Did you know that personnel salaries and expenses make up 81% of the Cherry Hills Village Police Department’s annual budget? That means only 19% of the department budget is available for equipment upgrades, new technology, training initiatives, or community-focused projects that go beyond basic police services.
We don’t want basic. We want the best.
To provide our residents the enhanced protection & support they deserve, The Cherry Hills Village Police Foundation works to raise funds from the community and foster grant applications to support the following public safety priorities:
Education & Training:
Continued career training and development is of paramount importance to our CHVPD officers and community. With proper funding, we will be able to ensure outside instructors are regularly leveraged to provide specialized training in the latest courses, including:
Anti-Bias, Community Policing, Use of Force, Critical Incident, Incident Command, Policing Ethics, and more.
Additionally, funding will be made available for leadership training and development programs conducted by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Northwestern University Staff and Command School, the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association, and more.
Equipment and Safety Gear
We aim to provide our officers with the latest equipment, including new vehicles and their continued maintenance, as well as upgraded crime scene & evidence procurement technology.
We are thrilled to announce our latest initiative: the introduction of our first K-9 officer, Tuco, made possible by a generous donation of $22,000 to the Cherry Hills Police Department. This significant contribution reflects the unwavering support of our community members, who understand the importance of investing in public safety.
Tuco, a 14-month-old male Belgian Malinois, will be paired with Officer Ives, a seasoned law enforcement veteran. Together, they will undergo rigorous training to prepare for their vital roles in narcotic detection and suspect apprehension. Tuco’s presence will not only enhance the capabilities of our police department but will also serve as a deterrent to crime, fostering a safer environment for all Cherry Hills Village residents.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our supporters whose contributions have made this initiative a reality. Your generosity directly impacts our mission to keep our community safe, and we are committed to maintaining transparency regarding how funds are utilized for such important projects.
As we embark on this exciting journey with Tuco and Officer Ives, we invite you to join us in our mission. Your continued support is crucial as we look to implement more initiatives that promote safety and collaboration within Cherry Hills Village. Together, we can build a stronger, safer community for everyone. Thank you for being an integral part of this endeavor!
Health & Wellbeing:
The ability to fund wellness programs catering to physical and mental health will help ensure our officers are at their very best when patrolling and serving our community.
Personnel & Family Assistance:
Our community takes care of one another. In the event of severe illness, injury, or catastrophe, The Cherry Hills Village Foundation will help provide added support to officers and their families. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Welcome to my blog! My name is Geoff. I have always been a sporty kind of chap. I love to go long distance running and I also play football and rugby. One day after a long run, I had a terrible pain in my foot. I thought I had just been overdoing it a little bit, so I decided to rest up. A week later, it was no better. I was still in a lot of pain and had to drop out of a couple of football matches. My doctor sent me to see a podiatrist who examined my foot and explained I had damaged a ligament. The podiatrist helped me to get back to full health. I decided to start this blog to explain the importance of good foot care. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

DALLAS — Czech Airlines (OK), one of the world's oldest continuously operating airlines, will cease operations today, October 26, when it completes its last flight (OK767) from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) this evening.
This flight will end a century of OK’s history as a standalone airline. After today, the Czech flag carrier will stop selling its own tickets and operating under the current brand. Smartwings (QS) will take over all of OK's existing fleet and operations.
The flight code "OK” will cease as the airline departs from the SkyTeam alliance and fully integrates into the Smartwings Group. Flights will now operate under the code "QS."
Although the OK brand will largely disappear, two Airbus A320s and four Airbus A220-300s (expected by 2025) will retain the OK livery.
Founded in October 1923 as Czechoslovak State Airlines, OK initially connected Prague and Bratislava via a three-hour flight on a biplane piloted by Karel Brabenec. In 1930, the airline expanded internationally, with its first foreign route to Zagreb. In the 1970s, OK reached distant destinations, including New York, Montreal, and Havana.
Since the 1990s, OK has faced challenges, including failed privatization attempts, the 2008 financial crisis, competition from low-cost carriers (LCCs), and the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2018, QS acquired 98% of OK’s shares, solidifying its control over the airline's operations.
OK767 lands in Prague this evening at 10:00 PM local time (4:00 PM Eastern Time). You can follow the flight here.

Exploring Airline History Volume I
David H. Stringer, the History Editor for AIRWAYS Magazine, has chronicled the story of the commercial aviation industry with his airline history articles that have appeared in AIRWAYS over two decades. Here, for the first time, is a compilation of those articles.
Subjects A through C are presented in this first of three volumes. Covering topics such as the airlines of Alaska at the time of statehood and Canada's regional airlines of the 1960s, the individual histories of such carriers as Allegheny, American, Braniff, and Continental are also included in Volume One.

Here are all the program settings. Let"s go in order:
Comunication -This parameter defines how the program will send data to the plotter . There are two options :
Printer driver - in this case, the program will send the data by means of Windows, and an additional parameter is used to select the printer driver , which send jobs .
COM port - selecting this option , the program will send print jobs directly to the port. You need to specify the port settings by clicking the "COM port parameters"
HPGL commands - These parameters do not need to touch - they are for communication btween eCom and eCut in contour cutting mode.
Plotter settings - Settings for contour cutting plotter:

- $1000 in coupons for Brand Name items at my local food store
- One 3-day/2-night weekend at a resort of my choice anywhere in the United States
I have had these offers before. My answer “No thanks. It’s too expensive.”
- You see, I don’t buy many Brand Name items since, even with the coupons, I can find a less expensive item that is comparable.
- As for the vacation, we would have to find someone to milk the cows while we are away and that would also be an expense to avoid.
What is a “Free” that is really free? Free is something that is given to another. The price is paid in full by the giver. The benefit of the gift belongs to the one receiving the gift.
God has given a gift to all who will receive it. It is eternal life. Jesus Christ paid for it in full. The benefit of this gift belongs to the one receiving it. The Holy Bible puts it this way, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (RSV)
Now that is a “Free” that really is free. I hope you have received it. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
When it comes to the elderly, most people have the impression of gray hair, hobbling and slow movement. As the elderly increase in age, the body functions slowly decline, memory is not as good as day by day, so what causes memory loss in the elderly, how to improve the memory of the elderly? With these questions hurry up and take a look with me.
What are the causes of memory loss in the elderly
Older people with missing teeth may cause memory loss. Long-term tooth loss in the elderly is closely related to memory loss. The hippocampus (a gyrus in the brain) is involved in memory and emotional responses, and people’s short-term memories are stored in this area. As people age, the cells in the hippocampus age and short-term memory deteriorates. The lack of teeth makes people chew harder and less often, which will accelerate the degeneration of hippocampal cells and affect people’s memory in the long run.
The elderly eat too much aluminum food may cause memory loss. The World Health Organization proposed that the human body should not exceed 1 mg/kg body weight of aluminum intake per day. If you eat doughnuts, vermicelli, cold noodles, oil cakes, etc., will cause excessive intake of aluminum, affecting the function of brain cells, resulting in memory loss, slow thinking ability.
Long-term satiety in the elderly may cause memory loss. Long-term satiety can cause excessive calorie intake, excess fat, and increased blood lipids in the body, causing an increase in a substance called “fibroblast growth factor”, which leads to cerebral atherosclerosis, reducing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain, resulting in memory loss, premature brain failure, and mental retardation.
Cerebral atherosclerosis in the elderly may cause memory loss. It can lead to chronic cerebral blood supply deficiency, dizziness and headache, memory loss, inattention, reduced mental ability, sleep disorders, emotional and behavioral changes, etc.
How to improve memory in the elderly
Regular walking can improve memory. A 30-minute walk every day is good for the brain. Experts say, “Exercise helps protect the memory and mental function of the elderly.” In addition, exercise can prevent diseases that cause memory loss, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity and stroke. Some studies have shown that physical activity also triggers the release of a protein. This protein promotes brain cell health and enhances memory.
Getting enough sleep every day can improve memory. Poor sleep can lead to a loss of concentration, and memory can be affected. Use the following methods to help you improve the quality of sleep: do not eat a large meal before going to bed; go to bed and get up on time; do not drink caffeine or alcoholic beverages before bed; and do not smoke.
Learn to effectively avoid stress can improve memory. Experts say, “Too much stress hurts the brain, and high levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, have been shown to cause memory loss.” Relaxation through meditation, yoga or massage is recommended to relieve stress.
Mastering memory skills can improve memory. When you have trouble remembering, it can be helpful to have some skills. For example, each time you learn a new name, say it out loud and commit it to memory. Mentally associate each new name with an image. You can also put up post-it notes around the house and write down important things on them.
The above content is about the causes of memory loss in the elderly and how to improve the memory of the elderly knowledge, see here do you have a clearer understanding of the above content? Memory loss in the elderly is not without cause, so the elderly must avoid these undesirable factors in their daily lives, take frequent walks, get enough sleep, learn to effectively avoid stress, etc., so that their memory will improve. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Lottery is a process in which people purchase a ticket for a chance to win money or goods. The winner is selected by random drawing. There are many different types of lottery games, including the Powerball and Mega Millions. The lottery has been used by governments and private businesses to raise funds for a variety of projects. Some examples include public works, military operations, and charitable donations.
Although the odds of winning a lottery are low, millions of Americans play the game every week and contribute billions to state budgets annually. Some people play for fun, while others believe the lottery is their only hope of a better life. In the past, there have been a number of stories of people who have won large sums from playing the lottery. However, most of these stories are exaggerations. To increase your chances of winning, play the lottery with a smaller prize pool and avoid numbers that end with the same digit. It is also important to avoid buying tickets in groups.
In general, the probability of winning a lottery depends on the total number of tickets sold and the total amount of money spent. The more tickets you buy, the higher your chance of winning, but this is not necessarily a good idea because it can lead to overspending and reduce your overall utility. If you are considering purchasing a lottery ticket, try to set a spending limit and stick to it. If you want to improve your chances of winning, choose a smaller game with less numbers and buy multiple tickets for each drawing. You should also be aware of the rules of probability, which dictate that you do not increase your chances of winning by playing the lottery more frequently or by betting a larger amount on each drawing.
Historically, lotteries have been used to distribute property and other assets in an equitable manner. For example, the Roman emperors gave away slaves and land through lotteries. In colonial America, lotteries were used to finance canals, roads, churches, colleges, and other public works. In addition, lotteries were a popular way to fund militias during the French and Indian War.
While the majority of American adults play the lottery, they are disproportionately lower-income, nonwhite, and male. The largest percentage of lottery revenue comes from a minority of players who purchase a ticket once or more each week. Those people spend an average of $7 on each ticket. Some of the most successful lottery players have formed syndicates to buy tickets together in order to maximize their chances of winning. Romanian-born mathematician Stefan Mandel once won 14 times by forming a syndicate that included more than 2,500 investors.
While some states have tried to make the lottery seem more palatable by marketing it as a civic duty, this does not address the fact that the lottery is regressive and has little effect on state revenue. Instead, a better message would be to tell lottery players that they should play the lottery responsibly and that they should not expect to win. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Eight member guesthouses in Orlando West in Soweto which are enrolled in the Southern Sun Book-A-Guesthouse enterprise development programme hosted 29 Southern Sun managers from around the country recently. The managers were attending a management development course at the Gordon Institute for Business Science (GIBS).
Book-A-Guesthouse is Southern Sun's national enterprise development programme that empowers women within the local tourism industry by providing business development support and market access.
There are currently 63 independently-owned and operated bed & breakfast and guesthouse establishments in the programme, located in Gauteng, Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape.
The eight guesthouses were selected to participate in a management simulation programme, which was one of the GIBS’s development programme assignments. The 29 managers spent the night at the selected guesthouses and had dinner at Nambiktha's on Vilakazi Street in Soweto. The following day they worked with guesthouse owners to develop strategies and business improvement plans based on revenue, occupancy and markets applicable to their individual circumstances. All eight guesthouses now have strategies with recommendations for improving their bottom-line performance that will be collated into a book for all to share.
For most of the managers it was their first visit to Soweto and interaction with small business owners.
“The B&B’s got us looking at business in a different way, a way of finding and celebrating uniqueness and ensuring that strategies are focused completely on guest satisfaction,” says Linda Reddy, GM of Garden Court Milpark, of her experience.
The process was facilitated by Brett Will of GIBS, Karen Borain of Southern Sun and Rebone Sesoko of the Southern Sun Book-A-Guesthouse programme. All participants learned a lot and for many, it was a life-changing experience.
As the enterprise development programme continues to grow, it is creating clusters in different areas around the country to increase capacity and enable the nodes to accommodate large group bookings as well as individual travellers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Over the past few months, we’ve heard from a number of parents and carers about issues they’ve encountered with regards to school transport. We raised your concerns, as well as a request to make public the home-to-school transport policy, to strategic contacts within Manchester City Council.
Amanda Corcoran, the council’s Director of Education, recently spoke with us to address some of the issues and sent the following letter to parents and carers.
Thank you for your letter outlining the current issues with home-to-school transport for children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND).
We are aware of several matters that cause the service to fall below the standard we want and expect for our residents.
There are several contributory factors to the current situation which include a high number of staff absence, a significant number of late applications for transport in September and a transition to a new electronic system and database which has resulted in some teething problems.
We are working to resolve all these issues and have brought in extra staff to the Home to School Transport Service and Contact Centre to ensure the service is improved as a matter of urgency.
I have also agreed that we need to review and update our current home-to-school transport policy, working in co-production with parents/carers and children and young people. We will aim to do this in the autumn term once we have resolved the current situation.
I am confident that by working together we can improve our policy and the service which implements it. I will discuss with Manchester Parent Carer Forum how we work with parents/carers on this as we have done now on a number of policies and developments in the city.
In the meantime please accept my sincere apologies for the level of service parents/carers have experienced over the last few weeks.
Director of Education
Manchester City Council
As mentioned in the letter, the local authority will be working with MPCF to improve Manchester’s home-to-school transport policy moving forward. We will inform our members about any opportunities to give further feedback as well as to directly get involved in the discussions.
A fellow parent-carer from the Parent Champions group also sent a letter of complaint on behalf of their members and we thank them for copying us into the email.

Vertex morphing is a technique which allows for the deformation of a base mesh by using morph targets, meshes with identical vertices to the base mesh, but with altered vertex positions. This technique is commonly used for facial expressions on 3D characters and for describing transformations that are not easily described by bones. For a more thorough overview of vertex morphing, please refer to Circlesoft's DirectMesh2 specs.
How does it work?
Vertex morphing works by interpolating a final vertex position between a base position and one or more target positions, which are typically defined in seperate meshes which are often referred to as morph targets. The process of morphing a single vertex using two morph targets is displayed below in figure 1. As a side note, our sample uses linear interpolation to calculate the final vertex position, but morphing may also benefit from sin/cubic interpolation for smoother animation.
? ?Figure 1. Morphing a single vertex to two targets
In realtime graphics though, it is not common to work with the complete morph targets at runtime (this technique is mostly used in 3D modelling packages), but rather a subset of the vertices that need to be morphed to interpolate to a specific target. The benefit of this 'sparse' technique is of course that it can be more efficient, but at the cost of having to do the morphing on the CPU. On shader model 3 hardware (NVidia 6 series, ATI 1x00 series and better) however, a sparse morph technique using vertex texture lookups may be used that can also runs fully on the GPU.
The technique introduced here does use complete morph targets though, so why would you want to use it? A simple answer would be that it will work on SM2 hardware, which is a strong argument since SM3 has not yet hit the mainstream at the time of writing. But a more solid argument is that though it may not always be as efficient as sparse morphing, it does run completely on the GPU and for models with complex morph targets (ones that affect a large portion of the mesh, like in the NVidia Dolphin demo) it probably runs faster than software morphing.
To support interpolating the full morph targets on the GPU, this technique sends the base mesh and the targets to the video card on seperate vertex streams. This also limits this technique to the number of vertex streams your target video card supports. SM2 cards typically support 8 streams, allowing for 1 base mesh and 7 morph targets. So this technqiue is mainly suited for animating models with complex yet few simultaneously active morph targets.
About the sample project
The sample project uses the technique explained above to render our Johnny fish character with 3 morph targets. To this end, it loads the Johnny base mesh and the 3 targets and sets these up on 4 seperate streams, using an appropriate vertex declaration to interleave the data on the GPU. This gives us access to the morph target vertices in the vertex shader, so we can interpolate the final vertex positions using the weights we set for each target.
The source code is thoroughly documented to describe this process, along with a number of suggestions for optimization. The overall technique is relatively simple and provides a nice example of what techniques can be implemented by using multiple vertex streams. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions on this technique or other (hardware) vertex morphing techniques in C#, we'd gladly hear from you.

KX-165A NAV/COM SYSTEM - 28V
Both NAV and COMM frequency displays on these units incorporate the popular flip-flop preselect feature. So, you can set up en route or approach frequency changeovers well in advance of your actual transition point or ATC handoff sequence for true stay ahead flight management.
Just select your upcoming NAV or COMM frequency in the standby (STBY) display, and youre all set to flip-flop it into active status at the press of a button. This function may also be controlled from an optional remote mounted switch.
Both active and standby frequencies are displayed simultaneously, so you never have to worry about whats being stored. And theres no chance of inadvertently erasing a frequency just when you need it most. An innovative non-volatile memory circuit holds all the displayed frequencies in storage through aircraft shutdowns or momentary power interruptions without the need for battery power of any kind.
Large, self-dimming, microprocessor- controlled gas discharge readouts and solid-state electronic tuning provide fast, accurate selection of all 200 NAV and 760 COMM frequencies and both the KX155 and KX165 feature a built-in 40-channel glideslope receiver. On the COMM side, the KX 165 system gives you 10 watts minimum transmitter power for maximum range and clarity.
And on the NAV side, the KX 165s useful Radial feature offers you an instant readout of the radial youre on (from the active VORTAC station), digitally displayed in the standby NAV frequency window. KX-165A is TSOd and offers 32 channels of com frequency memory, an additional CDI mode.
The new GPS "Quick Tune" feature allows the pilot to select and remotely tune the standby com and nav freq. from the KLN94 GPS database.Must be installed by Advantage Avionics or another King dealer. KX-165A (28V) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

When you have no problems keeping up with a payment, the financial institution that extended you a line of credit will usually be extremely easy to get along with. However, get a little behind on your payments for whatever reason and you can see a seemingly friendly relationship turn sour really quick. Unfortunately, debt collection agencies will use all kind of crazy practices to try and get you to pay.
While there are many collection practices that are perfectly legal, some are downright shady and a few walk a fine line between legal and illegal. If you are dealing with a harassing creditor or collection agency, these are a few of the secret tactics you should know and talk to a general practice attorney about if needed.
Exaggeration of Wage Garnishment Capabilities
When you are unable to pay back what you owe, there is a good chance that a stern debt collector will start tossing out threats of wage garnishment. You may be told that they will get their way in one way or another or if you value your wages you better pay now. However, what they will not tell you is that wage garnishing activities have regulations in place by state governments. For example, in the state of Kentucky only up to one-fourth of total income can be taken and that is if you net more than 30 times the hourly minimum wage.
Calling You At Home or At Work and Harassing Your Relatives
Debt agencies know that the more of an interruption they can cause in your life, the more likely it will be that you will want to pay in order to get them off of your back. They will call you at home repeatedly, they may contact you at work, and they may even track down contact numbers to close family members. You can file what is known legally as a cease and desist order commanding the company to stop all phone calls by working with a general practice attorney. If the calls fail to stop, the company will be in violation of Fair Debt Collections Practices Act.
In the event you feel you are being harassed by a collection agency, it can feel like an overwhelming situation that has no way out. However, a good attorney, like Butts, Schneider & Butts LLP, can offer you advice about how to get these people off your back, even if it means filing a suit or filing for bankruptcy. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Reading is one of the most fun and effective ways to improve your English language skills. It can help to expand your vocabulary and expose you to different sentence structures, all while you enjoy some wonderful stories.
E-readers and tablets make learning English even easier because if you don’t know a word, you can simply click on it to read its definition. On the Kindle you can even add new words you’ve learnt to its Vocabulary Builder feature, which is stored on the device. Others recommend listening to and reading text at the same time as an excellent way to enhance the learning process. Kindle’s Whispersync for Voice is designed for just this purpose and includes audio with selected books, so you can listen and follow the text as you read.
Here is our selection of nine great novels to help improve your English…
1. The Wind in the Willows – Kenneth Grahame
This classic tale takes place in the English countryside and shares the adventures of the animals that live by the river. Grahame’s simple use of language with imaginative stories makes this a pleasurable read for both adults and children.
2. Lord of the Flies – William Golding
This book is a modern classic and a popular study text for schools all over the world. When a group of boys are isolated on a desert island, the society they create descends into ruthless behaviour. Golding uses dramatic and descriptive language, almost like poetry, that makes you feel as though you’re in the scenes yourself.
3. The Old Man and the Sea – Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway is well-known for his clear, straightforward writing style and short sentence structure, which is great for English language learners and many people have read it in school. It’s the courageous tale of a Cuban fisherman and his battle to land a giant marlin and it’s a perfect introduction to Hemingway as an author.
4. Animal Farm – George Orwell
This short, allegorical novel tells the story of animals rebelling against their human masters, and is a satire of Stalin era in the Soviet Union. Orwell uses simple English to appeal to all reading levels with a ‘less is more’ approach, and the animals speak in short, clear sentences. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

“I’ve recently fought my way back from an extended period of injury (6 months) where I was not able to train at all, only minimal running.
Now that I’m back do a structured week of training how many potatoes do I need to eat? How much pasta or rice equates to an hour of sub-threshold running?
I’m currently doing an hour of running a day. This mostly consists of sub-threshold runs at about 70% – 80% max heartrate range. I’ll do one race or one VO2 Max session per week ( >90%) followed the next day by a recovery run at 60% – 70%. I average one non-running day per week. I also do one exersise (core strength) class per week.”
Thanks, Laurie, June 2015
The answer to your question depends upon what else you’re eating, because you’ll be getting energy (kcal) from all of your food. Bear in mind, also, that your energy needs and your energy intake will normalise across a week (or any given period), such that you may be ‘catching up’ on your rest day or slightly deficient overall on race day.
In order to answer your question fully, we would have to do a food diary, but I can make a series of assumptions based on weight, height and activity levels. Then, I would calculate the difference in energy requirements between none, little and your actual training schedule.

In an age when television programming is scattered across what often seems like thousands of channels, the idea of one channel ruling them all is a joke. There was a time when the three networks, NBC, ABC and CBS commanded the airwaves, but those days are tucked away in the annals of TV history.
Viewers are tasked with weeding out the crap, and let’s face it, the crap makes up about 99% of all television programming. From the ‘Jay Leno Show’ to ‘Jersey Shore,’ recent show offerings have been an assault on the senses. In fact, there’s barely one channel that can be relied on for quality programming, except for HBO.
While HBO came to most viewers’ attention in the early 1980’s for its feature film broadcasts, today’s audience most likely associates the channel as the home to such pop culture phenomenon as ‘Sex and the City,’ ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘Six Feet Under.’
Such Hollywood heavyweights as Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks flocked to HBO with their award-winning mini-series ‘Band of Brothers,’ and the soon-to-air ‘The Pacific,’ another epic depiction of war. Martin Scorsese recently directed the pilot for an upcoming gangster series, ‘Boardwalk Empire.’ Not to mention the endless number of comics that have benefited over the years from HBO comedy specials.
However, it wasn’t the big names or flashy titles that first drew me into the cult of HBO, although ‘Fraggle Rock’ might have been the main reason I started watching. What sucked me in was a seemingly simple opening sequence that HBO tacked onto its movies every night. Beginning in 1982, HBO used an introduction to its programming that included shots of a miniature city and its giant logo floating through space.
Those recognizable chrome-plated letters seemed awe-inspirsing to me as kid transfixed to the television set, unaware that I was quite privileged to have HBO piped into our household at a time when most friends merely had basic TV, if that.
Now, thanks to a post on PhantomLeap.com, anyone that missed that glorious HBO sequence can watch it again while also learning how the whole thing was put together in a making-of featurette. Starting with a miniature 30-foot-long cityscape, complete with working light bulbs in every building and hand-made foliage, the intro was painstakingly created by Liberty Studios in New York. After all these years, it was exciting to discover that a few bums and hookers were scattered throughout that memorable miniature city.
With a score by Ferdinand J. Smith that was meant to give HBO the “biggest, most exciting sound on television,” every time the channel would air a film, I distinctly remember rushing to catch that opening sequence. From a branding standpoint, the introduction provided HBO with all that it set out to achieve, excitement and wonderment, at least for this viewer.
Quality programming has kept me tuned into HBO over the years, but the initial impact its sweeping introduction provided is surely what made me a long-time viewer. Perhaps other networks can learn a thing a two from watching it again. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Senator Chris Dodd has a big choice to make. When Ted Kennedy died this week, he left open the chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP). Dodd is second in line for the post, but in order to take over the HELP chairmanship, he would have to give up his seat as chairman of the Senate Banking committee--where he is currently leading a major push for stricter financial regulations.
Does he give up the Banking committee, possibly leaving its work to the bank-friendly South Dakotan, Tim Johnson? Does he pass up the chairmanship of HELP--a committee that produced a health care bill in which Dodd has been deeply involved, serving as Ted Kennedy's proxy--and leave negotiations over the final Senate bill in the hands of Tom Harkin or Barbara Mikulski?

Hong Kong urged to improve hospitality
Updated: 2016-05-05 14:20
By Luo Weiteng In Hong Kong(China Daily)
The mainland contributes between 3 and 4 million arrivals to Hong Kong each month, compared with 150,000 to 160,000 monthly arrivals from other major markets.[Photo/IC] |
If Hong Kong wants to attract more mainland tourists, it should focus on getting its citizens to behave well toward them and rehabilitate the city's tourist-friendly image, instead of worrying about easing travel restrictions on mainlanders, tourism experts said.
The suggestion was made after Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying made it clear on Tuesday that the special administrative region's government had no plan to restore the multiple-entry individual visit scheme for people from the nearby city of Shenzhen, Guangdong province.
Evidence of the falling number of mainland tourists visiting Hong Kong came during the three-day "mini Golden Week" holiday from April 30 and May 2 when there was a 40 percent year-on-year drop in the number of mainland tour groups, according to the Hong Kong Inbound Travel Association.
Lam Chi-ting, general secretary of Hong Kong Tourism Industry Employees General Union, said he agreed that the time is not right to reinstate the multiple-entry permits for residents from Shenzhen, or to loosen rules so that residents of other mainland cities can visit Hong Kong more easily.
"The city still needs time to study its capacity before welcoming more mainlanders," Lam said.
"Not to mention, Hong Kong people also need time to learn how to behave in a civil and friendly way toward mainland visitors."
He made the comments after recent news stories reported isolated incidents in which mainland visitors had been criticized and made to feel uncomfortable in Hong Kong.
Leung said before an Executive Council meeting on Tuesday that the SAR government was aware of the fact that too many mainland tourists could put undue pressure on the city and disturb the daily lives of local people.
The city has enjoyed several bumper years for tourism, with mainland visitors delivering a shopping and traveling bonanza to the retail sector, said Song Ding, a senior analyst from the Tourism and Real Estate Industry Research Center of the China Development Institute, a think tank based in Shenzhen.
But in the wake of fewer mainland tourists visiting the city and a cooling economy, Hong Kong has been attempting to lure tourists from countries including Japan, South Korea and the United States. However, Lam said there are limits to how much difference tourists from those markets can make.
The mainland contributes between 3 and 4 million arrivals to Hong Kong each month, compared with 150,000 to 160,000 monthly arrivals from other major markets.

The Sixty-Nine Men Fuck Me
Sixty-Nine Me, Then Fuck MeSabrina is a tall, raven haired, tattooed and pierced, transsexual siren, with runway model looks, small, natural breasts, and a big, beefy, tongue depressor salami. When Sabrina trips moving some boxes, and a vibrator falls out of it, triggering her lecherous longings. Her lover lays her on the bed, skillfully fucking her ass with a large vibrator. Subsequently, he potently plows his titanic tool into her in missionary, while she frenetically jerks off, triggering a volcanic, screaming orgasm, spewing gobs of goo from her pleasure pole. He returns to doggie depositing a cream pie, which drips from her asshole in creamy white rivulets of cum. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I like open source software. It is usually financially free, and while I don’t develop software, I do benefit from those who use the freedom is provides. When InfoCentral, a church and not-for-profit management software project decided to follow a Java development line, some other people forked its development (under the name ChurchInfo using a scripting language (PHP) I have a better understanding of.
Open source software is a model of progress and collaberation. I like it very much, and admire the values it tends to cultivate.
Now, what about worship in the mainline churches, by which I include Unitarian Universalism?
There a practice I have seen in Unitarian Universalist pulpits that annoys me. It isn’t so much the elevating fragments of colleague’s sermons as “readings” (which isn’t so hot) but the endless attribution. Worship begings to sound like a term paper with footnotes.
So, let me cut to the point. Who owns — intellectually owns — worship?
In “modern” churches, even those that biblical readings and not the above situation, who owns the pieces? Modern translations of the Bible are under copyright. Modern prayers are under copyright. New hymns — all since 1923, unless released into the public domain — are under copyright. Likewise the choral and instrumental music. Of course, the sermon is under copyright. For those churches that use them, the modern English versions of the ecumenical creeds are under copyright, plus any denominational confessions. I’m pretty sure the Revised Common Lectionary is under copyright, its use on a number of websites not withstanding. Someone owns just about everything we do on Sunday.
That bothers me. Faithful people — here read Christian or Unitarian Universalist depending on how you got to this site — in communion need the sources of their faith to be held in common trust without ownership. Which begs a question: who owns the much-quoted Principles and Purposes? Does anyone?
Now, here’s the exception that proves the rule. The Episcopal Book of Common Prayer — the American one is the one I mean here, but there are others — is not in copyright. If you have one, grab it and look for a copyright page. (Hint: there isn’t one.)
I suspect that’s why when there’s ever been a “default liturgy” needed in a non-liturgical church (and I use that term advisedly, since all churches have a liturgy though not a set or printed one) the Episcopalians have been brought to use.
I suspect that’s why, except for the historically singular exception of King’s Chapel (and its former chapel, First Church in Chestnut Hill), that “liturgical” Universalist and Unitarian rites have pulled more from the Episcopalians than the “Puritan style” or even high Reformed rites.
So, what could be a commonly-owned common core? And how would we acquire one?
Here’s the irony: the most conservative Protestant churches — using old hymns and forms, and reading the King James Version of the Bible — already have one.
Now I want an open-source core for the faith, too. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The season is upon us and more holiday spending means more opportunities to bring business to your local store! In the competitive realm of retail, it’s important to master the art of visual appeal. And what better way to attract customers than to display the goods you have to offer with custom holiday signage, featuring the unique specials of THIS season! With these retail display tips for your store, you’ll have them coming back all year.
One of the greatest ways to turn passer-bys into long-term customers is to first, provide a striking visual attraction. While there is a lot of eye-catching competition during the Christmas and holiday season, it’s important to make your store pop with holiday signs that will deliver your most important message to the client. Here are some tips to visually promote your store.
Consider implementing a unique holiday window decal with a custom design and logo. Communicate the specific message that you want to deliver to customers with a fun and friendly decal. Window decals are made to be applied and removed with ease and are perfect for displaying that limited-time promotion or seasonal special to turn window shoppers into purchasing shoppers.
Promos Promos Promos!
During this season, you’re well aware that yours isn’t the only business aiming to capitalize on busy holiday shopping. Every store is featuring offers to beat the competition and maximize profit. Your sign will need to stand out above all the hustle and bustle. Bring in foot traffic with custom display signs that feature your special promotion. Some rewarding promos to offer are:
Early Bird Specials
After the initial holiday spending surge is over, set a date for an early special for those who might have missed out or are still wanting more. Your sign should emphasize the limited hours of the special, creating a sense of urgency and helping offset less busy morning hours that most retailers experience.
Last Minute Deals
Specials like these will help you reach out to your less pro-active customers looking to wrap up their final holiday shopping. Your sign could feature a clock image to stress the urgency. While stressful for some, last minute shopping is normal for many and they will be grat
eful for your promotion.
Two for One
Anyone appreciates getting the biggest bang for their buck, especially when buying gifts for multiple people. Feature an item that is trendy and suitable to a wide audience and put it on a sign! Items like these will, at the least, make great stocking stuffers and your customers will be happy to check a few things off of their holiday shopping list.

Breakthrough is an 18-month mentoring initiative set up by the Lakes International Comic Art Festival, in conjunction with Arts Council England, Wellcome Trust Fellowship, Soaring Penguin Press, Quarto Books and other partners, with the aim of giving under-represented individuals a chance to express themselves through the medium of comics and to hopefully open up a career pathway within the publishing industry.
Historically comics have been a medium that has high accessibility for dyslexics, reluctant readers and as a cheap mass market form of entertainment. However, in recent decades the working class, and other voices, have become increasingly underrepresented within the mainstream media, and are often excluded from current creative print and online comics resulting in their stories not being told and shared. Breakthrough seeks to give those people agency and in doing so, build their self-esteem and hopefully lead on to a career creating sequential art, whilst inspiring them to become a positive reflection for subsequent creators.
We are interested in mentoring stories that reflect what it is like to live on or below the poverty line, concerns about identity and place in society, health and wellbeing and what it means to be a UK citizen. This can be done through fiction, comics journalism, autobiography or any genre the cohorts feel is appropriate.
There are currently half a million young people living below the poverty line in the UK, and with increased cuts to arts funding it is vital that these voices are heard, and that all sectors of society get the opportunity to tell their stories.
The initiative is open to anyone aged 18 and over who has not previously professionally published comics or had the opportunity to study art or creative writing in Further Education. We are especially interested in those voices that are underrepresented within comics, including the BAME and LGBT communities, but we are also particularly interested in applicants from poorer, working class backgrounds; those with mental wellbeing concerns or Special Educational Needs; Senior Citizens, and people living in rural areas.
The Breakthrough Initiative was officially announced on 13 October 2018 at the Lakes International Comic Art Festival and, starting from April 2019, will run for approximately 18 months, culminating in an exhibition of the participants’ work and production of an anthology book which will act as a portfolio to hopefully gain them employment or to start a career as a self-employed comics creator.
There are initially six places available on the initiative, which will grow to a maximum of 10 depending on final funding. The selection process will be run through nationwide agencies and partner organisations, such as Creative Futures, and various nationwide educational institutions, food banks and similar organisations.
Applicants do not need any experience creating comics, as full training will be provided.
Prospective participants will need to submit a completed form and provide some examples of creative work. This does not necessarily need to take the form of comics, but could be a piece of writing, paintings, drawings or any other form of artistic expression.
Participants need to be able to travel independently and attend at least three two-day workshops that will take place every six months.
The Breakthrough initiative will teach the cohorts the skills and techniques of comics in order to empower them to tell their own personal stories of living in Britain. This will include several workshops and remote one-to-one mentoring leading to them completing their first finished comic strip. Ultimately these stories will be collected into an anthology providing a revealing snapshot of life in Britain today.
At the end of the initiative participants will be invited to LICAF 2020 from 9-11 October 2020. Their travel, two nights’ accommodation and evening meals will be paid for by the initiative.
The project will be overseen by the Lakes International Comic Arts Festival founder and Director Julie Tait. Tait has been running the festival for over 6 years and has seen attendance grow year-on-year whilst also developing partnerships with associated organisations around the world from USA, Finland, and Belgium to India, Japan and Australia. Administration will be run by LICAF Festival Manager Carole Tait who has worked on the festival for 3 years. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Whether you’ve come to Maryland on vacation or you’ve always lived here, you owe it to yourself to enjoy some steamed crabs. As spring turns to summer, it’s almost time for that grand old tradition: the crab feast. Grab your mallets, claw crackers, bibs, and light beers, because it’s time to learn how to eat crabs like you’re a true Marylander.
Dealing with the Claws
When it’s time to eat some crabs, don’t be afraid to get a little messy. The first part of picking apart a crab is to get the meat out of the claws. It’ll take some work, so if you think there’s not enough meat to be worth, don’t feel bad – cracking open the claws is half of the fun! Removing the claws and legs is the best way to get started. Even if you think the flippers will only get in the way, they won’t. In fact, leaving them where they are will be useful later. Turn the claw until the ridge on the inside part faces up, then crack it with the mallet. Do this with the other claw, and it should come off more easily.
Dealing with the Legs
Once you’ve finished with the claws, turn your attention to the legs. You can either choose to eat the legs or discard them, but if you want to get more to eat, then you’re better off tangling with the legs instead of just ignoring them. Take the legs apart segment by segment – to do this, you’ll need to twist. After that, you can squeeze until the meat hidden underneath starts to come out. You’ll need to use your thumb and forefinger at the same time to apply enough pressure.
Opening the Shell
Finally, it’s time to open up the shell. Cracking open the shell is more difficult than opening the claws or the legs. Look at the belly of your crab after you flip it onto its back: if you see a long flap, then it’s male; if you see a dome shape, then it is female. You’ll come across males far more often than the females. Use a knife or your fingers to pull the flap open. Turn it back over, and the rest of the shell should peel away like opening a hinge on a door. After cracking the crab open, you can get to the jumbo lump, the best part of eating crabs!

Two men accused of being part of the Islamic State (Isis) terror group have been sentenced to death in Somalia. Ahmed Aden Abdullahi and Abdullahi Mohamed Aden were tried by a military court in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, where IS fighters seized a town in October.
Colonel Abdifitah Hajji Aden, Puntland military court chief, said two other men believed to be IS fighters were sentenced to life in custody, the Shabelle Media Network reported.
Several other IS suspects were given between 5 and 20-years jail terms.
IS already controls large swathes of Syria and Iraq and has allies in several African countries, such as Nigeria, Libya and Egypt. The group has been trying to establish a foothold in East Africa.
Somalia-based al-Shabaab terrorists, who pledged alliance with al-Qaeda in 2012, have been increasingly urged by IS to join their struggle.
In October 2015, an al-Shabaab commander and recruiter, British citizen Abdul Qadir Mumin,pledged alliance to IS, from his base in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, north-eastern Somalia.
On 26 October 2016, Somali militants affiliated to IS seized the town of Qandala in Puntland, marking the first time IS captured territories in East Africa. However, Puntland forces claimed an offensive had already succeeded in driving IS militants out from Qandala.
Experts and analysts believe the scale of ex-Shabaab militants now loyal to IS is still small and Shabaab remains predominantly loyal to al-Qaeda.
However, the 2015 Shabaab defection and a link with Nigeria-based Boko Haram terrorists, who now represent the ‘Islamic State’s West Africa Province (Iswap)‘, suggest IS might try to continue its expansion in East Africa.
Earlier this year, Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh claimed Boko Haram had been training in Somalia for some time. The leader suggested al-Shabaab and Boko Haram “were linked” and could destabilise the whole Horn of Africa “and by and large, the African continent”. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I've been thinking a lot on admiration lately simply because of something a friend said. They have adopted a special needs kiddo who is blind. She mentioned people admiring them for it and asks that people not do that....because they didn't do anything special.
The crux of the issue is her heart. This beautiful couple doesn't think they did anything special. And yet they did. The fact that they view the adoption, knowing they now have a child that faces life long challenges, as nothing worth admiring, is beautifully and profoundly logical. They want everyone to know that if they can do it, you can do it. They don't want people putting them on a pedestal, in awe of the choice they made, because they want you to know you are just like them. They want you to realize they aren't special and because they aren't, you don't need to be special to adopt either.
There is 100% truth in that.
You don't need to be special to adopt. You just need to follow God's call on your life...showing up and saying yes even when it doesn't make sense because He WILL equip you. Some people don't think they are called, don't want to be called, or ignore the call because they think they aren't something special.
God works all the time with naysayers, skeptics, and the least expected. He delights in showing off when we simply show up. We don't have to have it all together in order to be used by God. I know I'd never be ready if God waited on me to have everything perfect before proceeding. I'd never get anywhere.
What makes my friend so "special"? She simply said yes and continues to do so. She said yes to hope. She said yes to risk. She said yes to challenges. She said yes to commitment. She said yes to the unknowns because she knows Who knows our unknown. How many of us are willing to do that? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The mission of the Faculty of Schooling and Behavioral Sciences is to prepare college students to be efficient residents and professional educators, administrators, counselors, and researchers who mirror Christ of their work and service. The coed was desirous to expand his abilities and wished to share what he was studying, however he was struggling at school. Younger college students use a microscope for the first time, as they look at micro organism a “Discovery Day” organized by Big Brother Mouse , a literacy and schooling mission in Laos.
UDV-Bagland is a discussion board for college students who have the braveness to discuss the best way to make training science a fair higher degree programme. Also delivered by the ACA, Dive into Code will provide a collection of fun and fascinating coding actions and challenges for college kids in Years 4 to 12.
Which is why we’re committed to creating new methods of utilizing science and training to shape this future by way of analysis, collaboration and immersive studying. VET Certificate IV Graduates: To be thought of, applicants with science or schooling based certificate IV level studies would require common results of at least 80%.
You discover the position of mathematics and natural sciences in society, considering historic backgrounds and the present state of scientific analysis in these areas In programs equivalent to ‘Science Communication and Journalism’ and ‘Science and the Public’ students orient on the primary pathways by which scientific knowledge reaches society. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

She finally got the cast off her leg/ankle. It's hard to believe that two months have passed since the horrific car accident.
Nathan wanted to give Holly his little stuffed lion with magnets in its legs because she already had a collection of these in her room. She seemed very pleased to see Nathan and to add another critter to her menagerie.
I'll give a more detailed update later but Holly seemed upbeat and very positive today. Thanks for your ongoing prayers on her behalf. I know that Ken & Beth (Holly's parents) appreciate that so much.
Holly was quite willing for me to take this picture and she knows it will be appearing here on my site. Now that you see this photo it may enable you to pray more intelligently. THANK YOU! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The current Barbiecore trend is thought to have gotten its start in 2019, fueled by fans on Pinterest and then Tiktok and Etsy. It has only gained steam since then. The brand, launched in 1959, has a midcentury-modern sensibility that is attractive to many consumers, as well as the nostalgic appeal of a favorite childhood toy, and it lends itself to memes and other humorous takes. It also fits with an on-trend Y2K style reminiscent of the Legally Blonde era. And the hot pink, magenta, fuchsia, and other pink hues, which are the most notable feature of the trend, have resonated with people who want to add the joy of color to their lives during recent hard times.
Mattel and its Barbie licensing and marketing initiatives have helped solidify the trend, too. Anticipation for the Barbie movie in July 2023—especially after the first stills came out last summer—has been a factor, as has the 60th anniversary of the Barbie Dreamhouse this year. The reimagining of the brand over the past few years to add more diversity and female empowerment has also contributed to its high profile. And of course there are the many official collaborations with fashion labels, from luxury to streetwear, which have occurred throughout Barbie’s lifetime but have proliferated of late.
A significant number of collaborations beyond the official Mattel efforts are inspired by the trend, sometimes for an entire collection and other times for a couple of key items. Following are a few recent examples, each called out by fashion publications, reviewers, fans, and/or the brands themselves for their Barbiecore appeal. Pieces in the collections skew toward miniskirts, swimwear, loungewear, purses, and accessories such as the doll would wear, but their overriding feature is that bright pink:
- Alice + Olivia’s collection with Slip, a maker of good-for-your-skin turbans, scrunchies, face coverings, pillowcases, and other items made from silk, includes a Barbiecore-friendly range of scrunchies, sleep masks, and hair wraps in various shades and patterns of bright pink.
- Lauren Luyendyk, best known as a contestant on The Bachelor, paired with Cupshe for an apparel and accessories collection for women and girls that includes a bright fuchsia romper and several ruffly pink tulle skirts and dresses, among other pieces.
- Bella Hadid’s collaboration with the online fashion shop About You features, amid a palette of mostly black, beige, cabernet, sage, and white, a number of pink pieces, including blouses, short-sleeved shirts, knitted crop tops and skirts, and other items. The “Grace” shirt is most emblematic of the trend and has been called out in reviews.
- Singer Avril Lavigne paired with Killstar for an alt-rock, skate-inspired collection of crop tops, joggers, and bralettes that is reminiscent of Y2K style—her top era for record sales—and incorporates plenty of bubblegum pink, along with black and orange, overlaid with skeleton-themed patterns. It is described by one reviewer as “Barbiecore meets spooky season.”
Among Barbie’s many official collaboration partners, meanwhile, are pajama maker PJ Salvage, for sleep sets; EMU Australia for pink slippers and boots; home goods brand Backdrop for Barbie Dreamhouse paint and wall coverings in pink, purple, and teal; Canadian fashion label Hilary MacMillan for ready-to-wear apparel for women and girls; loungewear and apparel brand Barefoot Dreams for a hoodie, bike shorts, robe, beach towel, mask, scrunchie, and sock set, also inspired by the Dreamhouse; and Maserati for a limited-edition, hot pink Maserati Grecale that is one of the luxury items in Neiman Marcus’ fantasy gift catalog for 2022.

Kickstarter comes to the rescue again for independent film and brings Phil Holbrook’s vision to life. With the help of 223 backers and a total haul of just over $15,000, TILT was filmed in Brainerd, Minnesota. As director, Holbrook was looking to tell the story of Paul and his daughter, Liz as they trudge through a tough time in their lives.
“Paul hasn’t connected with his daughter for over 10 years, but when their world is turned upside down by an unthinkable act, he has to decide what’s more important: doing the right thing or setting things right? TILT is about revenge & forgiveness, betrayal & redemption, and second chances…small town style.”
Our main cast members, Wade Dienert (Paul) and Danielle West (Liz), are solid actors and give the film some needed substance. However, the crown jewel of TILT is actress Laura Busch. She plays the odd and irritable Marlene and is able to command the screen with ease. Her facial expressions alone make me want to work with her and her acting ability is just an added bonus.
Although the acting is fairly solid and the characters are likable, the story has a tendency to drag from time to time. The film has a 77 minute running that is great for festivals and keeping the audience involved, however the scenes can run a bit long and the locations are somewhat repetitive. But the cinematography by Jeremy Doyle helps the film out in all the right places. His shots are crystal clear and the smooth movements of the camera are a directors dream. A round of applause goes out the Doyle and I would love to see him take some more chances with different angles and lighting in his next project.
So, if you are in the mood for a thriller with topped with revenge, then check out this Midwest film. And as always, support indie horror! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Adults with Executive Function deficit “find that they just can’t manage the organizational type of responsibilities of some of their work, and so they start falling behind. But when you improve their executive function, it just lets them perform better.”
—R. Scott Benson, MD

Why You Should Cruise to UNESCO World Heritage Sites
At its core, the true spirit of travel lies in the exploration of new frontiers and the discovery of exciting new destinations. From visiting the ruins of an ancient civilization to trekking the depths of a wild, tropical jungle, planet Earth offers a near-infinite amount of opportunities to inject a sense of curiosity and adventure into your vacation. But with an unlimited number of destinations to choose from, it can be challenging to decide which spots to visit and which ones to skip. In this blog, I will share why visiting UNESCO World Heritage Sites can turn an ordinary vacation into a rewarding cultural experience.
What Are UNESCO World Heritage Sites?
In 1972, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) held a General Conference to establish a list of internationally protected heritage sites deemed historically and culturally significant to our understanding of human civilization. The goal behind establishing such a list is to preserve destinations worldwide so that future generations can continue learning from them. According to the UNESCO website, world heritage “is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration.”
As of 2023, there are currently 1,157 protected heritage sites around the world, with destinations such as the ancient city of Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef making the list. The benefit of such diverse sites is that there is something to pique everybody’s interest. From exploring ancient ruins to traversing tropical jungles, visiting UNESCO World Heritage Sites is guaranteed to spark the adventurous spirit in anyone.
Another benefit of visiting these locations is the surreal connection in these protected spaces. Imagine for a moment walking in the shadows of the Great Pyramids of Egypt , knowing that historical figures such as Cleopatra and Julius Caesar once marveled at the same ancient constructions. Visiting UNESCO World Heritage Sites truly connects you to the common thread of humanity that binds us all together, and that feeling is priceless.
Cruising To UNESCO Sites
Now imagine finding that priceless feeling during your cruise vacation. Cruises truly are the perfect vehicle by which to visit these extraordinary destinations. According to the most recent data published by UNESCO, the countries with the most protected World Heritage Sites are as follows: Italy, China, Germany, France, Spain, India, and Mexico. And luckily for cruisers, there are already plenty of cruise itineraries that journey through these regions of the world. Following is a short list of options for cruise vacations docking in these culturally rich destinations.
- Mediterranean Cruise: Barcelona – Athens
- This 11-night itinerary Royal Caribbean offers will take you through one of the most culturally rich regions of the world. From visiting the Old City of Salamanca in Spain, the Palace of Versailles in France, and the archaeological areas of Pompeii in Italy, this cruise is filled with UNESCO World Heritage Sites to discover.
- India Cruise: India, Sri Lanka, & Thailand
- Taking the “Spice Route” with Celebrity Cruises will allow you to traverse the wonders of Southeast Asia on an unforgettable 12-night journey. From the Taj Mahal to the Great Himalayan National Park Conservation Area, this itinerary boasts the best of India and beyond.
- China Cruise: Shanghai – Hong Kong
- This five-night cruise from Royal Caribbean will grant you the privilege of discovering the best destinations East Asia offers. China is home to many UNESCO sites, the most famous being the Great Wall. Booking this cruise vacation will guarantee an unforgettable exploration of this magnificent culture.
Visiting UNESCO World Heritage Sites allows you to explore the rich and vast history of human civilization, expanding your horizons and discovering new and unique ideas and perspectives. By using your cruise vacation to explore these heritage sights, you are ensuring that your trip is filled with excitement and wonder, and, after all, that’s what traveling is all about.

This week saw a fascinating dustup as some of the blogosphere’s notables tussled with some journalists over how to conduct an interview. Wired’s Fred Vogelstein wanted a phoner; the bloggers, Jason Calacanis and Dave Winer, wanted either to answer questions by email (in Calacanis’s case) or (in Winer’s case) to receive questions by email and answer, publicly, on his blog. There was considerable snit on the part of several Wired writers in defense of their colleague once the bloggers went public with their disagreement.
If you want the full details, you can read about it on Calacanis’s blog and on Winer’s, and you can read Jeff Jarvis’s impassioned explication of the “empowered interviewee.” Vogelstein tells his side here.
It’s undeniable that pros prefer phoners. Partly it’s because the phone is fast, and most senior-level reporters today learned their craft when the phone was really the only channel available. Also, it’s because a good reporter can capture an extra bit of color by listening to an interviewee’s voice and tone. But mostly, it’s because reporters hope to use the conversational environment as a space in which to prod, wheedle, cajole and possibly trip up their interviewee.
Any reporter who doesn’t admit this is lying, either to his listener or to himself. Phone conversations have the additional advantage of (usually) leaving no record, giving journalism’s more malicious practitioners a chance to distort without exposure, and its lazier representatives an opportunity to goof without fear. (I have no reason to believe Vogelstein is either. But in his email to Calacanis, which the reporter later posted himself, Vogelstein explained his preference by saying, “Email leaves too much room for misinterpretation. You can’t hear the tone in someone’s voice.” And that just sounds disingenuous coming from someone who earns his living writing text — unless Vogelstein has reinvented himself as a podcaster while I wasn’t looking.)
Why are we hearing about more interviewees shunning the phone? As Winer argued and Dan Gillmor argued and I agree, too many journalists get too much stuff wrong, and self-defense is a reasonable concern, given the likelihood of misquotation, out-of-context quotation and factual error.
The pros are going to keep lining up to explain why the phone interview is superior, but I haven’t yet seen a persuasive argument. On a BusinessWeek blog, Heather Green says she prefers reporting by phone or in person because “a conversation allows me to do followup questions.” Gee, I’ve done tons of email interviews, and nearly all of them involved followup questions. But what’s most revealing here is the misunderstanding (Green isn’t unique here, it’s widespread) of how blogging works.
Blogging is a conversation. That’s not a metaphor — it’s a simple fact that this story itself illustrates: Calacanis and Winer and Vogelstein and Gillmor and Green and many others have been having one such exchange (and now I’m chiming in too). To argue that the amongst-blog conversation doesn’t allow followups is ridiculous; if anything, our blog conversations have too many followups — and they have a hard time finding a graceful ending (though that optimist David Weinberger finds positive value in this lack of closure).
But in the online conversation, the reporter doesn’t get the last word. And the reporter doesn’t get to filter which parts of the conversation are available to the public. No wonder journalists want to stick with the phone. But I think it’s going to keep getting harder for them to get their sources to take the calls.

Every Bee City USA affiliate starts with a pollinator champion. Could you be that champion for your community?
Earth Week is an inspiring time, brimming with opportunities to make a difference in the days following Earth Day—and beyond. If you want to mobilize your city or county to make room for pollinators, then the Xerces Society’s initiative, Bee City USA, might have the formula you need. The program galvanizes communities to sustain pollinators by providing them with healthy habitat, rich in a variety of native plants and free to nearly free of pesticides. Since the program’s establishment in 2012, 81 cities and 68 colleges have become affiliates—with a formalized commitment to protect pollinators.
Every Bee City USA affiliate starts with a pollinator champion. Could you be that champion for your community? Here’s how:
1. Visit Bee City USA’s website
Begin by learning more about Bee City USA, and its sister initiative, Bee Campus USA—and check out our growing lists of affiliate cities and campuses!
For those ready to apply, the website provides an overview of the application process and other resources. We ask that you submit a draft application and draft resolution for our approval before the application is finalized or the resolution is adopted. Just give us a call at (503) 232-6639 any time you have a question. We’re here to help.
2. Identify Other Friends of Pollinators and Biodiversity
The most important step is bringing all of the advocates together so that your community has a committed pollinator conservation team for years to come. Make a list of local groups that might care about conserving pollinators—garden clubs, civic groups, environmental organizations, beekeepers, Native Plant Society, environmental educators, garden centers, civic clubs, tree board, environmental advisory board, sustainability commission, parks and recreation commission… Ask them if you could take 10 minutes at an upcoming meeting to introduce them to the Bee City USA program. After each presentation, ask your host to submit a letter of endorsement addressed to the mayor—following the Bee City USA template.
3. Request Meeting with Mayor or City Council Member
Once you know you have support from the community, ask to meet with the mayor or a city council member to introduce them to Bee City USA. Toward the end of your meeting, share the endorsement letters you’ve collected and ask them if your community would consider applying for Bee City USA certification.
4. Respond to Questions
City staff will usually have questions about the commitments: “What will it cost?” “How much staff time is required?” “Does it require the city to create a new commission?” “Does it mean we can never use any herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides again?” There is plenty of information on the Bee City USA website to guide your answers to these questions, and if you need to, you can also email us at [email protected]. We’ll do our best to promptly respond to each question!
5. Identify Who Will Lead Your Local Effort
Collaborate with city staff and the elected body to determine whether the local Bee City USA effort will be led by city staff, by an existing or new city commission, or a nonprofit committee. Regardless of the leadership you choose, a city department should “sponsor” the effort and a staff member from that department should serve as the city’s liaison to the committee.
6. Submit Application & Draft Resolution
Now that you have consensus, the next step is to complete the application and draft the resolution following the Bee City USA template. When you’re satisfied with both, email [email protected] to ask that they be reviewed. You should receive feedback within a week, if not sooner. Neither the Pollinator Habitat Plan (recommended species list and pollinator-friendly Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan) nor the integration of the Plan into the city’s master plans have to be completed prior to applying. In fact, developing those plans is a great way to engage your committee for the first couple of years. When you apply, you are simply making the commitment to accomplish those initial steps and make your community more and more pollinator-friendly each year.
7. City Council Votes on Resolution
After the city votes to adopt the resolution, email a scanned copy to Bee City USA and pay the initial application fee. Bee City USA generally certifies new affiliates by email within a week if not sooner. The email will have information about getting started.
Celebrate the city’s commitment to pollinator conservation, and invite the whole community to enhance habitat.
Thank you for your commitment to support pollinators. Together, we can make a big difference for the “little things that run the world.”

On 30 July 2006, local newspapers have highlighted that the National Registration Department have come up with a list of “undesirable” names for Malays, Chinese and Indians.
“Among the no-no names for Malays are Zaniah (female adulterer) and Woti (sexual intercourse). Zani is a male adulterer.
While it is crass to name your son, Ah Kow (dog), the department has also Ah Gong (unsound mind), Chai Too (pig), Kai Chai(chick) and Sum Seng (gangster) on its “undesirable list”.
Besides Karruppan (black fellow), other Indian names which are quite “colourful” are in the undesirable list, like Sivappi and Vellayan (both meaning fair), and Amma-kannu (mother’s eye).”
“…. parents are not allowed to name their babies after animals, insects, fruits, vegetables or colours…..”
[source – The New Straits Times]
Reading NRD has no right to dictate to parents and What if your name sounds like ‘waiting to use toilet’? [A prominent figure with a peculiar name, but he doesn’t mind it!], you will realise that the public are well versed with meaning of names and have no qualms in choosing distinctively unique names. So what if their old parents who may not have known how to read and write named them something which gave their children a hard time in school?
A person grows up being comfortable with his name. If you’re not, then fine, go ahead and have your name in your MyKad changed, and you’d have to go through a process of filing documents in court and the NRD. And they make it difficult for you.
I still have people having difficulties in pronouncing my name, but i’ll just smile and correct them, secretly thinking they’re just stupid fools. hehehe. So easy also cannot pronounce! ;P
How, now? I can’t name my children Velvet Zoukifli or Ruumi Haksikuens because they’re related to night spots and events? ;P

Wellington Advertiser ~ June 6th 2014
by Kris Svela
KENILWORTH – Wellington North council has thrown its support behind a D-Day tribute planned for Arthur.
Organizer Bob McEachern told council the focus of the June 7 program will be the 12th Field Regiment which was mobilized by men from north Wellington County prior to the war and served in the war. He said the artillery unit was one of the first to lay fire down during the D-Day landings in France. The date of the service coincides with the 70th anniversary of the largest amphibious landing in history.
Among the preparations for the event McEachern said efforts have been underway to track the genealogy of the 1,700 men who served in the regiment. Most of the soldiers genealogy, which includes what they did when they returned home after the war, has never been tracked because records of survivors were never kept, he said.
McEachern said a remembrance service will also be held for the regiment’s 74 men who were killed.
The organizer said he has been making presentations at school in a bid to have students attend the event, which is also expected to have a military historian.
“I need the 12-year-olds, the 15-year-olds because if they don’t know what went on in their history then it’s gone,” McEachern added.Mayor Ray Tout credited McEachern with organizing the event. He said judging be participation of young people at Remembrance Day events in Arthur and Mount Forest he would expect they will turn out for the June 7 event.
“I’m very proud to see we have a lot of youth attending,” Tout said of Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Tout also credited teaching staff for keeping the war memories alive.
“I’m glad in the teaching staff in our community for keeping this alive in our community,” the mayor said.
The event will take place June 7 starting at 1pm in Arthur and ending at 4pm. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
What Are CBD Bath Bombs?
A CBD Bath Bomb is a specially formulated bath bomb infused with cannabidiol. Our CBD Bath Bomb formulas contain 200mg of pure, wellness-boosting CBD isolate, plus specially sourced herbs and essential oils. Our four signature bath bombs—Soothing Lavender, Recharge Eucalyptus, Calming Lemongrass & Chamomile, and Hydrating Mango & Shea Butter—create an unforgettably refreshing bathing experience that will leave you satisfied physically and spiritually. And with no dyes to stain your tub or irritate your skin, you’ll emerge relaxed and renewed.
How to Use a CBD Bath Bomb
To use a CBD Bath Bomb, simply drop the bomb in warm water, and then swirl it around with your hand or foot, allowing it to slowly fizzle until completely dissolved. Then, simply soak in your bath, enjoying all the benefits of a topical CBD product as it absorbs into the pores of your skin.
There is no specific recommendation regarding how long to bathe with one of our CBD bombs, but in general you can aim for a bath somewhere between 20 and 40 minutes long to get the full CBD benefits. Of course, ideally, you want to get out before your skin gets too wrinkly.
One bath bomb should be enough for your needs, depending on the volume of water and size of your tub. However, if you do choose to use more than one at a time, we recommend using the same formula bomb, so you can feel one consistent effect.

The Internet of Things (IoT) with billions of connected devices has been generating an enormous amount of data every hour.
A very large number of public and private data sets are available from local governments and are a huge resources for Europe and for the cities. In most cases, the citizens use worldwide operators such as Google, OpenStreet Map, Here, TomTom, etc., to get information while they found it in most cases insufficient for who is leaving in the city. The local governs have much more detailed data, some of them are public other are private and accessible only as authenticated services and thus not easily accessible for worldwide operators. These open and private valuable data are too fragmented and not accessible for the final users, citizens or companies that use to exploit them for providing services. They could be a source of revenues and are becoming a big business for local specific services, too small and complex to be of interest for worldwide operators.
In order to solve the above described problems and provide a unique point of access for interoperable data of a city metropolitan area we have realized (http://www.disit.org/km4city ) an ontological model called Km4City and well formalized and open grounded on ontology standards. In addition, a set of tools for data ingestion, management, aggregation, indexing and for producing in short time web and mobile applications have been realized and make accessible. The solution is presently today in place in Florence and whole Tuscany area. A smarter navigation can be performed from http://servemap.disit.org while mobile applications are accessible on Google Play and Apple Store.
The Km4City solution is covering multiple domains for citizens integrating aspects of mobility and transport, with energy, banks, parking, commercial, bike paths, delay for busses, garden areas, etc. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

WASHINGTON, Aug 17 (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday escalated its objections to Mexico's curbs on genetically modified corn imports, requesting a dispute settlement panel under the North American trade pact, the U.S. Trade Representative's office said.
The request to send the dispute to arbitrators was announced after formal consultations failed to resolve deep divisions between the two close trading partners over use of genetically modified (GM) corn, widely produced by U.S. farmers.
Mexico's Economy Ministry said it would defend its GM corn policies before the dispute panel, saying on the social media platform X that they "are consistent with trade obligations."
Washington alleges that Mexico's decree banning imports of GM corn used in dough and tortillas for human consumption is not based on science and violates its commitments under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade launched in 2020.
If the panel rules in favor of the U.S. and Mexico fails to comply with its directives, USTR could ultimately win the right to impose punitive tariffs on Mexican goods, which could spark a rare North American trade war.
U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said in a statement that the move was aimed at enforcing Mexico's USMCA obligations to maintain science-based regulations on agricultural biotechnology.
"It is critical that Mexico eliminate its USMCA-inconsistent biotechnology measures so that American farmers can continue to access the Mexican market and use innovative tools to respond to climate and food security challenges," Tai said.
Mexico now buys about $5 billion worth of U.S. GM corn annually, mostly for livestock feed. It says biotech corn harms native varieties and may have adverse health effects, an assertion that the U.S. side disputes.
Mexico's also plans to ban the herbicide glyphosate, which it considers dangerous amid lawsuit settlements with cancer patients despite regulators worldwide determining its safety. Many GM corn varieties are modified to tolerate the herbicide.
Canada's Trade Ministry, which has sided with U.S. concerns about Mexico's corn policies, "is considering its next steps," a spokesperson said, adding Trade Minister Mary Ng "has consistently been clear about the importance of maintaining science-based approaches to biotechnology approvals."
Corn futures temporarily pared gains at the Chicago Board of Trade after USTR's announcement as traders worried the spat could threaten U.S. exports to Mexico.
The panel request follows 75 days of formal consultations requested by U.S. officials in June. Mexico has sought U.S. cooperation to jointly conduct scientific research on the health impacts of genetically modified corn, but Mexican officials told Reuters on Aug. 3 that their U.S. counterparts denied the request.
"Mexico's approach to biotechnology is not based on science and runs counter to decades' worth of evidence demonstrating its safety and the rigorous, science-based regulatory review system that ensures it poses no harm to human health and the environment," U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in the statement.
He added that innovations in agricultural biotechnology to enhance yields also help ease challenges on global food and nutrition security, climate change and food price inflation.
USTR's decision drew cheers from U.S. corn trade groups and U.S. lawmakers from both parties, who say Mexico's policies were hurting U.S. farmers.
"U.S. officials have exhausted every avenue trying to resolve this conflict and are left with no other choice but to turn to a third-party panel in hopes of quickly rectifying this issue," National Corn Growers Association Tom Haag said in a statement. "We are deeply appreciative of USTR for standing up for America’s corn growers."
Republican Senator Deb Fischer of Nebraska said the move would "hold Mexico accountable and prevent its blatant trade violation under the USMCA."
Under USMCA's dispute settlement rules, a five-person panel, chosen from a roster of pre-approved experts, must be convened within 30 days, with a chair jointly chosen and the U.S. side choosing two Mexican panelists and Mexico choosing two American panelists. The panel will review testimony and written submissions and its initial report is due 150 days after the panel is convened.
Previous USMCA dispute panels last year ruled in the U.S.'s favor in a dispute over Canadian dairy quotas, and against the U.S. on automotive rules of origin, siding with Mexico and Canada.
There have been other disagreements between the U.S. and Mexico, most notably over energy in which the U.S. has argued that Mexico's nationalist policy prejudices foreign companies. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

John Cena on Nikki Bella Breakup: ‘I Love Her and I Miss Her’
John Cena has opened up about his split from Nikki Bella just a little more than a week after the couple announced they were ending their engagement and going their separate ways.
Cena told E! News at the premiere of Bumblebee at Cinemacon Thursday (April 26) that he's got no ill will toward his ex, and that he can only heal his heart by continuing down his current path.
Cena and Bella had planned to get married on May 5.
“Nicole knows I love her and I miss her, but that is what it is. And I’m still here, still going—and I choose to go,” he said. “When you love somebody, it stings...That’s why musicians write about it. That’s why poets write about it...Life sometimes is tough, but it is life and it goes on."
A source previously told Entertainment Tonight earlier this month that the topic of starting a family is what eventually caused irreparable relationship damage.
"Nikki and John truly love each other, but they will never have the same view on a perfect future," the source said. "Nikki has always dreamt of having a family of her own and John does not want children and that was the main cause of their break up. They are both dedicated to their careers, but Nikki wants more than just that."
Nikki's twin sister Brie told People that in light of the split, Cena will always be a part of the family.
“I will always love John as a brother, and I will always look at him like that,” she said. “If one day our relationship fades, then so it does, but as of right now I want to be there for him as much as I’m there for my sister. And Nicole respects that. He will always be family.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Most people you hear on the radio have some similar story about how they got hired right out of college, but not Hairball. In the middle of his 10-day college career, he was “discovered” (as he likes to put it) in a casino bar, where he was having a drink around 11 am. Shortly after, he started working with the Dwyer & Michaels Morning Show, which he’d been listening to every day since he rode to school with his dad in Kindergarten, except the day in third grade that Grandma drove and the guys were talking embarrassing boner stories. You can hear Hairball weekdays on the Dwyer & Michaels Morning Show, or on Saturdays from 6-8 am and 10 am-noon when he hosts on the station he grew up with.

Following the recent low rating of Nigeria by Transparency International on corruption perception, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) Worldwide has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to do more in fighting corruption, saying those in the president’s party, the APC and the main opposition party, the PDP are responsible for the low rating.
The Council in a statement signed by the the President General, Mazi Okechukwu isiguzoro and Secretary General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike accused Transparency International’s report which rated Nigeria 146 out of the 180 Countries on the 2019 Corruption Perception index of bias, maintaining that they didn’t take into consideration the achievements recorded by President Muhammadu Buhari in his fight against corruption.
OYC also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to review his tactics in the fight against corruption and ensure that politically exposed people, including former governors, Senators whether in APC or PDP are sent behind bars as a way to send strong message that there is no selective prosecution of corrupt individuals.
Read full release below
Nigeria’s Transparency Int’l low ranting: Buhari should Fight Corruption Fiercely by Jailing More Sacred Cows and Untouchables, blames low rating on the Corruption in APC and PDP… Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
(1) Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had viewed the recent poor ranking of Nigeria in the Corruption index by Transparency Int’l with Mixed Feelings,as Nigeria is now ranked 146 out of the 180 Countries on the 2019 Corruption Perception index,Nigeria scored 26 out of 100 points according to Auwal Rafsanjani,Head of Transparency Int’l Nigeria, OYC described the Perception reports credited to Transparency int’l as biased verdict, not true reflection of what is on the ground, not fact based research largely influenced by Opposition parties and omitted the achievements recorded so far by President Muhammadu Buhari’s courage to pursue fight against corruption, the recent pronouncement of Transparency Int’l though a respected int’l Perception reports based on third party information, but the reality on ground disputes the perception as baised verdict, as OYC insists there are more gains in the fight against Corruption,but Nigerians should accept indictment by TI is a blessing in disguise,as Presidency should advance to the next level of the Anti Corruption war, without perceived being Selective as a way prove the TI reports was not true reflection of what is on the ground.
(2) FG should review their tactics in the fight against Corruption,by Jailing those untouchables but overrated sacred cows whose pending cases had lasted more than a decade in various courts or swept under the Carpet,there should be accelerated hearings and Judgement on those cases involving most Former Governors,Ministers,Senators and others, from both the Ruling party and Opposition parties, there should be strict adherence to Rule of law, Strict reflection of Federal Character in sharing of political Appointments and independence of the Judiciary and Legislative arms of Government should be encouraged, failed contractors and subcontractors should be in Jail, especially as Nigeria and international Community await the Presidency forensic investigative reports of the huge fraud harvest in NDDC Projects across 9 States, Nigerians expect fierce but radical approach towards sanitasing corruption in public institutions, and political parties,Anti Graft agencies, EFCC and ICPC should investigate allegations of Corruption levelled against Some National Party Chairmen and leaders, whether in the APC,PDP or other political parties,as the Perception index of Transparency Int’l,even though seen as third party baised verdict should serve as a motivational force For Presidency to be more fierce and ruthless in Fighting Corruption and Jail Sacred Cows both in APC and PDP, as We applaud Federal Government on recent judgements that saw some corrupt Politicians be in detention.
(3) President Muhammadu Buhari has nothing to lose if our Prisons are filled to brim and later Converted to a Museum for Convicted Corrupt Politicians before the end of 2020, mostly Those jostling for 2023 whose pending cases are still in Court or stalled,should be accelerated and those who are victims of political vendetta whose cases are publicly viewed as sheer witch-hunting should be allowed to regain freedom and their properties, but those who crossed carpet from One political party to another in other to invade prosecution and was declared Political Saints by Adams Oshiomole Should be tried and if found guilty should be Jailed,OYC laud So far the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime in the fight against Corruption,as History will vindicate the Just.

Computer Security Research with Human Subjects: Risks, Benefits and Informed Consent
Computer security research frequently entails studying real computer systems and their users; studying deployed systems is critical to understanding real world problems, so is having would-be users test a proposed solution. In this paper we focus on three key concepts in regard to ethics: risks, benefits, and informed consent. Many researchers are required by law to obtain the approval of an ethics committee for research with human subjects, a process which includes addressing the three concepts focused on in this paper. Computer security researchers who conduct human subjects research should be concerned with these aspects of their methodology regardless of whether they are required to by law, it is our ethical responsibility as professionals in this field. We augment previous discourse on the ethics of computer security research by sparking the discussion of how the nature of security research may complicate determining how to treat human subjects ethically. We conclude by suggesting ways the community can move forward.

By Laurie Coker
Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies is a subtle, yet emotionally stirring, historically-based film. Co-writers Joel and Ethan Coen, from an original script by Matt Charman, weave a watchable tale of cold war espionage, but perhaps more importantly, they offer up sharp dialogue and rich characters that clearly represent the theme of honor amongst men. Coming in not too far off award season, Bridge of Spies offers up at least two prize-worthy performances by Tom Hanks and co-star Mark Rylance. Occasionally a bit to feel-goody in tone for such a serious subject, over all, Bridge of Spies demonstrates what quality film’s look like.
Set during the late 1950s and spanning into the 60s, when the cold war loomed, bomb shelters seemed a viable family investment, children learned to duck and cover under school desks, the Berlin wall appeared and integrity was still a valuable commodity, Spielberg’s film follows the arrest and subsequent conviction of Rudolph Abel (Rylance), an artist, principled man and a soviet spy. His American insurance lawyer, James B. Donovan (Hanks), who once practiced criminal law, takes the case. From the onset, Donovan, recruited by the CIA, plans to offer Abel the best possible defense, in spite of threats and harassment and pressure from the higher-ups. Sticking hard to his values, Donovan sees Abel as a man, just like any other, who does what he does for God and country, and Donovan defends him as such. As a strategy to keep him alive, Donovan uses the possibility of Abel as a potential means for prisoner negotiations between the US and Germany and Russia, Donovan keeps Able off death row, and not long afterwards, he finds himself in a tricky game where prisoners are pawns and masterful deception determines the outcome of people lives.
Hanks is perfection as Donovan, once again demonstrating his gift as an actor. Next to him it might be a challenge to stand out, but Rylance, a renowned stage actor, does. When the pair appears together entertaining, charismatic interaction transpires, their time impeccable. Because of them, an outstanding supporting cast and seamless pacing by Spielberg, the film’s 142 minute run time flies by. Cinematographer Janusz Kamiński takes every advantage of Adam Stockhausen remarkable production design and the proof is in the details and the flawlessness in each scene. The audience is there, transported to a time in history and while little really happens (not a typically spy thriller) and it is held, mesmerized to the edge of the seats.
Bridge of Spies,rated PG-13, might have been more aptly titled Standing Man, but regardless of this opinion, Spielberg gives us a gift – a gorgeous movie, with notable talent from original script to screen. It harbors the nuances of a vintage film, and even with the heart-tuggy moments, it feels genuine in all ways positive. I am placing an A in my grade book. If vintage denotes integrity and decency, then Bridge of Spies is textbook in these themes. We need men now, like Donovan and Abel, men who while diverse in lives and culture, exemplify what it means to be honorable. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Georgian Patriarchate has reminded demonstrators protesting the Tbilisi Pride march today that their actions ‘must only be peaceful’ after demonstrators demolished tents on Rustaveli Avenue, threw eggs and bottles at several buildings, attacked journalists and broke into the Tbilisi Pride office.
The Patriarchate, which condemned the holding of the Tbilisi Pride march in a previous statement and urged people to take to the street against the Tbilisi Pride march, has stated that ‘they protest the propaganda of sin, but the church prays for everyone, including the Tbilisi Pride participants.’

The Patriarchate said that ‘Christ is love and he encourages love between people,’ adding that any escalation of the situation is unacceptable.
Individuals protesting the Tbilisi Pride march began gathering on Rustaveli Avenue earlier today.
Initially they demolished tents on Rustaveli Avenue which were opened by the opposition in previous days to protest election-related issues.
They accused the opposition of supporting Tbilisi Pride.

Then they threw bottles and eggs at the offices of civic movement Shame and the Tbilisi Pride.
Several demonstrators broke into the Tbilisi Pride office from the balcony.
Tbilisi Pride organisers stated that they are safe because they left the building earlier.
According to media reports about 20 journalists have been attacked by the demonstrators.

Georgian Public Defender Nino Lomjaria has called on the Interior Ministry to prevent disorder by the demonstrators.
She also said that the recent statement by Georgian PM Irakli Garibashvili that the Tbilisi Pride march may lead to civic confrontation further complicated the tension. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Everyone knows over the past three years, the Midwest has been hit by some vastly different weather every summer. Starting with flooding in 2019, heavy rainfall in 2020, and drought and heatwave in 2021.
Immediately, Vince Wertman’s mind jumps to the customers and what’s happening in their fields. Crops aren’t the only thing in their field, you know — extreme weather, especially heat, can affect all the microorganisms living in the growers’ field soil.
A question Vince, Regional Sales Manager and Technical Services Director at Agrauxine – North America, gets asked often is: “How do I prepare when I don’t know what the weather will be like this year?”
The quick answer – just be aware. We’ve had adverse conditions in the past, so be aware that it might happen again this upcoming growing season. In addition, give your crops a boost with a biological to help them and the soil be protected against those adverse conditions. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Free for 28 days! Download it now
Everything you need to plan and fly.
Additional situational awareness for your flights with our synthetic view.
The ultimate plan with advanced weather and high-resolution satellite imagery.
As a PPL, this app has changed my life, no exaggeration. No more bothering with a paper map often badly folded, more or less torn... Moreover, like a GPS in the car, Air Nav Pro guides me, tells me where I am, prevents me from entering TRAs, TSAs... My attention is more focused on piloting and the discovery of the landscapes.
Air Navigation Pro is our most important tool in the cockpit, bringing the navigation and the safety to a new level. Easy to manage and control through their Manager service and top notch customer service. Number one choice in our line of business!
Air Navigation Pro is the only application we can view Japanese aeronautical charts. It is very useful for flying in Japan, where airspaces are congested, because they are accurately displayed. Also, we can get the latest NOTAM in the app which improves the flight safety. The customer service is very kind and provide us with smooth support.
Hello, I am writing this review for all pilots who want a reliable application and a technical service that in case of problems respond immediately to your request. I work in air rescue and firefighting, it is very complicated to locate very small villages on a map in flight but with this application everything becomes very simple. That's why I 100% recommend this app that I have been using for many years now. BLUE SKIES
This powerful application has become essential for all our pilots.
This App helps me fly better and safe every day. The features are good not very expensive subscription. Moving maps, control spaces, terrain awareness are welcome features and are a boon when encountering weather.
Air Navigation Pro raises pilot workload reduction to a new level. It‘s intuitiveness and yet versatility is unmatched and makes every mission easier. The integrated cable chart is a real lifesaver for helicopter pilots and is a vital feature when flying in the Swiss valleys.
How can anyone explain so many benefits in such few lines... precision, amount of data provided, speed... the list would be endless. Being a lover of aviation and of things well done, I must say that this app is an excellent combination of both. I recommend this app with the same confidence as anyone in the world could recommend a Swiss watch!
The app is great! One of the best I used so far! I especially like the terrain function.
The app provides all the useful information you need for your flight.
When I started pilot training in 2015 and wanted to quickly get to know the wide world outside of the traffic pattern, I ended up at ANP looking for "my" flight navigation system. I like the clean user interface and the regular improvement of the software. So far, Air Navigation Pro hasn't let me down and my passengers benefit from visual guidance on cross-country flights.
The best application for VFR pilots. It's just great! I couldn't do without it anymore.
In-flight app testing conducted by CEO Johann Huguenin
and Oliver Maiwald, Product Manager of Air Navigation Pro
Air Navigation Pro was created in Switzerland in 2008 by Johann Huguenin, a developer and VFR pilot, by merging his two passions. Firstly developed only for his own needs, the application was then offered on the App Store and became a dazzling success simply by word of mouth. He surrounded himself with a dedicated team of passionate pilots and developers with whom he later achieved, by request of thousands of eager and enthusiastic users, to release a version for Android and to add a hundred more features to the app.
For several years now, Air Navigation has maintained a partnership with Airbus, the world leading aviation company: an application has been specially developed for them and integrated into their helicopters.
To this date, more than 350.000 pilots use our app around the world.
