharing the same passion for more than ten years. And Carine, on the left, who is in charge of the Tea School, is a perfect complement to us thanks to her career as an aroma specialist.
This photo was taken in Beipu, Taiwan, to be precise. Behind us, bamboo trays on which Bao Zhong tea leaves are left to sweat.

He also opined that in the shipping sector there is a need for private players to step in, with 40-45 per cent of stake in the partnership being offered to private players.
Projects having a high social impact but low/no Internal Rate of Return (IRR) may be provided funding, in convergence with schemes of other central line ministries. IRR is a metric used in capital budgeting to estimate the profitability of potential investments. It is a discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows from a particular project equal to zero. NPV is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. IRR is sometimes referred to as “economic rate of return” or “discounted cash flow rate of return.” The use of “internal” refers to the omission of external factors, such as the cost of capital or inflation, from the calculation.

Looking for apartments in apartments in River Oaks, TX?
River Oaks, Texas, developed in the 1940s around what was then Carswell Air Force Base. Though the base has since been renamed the Naval Air Station/Joint Reserve Base, River Oaks is still home to many retired military personnel and their families. The first year that the city appeared in the U.S. Census was 1950 with a population of 7,097, almost exactly the same number as it is today.
River Oaks is located in a wooded area defined by the West Fork of the Trinity River, downstream from Lake Worth. The city, just under two square miles, five miles northwest of downtown, is located within Interstate Loop 820 around Fort Worth.
New construction is slim in the area, though there are developments just down Westworth Blvd./Alta Mere Dr. (Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, Half-Price Books) in the nearby Westworth/Ridgmar Mall area.
River Oaks is served by Castleberry ISD, which also covers a portion of Sansom Park and Fort Worth and serves 3,517 students,.
See 1955's Strategic Air Command with Jimmy Stewart for a look back at the base and city in its heyday.

If you’ve ever had a problem with animals in your garden, you know the amount of damage they can do. You may have gone to great lengths to deter persistent critters, including using baby powder to repel rabbits or using various concoctions of other household products to keep relentless deer, squirrels, chipmunks or skunks away. Perhaps these remedies were given to you by “reliable” sources such as your gardening expert down the street (it wasn’t me!) or even your dear old grandmother!
The idea of using homemade remedies like using human hair or baby powder to keep squirrels out of a garden appeals to many of us who are looking for an effective, all-natural alternative to potentially harmful chemicals. They’re also attractive from a cost perspective, as you can use products that you already have around the home or that are naturally produced (like your hair)!
But do these substances really keep animals away on a long-term basis? Let’s take a closer look at a few of the more popular homemade solutions.
Does Baby Powder Repel Rabbits or Squirrels?
Some people attempt to use baby powder to repel rabbits and squirrels by sprinkling it around plants and flowers. Rabbits generally do not like the taste or smell of baby powder, and it could deter them for a brief time, but the fact that it is so lightweight and fine means the slightest breeze will blow it away.
Baby powder also washes away easily when it rains. Consequently, using baby powder to repel rabbits is a short-term solution at best and requires almost constant application to have even a fighting chance to work.
Will Chili Pepper Keep Squirrels Out of the Garden?
Another popular remedy is to sprinkle “hot” substances such as chili powder in and around a garden with the idea that the pungent aroma and burning sensation when ingested will make squirrels turn tail and run away. As when using baby powder to repel rabbits, chili powder washes away easily so it won’t work for very long if it works at all. Chili powder can also cause blindness to a squirrel that gets it on its forepaws and then rubs its eyes, so it’s far from a humane solution.
I’ve discovered that Havahart® Spray Away is much more effective than using chili pepper or baby powder to repel rabbits or squirrels. This product uses an infrared proximity sensor that detects when animals are near and then employs a combination of sound, motion and bursts of water to frighten the animals away. There are no substances that need constant reapplication, and there’s no danger to the animal.
I might have a green thumb, but when it comes to mechanical devices, I’m usually all thumbs! But even I was able to install the unit near my garden with no problem at all. With Havahart® Spray Away, you can say goodbye to ineffective home remedies for good!

I am calling a REST API which has multiple input parameters and one of the input parameters is a file (CSV).
How can I load a file using tREST component?
The defaultfilename.txt comes from some default code for the tFileFetch to set a destination filename. You could maybe try ticking "Use cache to save resource" as a workaround (if that is causing this, it is a bug).
It would help to see the API specification for this. But you may be able to just use the tFileFetch (https://help.talend.com/reader/MjIZDoU6r0vLbCpGh5GAcg/F4QsQrja9IQEa_kKqmBfNQ). Don't be put off by the name, this component can be used to both download files and upload them.
Thanks for the reply. However i have to pass a bunch of parameters in the body of the request as shown in the postman screenshot below. How do you propose I do that using tFileFetch? Any example to share perhaps?
The tFileFetch sends a multipart message in the body. This contains the file and the other parameters. It is unfortunate that I cannot try this out as I do not have access to your service. Web services are notoriously tricky to work out without having access to them. But have you tried setting our parameters in the parameters section of the tFileFetch?
I tried with the tFileFetch component and it seems to be hitting the service but returns with the below error message. I get the header of the response back but not the body and I dont know from where its trying to pick the "\defaultfilename.txt". Also, if I try to run the component the second time it fails. And if I change the file name to something else it runs again with the below message. Do you know whats going on here.
"Starting job Copy_of_testRestAPI at 15:35 27/02/2018.
This looks like a file/folder permission issue. Have you tried moving the file to a location where everyone has permission?
yes the file is in "c://" with read write access to everyone.
Also, like I said if I change the name of the file it works fine and then in the above case it got the header back but not the body.
Attaching my settings from tFileFetch. Does this seem to be right? Any pointers?
Ultimately I did write the JAVA code to call the API. Which is not the ideal way to do it. So going to close this topic and have opened another one to see if anyone from Talend can address it.
I just tested the link and it works for me. I suspect that maybe the server was down when you tried it.

If there's a most frequently-asked question from the bereaved, it is probably "how long will I feel like this?" And while there's no standardized answer in terms of months or years, an appropriate answer is, "a lot longer than you may think." Certainly the 1 year marker is no magical "Get Out Of Grief Free" day, and while not my personal experience, many widow/ers report that year 2 was in many ways harder than the first year. If you are reading this and are within the first year, this is probably not what you want to read, but it is important that you read it somewhere. Grief takes as long as it takes. That is, of course, assuming you do the heavy lifting of grief.
Even with our loved ones wanting us to go on and be positive..... and you will..... down the line..... it isn't your time now. G-R-I-E-V-I-N-G is a long hard process which takes lots of time, energy, thinking, praying, sobbing.... And it seems like the timing for all of us is different. Yet I know for me at 21 months, I haven't made it over the marathon hills to even see the finish line (And in reality I don't think there is a finish line).
Devouring every grief book I could.
Allowing myself to let the process be what it was. I just let it happen no matter how embarrassing and blubbering I was at the least expected times.
Learned about those who DGI (don't get it) and learned how to put my boundaries up.
I knew who my 'safe' people were to be around.
I spent horrible sleepless nights where nothing helped me sleep (that's getting better). I used the sleepless nights to read, mediate, cry out to God for help and just plain CRY.
I knew the saying, "time heals all" wasn't completely true. I knew it was what I was going to do in that time that would help me heal... And sometimes 'doing' was doing nothing.
I have come out of the "why me" stage to "what am I suppose to learn from all of this." Now truthfully that still comes and goes somewhat. From reading my journals I have learned much.
I am not so much a DGI person in others lives now. I have more compassion for others. I listen more intently when others share with me their losses of any sort. My heart has been ripped open and I want to be there for others in my life whose heart is ripping too.
This is all happening to me slowly. I had numerous months of wailing, and being simply frozen with grief. I am starting to defrost. And I want all of you new ones on here to know your day will come. But until then just do the next thing. One step in front of the other. One hour at a time. Please know you are not going crazy, it's called GRIEF. A foreign emotion many of us never experienced to this degree before now.
This post is very touching, I could almost feel the pain, thanks for sharing Vic.

“You’ve got to do things you’re passionate about and you’ve got to do them incredibly well,” said Rajan Anandan – VP & Managing Director of Google India. He said this to the participants of the Yarl Geek Challenge Season 7. As one of the keynote speakers this year, he had quite a few tips for anyone that wanted to build startups.
But prior to that, he admitted that it’s not easy to build a startup ecosystem from scratch. It typically takes 20 or 30 years and even then, it takes a lot of blood, sweat, and hard work. Rajan shared this with everyone while acknowledging the efforts of the Yarl IT Hub over the past 7 years.
He then went onto say, “It’s a fantastic time in the world today to be an entrepreneur.” This is especially true for entrepreneurs in the technology industry. Why? Because of time and luck. It’s the right time because over half the world is connected. “Earlier this year, we crossed the magical point of 50% of all human beings now connected to the internet,” said Rajan.
Rajan elaborated on this by pointing to the example of WhatsApp. Jan Coum & Brian Acton built WhatsApp while being based in California with a team of 55 people. Yet, they had built a messaging platform utilized by over a billion people. And then they famously sold it to Facebook for $19bn without ever taking a step out of California.
Today, an internet company can go from 0 to 50 million users in a single year. Depending on where those users are (is it a developing or developed market?) and the monetization model, the company can be worth $400 million to $500 million. “And the reason for this is you have these massive number of users on the internet,” stated Rajan.
Rajan then explained that entrepreneurs were lucky because of many emerging technologies. The most prominent of these AI. “We at Google believe that AI is going to be the single most defining trend for the next 10 to 15 years. AI is going to impact every industry from automotive manufacturing to banking to agriculture. And agriculture as we know it is going to change completely,” said Rajan.
Other technologies include AR, VR, and IoT. He also included blockchain in his list, which Rajan Anandan described as, “It’s going to revolutionize financial services. Everyone talks about Bitcoin but Bitcoin isn’t the real story. The real story is blockchain!” All of these trends will have a massive impact on every industry.
Having explained his two reasons, Rajan shared that the Sri Lankan company he personally found most interesting was WSO2. He went onto explain that open source technology is also an old trend that continues to be a disruptor. But what makes it an interesting company in his eye is that it started off not to compete with a tech company in Colombo or India. Rather, it decided to take Oracle, IBM, and every other middleware company in the world head-on.
The answer to that question he gave was zero. You can get free cloud credits to build your product from Google, Microsoft, or Amazon. Speak to an accelerator and if you have a good pitch, then you can get space for three months. Within that time frame, Rajan argues that it should be possible to build a product and gain 100,000 users thanks to the internet.
Based on these three reasons, Rajan Anandan argued that it was a great time to be a tech entrepreneur. For a country to develop rapidly, it needs to encourage entrepreneurship. And Sri Lanka he believes has the talent for it. For proof, he points to the University of Moratuwa’s success in the Google Summer of Code program.
Yet, he also pointed out that the IIT’s of India produced unicorns this year. So while we do have the talent, Rajan argues there’s not enough talent. This is why he commends efforts like Uki to create more tech talent for the industry. He also shared that he’s been investing in Sri Lankan startups for the past 8 years.
When he first came to Sri Lanka there was no ecosystem. At the time, the few startups that existed were based in Colombo. Rajan goes onto describe this era saying, “Most entrepreneurs we met wanted to know how much interest we would charge. We had to explain to them that’s not how venture capital works.” Luckily things have changed.
Rajan Anandan shared that he invested in Linear Squared. This is a company of data scientists, developers, and more that provides AI and Machine Learning solutions for businesses. It has clients across the region and is now worth Rs. 1 billion. Such companies like this he argued, proved why good talent was necessary. Furthermore, the talent must also come from different disciplines.
Don’t build for Jaffna! Build for the world!
Drawing from his experience as an investor and a mentor, Rajan had only one additional piece of advice for any potential entrepreneurs. “Don’t think Jaffna. Jaffna is not your market. Your market at the minimum should be South Asia,” he told everyone in the audience.
This is a region with a booming population and an economy worth trillions, which is expected to grow by 7.1% annually for the next two years according to the World Bank. Of course, you can create a startup in Jaffna. Your startup can be based in Jaffna. You can also try to begin by attracting customers in Jaffna. But your goal should not be to win Jaffna.
These words would also apply to startups based in Colombo. He reiterated the importance of celebrating early wins in Sri Lanka but always having the vision to go regional. That’s how meaningful companies are built. More importantly, these companies tackle universal problems. And we have our fair share of problems in Sri Lanka.
These problems range from agriculture to sanitation to healthcare. Yet, Rajan looks at these as opportunities for entrepreneurs to build solutions. If one could solve these problems with technology, then it’s possible to replicate these solutions regionally. But for this to happen, the most important is the team. For a startup to scale, it needs a strong team.
At every stage of the journey, the founders should ask themselves, “Do we have the right people to scale this company and take it where we want it to be?” If a company wishes to expand beyond Sri Lanka, then it needs to ensure it has the right talent.
To be precise, these startups need people that truly understand the country they’re expanding into. Many companies fail in international markets because they didn’t find the right people or form the right partnerships. “I don’t think flying Sri Lankans to capture Indonesia is the best idea. If you want to win Indonesia you need an Indonesian team,” elaborated Rajan.

Edward "Ed" Barton Hamm (April 13, 1906 – June 25, 1982) was an American athlete, who won the gold medal in the long jump at the 1928 Summer Olympics held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, becoming the first Arkansan to win a gold medal. The Atlanta Journal called him "the South’s first world champion in any sport."
Hamm was born in 1906, to Charles Edward Hamm, a plumber and electrician, and Zilpah Dare Harris Hamm. He was the oldest of five brothers and one sister. Raised in Lonoke, he excelled in sports, especially track and field. At Lonoke High School, he won the state long jump for three years straight, 1923 to 1925, setting a state record of 23'2" his sophomore year. He won the state 220-yard dash all three years and the state 100-yard dash twice, despite attacks of malaria, which first affected him in his junior year and undoubtedly prevented him from bettering his records.
Hamm and teammate Hubert Davis were the only two Lonoke competitors to enter a high school invitational meet at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville in 1925. He won first in the 100-yard dash, the 200-yard dash, the long jump, and the high jump, as well as finishing third place in the 440. Though the two could not enter the relays, together they won the meet by two points over Little Rock High School.
In his junior year (1924) Hamm set a world high school record of 24'2⅝" (7.38 m), which qualified him for the Olympic trials in Boston, Massachusetts. To pay for his trip, he borrowed $100 from Little Rock (Pulaski County) coach Earl Quigley. He failed to qualify for the Olympics, but the next year he went to Little Rock, regularly bringing Quigley two to five dollars until he repaid the money.
At Georgia Tech, Hamm won the Southeast Conference championship (now the Southeastern Conference) in 100 yd and 220 yd sprints and the long jump three years straight. In 1928, he broke the SEC record in the long jump with a leap of 25'6¾", won the National Intercollegiate meet, and broke the world record in the 1928 Olympic trials with a jump of 25'11½".
On July 31, at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam, Holland, Hamm broke the Olympic record and won a gold medal with a leap of 25'4¾". After the Olympics, he was part of a track and field team that toured England and Germany. He won the long jump in every meet.
Hamm graduated from Georgia Tech in 1928, served as the school’s track coach for a few years, and then spent the rest of his life in private business, much of it as an executive with Coca Cola on the West Coast and in Alaska. He was married three times, and died in June 1982 in Oregon. His ashes were scattered over his beloved Clear Lake in Oregon’s Willamette National Forest, where he had fished many times. He was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1971, and the Arkansas Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1996.
Hamm donated his trophies to Georgia Tech in 1970 which were displayed in the Student Center on campus.

The effluent quality from mining & processing operations is monitored to ensure that maximum allowable limits are not exceeded. Recently, copper concentration levels in the effluent discharge flows of a copper and nickel mining company in Ontario have indicated increasing trends. A chemical particular to the problem is use of diethylenetriamine (DETA) in the process.
Adsorption tests were conducted to investigate the ability of various adsorbents to remove and retain copper complexed with DETA and triethylenetetramine (TETA) in solutions. The tests were divided into two sections: gangue adsorbents (silica and pyrrhotite) and high capacity adsorbents (natural bentonite, peat, zeolite Y and zeolite ZSM-5).
Pyrrhotite as a sulphide gangue had a greater adsorption capacity than silica for the concentration range studied. At 1 ppm initial concentration, over 80% of copper chelate was removed by minus 400 mesh pyrrhotite compared to 72% of the same size silica. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models of adsorption are applicable. However, the Langmuir adsorption isotherm was found to more closely represent the experimental data with a maximum adsorption capacity of 129.9 μg/g for copper complexed with DETA on pyrrhotite.
For the high capacity adsorbents, natural bentonite, zeolite Y and peat each worked well at removing the copper chelates. Zeolite Y had the highest capacity for copper chelates and a maximum adsorption capacity of 55.9 mg/g. Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models were studied with the Langmuir isotherm model more closely representing the experimental data.
Studies were also conducted on the effect of temperature. This led to a thermodynamic analysis of adsorption and estimation of activation energies. The standard free energies estimated for adsorption of copper chelated on adsorbents studied were nearly always negative, typically varying from around -2 kJ/mol to -7 kJ/mol with increasing temperature. The activation energy was found to be highest for the natural bentonite system suggesting a strong adsorption (e.g. 40.5 kJ/mol for CuTETA). Desorption experiments on the peat indicated very poor reversal for the process, confirming that the adsorption of copper chelates on high capacity adsorption was indeed very strong. Settling experiments indicated copper chelates were highly effective as coagulants on bentonite.

Three Gift Ideas Children Love!
Do you like most parents shutter at the idea of toys being left in the corner of the playroom or, even worse, outside in the yard for months at a time without so much as a second glance from the same child who begged for those toys over the holidays last year? Well, that is not going to happen with these toys! These three items are meant to be socially engaging, not collecting dust in the the toy bin.
Move over Barbie and Littlest Pet Shop, License 2 Play, Inc. brilliantly combines both popular toy items into one hot-selling collection of best friend figures kids can take everywhere with them in their pockets or backpacks. The ideal size for Mom’s or daughter’s purse, these friends come with the ability to accessorize on-the-go with a handy tiny wardrobe that will keep kids busy during long shopping trips or running errands.
Studies show creative play with dolls promotes imagination, creativity, and emotional well-being. This is an important component for the development of the child, according to an article by Scott Kaufman in Psychology Today. The acting out of social situations and emotions is a healthy way to work through problems.
Bonus for teachers, imaginary play helps students invent wonderful stories to write for school. Need the kids to come up with topics to write about? How about letting them play with a set of BFF’s and watch their minds create scenarios that can then be transferred to paper.
Want more inventive playtime fun? These friends actually come with their own pets! That’s right. You can buy a pack of 10 of these adorable pets that get even cuter, if that’s possible, when you see each comes with its own pet bag to be carried in. The BFF can hold the pet in its purse carrier on her arm! How precious is that? Your children will adore these little gals and animals, and you will appreciate the many benefits of promoting imaginary playtime.
D-Dart, The Next Generation of Dart Guns!
Have a kid that loves to chase siblings around the yard with soft sponge dart-launching weapons producing hours of safe fun? Give the youngest an advantage with the D-Dart gun. Capable of holding up to 28 darts and firing up to 22 meters (or 72 feet), this is a must for any family turf-war battles.
Sponge dart guns have promoted many skills, such as giving shy children a chance to be social without having to talk, teaching balance and coordination, and let’s not forget the reinforcing the discipline it takes to site perfectly still not making a sound behind that thin tree trunk for cover. Did you know your kids could sit so still before purchasing these dart guns? It is amazing the tactical strategies they will invent with these guns. Their creativity will skyrocket in finding new ways to get around the obstacles without getting hit. If they are hit, the good news is they can jump right back into play, depending on the family or neighborhood game rules. The darts are made of sponge materials, so go ahead and let them build a community of daily battles without the safety worries.
Youth groups and community centers would be great places to use these D-Dart guns as well. The more the merrier with this game. Who says the battle has to end at the edge of the yard? Buy these sought-after weapons for teambuilding exercises for teens. It’s alright to admit the staff had fun too!
Need to cover more ground? Share the darts with teammates carrying other dart-holding products as those included are compatible most related toys found in stores. Whether you choose automatic or single shot, this gun is a huge help in acquiring victory in the fight for justice!
You heard right! Designed by Jakk’s Pacific, this is weapon your child can safely use anywhere in or out of your home! Well, as long as the toilet paper is well stocked that is. Just a hint, 2-ply works best for distance and ease-of-use.
This blaster is like spit balls on steroids! It shoots up to 30 feet and uses water, not spit, for hygienic purposes. The toilet paper is biodegradable making this environmentally friendly fun. Plus, the spitballs leave no skid marks making cleanup a breeze!
As long as your children insist on playing soldier in the backyard, they may as well use the safest weapons. Buy one for each, set up some quick obstacles with materials you probably have around the house, garage or yard, and get ready for hours of “Oooooh, you slimed me!” fun. Best of all, when the kids come inside for dinner, only the blasters have to come with them. No more searching in the dark for the hard-to-spot darts in the grass you will find for days later. This is the ideal easy way to host a yard party for the kiddos!
Whether your child is into dolls or active game play, these three toys are the type of item parents, teachers and youth group leaders look forward to buying for interactive play. Even your shy little ones will develop a voice with the BFF's, and the kids who cannot seem to stay focused will find a new reason to control movement to avoid cross-fire in turf wars with the D-Dart gun and Toilet Paper Blaster. If you want them away from the XBox and tablets, these are must haves for every family.

Overall, I did enjoy working at sunset. I loved all the people I worked with as for as severs and cooks. Unfortunately, the owners were incredibly rude and sneaky, did not really care whether we walked out with a decent amount of money and treated us with little respect. The tip out really sucked (5%), and during the week we had no support staff had to host, buss and do expo - yet still had to tip all of that out so we are unaware where are money is going.
I was told that within a year of being hired I would be bumped up to a serving position. Instead I worked there for two years, and by the end was receiving 2 shifts a month, with no signs of being promoted, and even though my availability was completely open and I had seniority on most other bussers that worked there. Job wasn't very enjoyable and rather than being helpers, essentially the bussers were told to do whatever the servers just didn't feel like doing.
It's a good starting job to get your feet wet when dealing with costumers, everyone is friendly. It can be boring sometimes but when it gets busy, everyone works fast.
It is my personal opinion that the Sunset Grill is a very heavy restaurant operation for what it produces and it also produces far too much waste for the amount of work that people have to do. There are more efficient breakfast restaurants that could easily push this one off the planet only because of the girth of it.
The owners of the location I worked at was probably the worst I have ever experienced. They micromanage and tell you the same things over and over again. If they like you, you get free food and praise, but if they don't, you get terrible sections and are even more scrutinized by the owners. Turnover is constant because no one can handle how they are being treated.
Also, the tip out is 5% and since there are only two bussers, a dishwasher and two cooks, there is on average $800 dollars in tips for the weekend and throughout the week. However, the 5-6 people who get tipped out totals to under $200. so nobody knows where the rest of that money goes; probably right into the owner's pockets.
most enjoyable part of the job is working with an amazing staff whom have become family.
This job taught me a great deal about customer service. Working only morning shifts is a bonus, never having to worry about late night shifts. Great place to work at, with even greater people to work with.
I have worked at Sunset Grill Restaurant for the last 8 years. The company is awesome to work for and allows me to juggle my family life and my hours.
Considering Sunset Grill are smaller franchises operating; the management style is yet questionable in a negative concern. I had worked at 2 locations; both experiencing a dreadful work life - yet sticking through for 3 years of service.
Food was good but there was some miscommunication between coworkers, me and owners. Not enough hours offered once I was back in school. A very small restaurant.
It was the first job I had. It was good, I enjoyed my time working there and management was very nice and flexible. I didn't have any issues with my positions at the company. I enjoyed talking to customers and seeing their excitement when their food arrived at the table. I was 15 when I first started working so I was still inexperienced but for a first job I think it helped me step out of my shell and learn to talk with customers and improve my people skills.
I was happy to be hired at Sunset Grill because it's a well known franchise and you can't beat the hours (7am-3pm). Unfortunately the owners/managers don't believe in giving their staff any breathing room and that's the main reason why the turnover is SO high. I tried to stick it out but it's impossible. It's hard to be micromanaged when the owners have no real clue as to what they're doing. Even worse, they're terrified of head office so if a customer takes back food, they have to pay for it and you have to deal with it. No voids. The ipads used to input the orders freeze constantly (especially when busy) and you're tipping out 4% but constantly running your food/everyone else's food and cleaning your own tables because the only busser they can keep is incompetent (and smells, AND hovers over customers. Real treat.) Also - nepotism! Coupled with the owners inability to keep calm when it's busy and the cramped layout of the place, any experienced server will usually peace out of there either immediately or within the first month or so. The pictures they post on social media never have the same staff, see for yourself! Overall a very frustrating 2 months of my life that I am relieved are over.
Work was very fast paced with a great supporting team I learned alot about cooking fast but still making the finished product look great. The best part about the job was the team I worked with and the hardest part was not getting the hours I needed.
Working at Sunset Grill was a great experience, the customers were very nice and understanding, and the staff is very helpful and polite. It taught me communication, and elevated my team working skills.
Business typically ranged from extremely busy on weekends to having flows of customers trickeling in during the week. I personally loved the fast paced weekends because there was always something to do.
The place was always full so was funny to be occupy all the day. I used to attend the clients in the door and give them a table, if it was full i put them on a queue until a table is free.
Horrible Family Run Business - Good Workers Stay Away!!!
Cooks are hardworking guys that dish out good food, service is generally quick due to their great tech system, not very personable place at all though. In and out is their main goal. Management is a major issue - verbally aggressive with employees other than their own daughter. Could be an amazing place - but the level of professionalism is painfully embarrassing.
Tried to get paid for my hours that I worked, after 4 emails and 3 phonecalls, I went in person, they yelled at me in front of other guests dining in, refused to pay me until I returned an apron they accused me of stealing. Felt like they cared more about an apron than what the real issue was, their poor communication and management. You are given positions here based on familiar relation, no competence.
I wouldn't work for Sunset Grill. Simply because everyone is out for themselves. Customer complaints are an everyday thing. You can never please everyone.
Fast pace environment. The kitchen does not CATER to everyone's needs. They cater to their own menu only so the kitchen can dish out plates faster, and substitutions are not always accommodated.
They will not make home fries with onions due to no room on the grill, or will not make well done home fries on the grill on the weekends due to high volumes of customers. Which made many customers complain and upset.

Poor body image runs rampant in our society today – especially in youth. More than 20 million women and 10 million men suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some time during their lives according to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA).
Eating disorders are serious. Results of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating range from pancreatitis, hair loss, tooth decay, high cholesterol levels, heart disease, gallbladder disease and more. NEDA also notes that eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental disorder, so early intervention means saving lives.
The National Eating Disorders Awareness Week takes place Feb. 21 – 27 to spotlight eating disorders and improve public understanding of their causes, dangers and treatments. A focus of this year’s campaign is on early intervention via a three-minute confidential online eating disorders screening which can help determine if professional help is needed.
Bottom line: if you notice any of the signs above in children or teens in your life, please seek professional help immediately. It’s also important to practice good eating habits/attitudes yourself and act as a positive role model.

Does art imitate life, or does life imitate art? Sometimes, it’s a little bit of both: in the summer of 2006, Israel invaded Lebanon for the second time, and every year since, Israeli filmmakers have replied with films that are sharply critical of their government’s prosecution of its first war, in 1982, and subsequent 18-year occupation of a border zone within its northern neighbor. But each part of the resulting trilogy—Joseph Cedar’s Beaufort, Ari Folman’s Waltz With Bashir, and now Samuel Maoz’ Lebanon, playing this week at the New York Film Festival—originated years, or even decades, before the latest round of hostilities broke out, and all three were already in various stages of production when bombs began falling on Beirut three years ago.
“Everything can burst here tomorrow morning, and you just never know,” said Katriel Schory, executive director of the Israel Film Fund, a government-backed nonprofit that provided financing to both Folman and Maoz. “You cannot say the Second Lebanon War triggered these projects—it was a sheer coincidence.” And, he insisted, there was no master plan, just a desire to let a generation of filmmakers who had all served in the first, controversial Lebanon war—what Maoz calls the “Lebanon generation”—explore the lasting effects of combat on Israel’s young.
Theoretically, all three films could have come out at the same time. Cedar, a former paratrooper, and won financing in early 2006 from the Rabinovich Foundation for the Arts, another government-sponsored film fund, and wrapped in June of that year, weeks before the start of the 34-day second invasion. The film, which Cedar began writing while sitting in a military jail after refusing to do reserve duty, captures the final days of the occupation of an ancient fortress in southern Lebanon, just before IDF troops pulled out in 2000. Folman, a writer for the Israeli version of In Treatment, began his script for Bashir around the time of the pullout, after he requested early release from his reserve duty as a writer for IDF safety-instruction movies on the grounds that he needed therapy for PTSD stemming from his experience at the front in 1982. In the spring of 2006, he presented Schory with a 10-minute pilot for an animated film exploring his struggle to remember what exactly he did during the massacre at Sabra and Shatila, and released his film last year, just ahead of the Gaza invasion, triggering a heated national debate about the nature of responsibility and memory.
Maoz, a production designer and cinematographer who made his living for years shooting music videos and commercials, wrote his screenplay in a four-week burst in 2006. “I said to myself, you are over 40 and you need to do something with yourself—you are not a young director, and it’s now or never,” Maoz said in an interview last week. He began shooting in 2007, but completion of the film was delayed after the death of one of his producers. Chronologically, his movie belongs at the beginning: it describes the experience of four soldiers manning a tank on June 6, 1982, the first day of the first Lebanon invasion. Set entirely inside the claustrophobic metal walls of the machine, it captures the narrow experience of soldiers whose only view on the carnage is through the sight of a scope—cracked by a missile, for good measure—and who wind up having to bear the brunt of making life-or-death decisions while their feckless commanders sit considering abstractions in safe war rooms, far away.
Now, Maoz—who once told Variety that he watched the news coverage of the second Lebanon War with the uneasy sense that they were filming his script—bears the burden of being in the shadow of his compatriots. Both Beaufort and Waltz with Bashir were huge successes both domestically and abroad, garnering laurels at international film festivals along with consecutive nominations for the best foreign-language Oscars, Israel’s first since the early 1980s. (Folman, who lost the Academy Award race to a Japanese film, won Israel’s first Golden Globe.) “If they’d come out in the same year, maybe one would have succeeded at the expense of the others,” Cedar said.

Gardening is so much more fun when we involve our children, and what better time to get them out there than Earth Day, where we celebrate the environment and work towards improving our planet, one seed at a time. Earth Day is the perfect chance to teach our kids about nature, where our food comes from, how flowers grow and much more.
Some of the outdoor games you can play while tending your backyard include a contest to see who can pull up the most weeds in 10 minutes, how to identify healthy insects in the garden or making garden-themed crafts. Kids who grow up in the garden will likely become passionate gardeners later on, so here are some fun projects the whole family can do together.
With the global honeybee population declining, now’s the time to help save the pollinators. Planting bee-friendly plants in your garden – including hyacinth, sedum, snapdragons and asters – is one great way, and here’s another: because honeybees visit up to 2,000 flowers each day, they require a steady supply of water, so why not make a Honeybee Watering Station for them! Just follow these simple directions from DIY gardener and crafter Diane Hoffmaster, who blogs about green and healthy living from Liburn, GA.
Forget forking over your cash for watering cans – you can make them yourself using recycled materials! Just wash out large plastic milk jugs, juice containers or laundry detergent bottles (make sure they have screw-on lids and handles), and drill a few holes in the cap. You can make smaller holes with a needle, perfect for watering seedlings, or larger holes to water your flowerbeds. Bonus: while commercially sold watering cans can be too heavy for little hands to carry, these homemade ones are easy for kids to handle when they’re on watering duty. Or, rig an upside-down soda bottle to become a self-watering system for your plants.
Speaking of recycling, get your kiddos to start collecting the metal bottle caps off of dad’s beer bottles. Once you have a few dozen, grab your hot glue gun, some paint and brushes, and several wooden skewers to make these adorable Bottle Cap Flowers, which are super-easy to make.
You can also repurpose old bicycle wheels or hubcaps to make giant flower sculptures – just paint them all the colors of the rainbow and let your imagination be your guide!

Hardly anyone we asked knew of Ocampo. Our requests were often met with blank stares. Some pretended, telling me that he surely was a famous Patzcuarense artist. No, not even, I explained, telling them he was born in Celaya, now lives in Tepoztlán, and is famous. Well, at least Ocampo’s famous among those who know his work.
An art dealer in his sixties dismisses our query with the excuse that “there are so many up and coming young artists that I just can’t keep track of them all.” We tell him that Octavio Ocampo was born in 1944.
“Oh, you mean Melchor Ocampo?” Nope. Not hardly.
No, no, no, not Octavio Ocampo Córdova, the alcalde of Tuzantla.
Finally, I came upon F., who is clearly the most educated Patzcuarense we know when it comes to art. Yes, he remembered when the Ocampos and Boteros were sold on every street corner. But no one’s interested in them these days. He explains that Ocampo and Botero bought created giant paintings, which weren’t easily reproduced in easily portable and affordable sizes. And maybe the company that was cranking out those copies is no longer in business. I wasn’t ready to buy all of his explanation, but it came closer than any I’d heard all day.
At Starbucks, a man identifying himself as an artist whips out his iPhone to show us photos of his paintings, going on about how a woman in Los Angeles bought all of his paintings so that she could have a gallery of his work right in her house. I ask him about Octavio Ocampo. The name doesn’t register, and the iPhone-bearing artist says “Oh, I’ve spent most of my life in Mexico City, so I wouldn’t know some painter from Michoacán.” I tell him that Ocampo is important, prolific, and how he even painted a retrato of Jimmy Carter for then-President Lopez Portillo’s state gift to the then-President Carter. Another blank stare. We recite, once again, the salient details of Ocampo’s Wikipedia entry, explaining he’s no doubt well-acquainted with CDMX, and even though he’s surely visited Morelia and Patzcuaro, just like every Mexican citizen has, he’s no homeboy from Michoacán.
Showing anyone who’ll look photos of his work on my iPad isn’t yielding any results. I began to wonder whether a campaign to put his visage on milk cartons might work.

Nazarene Acres summer camp, sometime in the early 90's. That's me on the far right with some sort of inevitable sports injury. Had a huge crush on Sheree Gruenewald, who's hiding behind (and to the left of) the kid in the Chicago Bulls t shirt. Had a medium sized crush on Michelle Peters, in the teal/yellow shirt about 3 girls to the left of Sheree (with the limp wrists.) Later on, I had a crush on Jessica Regan (not pictured.) I suppose I had lots of crushes in high school.

Cecchetti Camp WAY back in 1992/93 in Cleveland, OH. Side note: I literally wore the t-shirt from this camp until it was falling apart. This was the year that I discovered how much it hurt to get hit in the head with a pointe shoe (swung at the end of a ribbon.) I deserved it - I'd hidden one of her shoes up high where she couldn't reach it. Might have been Melissa Choate, or Jennifer Moore.

He reaches his country hideout, where he is promptly visited by an uninvited Daffy Duck, who is a door-to-door vendor of a variety of items. McSlug slams his door in Daffy’s face, but Daffy persists in his effort to sell something to McSlug and raises the ire of the wanted criminal. McSlug opens fire on Daffy, who conveniently is wearing a sample of his company’s bullet-proof vests. When Daffy turns on the gas of McSlug’s stove to demonstrate the igniting power of his sample lighter, McSlug literally throws Daffy out and tries the lighter himself, which blows the hideout and McSlug sky-high.

He made this call at a press conference on Wednesday in Ibadan on the 30th anniversary of his church, Christ Life Church.
Oke said, “Osinbajo is trying his best. He’s not the President, what the Vice-President can do is limited.
“The church should wake up and celebrate our hero. When has he was the acting President, he made a positive impact and everybody felt it.
“He has a cordial relationship with the President and there is no scandal.
The Bishop commended the Christian Association of Nigeria for representing the interests of Christians in the country.

2) One random act of kindness during the three week time period.
3) Pray for 30 minutes a day.
After deliberation after Bible Study, the guys jokingly suggested that the girls should only wear one pair of shoes for the entire time. This came up after they pointed out that some of us, (yours truly), had over 50 pairs of shoes. The guys said they would take cold showers for the 3 weeks if the girls wore one pair of shoes. Who could say no to that kind of offer! So, I committed to one pair of shoes, my boots, for the 3 weeks.
I didn't know it would be this hard, to be honest. There have been many days during this time that I have gotten mad that I couldn't wear what I wanted to for work since it didn't really look that great with boots. Shallow, right? After a week of trying to stifle thoughts of cussing in my head at the youth group boys who suggested this challenge, I realized that the opportunity for grace and growing closer to God was passing me by.
So, every time I was frustrated with that pair of boots, instead of getting angry, I got my prayer on. During a parish mission, a priest had told us a story from St. Therese of Lisieux's life. She once said that she would "prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifices to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul." If simply picking up a dropped pin can save souls, what could one pair of boots do?
The lesson learned from these three weeks is perfect in it's simplicity: Even the littlest things can bring your closer to God. You can offer up anything to the Lord and He can perfect it in His amazing way - transforming your small gift into graces for others.
May your Christmas season be full of the blessings of the Lord and your New Year bring with it opportunities to grow closer to Our Lord!

Nick stayed calm v Isner & won a close match. Don’t think he has the legs to beat zverev. Hope I’m wrong.
Up a set in the final verse Zverev!
When was his last title and for the rankings nerds where does this shift Nick to if he wins??
just get zverev to mentally implode.
You’d have both camps thinkin/planning the same wouldn’t you??
i think it’d be easier for nick to chat the ■■■■ needed.
zverev still tries to appear as a class act.
Hopefully he’s finally recognised how much talent he’s got.
This week has been huge for him.
Yep. Currently ranked 72 on 750 points, he wins it takes him to 1250 points and to being number 31 (ahead of Kolshcriber currently on 1205 points). Not a bad weeks work.
No other Aussie could put a week like that together.
As much as he is a polarising character we need him playing well.
Krygios wins the title! If he only had to play top ranked opponents against feral crowds to keep him interested he’d be a world beater.
That was a monster kick serve and he follows it in as well to put even more pressure on.
Then the ace on the 2nd serve again to win!!
When’s his not carrying on and just playing tennis his ■■■■■■■ good to watch.
He’s certainly got the raw talent.
If he does get his career, and his life, under control, that’ll be great. I’m sure everyone hopes that he does, for his own sake and the sake of tennis.
But he’s won titles before and he’s been ranked much higher than 31 before. There’s every chance that he won’t get past the first round in his next tournament. There’s nothing to indicate that the leopard has changed his spots. He’s just happened to string together a week of top form.
Nobody will argue with you there.
He’s a mental case and with that comes uncertainty.

ONE IMMUTABLE LAW OF BUSINESS?
I’ve been accused of secretly wanting to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. I consider myself more of the “sit-down” variety. Stand-up sounds like a lot of work.
That being said, I think it’s high time someone got to the bottom of one of the most perplexing questions facing businesspeople today. It’s a dynamic that is as ubiquitous as a smartphone and as innocent as a passing glance. Nearly all of us have succumbed to its effects at one time or another. In fact, most of us don’t even know we’re doing it. So what is this mysterious force pervading businesses and board rooms around the globe?
Good question. The answer may surprise you. Are you sitting down?
The list goes on and on, and we don’t even know we are doing it!
What exactly is going on here? Apparently, anytime a discussion requires real thinking, we suddenly feel the need to collapse into a chair just in case the results of such a low-level exchange are too much to bear.
It reminds me of that scene from Back to the Future.
From time to time, a glimmer of hope will emerge to combat this downward pull. Standing desks and hallway discussions periodically move in and out of vogue. Heck, we even name meetings “stand-ups” in the conscious effort to combat “sit downs.” But despite our best efforts and good intentions, it seems most of these noble efforts are short-lived, succumbing to the inevitability of a more sedentary approach.
I wonder what would happen to our productivity (not to mention our overall well-being) if this sit-down culture was replaced by a move-and-think culture? According to this New Yorker Magazine article, we actually think better when we’re walking.
Wow. Who knew? Keep those corpuscles puscling, I always say.
So the next time someone says, “We should sit down and _______,” perhaps you kindly suggest that they take a hike—and offer to go with them. Lighten up a little and see what develops. After all, gravity need not be the governing law of the business world. It’s really more of a guideline than a rule, anyway.

I loved dressing up as a teacher and playing teacher!
I used to dress up as my great-grandfather, and I used to dress up my younger brother as my great-grandmother. I wish so much that I had pictures. And don’t even get me started on Halloween….
My favorite costume growing up was to deck out as a clown. None of my kids want to ever be clowns. They think they are creepy.
I was a crayon one year and loved it.
Princess Leah and my brother was Luke skywalker.
I am following Risa and Opposite of Far on IG! My favorite costume growing up was Pippi Longstocking, homemade for Halloween by my dad! Wire hangers in my hair and all!

Idaho offers many medical services for its residents. Everything from Medicaid and assisted living facilities to the more state specific Idaho Smiles Program which provides dental coverage for those struggling economically provides more medical services, which in turn provides you with more job opportunities as a Master of Healthcare Administration. Combine these services with the lowering cost of medical coverage for most of the population through the Affordable Healthcare Act and other factors, and you have opportunity in Idaho that you wouldn't in other states.
With 3 on-campus colleges, several online options, multiple finical aid options and a growing healthcare industry, Idaho is an ideal area to begin both your education in healthcare administration and your career as a healthcare administrator.
Below you can find detailed information about the different educational options, as well as career insights for those looking at earning a degree in healthcare administration.
If you're looking for a graduate degree in healthcare administration in Idaho, you have a couple options, including on-campus and online.
On-campus universities, such as Idaho State University, offer Master's programs with a large campuses and high student to teacher ratios. Idaho State's for example is 16:1 according to educationnews.org. As a public 4 year or above institutions, these universities have Program Participation Agreements with the US Department of Education for eligible students to receive Pell Grants and other federal aid. Pell Grants, however, are not available to graduate students, but there are state and local grants that paid on average an additional $623.
Idaho State provides institutional grants, or fellowships, that pay $4,857 (universities.com). Steven-Henager College and Boise State University offer fellowships as well. Stafford Loans are also available, and provide $5,500 in added income per semester or quarter. These fellowships and loans are intended to aid you through two year programs whose coursework are designed achieve the same goals.
As a student at any of these on-campus colleges, you'll engage in courses which teach industry structure, organizations, and reimbursement systems, demonstrate the communication skills, oral, written, and technical, required of healthcare leaders, and create relationships with local and regional organizations and professionals who can provide valuable work experience. All of these courses are designed to fulfill the academic goals of providing you a well-rounded curriculum in disciplines such as communication, computational skills, social sciences, and life sciences and increasing students’ knowledge of social and ethical responsibilities in the delivery of health services in their communities.
Your second option is online education such as Ashford and Capella Universities. Both of these online schools offer financial aid in the forms of grants, loans, and reimbursements such as employer reimbursements. Just as with on-campus colleges, these online colleges are dedicated to the same academic principles of student skills and ethical responsibilities in the healthcare and health services. The major difference between online colleges and on-campus colleges is the length of study. On-campus colleges offer two year programs, while online colleges offer 76 week programs. This difference is the equivalent of 6 months, so online colleges can offer you a quicker process. But with this expedited education comes fewer opportunities for inexpensive or cost free funding. Weighing these options carefully is critical to your success as a student.
Idaho offers a unique opportunity for healthcare graduates. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the annual median salary in Idaho for medical and health service managers is $75,110. While this numbers may not appear as lucrative when compared to larger states, for example California which has a median salary of over $118,000 for health service managers, Idaho’s cost of living is below the national average.
If you’re looking to become a leader in the healthcare industry, request information from the colleges below to find the best health administration graduate program for you and your career goals.

ISLAMABAD (June 14 2003) : The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has initiated process to wind up 22 listed companies for failing to meet statutory requirement to hold annual general meeting at least once a year.
These include Saif Nadeem Kawasaki, Bahawalpur Textile Mills, Valika Woolen Mills, Azmat Textile Mills, Mubarak Dairies, Pakistan Northern Insurance Company, Awan Textile Mills, Tawakal Limited, Tawakal Polyester Industries, Myfip Video Industries, Norrie Textile Mills, Pakistan Dairies, Tawakkal Garments Industries, Alif Textile Industries, Schon Textile Mills, Apex Fabrics, Kaisar Arts and Kraft, Orient Straw Board, Sterling Insurance Company, Mehran Jute Mills, Sindh Alkalis and Dadabhoy Insurance.
Under the Companies Ordinance, 1984, listed companies are required to hold annual general meeting at least once a year.
The law provides that SECP would wind up any such company which fails to hold annual general meeting for two consecutive years.
Acting Chairman of SECP, Abdul Rehman Qureshi, told newsmen at a press conference that the Commission has decided to get rid of defunct companies and, in the future, only those companies would remain in the market which exist in real terms.
He said that the companies listed for liquidation were 'deadwood' as these had suspended business operations since long and were non-existent in the term of functioning.
Qureshi said that the SECP has served show-cause notices on these companies' management, which would follow filing of a petition before the court of law to fulfil legal formalities for liquidation.
He sounded confident that liquidation process of defunct companies would take place only months, not years, as was the case in the past when the law was not amended. He told a questioner that amended law requires completion of liquidation process within a year.
Qureshi said the shareholders would get share on their investment from proceedings of the companies for which a case-to-case basis formula would be followed.
He added that SECP was functioning in an autonomous manner and healthy trend at the stock exchanges was its ample proof.
