Looking to replace or resurface your current deck? Consider Dec Tec.
We are one of the only contractors in the Hampton Roads area certified DecTec installers.
What is Dec Tec? Dec-Tec is a waterproofing and roofing solution used for outdoor areas such as decks, balconies and areas with a living space underneath.
PVC decks are the ultimate in tech decking and are a modern alternative to traditional decking. They eliminate the need for staining and re-staining and just all of the upkeep you have with a traditional wood deck.
Is it a roof or is it a deck? Well, it's both. It serves a dual purpose.
It's a really thick membrane that is designed to be installed in areas which are high traffic. Typically we install it on a lot of decks where people want to have an outdoor living space.
It is also great for an outdoor space that has a outdoor space underneath it since it protects the living space underneath.
Water intrusion problems on deck areas are a thing of the past!
It's a great solution for beach homes that have balconies or other surfaces that get pummeled with sand & water. With the application of DecTec, sand and water cannot get in, which means your deck lasts much longer.
Dec Tec itself has a 20 year life-span.
For homeowners looking for a “floor-like” appearance for a low-maintenance deck, vinyl covering may be the answer. PVC decks are slip-resistant, mildew-resistant and waterproof. The vinyl membranes are installed over wood or concrete, which significantly cuts down on deck maintenance because there’s no visible wood to paint or stain each year. They withstand normal pedestrian traffic and require little more than the occasional spray with a garden hose to keep them looking new.
Apartments, Condo's and Hotels love DecTec for their stairs, balconies and outdoor spaces.
DecTec Decks - The Modern Deck Alternative. Low Maintenance. Waterproof.
A DecTec walkable surface looks good, is slip resistant and mildew resistant.
Sand and Water can't get in through DecTec.

Masking and selection are amongst the most common – and most tedious – tasks that designers perform when compositing imagery. To minimize that pain, and add precious time to the production clock, all PixelSquid PSD files include Selection Areas – special layers that let you make quick and accurate selections with a simple click.
PixelSquid PSD files include two special Selection Layers – Select by Part, and Select by Material. Each of these layers contains a patchwork of solid colors, each unique color corresponding to a specific area of the image. Used in conjunction with the Photoshop Magic Wand Tool, these layers make masking and selection a breeze.
This Layer associates a unique color to every individual bit of the physical items that comprise the scene. Generally if it’s something you could separate from the object or scene, it will be selectable with the Magic Wand Tool using this layer.
This layer assigns unique colors to specific materials in the image. For example, you may want to simply pick “all the brass”, or “just the copper” in an image. You can then make universal changes to a given material without needing to find and hand select every instance.
Tolerance: Usually 1, though in some cases scaling and rotation may introduce a small amount of noise to the Select by layers, in which case you may want to increase this a little to get a clean selection.
PixelSquid Area Selection are created with no anti-aliasing so that you can perfectly combine selections of adjacent areas by shift-clicking with the Magic Wand tool. Using these selections is usually fine, with no aliasing visible, but if you do wish to have anti-aliased selections, simply use Photoshop’s mask refinement tools to smooth layer masks as needed.
Adjust the Smooth slider. Values from 4 to 16 are usually sufficient. | 2019-04-19T04:26:22Z | https://learn.pixelsquid.com/selection-and-masking/ |

Understanding’ As A Vital Key to Relishing Marital Harmony!
Home Christian Marriage Happy Marriage Love and Marriage Marriage Marriage Advice Marriage Tips Pastor Faith Oyedepo Understanding’ As A Vital Key to Relishing Marital Harmony!
‘Understanding’ as a vital key to relishing marital harmony. It means being able to comprehend your spouse’s behavior; being aware of his or her feelings; tolerant and forgiving. It can also mean a friendly and harmonious living.
For every relationship to stride above difficulties, there must be adequate understanding between spouses. The Bible says: “And with all thy getting get understanding” Proverbs 4:7.
Many have great marriage plans but lack understanding of themselves or their partners and so they disagree. Until you are in harmony with yourself, you can never enjoy marital harmony. How much of yourself do you understand? If you don’t have a good understanding of yourself, there is no way harmony can be your portion in marriage.
Another aspect you must get understanding is in the area of male and female difference. It is important for male and female to understand and appreciate the peculiarities, which make your personalities. For instance, women enjoy: Companionship, Responsibility, Affection, Compliment and Compassion; while men enjoy: Respect (person/people/assignment), Presentable wife, Appreciation and Good food. Without an understanding of this, you might be laboring in futility.
You must understand what marriage is and what marriage is not. There are several people who are married, who lacks the understanding of what marriage is all about. There are others who are not married, they want to get married but lack the understanding of what marriage is all about.
What then is marriage? It is a union of a man and a woman in an exclusive, God-ordained, lifetime relationship. If you have this understanding no matter the challenge you face in your marriage you know that you and God are up to it. Marriage is a perfect union with imperfect practitioners. If you have an understanding of this, it will help you to enjoy harmony in your marriage.
A wise man once said, “because God is the author of marriage, there is nothing you can add to it, all you need is to believe it and practice it”; and as you practice it, it will begin to work for you. It is a perfect union, God makes no mistakes, but the practitioners are imperfect. This will help you to walk with your spouse in marriage to enjoy harmony.
Marriage is not just a means of getting what you desire, it is a means of meeting the needs of your spouse in marriage. It is God’s mystery for earthly dominion. “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Gen 1:28. One will chase a thousand, and two will not just put thousand to flight but ten thousand. That’s God’s mystery for earthly dominion! So, when you get into marriage, you have a potential of minimum being ten times over better in all areas of your life. That shall become your testimony!
Marriage is not the source of joy and contentment, God is! If you walk together with God in your family, He will begin to unfold to you via His Word and begins to manifest Himself in your home. I see God beginning to manifest Himself in your home much more than ever before.
Your understanding of your spouse: For you to have harmony in your home, you need to understand your wife or your husband. You must get to know that everything about God is unique.
There are no two people on planet earth that are the same exactly.
You are unique and peculiar; so is your spouse and children.
You are not a carbon-copy of anyone, you are original and so is your spouse. You must understand your spouse’s background if you must enjoy marital harmony.
Understand his or her background, likes and dislikes, what makes him or her happy and what affects his or her mood.
1. You must be sensitive. Never you walk around with your eyes closed. Your mind is sound; be sensitive.
2. Communicate effectively. Communication is the life-blood of any relationship. Learn to communicate effectively with your spouse and when you know how to do this, it will help you to understand who your spouse is. You need to ask questions. The disciples of Jesus were around Him, they didn’t only listen to His teachings, whatever they didn’t understand they always asked and Jesus never told them shut up, He always answer their questions. So, rather than assuming that you understand, ask questions.
Communicate so you can have a better understanding and when communication is effective, you are laying a solid foundation for marital harmony. Understanding is what is required to have an outstanding marriage. | 2019-04-24T20:29:54Z | http://www.pridesibiya.com/2018/07/understanding-as-vital-key-to-relishing.html |
The indie scene can sometimes feel like a hostile, competitive community full of gate-keeping hipsters brandishing first pressings of The Cure's early work. If you like indie music, some jerk at a party has probably asked you if you even listen to the band on your T-shirt, or explained that their new stuff is fine, but have you heard Father John Misty's first album?
And frankly, that's not what music is about; it's about finding songs you love and connect to, and listening to them however you want. It's not a contest to see who can "discover" an artist first or generate the most hot takes on Twitter about Pitchfork's misgivings. You should never have to justify your love for an artist with an extensive knowledge of their catalog.
But if you're unlucky, as many of us are, and a guy in a Joy Division T-shirt ever corners you and asks if you've heard of Sufjan Stevens, these songs will give you some ammunition. And besides that, they rock.
This playlist not only includes under-appreciated songs from indie faves like Wilco and Neutral Milk Hotel, but projects from artists you may know by different names. There's Rostam, former member of Vampire Weekend, and J. Tillman, otherwise known as the notorious Father John Misty himself. There's The Last Shadow Puppets, a side project of Arctic Monkeys' front man Alex Turner, and even an early song from Jack Antonoff's (former member of fun. and current Bleachers front man) first band, Steel Train. | 2019-04-25T15:02:32Z | https://www.dailygamecock.com/article/2019/02/playlist-secret-bops |

As we enter the countdown to next week’s IMF Annual Meetings in Washington DC, I’m further reminded of how we can support greater integration with, and capital flows to, developing economies.
The aim? To help build marketplaces that support economic and social development.
Next week, I’ll be joining a panel of the world’s leading ministers of finance – from Italy and Nigeria to Mexico and Saudi Arabia – and representatives from the Agence UMOA-Titres and the World Bank.
This is a fantastic chance to discuss the future structure of the sukuk market, how institutional investors can better access the asset class, and how to increase uptake among investors.
The market in Islamic sharia-compliant bonds – or ‘sukuk’ – has mushroomed over the past decade. At the end of last year there was around USD 350bn of sukuk outstanding, more than half issued by Malaysian issuers.
In 2016 and 2017, we at Euroclear, saw two large Saudi Arabian issuances totaling USD 26.5bn. A pure standard Eurobond (USD 17.5bn) and an international sukuk issuance (USD 9bn).
Interestingly, four-fifths of the sukuks held in the Euroclear system are in Eurobond form and investor interest in what are fully collateralised instruments goes well beyond the traditional issuance regions of the Middle East and South East Asia.
For example, over 35% of the USD 9bn international sukuk issuance above went to Europe and the United States.
Sukuk issuance picked up strongly in the first half of this year. But events over the summer have highlighted the pressing need for more standardisation in this market after an issuer declared its own issue unlawful.
It is not for me to comment on the rights and wrongs of this case. But it does underline the desirability of consistent, global standards – in structuring, documentation, regulation, accounting and reporting.
The need for more standardisation is widely recognised. Malaysia must be applauded for establishing a centralised national sharia board. It is also pushing for global standards and monitoring.
The Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), a Bahreini organisation in existence since 1991, has been instrumental in establishing a host of standards across the industry. It recently issued exposure drafts on central sharia boards and accounting.
At Euroclear, we too are playing our part. We have been working on harmonising the different accounting and reporting standards in this area. I firmly believe that the widespread adoption of a sharia-compliant reporting standard will go a long way towards improving the efficiency of this market.
This is something that should concern not just investors, but issuers too.
Over the last few years the Euroclear team has worked with the International Islamic Financial Market to build a solution that helps financial institutions create liquidity and manage risk.
The solution aligns with the Master Collateralized Murabaha (MCM) agreement to offer users a choice between a bilateral and triparty model.
They both work to secure the exposure of a lender with securities from a borrower in the form of a pledge. And, most importantly, they are both Sharia compliant.
Another big development of recent years has been the emergence of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) based on sukuk indices.
These make life easy for investors by reducing investor access issues and boosting liquidity. They are traded on leading exchanges with the post-trade work taken care of by Euroclear or local CSDs.
But, by and large, the indices on which the Sharia ETFs are based are made up of internationally issued, dollar-denominated sukuk.
That leaves domestic, local currency sukuk, which make up about a fifth of the market, out in the cold. This opens up the possibility of a two-tier market.
Harmonisation and standardisation are vital ingredients for any international market. That is especially true of such complex instruments as sukuk, and we will go on working towards unified reporting standards.
So, is now the time for the sukuk market to blossom? | 2019-04-22T00:13:26Z | https://www.euroclear.com/newsandinsights/en/Format/Blogs/StephanPouyat/SukukMarketNeedsMoreHarmonisation.html |

We might think of strict ground as moving us down in the explanatory hierarchy. ...Weak ground, on the other hand, may also move us sideways in the explanatory hierarchy.
This seems to me rather illuminating. For example, is the covering law account of explanation a 'sideways' move in explanation. Are inductive generalities mere 'sideways' accounts. Both fail to dig deeper. | 2019-04-24T03:49:03Z | http://philosophyideas.com/search/response_philosopher_detail.asp?era_no=A&era=Fine,K&id=17285&PN=3081&order=alpha |
Back HIV/AIDS HIV/AIDS Topics HIV Disease Progression EACS 2015: Does Low-level HIV Viral Load Raise the Risk of Disease Progression and Comorbidities?
It is well known that effective combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) that suppresses HIV replication dramatically reduces disease progression and improves survival. Recent findings from the large START trial showed that people who initiate treatment soon after diagnosis had a lower risk of both AIDS-related illnesses and non-AIDS events and death compared to those who waited until their CD4 T-cell count fell.
A small proportion of people with HIV have persistently detectable but low viral load despite treatment, and the effects of low-level viremia are not fully understood. Even a low level of ongoing viral replication can lead to increased immune activation and inflammation, which may contribute to non-AIDS comorbidities such as heart disease and cancer. However, large observational studies (including the Dutch ATHENA cohort and the ART Cohort Collaboration) previously have not seen an association between low-level virus and increased risk of AIDS, non-AIDS illness, or death.
Andrea Antinori and fellow investigators with the ICONA Foundation Study Cohort estimated 3-month incidence of AIDS-related events, severe non-AIDS events, or death among people with current low-level viremia compared to those with viral loads below 50 copies/mL.
The analysis included 7277 participants in the Italian ICONA cohort who had at least 1 person-year follow-up spent with a viral load in the range of 0 to 1000 copies/mL at least 6 months after starting first-line combination ART. Three-quarters were men, most were white, the median age was 37 years, and 18% were coinfected with hepatitis C. The median CD4 count at ART initiation was approximately 300 cells/mm3 and 13% had been diagnosed with AIDS. The most common ART regimen was efavirenz (Sustiva) plus tenofovir/emtricitabine (the drugs in Truvada), but a wide range of other drugs were also used.
They compared 2 composite endpoints across the viral load groups: AIDS or death due to any cause, and serious non-AIDS events according to the definition used in the SMART study (major cardiovascular, kidney, or liver disease) and death due to any cause, over the course of 3 months.
204 AIDS-related events or deaths occurred during 28,429 person-years of follow-up.
Incidence rates of AIDS-related events or death were 0.52, 1.25, 1.91, and 1.06 per 100 person-years for participants with viral loads of 0-50, 51-200, 201-500, and 500-1000 copies/mL, respectively.
The adjusted risk of AIDS-related events or death was 1.74 (74% increase), 2.30 (more than double the risk), and 1.30 (30% increase) for people with 51-200, 201-500, and 500-1000 copies/mL, respectively, compared to those with 0-50 copies/mL; these differences were statistically significant for the 51-200 and 201-500 groups, but not for the 500-1000 group.
438 serious non-AIDS events or deaths occurred during follow-up.
Incidence rates of serious non-AIDS events or death were 1.46, 1.77, 1.69, and 2.56 for the respective viral load groups.
The adjusted risk of serious non-AIDS events or death was 1.09 (little change), 1.00 (no difference), and 1.54 (54% increase) for people with 51-200, 201-500, and 500-1000 copies/mL, respectively, none of which were statistically significant.
"Low-level viremia, in the range of 51-500 copies/mL, was associated with an independent risk of developing a new AIDS diagnosis, which was up to 2.3 fold higher than that observed in the presence of suppressed viral load," the researchers concluded. "Conversely, low-level viremia did seem to predict a more elevated risk of serious non-AIDS events."
They noted, however, that the viral load categories in this study were based on current levels and could not account for sustained periods of low-level viral replication. Occasional viral "blips" are not uncommon during treatment, but persistent viremia is a greater concern. They also said the short (3-month) follow-up period may have underestimated long-term effects on clinical endpoints.
These results, they added, "may be useful to plan analyses aimed at better defining threshold of virological failure valid for clinical purposes and to eventually optimize treatment strategies."
In the second study, Silvia Costarelli from San Gerardo Hospital in Monza, Italy, and colleagues with the Italian MASTER Cohort looked at the association between persistent low-level viremia (HIV RNA between 50 and 400 copies/mL) and increased risk of cardiovascular disease events.
This analysis included 4393 people who achieved viral load below 50 copies/mL for at least 6 months after ART initiation. About 70% were men, most were Italian, and the median age at ART initiation was approximately 40 years. They had relatively advanced HIV disease, with a median CD4 count below 300 cells/mm3. Underlying cardiovascular risk was generally low, with only about 1% having prior cardiovascular events.
A majority of 3576 patients maintained full viral suppression, but 574 experienced treatment failure with viral rebound to >400 copies/mL and 243 had persistent low-level viremia on 2 consecutive tests.
During follow up there were 45 cardiovascular events, 57 AIDS events, and 93 deaths among people with ongoing viral suppression; 18, 53, and 37, respectively, among people with viral rebound, and 6, 5, and 4, respectively, among people with persistent low-level viremia.
The researchers considered 2 composite endpoints: first cardiovascular event, AIDS-related event, or death; and first cardiovascular event or death, ignoring AIDS.
For the first endpoint, unadjusted incidence rates were 11.7, 21.6, and 9.3 per 1000 person years, respectively, for people with full viral suppression, viral rebound, and persistent low-level viremia. For the second endpoint, incidence rates were 8.6, 11.6, and 9.0, respectively. That is, the risk of adverse outcomes was greater -- nearly 2-fold higher -- for people with viral rebound when AIDS was considered, but not when considering only cardiovascular events or death.
In a multivariate analysis, patients with viral rebound had a significantly higher risk for both the first and second endpoints compared to people with ongoing viral suppression (hazard ratio 2.15 and 1.5, respectively). However, persistent low-level viremia was not associated with significantly different hazard rates.
"Our results suggest that persistent low-level viremia does not influence cardiovascular disease," the investigators concluded. "Moreover, in our setting, persistent low-level viremia does not even influence AIDS or death.
In summary, incidence of cardiovascular events, AIDS, and death were similar for people with ongoing viral suppression and those with persistent low-level viremia in the MASTER study, suggesting that low-level viral load does not increase the risk of either AIDS or non-AIDS events. This conflicts with the ICONA findings, which did see a higher risk of AIDS among people with low but detectable viral load.

The following is an adaptation of remarks I delivered at ICWA’s semi-annual gala on June 2 at the Cosmos Club, Washington, DC.
On March 6, a colossal head of an ancient pharaoh was uncovered in a 10-meter deep pit in the city of Matariya, an hour north of Cairo. The excavators wrapped it for protection overnight in a Spiderman blanket, probably the first thing they saw lying around. It was a gift to Egyptian jokers and meme-makers on social media. Such is Egypt in 2017, where the ancient and modern collide on a daily basis. The pharaonic past is inescapable, unearthed in this instance as civil engineers were plotting a new shopping arcade.
I presented a version of this paper in February at “Framing War and Conflict in Comics,” the second annual Symposium on Arab Comics at the American University of Beirut.
“We had a very big problem when we had published that caricature,” Shahira Khalil, the chief editor of Samir tells me at her office at the state publishing house Dar Al-Hilal, in a grand, century-old building. “Some people, they told us, ‘You are politicizing children.’” Liberal parents were angry that the magazine was glorifying the junta leader. The “radical Muslims,” as Khalil calls the ousted and now illegal Muslim Brotherhood, were likewise upset that the leader who oversaw a massacre was being lionized. Even the mainstream media, which was categorically pro-Sisi, was not sure what to make of the cover at a time when caricatures of the former general were rare.
“Cairo writes, Beirut publishes, and Baghdad reads,” goes the adage. At the Cairo International Book Fair, where hundreds of publishers and thousands of readers gather each winter, everybody writes, publishes, and reads.
While the sclerotic institutions of state-funded culture remain conservative forces with an outsized role in Egyptian letters, independent publishers continue to push the limits and introduce new voices from within and without the Arab region. At the fair, you can find the latest catalogues of free presses from across the Arab and Muslim world, periodicals from a century ago, or quirky delights like contemporary children’s books from Syria or Yemen—that is, if you can find your way around the colossal fairgrounds. Since there is no map or guide—at least not one that’s of any use—let me give you a tour. | 2019-04-22T13:20:21Z | https://www.icwa.org/author/jguyer/ |

Not all your mirroring has to use the same parts of the body, just as your symbolic mirroring does not necessarily use exactly the same words. For example, NLP teaches that you can make a motion such as finger taps that match the rhythm of the breath, rather than breathing to the breath timing yourself. This is called an exchanged match. You are exchanging body parts, but matching the rhythm or other mirroring aspect.
If you are a man and you’re matching a woman in front of you, avoid looking at her breasts, trying to figure out her breathing pattern! You will get caught, and using the excuse, “I was trying to match your breathing.” will not work in this case. Look at her shoulders instead; those tiny movements up and down will give you a hint on the breathing pattern she is using, and by applying exchanged matching you can move your leg or hand up and down accordingly.
You will be surprised to find out that in such a case of exchanged matching a breathing pattern, if you increase the speed of your matched movement, their breathing becomes faster! And if you slow it down, their breathing also becomes deeper and slower. | 2019-04-24T17:51:40Z | http://nlpnotes.com/exchanged-matches/ |

Daily On My Way to Heaven: 2015: Live Looking Up!
2015 is here and I am ready to live fully under God's sun and by His grace.
In whatever state, in whatever place, into whatever condition we may be brought this year — let us seek grace to follow our Lord's loving advice, and "look up!"
Do not look back — as Lot's wife did.
But "look up!" Look up to God — He is your Father, your Friend, your Savior. He can help you. He will help you. He says, "Look unto Me, and be delivered — for I am God!"
Look up for strength to enable you to do and suffer God's will — and His strength will be made perfect in your weakness.
Look up constantly — let nothing daunt or discourage you! Rather say, "Our eyes are on the Lord our God — until He shows us mercy."
It is impossible to say what will happen to us, or what will be required of us this year — but "Look up!" This direction, if properly attended to, will . . .
Fellow-Christian, are you fearful? "Look up" and hear Jesus saying to you, "Do not be afraid — I Myself will help you!"
Are you discouraged? "Look up" — and your youth shall be renewed like the eagle's, and fresh light, comfort, and courage shall be given to you!
Are you desponding? "Look up" for Jesus never breaks the bruised reed, nor quenches the smoking flax.
Do not look too much at your sin — but look at the infinitely meritorious blood of God's dear Son!
Do not look too much at self — but look at Jesus, who ever lives to make intercession for you in Heaven.
Look up in every trial, saying "I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help: my help comes from the Lord, who made Heaven and earth!"
Run looking, work looking, fight looking, suffer looking, live looking, and die looking — to Jesus, who is at God's right hand in glory. | 2019-04-26T03:40:04Z | http://www.beckypliego.com/2015/01/2015-live-looking-up.html |

It struck me as I was trampling along the Domino Trail yesterday that our budgeteers are actually making communism look attractive. But the fertile ideas spreading here had more to do with hiking business than political persuasion.
Yes, I am pleased to announce that friendies who are occasional readers of this blog have come under the sphere of influence. They are becoming walkers. Not in a Walking Dead kinda way…though it is true that they did appear dead tired after our 13km outing, which they courageously tackled hung-over.
Once a month, Anne and Alana are joining me for a Sunday walk. This time it was Anne’s turn to nominate the destination. I admit I was at first dubious (or maybe righteous?) about a walk to a pub. Does it count as an authentic outdoor experience?
In the case of the Domino Trail the only answer is “bloody oath”.
We left behind decrepit trains as we departed from the former Trentham station, shrouded in eerie fog. Our intended journey was along the old rail trail to Lyonville, part of the original railway from Daylesford to Carlsruhe. Now it is basically a flat and dead straight 6km (one-way) compacted earth and gravel track though the Wombat forest to the centre of the universe.
There are two optional loop tracks to take along the way, which have lighter coloured owl markers than the dark green ones positioned along the main track. We exited onto one of these circuits and then went off the rails. I must have been too focussed taking pics to notice when we needed to loop back to the main track.
Instead we found ourselves scrambling along a fire-track (possibly Blyth Road) then uncertainly edging our heads out of the bush at the opposite end of Lyonville. Luckily, the township was vaguely familiar to me so it was easy enough to find our lunching place.
The first time friends took me to the Radio Springs Hotel it felt like being transported into another enchanting time. There is something homely and yet also other-wordly about this venue that magically pops up to greet you at the end of the trail (well, if you don’t end up deviating like we did).
The food was hearty and good. Anne delved into the mushroom pasta but there was an even more spectacular fungus frenzy going on outside. We couldn’t tell the hallucinogens from the fairy houses. But my companions were onto it anyway, finding fungus with ferocity akin to the Hobart airport sniffer dog who once nabbed my mate with her quarantine breaking banana.
Signs marking the kilometres back to Trentham help make this a good family walk where you can respond to those ‘Are we there yet?” questions with some semblance of credibility.
Because we’d missed two-thirds of the trail proper, the return journey held novelty value rather than just being a repeat. The old rail bridge and information signage were interesting points at which to pause and observe.
It wasn’t countries that had fallen like dominoes here – it was the trees. A royal commission into logging in the 1890s halted activity for a time before the demands of the 20th century put the area under pressure again. The Wombat State Forest is now community managed sustainable forest. I doubt that’s a euphemism for communism – more likely a weasel words justification to log. I really don’t know enough about the context, other than a good outing discovering the biodiversity of this spot leads me to hope that logging history doesn’t repeat itself.

The first Grand Prix of the Atlantic Tour 2015 (Csi**) took place this sunday. Jumped over a course of 1.45m, the class was won by Marc Bettinger and his ride Bacardi. The German finished the jump-off with the outstanding time of 34′ 25, almost three seconds less than the next rider. Laura Renwick and her horse, Heliodor Hybris, finished in second place. Italian rider Bruno Chimirri finished third on Luca. None of the Portuguese riders made it to the jump-off this time.
The first Vilamoura Atlantic Tour Grand Prix offered 24,500 € in prize money and riders had the chance to gain valuable FEI world ranking points.
British riders had a successful week thanks to Laura Renwick, Nicole Pavitt and Sammie Jo Coffin, summing up victories and placings both in big classes and young horse classes.
Athletes and horses will have a day off from competition on monday before getting ready for the young horse classes on tuesday the 24th.
The Vilamoura Atlantic Tour features another 5 weeks of high level international show-jumping and is hosted by the impressive Centro Hípico de Vilamoura, managed by António Moura. | 2019-04-19T00:23:42Z | http://www.dothorse.it/blog/11431558/vilamoura-atlantic-tour-bettinger-wins-grand-prix/ |
4. reaching out to the culture in our worship to ... having our worship shaped by the culture.
Holy affections are not heat without light, but invariably arise from some information conveyed to the understanding. The child of God is graciously affected, because he sees and understands something more of divine things than he did before-something more of God, of Christ, and of the glorious things exhibited in the gospel (Jonathan Edwards, A Treatise on Religious Affections (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Baker), p. 192).
A well dressed gentleman steps up to the counter at McDonald's stating, "I'd like to partake of the Lord's Supper." "You wanna. what?" "I'd like to be served communion, please." "I don't see a picture of communion on my cash register. What does it look like?" "Bread and wine." "I'm sorry sir, we are not licensed to sell alcohol." "OK, bread and grape juice." "We don't have them on the menu either. How about a nice bun and a coke?" "Well, I guess that will have to do but be sure to fence the table, give me a few minutes to silently confess sin, bless the bread and the cup, and offer a closing prayer. And, oh yes, I think we should all sing the Doxology." "I'm sorry sir, but this is a fast food restaurant. We don't have time for all that. You'll need to speak with our manager."
The words that the well-dressed gentleman said were not crazy It was the situation in which the words were spoken that made them sound that way. In this brief conversation we are able to identify how cross purposes, different rules of conduct, diverse goals and underlying assumptions, which resulted from trying to mix the social structures of religion and business, defeated the gentleman's intentions. It is the same in the entertainment world as it is in the business world. One can run into trouble when mixing religion with entertainment. When people are viewed as fans, then pleasing the audience becomes the primary purpose, even if what pleases an audience isn't necessarily good for their moral well being. The atmosphere and rules of conduct are distinctly different between religion and entertainment. The Bible states in Isaiah 6, ". . . I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!'" Here is the reverential, austere atmosphere in worship which is befitting the infinite, holy, Creator of the universe by his finite created beings. This conduct is distinctly different from the relaxed, informal conduct at a rock concert. The rules of conduct in the entertainment context affect the atmosphere of the situation and vice versa. The orientation of religion around the Scripture and substance differs from the orientation of entertainment around image and style. Word orientation affects the style by which it is presented. In a word oriented structure, abstract, analytical thinking is involved requiring a slow, contemplative style. In a visual oriented structure, such as entertainment, minimal thinking skills are required thus demanding a fast-paced, upbeat style. Content is shaped by the attention span of the audience and is largely aimed at emotional gratification. Again, it becomes apparent how confusion and frustration of purpose occur if the social structures of religion and entertainment are mixed. if each social structure defines its terms according to its underlying assumptions, it is important to consider carefully how each context interprets and views people, leadership, purpose, atmosphere, style, results, demands, authority, orientation, realm, rules of conduct, tools and goals. The chart I have included will hopefully clarify this. When reading the chart ask questions such as: When the pastor's role is defined as a CEO, how does the business social structure define people? Is that how Scripture defines people and their needs? How does a business mentality define its purpose? Can a church really see its purpose as selling a product without altering its goal? When seeking to establish a spiritual kingdom, what tools has Scripture said should be used? When feelings and likes become the authority in religion, into which social structure have we transferred the church? Has man become the standard setter or God and his Word? A thoughtful survey of this chart should cause a reassessment of our ideas and actions when discussing the church and her practices in worship.
Perhaps some of the confusion in the worship wars would be lessened if careful consideration were given to the subversion of purpose that can take place when the underlying assumptions of various social structures are mixed. When churches begin to look at the congregation as consumers and the programs of the church as products, when worship services begin to resemble a well-staged Broadway show, then maybe, just maybe the church has taken a few steps into the wrong social structure. Is the church defeating herself by fraternizing with the enemy-by being on the wrong battlefield?

Cancer therapies that specifically target the genetic alterations associated with subsets of advanced cancers have shown impressive success in the clinic. Examples include ABL inhibitors for chronic myelogenous leukemia, RAF inhibitors for BRAF mutant melanomas, EGFR inhibitors for EGFR mutant lung cancers, and HER2 inhibitors for HER2 amplified breast cancers. In each of these cancer paradigms, the treatments are often highly effective, leading to remarkable remissions that have a profound beneficial impact on patients. These successes have changed the landscape of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer for the foreseeable future. | 2019-04-22T13:03:08Z | https://www.wgfrf.org/newsletters/2014/3/1/resistance-mechanisms |
Our Ko Am Mu-Do curriculum is a scientifically and anecdotally proven program designed to increase a child’s self-confidence, esteem, focus, concentration, discipline, body coordination, and of course, ability for self-defense. Through strict goal-setting and hard-earned accomplishments, children become more self-confident, and, in turn, their self-esteem also gets a tremendous boost. We also use Positive Reinforcement to instill a sense of resposibility and discipline. Such benefits have irrefutably been shown to lead to greater focus and effort in school and better grades. These results are seen not only in school, but also at the home. Our students, who are taught to control their emotions and impulses, behave better at home, are more disciplined in homework and household chores, and become more amiable brothers and sisters. Overall, they grow tremendously as individuals because they progress at their own pace and not in comparison to others. Every one of our martial arts students is a winner, not a “bench sitter”.
In addition to stressing the core tenets of martial arts – focus, concentration, and discipline – our children’s martial arts curriculum encompasses kicking and punching techniques, body blocks, and grappling combinations, all of which improves reaction, balance, coordination and control.
The teenage years, for many, was and is the most important period in their lives. It is the fork in the road of life and taking the right path is crucial. Our Ko Am Mu-Do martial arts classes not only teach adolescents self-defense, but also gives them the opportunity to “burn off” excess emotional energy that could potentially evolve into antisocial behavior at school and at home.
Under supervision of the Grandmaster and Masters, our adolescents are given opportunities to act as leaders through class instruction and mentoring of younger students. Our Grandmaster, as well as our masters and instructors, serve as life-long mentors promoting and espousing morals and philosophies derived from Oriental and Confucian cultures. The tenets we emphasize for our adolescent students include modesty, respect, hard work, community service, leadership, and stoicism.
Our adolescent martial arts students, equipped with the essential characteristics to help them avoid bad situations, are better able to stay out of trouble and to become leaders of society. During these very important years of your child’s life, every part of their body, mind, and spirit is growing. Give them the structure and foundation with which they can navigate toward the right path.
The human body continually develops and maintains a balance of 4 channels of chi energy, which circulate throughout. Along these lines of circulation are 365 vital chi points, also known as pressure points. Our Ko Am Mu-Do system has integrated these chi points into our martial arts curriculum to develop, in essence, the most effective self-defense program in the world.

As you may have heard, the Obama administration announced yesterday that a key component of the Affordable Care Act -- a rule that penalizes some employers for not offering health coverage -- has been delayed until 2015.
You can read the Department of the Treasury's announcement here and the White House's announcement here.
Put simply: The law requires businesses with more than 50 full-time employees to offer a minimum level of coverage or face a penalty -- which means insurers and employers must report who is insured and at what level of coverage. Needless to say, that is a complex undertaking. The business community said they just weren't ready.
Timothy Jost at the Health Affairs blog has done a wonderful job breaking this down. He raises a number of great questions, which we hope the administration will answer soon. Stay tuned!
mental health can affect many areas of our life. Mental health is just as important to our lives as our physical health.
Thirdly, you must remember that you should treat your body with fresh food substances instead of going for the processed and ready made ones. Consider it as a bar of standard, the fresher and more organic food, you eat, the more benefits you gain and if you go for packaged and tinned foods to which many chemicals have been added then you are going down the line to destructive health. So, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables and go for beans, nuts and lentils instead of opting for boxed cereals and microwave meals. | 2019-04-26T00:33:46Z | http://blog.wellnesscorporatesolutions.com/2013/07/health-care-employer-mandate-delayed.html?showComment=1374042678107 |
In this book, first published in 1975, the author examines the role of women in the workforce. Despite representing a rapidly increasing section of the workforce, why are women still overwhelmingly confined to unskilled jobs? Why do they hold such a tiny proportion of managerial and professional posts? In answering these vital questions Ross Davies shows how women’s economic roles in pre-industrial society were modified and distorted by industrialisation; how this legacy of exploitation has affected contemporary attitudes among both men and women; and how the present situation should be seen and assessed in its proper perspective. | 2019-04-18T16:46:10Z | http://www.rossdavies.net/book/women-and-work/ |

Memories can come up anytime. It’s not always coming during the rainy or cloudy days. It can also come during the bright and sunny days. Especially, those memories of special moments we spent with special people. Some people say that time heals, and even the most painful memories will eventually fade away. While some other say that as time passes by, we’re just getting used to live with it, therefore the most painful memories will be less painful afterwards. One or the other way around, whatever it is, I believe that as time goes by, we can take a look back and smile at those memories, even the most painful ones. And when that time comes, we will feel the kind of indescribable heartwarming feeling.
Korean classic hit titled “A Beautiful Day (푸르른 날)” is our today’s song for Moments Of Our Lives. The folk ballad song was first released in 1983 by the legendary Korean singer-songwriter, Song Chang Sik. It was written by Song with Seo Jeong Joo’s poem. Song gained public recognition with this song along with the album. “A Beautiful Day (푸르른 날)” was considered to raise Korean music’s artistic value. The English translation of the song’s title is also known as “Azure Day”.
Time is a majestic and magical thing. It can turn even the most painful moment into a smile, in one beautiful day, when the memory suddenly comes up to mind. The lyrics of “A Beautiful Day (푸르른 날)”, though very short and simple, have a deep meaning about a beautiful day to remember. Though it’s a sad lyrics about reminiscing the past during a bright day, somehow it brings a heartwarming feeling. “On a beautiful day where the blue sky shines upon me, I’ll think of someone that I’m longing for. At this place where the autumn falls with flowers, and the green leaves are turning their colors. What should I do if it snows? What should I do if the spring comes again? How would it be if I die and you live? How would it be if you die and I live?” Time is moving forward, and season keeps coming, taking place after one another. It’s alright to have many wonders, but don’t let yourself be burdened by it, because nothing lasts forever.
Im Tae Kyung performed "A Beautiful Day" on episode 35 of "Immortal Songs 2"
Sweet Sorrow performed "A Beautiful Day" on episode 174 of "Immortal Songs 2"
Up to this date, “A Beautiful Day (푸르른 날)” had been performed twice on the South Korea’s entertainment music program, “Immortal Songs 2: Singing the Legend”. The first one was during the first part of two-episodes Song Chang Sik special, when it was performed by Im Tae Kyung. The episode 35 was broadcasted by KBS television station on January 28th 2012 and by KBS World channel on February 18th 2012. Almost three years later, “Immortal Songs 2” held another two-episodes Song Chang Sik special, and this song was performed by Sweet Sorrow during the first part. The episode 174 was aired on KBS television station on November 22nd 2014 and on KBS World channel on December 13th 2014. | 2019-04-24T06:36:38Z | https://www.mashitafandia.com/2015/06/a-beautiful-day.html |
Hip Hop, Rural Jews, and Church-State Separation- Go Vote!
The ever-fabulous JA just sent out this email about a rabbi friend in rural America. Please listen and then go vote!
I would love for you to take a minute and go to Babaganewz to support something small but important. My friend L serves [a tiny rural town] where Jews are an extremely rare breed. When a nativity scene was put up in the public square last Christmas, L wrote a letter to the local newspaper about the importance of separation of church and state. In response, there was a huge public outcry in support of the nativity scene and against L.
Her religious school has entered a Jewish hip-hop contest on the theme of achdut [unity], and their rap, telling the true story of what happened […] last Christmas, is now a national finalist. Please go to Babaganewz and listen to Song F, then vote for it!
(I also happened to think it is by far the best entry.) For kids in a place [this town] who have literally no connection to any other Jews, winning a contest like this would really mean a lot, and could potentially go a long way towards keeping them connected to the Jewish people in the long term, along with helping them to see their rabbi as a role model in celebrating Jewish identity and uniqueness in small town America.
i totally just cried. haha. listen to it.
as a yid who grew up in a small town, and who still lives in a town with a small jewish community, i felt this. mad love to whoever wrote this.
i don’t think y’all peeps up in NYC could really understand. In most small towns speaking out against mixture of church and state, esp. when you’re a Jew, is like asking to be beat up. Trust me, been there, tried to fight that fight…you wouldn’t believe the kind of intimidation you encounter.
Back in my town, xtian prayer and scripture were done of the loudspeaker at graduation (among other occasions). At the time I attended the school, I was advised by fellow Jews not to “rock the boat” about it, so I shut my mouth and played the “good” Jew.
Of course enough about me. I could go on and on. But seriously, mad props to my fellow small town Jew.
There should be some kind of network for small town Jews, for support.
Thanks, guys. Unfortunately their song is still in 4th place. Keep voting and tell all your peeps!
better then 50 shekel, but that aint sayin much.
these dudes must be about 8 yrs old, jokers. | 2019-04-26T07:52:53Z | https://jewschool.com/2006/04/10489/hip-hop-rural-jews-and-church-state-separation-go-vote/ |

In mid-December, Cait and I took a trip to Seattle to do some extreme hiking with her sister Eliza in the Cascade Mountains. While traveling there, we took a flight from Tampa to Dallas, and transferred to another flight to Seattle. In the Dallas airport, while the plane was boarding, I started getting hungry, so I ran to McDonalds and bought a Kid’s Cheeseburger. About 1 hour before the plane touched down, I started getting nauseous. I sat up, stopped reading, and thought, “What the heck is wrong with me?!” I told Cait that I wasn’t feeling well, went to the back of the plane and stood in the middle of the isle, propping myself up with my hands against the headrest of two chairs. When my hands and feet starting going numb, I resigned myself to going into the bathroom before I made a scene by throwing up over someones shoulders. It was that moment that I realized I had food poisoning from that mediocre-tasting cheeseburger.
The following day in Seattle, we stopped by REI to get some last minute outdoor goods and then drove into the mountains.
The Roaring River bed and breakfast was a tranquil (despite it’s name) little place atop a cliff touching the Snoqualmie River.
Upon arriving the sun was setting over the mountains, so we rushed down a steep trail to see the river below.
The next morning we traveled to a Ranger’s station to inquire about the avalanche conditions of nearby trails. I was still coping with the residual symptoms of food poisoning, and also acquired Cait’s cold, so I knew a summit push was out of the question. We instead opted to hike Twin Falls in Olallie State Park.
We went snowboarding the following day, and then explored the city of Seattle the day after. I didn’t have my Canon 7D on me when I was informed we’d be going down to Seattle’s “Fish Market”, but I wish I did — walking through the merchant shops was a pretty cool experience. After leaving the market, we walked about 3 miles to the Seattle’s Olympic Sculpture Park and Art Museum. Ironically, I realized that the sculptures and man-made objects were not that interesting, but rather I enjoyed what nature could provide to the city.
Alas, for those that love the city, and that which is man-made: the iconic Space Needle. | 2019-04-19T01:21:05Z | http://meyermed.com/2012/01/seattle-twin-falls-trail-gold-creek-trail/ |

The Labor Party is proposing another attack on wealth-creating businesses with its planned tax hike on discretionary trusts.
It remains unclear how substantial the tax hit will be. Labor is claiming the crackdown will confiscate $1.7 billion from 135,000 trusts each year on average for the next 10 years. However, the devil will be in the detail. While the extent of the tax grab will depend on implementation, one thing is for sure: it will add more complexity and red tape to an already highly inefficient tax system.
The precise operation of the tax, including how much revenue it raises, is beside the point. The planned tax hike is entirely political. It sits alongside a commitment to undo tax cuts for businesses and raise the top income tax rate from 47 per cent to 49.5 per cent. The end game for Labor is to convince voters that their stagnant income growth is a result of a rigged system that benefits the wealthy.
We had a taste of how the political rhetoric will shape up over the coming months at the NSW Labor Party conference this past weekend. In his address to the conference, Bill Shorten said “our system should not be subsidising those who are already wealthy”. But a cursory look at the data demonstrates that it doesn’t. The top 1 per cent of income earners pay more in tax than 50 per cent of the taxpaying population. That’s a funny-looking subsidy.
Unfortunately, the entire debate about inequality got off on the wrong foot. The data used to claim that inequality is at a 75-year high – a pretext for the trust tax hike – was based on the proportion of pre-tax income earned by the top 1 per cent of income earners. Pre-tax income is a deficient measure of inequality because it doesn’t account for Australia’s tax and transfer system.
A more reputable source is the Gini coefficient. On that measure income inequality in Australia is about the average of comparable OECD nations and, in recent years, has either increased slightly, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, or decreased slightly, according to the Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. Besides, not even the Gini coefficient captures all private and public cash and non-cash transfers, so it is impossible to form precise conclusions about income inequality.
However, while it is difficult to reach firm conclusions on inequality of income, inequality of opportunity in Australia is more apparent. There is inequality between those who have a job and those who don’t because of the Fair Work Act; between those who have a good education and those who don’t because of the centralised bureaucratic approach to education policy; between those who can afford a house and those who can’t because of constrained supply; and between those who can afford to turn the heating on and those who can’t because of high cost, unreliable renewable energy subsidisation.
It would be much more productive for policymakers to focus on policies which will expand the opportunity for all Australians to flourish and become socially mobile. Today’s low-income earners are tomorrow’s high-income earners. Any policy which raises the tax burden on the wealthy also discourages upward mobility by penalising life-time success.
This brings us back to the issue of trusts. The main reason that trusts are so attractive is because Australia has a punitively progressive income tax system, which features a milieu of deductions and a high income tax free threshold. And of course the top marginal rate is high by international standards. Reducing and flattening the income tax schedule (ideally to one flat tax rate), eliminating deductions, and reducing the tax-free threshold would make trusts less attractive. Moreover, thousands of lawyers and accountants would be freed to engage in more productive activities.
A flat income tax schedule has the added advantage of not penalising success or discouraging aspiration. It means low-income Australians will not be discouraged from taking a higher-paying job or investing in their skills and education to move into a higher paying industry. It would also send a signal that Australia is a land of opportunity that celebrates and encourages success, rather than looking down upon it.
In these pages yesterday, Craig Emerson wrote that “comprehensive tax reform, based on the principle of broadening the base to lower the rates, will have to wait”. Wait until when? Tinkering with trusts will just add more complexity and red tape to an already grossly inefficient tax system. Policymakers should get on to the job of real reform to expand economic opportunity and give all Australians a better chance at success. | 2019-04-21T11:03:23Z | https://ipa.org.au/publications-ipa/in-the-news/question-trust-greater-opportunity |

Four readers love this post.
DrinkWire is Liquor.com’s showcase for the best articles, recipes and reviews from the web’s top writers and bloggers. In this post, Cocktail Chatter Box offers a boozy marshmallow recipe.
So you want to give your friends a spiked gift this holiday. In this, the season of giving, spiked gifts can be the perfect stocking stuffer or friends and neighbors gift option. Most of the liquor infused gifts on the market though, are either too sweet or taste slightly stale. Why not make it yourself? Even if you've never attempted to create a single confectionery good yourself, this is one you can definitely make in your own kitchen.
Allow me to introduce you to my new favorite holiday confectionery delicacy, Brandy Infused Salted Caramel Marshmallows.
Place the infused marshmallows, base down, into a container. If you're on a time crunch, put them in the freezer for 20-25 minutes, then move them to the refrigerator until you're ready to dip them in the caramel. If you're not in a hurry, leave them in the refrigerator over night.
Melt the salted caramel baking chips - place them into a small bowl with the teaspoon of butter, place it into the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat for 30 seconds each time until stirring creates a smooth liquid-like consistency.
Keeping the base side up, dip the infused marshmallows into the melted caramel chips.
Place each marshmallow, after dipping, caramel side up onto a piece of baking parchment or waxed paper so the candy can dry and harden.
These are fantastic for gifts, wonderful in hot cocoa or coffee, are a sumptuous garnish for sweet cocktails, and can satisfy a sweet tooth faster than a slab of peanut brittle. Happy culinary brandy adventures, and, Enjoy!!

Senator McCaskill has just visited Afghanistan and Pakistan as part of a Congressional Delegation trip. McCaskill headed to the Middle East to visit Missouri troops, focus on oversight of government contracting, and discuss national security.
Sen. McCaskill with troops in Kuwait.
She says she’s hopeful about the new offensive in Afghanistan. A big difference, she says, is the sense of internationalism.
McCaskill says she caught up with Missouri troops working on bringing equipment from Iraq to Kuwait, where it’s sorted, inventoried and either sent on to Afghanistan for use there or returned to the U.S.
She adds that there was almost no contracting oversight by the Department of Defense in the rebuilding effort in Iraq.
“We want to make sure that, since that property was never located and accounted for, equipment is either being sent back to the U.S. or refurbished and sent on to Afghanistan for use there,” she says. Referencing the international interst, she discussed meeting with German commanders and memorializing several Finns and Swedes that were killed on the front.
“While in Afghanistan, McCaskill participated in a series of meetings with military and government officials as well as civilians related to oversight of contracting issues. She observed Afghan police training, a program she has been investigating through her Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight. Serious accusations of waste and fraud have been raised against the contractor responsible for both the Iraqi and Afghan police training programs. While in Pakistan, McCaskill met with government officials as well as the Pakistani Prime Minister to discuss international security issues and nuclear security,” her office reports.
When the Missourinet talked to McCaskill, she was in in India to discuss strategic regional security concerns and international trade issues. She was accompanied on her trip by Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Congressman Baron Hill (D-IN).

Certain people can develop a routine in the gym whereby their rest period between sets is decided upon by the limited amount of time they have available or just their overall work ethic. Some guys prefer a more circuit/superset style workout with little rest as they feel they get more of a cardio-based workout. If muscle growth or strength is the goal then it may be of interest that a longer rest interval in between sets is needed.
Is There Any Evidence to Back It Up?
Twenty-one young resistance-trained men were randomly assigned to either a group that performed a resistance training (RT) program with 1-minute rest intervals (SHORT) or a group that employed 3-minute rest intervals (LONG). All other resistance training variables were held constant. The study period lasted 8 weeks with subjects performing 3 total body workouts a week comprised 3 sets of 8-12 repetition maximum (RM) of 7 different exercises per session.
As expected, maximal strength was significantly greater for both 1RM squat and bench press for the group taking longer rest. Muscle thickness tended to be greater when taking longer rest intervals as well. Very short rest periods may compromise growth by reducing the amount of weight you can use on subsequent sets. These results may be due to a reduction in total volume load (i.e. reps /x/ load) over the course of the study. This would indicate that if there are synergistic benefits to heightened metabolic stress, they are overshadowed by the associated decreased volume.
Results showed that a 3 minute rest in-between sets enhanced muscle strength and size compared to 1 minute. These results must be taken into context and realize that you should not wait 3 minutes between every set of each exercise. You should try combine different rest periods to potentially maximize hypertrophy.
In simple terms, take longer rest intervals (2-5 mins IMO) on your compound exercises such as squats, bench presses and rows. These movements highly tax a range of muscles, predominantly when performed with moderate rep ranges (i.e. 8-15 reps). Thus, it may be best practice to incorporate longer recovery periods when performing these exercises to fully restore energy levels for your next set to ensure that volume load is maintained across sessions.
Conversely, exercises like biceps curls, triceps pressdowns and leg extensions are not as metabolically demanding and therefore could conceivably benefit from shorter rest periods. Thus, you can increase metabolic stress and its potential hypertrophic benefits without negatively impacting volume load. At the end of your workout would be the best time to utilize the short-rest sets to ensure they don’t interfere with recovery of compound exercise performance. | 2019-04-23T20:13:35Z | https://shop.iammutant.com/shop/eu/blog/longer-rest-between-sets-enhances-muscle-growth/ |
An extremely successful 2018 season for Italian Mountain Bike is now in the books, and Internazionali d’Italia Series can’t wait to get things started in what promises to be an interesting 2019 year, on the path to the 2020 Olympic Games.
After a good 2018 year, that saw Gioele Bertolini and Marika Tovo earn the overall glory in the two Open categories, and Gerhard Kerschbaumer take the springboard towards a memorable second half of the season, Italy’s top Cross-Country MTB circuit continues in the ambitious project started in 2016 by CM Outdoor Events, under the aegis of the Italian Cycling Federation (FCI) and the International Cycling Union (UCI).
In 2019, Internazionali d’Italia Series returns to a five-stage formula, with two new events joining three confirmed stages from the previous season.
A new entry will have the honor of opening the new season: joining the Internazionali d’Italia Series, Andora Race Cup aims to establish itself as an important early season fixture, whose date (March 2-3) and climate make a perfect choice for riders looking for race rhythm after the winter time. The technical quality of the event is guaranteed by its organizer, Italian National Team Coach Mirko Celestino.
The next three events in line were part of the Internazionali d’Italia Series’ calendar also in 2018. and are set to take the great mountain bike carousel all around Italy, from North to Center, in a three-week space. Closing in on the 20-year threshold, the Marlene Südtirol Sunshine Race maintained the HC level after the huge success and show provided by its 2018 edition: once again, the MTB stars are on call in Nals.
On April 27-28, it will be time for Titano XCO: that’s an important confirmation for the Repubblica di San Marino’s race, whose technical quality has been rewarded by the UCI with the promotion to the C.1 category, and whose field of participants is sure to be enriched by some major stars. Also, the Aprutium Race in Pineto returns to the calendar on May 4-5, giving consistency to the international debut of 2018.
Two years after the conclusion in Courmayeur in 2017, Internazionali d’Italia Series will once again live its grand finale in Aosta Valley. Coming off the successful Enduro World Series stages organized in 2014, 2016 and 2018, La Thuile will host an ambitious C.1 international race. Animating the weekend on June 22nd and 23rd will be also the top Junior rider in the World, who will square off in the only Italian stage of the UCI Junior Series, the World Cup for the Junior category.
Important news come also from the partnerships’ side: after sharing the path with Internazionali d’Italia Series in the past few seasons, Shimano and Northwave have confirmed their trust in Italy’s most important MTB circuit. The continuous trust of such leading brands rewards the commitment of CM Outdoor Events, and gives a brighter perspective to the ambitious Internazionali d’Italia Series project. | 2019-04-19T10:20:18Z | http://whistlermountainbike.com/Competitions/five-events-for-2019-internazionali-d-italia-series.html |
RDAs are for giving control back to the vaper and for creating a variety of options that the vaper can work with. The RDA is naturally to be made by vapers who have some experience with vaping in general and with the mechanisms behind a vaping device. This is not to be attempted by people with no experience or prior information regarding electronics for safety reasons and as a precaution.
You get great performance out of this thing and you also get to create the object out of scratch which brings with it a certain pleasure of its own. If you are the one building the device you will indeed possess an intimate knowledge of the workings of it and will feel more confident when you are next using your Bolt RDA.
It is supposed to work hand in hand with the VOX 50 and the power you get with these two combined can be more than your wildest imagination. You can expect the best taste and flavor when these work together which is why they are a thoroughly recommended combination and they are often sold together by the brand as well.
You get clouds and clouds of nicely formed vapor which is lovely and you can adjust the airflow as you like as per the mechanisms of the device. You can tweak the settings to suit your purposes as well. The drip well is also deep so you can vape for absolutely long periods of time and you never need to worry about running out of flavor.
At $49.99 the price the rather steep but the effects can be dazzling if the building job is done right. The customer must know how to use a meter in order to build the RDA as trying to build one without this type of knowledge is quite hard.
Also be sure to check out the newest accessory – the air USB charger. | 2019-04-26T08:01:10Z | http://www.smokelessguide.com/vaporfi-coupon/bolt-rda/ |
dc.description.abstract Lessons in life are vast. Throughout our life we are presented with a series of events, situations and people that I believe are necessary in developing our purpose, deepening our connection with others and most importantly ourselves. Some of these events are devastatingly hard and others profoundly blissful. The emotions we are presented with during these experiences however intense, remind me of the beauty in our humanity. The fact that we can feel, express, and exists in all states is the momentous gift of life. I have attempted over the course of this degree to speak as truthfully and candid as I can. There is sincerity and truth in vulnerability, something which I hold in the highest esteem. Change is constant and inevitable in life, yet one of the hardest things to accept in the human experience. Narratives have been presented to me since I was a little girl in the form of stories, fairy tales and expectations for how life is supposed to go and how I am to exist within it. Throughout the years my desire for control has grown as I desperately tried to cling to those narratives. For this thesis and exhibition, I take an in depth look to nature as my source for inspiration and as my teacher. There is a beautiful surrender in nature as it humbly accepts the changes of life’s passing seasons. It is through this observation I have learned that I may choose to struggle against the current, or allow myself to remain open to the flow of life’s changes, leading me to the deeper waters I seek. And although it is nice to hold hands with another it is my hands I will use to stay afloat. | 2019-04-20T18:51:31Z | https://harvest.usask.ca/handle/10388/11868?show=full |

Today we put on a super-secret live gig and it went down a storm. All the fans were dancing and singing along to all the words.
Our manager Big Joe said it isn’t easy to stop people from taking photos and videos on their phones. If you’re in private property, there might be rules forbidding it. But in public places, it isn’t usually against the law to make recordings like that.
Luckily though we do still own the copyright to the music and so we decide how it’s shared about. The internet has lots of places where music and video are shared. It can be a great way to spread the word about a band. But if the copyright owner says it’s not for sharing then it is against the law.
Video sharing sites usually allow the copyright owner to remove videos that break the law in this way.
And to top off our epic win over Kitty Perry, loads of other people commented on the video saying they disagree with her. My fans were saying how much they enjoyed the concert and telling Kitty Perry that she must have fluff in her ears.

During Gucci's Fall 2018 show in Milan, the audience got quite a treat: models carried replicas of their own severed heads instead of handbags. Fashion!
As weird as it may be, there was an explanation: The show was titled "Cyborg Manifesto," inspired by an essay by Donna Haraway of the same name, and the space was decorated in the style of an operating room with turquoise walls, clinical overhead lights, and an operating table. "The concept of the operating room reflects the work of a designer — the act of cutting, splicing, and reconstructing materials and fabrics to create a new personality and identity with them," the brand explained on Twitter. But Alessandro Michele, creative director extraordinaire, didn't just stop at cutting and splicing clothing; he also chopped some body parts.
Models carried the copies of their own heads, created in collaboration with Makinarium, an Italian factory of "techno-artisans" that produces custom special and visual effects, down the runway.
But! Just as the audience had the chance to adjust to the concept of futuristic cyborg clones, the Gucci set suddenly transformed into a Westeros-leaning world where models carrying "dragon puppies" took the stage. Daenerys Targaryen would certainly be jealous of the reptilian creatures, which were "inspired by the 'legend of the baby dragon in the jar,' the real story of an author who staged finding a baby dragon in his garage in Oxfordshire, England," according to Gucci's Instagram account. | 2019-04-20T19:26:56Z | https://www.glamour.com/story/gucci-faux-severed-heads-fall-2018-runway |
Many travellers are searching for What Can I Do In Bangkok In June,Bangkok can well be described as a city of humble beginnings. In fact around 200 years ago, it was simply a small trading center and port community. Despite the fact that the city had grown rapidly and become renowned for being a modern and vibrant place, it has impressively retained its splendid and enchanting glory. That's why a visit to Bangkok should be on everyone's bucket list. You can find What Can I Do In Bangkok In June travel information.
Also called Wat Chetuphon, this really is a temple that was designed for King Rama in Bangkok a huge selection of years ago. It is actually regarded as a location where people can receive feelings, and was considered among the first pharmacies in most of Bangkok. Also, it is the position of the first university that has been started with a descendent of King Rama, an area where you could now get not only traditional medicine but a foot massage at very inexpensive prices. It really is known mostly for the Temple of your Reclining Buddha that is a Buddha that is certainly resting perched on his arm. It is actually enormous, roughly 15 m high by 45 m long, and will simply be viewed in sections due to its size. There are numerous beautiful precious stones that were in lead from the soles in the feet, an overall quantity of 108 stones total. This really is a number linked to procession, the wobble of the earth, something which is built into many of the temples throughout Thailand.
This is an absolutely beautiful structure which has a substantial amount of history, and it is the house of exactly what is called Wat Phra Kaeo. It is actually here that the emerald or jade Buddha is available, within this palace built-in 1782, the residence of your royalty which were in command of the land during the time. This palace includes two hours of not just the palace itself but also the Wat Phra Kaew Tour. Our recommendation is that you start early each morning to benefit from everything that you will be able to see, or simply just do a half day sightseeing tour to discover either one.

It really is a 27 m high structure, use for religious ceremonies, and its purpose is to undergo a ritual that involves groups of three people seeing the top and walking across on the narrow board. There were a substantial amount of fatal accidents in the 1930s which cause them to not take advantage of this like a ritual anymore. However, it really is a beautiful sight to see, especially before Wat Suthat.
This really is literally something out of the movies, a genuine floating market that may be about 1 hour outside Bangkok. It is actually considered by some to get the Venice from the East, similar to just how the folks that a part of Italy do this several things around the water. Additionally it is a tourist trap due to how folks are seeking to check this out market that may be completely floating on boats manned by people selling their goods. However, once you do go, you will certainly be treated to probably the most delicious food that is certainly absolutely fresh, served within an authentic way.
For those who have time, you are able to visit Lumpini Park which is a literal oasis in the middle of the architecture and buildings of Bangkok. There are many lawns that you can spend time at, Chinese pagodas, and there is a small lake that you can require a boat out on. Is good for relaxing because the park is indeed tranquil, despite every one of the skyscrapers that are surrounding it in all of the directions. The park has been a place where antigovernment protests have occurred, so just be sure that when you decide to visit there, it's just people chilling out to relax. | 2019-04-19T22:39:01Z | https://abncruises.com/what-can-i-do-in-bangkok-in-june.asp |

Paul Allen's cause of death was the septic shock brought on by his battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma ... TMZ has learned.
We obtained Allen's death certificate, and it lists septic shock and immunosuppression as causes of death ... but both were clearly the result of his cancer. According to the document ... Allen died Monday at 12:35 PM at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle.
The Microsoft cofounder had announced nearly 3 weeks ago his cancer had returned after 9 years of remission.
Allen owned the Seattle Seahawks and the Portland Trailblazers, and cofounded Microsoft with Bill Gates in 1975. His estimated net worth was north of $20 billion. Allen was never married and had no children. He was 65.
According to the death certificate, he opted to be buried instead of cremation. | 2019-04-25T02:33:47Z | https://www.tmz.com/2018/10/19/paul-allen-death-certificate-septic-shock-non-hodgkins-lymphoma/ |
This fly is one of these, or maybe the, never be without, when it comes to catching mountain lake trout. It is good for quite a lot of sea trout and salmon from the spate rivers as well. I saw Ray Robinson catching three grilse on a size 14 at the Eany in no time at all, and a fourteen pounder from the Owenea took it also; or as he put it: The Bibio strikes again.
Westport Angler William Hewetson gets the laurels for inventing the Bibio. It is supposed to imitate the Hawthorn fly, which appears in spring, when that tree is blooming; but the artificial catches fish from the first to the last day day of the season.
The dubbed seal's fur for the fuzzy body can be substituted by floss to slimline the fly. A version very well taken by the trout of the North-West, thick, fat food items don't domineer.
The Bibio is tied on a wide range of hook sizes, from 8 to 12 to 14 or even 16, depending what fish or water you have in mind.
Bohnhsdorfer, just finished with preparing sandwiches for the day out, replied enthusiastically, I am happy with anything, as long as there is a fish to catch or maybe two.
Putting his glasses into a battered case and stuffing the thing in his trousers pocket, Raimondo got up to help his angling partner carry the gear down to the car, the map shows a fairly big river coming out of the lake, he explained, mostly an indication that there is fish in a lake.
After about an hour's drive, during which the roads became smaller and narrower with every turn, they found themselves on a sort of lane, grass growing in the middle, lots of pot-holes, a rugged looking mountain to the right, a little river below in the rocky valley to the left.
Raimondo stopped the car, took the map from the glove compartment, armoured his eyes with glasses, you see, we are here now, where the road crosses the stream running into the river down there. He brought the map closer to glasses and eyes, we should drive to here and then walk up from there, a right forefinger followed contours, right over the top, looks the easiest way to me.
So they drove on to come to an even smaller lane going down, crossing the river, to end at a farm-house with shed and outhouses; maybe we can drive down there? suggested Bohnsdorfer.
You are not afraid of walking, are you!?
But when the lake is somewhere beyond that there mountain, it would only be natural to park the car over there.
Okay, lets see whether we can find a place. Raimondo steered the car carefully to the left and they rolled down, drove over a rather instable looking little bridge, parked, got out of the vehicle, into boots, leggings and raincoats.
At that stage the farmer came from his shed, pushing a wheel-barrow, filled with steaming manure, straight to the bridge.
Hello, greeted Raimondo, do you mind if we leave the car here? We have this idea to go over the mountain and fish that lake there, pointing vaguely to where he guessed the lake would be.
Surely aye, responded the farmer, setting down his load, yous can leave the car there.
Surely now, nodded the puzzled farmer; and Raimondo had a big smile on his face, but didn't you enjoy the little stroll then?
Here the farmer smiled, once, and pointed to an imaginary place behind the mountain, yous won't have to walk for three hours to get to that lake there.
What do you think is the easiest way to get up to it? enquired Raimondo.
Surely, the shortest way would be to walk over there now, and the man points again in his direction.
Wait, demands Raimondo, I thought the lake is over there, pointing out his direction.
Over there, the farmer's eyes follow Raimondo's extended index-finger, over there yous will end up at Lough Belshade eventually, but that is a long way walking, more than three hours.
Hmm, Raimondo gets out the map from his waxed jacket, fumbles in his trousers for his glasses, you see, the map gets spread out on the car's bonnet, we are here, there is actually your lane shown, here is the river. And the lake is over there, just behind the hill.
The lake is over there, a hand with an extended index-finger comes up, yous come to it when yous follow the river up.
That's right, Raimondo takes the glasses off, looks expertly at the mountain. The glasses go on again, to study the map further, but you see, the river comes around here, and the lake is then actually over there. Here, have a look for yourself.
Now, I can't see much without my glasses.
So the farmer puts on Raimondo's glasses, looks at the map, then up, and again at the map, and finally a bit confused into Raimondo's eyes, saying: I always go up there, cross the river and then follow it up.
Raimondo, taking over the map now, holding it at arm's length, because his glasses sit on the farmer's nose, insists: But you see, we are over here, and the lake has to be over there.
Giving the glasses back, pointing out his direction, the uncertain man says only: I always go up there.
Our two anglers express their thanks, fetch the rods and begin walking. The farmer watches them for quite a while ( scratching the back of his head ), before he grabs the handles of the wheel-barrow and pushes it up onto a field.
Well, replied Raimondo regally, he always follows the river up. We are just going the direct route to it, straight over the top.
And in the beginning he was so convinced he was right.
At about that time the farmer decides to have a break as well, walks into the house, where a caring wife prepares the tea. He eats a bit faster than usual and even cleans the table himself; to get space for the map he takes from a drawer of the dresser.
We are here, Raimondo has the map spread out in the grass, holding a compass in his right hand, so we actually have just to walk straight on. When we keep a little to the right we should come soon to yer man's river.
Meanwhile the farmer's wife has arranged spectacles in a comfortable position on her nose, no, it is here! she says, her fingers walk studying along the map.
The farmer himself, tipping on the map with a well chewn mouth-tip of his pipe, asks slightly challenging, but where are we then!?
Now, says she, that must be the river here.
Let me have a look at that thing again, commands he.
Not a chance in the world! laughs Raimondo, pointing to a hill in front of them, must be just over there.
Which lake did you say they wanted to go to? the farmer's wife puts the kettle on the range, to make another pot of tea, and to prepare dinner.
They had fishing rods with them ‘n' all, said he, not really going into the question.
Must be just behind that little elevation there, Raimondo points with his rod-tip to the next hill. That the sun was just about to set there was incidental.
The farmer, by now on his way to the pub, hopes to solve the enigma concerning the position of his lake with the help of a few pints. Map and the wife's older pair of glasses are buried in the pocket of his jacket.
No chance! must be just over there, somewhere, insisted Raimondo and until they find a lake they walk happily ever after. | 2019-04-23T22:50:45Z | http://www.wheretofishinireland.com/home/index.php?id=64 |

Added a “Blink Click” channel that clicks the mouse button when a blink is detected. It is disabled by default and can be enabled under the Plugins menu.
I have recently started with Mindwave mobile which connects with brain Visualizer etc, but not with lucidscribe using the thinkgear connector 9.6. I get cpu display but nothing from EEG, meditation, alpha, etc. The EEG plot is flat at 256. Also the exit command does not close the program making it even harder to check different com ports. Thethinkgear icon shows a connection to visualizer but not lucid scribe. closing visualizer doesn’t help.
You should only have ThinkGear Connecter running before you start Lucid Scribe. The program minimizes to the system tray, next to the time – if you right-click on the icon and select Exit, it should close. Also, make sure that no other programs are connected to ThinkGear Connector, so close Brain Visualizer.
Please let me know if that works and if you can trigger the audio track by blinking six times.
I have followed your suggestions and have also installed the newest updates LS1.2.1, TG plugin.0.9.6. and NETframework 4.0 Still a flat display and no connection to TGC 3.1.9.0. I am running Windows 6.0, service pack 2 (Vista).
When connected to Visualizer, TGC shows ‘STATUS: connected’. This changes to ‘STATUS: disconnected’ immediately when Visualizer is disconnected. However, the TGC status always remained ‘disconnected’ when I run LS 1.2.1.
I managed to get it connected again on my machine with Lucid Scribe 1.2.1 and ThinkGear EEG 0.9.6!
1.) Close all apps – ThinkGear Connector should be ‘disconnected’.
Mine is now working too w/ LS 1.2.1 and TG 0.9.6. I will email you a 1min screen shot that shows recording from the Occiptal region (Oz) and a response to 5 seconds of eye closing (which produces a big increase in alpha in most (but not all) people. You will see that the Alpha output increases with a short delay and then slowly decays. This suggests the use of a moving average in the algorithm. The EEG itself has been heavily filtered and is far from ‘raw’. You really can’t see the alpha activity even thought the FFT sees it!
Awesome! Thanks for your patience. I will update the instructions on the plugin download page, as even I was confused last night, expecting the ThinkGear Connector to be ‘connected’.
There should not be any empty logged minutes. Lucid Scribe outputs everything to the “Current” view, and writes it to file at the end of each minute. Can you also send a log file with missing minutes when you send the screenshot? Just right-click on the hour and select export and send me the LSD file. I have had this happen with earlier versions of Lucid Scribe when my machine was under heavy load… so I might still have some tweaking to do.
So, say we have a value of 500 for one second and then it updates to a value of 600: instead of having 10 dots in a flat line at 500 and then a jump to 600 for the next 10 dots, it starts at 500 and increments by 10 until it gets to 600. I can duplicate all the channels without the average if you like? But we won’t be able to get the values without a delay, except, perhaps – if we recalculate them from the raw “NeuroSky EEG” channel?
The Neurosky EEG output is clearly bandpass filtered, I don’t know if it is possible to get the real raw data but it sure would be nice.
Initialization seems to be another issue/solution. LS Connects with TGC only if you run TGC immediately before. If you run visualizer and then close and then try to run LS the connection fails. In a slightly similar way Logging starts and continues when you start LS (after a full exit) until you open log file. Then logging continues to show entries (384, 386, etc/min) but the log data display is blank. As for the frequency data, plotting one (large) point /sec would be a place to start. With a little more programing you could connect the dots or just draw a line back 1sec which is likely to be the epoch of FFT analysis.
I can check the NeuroSky spec and see what unit they were originally in.
Just for clarity, (from a card-carrying EEGer) Recorded from the scalp with any kind of electrode (including needle electrodes) EEG amplitudes ranges from 10-100 uV (micro volts) while awake. Beta activity is typically much lower in amplitude that Alpha or Theta, say10 uV versus 50uV.
With deep sleep or coma delta activity may reach several hundred uV. Cerebral death is usually defined as having no recorded EEG activity greater than 2uV. Certain types of epilepsy may produce abnormal discharges (Spike-wave activity) that may exceed 1000 or even 2000 uV (=2mV).
EEG activity recorded from subdural electrodes is similar to that on the surface of the brain and is usually 5-10x greater in amplitude thanscalp EEG.
You can use this formula to convert the values on the Raw EEG channel to voltages: (rawValue * (1.8/4096)) / 2000. This is due to a 2000x gain, 4096 value range, and 1.8V input voltage.
I want to have NeuroSky’s activities change the color and speed of an LED strip. Is that possible? I have no coding experience this this a job for a coder?
Sure. What type of LED strips would you like to use?
Hey Michael: Great to get your response. I am looking at these: http://www.adafruit.com/products/306. I also suspect that I will have to change the light pattern of the LEDs. They natively illuminate linearly and I would like to control the illumination speed as well and make the order random looking. Any thoughts on how to progress on this project would be awesome.
This guys has it running via USB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdGOdQhpz80. If you can figure out what contraption he shows at 1:10, I could write a plugin for Lucid Scribe to send commands to it through the USB port.
Thanks, yes I know what that contraption is and can be run via bluetooth. Can Neurosky output to bluetooth?
Have you an email address where we can discuss details off line?
You can reach me at mcoder@lucid-code.com.
I could write a Lucid Scribe plugin to output the NeuroSky measurements to Bluetooth. Do you have the headset working in Lucid Scribe?
Elite. The Mindflex plugin should work for your setup. You can download it from this thread: https://lucidcode.com/2013/08/23/mattel-mindflex-0-9-4/. Then you can select the COM port on which the Bluetooth is connected and it will be visually displayed and logged in data files for later review of the experiments. Please let me know if that works for you.
How did the experiments with the EEG SMT from Olimex go? Were you able to get it to trigger the audio tracks by only moving your eyes behind closed lids?
Michael Paul Coder thanks for the reply and help!! Try Mattel Mindflex 0.9.4, on EEG-SMT – I’m just starting to understand and explore, using Lucid Scribe and ElectrikGuru. I will keep up to date – thanks for everything!
Now sew a headband with electrodes EEG-SMT, http://postimg.org/image/3kiifv9en/.
‘ll Sleep with her uncomfortable – yes, but necessary.
Sleep with NeuroSky ThinkGear EEG-one wireless convenient and easy.
Elite. I see you have 3 active electrodes in there. You should be able to replace the electrode in the middle with the passive electrode (DLR) and still get it to trigger on eye movements. This is what my setup looks like: http://i.imgur.com/3n14ti1.jpg. Very comfortable and no sewing required. Check the halographs page for do it yourself instructions.
Can you get the Morse Code working with the NeuroSky ThinkGear EEG plugin?
http://eric-blue.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-brain_grapher-2.png you like to do???
Cool. Help yourself to some more audio tracks I mixed: http://www.lucid-code.com/LSDBase/Anthems/.
For the MindWave? Not sure off the top of my head… will check when I am back home. But it definitely uses the Microsoft BT stack.
Hi Michael , sleep with the electrode on the ear – very uncomfortable. I want to move it to the forehead, what do you say??? will work???
There is only one way to find out, but it will be worth the endeavor. Let us know how it goes!
Elite. Can you still pick up the signal in Lucid Scribe and is it clean and can it pick up eye movements?
My friend makes the program to determine REM, I do spend experiences and gather information (sleep with the device). I don `t know if your program is suitable for our remodeling neurosky, I also use gel electrodes EEG and EEG / ECG.
Try exporting a single hour to CSV… that way it include the time interval. | 2019-04-24T01:55:03Z | https://lucidcode.com/2012/10/23/neurosky-thinkgear-eeg-0-9-6/ |
Maundy Thursday is observed during Holy Week on the Thursday before Easter.
Also referred to as “Holy Thursday” or “Great Thursday” in some Christian denominations, Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper when Jesus shared the Passover meal with his disciples on the night before he was crucified. In contrast to joyful Easter celebrations when Christians worship their resurrected Saviour, Maundy Thursday services are typically more solemn occasions, marked by the shadow of Jesus’ betrayal.
Before the Passover meal, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. By performing this lowly act of service, the Bible says in John 13:1 that Jesus “showed them the full extent of his love.” By his example, Jesus demonstrated how Christians are to love one another through humble service.
For this reason, many churches practice foot-washing ceremonies as a part of their Maundy Thursday services.
These events recorded in Luke 22:19-20 describe the Last Supper and form the biblical basis for the practice of Communion. For this reason, many churches hold special Communion services as a part of their Maundy Thursday celebrations.
Likewise, many congregations observe a traditional Passover Seder meal.

Les Miles: Miles has not refuted the rumors that he and UM have been engaged in "negotiations" with regard to the head coaching position. As of now I would give Miles the edge.
Jim Harbaugh: No doubt that Jim Harbaugh will be fired after the regular season ends. BUT as we mentioned earlier it appears he is heading to Oakland. Maybe this is why UM is going all full court press on Les Miles.
David Cutcliffe: According to multiple reports Cutcliffe has either turned down the job or hasn't even been contacted by Michigan.
Mark Stoops: We are going to wait and see. If Stoops denies interest before the weekend begins we will write it off as rumor, if he doesn't, well, then we won't.
According to one FootballRumorMill.com, a “well-placed source” indicates our own Mark Stoops could be a backup candidate for the Wolverines head coaching job. Michigan is looking for someone who can recruit in Ohio and Mark Stoops has shown he can get it done on the recruiting trail and compete with the big dogs in his home state.
But first, Michigan is seeking Les Miles or Jim Harbaugh for the job. Reports say Miles is interested but the two sides can’t agree on the budget for a staff, while Harbaugh is waiting to finish out his NFL regular season to make any decisions on his future.
If Harbaugh is canned, and that’s very likely, you have to think he’ll take the job at his alma mater. | 2019-04-23T02:19:10Z | https://theruraldemocrat.typepad.com/the_rural_democrat/2014/12/kentucky-football-coach-mark-stoops-may-be-heading-to-michigan.html |
2) Your non-refundable registration and placement fee of $350 or £200 are due at the time of registration with the balance due 21 days before the summer program starts. This registration fee is part of the total fee. The fee is valid for one time registration only and cannot be used for a postponed or future registration nor can it be used for another individual.
3) Once the registration together with the registration fee payment have been received, we will send you a Letter Of Offer and receipt of payment. If you require a visa to enter the country you must present this letter to your nearest Embassy or Consulate with your visa application package.

The Employee table is persisted on disk. You add 2,000 records to the Employee table.
Optimizes the performance of the stored procedure.
Covers all the columns required from the Employee table.
Uses FirstName and LastName as included columns.
Minimizes index storage size and index key size.
D. Create a clustered columnstore index on the table.
E. Create a nonclustered columnstore index on the table.
A. Update the transaction level of the report query session to READPAST.
B. Modify the report queries to use the UNION statement to combine the results of two or more queries.
C. Set the READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT database option to ON.
D. Update the transaction level of the report query session to READ UNCOMMITTED.
Transactions running at the READ UNCOMMITTED level do not issue shared locks to prevent other transactions from modifying data read by the current transaction. This is the least restrictive of the isolation levels.
Solution: You partition the largest tables.
Solution: You change the transaction log file size to expand dynamically in increments of 200 MB.
Solution: You create a file group for the indexes and a file group for the data files. You store the files for each file group on separate disks.
Consider creating two additional File Groups: Tables and Indexes. It is best not to put your stuff in PRIMARY as that is where SQL SERVER stores all of its data and meta-data about your objects. You create your Table and Clustered Index (as that is the data for the table) on [Tables] and all Non-Clustered indexes on [Indexes].
You have a 3-TB database. The database server has 64 CPU cores.
You plan to migrate the database to Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
You need to select the service tier for the Azure SQL database. The solution must meet or exceed the current processing capacity.
Solution: You select the Premium service tier.
Premium service is required for 3 TB of storage.
Solution: You select the Standard service tier.
Solution: You select the Basic service tier.
Solution: You drop the nonclustered index.
We see Actual Number of Row is 3571454, while Estimated Number of Rows is 0.
This indicates that the statistics are old, and need to be updated.
Solution: You defragment both indexes.
Solution: You update statistics for the nonclustered index. | 2019-04-26T12:44:49Z | http://www.redhatdumps.com/new-70-762-dumpsexam-pass-100braindump2go-70-762-dumps-in-pdf-and-vce-120q-instant-download82-92.html |

These are only some of the names given to the Missouri River when it flowed freely over its 2,341 mile length, from the Rocky Mountains to its mouth at the Mississippi River at St. Louis, flowing through 10 states, past 28 Native American tribes and 10 million people. The Big Muddy reportedly wrecked 297 steamboats between 1832 and 1910. Even in periods of drought, the Missouri River was still a flooding threat because of its large drainage area of more than one-sixth of the United States.
The Missouri River caused millions of dollars in damages when it flooded. These floods could be disastrous, taking property and sometimes lives in its wild flow. In 1943, thousands of acres of farmland were flooded. Airport runways at Omaha sat under 8 feet of water. Factories, highways and railroads were flooded. This flooding hampered the war-time military effort. Congress heard a plea for flood relief after the devastation of 1943. Congress asked agencies to work together.
Congress passed the Flood Control Act of 1944, also known as the Pick-Sloan Plan (1970), to capture those benefits through construction of dams on the river. Two studies – one by the U.S. Corps of Engineers under the direction of Col. Lewis A. Pick and another led by Asst. Commissioner W. Glenn Sloan of the Bureau of Reclamation – provided the basis for the act. Pick focused on flood control and navigation as primary benefits. Sloan focused on hydropower and irrigation as the core benefits. Domestic water supplies and recreation were recognized but not cited as significant benefits. Even though flood risk cannot be eliminated, the Missouri River Main Stem dams have prevented billions in damages to property and infrastructure. Today’s flood would be much worse without them.
What does the reservoir mean to people today? The Corps of Engineers estimates the economic benefits related to the Missouri River system to be more than $1 billion annually. In fiscal year 2010, the estimated benefits grew to $1.6 billion primarily due to flood control during a very wet year.
recreation more than $200 million annually.
Without sedimentation management, system benefits will wither away and the harnessing of a great resource will be wasted. | 2019-04-18T13:05:17Z | http://msaconline.com/?page_id=50 |

Did Sonu Nigam reach the level of excellence of Rafi?
Sonu Nigam is considered the most powerful playback singer in bollywood films at the moment. The greatest debate that haunts most of the music lovers of the country is that whether Sonu Nigam had reached the level of excellence that Rafi had reached in the 50s and 60s.

Gay abandon !! Pitter patter of raindrops on the tin roof.....soft music in the background......musty smell of earth......forgotten yesterdays.....postponed tomorrows......this moment...right now....I live.
Awesome photo. It would probably evoke poetry moreso that a story for me. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
I love this picture, too. Indie, was it how you found it or did you crop it?
Princess Dominique: I haven't a story yet for this photo, but I'm sure I'll try to make it poetic. On the other hand, that's not a good sign. My best results are when I don't try to do something. If I try, it usually goes wrong.
Ariel: I don't modify or influence the photos I find in any way. I hope it inspires you to write something. I'm still thinking.
Rusty: Thanks for writing a story so quickly! I havn't read it yet - I avoid reading the contributions until after I've written mine.
It wasn't your average day in Vestial Virgin Land. Yes, it was sunny, everything glowed in clean whites, and the air was still pure. But rather than saunter around passively and in quiet expectation of some unknown event, one of the girls broke free. She used ground roots and berries to change her hair color from golden blonde to a brown so dark it seemed black. She modified her outfit so while it was still chaste it was free and functional -- those long dresses that touched the ground were hard to keep clean and hard not to step upon while moving forward. And rather than sticking to the prayer-like contemplative facial stance, she smiled and used her neck and looked like she was having good clean fun for once. She danced through the room rather than flowed abruptly like a bridesmaid. She introduced two things to Vestial Virgin Land which had never existed before: actual happiness in herself, and quiet envy in other residents.
Come clean, Indie, that's one of your recently-printed photos, and that's your Muse, isn't she?
Princess Lucinda was excited. It was the first of May, the day her fairy godmother had promised she could free herself and her people from the clutches of her evil Auntie Kodachrome. But only if she danced long and beautifully enough.
She had already been dancing for hours to any music her people could provide--bawdy drinking songs, heavy metal, one dedicated group of volunteers even performed a symphony. Lucinda was tired, but she was resolved: she and her people would not be imprisoned in the black-and-white world forever. She clung to the pillar in the great hall of her castle, swinging round it with wild abandon, tossing her hair over her face in a frenzy.
The last voice she heard was her godmother's. "You have done well, my child. The sun is setting. Your people will be free. . . ."
But Lucinda heard no more, for just as the sun dropped over the horizon, she fell dead, and the bush behind her broke into a riotous bloom of color.
O. k., so I borrowed a bit from the Rite of Spring. Sue me.
She felt incredibly carefree this morning. The very air invited her to look for a new adventure.
This happened every time Mike brought by a couple of chilled six packs of Mike's Hard Lemonade.
Ella would drink them and start giggling, then dancing, then she'd open up to Mike's advances.
What Mike didn't know was that whenever he looked away, Ella would pour her drink out into the base of the Palm tree. She wasn't drunk at all.
She was giggling and letting him kiss her simply because she wanted him too.
Blonde mating call - "I'm Druuuuunk!"
Brunette mating call - "I SAID I'M DRUNK!!"
My story is supposed to be sweet, very simply sweet.
Rusty: Now I can tell you I love what you wrote. I think it perfectly captures the mood of the photo.
Princess Dominique: Now I can thank you properly for the unintended compliment. It's a photo I took and enlarged myself of my lovely muse.
Ariel: My muse was looking through a box of photos and suggested I use this photo of her (We'd already planned to slyly slip in one of her photos, but weren't sure which one. Actually I was going to suggest one from this series, when she walked in the room with the photo you see.) I scanned it in and cut off the white border. I had no idea the photo would stand out so.
Mushroom: I love how your story turned out. I think the photo inspired you. My own story was hard. Try to write something when your muse is standing behind you telling you "It better be brilliant." You found me out with your guess, except it was for the wrong reasons. This photo was made around 9 years ago.
DDDragon: A new art form. The two sentence short story. Cool.
Jamie: I think your story was very sweet. I'd guess a lot of women know more about the psychology of men than men know about the psychology of women.
Beautiful words, Indie, for a beautiful picture.
Your muse looks heavenly. Very pretty.
Thank you Jamie. I'm truly fortunate to have found my muse.
I think it's impressive that Mushroom guessed about the photo.
I hadn't any doubt. I might have been wrong about it being a reprint (I've been playing with a lot of original photos of my bride's family from 1910-1960 with the intention of making reprints) but I did presume it was a picture taken at a previous time by you of her.
It was on the second day of school and since I missed the 7:30 bus,I was kind of late,not too much no,not late enough to run but late so that I had to walk fast,I heard the bell of Fortier High School ringing from a hundred yards off,I had to speed up.
She walked out of her alley and at the first sight of her my fourteen years old heart skipt a beat or two.She was going the opposite way from Fortier so she passed me by,I turned around to watch her go and I almost ran into a post, she looked back too so she had time to see what was happening and I heard her giggling, as I hurried to school I felt myself blushing.
I kept taking the 7:45 bus everyday for a month or two so I could just time my walk to school to see her get out from her house and our paths would cross until I had enough guts to say hello to her,she answered and her voice was a low chant "Hi" and I blushed again,she saw it as her eyes looked up and she smiled and looked aside the way girls do when they mean yes,even though they might say no.
and fresh scent around her,she didn't have much books to carry and after a while I learned that most saturdays she spent on her house's porch reading a book or doing nothing(I learned this because my dad drove me by a saturday afternoon) on another saturday I checked to see if she was there,she was.
You don't go to school on saturdays do you?-No,I...was just..well I came to see you(blush).
As if we knew each other since birth.

water falls from my eyes,it rains a bit on my pillow.
I really liked all the stories. She really is a Muse!
beautiful story, Indie, is worthy of the beauty of the picture.
GPV: Your story is especially moving. Not once could I have stopped reading, even if I wanted to. It made me remember those tender teenage moments of liking a girl I'd seen, trying to meet her. "made love eyes in eyes" is such a beautiful expression. The way you wrote this makes me feel that it's a true story.
Mrs. Weirsdo & Ariel: Thank you and thank you. My muse doesn't believe me, but when I look at her, she looks the same to me as when I took that picture.
Still life: Thanks for contributing something so late. I hadn't thought of it, thought I should have, that photo has something of an invitation to dance.
I will repost the new stories at indeterminacies. And today's story will be a surprise. My muse is writing it!

I love games! Since I started teaching, I’ve always loved making review and practice fun in my classroom. Students love games, too. With everything students are expected to learn and remember each year, I believe spiraling concepts is a MUST. So, why not make the review FUN by using games to engage and practice?!
Spiraling is when you take concepts that were previously taught and you sprinkle them in here and there to keep them fresh in your students’ minds. It may be in the form of a center, or station, in small group or even for homework/independent work. (More on all that later.) Spiraling is NOT taking a chapter test and then moving on to the next chapter without ever going back to the concepts from the other chapter.
I started using more games when I could see my students weren’t engaged in reviewing from a packet or a worksheet or the book. They just weren’t trying and when I would look at their papers many were answers incorrect. I really felt this defeated the purpose of a review. I felt like the reviewing may have actually been hurting instead of helping and my students weren’t retaining the information like I’d wanted them to. But we had to keep moving due to the pacing guide and staying on track with the rest of the grade level.
***Insert fun review games (click here to see the games I use in my classroom) that I would spiral throughout the year and they were retaining the information. I use A LOT of U-Know and Task Cards to help make review FUN! Yay! I’m serious. Some of my students were actually thanking me for making it fun and they said they were finally remembering things better. You can even sign up below to get two FREE U-Know games!
Sign up here to get your FREE U-Know Games!
1. It helps students retain information. Like I said, the students are more engaged in their learning if it’s fun. So, using games will help them practice and retain information as you move to new concepts. The more they practice, the better they will remember for the rest of the year.
2. It’s important for building a foundation. Many topics build on each other throughout the year. You want your students to use the information you’ve already taught them, as well as, the current topics you’re focusing on.
3. It helps the students that may not have fully understood it the first time. Let’s face it. Ideally, we wouldn’t move on from one concept until all of our students have mastered it. But, that unfortunately can’t happen most times due to pacing guides and alll of the standards we need to cover. Spiraling helps those students get to mastery level with practice and FUN!
4. It makes students more confident in their abilities. The more my students practice with games, the more confident they get on their tests and quizzes. They even start participating more in class discussions. Yay!
5. Using games to spiral makes it fun! Making it fun is the key. If students WANT to play, then everyone wins! They ask to play when they finish their work early, they ask to take a game to lunch, they even ask to play during indoor recess! I mean, really, what more could a teacher want?!
There are many times in the day that you could use games to spiral. You would have to look at your schedule and what you already do and see where you could use spiraling. Some of the different way I have seen teachers spiral I have listed below.
➽Whole Class: Teacher breaks students up into groups and then gives each group the same game or activity. Or each group has a different activity and then you have the students rotate around to the different stations throughout the class period or throughout the week. This would be great for a review day before a test. I like to use different stations. One is usually our current topic, one for multiplication facts, and two stations of spiraled topics that I want to refresh in their minds.
➽Small Group Centers: Teacher is meeting with a group of students and the rest of the students are working in centers. Make one or two of the centers a game. I use U-Know a lot in centers. (Click here to see them.) My students LOVE U-Know! BONUS: Since I teach them the game once in the beginning of the year, I can then just switch it out to the many different topics. It makes it easier since they already know the game. U-Know games come in MANY different math and language arts topics. It’s played similar to UNO but with a twist! Students must answer the question on the card correctly or they draw two. This helps them try harder to get the correct answer and the other students are all over checking to make sure they were correct.
I also use task cards a lot here, too. Task cards are great because you can pretty much put them with any game and you have a brand new way to use them. Put them with Candyland as the cards and students must answer correct to pick a card or put them with a mini basketball game where they get to shoot for bonus points if they get the answer correct. Or check out some of my task cards (Click here to see my task cards.) that come with game boards and all you need is a die and games pieces and you’re all set.
➽Independent Work: When students have an assignment they need to complete independently, you could always have them play an independent game with a deck of cards. Or they could be working on a set of task cards that focus on a variety of topics they need to review. You can mix and match task cards sets…just be sure to not have duplicate numbers.
➽Homework: I don’t really give much homework but I do have mini sets of games that I print out. (Click here to see how I do that.) So students can sign out the games and practice at home with their families.
➽Early Finishers: You could have games or activities ready to go and as students complete work in the classroom, they could find friends that are also done and play a game. Also works as a great motivator to not waste time and to get work done.
Here’s a set I put together for the kids. This is my ELA Vocab Review Cards.
I printed everything smaller so it would fit. See how I do that in this post.
➽Lunch/Recess: At my school, students need an activity for when they finish eating their lunch. They can bring a book to read or something else to do. My students LOVE taking my games (Click here to see all of my games) so I set up little bins with mini dry erase boards, mini game pieces, dice, and cards for them to grab for playing at lunch.

Ice improving, with good to excellent action for northerns and panfish, and walleye bite good. All in the Eagle River, Wisconsin area.
Ice is improving in the Eagle River area. There is 3 to 7 inches of ice — lake and area dependent. The bigger lakes are thinner. Eagle River area anglers are just starting to get out to main basin areas on the smaller lakes, with a very few deeper areas of the bigger lakes becoming accessible. Only use foot travel which currently is easy, with a 2-4 inch snow cover on most lakes. Definitely use creepers and take a spud. For sure, don’t go out alone, and extreme caution is recommended. We still urge you to hire an Eagle River area guide, who is familiar with Eagle River’s multitude of lakes and can put you on fish without compromising safety.
Northern in the Eagle River area are locating in 10 feet of water or less in and around weeds. Use a medium to large shiner under a tip-up, or a #9 Jigging Rap. All day bite. Good to excellent action.
Panfish (crappies, bluegills and perch) in the Eagle River area are locating in 10-25 feet of water off of break edges, and adjacent mud flats, or are scattered among the remaining weeds and vegetation. Use a waxie, spike or crappie minnow on a small jig or slip bobber. The perch are tight to bottom, with the crappies and gills suspending up and down the water column. Good excellent action with an all day bite.
Walleye in the Eagle River area are locating in 8 to 22 feet of water off of weed and break edges as well as over adjacent mud flats. Use a small to medium sized shiner or sucker minnow under a tip-up. A minnow head on a jigging spoon is also working well. The walleye are tight to bottom. All day bite with peaks at sunset. Good action.
Walleye, northerns, crappies and bluegills hitting hard; all in and amidst the lakes and the Wisconsin River in Wisconsin’s Marathon and Lincoln Counties (near Mosinee and Wausau).
With good ice on many central Wisconsin lakes, anglers are getting out and having great success. While a lot of attention is being focused on panfish, don’t rule out early season walleyes and northerns, as they can provide excellent action at this time of year. They both put up a hefty battle through the ice, and they make for great table fare.
For early season walleyes in the central Wisconsin area, run tip-ups baited with small walleye sized suckers or medium golden shiners. St your tip-ups in 6 to 10 feet of water (preferably with some deep water access) and run your baits about a foot off the bottom. You may catch a straggler or two throughout the day but low light periods and after dark are the best times to pick up a feeding walleye.
The action for northerns through the ice in the central Wisconsin area can be fast and furious, especially if you are set up properly and in the right area. We normally look for shallow weeds in approximately 3 to 6 feet of water; preferably an area with weeds that top out within a foot or two of the surface. Run tip-ups baited up with large golden shiners or sucker minnows and set the baits so they are right below the ice (6 inches to a foot) and get ready for the action to start. You will also want to be ready and paying attention too, because when a big northern strikes, they don’t fool around. They are off to the races and they can “spool” you in a matter of seconds.
Crappies and bluegill anglers in the central Wisconsin area are finding lots of fish in weed choked bays and downed timber in 4 to 8 feet of water. A lot of action is coming on the new tungsten jigs from Northland Tackle. Reds, yellows and greens have been very popular especially when tipped with a waxie or a couple of spikes. We have however seen better action from the larger fish when tipping our jigs with tiny plastics like wedge tails or Impulse tails and working them in a horizontal manner.
Excellent northern bite, with panfish good to excellent, and walleye action good; all in the Eagle River, Wisconsin area.
3 to 6 inches of ice on smaller Eagle River area lakes, with 1 to 3 inches on the larger, clearer lakes. About 5 to 6 inches of snow cover IN SPOTS on all lakes. Travel is still good (foot travel only!). Using creepers is not a bad idea, and taking a spud is essential for safety. Anglers are fishing back bays, and shallower areas, and in a few cases are able to get out to the main basins on some of the smaller Eagle River area lakes. Caution is strongly advised, and do not go out alone. Our suggestion remains the same: Hire one of Eagle River’s excellent, experienced guides who will put you on lots of fish in complete safety.
Northern in the Eagle River area are in 10 feet of water or less in and around weeds. Use a medium or large shiner or northern sucker on a tip-up. All day bite. Excellent action.
Panfish (crappies, bluegills and perch)are off weed and break edges or over mudflats, in the Eagle River area. Fish 8-25 feet of water. The perch will be tight to bottom, with the crappies and gills suspending up and down the water column. Use a spike or waxie on a small jig or a small minnow on a tip-down. All day bite. Good to excellent action.
Walleye in the Eagle River area are in 8 to 30 feet of water off of weed edges or break edges. Use a small to medium shiner on a tip-jp, or a jigging spoon tipped with a fathead minnow – – and many anglers are having great success using the fathead minnow’s HEAD only on their jigging spoon. The walleye are tight to bottom. Good action, with the best bite at sunset.
Anglers starting to ice fish in Eagle River, with good action for northern and panfish and a fair to good bite for walleye; all in the Eagle River, Wisconsin area.
Some of the smaller lakes in the Eagle River area are reporting 3 to 4 inches of ice, with a tad more in some of the shallower back bay areas. The larger lakes are still not safe to go out on. Indeed, all of the fishing is in fairly shallow water, as the deeper water areas are not yet accessible. Extreme caution is recommended regardless of where you want to go out. Best suggestion: Hire an Eagle River guide. They are experts on putting you on fish in complete safety.
Foot travel only on the ice right now. No vehicles of any type.
All of the fishing in the Eagle River area is happening in 10 feet of water or less in the weeds and off of weed edges. Anglers are somewhat “trapped” in the shallow water areas (back bays, shallow bays, sheltered areas), because the deeper water is not safe to go out on, yet.
Northern are putting on a good all date bite in the Eagle River area. Fish 10 feet of water or less in the weeds or off of weed edges. Use a northern sucker or shiner under a tip up.
For panfish (crappies, bluegills and perch) in the Eagle River area fish 10 feet of water or less in and around weeds. The perch will be tight to bottom with the crappies and gills up and down the water column. Use a waxie or a crappie minnow under a small jig or slip bobber. Good action. All day bite.
The walleye in the Eagle River area are in 6 to 10 feet of water in and around weeds, and off of weed edges. The walleye will be a foot off the bottom to tight to the bottom. Use a small sucker or a shiner under a tip up. Fair to good action at sunset.
Ice iffy, but walleye and bluegills hitting; all in and amidst the lakes and the Wisconsin River in Wisconsin’s Marathon and Lincoln Counties (near Mosinee and Wausau).
Ice conditions in the central Wisconsin area are iffy at best right now. We have anywhere from zero to 3 inches of ice max. Shallow bays have some ice, but the larger, more open lakes are open in many areas. With that said, we have getting out in a few locations and doing well on nice bluegills during the day and walleyes in the evening and at night. Most of our activity has been on tip-ups for the walleyes and for the gills we are running tiny Northland Mooska or Fireball jigs tipped with spikes or a waxie. We also did pretty good running some plastic (Rat Finkies and Shrimpo’s) on the larger gills and a few nice crappies this past week as well. We did have a client pull a nice musky through the ice this past week. The fish struck a tip-up baited with a golden shiner at about 7:00 pm. It was well after dark and it took ten minutes to land the low to mid 40s size fish, which was immediately unhooked and released.
Lakes are in the process of freezing over, but the ice is not safe at this time. Soon though! We will keep you posted on ice conditions and when it’s safe to come up and enjoy the legendary early-ice, ice fishing in Eagle River, Wisconsin area.
No fishing report available. Ice might still not be safe.
Open water fishing is over in the Eagle River, Wisconsin area as the lakes are all in the process of freezing over. Anglers are advised to get their ice fishing gear in shape, and we’ll report “in real time” when the ice is safe to fish and when you can enjoy the legendary action in the Eagle River area.
Ice is not safe in the central Wisconsin area, and no one should be out on it fishing; all in and amidst the lakes and the Wisconsin River in Wisconsin’s Marathon and Lincoln Counties (near Mosinee and Wausau).
With the wry temperatures we’ve been having in the central Wisconsin area, we are advising anglers to stay off the ice and wait for colder temperatures and more solid ice. Right now in central Wisconsin we have from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches of ice, and that will more than likely diminish before it gets better. There is no safe ice right now! | 2019-04-24T18:36:11Z | http://www.northernwisconsin.com/fishing/fishing-reports/2012/ |

I want to talk about endings today. This is a topic that either nobody wants to talk about or that people just can’t shut up about. We’ve all experienced them. Your relationship ends in separation, the job you quit (or got fired from), your daughter moves out to go to college (or move in with her boyfriend, or both), the move cross-country to a place you’d never been – you know what I’m talking about because you’ve been there.
In this world, all things come to an end. Endings are usually seen as unpleasant, as bad, and we’re generally very upset about them. What I see a lot of in my coaching practice are the most devastating types of endings – the ones we don’t choose ourselves – the death of a spouse or child, the divorce we didn’t see coming, getting fired/laid off, the debilitating illness that threatens to take everything away. | 2019-04-23T18:00:54Z | http://lifesnextchaptercoaching.com/blog/tag/Endings |

Je ne suis pas intervenu plus tôt sur l’assassinat du ministre libanais Pierre Gemayel, le 21 novembre, pour deux raisons. La première est que ce blog ne « réagit » pas à chaud à chaque événement et n’a pas pour but de donner « rapidement » une interprétation (J’ai donné des éléments pour comprendre le contexte libanais dans d’autres textes de ce blog) ; d’autre part, l’ensemble des médias a immédiatement désigné avant toute enquête le coupable, la Syrie, et le simple fait de s’interroger là-dessus peut apparaître suspect.
Qu’on soit clair. Je ne sais pas qui a tué Pierre Gemayel. Cet assassinat a peut-être été commis sur ordre des autorités syriennes, ou à l’initiative de tel ou tel de ses services secrets. Mais, pour l’instant, personne n’en a apporté la preuve. Je pense en revanche intéressant de s’interroger sur certaines des « preuves » contre Damas et aussi, à partir de ce tragique événement, sur le contexte libanais.
Le premier argument est connu. A qui profite le crime ? Selon ses accusateurs, le régime syrien craint la mise en place du tribunal international chargé de juger les assassins de Rafic Hariri (ce qui est probable) ; mais en quoi l’assassinat de Pierre Gemayel règle-t-il ce problème ? Dès le 25 novembre, le gouvernement libanais (en l’absence des ministres du Hezbollah et d’Amal, démissionnaires) a adopté le projet de tribunal international. De plus, il était évident que Damas serait désigné comme « responsable » de ce crime par les Etats-Unis et la France et que cela ne pourrait que renforcer le front antisyrien, au moment même où Damas multiplie les gestes d’ouverture en direction de l’Occident.
Cette position sur le tribunal vient d’être réaffirmée avec force par un communiqué commune du 24 novembre de Nabih Berri, le président du parlement libanais et chef du parti Amal et par Nasrallah, le secrétaire général du Hezbollah (je le publie en anglais plus bas).
Ammar al-Musawi, membre du bureau politique du Hezbollah, a déclaré sur Al-Jazira, le 24 novembre :« Il est clair que les forces du 14 février (Said Hariri et ses alliés) tentent de présenter le tribunal comme un sujet de discorde entre les Libanais. Je veux rappeler que, durant les négociations entre les différents dirigeants libanais, ceux-ci ont tous approuvé le tribunal international. Mais les gens en place tentent de nous empêcher de discuter le projet de résolution sur le tribunal (transmis par les Nations unies) (...) Nous discutons aussi avec les forces du 14 février de la création d’un gouvernement d’union nationale et de l’obtention d’une minorité de blocage d’un tiers. » Car la vraie question que pose l’opposition est celle-ci : le pays peut-il être dirigé contre la moitié au moins de sa population ?
Peut-on présenter la situation aussi schématiquement ? En oubliant, par exemple, le général Michel Aoun, l’opposant le plus déterminé à Damas depuis quinze ans, qui dirige le principal parti maronite et qui est allié au Hezbollah ?
O Lebanese, the recent escalation of the debate on the stand on the international tribunal and the exploitation attempts by many quarters to peddle specific political stands, has made it necessary to address you to state the truth as it is from the premise of our national and political constants and our principles, which are based on justice and truth.
Immediately after the major crime of the assassination of Martyr Prime Minister Rafiq al-Hariri and his comrades that has afflicted Lebanon, the Amal Movement and Hezbollah affirmed and announced their eagerness to work to expose this crime and those who planned and carried it out, and to punish them, given that this is a national priority that must be attained. While we were daily reiterating our commitment to fulfil all the requirements for the establishment of an international tribunal, the crime of assassination of Martyr Deputy Jubran Tuwayni took place. The issue of expanding the investigation and the establishment of an international tribunal was listed on the agenda of an extraordinary cabinet session without giving the ministers the opportunity to discuss and prepare themselves for the issue to make it easier to be adopted. But the prime minister at the time insisted on not changing the date of the session and did not give the ministers two days to pr ! epare and discuss the issue. Had the prime minister agreed to do this, it would have been [long] enough to reach the necessary conclusions and the ministers of Amal and Hezbollah would not have suspended their participation in the government because their role in the preparation, participation and adoption of the decision has been ignored.
Since the leaders of the two parties are eager to establish the tribunal and seek the truth, they kept reaffirming their support for the tribunal on every occasion until the national dialogue conference convened on 2 March 2006. The conference convened at the invitation of Speaker Nabih Birri. The first item on its agenda emphasized the need to unravel the truth about the assassination of Prime Minister Rafiq al-Hariri and its ramifications. Since the Amal Movement and Hezbollah have been constantly supporting the truth, they explicitly stated at the first session of the national dialogue that they support an international tribunal. Unanimous agreement on this item was reached in the first hour after the conference convened. Those attending paid tribute to the advanced stands of Speaker Birri and Hasan Nasrallah - stands that have been registered in the records of the conference.
Since they insist on not having their stand on the tribunal be misconstrued, the leaders of the movement and the party grasped every opportunity during central celebrations and through Speaker Birri and His Eminence Al-Sayyid Nasrallah from the time when the national dialogue conference was held until the recent consultation meeting to reaffirm their decisive stand on this issue while the parliamentary majority was trying for political reasons to cover up some of their crises by making the people believe that any political change or stand on the government or its performance stems from the rejection of the tribunal.
This showed that the facts on political issues that are related to the Israeli war on Lebanon and the economic, social and financial crises had been distorted in a manner that caused controversies. This weakened the unity that used to exist on the need to unravel the truth ; did not serve the cause of the tribunal ; and created some confusion among the people although the movement and the party kept reiterating their stand on the issue.
O Lebanese : In view of the developments that prevailed in the Lebanese arena at the end of the Israeli war of aggression on Lebanon, Speaker Birri took the initiative to send out invitations for a consultation meeting among the parties to the dialogue on the issue of the formation of a national unity government and a new election law and to prepare for what is needed on the economic and financial level. Since we were eager to remind people of our positive stand on the tribunal, the consultation meeting was an opportunity to expand the discussion to reiterate the stand on the tribunal.
The conferees spent some time discussing the issue and the Amal Movement and Hezbollah reiterated their known stand on this issue in a frank and explicit manner at the first and second consultation sessions. A limited meeting took place during the third session when Deputy Sa’d al-Hariri joined a meeting that was being held on the sidelines of the sessions between Speaker Birri and Deputy Ali Hasan Khalil on one side and Deputy Muhammad Ra’d and Minister Muhammad Funaysh and Deputy Husayn al-Hajj al-Hasan on the other. Deputy Al-Hariri proposed to the conferees a formula based on reaching agreement on the principle of the establishment of an international tribunal, discussing the details related to this tribunal in side meetings among the three parties before submitting it to the cabinet to ensure its expeditious and unanimous adoption, and approving at the same time the formation of a national unity government in which the opposition forces will have more tha ! n one third of the portfolios, where effective participation will be ensured, and which will be the introduction to the discussion and settlement of controversial issues.
Since we were eager to settle the issue of the tribunal, we made many contacts in the wake of this meeting that was held before the consultation session was suspended to expedite receiving the draft project on the tribunal to implement what was agreed upon. The reply came at 2200 [local time] on Friday night that preceded the last session of consultations and after Prime Minister Fu’ad al-Sanyurah had contacted Speaker Birri, who stressed to him not to set a date for the cabinet meeting on this issue before the meeting that was scheduled to be held on Saturday - that is, not before carrying out the implementation steps that were agreed upon during the limited meeting with Deputy Sa’d al-Hariri to facilitate the adoption of the draft resolution. This would give the ministers and the relevant committee the time to study the details of the draft project on the tribunal. But we were surprised to find out at the onset of the session the next day, Saturday, 11 Novem ! ber, that there was an intensive campaign depicting us as if we were ready to barter the international tribunal for political demands while no mention was made of what took place in the limited meeting that was initiated by Deputy Sa’d al-Hariri. Monday, 13 November 2006 was then set as a date for the next cabinet meeting without discussing this with anyone and without taking into consideration all the statements we made saying that we were ready to discuss the draft project with a positive attitude and open mind. This was accompanied by ending the political discussion on the basic provision that was listed on the cabinet agenda dealing with the formation of a national unity government because key leaders of the majority decided that this demand could not be discussed.
O Lebanese : In view of the fact that the crime of assassination against Deputy and Minister Martyr Pierre al-Jumayyil is being exploited in order to continue defaming our stand on the international tribunal, we have related the above facts in order to emphasize our firm support for this tribunal in accordance with the mechanisms that safeguard constitutional procedures and secure the attainment of the aspired objective. We say this while we insist on our legitimate right to call for a genuine political participation and we will not submit to any blackmail to have us change our stand on this participation. The confrontation by the other side of our legitimate political demands by resorting to the international tribunal to confuse public opinion and compensate for its weakness certainly does not serve the cause of truth and justice. Therefore, all of this will not dissuade us from committing ourselves before the Lebanese people to continue our call and have reco ! urse to the available democratic means within the laws and regulations in force. We will be compelled to use these means if the other side remains intransigent and flouts the pillars of Lebanese national accord. We ask God to stand witness to what we say.
Pour ceux qui comme moi ne se satisfont pas des discours convenus et des problématiques sans issus, quelques aspects permettant une approche dépassionnée.
Syrie–Liban : intégration régionale ou dilution ?
"Les forces du 14 février" sont ceux qui ont pris position contre la Syrie, le jour de la mort de R. Hariri.
Le camp "du 14 mars" (« qui fait référence à la manifestation géante après la mort de Hariri »), représente les forces du 14 février plus les partisans du general Aoun, ce que se garde bien de préciser le journaliste de Libération, et pour cause : comme indiqué par A. Gresh, le General Aoun anti-Syrien s’est depuis rallié au Hezbollah "pro-syrien". D’ou le refus des gens du Hezbollah et de Aoun lui meme de désigner les "anti-Syriens" (pourquoi pas pro-Americains ? la réponse est évidente) autrement que par la premiere appelation.
« Les forces du 14 mars, qui contrôlent les deux tiers de l’Assemblée et le poste de Premier ministre, sont soutenues par Paris et Washington, qui voient, dans leur victoire électorale du printemps 2005, qui a suivi le retrait syrien du Liban, un triomphe de la démocratie. » La encore, dans son simplisme outrancier ou plutot sa mauvaise foi, ce journaliste oublie de décrire les "subtilités" libanaises des alliances électorales. Ce camp (du 14 fevrier donc) n’aurait pu obtenir la majorité sans l’appui des.... Chiites du Hezbollah et de Amal qui avaient fait alliance avec Joumblatt et Hariri, et doivent s’en mordre les doigts maintenant. Malgré ce contexte défavorable, le camp du General Aoun s’est quand meme assuré 21 siéges, ce qui fait du general, comme le fait remarquer A.Gresh, le principal dirigeant Maronite. Nul doute que si l’alliance Hezbollah/Aoun s’était faite avant ces élections, la majorité aurait été toute autre. Mais il n’est pas sur que Paris et Washington y aurait vu un triomphe de la démocratie.
Enfin le systeme électoral libanais n’est pas exactement démocratique, puisque obéissant au sacro-saint "respect des équilibres communautaires".
Faut-il pleurer avec Gershon Baskin ?
Désolé, je ne peux pas. Je sais que David Grossman a, dernièrement, relancé avec succès la machine à jérémiades, mais ce n’est pas une raison pour embrayer. Assez pleuré après avoir tiré ! Cela fait des années qu’un bonhomme comme Gideon Lévy rend compte de ses rencontres avec ceux qu’Israël a besoin d’écraser. Gershon Baskin n’aurait-il pas lu Haaretz pendant tout ce temps ?
Et puis cette manie du paradis perdu sioniste. « Quand sommes-nous devenus aveugles aux souffrances des autres ? » : parce qu’il y a un avant où éclatait le souci sioniste de l’autre ? Les sionistes « de gauche » se paient la tête des autres. Il serait temps qu’on leur ôte leurs masques à simagrées au lieu de pleurer avec eux.
Aux dernières nouvelles, Gilad Shalit est toujours vivant. Ce n’est pas le cas des morts de Beit Hanoun. Je ne jette, disant cela, pas la pierre à Noam Shalit. Mais je n’ai aucune pitié pour Gershon Baskin. Comme disait l’autre, improvisant sur du Chateaubriand : « Il faut économiser les coups de pied au cul étant donné le nombre de nécessiteux ». Voilà un nécessiteux.
Il se tient, mercredi prochain à Bruxelles, une manifestation en faveur de la libération de Shalit et des deux autres soldats. Après avoir essayé la force (combien de morts, encore ?), on va essayer l’Europe. Je n’imagine pas que les manifestants demanderont la libération des 10.000 prisonniers palestiniens, ni plus sobrement encore, celle des 3.000.000 d’otages Palestiniens.
Je pense que le Liban est malheureusement au centre d’intérêts et d’enjeux internationaux qui le dépassent et dépassent son peuple avide de liberté et de démocratie ! Avoir pour voisin Israël est la pire des choses !
On en revient tout frais-tout ravigoré, prêt pour le coup de pied au c... à Gershon Baskin.
Liban - La saga des Gemayel : la Phalange - Stefano Chiarini, il manifesto, 24 novembre 2006.
De l’assassinat de Gemayel à la crise libanaise. A qui profite le crime ?
« Naturellement, la décision d’établir une cour spéciale pour étudier les assassinats de Hariri et Gemayel sont des obstacles sérieux [a un rapprochement entre la Syrie et les Etats-Unis].
Cette assertion de Landis me semble on ne peut plus pertinente, surtout si l’on épouse une autre récente assertion, celle du célèbre William Pfaff qui affirme que Bush vit maintenant hors de la réalité (Bush left reality behind). Si on ajoute la déclaration du professeur Rabinovich, on peut penser qu’il est dans l’intéret Busho-israélien de mettre hors-jeu toute tentative de rapprochement Syro-Americain. Et cet assassinat vient a point nommé. Une sorte d’“initiative”.
57% souhaitent que leur gouvernement entame des discussions avec les Syriens, et 59% redoutent une nouvelle guerre « au Nord » si de telles discussions n’étaient pas engagées. Il est vrai que 54% refusent l’idée d’un retrait du Golan. Mais il ne faut pas trop demander d’un coup.
"La perspective de combats dans la grande périphérie de N’Djamena n’est pas à exclure dans les prochaines vingt-quatre heures", a indiqué l’ambassade de France qui a demandé aux ressortissants français de la capitale de ne pas quitter leur domicile dès la tombée de la nuit.
Les autorités tchadiennes craignent une attaque de la capitale similaire à celle d’avril dernier, qui avait fait des centaines de morts. Dans un communiqué publié dimanche, le gouvernement tchadien a qualifié les opérations rebelles des dernières quarante-huit heures d’"opération de grande envergure tendant à le déstabiliser".
Il a accusé comme à l’habitude le Soudan et, pour la première fois, l’Arabie saoudite d’en être les principaux inspirateurs. Le Soudan et l’Arabie saoudite "équipent, entraînent les mercenaires, et leur assurent la logistique nécessaire pour attaquer aujourd’hui le Tchad sur plusieurs fronts à l’est", a affirmé le porte-parole du gouvernement, Hourmadji Moussa Doumgor. "La guerre imposée aujourd’hui au Tchad relève d’une guerre pour la promotion de l’islamisme militant prônée par Al-Qaida de Ben Laden, qui n’épargnera aucun pays de la sous-région", a-t-il ajouté."
Mr monsieur Gresh, je croix que vous n’avez pas conduit le raisonnement jusqu’au bout, parceque la meme question pourrait etre dirigée contre Israel, et beneficier de la meme analyse que pour le cas de la Syrie, autrement dit, si la reponse est par l’affirmative, Israel serait le seul beneficiaire du crime.
• En ce qui concerne Bush, si c’est le commanditaire, il ne le ferait que dans l’interet d’Israel bien entendu, enfoncer la Syrie, ennemi potentiel.
• La France n’a pas les memes motivations que Bush (affinité avec les chretiens Maronites)et n’irait jusqu’au crime.
• Pour l’Iran et le HIZB, le meme raisonnement concernant le cas Syrien, pourrait leur etre appliqué.
Il ne reste donc plus qu’Israel, le seul coupable à qui profite bel et bien ce crime.
• créer les conditions adequates pour une confrontation confessionnelle, Guerre civile au Liban, qui conduirait ineluctablement à un partage de l’etat, et création d’une entité chretienne Maronite pro-israel au sud, dans le but de securiser la frontiere nord d’Israel.
• Stigmatiser l’interventionnisme de la Syrie, et y favoriser une invasion Américaine.
• Exacerber la diabolisation de l’Iran, comme etat terroriste, et amplifier la pression au sujet de son programme nucleaire.
Se sont exactement les consequences de cet assassinat, comme d’ailleurs celui de Hariri.
[...]israel a été déjà impliquée dans plusieurs assassinats visant à discréditer certains régimes, par exemple, dans les années 50, israel a fait assassiner plusieurs ressortissants britanniques en egypte, pour discréditer le gouvernement égyptien aux yeux des occidentaux, la découverte du fait que les assassinats ont été commis par israel (qui n’a pas hésité à assassiner des ressortissants britanniques alors que la Grande Bretagne était l’alliée d’israel, dans le seul but de salir la réputation de l’Egypte), entraîna la démission de david ben gourion en 1963, cette affaire fut connue sous le nom de "l’affaire Lavon".
Le MOSSAD n’hesite pas à assassiner meme des juifs pour diverses raisons, créer la phobie de l’antisemitisme, et encourager l’Aleya.

"Le premier argument est connu. A qui profite le crime ?"
C’est moins qu’un argument, et il n’y a rien de plus éloigné d’une enquête objective que celle qui commencerait par cette méthode !
Tout d’abord, que doit-on appeler "profiter" ? Ah oui, évidemment, dans le cas du casse d’une banque, ou quand le mari infidèle tente d’éliminer sa génante épouse, il paraît facile de répondre à cette question, mais en politique, et notamment lorsuqe l’instabilité est la règle ?
Posons-nous la même question à propos des attentats terroristes du 11/09/2001 : a qui profita le crime ? Au coupable désigné ?
De ce fait, poser la question du "profit tiré du crime" est une plaisanterie.
Bert, ce n’est pas parce que c’est difficile qu’il faut que vous baissiez les bras. Allons, courage !
Pierre Gemayel n’était cependant pas un homme de pouvoir puisqu’on avait surtout parlé de lui il y a deux ans quand, en soutenant la « supériorité génétique » des chrétiens libanais, il argumenta que ceux-ci exprimaient « la qualité » contre la « quantité » des musulmans"
La démocratie version 2006 n’est plus celle qui respecte les lois et les droits de l’homme inscrit dans les constitutions, mais c’est bien le ralliement ou non à Washington.
Le Hizbollah et Michel Aoun demandent le respect de la constitution du pays, ils représentent un danger pour la paix, pour leur peuple.
Le pion Saad Hariri et son clan de démocrates version 2006 Walid Jumblat qui court aux état-unis voir Condolisa Rice tout deux unis par les liens d’une politique américano-saoudienne , eux, devraient représenter les sauveurs du Liban libre.
les nations arabo-musulmanes ont érigé en religion d’état le meurtre de citoyens ; même Arafat la Limace n’a pas été assassiné par le mossad, alors les déblatérations de Ahmed Saint-Yves sont malvenues.
"Bert, ce n’est pas parce que c’est difficile qu’il faut que vous baissiez les bras. Allons, courage !"
Je ne suis pas enquêteur, ni politique ! Mes bras n’ont aucune utilité en l’espèce !
Le mot "difficile" n’est pas opportun, pas plus que le mot "profite" dans "à qui profite le crime". J’évoquais par exemple l’assassinat de Kennedy : Pensez-vous connaître un jour la vérité ? Et relativement aux attentats du 11/09, pensez-vous qu’il y aura un jour ce qui permet de croire à l’état de droit, à savoir une enquête indépendante, des conclusions policières aboutissant à des inculpations sur des bases rendues publiques, puis un éventuel procès si les mis en cause peuvent être appréhendés ? Et concernant Hariri, ou Gemayel ?
Le reste n’est que spéculation, communication, procès d’intentions...mais cela n’a rien d’objectif. Il ne s’agit pas de céder devant la difficulté, mais de constater le renoncement de ceux qui sont censés défendre "la justice" aux rêgles mêmes de ladite justice. Dans ce cas, simple constat, nous ne connaitrons que la vérité des vainqueurs, de ceux qui auront le dernier mot.
Vous avez raison Bert, mais il se peut que quelques familles Syriennes préfèrent quand même qu’on cherche à qui profite le crime, pour qu’on puisse déterminer à qui il ne profite pas et ne pas donner suite à l’appel au lynchage de Monsieur Geoges W. Bush, président des États-Unis d’Amérique.
Mais peut-être que vous n’appartenez pas à une famille syrienne Bert ?
"Mais peut-être que vous n’appartenez pas à une famille syrienne Bert ?"
"quelques familles Syriennes préfèrent quand même qu’on cherche à qui profite le crime, pour qu’on puisse déterminer à qui il ne profite pas et ne pas donner suite à l’appel au lynchage de Monsieur Geoges W. Bush, président des États-Unis d’Amérique."
Je lis dans le dernier n° de "aviation week" : "Fears of nuclear-armed rogue states and global terrorism may be bad for international security, but the world’s most dangerous places have benefited one sector of the US economy : foreign military sales are set to hit a near-hit record this year"
A qui profite donc le crime ?
27 novembre 2006 10:22, 27 novembre 2006 12:22 représente une seule et meme personne bien sur, et toujours les memes crétineries et le meme récidivisme maladif.
33% des enfants de Sderot (ville Israélienne cible des "qassam" palestiniens) souffrent d’un désordre psychique appelé “stress post traumatique” selon le Haaretz. Et 100% des enfants palestiniens ajoute rageusement “Angryarab”.
Olmert a entendu Grossman : il propose aux Palestiniens de s’engager "dans une nouvelle voie". Il est prêt à leur faire "des offres très généreuses". Il est prêt à se "retirer de nombreux territoires en échange de la paix avec les Palestiniens". C’est Grossman qui doit être content : la Gauche comme le Droite, voici "les offres les plus généreuses" d’Olmert. "Nous avons commencé avant-hier", ajoute Olmert, guilleret.
Je n’ai rien vu, hormis la mort de combattants palestiniens ce W.E. encore et celle d’une femme palestinienne - mais qu’est-ce qu’elle avait, celle-là, à traîner comme ça, dehors ?
Il y avait déjà eu les "offres les plus généreuses" de Barak. Qu’en ont fait les Palestiniens ? Rien. Bah, ces Palestiniens ne savent jamais saisir le bien qu’on leur jette. Des manchots. Des ingrats, je vous dis. Tous des manchots et des ingrats.
1% c’est déjà 1% de trop , quel que soit le camp . Mais est-on obligé de prendre parti ?
Que pensez-vous des déclarations d’Ehoud Olmert ? Nuage de fumée ? Déclaration sincère ? Grosse blague pour faire rire à une Bahr’Mitzvah ?
Le très bien informé blog Loubnan ya Loubnan souvent cité ici évoque un danger imminent qui n’apparaît pas dans vos analyses : la forte pression pour une partition du Liban, afin d’affaiblir les composantes qui "ne plaisent pas" à l’occident et israel, et préfigurer sans doute ce qu’il adviendrait du moyen orient abandonné sous leur coupe. Qu’en pensez-vous ?

Plus réaliste : La guerre civile aura t-elle lieu ?
Je reconnais avoir rode sur ce site plusieurs jours a l’affut d’une analyse a chaud d’Alain Gresh. Il est tout a votre honneur, Monsieur Gresh, de ne pas vous livrer a des speculations intempestives.
En plus de tous les points que vous avez deja releve ci-dessus, plusieurs negligences sont frappantes dans le traitement de cette affaire dans les medias.
Nullepart ils ne mentionnent les recentes declarations indignees de Pierre Gemayel, qui deplorait que les refugies chretiens du Chouf (1983) n’etaient toujours pas indemnises tandis que le gouvernement Sanioura cherchait a concurrencer le Hezbollah dans la course a la renconstruction et au dedommagement des victimes de la guerre de juillet. Ceci est une attaque frontale envers son allie de circonstance Walid Joumblatt, aui aurait quelques comptes a rendre quant a l’attribution des fonds qui lui ont ete confies pour l’indemnisation des populations deplacees. Le front du 14 mars pourrait bien etre moins unis que ce que les medias occidentaux refletent.
De meme, il est connu que le pouvoir Syrien s’appuie sur des services de securite affiliees a des pouvoirs parfois opposes. Les accusations de l’ancien vice-president Syrien Abdel Halim Khaddam a l’encontre du pouvoir de Damas quant a son implication directe dans l’assassinat de Rafic Al-Hariri, ont ete presentees copmme credible dans la presse. Sa campagnem,depuis sa residence Parisienne, pour un changement de regime a Damas a mis l’Elysee dans l’embarras puisqu’elle rendait evidente le detournement de l’affaire a des fins politiques. Il est bien possible que des responsables Syriens soient a l’origine du meurtre de Gemayel, mais il serait etonnant qu’ils appartiennent au clan deu president Bashar Al-Assad, dont le regime etait en train de se refaire une sante sur la scene internationale notamment grace a ses allies locaux au Liban et a leurs partenaires. Il eut ete peu opportun de leur mettre des batons dans les roues alors qu’ils semblaient en position d’ebranler le gouvernement pro-Americain de Fo’ad Al-Sanioura. En revanche, Khaddam qui a mise sur la chute du regime aurait bien interet a maintenir l’isolement de Damas.
Malgre cela, toutes les analyses que j’ai lues a ce jour mettent en causes "la Syrie" ou "les Syriens", depeints comme une entite homogene.
En reponse a la contribution de Monsieur Bert, la question "a qui profite le crime ?" vise a identifier les suspects potentiels et leurs mobiles afin de determiner quelles pistes sont les plus credibles. Des indices peuvent ensuite renforcer une piste ou une autre. En l’absence de preuves formelles dans l’immediat cette approche est parfaitement judicieuse.
« 1% c’est déjà 1% de trop , quel que soit le camp . Mais est-on obligé de prendre parti ? ». Mais non tj, il ne s’agit pas de nier les souffrance des enfants israéliens, mais de dénoncer le fait de considérer les palestiniens de moins de 12 ans non pas comme des enfants mais comme des terroristes.
En fait, s’il est vrai que la “religion” Druze est dérivée du Chiisme, il est important de faire 2 remarques : elle n’est pas plus “extrémiste” que n’importe quelle autre religion au Liban ; et à part d’en etre un dérivé historique elle ne ressemble en rien au Chiisme ni d’ailleurs au Sunnisme.
Le passage : « La loyauté envers la communauté passe avant toute autre loyauté - et certainement avant toute loyauté envers le Liban. » ne peut etre compris sans un autre plus loin : « C’est lui [le chef de la communauté] qui distribue tous les postes « appartenant » à sa communauté. » C’est ce qu’exprimait G.Corm : "Je compare souvent le système communautaire à un système totalitaire. Chaque communauté exerce un totalitarisme sur ses sujets. Ce système est usé mais continue parce qu’il est tout le temps alimenté par le système régional et les influences extérieures sur le Liban."
Sans remettre en cause les informations souvent pertinentes et les articles en général plutôt bienvenus de Robert Fisk, on peut tout de même mettre un bémol au titre que vous lui décernez (’un des meilleurs spécialistes du pays’).
Robert Fisk a tout de même répété à pusieurs reprises que c’est le Hezbollah qui a provoqué la guerre avec Israël (’le Hezbollah a provoqué la guerre en capturant deux soldats israéliens et en en tuant trois autres, le 12 juillet’ dit-il) . C’est au minimum un sacré raccourci, et éventuellement un mensonge. S’en tenir à cette présentation des faits sans développer est en tout cas peu acceptable de la part d’un ’spécialiste’.
Pourquoi ne pas présenter la chose autrement et dire que la capture de soldats israëliens a été l’excuse choisie par Israël pour déclencher une guerre qui était de toute façon planifiée de longue date ? Si on doit se focaliser sur les prisonniers, pourquoi ne pas parler de tous les civils, militaires et politiques faits prisonniers par Israël depuis des années ?
Tout ça pour dire que certaines déclarations de Robert Fisk sont un peu courtes pour un ’spécialiste’.
J. Cook l’a bien montré ici et la.
D’autre part la communauté Libanaise est elle meme egalement « répartie dans le monde entier ».
En réaction aux commentaires de Jean, les “Forces Libanaises” de Geagea, de par leur extrémisme, sont les plus enclins a oeuvrer en faveur de cette partition.
Il est a craindre que, si jamais cette partition se réalise, une guerre intra-communautaire se déclare au sein de la communauté Chrétienne, du fait de la représentativité trés minoritaire du parti de Geagea au sein de cette communauté. Comme d’ailleurs peut etre des guerres intra-communautaires au sein d’autres communautés.
Cette partition ne me semble pas du tout pouvoir assurer la paix civile.
Exusez moi Mr Grsh de revenir sur l’affaire du LOBBY .
D.B. : Bon, deux autres exemples, plus contemporains, du pouvoir de l’AIPAC sur le contrôle de la politique depuis les coulisses et sur la scène.
J.B. : Essentiellement ce que Clinton a compris, tout comme Bush le jeune – l’actuel George Bush – c’est que si vous ne pouvez pas vous battre contre eux, alors il faut les rejoindre.
Il y a eu un article dans le quotidien juif israélien "Ha’aretz" qui décrivait la judaïsation du Département d’Etat.
Ce que vous avez vu dans l’administration Clinton a été une bataille des sionistes libéraux pour soutenir Israël, à l’intérieur de l’administration contre les supporters extrême droite du Likoud à l’extérieur de l’administration. Ainsi, vous aviez tout un débat autour de ce qu’allait être la politique américaine, partagée être entre ces deux groupes.
Dennis Ross est maintenant avec l’AIPAC. Martin Indyk, qui a créé "l’Institut de Washington pour la Politique au Proche-Orient", vitrine de choix de l’AIPAC, est entré dans l’administration grâce à Clinton et s’est vu dans la foulée accorder la citoyenneté : il est Australien d’origine. Ainsi, vous voyez leurs allées et venues.
Note de Jeff Blankfort : Pour ceux qui ont peut-être espéré que ce nouveau lobby pro-israélien allait fondamentalement différer du bon vieil AIPAC, cet article devrait mettre un terme à leur illusion. Ils apprendront d’ailleurs ici même qu’un ancien membre ultra-sioniste du Congrès US, Mel Levine, en est un des initiateurs. Il semble bien que cette « nouvelle » opération ne soit qu’une entourloupe des sionistes libéraux, afin d’enterrer la controverse et le débat autour du pouvoir et de l’influence du lobby israélien, soulevés par l’analyse des professeurs Mearsheimer et Walt, par le professeur Tony Judt, ainsi que, tout récemment, par James Petras, dans son nouveau livre Le Pouvoir d’Israël aux USA (The Power of Israel in the United States).
Merci Saintyve pour ces précisions, concernant, l’influence lobby pro-israélien aux USA.
Mais rassurez-vous, je n’ai aucun doute sur son existence.
Mes doutes portent sur le sens qu’il faut donner au mot "influence".
A force de vouloir tout expliquer par cette influence, on risque de passer à côté de certaines réalités.
La publicité de l’action de ce lobby focalise l’attention, sur son rôle. Mais certains de ses membres peuvent plus discrètement, utilisent le lobby à des fins personnelles (Geoge Soros par ex.).
L’administration US ne se prive pas non plus pour rejeter sur le lobby la responsabilité d’actions controversées (refus des choix démocratiques du peuple palestinien par ex.).
Je ne doute pas non plus que le lobby pro-israélien joue un rôle dans le réchauffement de la planète, mais je ne suis pas sûr que ce rôle soit significatif.
Je ne pense pas que la politique que mènent les US depuis le renversement du Shah, soit dictée par le seul lobby pro-isralélien, ou alors, il aurait remplacé le "lobby pro-iranien".
Et même si les US étaient totalement influencés par le lobby "pro-israélien", encore faudrait-il préciser de quels israléliens il serait le représentant, ou alors il faudrait le renommer en lobby "pro-israéliens", car la société isralélienne n’est pas monolithique.
Peut-être que certains israléliens ont intérêt à la mort de Pierre Gemayel, mais pas Israel. Parce que l’argument qui consiste à l’expliquer par une volonté de déstabiliser un pays déjà déstabilisé n’est pas recevable.
Je n’arrive pas à réconcilier les actions US sur le terrain, avec l’activité du lobby pro-israélien, par contre je les comprend très bien dans un contexte de guerre économique (et la ça tombe bien parce qu’en temps qu’européen je me sent particulièrement visé).
Voici un point de vue lumineux, celui de Jonathan Cook. Un journaliste et écrivain basé à Nazareth, Israël. Son livre, “Blood and Religion : The Unmasking of the Jewish State ” a été publié par Pluto Press.
La Syrie, un bouc émissaire commode pour la mort de Gémayel, par Jonathan Cook.

Après ces tires croisés il ne faut pas s’étonner que des balles aillent se perdre au Liban.

Traduction (partielle) du “communiqué commun du 24 novembre de Nabih Berri, le président du parlement libanais et chef du parti Amal et par Nasrallah, le secrétaire général du Hezbollah”, a partir du 8ieme paragraphe.
On se rappelle qu’a l’instigation de Nabih Berri (président du parlement) un dialogue national s’était ouvert le 6 novembre. Plusieurs sessions ont eu lieu avant que le point de rupture ne soit atteint.
« Une réunion limitée a eu lieu lors de la troisième session lorsque le député Saad Al-Hariri a joint une réunion [entre Chiites] qui se tenait en marge de la réunion.
Le Député Al-Hariri [Saad, fils de feu Rafic] a proposé aux conférenciers une formule reposant sur le fait d’atteindre un accord quant au principe de l’établissement d’un tribunal international, et sur les détails liés à ce tribunal lors de réunions en coulisse entre les trois parties [Hezbollah, Amal, et Hariri] avant de le soumettre au cabinet [ministériel] pour assurer son adoption expéditive et unanime, et approuver en même temps la formation d’un gouvernement d’unité nationale dans lequel les forces d’opposition auront plus d’un tiers des postes de ministre, où une participation efficace sera assurée, et qui sera l’introduction à la discussion et au règlement des questions controversées.
« Mais nous fumes étonné de découvrir au début de la session le jour suivant, samedi 11 Novembre, qu’il y avait une campagne intensive nous dépeignant comme étant prêts à donner notre accord sur le tribunal international contre des satisfactions politiques tandis qu’aucune mention n’était faite de ce qui avait eu lieu lors de la réunion limitée lancée a l’instigation du député Saad Al-Hariri. La date du Lundi 13 novembre 2006 a été alors fixée comme date de la prochaine réunion du cabinet ministériel sans discuter de ceci avec quiconque [sous entendu quiconque de l’opposition] et sans prendre en compte toutes nos déclarations disant que nous étions prêts à discuter du projet de résolution de manière positive et l’esprit ouvert.
Faux, Saint-Yves. Cet article n’existe pas.
une photo qui convaincra peut etre Mr Ayad, le journaliste de Libération, que les choses « ne sont pas ce qu’elles paraissent etre » au Liban : « La « guerre des portraits » empoisonne le climat à Achrafieh » (Achrafieh est le principal quartier Chrétien de Beyrouth, et les portraits en question sont ceux de Aoun et Geagea ). ....quelque 300 militaires ont dû intervenir pour empêcher militants des FL (Geagea) et du CPL (Aoun) d’en venir aux mains.
• Aux Fans du blog Loubnan ya Loubnan : le Nidal nouveau est arrivé : toujours le meme gout.
• Plus sérieusement, le trés fiable Ghassan Ben Gido, envoyé special d’Al Jazeera au Liban, vient d’annoncer que le début des manifestations du camp anti-Americain aura lieu dans les 72 heures. Espérons que l’armée Libanaise restera unie pour éviter le bain de sang.
Al Jazeera rapporte que la majorité vient de prendre une initiative pour debloquer la situation. Lors d’une rencontre, Amine jemael a fait des propositions à Nabih Berri. Volonté de sortie de crise ou manouvres pour retarder les manifs ? L’avenir nous le dira.
Mais peut etre que Landis est un Syrien déguisé en Américain ?
Compassion. Celle du conseil des droits de l’homme de l’ONU qui vient de voter (45 voix pour/1 contre-Canada-) une résolution proposée par des pays musulmans : arret des implantations dans les territoires occupés, désarmement des colons, et démantèlement des colonies existantes.
Elle a été qualifiée de résolution allant dans le sens d’une « perpétuation du conflit », par l’embassadeur Israelien a l’ONU.
Qui a parlé de partition ?
• Les sacrifices des dizaines de milliers de partisans et de sympathisants dont les souffrances et les douleurs [etc..].
bonjour monsieur gresh, le crif parle d’une livre sur votre journal et israel. l’avez vous lu ? qu’en pensez vous ?
K merci pour la traduction, j’ai pas pu la lire in inglish. Pierre, l’influence du LOBBY dont il estquestion, est celle qui concerne le soutien inconditionnel à Israel, meme contre les interets US. et non pas de la politique exterieure US en général.
C’est ainsi que le Département d’Etat qui a historiquement été considéré comme un ennemi par l’AIPAC, plus enclins à soutenir les états arabes et les intérêts pétroliers de l’Amérique – c’est assez intéressant – a été littéralement disculpé et un certain nombre de lobbyistes juifs libéraux, comme Dennis Ross, ont été introduits dans l’administration Clinton.
BEYROUTH (AP) - Un militant islamiste syrien, qui tentait d’entrer illégalement au Liban, a déclenché mardi sa ceinture d’explosifs après une fusillade avec les forces de sécurité syriennes près de la frontière, faisant deux blessés, a annoncé le gouvernement syrien.
Omar Abdullah, 28 ans, connu aussi sous le nom de code d’Omar Hamra, était l’un des chefs du groupe islamiste "Tawhid et Jihad". Alors qu’il tentait de franchir la frontière, côté syrien, au poste de Jdeidet Yabous avec de faux papiers, il a ouvert le feu sur les forces de sécurité syriennes, avant de tenter de prendre la fuite, selon le communiqué du ministère syrien de l’Intérieur."
surtout, n’en parlez pas, ça risquerait de nous faire rire !!
Saintyves, si l’action du lobby israélien "est celle qui concerne le soutien inconditionnel à Israel, meme contre les interets US" elle a toute la sympathie de l’européen que je suis.
Comment fonctionne le lobby sioniste aux USA.
29 novembre 2006 a parlé de l’attentat-suicide en Syrie à 10:36. Devoir accompli, il a ri. J’en suis fort aise. Si 29 novembre 2006 10:36 éprouve le besoin de s’offrir un vrai rire qui soulage, un rire qui soulage vraiment, il peut toujours reposter en gras la formidable conclusion de son message. Puis rire de lui. Promis, je rirai aussi.
Haaretz, 29/11/06 "Chirac : France, U.S. agree there is no point talking to Syria"
"The conditions for an honest dialogue with Syria do not exist."
L’éditorial d’Ignacio Ramonet, Labyrinthe palestinien, dans le Monde diplomatique de décembre, fait froid dans le dos.
"Vers l’abîme. On sent confusément que les souffrances subies par les Palestiniens, les solidarités de plus en plus audacieuses qu’un tel tourment entraîne au Proche-Orient, et les violentes réactions de défense d’Israël, risquent de conduire le monde vers l’abîme."
Yann, Mr Chirac, habituellement si pragmatique, devient incroyablement va t-en guerre dés que les intérets de la famille Hariri sont en jeu.
Mais le plus choquant est qu’il ait qualifié l’assassinat de Rafic Hariri de "crime contre l’humanité" au moment meme ou les Libanais etaient endeuillés aprés les massacres de centaines de civils par l’armée israelienne.
Noam Shalit et la "compassion"
Gershon Baskin a dit « compassion » ? Alors peut-être faut-il relire Baskin en ayant à l’esprit ces mots de Noam Shalit.
J’avais dit que je ne jetais pas la pierre à Noam Shalit. Aujourd’hui, c’est pure « compassion » si je ne le fais pas. | 2019-04-21T02:51:55Z | https://blog.mondediplo.net/2006-11-26-De-l-assassinat-de-Gemayel-a-la-crise-libanaise |
Saban just hates the fact he can not stop it. He believes that everything in football should be catered to him, and his beliefs. He is a spoiled coach JUST like the fans of his program.
I don't know why DA left when he did, but him staying for another year and having to play through the mess we had last season would not have benefitted him at all, IMO. He made the best decision by getting out when he did - at least he's playing and getting paid by the Canadian's. He wouldn't have played last year. It would have been 2011 and it would have been nice if Trotter had someone else to throw to other than Blake. It would have helped him and us. Well it would have been at least another side of the field to throw a pick on you mean.
She didn't leave her SI job on her own accord. They didn't renew her contract. Her career path is going in the wrong direction......from a NYT reporter to an internet blogger. The more outrageous the story, the more hits she'll have to her new site (started last week). Oh wow even better. Thanks for the correction.
FIFY My guess is that this is her method of getting a job interview. Look how publications are hiring up idiots like Thayer Evans and Pete Thamel. She's showing them that she can pull in big numbers with semi-truths and get her name mentioned all over the sports media world. I completely agree. I completely forgot about Thayer Evans. I wonder if those two are BFF now. They are both bottom feeders.
The problem is Selena Roberts left her job at SI, and started her own website. Since the release of the website I do not think she has had a HUGE story. If this turns out to be any truth at all (which I doubt) her website would be booming. Who would benefit from this? Selena Roberts. Let's be honest with all the reports of "Auburn Paying players" this would be an article that is half believable by the media. She has a shady past, and no better than a bama blogger at this point shooting for the moon, and hoping to hit it big.
Is there a group getting together for the LSU/AU game.
I will have to get with you on this. The 2nd year I lived in Nashville Vandy beat our...you know what. This year I do not want to miss retaliation for that loss!
Well at least he was half right! Will have to see if I can stir up some pictures from the show. I guess Alabama will claim that he wore their shirt the whole time since they like to claim things like ummm championships that share with other teams.
So this is my first time posting on these forums so I hope I am in the right thread here. So I did not see another post about it, but somewhere in Alabama Journey had a concert. I heard down the line that the lead singer was wearing an Auburn shirt. I am a huge journey fan, and an Auburn alum, and that would be amazing regardless if he cared what it meant. Also, a huge stab to the hearts of all the bammers. Also, these are by far the best Auburn forums around. It actually is a family atmosphere which you will NEVER find in any other college in the world. I had to add that in, and War Eagle! | 2019-04-23T07:53:42Z | https://www.aufamily.com/forums/profile/32422-aarona/ |
Students have the right to vote in the towns and cities where they attend college if they so choose.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld this right in Symm v. United States (1979). However, students have sometimes been confronted with false information and hostile community members that have tried to prevent them from voting where they attend school.
Through our Campus Vote Project, FELN has been active in supporting students’ right to vote by encouraging election officials and college administrators to work closely with students to ensure that students have equal access to voter registration and voting. Studies show that young people are interested in policy issues and the democratic process, but restrictions such as confusing residency rules and strict identification requirements create barriers to voting. These restrictions particularly affect college students because they are new to the process and more likely to move frequently. In addition, local election officials are sometimes hostile to the voting rights of college students, due to the misconception that students are not invested in the community and plan to leave upon graduation.
CVP offers resources and advice on working with election officials and college administrators to achieve specific goals that allow students to participate in our democracy. Another goal of CVP is to help colleges and universities use a variety of methods to educate students about registration and voting. When this information comes directly from a familiar source, students are more likely to pay attention and trust that the messages are accurate.
The Higher Education Act requires that colleges and universities widely distribute voter registration forms on campus and individually to all students physically in attendance. Many campuses can do more to fulfill this requirement, and CVP aims to help administrators incorporate civic engagement into campus life.
For our student voting guides, administrator best practices, campus toolkit to get students involved, and other information on student voting, visit www.CampusVoteProject.org and follow us on Facebook and Twitter. | 2019-04-25T15:46:05Z | http://fairelectionsnetwork.com/students/ |

It's easy to become distracted from the spirit and meaning of Memorial Day holiday. Memorial Day marks a three-day weekend that, for many, announces the beginning of summer. Pools open. Schools close. Vacations begin. Retailers have sales; consumers shop. We barbecue, eat and drink. We enjoy friends and families. We appreciate being able to take a little time-out.
For many of us, it is a time to remember loved ones who have passed. We visit cemeteries, decorate graves, or find our own ways to remember and honor those we sorely miss.
Many Americans have forgotten the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. After World War I, the holiday was expanded to honor and remember Americans who died fighting in any war.
Memorial Day is now celebrated on the last Monday in May. It is a time when communities come together to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. It seems the least we can do for those who have given everything to secure our freedoms and rights.
Perhaps one way to honor the memory of those who have given their lives to assure our freedom is to seek ways to become more informed and responsible citizens.
Wouldn't it be good if we could remember to thank veterans and those active in military service before they passed? And, wouldn't it be better if we didn't limit ourselves to Memorial Day and Veterans Day to express our gratitude?

At the American Center for Biological Medicine (ACBM), we last consulted with Dr. Jennifer Markham in our blog Advantages of Nebulization and How It Works. We consulted with resident expert Dr. Markham again about how to combat chronic fatigue using Soundbed Therapy.
Dr. Markham helped us to identify some common symptoms and signs that present with chronic fatigue. She then explained how Soundbed Therapy is designed to address fatigue so that you can feel more energized and fabulous at work, the gym, anywhere!
What are signs that you are suffering from chronic fatigue?
Chronic fatigue can present in several ways, such as: waking feeling tired, weakness, difficulty exercising or needing to nap/rest following exercise, perhaps decreased mood, increased appetite or cravings, difficulty concentrating, or brain fog. The bigger question is what is causing the chronic fatigue and that is something we specialize in finding out for each individual at the ACBM.
How does Soundbed Therapy increase energy?
One effect of Soundbed Therapy is deep relaxation through cellular resonance. Dr. Markham says, “Deep relaxation, when the nervous system is parasympathetic, is absolutely required for the body to rejuvenate and repair!” With Soundbed Therapy, healing is supported, thus allowing healthy energy levels to return in time.
To whom would you recommend Soundbed Therapy?
What other treatments are offered at the ACBM to increase energy and combat fatigue? | 2019-04-24T03:48:59Z | https://thebiomedcenter.com/combat-chronic-fatigue-with-this-30-minute-treatment/ |
