The COMET STRETCH DRESS, I have told you about my so called unending fetish about the Black dress or say anything in black. How can I ever be complete without the solo monochrome color and to add the drama to it, the lace on the back just gave me that pinch of undeniable attention. As I approach to source for my outfit I couldn't agree more with my photographer when he said "its quite illusive dress" I mean from the front it gives you that sweet girl look and back shows the cut and absolute delight of a strong independent woman. | 2019-04-19T00:16:05Z | http://dashofclassicc.blogspot.com/2013/11/laces-and-drama-fcuk.html |
Apparently, as addictive as cocaine... and nail polish.
Hi everybody! It’s me! I’m back from the land of the invalid! What had the power to bring me back, you ask? Uh, cookies. Specifically, the newly-launched-in-Canada OREO Thins.
While I was convalescing on da couch, a lovely package arrived from a friend (I hope you all have friends like these). Inside, a note saying “Karen, enjoy new OREO Thins. Maybe with some Black Magic?” Ha! Black Magic in this case is 100% not a box of chocolates. Instead, it’s my all-time favourite OCW!! black nail polish – Revlon Top Speed Black Magic. I love it.
You know what else I love? These OREO Thins.
When I slapped a pic on my FB, there was a flurry of activity from people wanting to know what this new OREO is like. I chose to describe it as an OREO snap. Thinner, crispier and perfectly balanced. It’s like a less-sweet version of a regular OREO except (believe it or not), the proportions of it are exactly the same as a regular OREO. Here, I found this OREO Comparison on the interwebz – it has better pictures than I could take, and includes nutritional numbers for you too.
My sweet, sweet delivery didn't even make it out of the box before I climbed in.
Oddly, I’m seeing people complain that the new Thins are hard to take apart. I disagree. The technique is different here – you need to slide instead of twist. I slid-'n-split a bunch of ‘em and had zero breakage. My other half (Nick), had trouble adapting to the new Take-Apart Technique, but after seeing it done properly (by yours truly), he’s now a pro.
While there are lots of different OREOs out there, from Pumpkin to Mini, out of all the ones I've tried (that would be many), the new Thins are my favourite. I like the crispiness of 'em. To me, it’s an elegant, elevated OREO.
There is however, one significant problem with OREO Thins. When you open the bag, it only has two long rows of cookies. A bag of Original OREOs has 3 shorter, sideways rows. I don’t know about you, but to me a row is a single serving. Is that the kind of problem I can overcome? Dunno, I’m not so great with portion control – you can tell because while I tried really hard to save some of my new OREO Thins to photograph for you, they’re all gone. Oops.
So now that you’ve been introduced to this new OREO, will you head out to the store and chuck a pack (or three) in your shopping cart? Or maybe you’re in the US and have already tried 'em? If the two of you have already met, I’d love your thoughts! Me? I gotta go to Shoppers (my closest source of OREOS) and get me a pack of the Golden Thins. Then I’ll need to examine them closely to see if they’re really as addictive as The Washington Post says they are. | 2019-04-25T00:29:56Z | https://imabeautygeek.com/2016/03/12/new-oreo-thins-review/ |
Man, this clash of model styles really hurts the game.
Of course Ayane is going to be a Ninja Gaiden rep rather than DOA because NG is basically her second home at this point.
Besides, DOA already has Kasumi, Honoka and Marie Rose, it would be too lopsided to include Ayane and add her to DOA rather than NG.
And I have no problem with the clashing of styles, makes them being from differing worlds even more apparent.
Yes.... but you have females from Ninja Gaiden that could be used instead... but I guess it comes down to popularity.
To each his own on clashing styles I guess.. to me it kinda pulls you out of the immersion in the game. Coz it's weird when you are facing realistic looking opponents and then have hyper-stylized anime character thrown into the mix.. but I guess that's just me.. | 2019-04-21T15:10:15Z | http://mugenguild.com/forum/PHPSESSID.gqlf19ou87u3cau71p22ui9892/topics/musou-stars-176513.60.html |
Destruction Warlocks are a poor man's Fire Mage right now. It's not balanced correctly, even with high amounts of crit. You're better off playing Affliction where the rotation is much simpler.
I am not sure PvE wise, but PvP wise destro seems viable again. Great burst dmg, albeit quite a bit of ramp up time with Incinerate spam.
Affliction is still better imo, but destro is definitely in a better place.
Love the site, you did an excellent job covering all three warlock specs. Cheers.
I'm not sure why destro locks are looked down upon on your website. You posted somewhere else that destruction locks were the weakest of the three specs. Well I'm here to tell you that you're wrong. I was just in a 25 man raid with 4 other locks and I was top dps of the five of us. #4 overall, behind a spriest and two hunters, interestingly enough. How about a little destro love for a change?
if you check that out, it shows that as of 6 days ago (when it was last updated), Destro locks are 10% behind affliction, with Demo dropping inbetween.
Bear in mind though, that the simcraft results are with T14HC gear on a Patchwerk style boss.
Please try not to discredit the work of many theorycrafters and people who actually put time and effort into evaluation of classes and specializations just because you beat other Warlocks in your raid. I can almost guarantee you that if you were to play Affliction with the same level of skill you play Destruction, your numbers would go up. Discrediting a lot of hard work done by people who use theory, math, and proof for classes and specializations shouldn't be done just because you have sub-par Warlocks in your 25 man raid team.
I'm a tiny bit skeptical about how the raw numbers turned out for affliction vs destruction as well. I suppose I might not have spent enough time mastering the rotation, though it seemed simple, but I have noticed affliction actually doing less dps than either destruction or demonology in the settings I've used the 3 specs in, and have also noticed aff locks still bottoming out the dps charts. I've only mostly tested them out in ds however, where aff was almost always noticeably lower, if not significantly lower, so my observations are very simple and highly limited.
Destruction is very effective for spine, I don't prefer destruction for any other fights, but affliction still seems highly ineffective for that fight in particular.
It seems like destruction might perform poorly for arena, however it's VERY effective for pvp in larger battles, especially AV, where you can stand back behind melee and safely build up embers, then unload on the healers and wipe them out with burst much faster than they could possibly heal through even with cd's.
Affliction doesn't bottom out charts nor is it lacking on Spine due to mechanical changes in DoT application. I have come out on top of my DPS charts numerous times, both on single target fights and multi-target fights. This is against better geared Shadow Priests, Hunters, Rogues with legendary daggers, and Fury Warriors with 2 Heroic Gurts. I've tested out all 3 specs and find all 3 easy to play, but Affliction comes out on top in my person tests as well as Simulationcraft work.
Warlocks are no longer terrible for Heroic Spine at all. With 3 globals, I can apply Curse of Elements, all 3 DoTs, and Haunt before beginning to channel Malefic Grasp. By doing this, my raid team is able to slay all 3 plates in 1 lift each where the only class that beats me out of a Rogue, Hunter, Shadow Priest, and Fury Warrior is the Shadow Priest. In good hands, Affliction will come out on top no matter what the fight.
the top 2 in that (warriors) can effectively be ignored as one was the OT on Bloods, and the other warrior was DPSing the bloods. Both were well behind me until the 3rd tendon when their multi-dotting with deep wounds/thunderclap went through the roof Also, due to bad timing I got gripped twice on tendon burst phases.
Warlocks are no longer terrible for Heroic Spine at all. With 3 globals, I can apply Curse of Elements, all 3 DoTs, and Haunt before beginning to channel Malefic Grasp.
Why waste a global on curse of elements? | 2019-04-22T00:18:57Z | https://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/597-destruction-warlocks/ |

Starting and finishing at The Springs picnic area on Mt Wellington the Organ Pipes Circuit is a brilliant 8km day hike taking in multiple sites of interest along the eastern face of the mountain, including the impressive dolerite pillars making up the Organ Pipes. The walk follows well formed tracks throughout and is generally flat or on slight gradients.
Please note the route directions here are listed clockwise though the circuit can be comfortable completed in either direction.
View Google Map Directions From Hobart head west via Davey Street (A6). Keep in the right lane and continue past the turn off to the southern outlet. After 6km turn right onto Pinnacle Road and continue to The Springs. The Organ Pipes Circuit begins from the upper section of The Springs.
Leaving from the upper section of The Springs we tackle the only significant climb of the walk first. The trail here is well constructed and walking is easy through the lovely mountain bushland. After 2km of gradual climbing we make it to the ZigZag Track/Organ Pipes junction. Continuing right, the trail evens out and for the next 3km and is mostly flat.
This section of the track is the most picturesque with occasional breaks in the tree line providing magnificent views of Hobart and the Derwent River. As we continue further the tremendous pillars that make up the Organ Pipes come into view. Throughout this section there are a number of side trails only recommended for experienced hikers leading up to Pipes themselves; a worthy side trip.
Continuing past the Organ Pipes the trail meets the Chalet on Pinnacle Drive after passing 2 rock spree sections. The trail then crosses the road and heads downhill to Junction Cabin. The climb down from the Chalet is the steepest descent of the days walking and requires some care. For the next 1km the trail snakes down the mountainside before reaching the Old Hobartian Track junction. It is important not to miss this turn off to the right; otherwise you will be destined for Lenah Valley.
From here the trail gradient lessens and walking is easy going aside from a series of small rock screes. A large outcrop which makes up Crocodile Rock is seen to the right just before we reach Junction Cabin. We then head home via the Lenah Valley Track to The Springs. The trail is well formed and gently graded. Shortly after joining this track a short diversion downhill leads to Lone Cabin, a small but comfortable hut nestled within lovely rainforest surroundings. As we continue along the Lenah Valley track another cabin is passed before reaching Sphinx Rock. From here vast panoramic views of Hobart are again on offer. The car park is reached 15 minutes later. | 2019-04-20T16:41:56Z | http://tastrails.com/the-organ-pipes/ |

Arriving time in Tawang approx would be 6:00 – 7:00 PM.
The name TAWANG derives from some bearings on surroundings. But people's interpretation is that the name TAWANG was given by Mera Lama in the 17th century. One can reach Tawang from other parts of the country via Guwahati and Tezpur in Assam. From Guwahati(Assam) or Tezpur(Assam), one has to go to Bhalukpong in West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh and from there via Bomdila and Sela Pass one can go to Tawang by road. | 2019-04-21T02:49:38Z | http://www.neroutes.in/tour-packages/shillong-nameri-dirang-tour1.htm |

I wanted to show you how I displayed my adorable Pedestal Shrines from last week. They look fantastic added to my fireplace mantel! I can't wait to make more! You can find the tutorial here.
A gorgeous Christmas Town by Chrissy Colon, full of candy colored goodness and holiday cheer! We especially love how Chrissy attached her glittery deer, and check out her Santa. So many amazing details Chrissy!
A stunning array of faeries and angels by Mary Jane Chadbourne! Each one definitely has a unique personality. Lovely detail and gorgeous execution Mary Jane! We especially love those beaded ornament hangers.
A gorgeous Santa Bell Ringer by Design Team Member Lynn Stevens! He is absolutely full of vintage beauty. We adore the nostalgic colors, and of course all of the glitter. He's perfect Lynn!
Happy Weekend everyone! I'm really excited about this week's goodies! When I saw all of the adorable new sugary sweet miniatures in the shop, I had to find a way to display them! So our brand new Pedestal Shrine Stands were born! They come in three fantastic styles, and as for arting them up, well, the sky is the limit! While they can be used for any theme, they are PERFECT for Christmas. The kits (either finished or unfinished) would make excellent gifts!
You can check them all out HERE.
In addition to the new goodies, we have a HUGE general Christmas Section and a fabulous Coffee Break Design Christmas Section for tons of unique goodies!
All Minis are ON SALE too!
I couldn't wait to jump right in and play with the new goodies! These sweet little scenes were so much fun and easy to create. I made all three in about an hour. And there are a million different combinations you can create. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. They are too much fun!
I began by gluing my stands to my bases. Of course doing this first was much easier! You can use a ruler to make sure they are centered. I eyeballed mine, but then went back to double check.
Next I painted all three with gold spray paint.
I added rhinestone trim to the Classic Pedestal. Dresden would work great too. The Classic Pedestals were designed especially for this!
Glitter Snow is one of my favorite mediums to work with. It goes on easy, like cake frosting, dries fast (to the touch in about an hour), and also works as a glue. I used a popsicle stick to spread the snow. Like I said, just like frosting a cake!
The Glitter Snow already has some glitter in it, but I like lots, so I immediately sprinkled it with Mica Flakes and more glitter. It will stick. And then I just pushed my pieces into the Snow. The Glitter Snow acts as a glue, and once dry, your pieces will be stuck! It doesn't get much easier than that!
I loved the way things turned out. The little candy canes under the cake plate are my favorite part. And I loved how the pack of bottle brush trees had the three different sizes that I needed!
Of course everything is even more glittery and sugary in person!
Inspiration By Lisa Roulier Wiktorek!
We think this necklace by Lisa Roulier Wiktorek is absolutely groovy! We're loving the color and image that she used. So cool Lisa!
Sweet glittery snowflake ornaments by Design Team Member Lynn Stevens. We adore the pretty images she used and of course the stunning rhinestone trim. So beautiful Lynn!
We love how artist Kim Heil combined our Wing Cut-Outs and Santos Head Paper Cuts to create these stunning ornaments! And the combination of paper and glitter on the larger pieces is so perfect. Lovely creations Kim!
Happy Weekend everyone! If you love TINY and miniatures and they make you go "Awwwe" then you will LOVE the new goodies this week!

The “Hunger Games” nightmare scenario presently being implemented and it is called America 2050.
The first notable effect of NAFTA is that it it is credited with greatly accelerating illegal immigration and almost immediately bankrupted over three million farmers in northern Mexico and this group became the vanguard of millions of Mexicans illegally entering the US in search for subsistence work of any type.
The push-back against Agenda 21 tyranny.
Through the collectivization of the food production, the Chinese government is working towards gaining complete control over all food in order to control the people. On an ever increasing basis, NAFTA is providing the U.S. government with the exact same ability. Therefore, the third draconian impact of NAFTA is that it has led to even more nefarious free trade agreements and executive orders which led to the loss of control for local communities over their own food supply.
Upon assuming power, the Stalinist Communist regime rapidly nationalized the food industry and forced all of the region’s farms into collectives. Thus, Stalin’s version of the Holocaust came to fruition in what history has dubbed, the “Holodomor,” in which millions perished in only a two year period when the Soviet government began to exterminate the Ukrainian population by taking control of food and food production. The large corporate collectivization of food is precisely the same thing that is presently happening in the United States under Obama.
Kissinger’s quote is important because he was tasked with implementing the insane genocidal policies contained in NSSM 200.

Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin (submental fullness) by physically destroying fat cells.
® or BOTOX®–Botulinum Toxin injections are the most commonly performed procedures used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. The appearance of wrinkles begin to improve within 24 hours; full results developing gradually over the next 5 days. Botulinum injections typically last 3 to 6 months.
As we age our skin begins to lose its fullness; this causes sagging, wrinkling, and hollowing of the skin. Fillers can be used to treat the cheeks, eyes, mouth, brow, chin, and nose; results are often visible immediately, and continue to improve over several months. Options include: Vollure®, Radiesse®, Juvéderm®, Voluma, Volbella, and Belotero®; all approved by the FDA.
Dermal Optical Thermolysis Therapy is an advanced, FDA-approved, laser procedure performed to rejuvenate the skin and reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles, brown spots, sun damage, scarring and more. During DOT Therapy, the skin is tightened and collagen production is stimulated, allowing for a fuller, more youthful appearance; some patients have reported feeling 7-10 years younger post procedure.
Designed to remove sun-damaged skin which often causes a wrinkled, aged appearance. Pre-cancerous growths (actinic keratosis), blotchy brown pigmentation and fine wrinkles all develop as the result of chronic sun-exposure; these can all be treated with chemical peels. The word “peel” is used because most people will experience 4-7 days of peeling post treatment; some down-time may occur.
Designed to treat the following conditions: Red and brown discoloration, vascular and pigmented lesions, blood vessels, red birth marks, angiomas, scars, melasma, red or purple dots on lips, wrinkles, and acne. During laser treatment the damaged lesions on the skin are destroyed with precisely delivered heat energy; healthy cells are left intact.
Tired of shaving? Epicare™ LP is the most effective and safest laser treatment currently available; treating both fine and coarse hairs for optimal long-lasting results. The results of this treatment are noticeable within one or two sessions; 6-9 sessions are required to achieve lasting results.
Laser tattoo removal significantly lightens or completely removes tattoos without harming surrounding healthy cells. When particles of tattoo ink absorb the laser light, they are broken into tiny fragments, which are absorbed through the body’s natural cleansing mechanism.

BANGKOK, May 18, 2010 (AFP) - Thailand's revered king is facing calls from anti-government protesters to intervene to end the nation's crisis, but the 82-year-old monarch has remained largely silent since the unrest began.
"His Majesty is our only hope," a senior leader of the "Red Shirts" movement, Jatuporn Prompan, said at the weekend in pleas that were repeated as troops battled protesters in five days of clashes that have left 38 dead.
It was the second time that the Reds have publicly appealed for King Bhumibol Adulyadej to step in to solve the two-month standoff, as he has done in the past during six turbulent decades on the throne.
During a 1992 uprising the king summoned military and protest leaders who, according to protocol, crawled towards him on their knees in dramatic televised scenes which effectively brought the violence to an end.
The king, seen by some Thais as a demigod, continues to command immense affection and respect among his subjects.
But during this bout of unrest, which has its origins in the 2006 coup that ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra, the monarch has been confined to a hospital where he was admitted last September for treatment of a respiratory condition.
The palace makes no statement on his health, and the sensitivity of the issue means it is not discussed in the Thai media. But in his few public appearances, it is clear the king is physically very weak.
He appeared on television in February next to Bangkok's Chao Praya river -- sitting in a wheelchair and holding his dog on a leash, and left hospital briefly on May 5 for the 60th anniversary of his coronation.
The only monarch that the vast majority of Thais have ever known delivered a brief speech in late April. In a quiet voice, he urged newly appointed judges to fulfil their duty. But the deaths and the fighting were not mentioned.
"The king says nothing about the realities of Thailand today," says Arnaud Leveau from the Institute of Research on Contemporary Southeast Asia.
"These last comments did not refer to the situation and gave no indication of what he knows, or what he thinks about it," he said.
The Red Shirts, mostly urban and rural poor who were won over by Thaksin's populist policies, condemn the current administration which came to power with the army's backing in 2008.
They say the government is the puppet of the nation's elites in the palace, bureaucracy and military circles, and are clamouring for their share of Thailand's economic and political pie.
Many Thais, including the Reds, are now hoping for the type of decisive royal intervention of two decades ago which is still well remembered in the kingdom.
"I want the king to stop this now," said a 53-year-old woman, cooking food for demonstrators in the Red Shirts' camp, who gave her name as Sumboun.
"I want to stop and go back home. But why won't the army stop?"
The crisis, which flared in mid-March and has left 67 people dead and about 1,700 wounded including 25 slain in a failed army crackdown on April 10, is the country's worst civil unrest since 1992.
The Reds' calls for the king to intervene seem to be aimed at reaching a compromise solution, said Paul Chambers, a Thailand expert at the University of Heidelberg in Germany.
"As it stands now, if the government and the military are able to continue their crackdown on the Red Shirts, then they would have organised all this for nothing."
"If they find somebody higher, more powerful than the government to compel the government to stop what they're doing now, it would be a sort of victory," he said, adding that it could also hand them a sought-after amnesty.
But observers are doubtful that wish will be fulfilled.
During major royal ceremonies, the king has mostly been represented by his wife, Queen Sirikit, his heir Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, or his admired daughter, Princess Sirindhorn.
"In April, I thought there might be a message, a speech to the people. But what we see in the pictures is the Queen, Prince or Princess. The King is above all, far from everything," said Chambers. | 2019-04-20T16:56:19Z | http://sggpnews.org.vn/international/thailands-ageing-king-silent-despite-reds-pleas-819.html |
While enrolled at THINK Global School, students are encouraged to be creative during the course of their studies and travels. When the students document these thoughts, we are often delighted with the results. In her reflection “Shadows engulfing the mundane,” 10th grader Danielle R. uses examples from her travels to help explain why a great back story can make a seemingly mundane activity seem exhilarating.
New experiences sell. It is easy to get explorers excited about doing something they have never done before. Seldom does it matter what the experience consists of, for as long as it is novel, it’s practically guaranteed to be exciting, unique, and, in most cases, adrenaline-inducing. It takes a lot more for us to generate the same level of excitement for something we have already done countless times.
Kayaking is one of those things for me.
Which is not to say that I don’t still enjoy it, but when I glance at our recent weXplore itinerary, it just has a hard time competing with things like caving and Hobbiton. It’s a charmed life I live and I am well aware of how unappreciative my gut reactions are at times. But it just goes to show how wrong first impressions can be because as I emerged from a bus packed full of smelly teenagers carrying bags of unwashed clothes, I found myself telling everyone who hadn’t been on my trip about the kayaking. Even more shockingly, I realized that I was referring to the experience my gut had told me was going to be “ordinary” as the highlight of my trip!
So what made it so special? After all, I have already mentioned that it wasn’t exactly the most hair-raising or adventurous activity that we did during our week long trip around New Zealand. In all honesty, I don’t know exactly what did it. But if I had to take a guess, I would say it was the telling of stories that engulfed every rock, cave, and wave in the Bay of Islands.
Things are always more special when you know their back stories. I noticed this same sort of phenomenon in Tanzania when we ate at an organic restaurant towards the end of the trip. The chef gathered us around before we ate and went into detail about every flavor, sauce, and spice that had been considered in the making of our meal. He told us the origins of each food and their part in the diet of the native tribes to the region. Every meal up until that point had been equally if not more delicious, but it was by letting us in on the secret that made that meal a highlight.
As we were being told the stories that shadowed every feature of the region we felt included. We didn’t need to wonder about the tales that blanketed the area because they were described to us in such detail that I could easily retell them to someone who wasn’t present. All vagabonds love new experiences, but sometimes it’s better to be let in on the secrets hiding behind some of the more mundane wonders. Mundane for us, that is. | 2019-04-25T02:27:48Z | https://thinkglobalschool.org/shadows-engulfing-the-mundane/ |
checks using Data Insight - Rules.
We want to configure a Rule in Information Steward, that would Lookup into tables from ECC for Data Comparison.
However while doing LOOKUP we found that this operation returns only one record.
Requirement is to Lookup Multiple Records in Information Steward and Store the Values into the Table/Range/Array for the purpose of comparison.
Please check the attached screenshot that mentions the requirement of one of the Rules that we want to create.
For, this we would need to save the Company Codes of Vendor into a Table / Array / Range kind of Structure. And then compare the company Codes of Alternate Payee with those saved in the Range.
1.Is there Table/ Range/ Array type of structures available in Information Steward that can store multiple values?
2.In Information Steward we could not find any Iteration or Loop related Operator, that can process one record multiple times.
3.The LOOKUP Operator only returns a single record. It does not return all the records that match the Input.
Thanks for the solution. We can solve this particular rule with joins. But we also have other rules that would need multiple lookups.
Rule : For a Vendor If vendor country = TR ,only exist for company codes TUR & BKT then language should be = TR , and if vendor exist for any other company code as well, language should be EN.
For this I suppose we would need the provision to read multiple records from table and to be able to save them.
While doing a LOOKUP, if there is a possibility to provide a Condition (Not Equal, Match Pattern, etc) for the lookup. | 2019-04-24T09:57:53Z | https://answers.sap.com/questions/86612/how-to-lookup-and-save-multiple-recordsvalues-in-i.html |
Traveling in comfort, you visiting not only highlights of any trip to Nepal like Pokhara and Chitwan but to places less well known where you can get a full flavour of the variety that Nepal has to offer. You explore the rich cultural heritage of Kathmandu and the Valley where you see a fascinating mix of Hinduism and Buddhism. Staying a night in the comfortable guesthouse of a monastery, you join the monks in their morning devotions. You visit Tansen, a lovely old town where few tourists go. No trip is complete without a visit to Pokhara where you can relax and admire the Annapurnas as they appear to shimmer over the beautiful Phewa Lake. Finally, you spend a couple of nights in Chitwan in a luxury jungle lodge. Here you go on a jungle safari and if you are lucky, you might even see a tiger.
On this tour, you stay in comfortable accommodation throughout.
Kathmandu Durbar Square is listed as one of the Kathmandu Valley’s eight UNESCO World Heritage sites. Built between the 12th and 18th centuries, the ancient temples, palaces and courtyards and streets is a social, religious and urban focal point of the city. Visiting the Kumari’s house, home to the living goddess, if you are very lucky you might even see her peek out of her window at you. You also see the surrounding temples and the Itumbahal courtyard. This old Newari community that is set in its large courtyard is famous for its traders in herbal spices and medicines. From Durbar Square you then walk to through Asaan to the bustling Indrachowk, one of Kathmandu’s most colourful local markets. Continuing to Asaan Chowk you visit the Annapurna temple, dedicated to the goddess of Grains.
You then are taken to Swayambunath, otherwise nicknamed the ‘Monkey Temple’. This is one of the oldest and most revered shrines in the country. Perched on the top of a small hill, it is a not only a major landmark of the valley but a symbol of Nepal. The stupa has been an important Buddhist pilgrimage site since the 5th century. Buddha Jayanti (Buddha’s Birthday), Gunla (a month-long festival) and Lhosar (Tibetan New Year) are all celebrated with gusto here. You can reach the shrine by climbing 365 steps up the hill, or by a less steep but not so scenic route that winds around the back of the temple complex. You see many chaityas and temples but look out for the mysterious Shantipur Temple. This is where the 8th century Tantric Shantikar Acharya lived and it is said that his meditation kept him alive for many centuries.
In the afternoon you are driven to Bhaktapur, one of the most fascinating and important World Heritage Sites in Nepal. Bhaktapur is made up of three large squares filled with historic shrines and temples, Newar architecture and fine art. Famous for its clay pots and exquisite wood carvings, Bhaktapur is also legendary for its colourful festivals and its delicious and unique cuisine. Bhaktapur retains its medieval feel and the local people are still engaged in farming and traditional crafts like pottery, metalwork, art and woodwork which have supported the city since it was established in the 12th century. This is a ‘must see’ place to explore! You will be shown the magnificent Golden Gate in Durbar Square (square of the palaces), the Palace of 55 Windows, the Nyata Pola Temple, Newar houses and pottery square. Although the town was damaged in the 2015 earthquake, there has been a lot of work to repair the old buildings.
Neydo Monastery in Pharping, about 22 kilometres from Kathmandu, is a world apart in its little corner of the southern part of the Kathmandu Valley. Here you spend the night at Neydo Tashi Choeling Monastery Guest House. A Tibetan monastery, there are up to 140 monks living in the monastery from Nepal and India. The present Karma Charmé is the seventh reincarnate lama of in the unique Neydo Kagyu tradition, which also follows the Nyingma lineage Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery has Nepal’s biggest statue of the Amitabha Buddha flanked by statues of Avalokitesvara (Buddha of Compassion) and Vajrapani (protector and holder of the Buddha’s sacred teachings).
You are taken to Bharatpur airport and fly the 20-minute flight to Kathmandu. You then have the rest of the day free in Kathmandu.
You have the day free. You have the rest of the day free. You might like to try out one of the many cooking classes or workshops on offer, go for some more sightseeing or do some last minute shopping. | 2019-04-18T10:20:26Z | https://royalmt.com.np/package/best-of-nepal-in-comfort/ |

Fragrant Harbor, known to the world as Hong Kong, is also promoted as Asia's World City or the place where east meets west. It is all of these things. Sitting on the south coast of China, surrounded by the South China Sea and the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong's low taxes and free trade have made it a wealthy and vibrant city. Its famous skyline, with more than twelve hundred skyscrapers, is literally at the top of the world, with more of them being higher than in any other city.
A British colony in the mid-Nineteenth Century, Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997 but operates under a political system that is separate from China's. Hong Kong is an important international financial center with a capitalist economy. Most of its citizens are Chinese but, while leaning towards the culture of the East, they are heavily influenced by the West also. They take pride in being Hong Kongers rather than Chinese, with a culture that is an East-West fusion. There are two official languages in Hong Kong, Chinese and English. There is a law in Hong Kong protecting freedom of religion, with a huge variety of religions being practiced that include Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Judaism. However, believe it or not, a majority of Hong Kongers are atheists.
Hong Kong public holidays can be traditional such as the Chinese New Year or worldwide such as Christmas Day or New Year's Day. Some are quite colorful like the Dragon Boat Festival, celebrated in June. This ancient festival commemorates the death of a poet who is said to have drowned himself in the river to protest government corruption. Villagers got on their boats with rice wrapped in silk to offer the fish to save his body from being eaten by them. Today these rice packages are wrapped in leaves and known as zongzi, and the boats have become the ornately decorated dragon boats that take part in the races each year.
The culture of Hong Kong has given rise to a new music genre called Canto pop, a hugely popular mixture of both East and West that blends both Cantonese rhythms with jazz, blues, and rock and roll.
Hong Kong food has been described as a world's fair of food, and indeed it is. The most well-known and popular is dim sum, small pieces of steamed dumplings with different fillings. These are usually served on a rolling cart from which diners can choose any number and variety.
The Gao is the normal dim sum that is wrapped in a thin skin made of rice flour or wheat starch and different ones are filled with either shrimp, mushrooms, cabbage, pork, tofu or chopped vegetables.
Da Been Lo or Hot Pot is a type of Asian stew that is cooked and served from a metal pot in the middle of the table while the various ingredients are put into it. They can be sliced meat, vegetables, wontons, or seafood. It is accompanied by a dipping sauce.
Seafood is naturally quite popular in a city on the water. There is a little fishing village called Lei Yue Min where a bit of the old city sits among the modern one. Here one can find al fresco dining where you can pick your fish from a market stall tank and take it to one of the dining places. They will prepare it for you for a reasonable price.
Hong Kong wonton noodles are famous worldwide and these wontons are authentic, being handmade and using duck eggs. The noodles are wrapped around marinated pork or fish and served in a broth that has been cooked for up to six hours.
Western restaurants in Hong Kong are easy to find because they are everywhere in the city. There are also worldwide franchises such as Outback Steak House and Hard Rock. Besides American and British cuisine, there are also German beer halls, Italian pizza gardens, Spanish paella and tapas, French brasseries and Egyptian cafes.
There is no end to the items that can be purchased in Hong Kong, from traditional Chinese clothing in street bazaars to computer electronics, high modern fashion or valuable jewelry. There are specialty markets selling birds, fish, flowers or antiques, all of which can be found at Stanley Market or Peddler Street on Hong Kong Island.
Hong Kong is one of the world's best tourist destinations and has a great many attractions to draw people of all ages. The Peak is probably the most popular. A tram takes visitors to the top of this thirteen hundred foot high vista with a beautiful panorama.
Local Disneyland is where the characters come alive for children in its six lands of fantasy.
People, who are interested in the culture of the place and its Buddhist background, should visit the beautiful Po Lin Monastery. It sits in green, lush hills with a gigantic bronze Buddha, the world's tallest, overlooking the area.
Modeled on Hollywood's walk of fame, the Avenue of Stars is along the waterfront of Victoria Harbor and honors those in the film industry in Hong Kong. A statue of Bruce Lee, the famous martial arts actor, stands along it, as well as the landmark 145-foot-high Clock Tower.
With the most magnificent skyline in the world, Hong Kong is more than a world class city. It is a place where east meets west.

In an opinion piece in The Australian, Alan Dupont, Non-resident Senior Fellow at the Lowy Institute, writes that Japan and China must beware their hawks in the maritime dispute over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands.
It is clear that the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands in the East China Sea have become the most dangerous, high-stakes maritime dispute in East Asia as a lightning rod for long-standing historical animosities and rising Sino-Japanese tensions over their respective places in the region's new order.
It is not simply a territorial dispute amenable to resolution by legal adjudication or reasonable political accommodation. This much is clear from the recent Falklands Islands analogy by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who has put Beijing on notice that he is determined to defend the Senkakus against perceived Chinese encroachments, whatever the cost.
Many observers are sceptical that Abe will match his words with deeds, given the disappointments of his first term, his reputation for pragmatism and deeply entrenched pacifist sentiment in Japan. But public attitudes towards China are hardening, providing more political space for Abe to play the role of defender of the national interest. Moreover, a consensus is emerging among Japan's previously quiescent foreign policy and strategic community, that the Senkakus are critical strategic links in the island chain running from Japan to Indonesia that geographically constrains China's maritime ambitions, and they must not be allowed to fall into Chinese hands.
Should China take control of the Senkakus, they could quickly garrison the islands as they have in the South China Sea, building heliports and radar installations which would allow them to gather unique intelligence on the activities of Japanese and American forces on nearby Okinawa and the Sakashima Islands. This would significantly weaken US and Japanese control of the western Pacific, complicate the defence of Taiwan and breach what China has long regarded as an enclosing maritime ``great wall''.
These strategic anxieties are increasingly driving Japanese and US policy on the Senkakus, and the jockeying for naval pre-eminence in the East and South China Seas explains much about China's preparedness to assert its territorial claims extending as far south as Indonesia's Natuna Islands, thousands of kilometres from the Chinese mainland.
Japan's options are few. They include appeasement and confrontation. But each, for diametrically opposed reasons, would be high-risk choices. Appeasement would only encourage China to ratchet up its pressure on Japan to make further territorial concessions. Confrontation risks serious military conflict, which is in no one's interests, least of all Japan's.
Abe knows this and is likely to pursue a more calibrated, carrot and stick approach, combining elements of co-operation and deterrence. Militarily, the key elements of his strategy are already apparent, notably a willingness to boost defence spending, redeploy significant numbers of troops to the southern region of Japan, increase intelligence collection against China, and the Peoples Liberation Army in particular, and loosen the self-imposed restraints on the export of sensitive defence technologies.
Politically, Abe has toughened his language on China, sought and received reassurances from the Obama administration that the Senkakus fall within the terms of the US-Japan Security Agreement and, unusually in post-war Japan, appealed to Japanese patriotism. He has also reminded China of the enormous investment both countries have in the relationship and that his door remains open to dialogue.
This constitutes a more coherent and workable strategy which ought to give the equally new Chinese leadership pause for reflection, provided Abe sticks to his guns. The worry is that already inflamed Chinese nationalism, never far from the surface on matters Japan, could be deliberately fanned by a PLA intent on dominating China's eponymously named contiguous seas, making it difficult for China's leader, Xi Jinping, to take a more conciliatory approach.
The unwillingness of the Chinese government to curb provocative public interventions by Chinese military representatives is not reassuring. Along with credible reports that the PLA is engaged in aggressive, widespread cyber hacking, this indicates that hawks in the Chinese military have aspirations to play a far more influential role in Chinese domestic and foreign policy than has been the case since the early years of the Chinese Peoples Republic. This is not good news for Sino-Japanese relations.
Abe has to be careful that in taking a firmer stance on the islands, he does not provide China's hawks with gratuitous opportunities for exploiting existing tensions. But he should also resist any demands by Japan's own hawks for the military to pre-emptively occupy the Senkakus and establish a garrison force there. This would almost certainly trigger a countervailing Chinese response and further complicate attempts to take the heat out of what threatens to rival North Korea's nuclear weapons program as East Asia's number one security concern. | 2019-04-21T00:57:52Z | http://lowyinstitute.org/publications/high-stakes-tension-china-seas |

Have you been questioning How To Verify An Account On Facebook? You know, that check mark that shows all your fans that you're a person with adequate status for Facebook to verify it?
In this post, we're mosting likely to take a look at ways to verify your Facebook account, and everything that the verification procedure involves.
We put a great deal of effort and time right into creating social evidence on all our accounts, consisting of Facebook, due to the fact that it's a quick signal to other customers that our company is essential and also established sufficient to make it. Those verification checkmarks do precisely the very same thing.
When customers see the check mark, they understand that they're in fact checking out your company's (or your) real page; it's not a charlatan and also not a follower web page. They recognize they could message you for client service, and it aids show that you're taking your social media sites advertising and marketing and also consumer connections seriously.
Another actually big reward: having that verification will certainly aid your account rank greater in both Facebook's and Google's online search engine.
There are 2 different colored checkmarks that appear beside profiles on Facebook. The blue checkmark suggests the verified authenticity of Pages, somebodies, and brand names. It shows that this is the official account for a brand name, company, or person. Personal accounts can get this type of verification.
The gray checkmarks, on the other hand, suggest a verified location for a specific service. While this set isn't really fairly as difficult to obtain or as visible, it can still help your service acquire some reputation on Facebook, which is always an advantage.
If your business belongs to a big chain, franchise business, or company, the main account run by business's advertising team will certainly be the one with heaven check mark, and all specific neighborhood places could earn the grey checkmark.
Just some sorts of Pages can be verified. Having a physical location helps a good deal given that the grey badge is location-based and also a lot easier to get compared to the blue badge. Citizen Organisation, Organizations, Firms, as well as Somebody are all Web page types that can obtain Facebook verification.
Getting Facebook verification for an individual profile is significantly harder, and also in order to do so, you should have a lots of good friends on your account and also fulfill various other requirements.
Obtaining your individual Facebook account (where you have friends instead of fans) validated is a great deal harder than getting your business confirmed. Just people of a near-celebrity status will certainly have the ability to obtain their personal accounts validated, even though a great deal of the qualifications to getting verified are practically the very same.
You'll need a great deal of fans, though, which isn't needed for Pages.
As soon as you submit your individual Facebook profile for verification (which, from what I can see you should do by getting in touch with Facebook straight), Facebook (if seriously considering your request) will contact us and ask for papers that can aid verify you are that you say you are, like a copy of your permit.
I'll proceed and also save you a long time with this one, and also strongly recommend creating a Page on your own and also try to get that confirmed; it will certainly be significantly much easier.
It depends on a number of elements, including what sort of Page you have, how hectic the Facebook team is, as well as your number of fans. Facebook takes longer, as an example, when accepting businesses than some stars.
This is a significant time span, yet it could take anywhere from Two Days to 45 days, especially for heaven badge of verification; the gray badge typically takes much less time.
If Facebook does not verify you, for whatever factor, it's not completion of the world; like Twitter, you might simply need to overhaul your profile and also attempt once more.
Ensure that your Page is full and fleshed-out, with as much details as possible making you seem trustworthy. Writers can add magazines to their "Impressum" area, and be getting more mentions or reviews from other Pages as well as customers do not harmed, either. You can also connect to Facebook's support for additional information about why you could have been rejected, too.
You can additionally connect to Facebook's support to find out more concerning why you might have been rejected, also.
A lot of services and marketing professionals put a lots of work into making their online and social presences as solid as they perhaps can, and getting your Web page validated by Facebook (in either way) helps enhance your social visibility. It reveals that you have actually taken the added action, and makes certain that your customers will understand they go to the best Page for the business. Obtaining your Web page validated just takes a couple of simple actions, so going to your Web page currently as well as start!
It reveals that you have actually taken the extra action, as well as ensures that your consumers will recognize they're at the best Page for business. Getting your Web page validated just takes a few easy steps, so going to your Page currently and also start! | 2019-04-20T04:19:54Z | https://www.superawesomeguy.com/2019/01/how-to-verify-account-on-facebook-2019.html |
Norvald James “Jim” Boyum, 90, of Sioux Falls passed away Wednesday morning after a brief illness. Jim was surrounded by his family at the Dougherty Hospice House.

Lunch will take place after the service, followed by inurnment at St. Michael’s Cemetery. Visitation with family present will begin at 3:00 pm on Sunday at St. Mary’s in Dell Rapids with a prayer service and rosary at 4:00.
Jim was born in Sioux Falls, SD to Norvald and Marguerite (Beach) Boyum on January 1, 1928. He grew up with a deep love and appreciation for family with his brother Bob and his two sisters Marge and Pat.
He married the love of his life, Teresa Ann Bowen, on September 26, 1946. Jim and Teresa welcomed six children into their family, Kathleen, James, Thomas, Mark, Susan and Daniel.
Jim loved his family, hunting, fishing, woodworking, golfing, his grandchildren, his great grandchildren, baseball, dominoes, cribbage and a nice big chunk of steak. He didn’t much care for vegetables. Jim loved life.
Jim worked in the heavy equipment and truck repair and sales business his entire career, spanning nearly 50 years. From his early days at Empire Equipment and then Sheehan-Bartling and Sheehan equipment, working his way to a partner in the business until his retirement in 1984. Retirement didn’t suit Jim too well so he founded I-90 White GMC in 1985 and operated that until 1993 when he retired for good. After this second retirement, Jim and Teresa were formally inducted into the Snowbird League, wintering in Mesa for the next 12 years where they enjoyed the good life surrounded by his siblings and many friends, both old and new. Winters in Arizona and summers back here in South Dakota. In 2005 Jim and Teresa returned full time to South Dakota, moving to Dell Rapids where they resided for 12 years. In 2017 they moved to Sioux Falls, residing at Laurel Oaks Apartments at Prince of Peace.
Jim and Teresa had the opportunity to travel to many wonderful places across the United States as well as to the Caribbean and throughout Europe. He also enjoyed several fishing and hunting trips to the frozen wonders of Canada.
Those grateful to have shared his incredible life are wife Teresa, daughters Kathleen of Sacramento, CA and Sue (Brian) Rainey of Las Vegas, NV; sons Jim (d) (Kathy), Tom (Janet) of Canton, SD, Mark (Lora Cady) of Sioux Falls and Dan (Pam) of Renner, SD; grandchildren Gia (d), BJ (Carla), Shane, April (Ryan), Cody (Christy), Jessie (James), Jeremiah, Tressa, Dulcie, Zach (Christine), Annie, Dylan, Bowen, Max, Olivia, Eva; eighteen great-grandchildren, one great-great grandchild and many treasured nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Marjorie and Patricia;brother, Robert; son, Jim; and granddaughter, Gia.
Jim respectfully requested no flowers. Instead, he and the family requested any memorials to be directed to the Sioux Falls Catholic School System for the benefit of tuition assistance to families of the community. | 2019-04-21T04:14:09Z | https://www.kahlerfh.com/notices/Jim-Boyum |

Government and intelligence officials around the globe have been caught off guard and in many cases embarrassed and compromised by disclosures of documents on the Web site WikiLeaks.
For security and IT professionals, these leaks serve as an important wake-up call to improve policies, procedures and safeguards. Here are five key tips to help your government agency or business avoid being the source of the next Wikileak.
I. Security Policies and Procedures.
Every government organization or enterprise must have policies in place to define who gets access to what information, and when. These policies and procedures must be actively maintained and updated and properly communicated. Then, the security policy can be administered by leveraging technology and putting the proper tools in place to secure, enforce, and mitigate risk to the organization.
In highly sensitive information environments the policy should require strict management, monitoring and control of access only to people who have a legitimate need to know. Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) tools allow organizations to automate some aspects of this task by overlaying security policies and controls over corresponding data sources from switches, routers, security platforms, servers, end points and applications, for a real-time view of their state of compliance.
However, no policy can be 100 per cent effective, and many organizations will experience someone on the inside who has met the policy requirement, does have a legitimate need to know, but has illicit intentions. In these cases the security technology should provide the next layer of defense to meet these internal threats.
II. Implement Host-Based Security Solutions.
Host-based security solutions can also be integrated with network access control (NAC) systems to create a first line of defense for systems that regularly go on and off of the network, such as laptops. If a laptop is infected with a virus, or misses an important security patch while disconnected from the organization’s network, the host-based security solutions, in conjunction with the NAC solutions, can assure that effected systems is quarantined, and cleaned of the virus, or receives the proper security patch before it is allowed onto the network.
III. Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
DLP toolsallow an organization to be aware of activity across the network. This includes monitoring what goes out of the network through e-mail, file sharing and via FTP. An organization can fine-tune the solution and have DLP watch the network for particular events, such as blocking e-mail that contains sourcecode or credit card or social security numbers.
These tools can look across the network at individual users in aggregate and see what type of sites are being visited, with a particular emphasis on any sites that enable file-sharing, such as Dropbox, Mozy or YouSendIt. Network administrators may not want or need to block such sites, but it is helpful to know, in real time, when a user accesses these sites and for what purpose.
V. Log Management & Correlation.
Almost every activity on a network leaves a “breadcrumb trail” in the form of log entries — automated entries on the servicers and network devices that users interact with on a network. As a result, if an information leak does occur, logs will provide easier access to forensic information that can go back a few days or a few years. These tools can help determine the source of the leak more rapidly. Importantly, once the path that someone took to get data out of the network is identified, then new policies and procedures can be created to prevent a repeat occurrence.
When implemented in an enterprise environment, all of these individual solutions can be centrally managed and monitored. Most can be integrated with Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) tools for a real-time “single pane of glass” view in the organization’s security environment. SIEM tools allow organizations to automatically correlate events based on event “signatures” — known combinations of events across multiple security platforms that have been know previously to constitute a breach, or attempted breach.
With experience, organizations can build their own signatures based on real or theorized threats in their own environment. Automated response to know events, such as persistent automated attacks — attacks from botnet programs, or other coordinated automated attacks — can allow an agency to move closer to a self-defending network. | 2019-04-26T05:39:00Z | https://www.itbusiness.ca/news/how-to-prevent-wikileaks-from-publishing-your-data/15937 |

Gift Aid increases the value of donations to charities by allowing them to reclaim the basic rate tax on an individual gift. Extra relief can be claimed on donations from higher rate tax payers.
The Gift Aid scheme is for gifts of money by individuals who pay UK tax. Gift Aid donations are regarded as having basic rate tax deducted by the donor. Charities can reclaim the basic rate tax from HMRC on its 'gross' equivalent - the amount before basic rate tax was deducted.
Basic rate tax is 20 per cent, so this means that if a supporter gives £10 using Gift Aid, it's worth £12.50 to your charity.
Therefore, it is important to ask all your donors to fill out a Gift Aid form to say that they would like the tax to be claimed by your charity. Even if they send a one-off donation, it's worth sending them a Gift Aid form through the post with your thank you letter.
There is some useful information for charities on Gift Aid on the Directgov website. Information for individuals on Gift Aid donations is available on the Inland Revenue website. | 2019-04-23T20:01:35Z | http://acornpr.org.uk/tutorial/fundraising/charity-fundraising/giftaid-tax-hmrc.htm |

Messed up the thread part by editing first thread.
The Jammafier is a board that helps you play Jamma games in JVS cabinets. If you have a tri-sync monitor, you can add the tri-sync helper addon for complete plug-and-play, if you don't have a tri-sync monitor you will need some kind of scaler.
Attenuated audio via two RCA connectors for easy use with cabinet amplifier.
This is an alternative to the Namco, Konami and RiverService adapters.

Why would you be? I'd be calling it more something along the lines like doing the community a big favor Keep up the good work buddy!
Don't delay - buy today! Parts and PCB's in transit, assembly is happening next week and I got 3/4 units not spoken for.
Uhhh. Have you ever been to an arcade?
Do you have any news on the Retro Scaler A1 ?
Even if i'm curious to try your JVS to Jamma adapter, i'd love to have a fully working solution for Naomi cabs to play 15K games in a one package solution.
Work-in-progress. Picture quality is awesome, much better than say xrgb2. Some PCB's have really noisy video, so I decided to add a low-pass-filter to make this the 'end-all' arcade scaler.
Biggest hurdle though is cost - I use the 'good stuff' from Analog Devices, and there are a lot of parts on the PCB.
Many parts on the PCB prohibits doing small batches manually, and the cost of all the parts combined makes running a batch of say a 100 a pretty big commitment (and a big risk in case things are not working 100%). I'm honestly not sure how to go about it yet, but I'm working on it - it may not happen at all.
New batch in the works, got a couple of units not spoken for.
Hello, can I take that too to play jamma games in my new net city?
Yes you can, I think all new net city cabs have tri-sync monitors so you should consider the tri-sync helper too.
'Christmas batch' done, units available and going out this Monday.

Zaheera Shaikh, along with her family members, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges framed against her by a sessions court for giving false evidence in the Best Bakery case.
The trial in this connection will start on Wednesday.
Zaheera, prime witness in the case, was brought to the court from Byculla jail on Tuesday where she is serving a one-year sentence imposed on her by the Supreme Court for contempt of court.
The judge had read out the charges to Zaheera on the last occasion and explained the accusations against her and other members of her family.
Additional Sessions Judge Abhay Thipsay, who had conducted the retrial in Best Bakery case, told Zaheera she had falsely stated in court that she had not lodged the First Information Report regarding the incident and that she was unaware of the document although it bore her signature.
The judge also told Zaheera she had falsely stated before him during the retrial that she had not told Vadodara court earlier about talking to police regarding the Best Bakery incident.
He referred to Vadodara court proceedings, which indicated that she had indeed told police about it.
Thipsay further told Zaheera that she had falsely stated before the Mumbai court during retrial that she was unaware of the outcome of verdict of Vadodara court, which had acquitted the accused in Best Bakery case as she and other witnesses had turned hostile.
Explaining the charges to Zaheera, he said she had given a false statement as she was not aware of what happened to the case after it was over in Vadodara court and had also falsely feigned ignorance about the reason as to why the case was being tried again in Mumbai.
The judge also pointed out that Zaheera had turned around by initially stating in evidence that she had not named any one as offender or culprit before any authority or the media but later saying on oath that she had named certain persons as offenders on being tutored by different persons.
He said Zaheera had falsely stated that she was ignorant about the grievances made by her on the conduct of previous trial and also about the Supreme Court ordering the re-trial in view of such grievances. Along with Zaheera, her mother Seherunnisa, brothers Nasibullah and Nafitullah, and sister Sahira are also facing perjury charges and all of them pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.
As regards Zaheera's sister Sahira, the judge said she had made contradictory statements by saying that nobody stayed in the house that was built by the side of Best Bakery and later asserting that her entire family stayed in the same house.
One of the statements was false, the judge noted.
The court pointed out that Sahira had feigned ignorance about the death of her sister Sabira saying she was unaware about the reason of her death, but later admitted she had died in the riots.
In this regard, she had lied to the court.
The judge charged Saheera with falsely stating that she did not know the names of the Best Bakery workers and had also not named them during deposition in the previous trial in the Vadodara court.
He referred to Vadodara court records, which showed that she had given the names of the workers.
Thipsay also told her that she had falsely stated that she was unaware about Zaheera lodging a complaint with police about Best Bakery catching fire on March 1, 2002.
About Nasibullah, the judge said during the re-trial, he had denied making a statement in Vadodara court about police obtaining signature on his statement.
However, the original records show that he had stated this to that court.
Hence, he had given false evidence.
Thipsay charged Zaheera's mother Seherunnisa with telling a pack of lies to the court during the re-trial.
Citing an example, he said Seherunnisa had falsely stated that her daughter-in-law Yasmin Shaikh was not present when the Best Bakery was set afire. | 2019-04-22T06:06:57Z | https://www.rediff.com/news/2006/may/09best.htm |
Christian Siriano just made quite the fashion statement, right on the runway of his S/S 17 show. Continuing to champion the plus-size model movement, Siriano cast a diverse group of women for his Capri-inspired collection, which featured a plethora of chic black-and-white separates and sprinkled in pops of orange and turquoise.
The 30-year-old designer is known for not just his gorgeous clothes but also making headlines for his inclusiveness. He’s dressed everyone from Michelle Obama to fashion blogger Nicolette Mason and successfully collaborated with plus-size brand Lane Bryant. This week, Siriano took to his runway to continue his support of women of all sizes. Five beautiful plus-size models strutted down the runways alongside the rest of the diverse pack, and they absolutely killed it in everything from crop tops to gorgeous bodycon dresses. It’s clear Siriano believes that all women deserve to feel and look amazing in their clothes, and with a size 14 being the brand’s most popular size, it’s refreshing to see a designer continue to create clothing that is stylish and inclusive.
Check out the five ladies who stunned on the Christian Siriano S/S 17 runway below.

So much is to be said about everything I have experienced in life. I was remembering some of the things I have seen and experienced over the years. There is so much to look back and smile about and there is some stuff that many would look at and frown about. However, all of those experiences together have made me into who I am today.
A few of the things that stuck out to me: the thrill of my first roller coaster and the death grip I had on the should bar, I swam with a dolphin, I remember my first homecoming dance and what an embarrassingly awful date I was. I remember early mornings and sweaty "character building" days installing fences and decks. I've seen a lot of hurt too. I have been to a lot of funerals of family members and good friends. I've seen a new natural disaster every year; tsunami of 2004, katrina, earthquake in Hati and many more. On a lighter note, I remember, rather vividly, driving home from the BMV for the first time with my temporary learner's permit and how nervous I was passing a combine along the way. In contrast, I also remember the confidence I felt when I went to take my driver's test to get my license. I remember having the feeling that know how to do about anything, then the realization when I got to college that I was a lot smaller than I ever could imagine. I remember the first day of college and how nervous and quiet I was and how much that has changed over the years.
All of these things have had an impact on who I am today. Romans says that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him.
Now looking forward, I am glad I have experienced everything I have. I'm excited about what lies ahead of me. It's as if I have been taught all of this stuff and then given a blank slate and I get to fill it with what I want! Since there is only another semester of school, I am entering into a brand new time of my life, but I have been learning over the past 20 years how to live successfully in this time. I'm excited to see where I end up. I have my past experience and my future hopes to guide me, an education to help me, friends who love me, family who won't let me fall, and the love of Christ compelling me. I have no boundaries to where I can end up, that is the beauty of my job, there are people who need to hear about the Gospel of Jesus anywhere I go!
I don't think I am usually am not this reflective, but for some reason I started looking back yesterday afternoon. I'm glad I did. I have a renewed excitement about my future and how much I have been preparing for it.
Did I have failures? Of course I did. Do I have regrets? Yes, but I learned from them all. I have fallen and failed at so many things, but at least I have tried. I like the quote from Abe Lincoln, "I'm not concerned that you have fallen, I am concerned that you will rise."
Happy Birthday Jordan !!! 2 decades down and 8 or 9 happy healthy more!!!
remember....God gave us 'today' that is why it's called the "present"!!
love reading your thoughts Jordan! | 2019-04-26T14:19:59Z | http://amossycreek.blogspot.com/2010/12/what-lies-ahead.html |
An infographic purportedly depicting Palestinian attacks in the West Bank makes its case with a photo shot during a Bahrain protest. This would not be the first time the army posted misleading photographs to Facebook to serve its PR machine.
On October 17, the Israeli military posted the above infographic on its Facebook page. The image includes a photograph of a young masked man holding a firebomb and featuring statistics regarding the number of firebomb attacks against Israelis in the West Bank since the start of 2012. The Israeli military urges Facebook users to share the image "because the mainstream media will not."
In fact, the mainstream media did share this photo extensively – in its coverage of protests in Bahrain.
This powerful image has nothing to do with Judea, Samaria, Palestinians or Israelis. It was shot by Reuters photographer Hamad I Mohammed during protests in the Bahraini village of Salmabad last April.
The Israeli military’s decision to use foreign photos to illustrate attacks in the West Bank as part of its propaganda efforts (without indicating that the image is only an illustration) may raise some interesting questions about its own ethical perception and standards.
This is not the first time the army has faced this particular criticism. In June, the army marked gay pride month by posting a photograph of two male Israeli soldiers holding hands. It was later revealed that the two soldiers are not a couple and only one of them is gay.
The use of a photo unrelated to the incident it purports to be illustrating was also more striking given the recent Israeli reaction to another alleged misuse of photographs.
Last March, Israeli military and political figures demanded the United Nation’s OCHA office in Jerusalem fire a staff member after she tweeted a photograph of a fatally wounded girl, whom she indicated had just been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza.
Pro-Israel activists and government officials maintained that the photograph had been published by Reuters in 2006 and a veritable campaign was launched besmirching the OCHA employee. Beyond the hypocrisy inherent in doing something that you had only just condemned others for doing, we should remember a key distinction between the two incidents: While the OCHA employee published the concerned photograph on her private Twitter account, as a private citizen, the Israel Defense Force is an official body and its Facebook page is an official government channel.
There are two options here: 1) The Israeli military did not know the source of the Bahraini image and did not bother to investigate before choosing to use the image (an "investigation" that took me only five minutes); 2) The military was aware of the photograph’s origin and chose to use it anyway in a misleading manner.

Thread: Carpool to 1/23 Harrisburg rally?
Anyone in the Butler, Evans City, Cranbery, so on and so forth area planning on attending this event? I'm interested in organizing a carpool. If need be I can probably steal the wife's mini van for the day.
Re: Carpool to 1/23 Harrisburg rally?
Have you had any others interested in carpooling?
Just started a new job a week ago, so I'm still figuring out how to approach getting Wednesday off, and can't make a commitment at the moment..
Only had one interested, but they seem to have found another car pool closer to where they live. | 2019-04-26T16:17:45Z | http://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=199905&s=c61b27bd7eeade98e4bc5f8156ee083a |
happy valentine day to you too dear..
Happy Valentine's Day Brenda! Love reading your posts!
What a great Valentine's story! Happy V'Day to you and your DH!!
As a southern girl, I've heard Honey Bun, Honey Bunch, and Sweetie Pie, but not Honey Pie! That makes you uniquely special!
Happy Valentine's day to you! By the way, I think the larger hearts are better too!
Did you know that there is a song called 'Honey Pie' by the Beatles?
That's indeed a special heart that you found in the bowl.
Awe, that is so sweet! Blessings sent to you and you DH!!
Now that you believe in Honey Pie, how about thinking of Love Allways as meaning love in all ways - happy or sad, good times or bad - you get the picture, and it's looking pretty love filled to me!
frequently to my husband and son.
I loved this post Brenda! What a great story! Honey Pie is a lovely term of endearment.
My DH is a little corny and old fashioned and he always calls me his beloved, pronouncing it with the three syllables be-luv-ed.
It's a little different but I wouldn't have it any other way.
What a lovely story, and a lovely tradition, Brenda. That's awesome! I'm glad you have a honey to be happy with! I got a couple of phone calls from friends, and I had a lovely day too. (The finish helped, lol.) Have a great one!
I love honey-pie! I've used that occassionaly but generally, my term of endearment is "sugar". Of course, I am a southerner by birth! | 2019-04-26T16:15:48Z | http://withthyneedleandthread.blogspot.com/2012/02/conversation-hearts.html |

What’s the point of compression sleeves? | 2019-04-20T15:21:55Z | https://carlabirnberg.com/tag/running/ |
A trigger point injection is a muscle injection which is meant to reduce pain and to improve mobility. The active ingredient is a very small dosage of a cortisone agent diluted with a local anesthetic such as lidocaine and/or Marcaine. When it is determined that a component of the patient’s symptoms arises from tight/irritated muscle tissue, a properly placed trigger point injection can alleviate pain and improve mobility at that region of the body. Often times, trigger point injections are used in conjunction with physical therapy to speed recovery. An x-ray machine is not typically required for a trigger point injection. Every step is made to minimize discomfort during a trigger point injection.
Following a trigger point injection, it is not unusual to have soreness at the site of the injection. Applying a cold compress to the site is often beneficial to minimize discomfort. There is no need to avoid any type of blood thinning medication or anti-inflammatory medication when having a trigger point injection performed (there are rare exceptions to this). It is important to continue prolonged stretches at least once or twice daily to the injected area in order to maximize the benefit of the trigger point injection(s). It is not necessary to have a driver present when you have this type of procedure performed. We recommend you call the doctor back five to seven days after the trigger point injection is performed in order to determine your response and to make further plans regarding your treatment. | 2019-04-23T12:18:54Z | http://www.stlorthospecialists.com/content/166/Injections/Trigger-Point-Injections |

When cute wrapping paper just isn't enough, why not make your own box? The Gift Box Punch Board lets you easily create boxes in a variety of sizes, up to 4" on each side.
This box is the largest size made with the Gift Box Punch Board. Start with a sheet of paper measuring 12'x12'.
Finished size of the box is 4" x 4" x 4".
I love the Sweet Treat Cups because they add that extra WOW by allowing you to add beads, candy and other treats into your cards and other projects. The one drawback though is that your recipient has to tear apart the project to get to the treat. Adding a trap door is a perfect solution for this problem!

It was a crisp autumn evening when I drove to the radio station in Columbus for an interview. Not knowing what to expect or where the questions would take us, I decided to just enjoy the experience.
My interviewer was Maureen Metcalf. With her extensive knowledge of leadership, she made the process enjoyable with insightful questions and a great conversation. In addition to her role as CEO of Metcalf & Associates, Maureen is the host of VoiceAmerica, an international radio show focusing on innovative leadership. She also writes about leadership and organizational transformation for Forbes.com.
My upcoming book, The Book of Mistakes: 9 Secrets to Creating a Successful Future.
This is a guest post by Dr. Quentin Schultze, Professor of Communication Emeritus at Calvin College, a media company CEO, speaker, and author of many communication books, including the newly released Communicate Like a True Leader: 30 Days of Life-Changing Wisdom. Visit his blog.
A fine friend and skilled speaker landed in a dreadful situation. He had agreed to address a convention of toastmasters—persons who lead local public-speaking clubs where members overcome common speaking fears and practice effective speaking techniques.
When he arrived a few minutes early for the event, he met with his friend who had arranged the speech. He discovered that the audience was not toastmasters, but postmasters who run local post offices.
He frantically tried to organize a speech in his head while his friend introduced him. Then he took the stage, mic in hand, alone with the whole banquet hall of postmasters peering directly at him. What could he possibly do?
My friend explained to his audience that he had planned a speech for the wrong group. That he didn’t even know what postmasters actually do. That he was thoroughly unprepared.
Then he spoke from the heart about what he knew intimately. He told stories about his loneliness. About his fears. About the stifling lack of meaning in his own work sometimes.
My friend’s message was simple but profound: We are all first and foremost human beings, not workers. We share a common humanity. We experience fear as well as hope. We all feel this in our hearts.
Then he thanked the postmasters for the opportunity to share his off-the-cuff thoughts and feelings.
He received a long, standing ovation. The wounded storyteller had connected with the wounded postmasters. By taking off his “professional” mask, he had honestly led them into a shared, human journey of hope. In spite of being unprepared, he had served them as a great leader-communicator.
When the stakes are high, that’s when we need the very best in leadership. Why do some leaders succeed and others fail? Why do some not only survive a crisis, but use difficulty to produce incredible results?
These questions are tackled by Constance Dierickx, PhD in her new book, HIGH-STAKES LEADERSHIP: Leading Through Crisis with Courage, Judgment and Fortitude. She shares how to lead with the type of courage that makes you stand out.
I recently asked her to share her insights on high-stakes leadership.
What do you mean by High-Stakes leadership?
A high-stakes leader is someone who is successful when risk is high and visibility is low. New ventures are an example, whether they are for a new product, service, geography or method of production. Top leader changes, mergers and crisis are also examples of high-stakes situations.
Leaders who get good results achieve value on multiple fronts. As Jim Kennedy, Chairman of Cox Enterprises says, “It can’t be just about the money.” In a crisis, we need only compare the recent leadership failure at Equifax with the response of The Home Depot in a similar circumstance, a breach. The response of these two companies was wildly different. Frank Blake’s actions are a model of what to do.
My book talks about what leaders in high-stakes situations should do and provides examples from a wide range of organizations. I also talk about what gets in the way of leaders. Invisible traps include the human cognitive system, which is not a completely rational system. Our human limits lead us to make mistakes that may look foolish but can be the result of cognitive limits, the effect of emotion on decisions, the context or our own habits of avoiding anxiety.
There is an additional factor, which I include in my forthcoming book Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, in which I focus on mergers, acquisitions and divestitures. That is when we wrongly assign value to opportunities, risk, timelines, market size, and so forth. It’s one thing to think something is low risk and be right and quite another to believe risk is low when it isn’t. Even smart people can be blind when making evaluations, a part of leading. We don’t have measures for everything, and even when we do we aren’t always measuring what matters.
Perhaps the greatest risk of all is in thinking we are operating in a safe zone and being complacent. | 2019-04-25T14:48:09Z | https://www.skipprichard.com/tag/leader/page/5/ |
So I have hosting thru my school but Id like to have a more personalized Domain Name then the long string they give us. Ive already gone thru the Domain Name registration process but I cant seem to figure out how to map it back to my own sever. What should I be doing?
Have you tried redirecting/cloaking it?
You do this under the domain tab. By your domain name find the link that says edit and do it from there.
If I check the Domains > Registration tab it indicates that I have registered a Domain name thru DreamHost.
If I look at my account overall it says I have 0 Plans (not the 0 Plan that I want, but ZERO Plans) but I have a registered Domain Name.
did you sign up for hosting, as well as registering the domain?
mmmm no I didnt since I have my own hosting.
Ok, so just go into the Panel > Domains > registration. You should be able to click modify across from your domain - and just point the name servers to your schools.
If you can’t just point your domain to their name servers, I’m not sure if you can add a cloaked or mirrored domain with no hosting account or not. I don’t see anything off hand on the Dreamhost website about what services they offer with domain registration.
You may want to contact support and see what your options are if you can’t set the name servers to forward on to your school. | 2019-04-25T18:22:22Z | https://discussion.dreamhost.com/t/map-domain-name-to-current-hosting/29986 |

Classic music2work2 - pianos, strings, alternating time signatures and themes - oh, and it's long.
2007 was the year that music2work2 really started to take shape. I was working with a Korg Triton and my recording and mixing chops were getting better. New gear is funny - there is just something about sitting down at a new toy and playing with it - experimenting with what sounds good and what doesn't. As usual the piano track was played first and then subsequent voices recorded on top - you can hear strings, electric pianos and even some funky frequencies as I got deeper into wave forms - Ooooh!
There are a number of different themes going on in this piece - Heath was a guy I met through the Kelli gig - he was a freelance template developer who also happened to be a musician. We collaborated on a couple of things musically but the tech work would get in the way. I learned a lot from Heath including how to manipulate photoshop and how to freestyle on beat tracks - it was fun while it lasted but we eventually went our separate ways.
There's a theme that comes in around 17 minutes - it's called "Andy The Barman" and is a theme that I have promised myself I will develop further. It reflects a particularly bizarre time of my life when I was indeed working a bar in London - strange times but all good grist for the creative mill.
If you like the track you can share it across your Networks – just click share on the right of the player.

The University of California will pay $1.2 million to settle a whistleblower’s claims that one of its teaching hospitals submitted false Medicare and Medicaid claims.
Dennis O’Connor, a former professor and anesthesiologist at U.C. Irvine (UCI), will receive $120,000 for his role in the case; the remainder goes to the U.S. government. In his lawsuit, Dr. O’Connor alleged that UCI routinely gave patients anesthesia without a doctor being present, in violation of federal requirements.
Dr. O’Connor sued UCI under the qui tam provision of the False Claims Act (FCA), which allows private parties to sue on behalf of the United States for fraudulent use of government funds, and to share in any recovery. The government may intervene in the lawsuit, but has no obligation.
According to Dr. O’Connor, UCI hospital staff “pre-filled” reports to make it look like an anesthesiologist was present, even though sometimes no such doctor was in the building. UCI then got reimbursed by federal programs such as Medicare, in violation of the programs’ rules, the suit claimed.
UCI denied the charges, but also said it had retooled its anesthesiology program to make such violations impossible.
The UCI anesthesiology program has faced similar allegations before, according to the Los Angeles Times, and in 2008 the California Medical Board accused its former head of gross negligence and incompetence. | 2019-04-26T02:28:49Z | https://www.employmentlawgroup.com/in-the-news/whistleblower-law-blog/university-of-california-pays-1-2-million-to-settle-medicare-fraud-claims/ |
Usually these appointments go well. Our doctor is a very upbeat man. He is the head of the lung transplant team, so really in comparison, our lung issues are minor. Our lungs work (mostly) after all! My concerns are usually smoothed over and all is right in the world again. Not so much this time. This last hospital stay with our almost intubation and our pulmonary hypertension excitement was our first really big scare since decannulation. Sure we have had pneunomias, but she recovers. He told me that this PH component will most likely be the norm whenever she gets a serious virus. She'll look fine when she's well, but when she's sick, it'll act up and can be serious. Strong words from this doc. Then he added that as she ages, it'll get worse. What? We had been so focused on getting her better. And she is doing awesome. I thought this was pretty much off my radar. Oh no. I guess PH is our friend for life.
Then we got to wait around for three hours to have a repeat ECHO. They want to know if the PH has gone down or not. Well, Bella is feeling better. So she fought tooth and nail. To the point we don't get to have ECHOs anymore. Not the normal way. She is too old for sedation, so the only way they will do it is to do it under general Anesthesia. Really? Sigh!
So kinda of a double whammy today. The appointment that was supposed to be no big deal, kinda was. And the standard test was rejected. Bella is just keeping it interesting!!
It has been a week of recovery. Today we are off oxygen – she made it through the night without needing any! Yeah, Bella!! | 2019-04-23T14:53:06Z | http://arabella.turpinfamily.cc/2014/03/ |
I have a problem with the speed sensitive power steering on my 406 v6 from 2000 (235 000 km).
The loss of power steering was gradual, and especially noticeable at low speed when trying to park. I am not sure, but the power steering seems to improve after 15-20 min of driving - and the fluid reservouir is filled.
I have tried to turn the wheel to full stop and listened after the power steering motor bypass, but it does not come with a high characteristic sound as on my friends v6 from '99. There seems to be a sound but it is high pitched low volume squeal.
There is no warning lights in the dashboard, but the car also appears to be leaking engine coolant, even though I think that the problem is not necessarily related.
No, he hasn't sorted it out yet.
The variable valve on the power steering rack did not work any longer. The solenoid resistance was out of spec (open circuit, I believe). Replaced the little valve with one from Ade, and all was well.
Hello, I dunno if anyone can help me, my steering wheel is too extra soft and too sensitive, if am travelling it will become worse, please what is the problem? What can I do?
1) Which model (engine, etc) do you have?
2) What do you mean by too sensitive? Is there any play in it?
3) Is it something that suddenly appeared?
Sounds like another variable steering gone too light. How did you diagnose yours?
In our case it went heavy, although you're right. I suspect a friend's variable has failed light (doesn't feel right).
In this particular case I measured across the solenoid and found that it was an open circuit, I believe.
I seem to recall that I saw a graph of applied voltage vs speed at some point - could be worth looking at for our unfortunate gentleman? | 2019-04-23T18:17:14Z | http://406oc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=243624 |

1. (i) "Volumetric meter for Liquids" means an instrument composed solely of a measuring device and an indicating device. It generally forms part of a measuring system.
(1)Council Directive No. 71/319/EEC, Articles 2 and 5.
(ii) "Measuring systems for Liquids" means a measuring instrument comprising, as well as the meter itself and the ancillary equipment which may be associated with it, all the devices necessary for ensuring correct measurement and any devices which have been added in order, in particular, to facilitate the operations. Measuring systems are not covered by this schedule.
2. When measuring assemblies for liquids which incorporate volumetric meters for liquids bearing EEC marks and symbols are subject to initial verification, the maximum permissible errors shall be those laid down in Chapter II.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR METERS FOR LIQUIDS OTHER THAN WATER.
1.1. "Minimum delivery" means the smallest volume of liquid which may be measured by a particular pattern.
1.2. "Cyclic volume" means the volume of liquid corresponding to the operating cycle of the measuring device, that is to say to the whole of the movements at the end of which all the internal moving parts of the measuring device return, for the first time, to their original position.
1.3. "Periodic variation" means the maximum difference, during one working cycle, between the volume displaced by the moving components and the corresponding volume shown by the indicator, the latter being connected to the measuring device without play or slip and in such a way that it indicates at the end of the cycle and for this cycle a volume equal to the cyclic volume. This difference may be reduced by a suitable calibration device.
2.1. Meters must incorporate an indicating mechanism showing the measured volume in cubic centimetres or millilitres, in cubic decimetres or litres or in cubic metres.
2.2. In an indicating mechanism having one or more elements, that which is marked with the smallest scale intervals is called the "first element".
2.3. The drive between the indicating mechanism and the measuring device must be reliable, durable and effected by means of a mechanical connection or by a permanent magnet device.
2.4.1. Reading of the indications must be reliable, easy and unambiguous.
2.4.2. If the indicating mechanism incorporates several elements, the indicating mechanism as a whole must be so constructed that the reading of the indication can be performed by simple juxtaposition of the indications of the different elements.
2.5. The maximum capacity of the indicating mechanism must be of the form 1 x 10n, 2 x 10n or 5 x 10n authorised units of volume, n being a whole positive or negative number, or zero.
2.7. When the moving part of an element has a continuous movement, a graduated scale and a datum mark must enable the measured quantity to be determined for every position at which the element might come to rest.
2.8. Scale intervals on the first element must be in the form 1 x 10n, 2 x 10n or 5 x 10n authorised units of volume.
2.9. Except for the element which corresponds to the maximum capacity of the indicating mechanism, the value of one revolution of an element must be of the form 10n authorised units, when the graduated scale on this unit is completely visible.
2.10. When an element consists of a fixed circular scale and a rotating pointer, the direction of rotation of this pointer must be clockwise.
2.11. On an indicating mechanism having several elements, each rotation of the moving part of the elements of which the graduation is entirely visible must correspond to the value of the scale interval of the next element.
2.12. On an indicating mechanism having several elements, the indication of an element with a discontinuous movement, other than the first element, must move forward by one figure while the preceeding element moves through not more than one-tenth of its revolution. This forward movement must cease when the preceding element indicates zero.
2.13. When an indicating mechanism has several elements and when only a part of the scale of the second and subsequent elements is visible in the windows, the movements of the latter elements must be discontinuous. The movement of the first element may be continuous or discontinuous.
2.14. If the indication is given by figures in-line and if the movement of the first element is discontinuous, the marking of one or more fixed zeros to the right of this element is permissible.
2.15. When the first element has only a portion of its scale visible in a window and has a continuous movement, there can be a resulting ambiguity in the reading which should be eliminated so far as is possible. To this end, and in order to allow for reading by interpolation, the relevant window must have, parallel to the movement of the scale, a dimension not less than 1·5 times the distance between the centre lines of two consecutively numbered graduation marks, in such a way that at least two graduation marks of which one will have a figure, are always visible. The window may be assymmetrical relative to the datum mark.
2.16. On scales having graduation marks, the marks must have the same thickness, constant along the length of the mark, which shall not exceed one quarter of the distance between the centre lines of two consecutive marks.
Marks corresponding to 1 x 10n, 2 x 10n or 5 x 10n authorised units shall only be distinguished by difference in their lengths.
2.17. The actual or apparent distance between the axes of two consecutive graduation marks must not be less than 2 millimetres.
2.18. The actual or apparent height of the figures must not be less than 4 millimetres.
3.1. Meters must incorporate a calibrating device which can vary the relationship between the indicated and actual volumes of liquid passing through the meter.
3.2. When this device changes this relationship in a discontinuous manner, the consecutive increments of this relationship must never differ by more than 0·002.
3.3. Regulation by means of a bypass arrangement on the meter is prohibited.
4. twice the periodic variation.
4.2. In the determination of this minimum delivery, account must also be taken, where necessary, of the effect of the additional components on the measuring equipment, in accordance with the requirements stated in the provisions concerning this equipment.
4.3. The minimum delivery must be in the form 1 x 10n, 2 x 10n or 5 x 10n authorised units, n being a whole positive or negative number, or zero.
5.1. The maximum and minimum rates of flow are specified in the certificate of approval in accordance with results obtained during the examination. The meter must be capable of operation for a determined period specified in the certificate of approval, at approximately its maximum rate of flow without showing any noticeable change in its measuring qualities.
5.2. The ratio between the maximum and minimum rates of flow must be at least equal to 10 for meters in general and to 5 for meters for liquefied gases.
6.1. The certificate of approval of a meter must specify the liquid or liquids for which the meter is intended, the temperature limits for the liquid to be measured where these limits are below –10° or above +50°C, as well as the maximum working pressure.
6.2. The examination carried out for the purpose of approving a model of a meter must show that the variations in error due to maximum variations in the properties of the liquids, to the pressure and the temperature of the liquid, within the limits which are to be specified in the certificate of approval, must not exceed, for each of these factors, one half of the values stated in items 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter II.
7.1. When the initial verification of a measuring system is preceded by metrological examination of the meter alone, the maximum permissible errors at the time of this examination are equal to one half of the maximum permissible errors specified in items 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter II but not less than 0·3% of the measured quantity, if the liquid used is the same as that for which the meter is intended.
7.2. However, if the precision of measurement is not sufficient to permit the application of this requirement, the certificate of approval may increase the maximum permissible errors, within the limits of those specified in items 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter II.
7.3. Moreover, the certificate of approval may reduce and/or vary the maximum permissible errors where the verification referred to above will be carried out either with only one of the liquids provided for or with a different liquid.
In the latter case (that is to say when the liquid used in the verification is different from that for which the meter is intended), the certificate of approval may specify the rates of flow during testing at rates other than those which lie between the maximum and minimum rates of flow.
( e ) the cyclic volume.
( i ) the nature of the liquid or liquids to be measured and the limits of viscosity, kinematic or dynamic, where an indication of the nature of the liquid alone is not sufficient to determine their viscosity.
( b ) the minimum delivery.
8.3. Where there is a possibility of ambiguity the direction of movement of the liquid must be indicated by an arrow on the meter casing.
8.4. On meters which measure potable liquids and which can be dismantled, the serial number or the three last figures of this number must be repeated on parts whose replacement can affect the measurement results.
8.5. The indicating mechanism may carry a special description and identifying number.
9.1. Sealing devices must prevent access to parts which can alter the calibration and, the dismantling, even partially, of the meter where such dismantling is not authorised in the certificate of approval (meters which measure potable liquids and which can be dismantled).
9.2. A firm location on an essential part, visible without dismantling, must be provided on the measuring device, on the indicating mechanism or on their housing for the application of the EEC verification mark.
9.3. The certificate of approval may require a location for the application of a stamp on interchangeable components of meters which can be dismantled, alongside the serial number referred to in item 8·4 in this Chapter.
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE ERRORS ON MEASURING SYSTEMS.
From 0·4 to 1 litres .
From 1 to 2 litres .
2 litres or more .
2. However, the maximum permissible error on the maximum delivery is double the value laid down in item 1 of Chapter II and, whatever might be the measured quantity, the maximum permissible error is never less than that permitted on the minimum delivery.
3. Because of difficulties inherent in the testing facilities, the maximum permissible errors are double those given in items 1 and 2 of Chapter II where these are applicable to measuring equipment for liquid gases or other liquids measured at a temperature below – 10°C or above + 50°C as well as for equipment for which the minimum rate of flow is not greater than 1 litre per hour.
4. If, on initial verification, the errors are all of the same sense, one at least amongst them must not exceed the limits laid down in item 7.1. of Chapter I.
The range of load of a gas meter is bounded by the maximum flow Qmax and the minimum flow Qmin.
"Cyclic volume V of a volumetric meter" means the volume of gas corresponding to a cycle of operation of the meter, that is to say to the whole of the movements of the moving components of the meter at the end of which all these components except the indicator and the intermediate transmissions return, for the first time, to their original position.
(1) Council Directive No. 71/318/EEC, Annex.
It is calculated by multiplying the value of the volume represented by a complete revolution of the test element, by the transmission ratio of the measuring device to the index counter.
The operating pressure of a gas meter is the difference between the pressure of the gas at the inlet of the meter and the atmospheric pressure.
The reference pressure pr of a gas meter is the gas pressure to which the indicated volume of gas is related.
The pressure tapping for measuring the reference pressure is laid down in Chapter III.
The pressure absorption of a gas meter is the difference between the pressures measured at the inlet and outlet of the meter during the flow of a gas.
The constant of an output drive is the value of the volume represented by a complete turn of the shaft of this drive; this value is calculated by multiplying the value of the volume represented by a complete turn of the test element by the transmission ratio of the index counter to this shaft.
B. GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR GAS VOLUME METERS.
1.1. Chapter I lays down the general provisions which must be satisfied by all gas volume meters covered by these regulations.
1.2. Chapters II and III lay down the special provisions relating to the meters concerned.
The meters must be manufactured of solid materials with low internal stresses, which change little with age, and which are sufficiently resistant to corrosion and attack by the various gases which are normally distributed or by any of their condensates.
The cases of meters must be gas-tight at the maximum operating pressure.
The meters must be so constructed that any interference which could affect the accuracy of measurement is impossible without damaging the verification marks or protective seals.
For meters, whose indicating devices function positively only for one direction of flow, this direction must be indicated by an arrow.
This arrow is not required if the direction of gas flow is fixed by the construction.
3.1. Meters may be fitted with additional devices (for correction, recording supplementary indication etc.); their addition is subject to the EEC type approval procedure.
3.2. Meters may be fitted with output drives to operate a detachable indicator, a pre-payment device, or any other complementary or additional device.
3.2.1. When these controls are not used, the free end of the drive must be protected by a plug or similar arrangement which can be sealed.
"I rev . . . m3" (or dm3).
3.3. Meters may be fitted with integral pulse generators.
The outlets for these generators should bear an indication of the corresponding value for one pulse in the form "1 pulse > . . . m3" (or dm3).
( h ) for volumetric meters, the nominal value of the cyclic volume expressed as: V= . . . m3 (or dm3).
These inscriptions must be directly visible, easily legible, and indelible under the normal conditions of use of the meter.
4.2. The metrological service which issues the type approval may decide the cases in which the nature of the gas must also be specified on the badge plate.
4.3. The meter may also carry the commercial designation, a special series number, the name of the gas distributor, a mark indicating that it conforms to a European standard, and an indication relating to any repairs made. Unless specially authorised, any other indication or inscription is prohibited.
5.1.1. The counters must be in the form of drums; however, the last element may be excepted from this rule. The drums must be calibrated in cubic metres or decimal multiples or submultiples of the cubic metre. The symbol m3 must be marked on the index plate.
5.1.1.1. The drums indicating the submultiples of the cubic metre if provided must be clearly distinguishable from the other drums, and separated from them by a clearly marked decimal point.
( b ) the indication " x 10, x 100, x 1,000 etc" in such a way that the reading is always made in cubic metres.
5.1.2. The counter must have sufficient numbered drums to be able to indicate within one unit of the last drum, the volume passed during an operating period of one thousand hours at maximum flow rate.
5.2.1. Meters must be designed in such a way that checking can be done with sufficient accuracy. For this purpose they must incorporate in their design an integral test unit or arrangements permitting the connection of a portable test unit.
( b ) a pointer passing over a fixed dial having a graduated scale or a disc carrying a graduated scale moving past a fixed reference mark.
5.2.3. On the graduated scales of these test elements the unit of the graduations must be indicated clearly and unambiguously in m3 or decimal submultiples, of the m3; the beginning of the scale must be indicated by the figure zero.
5.2.3.1. The interval between, scale divisions must be constant throughout the scale and not less than 1 millimetre.
5.2.3.2. The value of the scale divisions must be in the form, 1 x 10n, 2 x 10n, or 5 x 10n m3, n being a whole positive or negative number or zero.
5.2.3.3. The graduation lines must be fine and uniform. In cases in which the division is of the form 1 x 10n or 2 x 10n m3, all the lines representing multiples of 5, and in the case of a division of the form 5 x 10n m3, all the lines representing multiples of 2, must be distinguished by a greater length.
"The needle or the fixed mark must be sufficiently thin to permit a certain and easy reading.
The controller element must be able to be supplied with a mark detachable clearly and of a sufficient shape to allow the photoelectric scan. The mark must not recover the graduation; it can take, if such be the case, the place of the figure 0. This mark must not harm the precision of reading".
The diameters of drums must be at least 16 millimetres.
The diameter of the graduated scales mentioned in Chapter I B 5.2.2. (b) must be at least 32 millimetres.
The counter must be so designed that it can be read by simple juxtaposition of the figures.
The advance by one figure at any part of the index must be completed whilst the figure of the immediately next lower range describes the last tenth of its course.
Meters must be so designed that the counter may be removed easily during examination.
6.1. The measuring errors are expressed as a relative value by the ratio, as a percentage, of the difference between the volume indicated and the volume actually passed by the meter, to the latter volume.
6.2. These errors relate to the measurement of volumes of air having a reference density of 1:2 kg/m3. Under normal atmospheric conditions the ambient air in a test laboratory may be considered to satisfy this condition.
6.3. The maximum permissible errors are specified in Chapters II and III; they are valid for the authorised direction of flow.
The maximum permissible values of pressure absorption are specified in Chapters II and III.
The application of EEC verification marks and seals on a gas meter certifies solely that the meter meets the requirements of this schedule.
The locations of the marks must be chosen in such a way that dismantling of the part sealed will involve destruction of the marks.
8.2.2. When the inscriptions mentioned in item 4.1 of Chapter I B are on a special badge plate, one of the marks should be fixed in such a manner that it is damaged if the special plate is removed.
( b ) on all parts of the casing which cannot otherwise be protected against interference liable to affect the accuracy of measurement.
Meters submitted for the EEC initial verification shall be in working order. If the meters are to be used with additional devices operated by output drives, these accessories must have been connected during the examination unless a later connection has been expressly authorised.
—shall receive seals in the locations provided for the protection of certain components against interference liable to affect the meter characteristics.
PROVISIONS RELATING TO GAS VOLUME METERS WITH DEFORMABLE WALLS.
This Chapter applies, together with the provisions of Chapter 1, to gas meters in which the measurement of gas passed through is effected by means of measuring chambers with deformable walls.
2.2. If for a type of meter the value of Qmin is lower than the number given in the table of item 2.1 of this Chapter, the numerical value of this Qmin must be expressed by a number in column 3 of this table or by a decimal submultiple of this number.
2.3. Meters having a cyclic volume less than the value given in the table of item 2.1 of this Chapter may be approved provided that the model satisfies the requirements of the special endurance test prescribed.
3.1. For each of the meters the difference between the calculated value of the cyclic volume V and the value of this volume specified on the meter must not exceed 5% of the latter.
3.2. Meters G1·6 to G6 inclusive may be provided with a device to prevent operation of the counter when the gas flows in a non-authorised direction.
"The volumes of air to be measured can be replaced by the volumes most closely corresponding to a whole number of turns of the controller element".
5.1.2. In EEC initial verification the errors for a meter for flows Q between 2Qmin and Qmax must not all exceed 1% if they are all of the same sign.
The above values relate to the maximum of the mechanical pressure absorption.
For meters for which the operating pressure exceeds 0:1 MN/m (1 bar) the provisions of item 6.2. of this Chapter regarding the mechanical pressure absorption apply, but the total pressure absorption mentioned in item 6.1. of this Chapter of these meters is not taken into consideration.
( d ) at a flow rate 0.5Qmax for meters for which the operating pressure is greater than 0·1MN/m (1 bar).
If the examination is conducted under different conditions, the guarantees must be at least equal to those obtained by the tests mentioned above.
PROVISIONS CONCERNING GAS METERS WITH ROTARY PISTONS OR TURBINES.
—in which the measurement of gas passed is effected by means of measuring chambers with rotary walls.
—in which the axial flow of gas rotates a turbine wheel and the number of revolutions of the wheel represents the volume of gas passed.
and decimal multiples of the last five lines.
3.1.1. Meters should include upstream and downstream static pressure tappings of 3 to 5 millimetre diameter to permit measurement of the pressure drop:the pressure measured upstream will constitute the reference pressure.
3.1.2. The meters may incorporate a manual arrangement for turning the pistons provided that it cannot be used in such a way as to interfere with the correct operation of the meter.
3.1.3. The bearings of the shafts of the rotary pistons of meters of sizes G160 and above may be constructed in such a way as to provide access to them without breaking the protective seals.
3.2.1. The meters must incorporate a pressure tapping permitting, if necessary indirectly, the determination of the pressure immediately upstream of the turbine wheel as a reference pressure.
3.2.1.1. If there is a device for throttling the gas flow upstream of the rotor, the meter may incorporate, as well as the pressure tapping required by item 3.2.1. of this Chapter, another pressure tapping immediately before the throttle to permit determination of the pressure drop across the throttling device.
3.3.1. These pressure tappings must be provided with means for closing them.
3.3.2. The pressure tappings for the reference pressure must be clearly and indelibly marked "pr" and the pressure tapping should be indicated as "p".
Maximum permissible error in EEC initial verification.
5.2. The errors must not all exceed half the maximum permissible error if they are all of the same sign.
Qmin, 1.5Qmin, 2.5Qmin, 0.25Qmax, 0.5Qmax, and Qmax.

A change in any status quo is often a cause for disquiet. When that happens in the corporate sector, various stakeholders—be they employees, customers or shareholders—have to put up with a phase of uncertainty.
In these matters, unitholders (though directly affected) are not consulted. However, all takeovers are not the same, and your (unitholders’) response to them should vary accordingly.
When this happens, you could remain invested if the purchaser’s pedigree inspires comfort. In such cases, you will usually have a clear idea about who will manage your scheme. These schemes may either continue to exist separately or may be merged into an acquirer’s existing scheme in due course.
For example, Birla Mutual Fund took over Alliance Mutual Fund’s schemes. Some of the earlier schemes still exist, including Alliance Frontline Equity, which is now Birla Sun Life Frontline Equity. The performance of the schemes has not deteriorated due to this takeover.
In an increasingly globalized world, where the proverbial flutter of a butterfly’s wings in China causes an earthquake in California, such “sponsor" changes may be due to reasons completely unconnected with the local outfit’s performance or business outlook. For instance, in 2009, Barclays Bank Plc had to sell off its profitable exchange-traded fund (ETF) business to BlackRock Inc owing to losses suffered in its other divisions.
It may also be the result of a “strategic review" conducted by the sponsor or be based on the recommendations of a management consultancy.
Whatever the reasons, such changes are a cause of concern to unitholders. In such cases, they should first inspect the credentials of the new owners and the relevant skills that they bring to the table. Often, the purchaser will be some deep-pocketed industrial or financial powerhouse, but unitholders should not be unduly impressed by this. MFs are essentially pass-through vehicles. Hence, the risks faced by unitholders are neither mitigated nor enhanced by the financial standing of the sponsor. What really matters, is the quality of fund management. If the fund managers of the old fund are competent but the new owner is unable or unwilling to retain them, then investors could consider exiting, especially if the purchaser currently lacks a good fund management team. However, if the new owner categorically states that the old team will be retained, then unitholders may breathe easy.
Two such instances are, HDFC Mutual Fund’s takeover of Zurich Asset Management Co. and Infrastructure Development Finance Corp.’s takeover of Standard Chartered Mutual Fund. Here both the purchasers were financial behemoths but they lacked fund management expertise. Hence, instead of reinventing the wheel, they retained the old team. This move has immensely benefited both unitholders and fund sponsors.
In the case of Templeton’s purchase of Kothari Pioneer, the new owner could easily have jettisoned the old team, considering that it is a formidable global fund house itself. However, they chose to retain and nurture this team as they had acquitted themselves well in the Indian markets. Again, this proved to be a boon for unitholders who held on.
Today, takeovers are in the limelight once again, owing to the recent stake sale by Fidelity Mutual Fund. I am not too sanguine about this particular transaction. While the purchaser is part of one of India’s largest conglomerates, the performance of the equity schemes of another fund that they own, is nothing to write home about. Also, while the new owners have given an assurance that the existing fund managers will help facilitate the transition, it is highly likely that the old team will move on immediately afterwards.
So where does that leave unitholders in this particular instance? While there is no need to bail out in a hurry, the ultimate decision whether to stay put or exit should hinge on clarity regarding the composition of the new (permanent) equity fund management team.
Unfortunately, this clarity may only emerge over the next six months or so. Prior to that, unitholders in all Fidelity schemes (except equity-linked saving scheme and fixed maturity plans) will be given the option to exit via the month-long zero load Securities and Exchange Board of India-mandated exit window. Intuitively, I believe that many may choose to sever ties at this stage.

Nina’s right arm was a tapestry of destruction, an inked and toned muscled map of her kills and conquests. Monsters never before seen were forever immortalized in their horror. Monsters she had hunted and slain out here in the far reaches of space and time. There was so much darkness in the universe, and Nina lived for the timeless night of it.
Nina’s left arm bared only the crest of her father’s regimen and a scared-over patch of skin on her wrist that had once been a commitment to a man she would rather since forget. Like her father, Nina had always lived life for the moments, and that patch of flesh had turned out to be just that.
One which was now best long forgotten.
The planet had three suns, casting it in a variant of amber and pink depending upon the hour. The ground beneath her feet creaked and quivered from their pull, a never-ending shimmer of quakes from various epicenters as the crust tried unendingly to adjust to their gravity.
Nina stared out at the horizon, a massive sink hole caving-in in the desert before her as the wind whipped at her long pulled back mane of seemingly endless black hair. Her amber eyes took it in unflinchingly. They were the eyes of a hawk, a calm raptor on the hunt passed down from her father. She dressed in black, a tight black tank and leggings tucked into long well-worn black boots. Her skin was a glowing bronze and both a custom designed blaster and plasma sword hung from the belt at her thighs.
One ranged weapon, one melee. Standard field issue under her father’s command, not that Nina had ever been under any man’s command.
There was evil on this planet. Nina could feel it down there in the vibrating core of this forgotten rock. She could almost smell it reeking up from the fresh lake sized hole before her and drawing her sword, she hopped down into the pit.
When Nina was eight her mother had given her a Belzsnark. He had been an ugly little green and yellow spotted thing, his color dull and his trunk stunted but he had followed her everywhere and they had used to play in the caves together. There were Luminites in the cave and the Belzsnark would sniff them out with his off-sized trunk, the caves growing darker and darker with each one he devoured until there was no light left at all and Nina and the Belzsnark would continue on their way in darkness. Nina had always been comfortable in darkness, a fact that had made her father and his unit proud. It was dangerous for a member of the Space Fleet to rely solely on something as easily deceived out here in the Outer Quadrants as sight. Sight was based on a creature’s ability to interpret light, and space was nothing if not full of tricky light.
There was light in the natural caverns of the rumbling cave, Nina could see it flickering off the walls ahead. She was aware of being led downward as she headed for them, and the rumbling seemed to be absorbed more by the hold of the ancient sediment although she had no doubt that any moment the opening above her would shift and cave it. She pressed a button on her sword and felt the molecules come to life invisibly around her, the technology to terra-form entire planets reduced to a humming bubble of Galaxxy Industries ingenuity. The battery would hold for two weeks, any longer than three days down here and Nina would head back to the ship as a precaution.
There was no way of telling how far ahead the lights were. They seemed a pale blue or violet in origin but no light was ever to be trusted and with the GI bubble tuned into servicing her she could not use any other senses until closer. As she approached the glow just meters in the distance Nina noticed a change in the atmosphere beyond the security of her bubble.
The rocky cavern walls had begun humming. If Nina had been able to get a closer look in the darkness she was certain she would have found their speckled crystalline flakes glittering and dancing as they vibrated.
Nina now knew exactly what those pale and dangerous beckoning lights were in the darkness beyond.
A magnetically produced and perpetuated underground lightning storm of generated friction providing a natural barrier between her and whatever lay in the pit. Nina walked through the beautiful cascading catastrophe as the sound of crackling roared all around her shield. It would hold, the flickering blues and ultra-violets could sneer and rage all they wanted, Galaxxy Industries had tested-out under far more extreme planetary conditions than this. It was the best, and Nina calmly strode through the subterranean storm without so much as a flinch, for she too was the best.
Beyond the storm there was only silence and the void.
Nina fell still, listening and feeling the silence and darkness before her. It must go on for miles in the darkness, a darkness which was far too dark for human eyes to ever adjust to and thus Nina’s fell closed.
A large massive aquifer in the darkness.
A splash then, a slithery wet splash of something testing the surface tentatively before quietly diving back under. Nina opened her eyes.
Nina altered the levels on her shield for the slightest fraction of seconds shooting out a GI Flare into the cavern, lighting up the walls in violent crimson causing the creature to groan; shuddering the walls in his pained rage from beneath the waters. She had activated the flare just as much to harm his own sight as to aid her own and from his increasing fury she could tell it had worked.
Calmly the Demon Slayer gripped her sword and braced for impact.
The cave shuddered, great chunks of rock falling from the ceiling into the water as he rose from the waters in a speed reserved only for such demons of the deep, tendrils wrapped tight around her bubble and soon she was swallowed up by a wall of nasty green and red bulbous pulsating suckers, his voice echoing off the cave walls as he cursed her in the forgotten tongue of The Unformed.
Back before The Light, before Shadows. Back when there was only the dark cold vastness of space.
Nina let him take her in, swallowing her down pass rows and rows of razor sharp teeth until she landed in the dark void of nothingness that was the monster’s core.
…and then there was nothing but the fire and The Forgotten’s screams for as far as the senses could endure.
Then it was simply blown away by the planet’s winds and there was only Nina in the pit, now twice the circumference but just as dried out and lonesome as before.
There were no aftershocks as Nina made her way to her ship, the power of her subterranean blast temporarily stabilizing the planet.
Nina stripped from her suit in the decontamination chamber, robotic arms aiding her in purging irritants of any biological, radioactive, or chemical nature and redressing her for take-off.
Nina’s ship “The Pale Mistress” blasted off into the bitter glaring sunlight, the planet as oblivious to her exit as it had been her arrival. Space cared nothing for life or death, only the light and the dark. This planet had existed out here in the Outer Quadrants for billions of years, and it would continue to exist for billions more until its suns began to eat one another and consume it as a mere side-morsel within their excretions.
Planets and stars didn’t care about evil.
That was the job of the living.
That was Nina’s job, the job of the Demon Slayer.
To bring death to evil.

We're working on building our archives of past sermons. In the meantime you can visit our VIMEO or PODBEAN pages and find all of our past messages there.
A tomb, an empty tomb and a gardener. In this 3-piece Easter message, Kevin Armstrong gives us a powerful depiction of the reserrection and the life that it brings for us- starting now.
In the hours before his arrest, trial and execution, Jesus prayed to the Father, "Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify You." Of course, Jesus knew what was coming; His death and resurrection would be the ultimate revelation of the love- and glory- of God.
An advent encounter through the lenses of Isaiah, Zechariah, Mary and Simeon. Prophesy and song lead us into the wonder and majesty of the birth of Jesus our Lord.
We spent a year focusing on the Kingdom of God and all the ways God is working to restore this world, and bring His Kingdom here. This is a 2-part recap of the series as a whole.
This series on Matthew 5 looked at the antitheses statements of Jesus. Jesus repeatedly says, "You have heard it said... now I say to you..." and in doing so, he challenges everything everyone had ever believed under the law. | 2019-04-25T23:53:36Z | http://forestbrook.ca/sermonarchives/ |

Conversations about incarceration often center around men, and logically so. Of the 2.3 million people currently incarcerated in US prisons and jails, the majority are men.
But women bear many of the burdens of mass incarceration. Because incarceration rates and overpolicing are geographically concentrated in communities that are disproportionately people of color and disadvantaged, burdens fall heaviest on women of color. Here’s how.
1. Women suffer economically when men are incarcerated.
The Urban Institute recently hosted a screening of Milwaukee 53206, a documentary on what filmmakers say is the zip code with the highest rate of incarceration per capita, where 91 percent of residents identify as black or African American.
According to the most recent Census Bureau estimates, 53206 has more female-headed households than any other zip code in Milwaukee: 43 percent of households are female headed, compared with 18 percent of all Milwaukee zip codes. Nationwide, female-headed households are twice as likely to live in poverty, with a median income of $36,151 ($53,657 is the median income of the general population).
In 2007, 54 percent of incarcerated fathers were their family’s primary financial support at the time of incarceration. In 2012, zip code 53206 reported the lowest gross family income ($20,260) of single-state filers in Milwaukee.
2. Women shoulder the fines, fees, and other costs when a loved one is incarcerated.
According to a 2014 state-by-state survey conducted by NPR and the Brennan Center for Justice, most states charge system-involved people for a range of criminal proceedings and oversight, including public defender services, jail or prison stays, and probation or parole supervision.
Most people have no source of income while they’re incarcerated, and those who can get a job earn, on average, between 14 cents and $1.41 per hour. This is before mandatory state deductions, which often leave incarcerated laborers with half or less of their gross earnings.
Loved ones in the community are left to absorb those fines and fees. In one study of families of incarcerated people, in which 76 percent of respondents identified as black or African American and 15 percent identified as Latinx or Hispanic, 63 percent of family members reported paying their loved ones’ court fees. Of these 63 percent, 83 percent were women.
The average debt for court-related fines and fees for these families was $13,607, or 52 percent of the median income of African American female-headed households and 45 percent of Latinx female-headed households. More than one in three families incur large amounts of debt to cover these costs.
These fines and fees are a particularly heavy burden to bear for women of color due to the way race exacerbates the gender pay gap and gender segregation of work.
3. Women act as sole caretakers when a loved one is incarcerated.
Most men in state and federal prisons (51 and 56 percent, respectively) are fathers of minor children. When a father is incarcerated, a mother suddenly becomes the primary caretaker for shared children and other relatives the couple may support.
In addition to caring for their children, these women take on the added responsibility of facilitating phone calls, letter writing, and in-person visits to maintain the father-child relationship.
One report found that 87 percent of family members responsible for prison phone calls and visiting costs are women, 91 percent of whom are black or African American or Latinx or Hispanic.
Those costs also come with immense emotional and caretaking labor, such as comforting and explaining to children where their parent is, taking long bus rides to and from the facility, and spending money and time assembling care packages.
Urban research suggests that investing in communities and supporting families can ease the burden on women still in the community when their loved one is incarcerated or coming home from prison or jail. However, the most effective solutions would be to reduce the number of people incarcerated and the amount of time people serve.

Hyderabad Cricket Association, shortly referred as HCA flourished into an effective and legal governing body under the oversight of numerous illustrious personalities who encouraged the game of cricket competently within the state of Andhra Pradesh.
Hyderabad Cricket Association promotes the game of cricket by bringing forth plentiful opportunities for budding cricketers and their dream of representing national team at the international cricket circuit.
The Hyderabad Cricket Association is affiliated to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI - national establishment for all cricket in the country) and promotes cricket by organizing several league tournaments and national level tournaments for various age bracket which include Under-14, Under-16, Under-19, Under-22, and Under-25.
The origination of cricket in the city of Hyderabad dated back to the year 1880 as the game of cricket in the city was first brought out by the British army. However, the role of the former Joint Secretary of Hyderabad Cricket Association is appreciable that he along with few other organizers and cricketers were the sole reason behind the formation of a governing body for cricket in the city known as Hyderabad Cricket Association.
It was Nawab Moin-ud-Dowla Bahadur who made the game of cricket in the city of Hyderabad to progress by his substantial support and endeavors. In 1930/31 marks, the launching of first class cricket tournament (Moin-ud-dowla Gold Cup) in the city which contributed a lot of valuable effects as numerous budding cricketers came out in the public eye. A total of three cricket teams took part in the tournament and they were Nawab of Moin-ud-Dowla XI, Maharaj Kumar of Vizianagaram XI and Hyderabad.
When Ranji Trophy domestic first-class cricket championship was commenced in the country during the year 1934, the necessity for a local governing body came up. This sparked off the establishment of Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) in April 1934 by a committee which comprised of DN Dittia, Ganesh Rao, Hussain Ali Khan, Mahmood Hussain Khan, Nadir Shah Chenoy, PF Durrand, Dattatriya, Rangannah and S.Ali Raza. The committee named Turab Yar Jung as the first President of Hyderabad Cricket Association.
Therefore, from the year 1934 until this date, Hyderabad Cricket Association has been the exclusive governing body of the game of cricket in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad cricket team, Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket stadium and other cricket activities in the state.
Hyderabad cricket team has taken part in every single Ranji Trophy Tournament from its institution and has exhibited a fabulous display by becoming victorious twice in 1937-38 and 1986-87.
In addition, Hyderabad cricket team has entered Ranji Trophy finals twice and semi-finals for about 16 times in the history. This comes as a solid proof for the range of administration at Hyderabad Cricket Association, and the dedication extended towards the game of cricket.

With winter just around the corner, you should start preparing your home for the colder weather. It’s a good idea to go over your house from the top down and the inside out to keep the cold air out and lower your power bills. Consider these three tips to get your windows, doors, and HVAC winter ready.
Before you do anything to your home, get the exterior of your property in shape. Drain your sprinkler system and insulate any faucets or spigots to reduce the chance of a pipe leak. You should also trim any heavy or low-hanging limbs near your home. During an ice or snow storm, these branches can fall and cause damage to your roof or car.
Your HVAC in winter needs to be in tip-top shape to keep your home cozy. Have your furnace inspected and tuned up so that it can function properly. If you have a separate A/C unit, you may want to have it cleaned and drained before you cover it to protect it from the elements. You should also have your chimney inspected and cleaned to prevent any potential fire hazards when you use it over the winter.
Did you know you can use an air leak detector to find drafts around windows and doors? If you do find any leaks, you can replace weather-stripping or re-caulk as an added layer of protection. In some environments, you may want to install storm doors and windows to further reduce drafts and improve energy efficiency. Inspect your attic insulation as well for any worn-out areas and replace if needed.
The colder months can be quite pleasant from the inside of your home when you take care of seasonal maintenance. Not only will you reduce your energy costs and keep your home warm, you can even protect your structure and HVAC in winter with a minimum of effort. | 2019-04-19T08:50:44Z | https://www.greenhvacair.com/3-tips-to-get-your-home-ready-for-winter/ |

The paper "Reproductive and Therapeutic Cloning" is a worthy example of a biology essay.
Artificial Cloning is a technological advancement that would largely change the world. This relatively new concept can potentially impact the fields of medicine, agriculture and human life. Cloning involves the manipulation of stem cells in order to regenerate new cells, organs or living beings. There are two categories of cloning, that is, therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning. The two categories of cloning are relatively similar as both involve the use of stem cells. However, two cloning categories vary in terms of procedure and purpose.
Reproductive cloning involves the use of stem cells for the purpose of creating an organism that is identical to the parent organism (Cibelli et al 2013). The procedure involves the use of somatic nuclear cell, which is retrieved from a donor egg. The material is used to create a genetically identical animal, plant or human. In animal cloning, the manipulated cell is returned to the uterine environment for development. One of the most famous examples of this type of cloning is the creation of Dolly the sheep in 1997(Cibelli et al 2013). This type of cloning may be performed on plants, animals or human beings.
Therapeutic cloning involves the harvesting of stem cells from embryos for the purpose of regenerating a tissue, organ or cell. This type of cloning is used in the medical field for the production of tissue, muscle, and cells. Unlike reproductive cloning, therapeutic cloning is widely practiced in the medical field. Also, the embryo used to retrieve the nucleus, in therapeutic cloning, dies after removal.
There are a plethora of benefits attributed to artificial cloning. In the agricultural sector, cloning can be used to create animals and plants that produce high yields. In terms of wildlife, artificial cloning will enable us to revive endangered species or even extinct species, for example, dinosaurs. In medicine, cloning facilitates drug production and treatment. | 2019-04-19T20:20:31Z | https://writesmyessays.com/essay/cloning-1889273 |

On Wednesday 7 November customers at Caesar Court, one of Orbit’s flagship independent living with care housing schemes in Deal, Kent, officially unveiled an art project to commemorate the Centenary of World War I.
The project originated from the craft group at the scheme. They felt passionate about marking the centenary and wanted to plan something visual that would serve as a special memorial for the fallen. They crafted two handmade wreaths and a stunning embroidery that said ‘Lest We Forget’. They also made over 300 poppies out of felt that they hung from netting in the foyer to frame the whole project for a dramatic effect.
Caesar Court comprises 81 one and two bedroom apartments, which were made available through a mix of affordable rent and shared ownership. The scheme is owned and managed by Orbit and has become a real hub for the local community, with a number of its facilities being open to the public, including: a hairdressers, café and restaurant. | 2019-04-21T06:41:53Z | https://www.orbit.org.uk/media/latest-news/2018/11/customers-at-caesar-court-in-deal,-kent-commemorate-wwi-centenary/ |
Read what our clients have to say about us. Watch one of our success!
"When I first came to Patty I had basically lost hope that my eczema would get better. I had spent the previous year going to the GP, several naturopaths and a homeopath but my skin kept getting worse. Going to a dermatologist was not an option for me as I have had adverse reactions to steroids which would only suppress my condition and not treat the underlying causes. In spite of a year trying various supplements, vitamins and creams my eczema was spreading from my legs to my torso, arms and along my hair line. I was desperate and found The Skin Clinic online after searching for natural skin clinics. Although I live on the Sunshine Coast I was willing to drive to Brisbane to see Patty as I liked her holistic approach of treating the skin from the inside out. On my first visit Patty looked at my legs and said that it may take 3-6 months to treat but that it was possible. She gave me hope where I had none. We discussed my diet and lifestyle, including stress factors, and she recommended a "rainbow diet", keeping a food diary, reducing stress and being grateful. She also provided me with a DMK supplement and Maximum Moisture cream which at last calmed and soothed my skin. During my regular visits (every 3 weeks) I received enzyme therapy on my legs and they got progressively better, seeing noticeable improvements after every visit. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Patty as she is so caring, genuine and made me feel very special. I can highly recommend Patty for your most challenging skin issue and she will bring a smile back to your face. And she also does a great job on my eyebrows while waiting for the enzyme therapy to do its work. Patty is a very special practitioner. Thank you for being so caring and skilled at what you do."
"I have never used to have acne problem after my teen years so I was in dismay when these little, sore and annoying pimples appear on my face at the age of 27. I naively thought that they will go away after time of the month but they never did! My confidence level was a record low as i just couldn't look at myself in the mirror. frustratingly, I turned to the doctors for a fast solution, and I was prescribed with low dose antibiotics. A week after started on the antibiotics, I was skeptical of the side effects of the antibiotics as I understand that sooner or later my body will develop resistance to these pills. So, i decided to turn to Patty and it appears to be one of the wisest decisions I have made in my life.
I love coming in to visit the girls - they always do a wonderful job (perfect eyebrows every time) and they always make you feel special.
I can not praise girls enough their work is amazing. I've never had so many positive comments about my eyebrows. She's a genius. Can't believe she fixed my patchy brows. Book an appt she's a complete sweetie. Wont let anyone else touch my brows ever.
I started seeing the team at Complexion Code around three months ago feeling as though I had tried everything before and that I had already exhausted every option. I had become very skeptical that there could be anyone or anything out there that could actually help my skin - however with my wedding day fast approaching I wanted to try one last thing.
During my first appointment with the therapist, I felt instantly at ease. Her outstanding knowledge of skin conditions and her genuine care for my well-being gave me hope and confidence to try everything Complexion Code suggested. Nearly 7 treatments later I am seeing the amazing results of heeding Complexion Code's advice and following the routines she has set for me closely. Many people are noticing the improvement in my skin and I am finally feeling happy with how I look without makeup! I am so grateful that Complexion Code has been able to look at my skin and ask the questions required to pinpoint exactly what the triggers of my bad skin actually were. I can say that my investment in the treatments I have been receiving from Complexion Code and the Danne Montegue-King products I am now using has been one of the best decisions of my life.
I am always looking forward to my next appointment at Complexion Code and once I have finished my skin treatments, I will certainly be returning regularly to enjoy Complexion Codes other luxurious services! Thanks to the girls, I will have the skin I have always dreamed of for my wedding day!
It is very hard having "problem skin" (as so many beauticians have referred to in the past). I have suffered from acne for many many years and tried everything before resorting to my last option of going on Roaccutane. I'm not happy about being on it and I know about all the side effects... but looking in the mirror at disgusting acne every day is so much worse than any of these. When I have been to salons in the past the therapist has always made me feel terrible about being on Roaccutane and/or my "problem skin".
I am a very happy customer and really look forward to my next visit early in the New Year. You have just won yourself a loyal customer - thank you very much! | 2019-04-25T00:40:02Z | http://www.complexioncode.com.au/testimonials.html |
I took myself to the theatre yesterday to see Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing and I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s a brilliant production; the script has some truly beautiful lines and they’re played with sincere depth. The play may have a complicated architecture and layers of artifice - plays within the play and scenes within a scene - but the overall vision is clear-eyed and direct. It strikes straight at your heart. Henry’s speech about the sanctity of words had me holding my breath; I don’t know if I’ve ever heard how I feel about writing so accurately articulated. I saw myself in those lines and in Henry’s absolute romanticism.
I admire actors because of the talent they have to bring words to life with a great measure of sincerity. It’s such a talent, to balance all the delicacy of the written word and make it seem, on stage, like it’s from the heart. Laurence Fox is excellent in the role of Henry because whether he’s talking about words, love, pop music or a cricket bat, he seems so real. The almost hopeless romantic streak of the playwright is revealed slowly, and shows tenderness underneath the brilliant wit.
Both Henry’s ex-wife Charlotte and his new wife Annie are also played with sensitivity and grit; the realness and pragmatism of these women are what shines a light on Henry’s romanticism. They are complex, sympathetic and brilliantly played by Rebecca Johnson and Flora Spencer-Longhurst. Henry doesn’t inhabit a world of fiction where women swoon into a man’s arms, or act the villain and yet he loves like a courtly hero, in an absolute sense. It is to Fox’s credit that Henry comes across in this way – he has a streak of naiveté a mile wide - without losing any of the character’s intelligence or humour.
I don’t know why I went on my own to see this play other than because it felt right. Perhaps I, too, am a hopeless romantic and would rather go it alone than see it with anyone who wasn’t “my chap” but I don’t think it’s just that. I’ve long reconciled myself with the idea of being single. I’m too romantic to compromise, too incompetent at dating and nowhere near pretty enough to compensate for either failing. That’s OK. I didn’t go to the theatre alone to weep into my gin and tonic, nor because I wouldn’t be able to find anyone to go with me. I went alone because words are one of my true loves, and I wanted to be with them.
I’ve been feeling uncertain about my own writing - a little lost, out of place or left behind by peers, frustrated that I can’t get anywhere, not really sure where I want to get. So many things competing in my head, no wonder I’m feeling uncertain. Yesterday reminded me that I should hold true to my love of words, and write in all sincerity. Maybe I needed to be alone to see that. Maybe that’s why I so admire talented actors – when they bring words to life, something in me comes alive too. | 2019-04-23T12:59:38Z | http://www.writingbyzoe.com/blog/2017/11/5/in-search-of-the-real-thing |
Serves 6 as a topping for grilled fish, chicken or pork. Also great as a filling or topping in a wrap with chicken, turkey, shrimp or tuna. Try as a dip with crispy tortilla chips or toasted flatbread squares.
For the dressing, combine all the ingredients and stir until well combined.
In the meantime, prepare the salsa mix ingredients and place in a medium bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salsa ingredients and toss well. Serve garnished with extra chili flakes, if desired. | 2019-04-20T04:36:49Z | http://ogvg.com/cucumber-mango-salsa |
A new book describes how waves of shareholder activism have been altering the corporate landscape for nearly a century.
Many analysts and reporters perceive shareholder activism as a trend that emerged in the last three decades. And it’s true that a market beset by short-termism, large pools of capital and cheap debt, and fickle investors who punish stocks when they post a bad quarter has created conditions ripe for shareholder actions. But takeover investors have been around as long as the market.
Indeed, as Jeff Gramm shows in his lively, well-researched book Dear Chairman: Boardroom Battles and the Rise of Shareholder Activism (HarperCollins, 2016), investors have been clawing their way onto company boards and into the decision-making process for nearly a century. From Benjamin Graham’s 1926–28 fight with the Northern Pipeline Company to Bill Ackman’s failed 2013 attempt to take over J.C. Penney, Gramm, a professor of investing at Columbia Business School who also runs a hedge fund, documents a host of proxy battles, board position struggles, minority shareholder ascents, and hedge fund raiding of the modern corporate era.
Gramm describes how the dynamics of the market for control of public companies has evolved over the decades. During the stock market booms of the 1890s and 1920s, shareholders focused on horizontal and vertical grabs for power in the form of mergers and stock market manipulations. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was common to see companies engage in serial acquisitions to build conglomerates. The 1980s saw an abundance of what become known as greenmailing — a phenomenon in which activist investors would amass a stake, threaten a takeover, and then sell their shares back to the company at a higher price. In addition to Benjamin Graham and Bill Ackman, Gramm’s cast of characters includes Warren Buffett, H. Ross Perot, Carl Icahn, and Daniel Loeb. There’s an entire chapter devoted to Karla Scherer’s efforts to wrestle control of her family’s company away from ex-husband Peter Fink in a proxy fight that resulted in Shearson Lehman Hutton’s purchase of R.P. Scherer for US$480 million in 1989. Famous 1980s-era raiders Michael Milken, Ron Perelman, and Nelson Peltz get mentions, as does lawyer Joe Flom.
The history of modern activism really gets going in the 1920s. Benjamin Graham was one of the first investors to employ activism as part of his investing strategy. And he came to the forefront by challenging an overcapitalized company to return cash to shareholders after using an analysis of the company’s fundamentals. In 1926, Graham, a securities investor, noticed a discrepancy in Northern Pipeline’s balance sheet. While the stock languished at $65 per share, the railroad actually generated more than $6 per share in annual earnings and owned investment securities worth $90 per share. Senior management members and representation from the Standard Oil system dominated the board, which benefited from a disinterested shareholder base. “I had treasure in my hands,” said the hedge fund pioneer. Graham in 1926 founded the first partnership that shorted securities and collected performance-based fees. After failing to convince management to pay out shareholders with a dividend, he ran a proxy fight for two seats on the board and eventually garnered the votes that led management to distribute cash to shareholders.
Graham (no relation to Gramm) is omnipresent throughout a narrative that explores how the meaning of the public company has shifted over the last century. The purpose of a public company is to benefit its shareholders. “This means management and the board of directors must harness the company’s assets to maximize investor returns,” writes Gramm. But in the early 20th century, the market for corporate bonds and preferred stocks dwarfed the market for common stocks. In the 1950s, the “proxyteers,” the original raiders, targeted public companies as part of a “counterrevolution to the inevitable excesses of the managerial revolution,” as one told Time in 1955. Proxyteers such as Robert Young bought large interests in public companies from holders who were liquidating their stakes — and then attacked management.
As Gramm demonstrates, the second wave of raiders in the 1980s woke up passive shareholders. Many corporate management teams owned little stock, and so had little interest in selling to maximize value for shareholders. Carl Icahn and his contemporaries set out to influence board behavior, despite the 1982 arrival of the poison pill – a legal device that let companies flood the market with new stock once hostile investors amassed significant stakes. Icahn called “legal trickery.” Ironically, it was Phillips Petroleum’s poison pill that angered passive shareholders and led Icahn to victory in his battle with the company in 1985. Icahn’s influence on the public company wasn’t high-minded. “If you really analyzed it, people like me are out to win, and winning is money,” he told New Yorker writer Ken Auletta.
Many corporate management teams owned little stock, and so had little interest in selling to maximize value for shareholders.
Gramm also offers a peek into how the press influences activist efforts. Reporters have long adored several swashbuckling Texans who took on corporate establishment. The Saturday Evening Post called Robert Young, who waged a proxy fight for C&O Railway in the 1940s, “The Daring Young Man of Wall Street.” Young had publicly released a series of vicious letters to Guaranty Trust, the trustee of $80 million in debt secured by Young’s C&O stock. Ross Perot was a darling of the media when he took on General Motors’s Roger Smith in the 1980s.
Warren Buffett was one of many raiders who used the press to his advantage. Gramm describes how in 1963 the man now known primarily for running Berkshire Hathaway moved in on American Express after he read a Wall Street Journal article in the wake of the so-called salad oil scandal: A tank at the Allied Crude Vegetable Oil Refining Corporation, one of the largest customers of American Express’s field warehousing subsidiary, was filled with water instead of oil. When American Express’ stock plummeted, Buffett bought an enormous position in the company and steered its future.
Buffett may have long since left the shareholder activism game. But as Gramm shows in this engaging book, many of the Oracle of Omaha’s value-seeking disciples continue to wage public battles against corporate management.

Hyal B5 Moisture Mask by LEEGEEHAAM is a very good example of a mask that promises hydration and replenishes skin’s moisture needs 105%. I love nearly alls of the sheet masks from this brand but the Hyal B5 one is my most beloved one. Use these in the 7-days masking method and you won’t recognize your skin afterwards.
A hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 based facial mask for deep and long lasting moisturizing.
As known as water tank, hyaluronic acid retains rich moisturizing deep inside the skin for a long lasting hydration, while vitamin B5 (panthenol) forms a strong moisture barrier on skin surface to prevent any moisture loss.
100% natural cellulose extracted from bamboo tree, PT cell provides an aoutstanding adherence to the skin for the optimal delivery of active ingredients.
After washing your face prepare the skin with toner. Unfold mask and apply evenly over the face. Leave for about 15~20 minutes then remove and discard. Gently pat down until residual essence is fully absorbed.
Hyal B5 Moisture Mask by LEEGEEHAAM is a holy grail item when it comes to the basic hydration and nourishing the skin with skin barrier restorative elements. It has everything you need in one pack and more. If you are looking for a sheet mask to deeply hydrate your skin, look no further.
The sheet of the Hyal B5 mask is very thin cupra and it has a protective backing for the ease of application. It is very absorbing and holds onto a lot of essence. The essence is ampoule like to the touch but is definitely more viscous than that. Once it is combined with that sheet the magic happens. My face is instantly cooled and calmed down within the first 5 minutes of wear and I love that feeling in the summer when the sun is high so are the temperature in a home lacking air conditioning.
The essence is translucent and has a slight fresh-floral scent to it. The fragrance is definitely not offensive to any noses as it is so light and airy. The fit and the adherence of this sheet mask are amazing. I almost forgotten how. good these mask are because I’ve been focusing on reviewing new interesting brands that I totally have forgotten my good old favorites. The wearing time for this sheet mask is about 25 minutes in the colder months on oily skin and drop to the max of 20 minutes in the summer months.
In terms of the results it instantly revitalizes my often tired skin and makes it look glorious. I am serious right now. It is smooth, soothed, shows little reddness and is so nice to the touch. There is no residue left on my skin whatsoever making this a great AM routine mask for those who want to rejuvenate their skin prior to wearing make-up. Overall, great, great, great! Get it in bulk when on sale on Yesstyle or Ebay. It suits all skin types and I am sure you will love it as much as I do. | 2019-04-25T21:45:33Z | http://www.mask-guru.com/hyal-b5-moisture-mask-by-leegeehaam/ |
When we decided to take the Charlotte Mason approach to homeschooling, copywork was a very new concept to me. To be honest, I was a bit put off by it because I considered it to be busy work. But, once I read more about it I understood that copywork is so much more than just busy work!! It teaches grammar, vocabulary, writing skills, history, geography. . . the possibilities are endless!
There is no shortage when looking for Charlotte Mason-style copywork. However, not all of it is created equal. One of my favorite copywork resources is Homeschool Copywork. We received a Lifetime Membership ($45 value) to the site in exchange for a review. There is also a yearly membership available for $29.95, and a free membership that gets you access to the free items on the site.
I could go on and on. There are presently 54 e-books available at Homeschool Copywork, and the majority are over 100 pages in length. Also, most are available with different lined options for all ages and stages of cursive and print.
While my oldest child leans toward textbooks, my 7th grader and my preschoolers are perfectly happy with the Charlotte Mason way of doing things. We use Ambleside Online curriculum, and therefore always need to find appropriate copywork resources. Julia and I love the Edwardian era- books, movies, you name it. So naturally, she started her part of the review period with Courage Always Rises: Quotes by Jane Austen. The e-book is a thoughtful collection of fifteen quotes presented in both print and cursive with regular lines. It’s recommended for ages 9 and up. The quotes range from a couple sentences to nearly a full page.
We also began the Van Gogh e-book to use for our artist study. This I used with all three of my CM kids. My 7th grader used the copywork pages and all three were able to “recreate” the works of art. We started on set one but there are THREE different sets with six photos included in each.
I absolutely love all the different styles and subjects available. Since we have a lifetime membership, I’ll be able to use it for years to come. YAY! | 2019-04-19T21:39:36Z | https://thoushallnotwhine.com/2016/04/charlotte-mason-homeschool-copywork/ |
This book is an overview of current state of the art about monitoring of inundation events through remote sensing. A complete approach to efficient and precise flood monitoring requires multiple fields of expertise, from image processing to hydrologic monitoring. This volume details the latest remote sensing techniques for flood monitoring and mapping, including use of optical data from geostationary sensors and LEO spacecraft, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data analysis, and data fusion. Detailed case studies from a variety of subject experts illustrate these tools and techniques.
Accurate monitoring of flood events is increasingly necessary to gain insight about both causes and remedies. Floods are one of the most destructive hazards to the human populations, they can occur practically everywhere on the Earth surface, and each year cause considerable harm and damage to infrastructures. The recent Flood directive in European Countries is contributing to a more quantitative approach to flood hazard and risk evaluation.
Alberto Refice is a Researcher at CNR-ISSIA (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche - Istituto di Studi sui Sistemi Intelligenti per l'Automazione), in Bari, Italy.

Be Real. Be Human. Be YOU.
In this episode, Angela and I dive deep into unlocking the potential of your mind and relieving the burden many of us feel on a day to day basis.
The set of beliefs and programs buried in our subconscious that run the show and force us to feel as though we are at war with ourselves.
And finally that it's really about tapping into what your current set of beliefs are and then creating enough change to have a big enough impact that you grow and become stronger!
