Another day, another reason to envy Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s blissful marriage. After gushing about each other every chance they get, the Big Little Lies star recently revealed that if she could, there is one thing she’d slightly change about their marriage — and it has everything to do with having more kids.

“We go, ‘Oh gosh, I wonder if we met when we were 25, then we could have had 10 of them!” the 51-year-old dished to People in this week’s cover story. “But Keith says, ‘Stop the wanting mind.’ It’s far better to be completely in love and satiated with what you’ve been given, what we’ve been given.”

Luckily for Nicole, being the mother to the couple’s two daughters, Sunday Rose, 10, and Faith Margaret, 8, is one of her greatest blessings.

Nicole and Keith, also 51, crave the similar lifestyle with their kids that includes shying away from the Hollywood spotlight and living a quiet, peaceful life. That’s why the lovebirds live with their daughters in Nashville. “My roots are deeply embedded here [in Nashville],” the blonde beauty, who also has kids Isabella, 26, and Connor, 24, with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise, dished.

Perhaps Nicole’s dream of expanding her brood with her hubby could be overlooked by the fact that their home is always bustling with Sunday and Faith’s friends. “Our house is always full of kids,” she admitted. “Sometimes we have eight kids over for dinner after school.”

But even though some days are far more hectic than others, Nicole never forgets to stop and smell the roses. “I’m so grateful,” she said of her family. Not only that, but the Moulin Rouge star is also thankful for the strong bond she shares with her country crooner husband.

However, it hasn’t always been rainbows and butterflies for the power couple. Nicole also spoke about overcoming life obstacles with her partner in crime. “Real love happens not when everything is going well but when things are going badly,” Nicole proposed. “It’s when human beings come together if they’re going to, in a far deeper way. You’re then having to work together, and the ‘together’ is what it’s about. Keith and I talk about that, because that ultimately is the definition of marriage and union and commitment.”

And the two have definitely been there for each other during the darkest times. Shortly after their 2006 nuptials, the “Blue Ain’t Your Color” singer entered rehab and has since then spoken publicly about being sober and his past addiction issues. But instead of abandoning him, Nicole never left Keith’s side.

Less than 10 years after Keith confronted his alcohol dependency, the dedicated husband and father returned the favor to Nicole after her father passed away. “Keith canceled his concert — he was about to walk onstage — and he got on a plane [to Australia],” she said. “He said, ‘This is why you have me. You don’t have to go through this alone.’ He came back that night, and I just fell into him. I was shattered.” Aww!

After all the trials and tribulations that life has to offer, Nicole feels lucky to have such a strong man by her side. And that’s exactly what she hopes for her daughters. “To see a union that is deep and real and loving, which is what Keith and I both grew up with too,” Nicole said, “is always a good thing, I think.”

McDonald's fights chicken-sandwich wars with value, while Burger King tests its pricing

Key Points
  • McDonald's new Crispy Chicken Sandwich is priced lower than those of rival chains, according to Credit Suisse.
  • McDonald's take on the classic menu item could boost same-store sales by as much as 4%, the firm said.
  • Burger King, on the other hand, is trying two different pricing strategies as it tests its own version of the chicken sandwich.

McDonald's Chicken Sandwich

McDonald's is going with lower prices to get an edge in the chicken-sandwich wars, while Restaurant Brands International's Burger King is still evaluating its options, a Credit Suisse report said.

Burger King's sister chain Popeyes kicked off the chicken-sandwich wars in August 2019 with the launch of its version of the menu item. Social media users pitted it against Chick-fil-A's, and Popeyes' sandwich quickly became a hit, driving double-digit growth in same-store sales and adding about $400,000 in annual sales for every location.

"We expect competition to heat up in 2021 as brands across segments elevate their offerings to take a bite out of the chicken category and enhance competitive positioning," Credit Suisse analyst Lauren Silberman said in a note Friday.

McDonald's is poised to launch its own take on the chicken sandwich on Feb. 24, and Yum Brands' KFC is rolling one out nationwide by the end of the month. Burger King is still in the testing stages.

McDonald's new Crispy Chicken Sandwich is undercutting its main rivals, Silberman said. The burger chain's sandwich is being priced at $3.49 to $3.69 in test markets, compared with Chick-fil-A's $3.75 sandwich or Popeyes' $3.99 version.

McDonald's may have learned a lesson from its last foray into chicken sandwiches. Its Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which was launched in 2015, was priced at a premium.

Silberman estimates that restaurants in McDonald's' test markets are selling about 125 to 150 Crispy Chicken Sandwiches a day on average. The analyst added that if restaurants hit the higher end of that range when the item launches nationwide, the sandwich could lift the company's same-store sales by 4%.

Burger King, on the other hand, appears to still be working out its pricing strategy. Silberman said one of its test markets is pricing the new sandwich at $5.29, well above its rivals. But two other test markets are pricing the sandwich at a discount, of $3.49 and $3.89. In markets that aren't testing the new sandwich, the burger chain usually charges more for its current chicken sandwich.

Burger King restaurants are selling an average of about 60 to 75 chicken sandwiches a day, according to Credit Suisse. The new sandwich could raise its same-store sales by as much as 4% if it sells 75 sandwiches per restaurant when it's launched nationwide.

Angry North Korea threatens nuclear U-turn

  • Story Highlights
  • Pyongyang says it has stopped disabling nuclear reactor
  • Suspension is in response to U.S. failure to drop it from terrorism sponsors list
  • North Korea also may consider restoring plutonium-producing facility
  • Washington, N. Korea have been negotiating how to verify disablement

(CNN) -- North Korea said Tuesday it has stopped disabling its nuclear plants and will consider restoring them because the United States has not removed it from a list of states that sponsor terrorism.

The communist nation said it halted the dismantling of the plutonium-producing plants on August 14, the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.

The North "will consider soon a step to restore the nuclear facilities in (Yongbyon) to their original state," the North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement that KCNA carried.

North Korea agreed to a complete dismantling of its Yongbyon nuclear complex by October. In return, U.S. President George W. Bush said he would lift some U.S. sanctions against North Korea and remove it from a State Department list of state sponsors of terrorism.

The sticking point between the two countries involves verification.

Washington said last week it will not remove North Korea from the terrorism list until Pyongyang agrees to set up an internationally recognizable mechanism to verify its declaration.

The U.S. has demanded that inspectors be given the right to visit all suspected nuclear facilities without notice, the South Korean news agency, Yonhap, said.

North Korea rejects that provision.

"The U.S. is gravely mistaken if it thinks it can make a house search in (North Korea) as it pleases just as it did in Iraq," the Foreign Ministry statement said.

In June, North Korean officials turned over to China a 60-page declaration, written in English, that details several rounds of plutonium production at the Yongbyon plant, dating to 1986.

In it, North Korea acknowledges producing roughly 40 kilograms of enriched plutonium -- enough for about seven nuclear bombs, according to the U.S. State Department.

Soon after, North Korea publicly destroyed a water cooling tower at the Yongbyon facility.

North Korea agreed to abandon its atomic weapons program on a promise that it would receive energy aid equivalent to one million tons of heavy fuel oil from the five nations involved in the disarmament talks: the United States, South Korea, China, Japan and Russia.

The parties to the talks also agreed on a system for verifying North Korea's compliance, including "visits to facilities, review of documents, interviews with technical personnel and other measures unanimously agreed upon among the six parties," according to a joint statement they released.

The North Korean Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that the United States was in "outright violation" of the agreement.

"The U.S., however, raised all of a sudden an issue of applying an 'international standard' to the verification of the nuclear declaration, abusing this agreed point," the statement said. "It (pressured North Korea) to accept such inspection as scouring any place ... as it pleases to collect samples and measure them."

South Korea's Foreign Ministry said it was disappointed by its neighbor's decision.

"The measure is regrettable as it came at a time when the six parties have to make concerted efforts to complete phase two of the denuclearization process," the ministry's spokesman Moon Tae-young told reporters.

He said Seoul "will work closely with relevant countries to have North Korea resume the disablement work as early as possible."

Geographically, a higher proportion of respondents of Asian areas similar to Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong plan to extend their data governance investments.

A class-action lawsuit alleging the Maker Foundation and others associated with lending platform MakerDAO knowingly misrepresented the risks of investment has been stayed and the case sent to arbitration.

  • In an order last Friday, Judge Maxine Chesney granted a motion by the Maker Foundation to refer the case to the American Arbitration Association as specified in a clause in the foundation's terms of service.
  • In the lawsuit filed in April, plaintiff Peter Johnson claimed the Maker Foundation, the Maker Ecosystem Growth Foundation and the Dai Foundation knowingly deceived investors, describing it as being a more secure investment than other assets because its DAI stablecoin is over-collateralized.
  • The plaintiff claimed he and other investors each endured six-figure losses when the price of DAI's primary collateral, ether (ETH), dropped sharply in the March 12 "Black Thursday" crash, liquidating thousands of collateralized debt positions (CDPs) held by investors.
  • That was despite being assured that the over-collateralization policy would safeguard against large drops in the value of ether and result in a maximum 13% loss, Johnson claimed.
  • According to the project’s white paper, the 13% figure is not a hard cap but may vary dependent on internal conditions in the Maker ecosystem, though the plaintiff claimed that various Maker products state the figure is the maximum strike.
  • Johnson claimed to have lost more than $200,000 worth of ether during the crash.
  • By bringing the matter to court, Maker has argued that Johnson acted in defiance of the arbitration clause he agreed to when signing the terms of service in 2018.
  • Johnson attempted to counter in August, claiming Maker’s 2018 agreement was based on an outdated and "now abandoned product,” but the court rejected that claim on Friday.
  • Legal proceedings have now been halted until the arbitration proceedings have been settled, vacating a previously scheduled court hearing on Oct. 2.
  • The plaintiff had been expecting to have up to 1,000 members join the lawsuit seeking damages equivalent to the total claimed losses of around $8.325 million, plus punitive damages of $20 million.
  • It's not clear how many investors had joined the class action.

CU professor wins Pulitzer in history

The Associated Press

BOULDER – Elizabeth Fenn, an associate professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, has won the Pulitzer Prize in history.

Fenn won for her book, “Encounters at the Heart of the World: A History of the Mandan People.”

The Mandans live in what today is North Dakota. They hosted the Lewis and Clark expedition during its first winter encampment in 1804-1805.

Fenn said Monday that the Pulitzer shows that the Mandans are getting recognition as a crucial part of early American history.

Letter: CSU faculty resignation only viable option

The five members of the Colorado State University’s faculty who resigned from the executive faculty committee should be commended for their actions. As reported in the Coloradoan, their reason for leaving was that faculty were “at an impasse over how to express faculty concerns with the administration — including about a planned on-campus stadium.” The stadium project is a perfect illustration of the current administration’s method of dealing with opposing views within the institution.

Despite many assurances from President Tony Frank regarding the construction of a stadium, his statements are inconsistent, ambiguous and largely disputable. The costs associated with the project have continued to rise, the anticipated sources of revenue have continued to decline, and there has never been a convincing explanation of the stadium’s benefits.

The empire of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is crumbling under the weight of various lawsuits. Within five years, institutions will pay athletes for participating in sports with lucrative television contracts, and only a handful of schools will be capable of competing at a top national level.

Everywhere else, those athletes will be considered employees with all rights available to employees, such as a minimum wage, workers’ compensation, and health care. Costs of maintaining those football programs will far exceed any anticipated income from the sport for most universities, and the NCAA will become irrelevant.

In the face of administrative intransigence, faculty representatives at CSU viewed resignation as the only viable option. More resignations would make the point even more clearly.

Carnival of Souls (1962) was a horror film directed by "Herk" Harvey, whose steady job was making industrial films in Kansas. He and his screenwriter, John Clifford, decided that they wanted to break away from those and make something along the lines of Ingmar Bergman and Jean Cocteau, but since their budget was small, and Harvey wanted to center the story around an abandoned carnival, the horror story was born. (Presumably, George A. Romero saw it in 1962 and it inspired him to make Night of the Living Dead.)

A girl, Mary (Candace Hilligoss), is the only survivor of an accident after a carload of young people careens over a bridge. She leaves town, accepting a job as a church organist. She immediately strikes us as strange. She has no manners. At a gas station, she barks, "fill 'er up" to the attendant without so much as a "please." Her new landlady, who goes out of her way to make sandwiches, gets an equally cold shoulder. But her new neighbor across the hall tries the hardest and gets the biggest brush off (which is okay, because he's kind of a sleazy loser).

Hilligoss was an interesting bit of casting. She was a stage actress trained in the "method" who was essentially asked to play a girl with no soul. She had an interesting face, with large features and a sharp voice. Even when her character is too cold to identify with, the viewer is still drawn in by her strangely cinematic face.

But maybe Mary has a reason to act odd. She keeps seeing a white-faced ghoul man following her around, even while she's driving. The movie has one supreme moment of horror when she looks out her passenger window while driving on a dark highway and sees the man standing outside her window, as if she weren't moving at all. Later, Mary explores the abandoned carnival and finds more ghouls, who seem to have some kind of sinister purpose for her. The film creates some genuinely freaky and surreal sequences that still have the power to startle.

Having Mary play the organ was a masterstroke, as Harvey and Clifford were able to use spooky organ music for their score as well. The movie is a triumph of mood over character, since we can't drum up much affection for such a cold-hearted girl. And, though their budget was tiny, Harvey and Clifford achieved the art-house look they were going for.

I now know more about Carnival of Souls (1962) than I ever thought possible. I had seen it once before, on a laserdisc after the 1989 theatrical re-release, and thought it an amusing cult film not far away from Night of the Living Dead (1968). Now I see it with a clearer view, thanks to the Criterion Collection's more-than-comprehensive 2000 DVD release. Indeed, few DVD's have covered the immense amount of ground that Carnival of Souls has. Though the material is exhuastive, true fans of the movie will find themselves in pig-heaven and scholars will find that everything they need to truly understand the movie is right there at the push of a button.

In 2016, Criterion released an extraordinary new Blu-ray edition, restored and mastered in 4K, with an uncompressed monaural soundtrack. It appears that they have abandoned the 83-minute cut that was included on the DVD; this is the theatrical cut, which runs 78 minutes. An old commentary track by Harvey (who passed away in 1996) and Clifford that was once attached to the longer cut has now been added to the new transfer. Though it's not scene-specific, and contains a lot of dead air, it's still quite interesting.

The older extras included on the new disc are a theatrical trailer, clips of Harvey's and Clifford's industrial films, a documentary about the movie's 1989 re-release, about 28 minutes of outtakes (less than on the DVD), and a documentary about the dilapidated carnival, the Saltair resort. New extras include an interview with comedian Dana Gould, a video essay by film critic David Cairns, and an update on the film's locations that was presumably made in 2000, but not included on the DVD. New liner notes are provided by writer and programmer Kier-La Janisse.

Either on DVD or Blu-ray, Carnival of Souls is an outstanding disc and a worthy addition to any library. But long-time fans of this cult classic are the real winners.{subid}&url=hitlist.asp?searchfield=marvel

What is Wrong with Jayson Tatum?

Not only is he the owner of some the worst tattoos this side of the Mississippi but does Tatum also stink at basketball? Does getting covid mean you lose your ability to shoot a basketball? That's sort of trolling but also a legit question. Watching Tatum the last month or so since coming back from covid has been painful and frustrating most night. Last night was another good example, 5-16 shooting, 1-5 behind the arc. This isn't just a one off either, in the last 4 games he's shot, .313, .545, .222, .200 from the field. That's okay if your a utility infielder but horrible if you play in the modern day NBA. He can still flash in some spurts as we saw against the Bullets but is this Tatum's game? Is he just a streaky ball player that can flash on some nights but be completely horrible other nights? Great players are great because they consistently bring it game in and game out. Tatum isn't there yet, he can be, he is still young only 23 yrs old, but the more I watch him the more I think he isn't a superstar franchise player, he is more a 2 or a 3.

Now it isn't completely his fault either, he doesn't have a coach that is able to make him a better player and certainly the GM has no clue that he isn't a number one player. So he could be stuck in this middle ground for years to come. Now before you green teamer buffoons blow a gasket, there are very little number one guys in the league. Lebron currently might be the only one. Durant can't win and have a contender by himself he needs a solid 2 and 3. He had that in Golden State and he has it now in Brooklyn until Kyrie goes off his rocker again. So while Tatum could be a solid 2 and can still win in this league, I don't think it happens in Boston. He is going to have to go somewhere and join up with some other players to truly contend. It is a shame but it's the reality of where the Celtics are and how they are content being just a playoff team and not a contender. So Tatum, you are on the watchlist, it's time to put up or shut up. You do not want to be part of the Stevens, Ainge, Smart group. I won't stop until I run them all out of town, so just play better and don't piss me off every other night.

Voting Application Using ASP.Net

In today's increasing technology demands, many tools have come onto the market and there have been reviews of specific products (or other specific things) from customers to improve the product quality or to get opinions of them, so we will make a voting control application using ASP.Net C#.
Use the following procedure to create the sample application "Empsys":
  1. "Start" - "All Programs" - "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010".
  2. "File" - "New Project" - "C#" - "Empty Web Application" (to avoid adding a master page).
  3. Provide the web site a name such as "VotingApp" or another as you wish and specify the location.
  4. Then right-click on Solution Explorer - "Add New Item" - "Default.aspx page".
  5. Drag and drop two buttons, three labels and one Radio Button list
The Default.aspx page source will be as follows:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "">

    <title>article by vithal wadje</title>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

            Is Vithal Wadje is Next MLA from Latur ?

        <asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonList1" runat="server">
        <asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonList2" runat="server" Font-Bold="True">

        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Vote_Click" Text="Vote" />
        <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="View Votes" OnClick="ViewVotes_Click" />

        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label" Font-Bold="True" Font-Size="X-Large"></asp:Label>

        <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Label" Font-Bold="True" Font-Size="X-Large"></asp:Label>

        <asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text="Label" Font-Bold="True" Font-Size="X-Large"></asp:Label>
 Now the UI will will look such as follows.
In the preceding sample UI I have added one question (it's just an example; I love coding, not MLA post) and on that there are two buttons of a Radio Button List that are "Yes" and "No" and after checking one of the Radio Buttons and clicking on the above Vote button, the vote will be registered and then on the View Votes button click it shows the results of all votes in one label, so let us start coding to fulfill our application requirements.
Vote Button click Logic
    protected void Vote_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            if (Request.Cookies["State"] == null) //check if cookies is null,in this we checking the user is already voted or not
                foreach (ListItem item in RadioButtonList1.Items)
                    if (item.Selected == true)
                        //in C:\\Users\\vithal\\Desktop\\vote\\Result.txt location  Votes are Saved Instead of Database
                        FileStream fs1 = new FileStream("C:\\Users\\vithal\\Desktop\\vote\\Result.txt", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write);
                        StreamWriter sw1 = new StreamWriter(fs1);
                        HttpCookie HC = new HttpCookie("State");
                        HC.Values["State"] = "Set";
                        HC.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(2); //Added cookies Expires time
                        Label3.Visible = true;
                        Label3.ForeColor = Color.Green;
                        Label3.Text = "You Have voted Sucessfully";
                Label3.Visible = true;
                Label3.ForeColor = Color.Red;
                Label3.Text = "You are already Voted"; //if cookies not null means user is already voted
In the code above, when the vote button is clicked, it first checks the cookies for null, if null then it is a successful vote, if the cookies are not null then that means the user has already voted.
The Important point of this application is that we are not using a database to store the votes, we are using a text file for that so you need to create the same text file that I created, a Result text file at the location:
I hope you have created the same. Now to move towards the, the view Votes button code logic is as in the following:
    protected void ViewVotes_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
           int yes = 0;
           int no = 0;
           FileStream fs2 = new FileStream("C:\\Users\\vithal\\Desktop\\vote\\Result.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
           StreamReader sr2 = new StreamReader(fs2);
           sr2.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
           string str = sr2.ReadLine();
           while (str != null)
               if (str == "Yes")
                   yes = yes + 1;
               if (str == "No")
                   no = no + 1;
               str = sr2.ReadLine();
           float a=(float)yes/(yes+no)*100;
           int aresult = (int)a;
           int bresult = 100 - aresult;
           Label1.Visible = true;
           Label1.ForeColor = Color.Brown;
           Label1.Text ="Yes :"+"   "+"  "+ Convert.ToString(aresult) + " " + "%";
           Label2.Visible = true;
           Label2.ForeColor = Color.Brown;
           Label2.Text = "No :"+"   "+"  "+Convert.ToString(bresult) + " " + "%";
In the code above, we are reading the results from a text file using StreamReader, then in one float variable we are counting the percentage  of votes and showing that on a label.
We are done with the code, now it's time to run the application and Vote. Now run the application to vote for Vithal Wadje as in the following:
Now, suppose four users have voted, out of the 4, three have voted yes and one of them is No and I have voted from my browser, then if I try to vote again, it shows the following message:
In other words, I have already voted and using cookies we are detecting duplicate votes. For further explanations please see the code.
Now click on the View votes button, the result will be as in the following:
Now in the preceding result, you can see that 96 % of the people voted yes Vithal Wadje is the next MLA from Latur and 4% are unhappy peoples saying No Vithal Wadje is not the next MLA from Latur, in other words before election, I need to make them happy!
Now from all the preceding examples, we have learned how to create a voting application. I hope you have enjoyed this article as you read it.
  • Don't forget to create the text file for storing votes.
Now from all the preceding examples, we have learned how to create a voting application in ASP.Net C# and depending on your requirements you can change the logic. I hope you have enjoyed reading this article. If you have any suggestion regarding this article then please contact me.

I had a bill for 4.46 that I haven't been able to pay
I have taken on a second job to pay legal fees that I have to pay due to my child getting into trouble. I can barley buy us food to eat. This late fee is more then my mortgage company charges on a 1000 mrotgage. When I called into, I assumed that the customer service rep would be more understanding and happily take the original amount due but instead she wants to tell me that she can let me speak to a supervisor but she is gonna tell me the same thing. So would you still like to speak to her?

UK CIOs lament lack of IT support for cloud services

Research from ElasticHosts suggests most cloud users are unhappy with the level of tech support they receive from their providers

Moving to the cloud has left three out of four users feeling dissatisfied with the level of service and support they receive, research claims.

According to a poll of 200 UK CIOs, commissioned by cloud hosting provider ElasticHosts, 93% are now using off-premise technologies, but 75% feel making the move has forced them to make sacrifices in service and support.

To reinforce this point, 33% of respondents said they feel moving to the cloud has meant forfeiting access to most IT support; while 84% said service providers could do more to reduce the maintenance burden this places on in-house IT teams.

Some of the most common gripes users shared about their experiences of using cloud support services centred on slow response times to customer queries (47%); the low-levels of tech knowledge demonstrated by callcentre staff (41%); and the use of automated phone systems (33%).

While some cloud providers offer additional support contracts, if users are willing to pay a little extra each month, ElasticHosts' research suggests most users (80%) resent having to pay a premium for it.

Richard Davies, CEO Of ElasticHosts, said the research highlights the misconceptions around how using cloud means in-house IT departments will have less work to do.

“Many companies adopt cloud so they can take away the headaches related to managing their IT, and reduce the burden on in-house IT staff. Therefore, the need for ongoing support and services will naturally be reduced, as it is outsourced,” he said.

“Yet, when using any service, you want to be able to ask questions – whether that’s to learn how to configure a server or to query a bill – and you should be able to do this without having to pay a hefty premium.”

The findings came on the back of another report into the frustrations experienced by software-as-a-service (SaaS) users by cloud firm StratoGen, as the hype surrounding the technology gives way to tales about the realities of using it.

“The industry should be doing more to help customers. Users are right to expect expert support included as standard with their cloud services,” he said.

“The first person that they contact for support should be an engineer with strong technical understanding of the service, not just a call handler.”

Read more about cloud adoption trends

Research from Harvard Business Review suggests IT departments are maintaining a firm grip on enterprise cloud deployments.

The day-to-day frustrations of cloud users have been laid bare in a new survey, which suggests high levels of discontent exist among adopters of off-premise tools and technologies.

About Elite Precast Concrete Ltd

Elite Precast Concrete are one of the UK’s leading precast concrete manufacturers. The business combines the highest levels of customer service with always being the best value option.

Our focus is on driving down the cost base and then passing these savings onto our customers. This enables us to provide constant and predictable price structures which in turn underpins our ethos of developing customer relationships over the long term. Indeed, over 65% of our clients have done business with us on at least two previous occasions.

We have a huge range of "semi-dry" and "wet-cast" products which we supply to every sector of UK industry imaginable. We have clients including small start ups, private individuals and international blue chip businesses. Every client is cherished and each one receives the highest possible level of personal and professional service.

The blocks measure 1.2m x 0.6m x 0.45m and weigh 750 kgs and interlock using ‘lego’ type connectors. They are dry laid which makes them quick and easy to install. If additional interlocking strength is required the blocks can also be linked together by inserting a connecting steel rod through the middle of the blocks.

Capping pieces are available to give a great looking finish and should the blocks ever need to be moved that is easily done by using a simple ‘Deha’ type lifting pin.

The blocks are ideal for a variety of applications such as:
  • Bay walls for bulk material storage
  • Silage clamps
  • Earth retention
  • Security/property protection
  • Traffic calming

The system was recently utilised by Power Plane Ltd of Hinckley, Leics. Ian Chattington from Power Plane Ltd remarked "the simple and cost effective solution provided by Elite’s blocks has meant that we can recycle a material that would otherwise have been disposed of in a landfill site. The blocks were quick to install and we can move them easily should we need to."

Cork Alliance Centre

Cork Alliance Centre 15 years on...

Posted on August 31, 2017 at 9:45 AM

The 1st September 2002 - 15 years ago tomorrow - I started in the Cork Alliance Centre. When I say I started - I sat in the newly rented and very empty office, wondering what I’d taken on and what I needed to do next.... In that empty office space, with no staff, no manuals to work from, and the fear of not being up to the mark… the adage 'be careful what you wish for' had really landed on my doorstep.

15 years later, and tomorrow is an equally notable day – tomorrow, I co-facilitate a workshop in the Irish Prison Service College with James a former client. The workshop is with newly recruited prison officers. It is part of the innovative community focus of the training, including the user voice, to ensure that the new recruits have an insight into the desistance and change process and the important role they can play in it.

I have a job which helps people to constructively change their lives, which is a true gift. Whilst people’s desistance journeys are not always straight forward or direct, I meet people every day who are trying… and I know many who have successfully left crime in their past.

Yes, our clients may have spent time in prison, and yes, many have or have had addictions, violence and chaos in their lives, BUT they all talk and dream of getting their lives sorted, and like all of us are striving to be “better versions of themselves”* . Their dreams and wants are no different from anyone else’s - and we play a part in working out how this can happen. As President Michael D. Higgins, in his address at our conference stated “the task of transformation, is a task that is one that involves more than those in prison”* and this is where we place ourselves.

To be allowed into people’s lives at this level is the essence of hope for me. Hope is what our project is about - hope for change, hope for something better, hope to be better and ultimately hope for happiness. (Given the challenges and difficulties we work within, as a team we have a "hope check-in" each evening – where we each identify something that gave us hope in the day – not what we are hopeful of but real tangible events.)

Reflecting on my past 15 years, what gives me hope is

  • hope in seeing peoples courage, stick-ability and tenacity in the face of huge challenges;
  • hope in knowing the resilience of the human spirit;
  • hope in feeling the depth of peoples kindness, care and openness to helping others;
  • hope from having inspiring people in my life today, people who I am better for knowing and working with, and whose knowledge, insight and experience I rely on to guide our project;
  • hope when people have the courage to phone or come in day one, and to continue to do so, despite the meanders of their journey;
  • hope from knowing that people know they can always turn to us if and when they need to;
  • hope from working with a team so committed to their work, that on top of it they have hosted two of the most amazing conferences on desistance;
  • hope in the people who gave of themselves and their life stories at our conferences, to help people understand the journey out of crime/ addiction and to encourage others onto their own path of desistance;
  • hope from having a Board with such understanding and grá for our work;
  • hope from the positive changes that have happened in both the Probation and Prison services;
  • hope from President Michael D Higgins giving such a connected and heart felt key note address at our conference last year;
  • hope when people outside our project hear about our work, see the value of it and appreciate that people do change;
  • and most importantly, hope from the relationships that are change, affect change and sustain change.

The road to change asks a lot from people on their journey of desistance from crime, and in return we label them 'ex-offender /ex-prisoner', making it a never ending prison sentence. We choose to continually hold them in a world they are trying to leave, we choose to close doors for them because of our fears and yet somehow we expect them to face theirs. We find it appropriate to continually punish someone for literally forever and a day. We chose that not them. If we want people to change we have to allow it to happen. So yes we may have to dare to hope, and dare to trust, but change can only happen if we all dare, and we need to ‘dare greatly’. This, I am hopeful for in the (not too distant) future.

As a closing note, I’m reminded of President Michael D Higgins tribute to our work and the hope he gave us through his presence, his understanding, his solidarity and support, and his recognition that “this work is critical, and the benefit of your work cannot be overestimated, and it will not just last for a day, it is something that will endure and it is a crucial contribution, a building block, towards building the ethical society in which we all want to share, in all our imperfections and the versions of our wounded selves.”*

"In the peace of Gower’s gentle farmland – with beaches and bays close at hand . . ."

The Gower Peninsula with its rolling countryside and miles of unspoilt coastline is the setting for these very comfortable holiday cottages which themselves are set on 30 acres of land. The cottages have been furnished and equipped to a very high standard, and are double glazed throughout. Visitors enjoy shared use of a games room with table tennis and a pool table, and may relax in the garden area; bicycles are available for hire in Swansea and facilities for water sports and fishing are close at hand. There is easy access to many beautiful sandy beaches and coves within 10 miles or so, and opportunities nearby for scenic moorland and coastal walks in this designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Gowerton, with its shops and pub, and local trains to west and mid Wales, is only half a mile away.

A nearby cycle track leads to the Mumbles, which is famous for its lighthouse and lifeboat station and also boasts seaside attractions, a pleasant promenade and lots of sailing dinghies and small boats. At Penclawdd (3 miles), cockle fishermen go out on to the mudflats at low tide with horse-drawn carts to rake out the cockle harvest. Many of the Gower’s sandy beaches are backed by dunes, and some offer excellent wind-surfing; there are sandy coves with rock pools and the coastal path leads to wonderful cliff-top views. Inland, the sheep and sturdy Gower ponies roam moorlands which offer further opportunities for walks, picnics, riding and bird-watching.
A number of National Nature Reserves are home to rare birds and plants. The glistening Loughor Estuary provides a haven for waders and geese among the rice-grass, sea lavender and marsh mallow of Llanrhidian Marsh, all overlooked by the summit of Cilifor Top, which is crowned with an extensive Iron Age fort; a nearby lane passes the ruin of Weobley Castle, once a fortified manor house; on the Gower, visitors can explore history and natural history side by side at every turn, almost everywhere with the sound of the sea in the background.

Hang-gliders take off from Rhossili Down, now in the care of the National Trust, and swoop over the bay, whose three-mile sweep of golden sand is one of the most spectacular on the Welsh coast and often offers ideal conditions for surfing. The many facilities of Swansea include restaurants, shops, theatres, leisure centre, concert halls, museums, golf courses, extensive parks and gardens, a marina and the Welsh National Swimming Pool and sandy beaches with bathing (6 miles). A 30-minute drive leads to the National Botanical Gardens in Carmarthenshire, whilst an 18-hole golf course and a wildlife and wetlands sanctuary are both only ten minutes away by car.
Within an hours’ drive and well worth a visit is the lively capital city of Cardiff with its National Museum of Wales at St Fagans, as well as Cardiff Bay and the new tidal barrage. Nowadays, the Gower is more easily accessible by road, and the warming effect of the Gulf Stream means that the weather for visitors to the cosy cottages of Cefn Gorwydd can be exceptionally pleasant at any time of year. Shops ½ mile.

About me

'There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you' (Maya Angelou)

We all have our own unique stories which can shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. Everyone faces challenges at some point in their lives which can impact on our mental wellbeing.

How Counselling Can Help

Counselling, which is often described as ‘talking therapy’ is a psychological exploration of emotional issues in confidence with a trained practitioner. This can help us to come to terms with our past; have greater self-awareness about our feelings and how we react. Counselling can be empowering and enable us to consider different perspectives and create shifts towards achieving a more healthier and balanced life.

How I Can Help

I offer one to one counselling to work through your concerns in a warm, non-judgemental space, where you will feel safe. I am passionate about working inclusively with people from all walks of life and backgrounds. Whether you have had counselling before or are new to therapy I am dedicated to working with you.
I will gently invite you to bring your whole self into the work. By talking and thinking about the different parts of your life and by exploring your relationships, unconscious themes and patterns may emerge. I will work with you entirely at your pace; working towards change needn't be forced nor rushed.

Counselling and You

  • At times do you find yourself unable to cope? Have you found that you feel unconnected, lost and overwhelmed?
  • Are you thinking about issues around your identity and questioning who you are?
  • Do you feel stuck and unable to move forward?
  • Have you had to deal with an accumulation of difficulties?
  • Have you experienced a life-changing event recently or in your past?
  • Or would you like a space just for you to talk to someone who will pay attention to what you have to say without feeling judged?

Whatever your challenges are, there are many ways that I will work with you to help you to better understand and think about your story. Only you know your story and only you can tell it. I am here to listen, to support, and to explore with you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified Humanistic-Integrative Counsellor with experience in the NHS and in community organisations. I provide counselling to parents and carers of children with ASD in a Neurodiversity charity.

As an Integrative Counsellor means my practice is informed by a range of theories that will depend on what will work best for you.

My approach is transcultural, this is an exploration into the unconscious impact of culture on emotions, thoughts and behaviours. This allows you to bring your unique experience, history, and narrative into the therapy, this can be empowering and allows a deeper insight into your personal story.

As a registered member of the BACP I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework.This is very important to my practice as it follows a code of conduct for good practice.

Member organisations

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.

Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.

All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Dr. Harsh Vardhan: “A robust Climate Risk management framework calls for a multi- level approach across the country to determine various climate change risks likely to impact the country while also providing a broad understanding of the loss and damage likely to be caused due to these risks”

The Minister Science and Technology, Earth Sciences and Health and Family Welfare, Dr Harsh Vardhan today said that “A robust Climate Risk management framework calls for a multi- level approach across the country (national, sub-national, regional and local) to determine the various climate change risks likely to impact the country while also providing a broad understanding of the loss and damage likely to be caused due to these risks”. He was delivering a special address as the Chief Guest at the three-day Conference on “S&T Research- Policy-Practice Interface for Climate Risk Management” jointly organized by National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM) through video conferencing in New Delhi.

Stating that “Science and technology has a critical role to play in the climate adaptive planning to help building disaster resilience and sustainability contributing to our journey towards self-reliance as part of PM’s clarion call for an Aatmnirbhar Bharat”, the Minister said that “Department of Science and Technology (DST) has made some major achievements in the implementation of two national missions on CC as part of National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). Under the two missions, as many as 200 projects of different sizes have been supported which include 15 Centres of Excellence, 30 Major R&D programs, 14 Network programs which comprise of nearly 100 projects, 6 Task Forces; 25 State CC Centres, etc. During last 6 years, as many as 1500 research papers in high impact factor journals were published. More than 100 new techniques have been developed and nearly 50,000 people are trained as part of these missions.  More than 1200 scientists and students are working in these mission projects.” He underlined that “In a changing time with onset of new technologies but also the new challenges and social-behavioural changes, a new paradigm of science policy practice is much warranted.”

Dr. Harsh Vardhan pointed out that “According to a survey made by independent agencies like Globe Scan and National Geographics for 18 countries in the world, India ranks one in terms of a parameter called Greendex which is a measure of sustainability and life style.  Despite so much of contribution to sustainability and environment, India is one of the worst impacted countries in the world in terms of extreme events. India is among few countries which witnesses almost all types of disasters like earthquake, tropical cyclones, flood, tsunami, thunder storms, hail storms, lightening, heat wave, etc. Improved warning systems have greatly helped reducing loss of lives but the loss of property continues to increase as more and more infrastructure due to economic development is getting exposed to disasters.”

Dr. Harsh Vardhan said that “There has been an increasing trend in the frequency and severity of climate change inflicted extreme weather events. Growing risks are pushing vulnerable people, communities and countries to their physical and socio economic adaptation levels”, and added that “there are needs for proper strategies not only to save people from disasters but also to build resilience towards disasters, educating people about the types and nature of disaster and ways to build resilience are of great importance. This would need building capacity of the communities to face these disasters.”

In his keynote address, Prof Ashutosh Sharma, Secretary, DST, said that “Climate Change is a global problem. But per capita emissions (accumulative emissions that drive climate change) in India is less, and we are not part of the problem. However, we need to develop efficient use of technology to be part of the solution.”He added that it is evident that disasters are linked to climate, and we have to be atmanirbhar in dealing with disaster preparedness. Likewise, self-reliance is needed in tackling climate change, sustainable development, and anti-bacterial resistance. “For this to happen, connecting our systems and community participation are important. Knowledge creators and knowledge consumers need to work together. The role of industry and private sector and disruptive technology is significant”, he pointed out.

Dr. Akhilesh Gupta, Advisor & Head-SPLICE & Climate Change Programme, DST, GoI (Chair), highlighted how DST is supporting climate change programmes across the country. “We have difficult situations like flood, cyclone. Additionally, with the pandemic COVID-19, it is crucial at this juncture to have disaster preparedness. We should work on disaster management with Science & Technology solutions,” he stressed.

The Conference was organised by the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM), Ministry of Home Affairs, & Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India, in collaboration with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.

It was organized in the context that India is already prone to multiple disasters due to its wide range of environmental, geological, and developmental variations, and people’s vulnerability of disasters is aggravated with climate and associated environmental changes.

The three-day conference aims at all-inclusive roadmap development through discussion & dialogue on experiences and lessons, gaps, and opportunities to utilize the range of S&T disciplines and innovations, including traditional and local science and role of institutions for promoting the same.

Other notable speakers at the conference included Maj Gen Manoj K Bindal, Executive Director, NIDM, GVV Sarma, Member Secretary, NDMA, Farhad Vania, Senior Portfolio Manager, GIZ India, and Kamal Kishore, Member, NDMA. Prof. Anil K Gupta, Head-ECDRM NIDM & PD-CAPRES DST Project (Convener), and Mr Ashish K Panda, Faculty, NIDM were facilitators. Experts, researchers, professionals, officials, and academicians from related Government organizations/department/Ministries, institutions, NGOs, and field professionals also attended the conference.

In a heroic group effort Thursday morning, doctors, nurses and patients rushed from medical offices and lifted a 2,480-pound car off an elderly woman who was pinned underneath.

Dr. Nicholas Formica said removing the woman proved to be a delicate operation because one wrong move by the group could have proved fatal.

Marjorie Colello, 77, of New Britain, was listed in satisfactory condition Thursday afternoon at New Britain General Hospital.

About 10 a.m., Colello arrived with her sister-in-law, Angeline Carlone, at the Arthritis Treatment Center on East Street for a doctor's appointment scheduled for Carlone, a service Colello regularly provides because Carlone, 79, never learned to drive.

Thinking she had pushed the car's gear lever into park, Colello walked around to the passenger side to help Carlone get her walker out of the back seat, witnesses to the incident said.

But the lever was in neutral. As Colello stood beside the open passenger door, the car rolled back, knocking her down and pinning her chest under the door and her left leg under the front wheel.

"We were out there and all of a sudden the car started to roll," Carlone said after the accident, still visibly shaken as she waited at the center for a ride home.

"Marjorie said, 'Oh, my leg! My leg is under the car!' We were both screaming. She was confused, and I couldn't help her."

A billing clerk at the medical office next door to the treatment center saw the accident from her office window and started to scream. ------About a half-dozen doctors, nurses, employees and patients at the medical offices rushed to Colello's aid.

Formica coached the lifters -- three men and two women -- on how best to move the Chevy Cavalier so the door would not fracture Colello's chest and cause her to suffocate. When the weight was off, nurse Sue Davis pulled Colello to safety. The whole process took about four minutes.

"The car door was against her chest, and I told them they had to hold the car door up," Formica said. "Luckily, it didn't break her chest. But I think her leg is going to hurt for a while."

If you want to throw a good party, you have to start planning early.

Just ask the volunteers working on the post-graduation party for seniors at Lyman Memorial High School.

Although the party will not take place until mid-June, organizers have a big challenge in front of them because of the size of this year's graduating class.

Last year, 109 students graduated, while this year the senior class has about 145 students, said Cindy Hodge, co-chairwoman of the committee planning the party. So instead of the budget of about $10,000 for previous events, the committee wants to raise up to $15,000.

The party is designed to give students a safe, alcohol- and drug-free environment in which to celebrate their graduation. Committee member Karen Przekopski said the party provides an alternative to one possible activity.

"It keeps them off the street graduation night so they don't go out and get drunk," she said.

But Hodge said the party does more than that in a close-knit community such as Lebanon.

"It's the last time they are all together in one place," she said. "It's closure to high school. Most of these kids have gone to school together for 12 years."

Students don't know the location of the party until they get on the bus at the school at about 10 p.m. on graduation night. Hodge said an out-of-town community or recreation center with a pool and other activities available is often chosen for the event.

Although activities vary from year to year, a DJ provides music and food is available all night. In the past, each student has been given a bag containing gifts, such as T- shirts, disposable cameras and gift certificates.

Students must sign a contract that they will not leave until the party ends at about 5 a.m., when they are taken back to the high school.

Resident Trooper Mark E. Maynard said the party has had a positive influence on the town.

"Knock on wood, we haven't had a serious incident on graduation night as long as I can remember," he said.

Almost all seniors attend the party, which Co-chairwoman Jean Bender said is because parents in town encourage their children to participate in community events.

Although the committee has raised enough money to hire the venue -- about $2,000 -- a series of fund-raisers will be held to raise the rest. A spaghetti supper will be held from on Feb. 6 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the fire safety complex. Tickets cost $6 for adults, $3 for children.

The Lions Club will sponsor a pancake breakfast in late March and an auction will be held May 7.

On April 14, state Public Safety Commissioner Henry C. Lee will give a lecture in town.

Donations may be sent to Lyman Memorial High School, Post-Graduation Committee, 917 Exeter Road, Lebanon, CT 06249.

For more information, contact Hodge at (860) 642-7727 or Bender at (860) 642-6522.

Donald Trump deserves GOP nomination

Evansville Courier & Press
View Comments

Glover E. Dockery

Chandler, Indiana

I agree with what Donald Trump is saying about this election. If the majority of the people vote for him, he should be the candidate. Stop all this talk about a contested convention where they disallow what the people want and use their super delegates to get the person the party wants.

Remember the saying, 'a government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish?' The way it's going, you can disregard that statement by Abraham Lincoln.

It is time to put an end to a system that allows a handful of super delegates to go against the millions of people who are voting for Trump. If the super delegates supersede what the people want, what's the point in voting? If things turn out that way, that's it for me. I will not vote in November.

COVID-19 cases have surged in Florida (FL) to historic levels but it is a pattern that we have seen before in the USA 3 months ago and in many other countries such as China and Italy several weeks before that.  Somehow many governments failed to recognize the exponential growth pattern of an outbreak and stop it in time before it did substantial damage.  This time around for Florida to repeat the same devastating mistakes would be truly sinful.  Florida experienced an outbreak in March and luckily escaped it relatively unscathed due to the timely action of certain mayors and county officials to lockdown their local businesses before the outbreaks got serious.  They could have avoided general lockdowns if they had the testing, contact tracing, and selective isolation capacity in place.   However, since no one in the USA prepared in January and February, the only alternative was to use a blunt instrument like a general lockdown to suppress the outbreak.  Second time around, there is really no excuse not to be prepared.  Three-months further along, we should have built up the testing, contact tracing, and isolation capacity to deal with any resurgence but it doesn’t look like we are any better prepared this time around.

The figure above shows the daily confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in Florida (brown squares) over the last 11 weeks.  Florida was averaging 800 cases per day even as it expanded testing from 10,000 to 30,000 per day from mid-April to early June.  Florida was able to drive its positivity rate (percent of tests returning positive) down from 12% to near 2.7% allowing it to reopen safely in early May.  A month later FL decided to go to phase 2on 6/5 even though signs of trouble were already brewing as test capacity stalled and the positivity rate rose above 4% near the end of May.  This mistake became more evident as the month wore on and the number of daily confirmed cases surged to a series of record highs.  The 7-day moving average of cases (solid brown curve) is now near 8,000 – ten times higher than the base rate just a month ago corresponding to a doubling time of 9 days.  Where is it likely to go?

The figure above also plots the New York (NY – blue diamonds) experience shifted by 91 days or 3 months earlier.  The middle of the curve with the exponential growth matches eerily well.  Will we follow the NY curve and top out in a week?  That would be the optimistic scenario but not the likely scenario.  By 6/21 Florida should have locked down the whole state as NY did on 3/23 (along with its neighbors New Jersey and Connecticut).  At a minimum, FL should have rolled its reopening back phase 1.  The fact that the governor has reacted minimally so far (prohibited the sale of alcohol at bars) does not bode well for Florida.  While certain counties such as Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach have resisted moving to phase 2 and required mask-wearing now, this may not be enough to stop the outbreak in the rest of the state.  In fact, Florida is in a far worse situation than NY because NY really only had one serious outbreak in metro-NYC whereas, in Florida, the infection is everywhere: metro-Miami, metro-Tampa, metro-Orlando, metro-Jacksonville and nearly every city and county in the state.  What is required now is a statewide mandate for masking and social distancing.  It requires that the state rollback reopening to Phase 1 until adequate testing, contact tracing, and selective isolation can be put into place.  Additionally, FL needs to postpone the reopening of DisneyWorld scheduled for 7/11, and the reopening of sports (MLSMLBNBA) that have been planned and that is sure to exacerbate the outbreak.  Otherwise, the exponential growth phase of the Florida outbreak could continue to surge well past the worst seen in NY.
