Most credit insurance policies insure against non-payment for virtually any reason. Coverage for export sales typically includes political risks, such as wars or import/export embargoes, and commercial risks, such as bankruptcies and protracted defaults (losses where the buyer is neither bankrupt nor insolvent, but still unwilling or unable to pay).
The seller is typically covered for 90-95% of the invoiced amount, after the application of the deductible (if any). If the sales contract includes post-maturity (penalty) interest, it is usually covered at no additional cost.
Exclusions include failure to comply with policy terms, such as forgetting to report and pay premium on a sale, or non-payment due to a legitimate product dispute.
A legitimate product dispute occurs when both parties agree there is a mismatch between the purchase order and the product being invoiced. In such a situation, the seller is usually only insured when a court (typically in the buyer's country) agrees that the buyer is, in fact, obligated to pay.
An Eximbank policyholder may file a claim after a transaction is 90 days overdue, and must file the claim before it is more than 240 days overdue.
Commercial policies may require longer waiting periods in higher-risk countries. Claims are typically paid within 30 days of receipt of complete documentation.
Commercial insurers have virtually no product restrictions, and will readily cover shipments originating in countries other than the U.S.
Eximbank-insured products must be produced in the U.S. (no more than 49% foreign content); they may not be further processed outside the U.S. by the exporter; they may not be "defense products;" and all products must be shipped from the U.S. directly to an unrelated buyer located outside the United States.


Just how bad was the state of repair of the Team Base?
Well the asbestos roof leaked. We had a strategically placed Team bucket to catch the water!
Work is well underway with Phase 1 nearing completion, that gives us a dry training room, toilets (that won't need the water turned off in cold weather) stores and a drying room. But it does leave a damp garage with a whole in the roof which is good for the Swallows when they nest in summer but not so good for the vehicles that get splattered with what every baby (feathered, furred or otherwise) produces the most of!


You know how it is. You've been running for ages, then a friend says "I'd like to try running. Can I come with you sometime?
"Yeah, of course you can!
"We've all been there, am I right?
We had an interesting run with another friend of ours this week, who said that she wasn't a fast runner, but was training for a half. "Could she join us?" "yes of course!

When Practicology signed up to email from the U.K.'s 100 best-known retailers they found that many weren't up to scratch.
Tesco, Halfords, Mothercare, Ikea, Lakeland, Sports Direct and Marks & Spencer - top UK brands - were all included in Practicology's r Having signed up for email marketing for all 100 top UK brands (of which 91 required no account registration) Practicology sat back to see how each brand operated their campaigns.
First off, 15% of the retailers never contacted Practicology after sign-up, including Halfords, Mothercare, Majestic Wine and Marks & Spencer. Of those that did make contact, just 67% sent a welcome email of which 63% sent it the same day as sign-up.
Just 48% of retailers who responded did so with responsive emails. Even retailers who had responsive websites sent non-responsive emails, including Boho, Sports Direct, Lakeland and Argos.
"Retailers who have invested in a dedicated mobile site or a responsive site, but have not moved their email marketing to responsive design should think about this as a next step," said Practicology's Head of Data & Analytics Will Dymott. "If consumers are browsing your website and even transacting on smartphones, then they will be opening your emails on those devices too."
During the six months of Practicology's research several major holidays occurred - Mother's Day, Father's Day and Easter - yet only 47% acknowledged just one of them.

4. Teach the Subject and...
If you want better work from your Millennials, you may have to provide instruction beyond your subject matter. Writing exercises divert attention from my primary themes, but my alternatives are limited. I can ignore underdeveloped skills, hope they'll receive instruction elsewhere, or get annoyed. Instead, I fit in a few lessons about the evils of excessive passive voice and the indiscriminate use of Google search results as "evidence."
I've heard "entitled" thrown around more times since I've started teaching than in all of my previous years combined. Do young people have inflated self-worth?Those who've taught longer than I have may be in a better position to comment on this subject. Given my puffy ego, I'm not the best judge. So without a definitive measure, I avoid the skirmish. Even if a metric existed, what could I do other than to learn how to manage it?
It's difficult to actualize the superficially simple idea that I am not my students. There's only a slight veneer of civilization separating my passion for teaching and my subject from a "my way or the highway" stance. I believe my class is imperative and the assignments easily managed with a bit of effort. But there's no known cure for the horse, water, and drink dilemma. When my belief turns into certainty about my "rightness," students who can't or won't keep up are "wrong."

The result is a landslide win for the Labour party, increasing their vote share by more then 11% from 1984. This is the first time since 1965 that the Labour party has come first in any nationwide election. The Tories however have been shattered, going from 41% of the vote down to 30% and losing around 20 seats. The Greens and LibDems have had their best results since 1943, and it's Labours best result since 1923, and the largest % of seats ever. The Capital of Neuve swung hard to the Labour party going from 31% of the vote to 53% of the vote after party modernisation and moderation allowing them to win the trust of business.
Further explanation for the domination of the Labour party in the election is their commitment to further marketise the countys economy, whilst making sure the unions and working class benefit from this by tapering the more extreme aspects and pledging to expand social programs. All parties bar the QSCRP pledged to further marketise the economy in some manner following review after review by economists saying the Queenslandian Economy needs to marketise and undergo large scale reform to be competitive. The SQCRP under longtime leader Malcolm Torch refused this and continued to support the isolationist policies the country has had since 1918.
The QSLP has formed a Government with the Liberal Democrats with C&S from the Greens giving them a total seat count of 112. For day to day legislating, the SQLP and LibDems have a cobined seat count of 93, giving them a total majority in the House of 11 seats when including the greens as part of the opposition.


Well, Beau’s grand opening has come and gone, and it felt like a good time to do a little reflection on the weekend’s events. Three things went very well:
1) Retail shop. We handed out samples in tiny cups after learning from the bus tours last weekend that big cups make for poor attention spans during tours. We had our swag laid out relatively well, although a bit more tweaking will make it more obvious people can buy stuff, and encourage them to do so. The bar-style atmosphere was quite nice and inviting, and the two large windows drew people to stare at the big tanks.
2) Ribbon cutting. We got a front-page article in one local newspaper, inside article in another, a ½ hour radio interview on one of the Ottawa radio stations, and column mentions in both big Ottawa newspapers. The dignitaries showed up on time, and we had a manageable crowd — not so big it became a zoo, but enough so it didn’t look pathetic.
1) Pork Roast. The Farmers’ Market made a modest profit on this, although if the weather had held out for the Sunday, it could have been much better.
2) Beer Tents. The beer tent by the brewery did relatively well, considering the poor Sunday weather. By having a pig roast and sound system outside it stayed vibrant and was fun. On the other hand, the beer tent on main street was tucked away in a corner with no entertainment, and had the feel of being ostracized from the event. As a result it was not really worth the effort.
Overall, I think the grand opening was definitely a success, but there were a few things that I’d do differently a second time. The general rule would be: where we kept it simple, it worked.
Posted by Jennifer James at 8:32 AM
I thought the tour and friendly atmosphere were just great! This is the beginning of something else that will become a traditional "start of summer" event. Congratulations on a great beginning!
Thanks! I'm glad you had a good time anonymous (nice name, by the way). Yeah, we got lucky that it was such a good group on the bus and I did enjoy seeing everyone.

Relieve stress by smashing tiles, play fighting
Hiroki Ishikawa splits a stack of 15 kawara roof tiles in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo.
By Sae Ikemoto / Yomiuri Shimbun Staff WriterStress can build up in our daily lives without our realizing it, and we often need to seek relief. Being one of those people myself, I recently tried out some unorthodox approaches to stress-busting.
Standing in front of a stack of 10 tiles, I lifted my right arm and forcibly brought my fist down in the center of the top one. The stack of kawara crumbled to the floor. The impact left a dull pain in my fist but made me feel refreshed.
Established in 1951, Ishikawa Shoten started to offer the service in 2012. Hiroki Ishikawa, the shop’s third-generation owner, came up with the idea of providing people an opportunity to come into contact with kawara because traditional roofing is no longer commonly used in ordinary houses. However, Ishikawa, 37, realized many customers were using the service to blow off stress.
The roof tiles used for the service are called “noshigawara,” and are normally placed in layers on rooftops. About 1.5 centimeters thick and weighing 2 kilograms each, the tiles usually have a cut about 2 to 3 millimeters deep running the length of their center. They are cut in half by a hammer-like tool before being placed on roofs.
A 41-year-old self-employed woman from Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture, tried to break a set of five tiles. “At home, I can’t vent my frustration on objects,” she said, “but I can here. It feels great.”
Some customers even smash tiles with their forehead, Ishikawa said.
I next visited Ninja Trick House in Tokyo, a facility in the Kabukicho district of Shinjuku Ward with traditional Japanese features such as objects similar to the torii gates at shrines and traps that can be found in ninja houses.
Visitors can enjoy exploring the facility while feeling like a real ninja. Throwing shuriken, star-shaped weapons, is the most popular attraction, and the sound of the iron stars hitting their polystyrene targets can easily be heard.
Tomoyuki Yumoto, the president of the company that runs the trick house, used to work as a salesman, but he quit his job because of stress. He opened the facility in July, hoping to make it a place for others who feel stressed.
“Some people scream their bosses’ names as they throw shuriken,” said Yumoto, 42.
I didn’t call anyone’s name but just focused on throwing the stars. My second try hit the target.
Welcomed by smart-looking women in hakama skirts, I was given a fake sword to learn basic footwork and postures before “fighting.”
The lesson was held by Guy’s Entertainment in Fuchu, Tokyo, a training school for actors playing action roles. It started sword-fighting lessons for non-acting women in 2008, and more than 1,000 have attended the lessons so far. Eighteen people took part in the lesson on the day I visited, a group that included company employees, homemakers and students, some of whom wore full makeup with colorful yukata summer kimono and hakama.
“It [sword-fighting practice] can help your posture, and also help you switch gears,” she said.
I found actions that require quick, forceful motions — such as throwing ninja weapons and wielding a sword — can help to shift emotional gears much better than I expected. Anyone can do this even without being good at sports. Why not try some of these ways to relieve frustration before it erupts?Speech

fact that ‘Moore’s law is done, kaput.’ Stork warned that just as MIPS used to be considered ‘meaningless indicator of performance,’ GFlops should be taken with a pinch of salt. Stork’s analysis came out in favor of working hard to speed up Intel’s CPU-based architecture, although ‘heterogeneous cores are the future.’
The SEG finished up with an HPC Workshop Chaired by Keith Gray with around 150 in attendance. Steve Briggs told how Headwave was focused on prestack volume visualization and analysis. Here GPU is ‘much easier now that CUDA is there’ although Briggs warns ‘You can do a lot of cool stuff with GPUs but they are not going to handle full datasets.’ They present many bottlenecks and roadblocks—and this is in the face of expanding data sets.
Steve Wallach (Convey Computer) described programming Cell-like architectures as ‘a nightmare.’ Programmer productivity is where it’s at, performance is a giveaway. Convey is refocusing on uniprocessor performance with a new ‘hybrid core’ computer that will expose standard Fortran, C, C++ to programmers. This uses an Intel socket and a Xilinx FPGA, tuned in hardware for oil and gas, financial services etc..
In the ensuing panel discussion, both Jim Ballew (Appro) and Pradeep Dubey (Intel) were skeptical regarding the advantages of the CPU. For Ballew, ‘it is and always has been about memory. A GPU could be infinitely fast—the issue is bandwidth between processor and GPU.’ Dubey agreed, adding that Intel’s answer, ‘Larabee,’ will be released ‘real soon now.’ Regarding the claimed GPU speedup Dubey suggested checking the (Intel) base line which could be ‘2x or 200x off.’ In a recent sort benchmark an Intel 4 core chip beat all GPU contenders.
This viewpoint was not shared by AMD’s Kevin McGrath who sees a hybrid future. The CPU will dominate the near term for many codes but GPU-like devices are very good at delivering performance. Programmer productivity is a challenge and needs open industry standard, tools like Brook+, OpenCL as opposed to ‘proprietary environments’ (like CUDA?).

It was originally brought up with Bill Clinton’s impeachment.
The senate tried to impeach Jackson but obviously, so instead, the censored him, which was later rescinded.
That is why I listed Slick Willy as 2nd and mentioned the “discussions” about Jackson.
1. Run up the National Debt to ruinous levels.
2. Destroy the economy and kill jobs.
3. Increase the number of people on welfare and food stamps.
4. Divide the country and pit one against the other.
5. Force the Border Patrol to look the other way and let our borders be overrun with illegals, we need the voting base.
6. Destroy the value of the U.S. dollar.
7. Lie to the American people over and over.
8. Creat in the middle of a recession.
I can go on and on but I don’t want to take up the whole page.
@389,
Don’t back off from your comments now! Don’t be a wingie coward!
So much for your conspiracy theories, evaporated into nothing. All you have left is your claims of superiority and nonsensical talking points.
I hope you’re not homeschooling your 12 year old!
@The Policies #407, you’re right about Jackson but Clinton still was the second pd, of course, and, in fact, Clinton emerged probably more popular than ever. Makes current discussions about Obama, who also has absolutely no chance of being convicted or removed from office, seem a little silly …
74 year old Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) alleged the Koch brothers of being the “main cause” of climate change.
Evidently he’s not yet enough of an embarrassment to the democrat party.
@et al. #404, yes, the story about the writing assignment is all over the news but the part about it being the result of common core is what is made up. Common Core doesn’t even start in California until next school year …
thanks laughed at tool …. just confirms that you have no clue and I would be waisting my time dicussing a financial analysis with you. But that’s fine I never expected anything else from you

’s control— and I don’t know if that is because of her cynicism about the worth of her own life or she’s skeptical about Curran himself (would really hurt her?).
Great discussion about the violent aspect of their relationship. I think it definitely plays a part into why they work as well as they do.
Kate was trained to be a killer, she uses violence to solve a lot of her problems, and she readily admits she has a fear of turning into Erra (who I consider the dark mirror of Kate- essentially what she could be if Kate were to release her inhibitions and selfishness).
I think it would be strange for these aspects of their personality to suddenly disappear just because they are romantically involved.
Now if you were to take their exchanges and put them in our society today, I would have to say that their relationship is quite dangerous and detrimental to their mental health. I don’t kick my husband in the head when we have a disagreement (no matter how much I want to).
The second issue is [Magic Slays] was the pace. It was too much packed into one book for me and not enough time spent exploring their relationship. Felt like a mad dash the whole way thru the book instead of just the last couple of chapters. It would have been ok to be a longer book, spend more time exploring them trying to sort out their relationship and her getting her business off the ground, sorting out julie. Overall still a good book and can’t wait for the next book. They didn’t take a completely strange path and alienate me like other authors have done. Just wish the path had been a bit slower and scenic…. </s> pulls off a cinematic magic trick: It brings back the original Rocky franchise to its full glory and reimagines it for a new generation. Michael B. Jordan plays Adonis “Donny” Creed, the illegitimate son of Rocky’s former friend and rival Apollo Creed. Jordan plays the young man as someone haunted by a legacy he never really got a chance to feel apart of. He pushes himself into the gyms and attempts to carve out his own reputation as a boxer. He just needs a little help from his dad’s old friend, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone).
Michael B. Jordan is a staggering force of charisma and the film is full of verve. Classic set pieces are reimagined with new force and the movie’s most sterling moment is a breath-taking extended 4-minute-long fight scene filmed in one single shot.

Rottweilers are calm and loyal, trainable and protective, courageous and highly devoted to their owners and family. Obedience training is essential and we recommend it to every puppy owner. Raising German Rottweilers with excellent care and love can give you a dozen or so years with your dog. A dog such as a Rottweiler contributes loyalty to the relationship he has with you, among other things, and in return he deserves nothing less from his owner.
If given an investment of time from his owner, a Rottweiler is the most rewarding, loving and satisfying canine to have around. We are proud to offer excellent working and show conformation Rottweilers who are bred to excel in anything from search and rescue, tracking, obedience trials, agility trials, service work, Schutzhund and protection work, and of course show exhibitions, to name a few, we breed and love them for their companionship. When looking for a Rottweiler puppy for your family we highly recommend you only purchase from a reputable breeder and know and see the lines you are getting. We'd be glad to offer advice in your search for a puppy and we hope our site can help you in that. You can e-mail us (falkenhausen.kennel@gmail.com) and we’d be glad to talk to you about our breeding program in more detail!
We are committed to providing puppies for show, Schutzhund, and guarding, but also as family companions. We have shown our dogs in both Europe and the United States. We have dedicated over a quarter of a century to producing top-quality Rottweilers.
No matter what you're looking for in the wonderful German Rottweiler breed, we make it our passion to help you find it in the Von Falkenhausen Kennel. Because we love and respect the ADRK German breed of Rottweilers, we want to preserve this special breed of dogs. Our extended experience and familiarity with this field has given us extensive knowledge of the best blood-lines. If you would like to speak with us about any decision regarding your dogs, we are always available for a good talk.

How to Classify Returning Interns Who Also Worked Part Time
April 29, 2019 | By NACE Staff
“When the following summer rolls around, do you re-classify the student as an intern and have him or her go through all of the intern onboarding again, even though [he] never left and are by this time fully embedded in their team?” the original poster asked.
One company that has approximately 100 returning interns per summer requires them to come to attend a portion of its student/new employee orientation; the returning interns are also required to sit through the company’s security briefing again.
A URR professional at another company says that the organization typically has several interns who return for a second summer. The company classifies them as interns and requires them to attend intern orientation again. Ideally, the responder notes, it's a great refresher and ensures returning interns are kept in the loop on any changes or updates to the internship program. Ith the organization’s other interns.
An organization with a defined internship program classifies returning interns as interns for the following summer to make sure they pull into all intern-related reports. This ensures these interns receive all programmatic updates and invitations to social and developmental opportunities. It also ensures that they go through the organization’s summer evaluation process and are considered for future opportunities at the end of the internship.

Third-generation Bayfield Wolverine makes his own legacy
Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2018 5:01 PM
Whether on offense, defense or special teams, Bayfield senior Keyon Prior has made the big plays at the right time to lead the Wolverines into the state quarterfinals.
Keyon Prior has made a habit of hurdling opponents this season en route to 11 total touchdowns.
Courtesy Richard Monyek
Keyon Prior has stiff armed his way through the competition all season, all while battling a nagging ankle injury.
Keyon Prior began the season with a pair of interceptions and a big night running the ball at Farmington. The Bayfield senior hasn't slowed down since.
In a 14-13 overtime win Oct. 19 at Pagosa Springs, Keyon orchestrated "The Pagosa Pitch" in overtime. The team went for a 2-point conversion trailing the Pirates 13-12, and a successful conversion gave the Wolverines a victory. But it didn't come easy. Keyon was handed the ball, and he was stacked up on the line of scrimmage by the Pagosa Springs defense. Without hesitation, Keyon pitched the ball to senior quarterback Hayden Farmer, who was able to walkscore.
A week later, the Wolverines went into Salida for the 2A Intermountain League championship game. Keyon and his fellow seniors have never experienced a league loss, but that was put to the test when the team went down 14-0 at halftime to the previously undefeated Spartans. It was Keyon who came up with the game-clinching touchdown pass on a halfback pass, as he rolled out and lofted a pass to senior running back David Hawkins, who went above two defenders to haul in the pass. Earlier in the game, Keyon caught a 2-point conversion for the go-ahead score that gave the Wolverines a 16-14 2-point conversion catch of the game.
Keyon Prior has gone up and over opposing defenders all season while helping lead Bayfield to 24 consecutive home wins.
Keyon Prior helped lead Bayfield past Montezuma-Cortez twice this season, as he played quarterback the second half of the regular-season game before he came up with two big touchdowns in the playoff win last week.
Keyon Prior was the point guard on the 2017-18 state championship basketball team for Bayfield, a title nobody expected the Wolverines to win.
Who is your favorite athlete?: Tim Tebow. When i was younger, all I remember is his touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas to win the (2011) wild card game. Even though he doesn't play football anymore, I respect him as a person.
Do you have a favorite team?: The Denver Broncos
What is your favorite sports movie?: 'Remember the Titans'
Who is your favorite superhero?: The Flash. I like being speedy.
What is your dream car?: A new Jeep Grand Cherokee
If you could take a vacation after you graduate, where would you go?: Greece, on the coast in the Mediterranean.
What is your favorite outdoors activity?: Going to jump off the cliffs with my friends at Navajo Lake.
What is your favorite food to eat after a game?: Cereal, Fruity Pebbles to be exact.
What teacher has made a great impact on you?: I think Ms. (Tara) Henderson. She respects me as a person, not just as a student. When I'm struggling, she's always there for me to help me learn, giving me extra time because she knows how much extra work I do outside of school, and she's just an amazing person. She helps me work harder, too. She has four or five English classes and gives a research paper to every class. That's a 3,000 word report, and she grades all of them within two weeks. She's just such a hard-working woman, and I respect her for that, and it makes me want to work harder.

Mosthatptoms or they may not recognize the symptoms when an outbreak is about to happen.
If symptoms occur during the first episode of a genital herpes outbreak, they can be quite severe.
The first outbreak of genital herpes usually occurs two weeks after the person gets infected by the herpes virus and the herpes sores heal within 2 to 4 weeks. The first episode of genital herpes symptoms will usually last for 2 to 4 weeks.
Most people who have the first episode of genital herpes symptoms have four to five outbreaks within the first year. However, over a period of time, the recurrence of herpes outbreaks decreases in frequency.
However, many people infected with genital herpes may never end up having herpes sores or they end up having very mild symptoms which they do not even notice mistaking the mildness for another skin condition or insect bites.
If you have cold sores then beware, because you may haed.
Today, there are no medicines that can entirely get rid of Herpes virus from the body.

bert's return to the airways is long overdue.


constantly shovels off his front porch, so we know the movie will be a journey into discovering how Lee ended up looking so bereft of life.
There is not a single weak link to be found in the cast here as each actor, no matter how small their role is, creates a multi-dimensional character worth following. Michelle Williams in particular has a show stopping moment as Lee’s ex-wife, Randi, as she tries to make peace with him after all they have been through. Williams has always been fearless in exploring emotions many of us have tried to numb ourselves to whether we realize it or not and, just like she did in “Blue Valentine,” she digs deep into the tragic nature of her character as Randi appears far more ready to deal with past than Lee is.
In a year which proved to be a mediocre one for motion pictures, “Manchester by the Sea” is easily one of the best for many reasons. If it has any flaws, they are hard to see on the first viewing. But even if you do spot any flaws, they are not enough to take away from how great a movie this is. Lonergan has given us a cinematic masterpiece which demands your attention as it deals with a subject that is never easy to grapple with. While the movie’s ending proves to be understandably ambiguous, he never leaves these characters without a sense of hope for the future.
Sad but very true. </s> Few.
Though he’s most remembered as an MGM poster boy, it was actually David O. Selznick who ultimately brought the theatrical actor to Los Angeles from New York—under Kelly’s condition that he would not have to take a screen test. Yet upon arriving in Hollywood, he languished, unused, for much of his early contract. Selznick agreed to loan him to MGM for what would become Kelly’s film debut: For Me and My Gal, alongside Judy Garland. Kelly said that he knew nothing about playing to the camera, and credited the veteran actress with pulling him through the picture. The film proved enough of a success that MGM picked up the rest of his contract, and began testing him in a variety of parts, including a few musicals, but also a few dramas and war pictures that seem odd and out of place now. But these were not the meaty or innovative or particularly memorable roles that he’s remembered for today.
Once again, it came down to a studio loan to take his career to the next level; this time, an agreement with Columbia Pictures gave him the starring role in Cover Girl, opposite Rita Hayworth. It’s a fun picture, perhaps most notable (in Kelly terms) for the incredible “Alter Ego” dance number, in which Kelly and a ghostlike superimposition of his conscience (also Kelly) dance together within the same frame. It was an incredibly technically complicated scene, in which Kelly and Stanley Donen had to choreograph both the dance itself as well as the camera movements. It would’ve been easier, of course, to film the number with a stationary camera, but the final result would not have been nearly as impressive.
Back at MGM, Kelly would complete his first film with future


This post is long overdue. The next Eid which is Eid-ul Adha is coming up on Dec 8th, and only now I am putting up pics of Eid-ul Fitr. The pic above was taken the day before Eid, last day of fasting month. It was raining in the morning and I love rain especially when I drive pass by the padi field on the way to office. The padi has been harvested in September so all one can see at this time around is just water. But it's a good time to catch fresh water fish inside these plots!
And Ezzat is happily showing his wallet full of money!
Another test shot. And this is taken at the boys' great grandparents's house at the village. They've passed away so many years ago but dad's sister and brother and his family live here. And one family is missing, another uncle who lives in Kuala Lumpur. Eid is not that fun when the Mukthi's fam are not all together. Otherwise we would have another 10 additional people in the pic!
Next stop - Uncle Sharuddin's house. And met my cousin, Nizam with his wife and kids. Actually we visited another uncle, mom's oldest brother - Nizam's father. But I didnt get to take nice pics there. Anyway, Nizam is the one sitting next to Ezzat, and his wife is on the very left. We're all tired by this time, coz it's already late afternoon but it's still fun and plenty of yummy food!
Here's Uncle Sharuddin, on the left, with his parents - my Tok Ciks, and his wife. Tok Cik - the one in blue is mom's uncle. That makes him hmmm..my 2nd grandfather?I also call his wife Tok Cik. Heh..so it can get pretty confusing sometimes. So there's a male Tok Cik and the female Tok Cik. Get it?
Aahh the lovely ladies. The 3 younger ones are Auntie Jah's daughters and that makes them my 2nd cousins. The one at the very right in light purple got married 2 days ago. Pictures to come later. Mom, u're closing your eyes!
These are nifty family pictures. Why does Emir have a white hat on and the younger boys have black?
The black hat which is called 'songkok' is more formal for this type of occassion. But Emir's songkok is too small for him so he has to wear the white one called 'kopiah'. Yup, Eid is one of those few times where we're able to get together like this. Just like Christmas!


Members of Wilson High School's Governor's STEM Competition team that won first place in this year's contest.
A team of five Wilson High School students has taken home the top prize in this year's Governor's STEM Competition.
The Governor’s STEM  challenges student teams from across the state Pennsylvanians by accomplishing a series of practical tasks that can fulfill real-world needs. This year’s theme was Improving Pennsylvania Through STEM.
The team from Wilson won first place in Division 1, as well as the top prize in the sustainability category. It is the second year in a row the team placed first in its division.
The contest is split into two divisions.
One is for teams that have competed in the contest at least once before over the past five years, while the other is for teams that have not taken part over the last five years.
The winning Wilson team was seniors Sanchita Bhusari, Cole Chmielewski and McCord Peterson, and juniors Colby Snyder and Luke Kline.
Their project was a fully autonomous vertical garden capable of growing organic food and creating portable green spaces in domestic, corporate and industrial capacities.
Gov. Tom Wolf"


Are you feeling like you’re always working the extra mile to please other people? Do you think that you aren’t doing something that is as fulfilling as it could be? You aren’t alone, and as a matter of fact, you are the reason that Pulse Socks exists.
The story behind Pulse Socks began in the health industry, where professionals take time out of their lives, to help others live out more of theirs. Everyone loads up on unnecessary stress in a matter of putting others before themselves and forgetting that they too are human.
Pulse Socks was founded on the initiative to remind each person, that to survive in this lifetime, you must take care of others, but to thrive in your lifetime, you must also consider the time for your well being. Knowing that it only takes one morning habit to help you start your day on a positive note, we have seen the effect that a colourful pair of socks can have on people and the community of people around them.
From that point, we set out to create a community built around the idea of a pair of socks to what Pulse Socks has become today.
We have THREE steps to our vision:
1) To achieve a platform where one can freely express gratitude and support one another within this community.
2) To help those who are struggling in silence achieve even the tiniest outlook of appreciation in their life.
3) To stand right to our beliefs and commit to bringing colour into everyone's lives.
We are only one part of the plan, but with your help, we can remain committed to our cause to help you, them and everyone in between achieving a more fulfilling lifestyle.


Call screening technology lets users see who’s calling and provides them with the ability to accept, decline, block, or route specific numbers. Identification details typically appear on your phone’s screen. Call screening features are commonly free and empower users with the ability to only answer calls that are worth your company’s time.
RingCentral provides call screening features as well as other business phone features like conferencing, an automated attendant, and integration with third-party business software. The company even Click the link below to get started today.
What Is Call Screening & How Does It Work?
In basic terms, call screening is technology that recognizes the characteristics of a telephone call and provides the user with the tools to decide how to answer the call, or whether to answer the call at all. In most phone systems, users can see who’s calling and either connect, send it to voicemail, or block the number from ever calling again.
Screening software recognizes the number of the caller and displays it on either your phone’s screen or your desktop app (unless they’ve paid for local number masking or have blocked their number), depending on the hardware you use to make calls. In some cases, it will also take that phone number and look for a match in your system’s contacts list. If it finds a match, you will see the caller’s name as well as their number.
Call screening features have been in both personal phones and business phone systems, such aservices, for many years now. While many users may take the feature for granted, it can be extremely helpful in saving employees time and energy, as they are not wasting time on low-priority or near-constant SPAM calls.
It’s hard to imagine a scenario where call screening isn’t helpful. After all, the ability to see who is calling your number and deciding whether or not to answer it is a useful feature for any busy employee who can’t afford to waste time answering spam calls or having any conversations not immediately relevant to their job.
Salespersons: Sales representatives usually count on their commissions to make a living. As such, they need to always be focused on making sales and can use call screening to determine which incoming calls are worth answering.
Young startups: Free services that cannot afford VoIP services like RingCentral can still have a professional phone presence thanks to free services like Google Voice, which greets calls and asks for their name before forwarding them to your end.
Spam haters: According to a study by Orion, nearly half of all call traffic in 2019 will be robocalls. Messages from scammers aren’t going anywhere, and call screening features are your organization’s first line of defense in avoiding spam.
All told, the positives of a call screening module far outweigh the negatives. These features ensure that you block out distracting and meaningless phone conversations. They also protect you from malicious actors who are plaguing the world’s phone networks. Virtually all types of business users can make use of the technology.
Perhaps the best thing about call screening is that it is often bundled into a phone system for free.
Virtual phone systems: There are free virtual phone systems, like Google Voice, that allow you to screen calls. Other paid systems, like Grasshopper, start at $29 and offer more advanced features like a free toll-free number.
VoIP phone services: Prices for VoIP services range anywhere from $12.99 per user, per month for Phone.com all the way up to $55 per user, per month for the most expensive version of 8×8.
Landline systems: Most landline business systems come with some sort of call screening functionality. Landline phones are much more expensive than their internet-based counterparts, and providers like Verizon can cost as much as much as $435 dollars per month for five lines.
No matter what type of phone service you have, you’ll probably have a call screening feature bundled in with it. The technology is practically expected in a modern telephony system.
Call screening and other VoIP business phone features are important parts of everyday phone use. First, the phone service usually recognizes the number and will automatically greet the caller with a voice greeting, where they are asked to say their name. Then, the recipient of the call is informed of this information on their screen. The recipient can then either answer, block, or route the call to voicemail via on-screen call options.
When someone calls your business, RingCentral and other solutions will automatically answer the call for you with a voice greeting. They might say something to the effect of “Thank you for calling [your organization]. Please say your name at the tone.” The system then takes that voice recording of the name and forwards it to your phone. During the process, a phone system will also recognize the phone number and look for a match in your contacts list.
Once the phone service has taken the name and number of the caller, you will get a notification on your mobile app, your desk phone, or any other compatible device you are working on. This can either be delivered via an audio message when your phone rings or as an on-screen transcription of the caller’s name.
When you know who is calling your line, your phone service will likely provide you with a set of options for managing the call. You can accept the call and get connected with the caller, or you can hit decline to send them right to your voicemail inbox. You can also choose to block the call, which automatically blocks the number from reaching you ever again. This is especially helpful for stopping known spam callers.
Call screening features can be found in just about any virtual phone service or VoIP system. Not only that, but the feature will usually be turned on by default when you start using the service. There are providers to meet virtually every business need and budget possible.

If you have one of Google’s flagship Pixel 3 phones, you can enjoy the latest in call screening technology right now. When someone calls your phone, you can tap the “Screen call” option. Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) assistant will ask who’s calling and why,. While this feature is exclusive to Pixel devices right now, the feature is being rolled out to newer Motorola handsets and other Android devices in 2019.
Call screening functionality is going to be beneficial for the vast majority of business users. With that in mind, there are some scenarios where it may not be the best fit. Here are some pros and cons of call screening features.
Efficiency: Call screening features ensure that you are only having important, useful phone conversations at work.
Security: Call screening keeps you safe from robocalls, scammers, and other kinds of nefarious spam calls.
Professionalism: Having an automated voice greeting can make your organization sound more established over the phone.
Human error: Call screening is only as effective as the humans who choose the calls.
Privacy concerns: Your callers may be distrustful of you if your organization asks for their name as soon as they call. This can be true whether or not you track such data.
Spam proliferation: Nearly half of all phone calls made in 2019 will be spam. Even the most careful call screeners will likely still get connected with the occasional malicious caller.
Because call screening technology is so common in phone systems, if you are a sales representative, or otherwise do a lot of cold calling, you’ve probably come across an automated call screener recently. Trying to get past gatekeepers and answering services can be frustrating in the best of times, let alone when you need to close a sale. Therefore, if you are trying to get past a call screen
Your call is far more likely to get picked up if you are using a valid, local telephone number. Some VoIP providers offer the ability to mask your toll-free number and appear on caller ID as a local phone. Taking advantage of such features could make a huge difference in getting your call picked up.
Many screening modules allow callers to state their name, the purpose of their call, or both. Be sure to state your purpose clearly and directly, as you may have as little as ten seconds to give this information to the auto-attendant. It might even be helpful to have a few lines written down on a Post-it so you always have it ready.
The scourge of spam calling has gotten so bad in recent years that many people simply don’t answer any call from an unknown number anymore. Fortunately, most phone systems now offer voicemail-to-email transcription, so people can quickly check on messages in their inbox. Ysomeone if you leave a voicemail and state the reason for your call.
What devices support call screening?
Virtually any device you use for calling will have call screening options, whether it’s a handset, a mobile app, or a desktop interface.
Can I choose what calls get screened?
Yes. In RingCentral, and most other solutions, you can go into your settings menu and set filters for specific numbers. For example, you can choose to only screen calls from numbers not already in your contacts list.
Can I automatically block all calls at specific times, like when I’m on vacation?
Yes. Most business phone services have an option to set business hours that can reject all calls between specific times. You can choose to either block calls or send all callers directly to your voicemail inbox so you do not miss any messages.
Bottom Line: What Is Call Screening?
Call screening is one of the most helpful advancements that telephony technology has ever had. The technology recognizes phone numbers, asks them for their information, and lets you know about incoming calls.
If you are looking for a phone service with call screening, we recommend RingCentral. The services gives you full control over who gets to reach you and also provides conferencing and automated attendant features.

The Nissan Qashqai has been around since before the Kardashians hit our screens. That feels like a lifetime ago, but it was 2006. The Qashqai is the OG of crossovers. It started what became an obsession, really. So much so that we saw the decline in sales of hatchbacks and so on. Customers could not get enough of this oddly named car. With the launch of the second generation, a total of five million Qashqai’s found homes globally. The third gen has just hit South African shores, but does it pay homage to the original? Let’s find out.
Where the Qashqai shines is with its new 1.3-mated to one of the best CVT’s in the business. This pairing is all kinds of refined. In fact, the entire experience of the new Qashqai is one of refinement. And sheesh, the cabin is one of the quietest I have experienced in a long time. But back to the engine. With 110 kW and 250 Nm, it is no slouch. In fact, it is easy to overtake slower traffic, on an incline, with a loaded car. We were four adults at one point, with all the camera gear, and it’s like the Qashqai was none the wiser. It just carried on as if it had just one passenger on board. The fuel consumption is also really impressive, it is claimed at 6.1l/100 km and unusually, this is very achievable if you drive mindfully. Be careful as it can creep up rather quickly if you are not keeping an eye on it.

Professor Sir Colin St John Wilson (1922-2007) likened his passion for collecting to 'a lifelong addiction'.
When as a student Professor Sir Colin St John Wilson chose to become an architect instead of a painter, his love of art was not easily suppressed. He spent much of his money on paintings, and earlier acquisitions would often be traded in as the only way of acquiring new ones. Wilson, better known as 'Sandy' to his friends, formed a number of friendships with contemporary artists through the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) in Dover Street and his association with the Independent Group (1952-55) and events such as 'This is Tomorrow' in 1956 at the Whitechapel Art Gallery.
As a result of his personal friendships, his portrait was painted by Michael Andrews, William Coldstream, David Hockney, Howard Hodgkin, R.B. Kitaj, and sculpted by Celia Scott. Wilson's collection is clearly structured around the group affiliations of the principle artists. The collection and the subsequent gift to the Gallery was developed in partnership with MJ Long, Wilson's second wife as well as his partner on a number of their architectural projects. MJ Long had designed studios for many of the artists in their collection, including Frank Auerbach, Peter Blake, Paul Huxley and RB Kitaj, furthering their close association with many of the leading artists of the late 20th century.
The Wilson Collection (part permanent gift through theArt Fund and part extended loan) consists of over 1000 paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures and contains a number of icons of British 20th century art, particularly of British Pop Art. These include Peter Blake's The 1962 Beatles (1963-8) and Girls with their Hero (1959), Patrick Caulfield's Portrait of Juan Gris (1963), Eduardo Paolozzi's Bunk portfolio (1948-1972) and Richard Hamilton's Swingeing London '67 (1967-68), in which Mick Jagger and the art dealer Robert Fraser are depicted in the back of a police van after a drug's conviction at Chichester Crown Court.

As IColumbia and Franklin streets on Friday afternoon, a school bus pulled up beside me. A little kid stuck his head out the window and yelled, "Yay!We made it to summer!"
I suspect you are correct. I also cynically expect that there is a tact agreement that groundbreaking will not occur until after the election. I also predict that there will be an after the fact realization of the impact among the "silent majority". Many will cry "why weren't we informed?"
The larger moral in all this is that it takes so little for politicians to do what's right in the short term and it makes such a difference in the long term, so why can't they just do it?It would have been so easy to just appoint someone only to serve out Strom's term and then start the seat anew in the 2011 election. And whoever would have won the seat probably have roughly the same political positions as Donna Bell anyway. It's so obvious that it was right and that it would be best in the long run. Why couldn't the people with the power resist?
How do we create a leadership team that better represents the many points of view of our residents?
Runner, in theory district voting could work. And now that we are gearing up to be a city not a town, it might make sense. My concern: Will the town remain heterogeneous enough to have meaningful districts?Elite apartment complexes have been approved for every quadrant of town. How will that affect district voting?
I think your idea of switching to district level voting is well worth exploring, and your specific suggestion for how it might work is well thought out. One challenge I see is how to you get council members who are the beneficiaries of at-large voting to agree to switch to a system under which they may not fare as well, especially if two or more of them happen to live in the same neighborhood?
I further think that district elections would invigorate the electorate and add to political participation in Chapel Hill. How can anyone be against that?
"Ilk" is neutral in my copy of Webster's — no connotations there, just means "same."
Don, In Chapel Hill the proper synonym for "loot" is "swag"
What is the benefit of fewer districts or multiple seats per district?Or models like Wake County where seats are districted but voting is at-large. Huh?
How is proportional representation achieved?Strictly by numbers (that is the minimum). Add in racial, and/or socioeconomic representation and things get orders of magnitude more complex and fluid. The result is gerrymandering, which in theory is not bad, but in practice becomes a tool (weapon?
The Obey Creek decision is simply the latest example of how, under our current at-large system, the interests of a well-organized and well-funded minority are able to trump those of the less well-organized and less well-funded majority. If you believe, as I do, that this situation is undesirable and undemocratic, why wouldn't you seek to change it?
David, tell me, what proof do you have of your assertion that a "well-organized, well-funded minority" is doing anything in town government?
Is it really true that someone who lives in Southern Village has fundamentally different needs, interests, and views than someone who lives in Larkspur?
Who should draw (delimit) the district lines and design the process?Since NC is neither Dillon's Rule nor Home Rule does the NCLeg need to approve?Do both the County and the Town have to be districted?
Single representatives per district or multiple?
What data should be used to determine proportional representation and how far into the future should that data be projected?
How often should district lines be redrawn?
Should districts align with other administrative boundaries such as schools?
What happens when there is no alternative but to divide a neighborhood among multiple districts?
How does the process insure minority interests are protected?(…
This is not what I would call representative districts…
"With a rallying cry of "Let the people draw the maps," AGR's petition drive gathered 33,000 signatures. That ensured Proposition 3 got on the ballot. The Austin American-Statesman endorsed it, and on November 6, 2012born."
In a nutshell the link below describes why the talk of district scares me. Intentional or not, the current county districts drawn by partisan in (I think) 2005, are very effective at driving wedges between town and county residents. Of course, this was all under the banner of "fair and just" which is defined by the party in power. No matter how much rhetoric, I fear that the political elite will be the "people that draw the maps9/one-mind-blowing-chart-shows-why-the-supreme-court-took-on-gerrymandering/?
