A loss is bad news for Cathay Pacific and will cast fresh doubts on whether the airline can successfully turn itself around.
More passengers, higher ticket prices and a cargo rebound couldn’t save Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. from slumping into yet another loss. For Chief Executive Officer Rupert Hogg, that means his restructuring efforts need to strengthen further to turn the tide.
After back-to-back annual losses, the carrier is midway through a transformation program under Hogg, who has been cutting jobs and improving services to lure back the premium traveler since taking over as CEO in May 2017. Rival Singapore Airlines Ltd., which has a budget carrier under its wings and earned a profit in the quarter through June, has also been restructuring as Asia’s two marquee airlines grapple with the threat from low-fare carriers and the expansion of Chinese and Middle Eastern companies.
Cathay Pacific is “on track” to achieve sustainable long-term performance, Cathay Pacific Chairman John Slosar wrote Wednesday in a note to shareholders after saying earnings were dragged down by oil hedging losses and rising prices of jet fuel. Cathay shares fell 1.8 percent in Hong Kong after the numbers, the biggest loss in six weeks.
Under Hogg’s plan to tackle competition, Cathay Pacific has taken steps to improve its cabin offerings by providing wider choice of meals in business-class cabins on long-haul flights, added newer and more fuel-efficient aircraft to its fleet and started services to more destinations.
Also, at the back end of the aircraft — the economy class — the carrier is trying to boost revenue by adding another row of seats on its Boeing Co. 777 planes. The change will result in a 3-4-3 configuration, in line with the industry standard adopted by many premium carriers, although legroom would remain the same, Cathay said in March last year.
The carrier reported a net loss of HK$263 million ($34 million) for the six months through June, according to a statement on Wednesday. That compares with a loss of HK$2.05 billion a year earlier and the median estimate for a profit of HK$140 million in a Bloomberg News survey of five analysts.
Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon paid 32 percent more for fuel, the biggest expense for carriers in Asia, as a 19 percent surge in Brent crude during the period weighed on costs. Although fuel-hedging losses narrowed as Hogg scaled back contracts that were hurting the bottom line, they stood at HK$653 million, versus HK$3.24 billion a year earlier.
Still, all’s not bad news for Cathay. Some of the measures under the revamp plan are paying off. Passenger yield — a key metric of profitability measured by the money earned from carrying a customer per kilometer — rose 7.6 percent in the first half from a year ago to 55.4 Hong Kong cents, helped by increasing demand for its premium products. Cargo and mail yield jumped 16 percent to HK$1.93. Both the figures are their highest since 2015.
The carrier plans to hire more than 1,800 staff this year, Slosar told reporters at a briefing Wednesday in Hong Kong.
The trade war between the world’s two biggest economies has the potential to hurt the carrier significantly, Slosar said.
“We are keeping a close eye on things, especially how tariffs and currency movements could impact the demand for travel, and our revenue and cost,” he said.
Cathay Pacific’s loss doubled to HK$1.26 billion in 2017 as the emergence of Chinese carriers such as Air China Ltd., China Southern Airlines Co. and China Eastern Airlines Corp. took the sheen off Hong Kong as a transit hub. A profit of HK$792 million in the second half of 2017 was boosted by earnings from investments in associates including Air China, in which Cathay owns 18 percent.
Cathay Pacific has said that it plans to increase passenger capacity by 4 percent to 5 percent a year, at least until the Hong Kong airport’s third runway starts operating, and will increase frequencies on the most popular routes.
“Our airlines usually perform better in the second half of the year,” Slosar said in his note. “We expect this to be the case in 2018,” he said, adding fuel costs are set to rise while hedging losses will decline.

A man from West London has been jailed for a year for contempt of court after trying to defraud RSA out of £50,000 in a ‘crash for cash’ scam.
In 2009 Maharouf Fahad alleged that an RSA customer had crashed into him.
Fahad also claimed that three passengers were in his car at the time of the accident, all of whom were injured.
A year later, Fahad began legal proceedings against RSA and the case went to trial in 2012.
During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Fahad had lied about not knowing RSA’s customer prior to the accident.
It was proven that he did and that the accident had been staged, RSA said.
According to the insurer, the judge’s ruling paved the way for RSA and its lawyers, DWF, to commence contempt of court proceedings against Fahad.
RSA counter-fraud manager John Beadle said: “The court found that this accident was completely contrived and had it not been for the investigations carried out by RSA, Fahad and his associates would have walked away with nearly £50,000. Thankfully, through the robust stance we took with our lawyers, DWF, he is now in prison.

Very occasionally aphorisms come true. In the first instance, virtue was both its own reward and the early bird caught the worm. Or, put another way, a couple of weekends ago I got myself up and dressed on Saturday morning long before I actually wanted to be awake and took myself off to the grocery store to get it out of the way so that I could have time for the more interesting parts of my weekend. The reward for my virtue? I scored two of the few bundles of early local asparagus at Wilson Farms. In fact, I had a bag of green beans in my hand when I spied the slender green stalks of local asparagus out of the corner of my eye, turned around, dumped out the green beans and grabbed for the asparagus. It’s possible the Produce Manager at Wilson Farms laughed at me a little when I squeaked in excitement. Ask me if I cared; I had asparagus.
Since then I have eaten asparagus at every opportunity I can manufacture, and I have indulged in what is basically my favorite quick Spring dinner three times in ten days – which is to say, pan seared asparagus over arugula and topped with runny fried eggs. If you drizzle leftover spicy ranch dressing over the whole thing, it’s even better.
Other aphorisms that are occasionally painfully true; If you don’t like the weather in Boston, just wait 45 minutes. Some weeks I manage to coordinate what I’m serving with the weather nicely, and some weeks I’m really off the mark. Spring and Fall are particularly difficult in terms of predicting what the weather’s going to be doing four days after you make your menu plan. In Spring and Fall the weather can change radically between when I check it last thing at night before I go to bed, and when I wake up and get dressed seven hours later. However, this week I managed to totally nail it. I’m little smug about how perfectly I merged Spring bounty (asparagus & (okay not actually local) rhubarb) with rainy cold New England Spring weather (roasted butternut squash soup & grilled cheese sandwiches).
Confession. I don’t really have a recipe for this soup. It’s more of a throw things in a pot and figure it’ll all work out in the end kind of deal. Sometimes I add some fresh ginger. Sometimes I add some curry powder. Sometimes I leave out the cider. Sometimes I use pears instead of apples. Sometimes I add some maple syrup, sometimes I use honey or brown sugar. Sometimes I don’t bother to roast the squash and just simmer it until it’s tender and then puree. It all depends on what I have in my fridge when I make it, what kind of flavor profile I’m in the mood for, and how much time I have.
A rough rule of thumb for pretty much all pureed vegetable soups is 2-3 cups of liquid per 1 lb of raw vegetable (zucchini, butternut squash, sweet potato, acorn squash, cauliflower, etc.). I usually start with 2 cups/lb and then thin as needed/desired, but I also like my soups on the thick side – somewhere closer to a puree than a liquid, so you may want to add more liquid.
However, for the record and posterity this is how I made it for Dinner.
Preheat the oven to 350/375. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat very lightly with some oil. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Season cut side generously with salt, pepper, cinnamon, a drizzle of molasses, and a drizzle of olive oil. Turn cut side down and roast 45-60 minutes, until very tender. As soon as it comes out of the oven turn the squash over so it is cut side up (it’ll glue itself to the foil otherwise). Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes and then peel off the skin (it’ll peel right off – much easier than trying to do it right out of the oven).
Meanwhile (or the next night – roasted squash refrigerates nicely over night). . . . Saute the onion, apple and garlic in the olive oil & butter until tender, but not browned. Add the spices and stir to coat. Cook for about a minute to bloom the spices. Then add all the liquid, lemon juice, and roasted squash. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes.
Puree until very smooth. Stir in the maple syrup (start slow and add more as desired), adjust seasoning to taste with more spices, salt, pepper, lemon juice. Thin to desired consistency.
Serve as is, or get fancy and top with some finely diced apple & a dusting of garam masala.
* 5 lb of butternut squash will net you something on the order of over a gallon of soup. It freezes well, and I made a ridiculous amount so that I would have lots leftover for lunches and future dinners. I’m guessing that 5lb of squash serves about 12 for dinner, and 16 for lunch.
Mix the goat cheese, honey and lemon zest together. Adjust seasoning to taste (may need salt/pepper/lemon juice).
Spread the goat cheese mixture on four slices of bread. Spread the fig jam on the remaining 4 slices of bread and top with sliced basil. Close sandwiches.
Brush both sides of sandwiches with melted butter and grill/toast in a pan until golden brown and melty.
Mix the ricotta and lemon zest together. Adjust seasoning to taste (may need salt/pepper/lemon juice/honey).
Mix the marmalade and rosemary together.
Spread the ricotta mixture on four slices of bread. Spread the marmalade mixture on the remaining 4 slices of bread and top with sliced basil. Close sandwiches.
Preheat oven to 450. Place two baking sheets in the oven to heat for 10 minutes.
Assemble your sandwiches and have them ready to go.
Remove one baking sheet from the oven and arrange sandwiches on it. Top with the other baking sheet and return the baking sheet sandwich to the oven for 5-6 minutes, until sandwiches are golden brown and melty.
If you have only one baking sheet, or are doing a double batch of sandwiches, arrange sandwiches in a single layer and bake for 3-4 minutes, carefully flip and bake for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
I will confess to being a little dubious that this would work, but I shouldn’t have doubted ATK. This works spectacularly well and gave me perfectly crispy toasty bread with gooey melted cheese.
Having waxed rhapsodic about the asparagus I don’t seem to have managed to take a single picture of either it, or of the salad.
I anticipated local rhubarb in the store slightly before I should have. So, the rhubarb I pickled for salad this week is not actually local, but I was too wedded to the idea of the grilled asparagus and pickled rhubarb salad to give up on it despite this minor setback. So, while technically somewhere in Massachusetts there is local rhubarb, the rhubarb in tonight’s dinner actually came from the Netherlands. We’ll chalk it up to patriotism vs. locavore food cred and leave it at that.
Trim the asparagus and toss lightly with olive oil, salt and pepper. Either grill on a grill, grill pan, or pan sear until tender (about 5-10 minutes depending on method + size of your asparagus).
Arrange the grilled asparagus over the arugula, orange sections, and pickled rhubarb. Drizzle with dressing of choice (I usually make one from the leftover orange juice and some white wine vinegar + olive oil).
Heat the cider, sugar, salt and spices until the sugar just dissolves. Pour over the rhubarb. Allow to cool on the counter for 3 hours. Refrigerate until very cold. Will keep about 3 weeks (assuming it lasts that long in your fridge).

What is the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)? What are the consequences for an employer who does not abide by the regulations set forth in this Act?
Answer: That entitles employees to take unpaid leave for a specified family medical reason. Now, that’s limited to 12 weeks a year, and they can take it, under the specifications, they can take leave for the birth of a new baby or if they newly adopted a child. They also can take leave for care of a family member with serious health conditions or their own serious health conditions. And also, if a family member is in active duty and there’s exigent circumstances for the employee, they also can take leave as well. And again, violations of that would basically be either fines or potential criminal penalties.

What principles should I consider when determining what workloads are best suited for cloud?
What is the best way to measure the criteria with minimal effort and impact on business?
Assessing workloads and aligning them to an appropriate cloud type (private, hybrid or public) and a relevant delivery model (infrastructure as a service, platform as a service or software as a service) is a pivotal step in cloud migration strategy that can ultimately determine the success of that strategy. If a comprehensive workload assessment is not completed, then migrating a workload to cloud could prove to be a hassle that may end in migration project failure and unhappy customers.
Many enterprise-level IT architectures consist of a number of different technologies, layers that have been added on over time to increase functionality of systems. This results in large and complex systems that are difficult to manage and assess for cloud suitability. Therefore, an attentive and effective workload assessment outline is required so that you can simplify and streamline the analysis. Without the right methodology, it can be difficult to know where to start. The larger the workload, the more complex and important it becomes to order the tasks.

David Jauss doesn’t shy away from difficult topics nor does he come up short in providing useful insights into important aspects of fiction writing. In Chapter 3 of “On Writing Fiction” (Writer’s Digest Books, 2011), “What We Talk About When We Talk About Flow,” Jauss tackles the complex meanings people imply when they talk about the flow of a book or story.
Why is this discussion important for writers? Certainly any writer who wants to earn praise for the way his/her story “flows,” can benefit from reading this chapter more than one time. It may take two readings to begin to internalize some of the concepts Jauss explicates, including how when we talk about flow we are saying something not only about variation in sentence structure and length, about syntax, but also about what he calls “rhythmic mimesis” – the rhythm of individual sentences, paragraphs and chapters, as well as the rhythm of the entire work.
As in the other chapters of this stimulating volume, Jauss provides examples that help the reader see what he’s writing about. He also quotes from a variety of sources, bringing knowledge from related fields to bear on the topic.
The word I keep using when referring to this book is “liberating.” Jauss’ discussion of flow is perhaps less about liberating the writer from outmoded strictures than the chapters on point of view and not being confined to “write what you know,” but it nevertheless frees the writer to listen to that inner voice that drives one to write. The discussion encourages writers to hear the music of the story that often comes before the actual words are put down on paper. Mentioned in passing is a tip that I find extremely useful, which is reading my writing out loud.
I recently had the occasion to read from my novel The Expendable Man plus a few pages from a work in progress. Reading the passages out loud prior to the event helped me see where I was excessively wordy and where the FLOW of a sentence was encumbered. Even after considerable pre-event edits when reading at the event, I found myself skipping over certain phrases which were obviously unnecessary to the telling of the story or which again interfered with the FLOW of the story.
Fiction writers will find Jauss’ book not only liberating, but full of insights and tips that will well justify the time put in to read and re-read it.

One could really judge the music by its cover. While showing off some flesh screams attention to the artist but not the music itself, subjects in eccentric poses or almost empty covers with simplicity usually guarantees quality. Irregardless, one of the most exciting treats artists could share with their fans is via their album cover art. This is the part where even non-music lovers pay attention when the visual strikes them in ways they could only interpret.
If this image was not enlarged, many people would have guessed the artist was lying in the letter F.
One of the best album covers pop music has ever seen, the clockwork image has several hidden clues that are all personal to the pop diva.
The British band has been known to incorporate unusual subjects in its album covers. X&Y is no exception. Its third album used Baudot Code in a tasteful combination of colors and blocks.
Just look at the image and all your questions will be answered.
A deflated balloon and a faint album name sure make for a minimalist take that would earn a nod from the visual designers. I personally loved this one because West's bear mascot was nowhere, which is a welcome change.

F1 appears headed to Dubai for pre-season testing early next year.
But the local The National newspaper said that, following team boss meetings in Hungary at the weekend, Abu Dhabi is also still in the running to host the guaranteed dry-weather running of the new V6-powered cars.
And according to Pirelli's Paul Hembery, Bahrain should be yet another contender.
"We have agreed that some of the (winter) tests will be in the Middle East, in hot weather, which from our point of view is progress even though we are talking about before the start of the season," he said.
Hembery is quoted by Russia's f1news.ru as admitting that Dubai is the frontrunner.
"We (Pirelli) have been there before, for many kinds of different races, but the problem is that the circuit is used rarely and there's a lot of sand on the asphalt.
"I would regard Bahrain as the best option for testing," he added.
The National said next season's three-test winter period will begin in late January at Jerez, Spain.

If a properly functioning air conditioning unit is anything, it’s quiet.
When your air conditioner is making sounds beyond the whoosh of blowing air, it’s a tell-tale sign that you have an AC repair on your hands.
When you’re working to diagnose the issue with your local HVAC company, it can help to understand what sounds are out of the ordinary and what they might tell you about your AC unit.
Keep an ear out for these common sounds that indicate you might have an issue. For prompt AC installation or repair in El Monte, be sure to contact Cool City Air Conditioning today.
A high-pitched squealing noise is one of the most serious sounds your air conditioning unit can make. Typically, a build up of high internal pressure catalyzes the squealing sound. This high pressure is usually formed by the compressor, and a functioning AC unit will have a sensor that signals the pressure has become too high and shut down the AC.
If you have an issue with your sensor, however, the AC unit will keep running even when the pressure levels are dangerously high. As such, you should turn off your AC unit immediately if you hear this sound. It’s best to call professionals at a local HVAC company for this type of problem.
Think of the sound that you can make when you blow air through touching teeth. If your AC unit is making a hissing sound like this, it generally signals a leakage issue.
Specifically, refrigerant from your air conditioning might be leaking in a coil. If your AC unit is also having trouble producing cold air, then it’s almost certainly an issue with the refrigerant.
Because refrigerant is expensive and harmful to humans, it’s best to call an AC installation or repair company to get the job done effectively — and safely.
If your AC is rattling, there’s probably a loose component in the system. It could be a coil, a fan plate, a screw, or a plate. To the untrained eye, spotting these loose components can be challenging. An AC technician, on the other hand, should be able to diagnose and fix this issue quickly.
You don’t want to keep running your AC when a part is loose, as this can compromise the integrity of the entire unit.
This sound is harder to identify than the others, but a bubbling or gurgling sound indicates that a drain might be clogged. In a more serious situation, the drainline might also be cracked.
You can turn the system off and check the drain line on your own, but it’s generally better to hire an AC installation and repair company. It can be a simple fix for someone who knows what they are doing.
If your AC is making sounds that just don’t sound right, it’s telling you that something is wrong.
If you’re in the El Monte area, Cool City Air Conditioning is your go-to AC installation and HVAC repair company. Contact us today, and we’ll schedule a technician for service.

Cooperation with NATO is the most troubling element. Over the years, Georgian authorities have declared their intention to become a member of the alliance. The United States, as NATO’s leading power, has also stated that it wishes to see Georgia as a full member. However, a number of reasons obstruct the process. First, NATO has no right to accept a state with unresolved conflicts. Thus, Tbilisi has to abandon South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which threatens to destabilize the political situation in the country. Such a scenario is unlikely to take place in the nearest future, so it minimizes Georgia’s possibility of becoming a NATO member. Second, full integration may lead to a confrontation with Russia, which does not want to see the alliance encroaching on the Caucasian frontier. Many NATO members understand the importance of cooperation with Tbilisi, but they also realize the limits of their capabilities in the case of a new Russian-Georgian war.
Meanwhile, joint military exercises have been held more frequently. Earlier this month, NATO-Georgia Exercise 2016 took place near Tbilisi. Moscow called it a threat to peace in the region. Moreover, as of 2016, Georgia ranks fourth overall and first among non–NATO member countries in terms of the number of troops participating in NATO’s “Resolute Support” mission in Afghanistan. We should not forget that Georgia is an ideological mirror of American policy for other countries in the region. Many experts point out that the United States’ support led Georgian authorities to launch an effective fight against corruption and hold a series of major reforms that changed people’s lives for the better. Thus, U.S. policy toward Georgia is unlikely to be radically revised during Donald Trump’s presidency. Official Tbilisi will continue to deepen relations with NATO, maneuvering between Washington, Brussels and Moscow. In turn, pro-Georgian Republicans in Congress are unlikely to allow the White House to cut allocations for Tbilisi and cancel a number of strategic agreements that determine the general nature of U.S.-Georgian relations.
Unlike Georgia, relations with Azerbaijan have sharply deteriorated over the past eight years. During the presidency of George W. Bush, Azerbaijan was regarded not only as an energy donor, but also as a logistic bridgehead for operations in Afghanistan and carrying out intelligence activities against Iran. Practical necessities forced the Bush administration to overlook systematic violations of human rights in Azerbaijan, as well as mass arrests of journalists and members of the opposition. The neoliberal Obama team saw dialogue with the government of President Ilham Aliyev differently. In the very first year, America cut its financial assistance program to Azerbaijan significantly, compared to an increase in allocation for other countries in the region. The White House, Congress and leading human-rights organizations started criticizing President Aliyev for the arrests of journalists and political activists who opposed the regime’s policies.
Numerous allegations resulted in the “Azerbaijan Democracy Act,” a bill introduced in 2015. The draft law would impose a ban on entry by the entire leadership of the country, including all members of their families, starting with Aliyev and including the prime Minister, members of the presidential administration, security officers and judges. Now the bill is under consideration by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and, if approved, it will be put forward for a vote. After the Maidan protests in Ukraine, President Aliyev, afraid of political instability, decided to become closer with Russia. Overall, while there is a deep crisis in U.S.-Azerbaijani relations, those between Baku and Moscow are developing in all directions. However, Azerbaijan hopes that with the new U.S. president, relations with the United States will return to their past heights. Many Azerbaijani experts believe that the new administration will build a dialogue with Azerbaijan on the basis of pragmatic interests (e.g., oil and energy logistics), without interfering in internal political processes. If we project Trump’s foreign-policy rhetoric on Azerbaijan, it can be assumed that over the next four years the United States will be less interested in human-rights issues in that country.
Compared with Georgia and Azerbaijan, Armenia does not represent any geopolitical, economic and energy interests for the United States. The basis for bilateral relations between Washington and Yerevan is a particular perception of Armenia and the Armenian people. The special relationship between the American and Armenian peoples are rooted in deep history. President Woodrow Wilson was the arbiter of the Armenian-Turkish territorial dispute, and Congress removed immigration barriers for Armenians escaping the genocide of 1915–23. In addition, the Armenian Apostolic Christian tradition has much in common with American Protestantism. Some in America cite the Armenians as the first Christian nation, which for centuries has defending its faith in clashes with the surrounding Islamic world. Over time, representatives of the Armenian community have deeply integrated into the sociopolitical life of the United States, forming influential lobbying institutions at the local and federal levels.
Armenian lobbying has played a significant role in shaping U.S. foreign policy towards Armenia. Thus, Yerevan has become the second recipient of U.S. assistance per capita, after Israel. In the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Washington’s political sympathies are also on the Armenian side. This attitude resulted in the smooth adoption of Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act, which prohibits military assistance to Azerbaijan due to the illegal blockade of the Armenian border. Moreover, since 1994, Congress has allocated financial assistance to the legally unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Various priorities and circumstances prevented the United States and Armenia from deepening their bilateral dialogue. Washington was interested in strengthening ties with Turkey—a NATO ally—and in Caspian oil. In turn, Yerevan was forced to move closer to Russia and Iran because of the Turkish and Azerbaijani blockades. Despite this, not only do the United States and Armenia retain the positive dynamic in their relationship, but also find new areas for cooperation.
Armenia’s membership in the Eurasian Economic Union did not prevent the United States and Armenia from signing trade and investment agreements and creating the U.S.-Armenian Council for Trade and Investment. Besides that, Armenia’s membership in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) does not prevent Yerevan from developing cooperation with NATO. Armenian soldiers and officers participate in peacekeeping operations in Iraq, Kosovo and Afghanistan. Armenian soldiers, together with NATO members and partners, regularly take part in winter and summer mountain training courses in the framework of NATO’s Partnership for Peace program. Cooperation with NATO allows Armenia not only to improve its armed forces, but also to devalue efforts by Turkey and Azerbaijan to use the alliance’s instruments against Armenia.
Trump’s presidency may affect U.S.-Armenian relations in various ways. Today, the Armenian side is strongly dependent on the U.S. position in dealing with the Karabakh issue. Over the last twenty years, the United States has maintained balance between pro-Armenian and pro-Azerbaijani sides in the framework of the Minsk Group. The United States became more active when Russia promoted pro-Armenian initiatives, and vice versa. At the same time, France, as the third permanent member of the Minsk Group, supported the United States’ pro-Armenian position and was neutral in case of Russia’s pro-Armenian views. Now, Moscow has adopted a more pro-Azerbaijani position, and if it manages to persuade Washington to support its plan for resolving the conflict, Yerevan will be in a tough situation. Such a scenario is quite possible, if the new administration makes a bet on Azerbaijan, as it was during the presidency of George W. Bush. On this basis, we should expect a serious fight between pro-Armenian and pro-Azerbaijani oil lobbyists in Washington. The latter scenario is also unfavorable for Armenia, as it implies passivity and indifference of the United States to Armenia and Karabakh. If Trump’s administration does not pay proper attention to this issue, Russia will finally monopolize the negotiation process.

Are you wondering why the Swedes are seldom found cruising the Mediterranean during the summer months? This is most likely because they already have a fantastic sailing area in Sweden.
The sailing season in Sweden is relatively short however the days are very long. Additionally, from July to September darkness comes for just 3 hours a night in high summer. This shortage of night makes cruising extended distances simple as there is almost constant daylight.
Sweden has a gorgeous coastline, sprinkled with unspoilt islands. Swedish-style revolves around a way of life which is very much connected with nature. During the summer months you will find clean beaches, sheltered waters and your very own deserted islands. Visit the many coastal fishing villages and enjoy the fabulous seafood restaurants, and bars.
Sail the waters of Lapland and go onshore to experience the weird and wonderful geology of the High Coast. Perhaps Stockholm, with its many islands, will satisfy your curiosity about how well Swedish people live? Most areas have great restaurants and bars. Furthermore, there is plenty of choice of adventure or nature loving activities. With over 24,000 islands in the Stockholm archipelago, it is no exaggeration to say that you will be spoiled for choice.
If you want to step back in time and visit medieval Sweden, then set a course for the Baltic island of Gotland. This perfectly preserved island boasts a medieval town called Visby. Additionally, the nearby island of Öland is famous for its ancient Viking settlements and the oportunity to sample some Swedish island life.
Although excellent food and a high standard of living can be found almost anywhere in Sweden, you might want to make your way to the West Coast. Famous for its fabulous shellfish including lobster, oysters and sizeable prawns. In Gothenburg,there are several Michelin-starred restaurants. The west of Sweden is sensational. You will find a warm welcome, where ever you sail.
The coast is the western archipelago has more than 1,000 islands. Many are decorated in pink granite. These beautiful islands and skerries offer a very enjoyable ground for your yachting holiday.

Dr. Seuss Baby Shower Cookies!
I made these cookies for a Dr. Seuss themed baby shower, which my friend Britt planned for her sister-in-law. Britt had an adorable Pinterest board going with all sorts of Dr. Seuss themed ideas for food, decor, etc. that she shared with me. She used various books for the party inspiration, not just one. I thought that was really clever and allowed so many more possibilities for creativity! She asked me to do cookies for the dessert table and said I could use pretty much any book or character, except maybe One Fish, Two Fish as she had some cupcakes planned for that. Thing One and Thing Two and Cat in the Hat were good candidates for my cookie inspiration. The only "thing" I was trying to avoid with Thing 1 and Thing 2 cookies was implying twins, as the shower was just for one baby boy, to be named Harley! (Side note: It's kind of nice knowing the baby's name in planning things like this for a shower, I must say.) So, that brings me to what I ultimately came up with. Thing 1 Onesie Cookies and Thing 2 Baby Bottle Cookies!
I thought if I did baby items, like onesies and bottles, as the respective things, it was less twin-suggestive and more like "baby essentials". Then for the Cat in the Hat inspiration, I went with the very recognizable hat design (red and white stripes) for letter cookies, to spell out the baby's name. To give all of these cookies a really authentic Dr. Seuss touch, I tried to incorporate the shading style he uses (black lines). Emphasis on tried. I'm no Dr. Suess, but it was fun (and a little bit challenging) trying to guess how he would shade a baby bottle and onesie. I got major clues for the bottle by looking at the fish bowl from Cat in the Hat, actually! It was a delicate balance trying to not over do the shading and keep the cookies looking clean & consistent. I think it all came out pretty good though. Here's a whole board of "things" I used for design inspiration.

Tabinda Nabil, a Pakistani resident in Dubai, struggled to cope with the drastic change in her life after she first became a mother.
Tabinda’s child was four months old when she wrote her first blog. It was her loneliness and post-partum blues that made her start a blog. At first, it was all about sharing the journey of parenthood. She is now a stay-at-home mother of a two-year-old.
With time, her blog evolved into a space where she began sharing her experiences on everything related to parenting such as homeschooling, self-care routines, food recipes and clothing for kids or reviews about products related to baby care or women. “With this blog, I am happy that I can help new moms and moms to toddlers, in Pakistan and around the world, cope with their day-to-day life,” she says.
~10 things as a mother of a Terrible Two~ . 1. Tantrums are real- public ones are super real. Rolling on floor esp. You just need to learn how to ignore. Many time you will be judged and eyed upon from around. Try not to give a damn. If you give in all tantrums- these toddlers will run over you. . 2. Which brings me to the next point - PATIENCE- I never knew I had this much of patience in me. Potty as soon as you’re leaving the house, food plate rejections as you prepare with so much love, house like a tornado just as you got done cleaning- lines on walls, garbage picking, hands in sticking poop —- the list is never ending. . 3. GOOGLE is my best friend. In sickness and in health- for ideas and behavior strategies- we’re so blessed to be in this era- I wonder what our moms did. . 4. I have too many QUESTIONS whose ANSWERS no one has.. like should I give baita this? What if he doesn’t sleep now? Is it okay for him to scream this loud? Is it cuz of teething? Aaaaa臘♀️ . 5. I love exploring places through his eyes. I love taking him out and enjoying swings, eating icecreams and candyfloss, watching cartoons too- sometimes! . 6. Bringing kids on YOUR routine is so much important as doing things their way. Pro tip- if you want to be happy- be flexible. They will sleep in a car seat or stroller- meal times will just be fine. Train them to work on your schedule rather than fretting on their meal and sleep and play times. Nooo! . 7. Always EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. What is in your mind would never be how things will do. Always be prepared and stay relaxed. Enjoy the choas and use it as a learning tool ! It will happen. . 8. There are NO PERFECT KIDS! Stop giving everything to kids. They don’t care. It’s mainly what is in your head. They will do everything in their own time- no need to compare them with other kids. Appreciate what you have. . 9. Enjoy the TINY SIMPLE things. Like my favorite ones are bathroom trips alone, long shower, chai in peace, writing a blog, There will be sad depressing moment. That’s absolutely OK! Just tell yourself it shall pass too. . 10. Stand for yourself- it’s imp for your kids to see that! Let your yes be yes - No be no! . ?
Congratulations! It’s a healthy baby boy. The instant I looked into my newborn’s eyes, I knew my efforts to raise a good man had begun from that very moment. As a boy mum and as a mum who is raising the next generation, I’m responsible to raise my little man into a good human being. Boys will not be boys; boys will be held accountable for their behavior. I stay clear of such labels and expression that blames my son’s behavior on his gender. Let them know that everyone is responsible for their actions and deeds. If you’re doing something wrong, there will be consequences and your gender is not an excuse that can get you away with crappy behavior. Build that sense of responsibility in them. Involve them in house chores, don’t always pick up after them. Teach them that cooking, cleaning and general house chores are not just a woman’s responsibility. Everyone should be capable of looking after their own selves and cleaning up after their mess. Do it for your future daughter-in-law so she doesn’t have to look after a man-child. Trust me, she will be thankful. Let him know that he is responsible for his parents, they are not his wife's responsibility. Never say boys don’t cry – let them cry. Let them take control of their emotions. Do your part to help them in managing their feelings. Don’t let your son hide his feelings, bottling up one’s emotions only leads to aggression and explosion. Assure them that they can use their words to let others know if something is bothering them, teach them that crying out or being sensitive does not make them weak. Teach them compassion and empathy, build your communication with them. Teach them to be respectful of other people’s feelings, emotions, and consent. Teach them to never take advantage of someone's vulnerability. Teach them kindness, you’re not just raising a man – you’re raising somebody’s husband and somebody’s father - let's raise our boys well.
Instagram moms and bloggers feel that most of them depict the reality of motherhood, at least in Pakistan. Zara Fahd, a resident of Karachi and the founder of @Zarasinspirations is an Insta mom and a blogger, with more than 5,000 followers. “I believe in keeping it real, focusing more on the positives but not ignoring the negatives either,” she says.
According to Abdullah Qureshi, brand manager at Zellbury and Kapray, this kind of influencer marketing is relatively new in Pakistan but mom influencers have proven to be beneficial for many brands to promote their ideology among relevant consumers.
“One of our brands promotes trendy wear, so we look out for moms who are interested in fashion or styling,” says Abdullah. “Our team then sends out gloriously packaged products to mums to use and then review for us. Our other brand is for the masses, so we look out for mothers who do not shy away to support and vocalise real issues. For our #REALConversations campaign, we contact these mums and give outfits and sit down for a one-to-one with them,” he explains.
It is amazing to read about mom bloggers and insta moms who are doing very well in their own small way. Congratulations to all the mothers. Keep it up.
@Sabiha ... they do publish comments which are praising dawn and its writers. your comment is full of unnecessary praise.

The Caps now lead the Southeast Division for the first time since mid-November. They would also be the third place team in the Eastern Conference if the playoffs started today. Thanks, Dale.
In Tomas Vokoun‘s ninth straight start, the 35-year-old Czech net minder came up huge, stopping 43 shots, 18 of which came in the third period. Maybe Bruce Boudreau switching his goalies every other game was, in fact, a bad idea.
The Caps are now 8-0-1 in last nine games against the Hurricanes.
Brooks Laich‘s second period no-goal in the second was, um, a goal. Laich went strong to the net, and as the puck deflected off Cam Ward’s shoulder, Brooks knocked the puck home from his knees. Ward was maybe swiped. Yet, the on-ice officials deemed the game’s first tally null-and-void because of incidental contact with the goalie. Oh, if only Eric Furlatt and Kyle Rehman were officiating when the Flyers knocked the Caps out of 2008-09 playoffs. Maybe we’d have a Cup by now.
Undaunted after hitting the post for the third time in two games, Alex Semin hit the back of the twine with one of his patented rocketships. It was 11th goal of the season.
Hey, Ovi! You have to score with the puck, not yer body, silly!
The best part of Dmitry Orlov‘s first NHL goal was the look of pure joy on his face after he realized he scored. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot more of that as the season goes on.
Marcus Johansson had another fine effort centering the Capitals’ first line. He finished with an assist in 19:44 of playing time. What’s concerning is his penchant for losing face-offs. Tonight, he was six of 17. Nicklas Backstrom can’t return soon enough.
Via Ben Raby, Mike Green’s first career game, Michael Neuvirth’s first career shutout, and John Carlson, Cody Eakin, and Orlov’s first career goals have come against the Canes.
The Capitals will now turn their attention to the New York Islanders on Tuesday and try to finish their four-game homestand undefeated.
Finally, we have to give a shoutout to Alan May, who was inside the glass for the broadcast team tonight. Besides giving his usual straightforward insight, he also pretty much served everybody. While the Caps had an odd man break and Joe B and Locker were chatting, May interrupted, “Hey! I’m trying to pay attention to the game down here, guys.” After the Great 8 told an on-ice official to “check the replay” after a non-call, May responded, “Ovi was a lot nicer to the referee than if I would have been talking to him.” CSN, keep this man right here.

As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation — either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course. | Martin Luther King Jr.

Blond Lera grew up without parents and without a home, until she became her own in the community of illegal Muslim immigrants from Kyrgyzstan. Now she works as a saleswoman in the clothing market in Moscow, sleeps with her married employer Bakir and secretly meets his younger brother Haman, who wants to marry her. Lera accepts the offer, but during the wedding Bakir attacks Leroux, and after a while he is found dead, and, according to all the evidence, the girl becomes the main suspect. In prison, it turns out that Lera is not the one for whom she claims to be. While the investigator fights over two riddles at once – whether Lera Bakir killed and who she really is – on the border they find the bodies of three blond girls, very similar to Leroux, who have the same tattoo on their necks as the prisoner.

There are so many materials and substances across the nation and even throughout the galaxy that it is almost impossible for the average person to have a high amount of knowledge regarding these materials. This is completely normal, and there is nothing to worry about if you are someone that does not know a lot about these materials. As a matter of fact, if there were a poll conducted amongst people in the public it is highly likely most would fail when answering questions about random substances found throughout science.

Yesterday, Target Marketing hosted a webinar called "Direct Marketing on a Shoestring Budget." I was honored to be a speaker, along with Cyndie Shaffstall, of Spider Trainers.
Considering all the resources available for DM information, I was completely surprised when I learned that over 1,000 people registered. During the live event, we were deluged with questions and there wasn't enough time to answer them all, so I thought I'd dedicate this blog to trying to cover a few DM strategies that might make your marketing life a little easier.
Start with your company's business objectives (Grow revenue? I certainly hope so!), and work backwards.
There are really two key marketing strategies to achieving this objective: Retain existing customers (i.e. retain existing sources of revenue), and add new customers. Duh. But retaining existing customers should include measurable marketing objectives like increasing average order size, increasing number of transactions per customer, and increasing frequency of purchases. Marketing to cold prospects might include metrics like increasing the number of qualified leads into the sales pipeline, or driving more traffic to your web store. Depending on your objective, different marketing strategies and tactics will be utilized.
If you can't profile them by the data you collect, you can append data from a reliable third-party data provider—and many of them offer analytic services so you can get a good handle on your buyer profiles.

FREE Online Youngs Literal Translation. Genesis Chapter 21:1-34.
21:4 and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, `being' a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.
21:12 and God saith unto Abraham, `Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee -- hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.
21:15 and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.
21:16 And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, `Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.
21:21 and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
21:28 and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.
21:31 therefore hath he called that place `Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.
21:34 and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.

Meghan Trainor is ‘So Happy’ for Pal Ariana Grande after engagement to Pete Davidson – They’re the cutest thing of all time!
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight‘, she said: “I’m so happy for them. They are the cutest thing of all time!” Although Meghan hasn’t been able to catch up with the ‘No Tears Left To Cry’ singer since the engagement was revealed to the world, she admitted she noticed a ring on her finger during a recent live performance. Ariana was on stage at the iHeartRadio Wango Tango event earlier this month, and it appears she couldn’t hide the rock during her set.
Meghan added: “I saw that! And my mom texted me like, ‘Yo, does anyone want to talk about this?’ ” Her comments come after Pete, 24, confirmed the recent rumours that he had proposed to the ‘No Tears Left To Cry’ hitmaker, also 24.

If there’s one big offender to your teeth and your mouth, it’s tobacco. No matter the form—cigarettes, chewing tobacco, pipes, cigars—it’s an easy way to really hurt your smile!
The chemicals in tobacco can stain and discolor your teeth and your gums, but the bigger problem is the longer-term, more serious damage they can cause to your teeth, gums, and mouth. After enough exposure, tobacco can cause gum disease, tooth infections, and tooth decay. It can also cause oral and throat cancer. Talk about an expensive habit, aside from the cost of your cigarettes!
If you’re having trouble quitting, come in today to ask us how we can help you. It’s very important if you use tobacco to take care of your teeth and get regular preventative cleanings from your New Albany dentist.
Excessive use of alcohol is another way to damage your smile. One reason is because of the sugar, which contributes to gum disease and cavities. Another is from the acid, which, like soda and sugar, can eat away at your teeth. Not only that, but it and tobacco make your mouth dry, which means your mouth is more susceptible to decay and disease.
Cutting back on your alcohol intake can help decrease your chances of dental problems and also other problems in your body. Make sure you practice good oral hygiene after you drink, too.
Have you ever tried home teeth whitening treatments only to discover that your teeth become sensitive and your gums get irritated? This is common with some home treatments that contain certain chemicals, which destroy your enamel and can lead to tooth decay!
Don’t exchange whiter teeth for damaged teeth! If you want your teeth to be shades whiter, your New Albany Dentist offers safe whitening treatments overseen by Dr. Receveur.
There’s a reason dentists and the American Dental Association recommend bushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing once a day. That’s because it helps remove the plaque and bacteria from your teeth, in between your teeth, and on your tongue. It’s bacteria buildup that contributes to gum disease, decay, and infection, and even ultimately decayed and missing teeth.
Don’t ruin your smile with bad hygiene! Remember to brush and floss regularly and go to your dentist twice a year for cleanings and oral disease prevention.
And as strange as it sounds, be cautious with mouthwashes! You might be thinking that swishing them around your mouth for a few seconds a day is helping keep your breath fresh and your teeth clean, but some can contribute to dry mouth. Ask our staff or your New Albany dentist if you need a fluoride-containing mouthwash that can actually help prevent cavities.
Accidents related to sports can damage your smile temporarily or permanently. Make sure you practice safety, protect your mouth, and wear a mouthguard or helmet to keep your smile in tact! If you do suffer any dental damage from sports, call us right away and request an emergency appointment.
Although your New Albany dentist can repair or improve a lot of things when it comes to your smile, we want you to remember that you have only one set of natural, permanent teeth, and we want to help you take care of them to keep them for life!
Contact us today for an appointment to make sure your teeth are healthy and to ask us if there’s more you can do to make them shine.

Mild flashback elements apart, Kunwara is a catchy dance-y piece that makes smart use of the shehnai wedding motif. The Kolaveri Di-inspired video featuring Salim Merchant on vocals has already been making its rounds on the web. Bipasha has a distinct “Pritam in Dhoom” flavour with Hinglish lyrics that remind of Sheila, at least the English part. And I wonder why the reference to Bipasha, the actress isn’t even called that in the movie as per wiki. Anyways, I have never been a fan of Pritam’s music in Dhoom, this didn’t work much either. The vocals are mention-worthy though, Shraddha Pandit sounds fabulous, with good support from Shadab Faridi. The remix surprisingly sounds slightly better than the original, albeit by a small margin. Jab Main Tumhare Saath Hun is a beauty though, Shilpa Rao’s mild classical-laced sequences suddenly giving way to breezy take-offs by Benny Dayal and Salim Merchant.
Darmiyaan is sweet and soulful – Salim Sulaiman take care of the former and Shafqat Amanat Ali the latter, with backing from Clinton Cerejo. But thanks to SEL and subsequently other composers’ dholak-based escapades this song too is riddled by an overwhelming heard-beforeness. And in the absence of the said template, the Reprise version fares much better, the composers letting Shreya Ghoshal take the lead, and she does that superbly. Mujhko Teri Zaroorat has only Salim credited as the male vocalist, but there seems to be a second voice, apart from Shraddha Pandit’s backing. Good song btw. The remix has Rahat Fateh Ali Khan taking on the lead vocals, but by then the tune starts getting slightly tedious.
Definitely better music than Ladies vs Ricky Bahl this, but Salim Sulaiman’s score for the Jodi Breakers still is below expectations. The reusal habits have just got to go.

Canadian Dawn flavour e-liquid is an important part of our Canadian Lineup of e-liquid. It subtly infuses apricot flavour with a smooth and rich tobacco base. Not too sweet (don’t worry) just a hint of apricot is enough to add a depth to your vaping experience. A bonus is that our Canadian Dawn has a lovely smell.

Learning to play piano can be a life-changing experience. It’s not only fun but also makes you smarter and opens a whole new world of possibilities.
In a Canadian study, students who took piano lessons every week for nine months experienced a three-point increase in their IQ levels.
This activity stimulates the brain, especially the areas associated with memory and learning.
Other studies have found that learning to play piano improves the brain’s plasticity as well as its ability to adapt to environmental stimuli.
In 2015, the average cost for piano lessons was between $30 and $60 per hour.
Before you start playing piano, choose a song you really love. Good music is the best motivation you can have.
It’s easier to get your fingers on the keys when you’re playing your favorite music.
Make a list of songs you enjoy, and then pick two or three. Ideally, you should look for songs that don‘t involve a lot of hand jumps or chords with more than three notes.
If you develop a passion for playing, you’ll progress faster. Focus on the music and try to “feel” every note.
Experiment with different music genres, such as folk, jazz, and classical tunes. This way, you’ll keep things fun and prevent boredom.
Choose songs that reflect your personality and style. Remember that music is all about sharing emotion.
Feel the music and enjoy the experience instead of focusing too much on the technical side.
Even if you’re not familiar with a specific genre, give it a try.
Look for songs that are easy to master, such as Beethoven’s Ode to Joy and Prelude in E min by Chopin. The Blue Danube, Ave Maria, and Fur Elise are a great choice for beginners too.
Although some of these pieces may sound difficult, they’re actually fun to play for all ages.
Unless you learn the theory, you won’t be able to play your favorite songs. It comes as part of the package.
Read about chords, note values, key signatures, and other technical elements. This will boost your confidence and allow you to play a wider range of music. As your skills improve, you’ll find it easier to learn new things.
If you do your homework, you won’t need a teacher. With proper practice, you can learn to play piano by yourself.
Get familiar with the keys, select your scale, and start with easy notes. Remember it takes time to learn new piano techniques. Don’t expect to become an expert overnight.
Another strategy is to break down your favorite songs into smaller sections. This allows your brain to memorize new hand movements easily.
For the start, learn one section per day. Once you master it, move on to the next section and then play both sections together.
Play the piece you are learning before bedtime. During sleep, these skills will be transferred to long-term memory.
The same happens with your school lessons. If you study before going to bed, you’re more likely to remember those things in the morning.
With the advent of technology, learning new piano techniques is easy.
Nowadays, we have access to online videos, digital pianos, and portable digital recorders. You can even use an electronic metronome to hone your timing skills.
Digital pianos are particularly helpful for newbies. The latest models feature crystal-clear displays and advanced stereo speakers. Users can connect them to mobile devices.
For instance, the Casio Privia boasts a multi-dimensional AIR along with split and layer capabilities. If you don’t want to disturb your neighbors, connect a headphone set to the unit.
Remember the old saying “practice makes perfect?” It applies to piano lessons too!
To improve your piano techniques, establish a practice routine. Aim for 30 minutes to one hour a day.
When you’re short on time, practice for 10-15 minutes. This strategy works really well for kids.
Keep track of what and when you’re practicing. Watch your progress and assess your results once every two weeks or so. Write everything down.
Practicing for 15 minutes a day is better than practicing three hours once a week. And let’s face it – it’s easier to squeeze a short piano session into your routine.
On top of that, most people become mentally fatigued after 15-20 minutes. They simply lose their focus and can’t wait to finish.
Even if you only have five minutes, do it. Practice again later in the day or whenever you have some free time. Remember to have fun with it!
The equipment you’re using can make all the difference.
Traditional pianos are expensive and loud. A keyboard or a digital piano may work better for those who practice at home.
Today’s digital pianos are jus as good as “real” pianos. Just be sure to choose one with lots of various sounds.
Consider your budget, skill level, and location. Figure out where you will play the instrument and how much space you need.
When shopping for a digital piano, decide what features you’re looking for. Digital pianos come in all shapes and sizes, so it should be easy to find one that fits your budget.
How Long Does It Take to Improve Your Piano Techniques?
Unlike other instruments, the piano is easier to learn. For best results, it’s recommended to practice at least 30 minutes per day. The more time you put in, the faster you will learn.
If you get your daily dose of practice, you should master the piano within two years or so.
You won’t know how fast you can learn to play until you try it yourself. The key is to find your inner drive and stay on track with your routine. Think of it as an investment in your career and education.
Someday, you may become a concert pianist or play with a band. If not, at least you’ll be able to entertain your family and friends. Think about how great you’d feel to play piano at a party and be the center of attention.
Think about how great you’d feel to play piano at a party and be the center of attention.
Also, consider the many benefits of learning to play the piano! From improved memory to stress relief, this experience can change your life.
Ready to give it a try? Check out these cool pianos and start practicing!

As she continues to promote her new film A Star Is Born, Lady Gaga has stepped out in another AH-MAZING outfit.
Not one to keep things low key, the 33-year-old hit the red carpet in central London wearing a ball gown which can only be described as some kind of Shakespearean throwback.
The incredible dress – which was designed by Alexander McQueen – featured a gold corseted bodice with a cut-out around her chest, huge ruffled sleeves and floor-length skirt.
Gaga finished the outrageous look with an extravagant collar which framed her simple tied-back hair-do and understated make-up.
Pretty incredible, right? Making the most of her moment in the spotlight, the popstar strutted her stuff in the white gown alongside co-star Bradley Cooper, who also directed the movie.
Ahead of it’s release on October 5, the pair’s first film together has already created a huge buzz and has even been tipped for an Oscar.
A Star is Born is the third remake of the original 1937 film and follows the story of two singer-songwriters who fall in love while also struggling with their own personal battles.
And Lady Gaga has been praising 43-year-old Bradley as she gushed she’d made a ‘friend for life’ during filming.
‘Bradley is a friend for life. Incredible human being. Not only did I make a great friend from this film, but I got to witness such a masterful artist’, she told Mail Online.
Despite making his fame as an actor, it looks like Bradley has also been hiding a secret singing talent, as Gaga added: ‘I’m telling you, right after we ate, he asked if we could sing together and he wanted to do a song called Midnight Special and I sat down to play at the piano and he started singing.
OKAY, is it October 5 yet?

Aspen is great, but it’s really not my kind of town. Don’t get me wrong. I’d love to live here. But I’d also love to be able to afford to live here. In 2011, the Wall Street Journal declared Aspen to be the most expensive town in America, with an average home price of $6 million.
Those high prices bring a level of perfection that I could feel, as I walked around the streets of Aspen, trying to find a reasonably-priced place to eat. It was just before sunset, and the low-hanging sun was aligned perfectly with Aspen’s city streets, casting a golden glow on everything. Dust particles, and maybe some airborne seeds from some kind of flower, danced in those beams of light. People were out, enjoying a cool evening in late spring. It was magical.
Aspen’s downtown business district consists of several blocks of streets that are off-limits to vehicles. If you’re coming in from the east (from Independence Pass), just go straight at the first big turn, where CO 82 zigs to the right. This will put you on Cooper Avenue, one of the streets that turns into a pedestrian mall.
… including one that bears my name. Hey, I wonder what kind of antiques I’m selling?
Wow, that’s a nice Louis Vuitton trunk. And it’s only $28,000. Yeah… I don’t think I’d let Delta check that on the flight back home.
Although I was visiting in very late spring (just about a week before the official arrival of summer), Aspen was bracing for nighttime frost. These covered flowers were a reminder that warm weather arrives late, and leaves quickly, in the Rockies.
During my visit, Aspen’s Wagner Park was set-up for the city’s Food and Wine Classic. The annual event features celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations, and wine tastings. Tickets start at $1,150. In other words, I had to find somewhere else to eat.
Yeah, that’s more like it. For thrifty travelers, there’s a McDonald’s at Mill Street and Cooper Avenue. There are probably some other reasonably-priced options in Aspen (hey, there must be a few, right?), but I didn’t feel like searching them out.
I carried my sad little paper bag filled with fried food, and headed back to my motel room. I’m pretty sure this is the most reasonably-priced place to stay in Aspen — it’s the St. Moritz Lodge, at the west end of Hyman Avenue. The drawback? It’s also a hostel, so the common areas have a more casual feel, like you’re in somebody’s kitchen or living room. If you’re comfortable with staying in a hostel, you can get a bunk for about $33 a night (2012 prices). I opted for a room with a private bath, which cost around $80 — and I’m certain that’s the cheapest private room you’ll find anywhere in Aspen.
You’ll see a whole lot of condos in Aspen. If you’re staying for a few days during ski season, this would be a great option — especially when you realize that the ski lifts are right there, on the mountain behind the condos.
Out on Main Street (Colorado Route 82), you’ll drive by the Pitkin County Courthouse. It was completed in 1891, and it features a statue of Lady Justice without a blindfold — one of only a few made that way in the country.
The Pitkin County Courthouse has seen some high-profile defendants. Among them, Ted Bundy, who successfully escaped from a second-story window in the law library (he was recaptured a week later). More recently, in 2009, Charlie Sheen stood trial, accused of assaulting his wife at the time, Brooke Mueller.
Another local architectural landmark is the Elks Building, at Galena Street and Hyman Avenue. It, too, was built in 1891, thanks to all the money from the silver boom, that was pouring into town.
Look hard enough, and you’ll still find some authentic remnants of Aspen’s old-west roots. There are still a few painted-brick ghost signs around town, although and they’ve been preserved and restored.
And here’s a good idea. Just a block south of Main Street, Hopkins Avenue has been turned into a bicycle and pedestrian path. You can still drive on it with your car, but you’re not allowed to drive further than one block.
On my second evening in Aspen, I was determined to find a nice view of the city. I tried driving up several dirt roads into the mountains around town, but with little success. Most of them were rough 4-wheel-drive roads, and my little rental car wasn’t up to the challenge. I had a little success on Smuggler Mountain Road — but I didn’t get very far before the road turned severely rocky and rough. I made it to this viewpoint, which might have been nice in the morning, but not in the afternoon, when you’re staring directly into the sun.
You can also choose to hike up Smuggler Mountain Trail. A lot of people were — and many of them looked at me like I was crazy for trying to drive it.
There are plenty of good hiking trails around Aspen, including some that have trailheads in town — likely just a few blocks from wherever you’re staying. The Ute Trail and Red Butte Trail are both short (less than a mile, one way) but they are both strenuous, since they both lift you out of the valley to a scenic viewpoint. The Ute Trail continues past the viewpoint to the top of Ajax Mountain, for a total elevation gain of 3,000 feet (the viewpoint is only 700 feet above the valley floor). Of course, the best place to hike in Aspen is the Maroon Bells Wilderness, which we’ll talk about on the next two pages.

Whether society chooses to acknowledge it, mass incarceration affects not just victims and the incarcerated, but also families and entire communities. The trauma can span generations. Tony Lewis, Jr. is an author, community leader, workforce development specialist, re-entry expert, and champion for children with incarcerated parents. He is also the son of one of Washington, DC’s most infamous drug Kingpins who suddenly had to navigate the dramatic turn his life took following his father’s incarceration in 1989. Join us as Mr. Lewis speaks about his struggle with the loss of stability, isolation, and the breakdown of his family after his father entered the criminal justice system, and how laws and practices within the system continue to feed the cycle of mass incarceration.
Mr. Lewis has fought relentlessly over the past 16 years to uplift and empower men, women, and children impacted by mass incarceration. He is the author of Slugg: A Boy’s Life in the Age of Mass Incarceration.
This event is part of the “Democracy and the Informed Citizen” Initiative, administered by the Federation of State Humanities Councils. Sponsored by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Pulitzer Prizes, Venable Foundation, and Baltimore Bar Foundation. Presented in partnership with The Baltimore Sun, the Maryland Institute College of Art’s MFA in Curatorial Practice, and Choose Civility Howard County.

For each project a comprehensive progress report, together with a well-motivated application for continuation must be submitted by 31 July of each year.
A final report must be submitted within four months after completion of the project. Each such report is required to be in the format of a scientific paper.
These reports must be accompanied by an Executive Summary to be used in the annual research report of the PRF.
Start the Executive Summary with a brief statement of the objectives of the project, followed by a statement of the methods used (if warranted).
In the main part of the Executive Summary, summarise the results obtained (including negative results, as appropriate). You may, if necessary, refer the reader to the most important tables and/or figures summarising the research results, but use this practice sparingly in the report, as the Executive Summary may be at hand entirely on its own.
Evaluate the importance of the results in terms of their value to other researchers or to the relevant industry, and in the planning of future work. Also indicate to what extent economically favourable results have been produced.
Make recommendations on the use of the results, as appropriate, and how one should proceed to put them to practical use.
If necessary, indicate any setbacks in the research programme (e.g. experimental animal(s) died unexpectedly, hail destroyed plants).
Make a brief projection of any future research activities which may be conducted as a follow up on the completed project.
Finally, indicate how you intend to publicise the results of the project, e.g. by publishing in the form of a research paper, by reading at a technical congress, by writing a semi-popular article for a journal, or by presenting a talk at a farmers' day.

made the table by repurposing an old mirror that I no longer wanted in my bedroom along with some 2 x 4’s.
…so I grabbed a bottle of yellow craft paint in the color Buttercup and rubbed it on top of theDriftwood stain. I wiped the excess off and when I did, it looked just as I hoped it would…the changes warmed up the color. You can see the difference on the horizontal portion of the frame.

You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News.
The damage from flooding in Colorado is immense. And not just to homes and businesses. As the bloated rivers overflowed, they spilled into low-lying farms and ranches. And now, the state's agricultural industry is coping with the rare problem of having too much water. Luke Runyon from member station KUNC reports.
GLENN WERNING: We had all the equipment out except that planter.
LUKE RUNYON, BYLINE: The metal storage shed on farmer Glenn Werning's land outside LaSalle in north central Colorado is still standing, though it took a beating from tree trunks, fuel tanks, and tractor tires washed downstream in the South Platte River. The farming machinery inside was submerged in hip-high water.
WERNING: The workings of the planter were underwater, so who knows how this is going to turn out.
RUNYON: Around the corner, men in white hazmat suits maneuver a long red tube inside a cement silo. They're vacuuming out tons of water-logged corn, which has started to ferment. Think moonshine. Werning's corn is still standing after the floodwaters flowed through, but harvest will be difficult. The fields are strewn with garbage and caked in mud and silt.
WERNING: For the time being, we can't harvest. We just can't. There's nothing we can do down here.
RUNYON: Not being able to harvest is a problem farmers faced last year. But the reason was different. Drought gripped Colorado, withering crops and limiting water supplies. Werning says that lasted well into this year, with crippling heat preceding the floodwaters.
WERNING: So it's been kind of a triple whammy. We hope those are the three - if bad things come in threes, we hope that the drought and the heat was part of it so there isn't one more coming.
NORM DALSTED: Perspective wise, I think a lot of farmers were glad to see the moisture because the reservoirs were filled, et cetera.
RUNYON: That's Colorado State University agriculture professor Norm Dalsted.
DALSTED: But those that were directly impacted by the flood, it's definitely going to be a tough period of time, the next year or two, to get back on their feet.
RUNYON: Getting back on their feet includes everything from purchasing new equipment, replenishing feed supplies for cattle, to repairing structures. Dalsted says the high water inundated wastewater treatment plants, spilling human waste into streams.
DALSTED: That's a major clean up for a lot of our farmers and ranchers, no question about it.
RUNYON: Most farmers haven't seen anything like this flood in recent times. Ask Colorado's climatologist Nolan Doesken about flood history and he can rattle off the dates in a flurry. But those were two or even three generations ago.
NOLAN DOESKEN: The lesson is we don't know what's going to happen next. And there's no guarantee that we're out of the drought woods.
RUNYON: Doesken says this flood was helpful in some ways. It recharged the parched soil, and reservoir owners were able to capture some of the runoff for next year's planting. But he says don't get used to all this moisture.
DOESKEN: The reality is that weather events happen and then we revert back to our regular seasonal cycles with plenty of meteorological ups and downs to go with it.
WERNING: We got started yesterday.
RUNYON: Back at his family's farmhouse, Glenn Werning is still assessing the total damage to his home and farm. He says the price tag will be high with equipment damaged and uncertainty with this year's crop.
WERNING: We're always fighting to find water to be able to irrigate in this semi-desert area. And it's pretty tough to see that much water become a problem as opposed to something helpful.
RUNYON: A problem that could push statewide damage totals well into the billions with bridges washed out, homes destroyed and farmland rendered useless.
For NPR News, I'm Luke Runyon in Greeley, Colorado.
SIEGEL: And that story came to us from Harvest Public Media. That's a reporting collaboration that focuses on agriculture and food production. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Stephanie Nerbak, of Lake Hiawatha, an adjunct professor of dance at County College of Morris (CCM), recently won two choreography fellowships – one from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and another from Jersey NEW Moves! – in support of her preeminent performance work.
Nerbak was awarded an Individual Artist Fellowship Award for $12,000 from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. The awards are open to New Jersey artists in 12 different disciplines, which rotate each year, and are granted based on an anonymous panel review process focused exclusively on artistic quality. The program is carried out in partnership with the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation. This year’s award winners were artists working in the categories of choreography, music composition, poetry and sculpture.
She will use the fellowship to create new work and market herself through a website and other branding.
Jersey NEW Moves!, the second fellowship Nerbak won, is offered through a partnership between NJPAC and Dance New Jersey. The third annual edition of this Garden State showcase will feature New Jersey’s best up-and-coming choreographers. After an open submission process, selected artists will be mentored by four of the modern dance world’s leading choreographers and share their work for the first time with NJPAC audiences. The two-year fellowship allows choreographers to present their work at NJPAC once a year, two years in a row. Winners receive an honorarium of $1,000 each year to offset the cost of creating new work.
A dance professional for more than 20 years, Nerbak joined the CCM faculty in January 2016. She previously worked for dance and theater companies across the country including the Heidi Duckler Dance Theater in California, the West Virginia Dance Company and the Clear Space Theater Company in Delaware. She holds a bachelor’s degree in dance performance from Point Park University in Pittsburgh and a master’s of fine arts degree in dance from Sarah Lawrence College in New York.

The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco permits members and sponsors to request disbursement of Affordable Housing Program (AHP) subsidy before construction starts on a project. The subsidy can be used to support the sponsor's efforts in securing other financing sources to the project, which may reduce development costs and facilitate the development of affordable housing.
The Bank would like to remind sponsors and members, however, that requesting disbursement prior to the start of construction entails the risk of subsidy recapture if a project eventually falls out of compliance because the units are not completed. Therefore, before requesting an early disbursement of funds, a member should carefully review with the sponsor the certainty of a project's sources of funds, including the status of tax credit reservations and investors, as well as construction and permanent financing. The Bank also reminds members that a legally enforceable retention agreement or mechanism should be recorded and secured against the project site before subsidy can be passed on to the sponsor. Sample templates for use by members are available on our website.
We encourage sponsors and members responsible for evaluating a project’s status to carefully weigh the risks outlined above before they submit a request for subsidy disbursement.
Please call me at (415) 616-2753 if you have questions about this notice or about the AHP.

We provide a new measure of automation based on patents and study its employment effects. Classifying all U.S. patents granted between 1976 and 2014 as automation or non-automation patents, we document a strong rise in both the absolute number and the share of automation patents. We link patents to the industries of their use and, through local industry structure, to commuting zones. According to our estimates, advances in national automation technology have a positive influence on employment in local labor markets. Manufacturing employment declines, but this is more than compensated by service sector job growth. Commuting zones with more people working in routine occupations fare worse. Our findings are robust to weighting patents by the number of their citations or focusing exclusively on patents by governments, research institutions or foreign assignees.

GUWAHATI, Feb 25 – In a bid to rid of middlemen, the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) today opened two ‘fair price’ stalls for vegetables at Chandmari and RG Baruah Road Tiniali after procuring the produce in bulk from farmers in Barpeta Road where they had been deprived of their due remuneration due to large-scale presence of middlemen and illegal syndicates in the trade.
Both the stalls run by the KMSS drew overwhelming response from the citizens who made a beeline to the stalls to get vegetables at half the price sold in the city markets.
“The response has been so great that we exhausted our supply meant for the proposed six stalls in the first two stalls itself. We are committed to sell vegetables at half the market price here, and will open eight more stalls in the city,” KMSS publicity secretary Kamal Kumar Medhi said.
About a hundred quintals of vegetables were sold in the two stalls today.
The rates per kg for different vegetables in the two stalls were: cabbage-Rs 5, cauliflower-Rs 6, tomato-Rs 6, brinjal-Rs 10, squash-Rs 8, German turnip (ulkabi)-Rs 6, potato-Rs 12, carrot-Rs 7, and coriander (dhaniya)-Rs 15. All these vegetables are being sold in the city’s market at double this price.
The KMSS said that the farmers had been selling their vegetables in the Barpeta Road wholesale market at very low prices due to the exploitative working of middlemen.
“In Barpeta Road, the farmers were compelled to sell cabbage at Rs 1.20, cauliflower at Rs 2.50, tomato at Rs 3, German turnip at Rs 2, coriander at Rs 9.50, potato at Rs 6, and squash at Rs 7. We have ensured just prices for them at Rs 4, Rs 5, Rs 5.50, Rs 5, Rs 14, Rs 7 and Rs 9 respectively for these vegetables,” the KMSS said.
The consumers also expressed satisfaction with the KMSS initiative, and asserted that such efforts could go a long way in eradicating the sinister racket of middlemen who ran illegal syndicates, exploiting both the grassroots producers and the consumers in the process.
“This is a refreshing and much-needed development. The government authorities – especially the Agriculture Department and the Civil Supplies Department – ought to have done this long back. The KMSS deserves praise for this, and they must be able to sustain it and extend it to all the districts of the State,” Biren Deka, a customer at Chandmari, said.
Another customer, Rajiv Sarma, said that the Government, by its inaction on the thriving illegal syndicates, was in a way endorsing the nefarious practice, and that it was time people joined hands to ensure that there was a direct contact between the producer and the consumer.
“Rackets of middlemen and innumerable goonda taxes imposed on transportation of vegetables is largely responsible for the exorbitant prices of vegetables and other products. The Government has turned a blind eye to these blatant illegalities. It is good that the KMSS is trying to establish a direct link between the consumers and the producers,” he said.
The KMSS alleged that the skyrocketing prices of vegetables stemmed from illegal tax collected at 27 gates of the Assam State Agricultural marketing Board and at police stations, while the products reached the open market after passing through five-six groups of middlemen.
“It is precisely due to such a situation that German turnip (ulkabi) which is sold at Rs 1.20 a kg at source is sold at Rs 12 a kg in the markets of Guwahati. Regrettably, the Government, the Agriculture Minister, politicians, bureaucrats, police and the nexus of middlemen are never interested in stopping all these illegalities, which can ensure adequate remuneration to the producers as well as a just price for the consumers,” the KMSS said.
The KMSS said that the two stalls at Chandmari and RG Baruah Road Tiniali would continue for a week on an experimental basis, following which the stalls would be expanded to other areas of the city provided either the Government or the public gave the KMSS adequate space.
The Assam Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the KMSS initiative of selling vegetables directly to the public.

We discovered in the comments on this post that Google now has a full-time, on-site dentist. “Full-time” as in he lives at the Googleplex, “in a little apartment right next door to my office.” Not surprisingly as a Google employee, Dr. Sam Gustard is tech-savvy. He attended Web 2.0, has his own blog and is apparently a discriminating reader of certain Silicon Valley tech blogs.
UPDATE: This isn’t true. See this post for an update.

Anyone that has a car knows just how aggravating auto repairs can be. You either have to shell out a lot of dough to get your car fixed, or spend your precious time making the repairs yourself. There are downsides to each method, but auto repair will be a better experience after reading this article.
Keep a spare tire and a jack with you all the time. They are included with most new vehicles. Having these items will allow you to change a tire and get back on the road quickly, which is helpful when you are stuck in a dangerous location. Changing that tire yourself can save you the cost of towing.
Assemble repair tools and keep them in your car, so you are prepared at all times. Your car came with equipment needed for changing a tire. A good lug wrench and jack are key. Also, you need Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers, a ratchet set, and various types of wrenches. Avoid purchasing cheap tools. Invest in quality tools that will not break as you perform repairs on your vehicle.
TIP! If the repairs your car needs are major, get several quotes before hiring a mechanic. While you can usually trust an auto repair shop, you don’t want to be paying too much money for the repairs needed.

An American citizen working at the U.S. consulate in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou has reported suffering from "abnormal" sounds and pressure leading to a mild brain injury, the U.S. embassy said on Wednesday.
However, later on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told lawmakers that the "sonic attack" in China was "medically similar" to the incidents in Cuba.
The unnamed American citizen assigned to the consulate in Guangzhou had reported a variety of "physical symptoms" dating from late 2017 to April this year, the U.S. embassy in Beijing said in an email.
"We cannot at this time connect it with what happened in Havana, but we are investigating all possibilities," a U.S. embassy official told Reuters.
The U.S. government on Wednesday issued a health alert to Americans in China, warning them about the incident it described as "subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure".
The U.S. government in October expelled 15 Cuban diplomats from the United States for what it said was Cuba's failure to protect staff at the U.S. embassy in Havana from mysterious health incidents at one point thought to possibly have been acoustic "attacks".

A number of Juventus supporters voiced discordant tone demanding change, namely the change of coach, after Juventus were beaten 0-2 by Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League last 16. They considered it difficult for Juventus to lift the Champions League trophy.
They don’t care about their current coach Massimiliano Allegri, who has contributed to bringing Juventus twice to the league finals between European countries.
Winning 3-0 at Atletico Madrid was very difficult, even though the main target of Juventus was to win this tournament. Juventus are even willing to bring in the universal champion Cristiano Ronaldo to be theirs to reach the target.
Massimiliano Allegri did not want to hear rumors that cornered him, he now only wants to focus first on Napoli in the Italian League. Before Napoli clashed, Allegri had closed his two accounts on Instagram and Twitter.
Victory over Napoli is considered to be spending the race to occupy the throne of Serie A champions. Including the latest, Juventus are firmly on top of the standings with 72 points, far away from second place Napoli (16 points).
Allegri is focused on bringing Juventus to the Scudetto, five consecutive Serie A champions. Allegri, who has been at Juventus for five years, has given two Italian Super Cups, four Italian Cups and four Serie A Italian League Cups. If the current season can be won again, his name will be recorded as the coach who handles teams in the European league by reaching five times. consecutive champion.
Before playing the match at the San Paolo, Juventus and Napoli both bagged victory. Juventus won 1-0 from Bologna, while Napoli won 4-0 from Parma.
Head to head the first meeting in Serie A this season, Juventus won 3-1 in Turin.
In the match at the San Siro on Monday (04/03/2019) pm dawn, for the first time Napoli did not play with Brand Hamsic who moved to China after 11.5 seasons in Naples, the armband was taken over by Lorenzo Insigne.
Juventus also won again with a score of 2-1 from Napoli. They are getting stronger at the top and are getting closer to the scudetto.
Match to the 26 Italian League, Napoli suffered a disaster because the referee awarded goalkeeper Alex Meret a red card in the 25th minute for violating Cristiano Ronaldo outside the penalty box in a one on one situation.
Alex Meret’s position was replaced by David Ospina. In the 27th minute, two minutes after the change of goalkeeper, Napoli goalkeeper Miralem Pjanic was struck by a free kick which failed to be saved by former Arsenal goalkeeper. Juventus lead 1-0.
Juventus added a goal in the 39th minute. Pjanic who took a corner gave a short pass to Frederico Bernardeschi. The cross that was released Bernardeschi was greeted with Henre Emre Can and thrilled goalkeeper David Ospina. Juventus 2-0 ahead.
Playing with ten people, it was not easy, Carlo Ancelotti’s troops had to admit a 0-2 advantage until halftime.
In the second half, it is now Juventus’ turn to get a red card, because Miralem Pjanic committed a foul violation. Juventus also have to play with ten people.
In the final minutes of the second half there was panic. After the referee saw the VAR show, the referee awarded a penalty for Napoli, because Alex Sandro made a handball. Forward as executor, Lorenzo Insigne failed to carry out his duties, his shot hit the goalpost. Juventus also avoided the draw.
Napoli’s goal was created in the 61st minute through Jose Callejon.
With these results, Juventus have never been touched by defeats in the current Serie A season. Now 72 points. Napoli 56 points in second place.
With 12 games remaining, Juventus only need 5.5 more victories to lock the title and get the title of Scudetto.

PLEASE READ THROUGH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU OPEN THIS PACKAGE OR CLICK ON THE –ACCEPT– BUTTON. IF YOU OPEN THIS PACKAGE OR CLICK ON THE –ACCEPT– BUTTON, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THESE CONDITIONS AND AGREEING TO ACCEPT THEM AS BINDING.
This programme is made available for use, insofar as you use its commercial version, which is against payment, on the basis of a hire agreement. For this purpose, the stipulations of Chapter 2 of these licence conditions apply in addition to those of this chapter. Insofar as you use the non-commercial, free-of-charge version of the programme, it is made available for use on the basis of the stipulations contained in Chapter 3 of these licence conditions.
The subject matter of this contract is the right to use the –DirectSmile®– computer programmes including the accompanying documentation and dongles. DirectSmile holds all the rights to the software. The company claims copyright protection, trademark protection and patent protection for the programme. Any infringement of these rights is punishable by law.
The programme is made available for use on the basis of whatever are the current licence conditions, which can at any time be called up and viewed on www.directsmile.de/licence.
By calling up and confirming the contractual conditions for –DirectSmile®– you have taken note of them. In every case, the contractual conditions become valid for all contractual agreements as soon as you request the granting of a licence number and the release of the programme.
Should you not agree to the contractual conditions, you are not entitled to use or to copy the software. In such a case, please contact us so that we can tell you how you can return the unused product and get a refund. In the case of download versions it is sufficient to delete them completely from all data storage devices.
Insofar as the licensee is a company, the inclusion of its general terms of business is not agreed to. The licenser is entitled to make use of sub-contractors in order to fulfil the obligations it has according to this agreement and to assign rights from this agreement to third parties.
You are allowed to reproduce the programme that has been delivered provided that the reproduction in question is necessary for using the programme. Necessary reproductions include the installation of the programme from the original data storage device to the mass storage of the hardware being used or the loading of the programme into the virtual memory (RAM).
In addition, you can make a reproduction for security purposes. Further reproductions, in particular printing out the programme codes, are not permissible and will result in an immediate termination of the right of use.
You may use the software on any hardware that you have available. However, if you change the hardware, you must delete the software from the mass storage of the hardware you have used up till now. To store, keep in reserve or use the software simultaneously on more than one piece of hardware is not permissible. This also applies to running the software in a network which makes possible the simultaneous multiple use of the software.
Decompiling (the translation of the programme code which has been delivered into other code forms) and reverse engineering (other forms of recreating the steps in the creation process of the software) are not permissible. The system requirements which are necessary for the purpose of creating a functioning interface with an independently created software programme can be found in the documentation part of the Help file.
Alterations to the programme, in particular for the purpose of removing errors or extending the scope of its functions, are only permissible if the altered programme is employed solely for one–™s own use. For one–™s own use in this context includes the private use of the user. Copyright notes, serial numbers or other features that serve to identify the programme may on no account be altered or removed.
Any manipulation of the dongle(s), its/their data or environment is not permissible and will result in the loss of the right of use and/or will provide grounds for the extraordinary termination of the contract without notice.
You have only acquired the right to use the software and you are therefore not allowed to sell or to make the software available to third parties. In case of a wrongful passing on of the software your right to use the programme ceases.
To sublet the software for the purpose of personal gain is, as is the case for passing on user data (pictures, print data), not permissible and will result in an immediate loss of your right to use the programme.
The licensee is liable to the licenser for any and every form of infringement of copyright, trademark rights or patent rights from this contract and for any and every contract violation. At the same time the licensee is also liable for employees and such persons as have been employed for the purpose of fulfilling the licensee–™s own obligations and for the violations by third parties who, for whatever reasons, have come into possession of the software unlawfully, unless the licensee can prove that this lay outside the scope of his responsibility.
The licensee is aware of and agrees to the fact that its personal details, which are necessary for this licence agreement to be carried out, will be stored. The licensee gives express consent to the collection, processing and use of its personal details. All such personal details will be treated in the strictest confidence by the licenser. Personal details will only be passed on to third parties for the purpose of carrying out the licence agreement.
At all times is it possible to demand information – free of charge – about the data which has been stored against your name and to correct this data or to have it blocked for advertising purposes. The licensee is entitled to withdraw its consent at any time, to take effect from that time on. In this case, the licenser undertakes to delete the personal data immediately, unless the licence contract has not been completely implemented. This restriction does not apply if the licensee does not consent to the collection, processing and use of the personal details which are necessary for the contract to be implemented and if it becomes clear upon inspection that the interest of the licensee, which merits protection because of his particular personal position, outweighs that of the licenser in collecting, processing and using his personal data. Should it not be possible in such a case for the licenser to carry out the licence agreement or should it be possible but only at unreasonable expense, the licenser has the right to an extraordinary termination in accordance with section 9 of the terms and conditions of this licence.
Applicable law is that of the Federal Republic of Germany - excluding UN sales law. The place of performance and the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of this contractual relationship is – insofar as this is permissible – Berlin, Federal Republic of Germany. This applies to consumers if the licensee does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany, if, after concluding the agreement, he moves his address or his habitual place of residence away from Germany or if his address or habitual place of residence is unknown at the time when legal action is filed.
There have been no subsidiary agreements concerning this contract. Amendments or additions must be in writing. This also applies to a waiver of the requirement for amendments or additions to be in writing.
In the event of changes to the laws on which the terms and conditions of the licence agreement rest, changes occasioned by rulings by a supreme court which directly affect the licence agreement and in the event of terms and conditions being null and void, the licenser is entitled to add to or to replace single licence conditions to be effective for existing agreements. The new terms and conditions shall be both legally and commercially as close as possible to the terms and conditions they have replaced. They may not cause unreasonable legal or commercial disadvantage to the licensee and must take into consideration the interpretation of the agreement to date.
The changed terms and conditions of the licence will be communicated to the licensee in writing or by e-mail. They will be deemed to have been accepted if the licensee does not object in writing within one month of the written notification. This will be specifically pointed out to the licensee in the written notification. If the licensee objects, either party has the right to cancel the agreement by e-mail or in writing whilst observing the standard period of notice.
In order to remove doubts concerning the interpretation of the agreement the licenser can amend the wording of terms and conditions if this amendment is covered by the original text and takes into consideration the objective will as well as the interests of both parties. Furthermore, the licenser is entitled to amend or add to the terms and conditions of this agreement provided that the purpose of the agreement is not thereby substantially impaired or changed.
Should particular terms and conditions of this contract become void, the effectiveness of the remaining agreements between the parties shall remain unaffected.
1. The –Print Credit Model–, to which the stipulations contained in Appendix 1 apply.
2. The –Flat Fee Model–, to which the stipulations contained in Appendix 2 apply.
The appendices are a component part of the contract.
Furthermore, you were informed that a continuous Internet connection is necessary in order for the software to be run.
The duration of the contract is 5 years initially and is extended thereafter by one year at a time provided that one of the parties does not give written notice to terminate 3 months before the end of the term. Whether the notice to terminate was served in time or not will be determined by the point in time at which the other party received this notice.
An ordinary termination by DirectSmile is not possible if 3 months before the end of the term you purchase a minimum Smily quantity of 1,000 for the following contract year at the prices applicable at that time. This rule continues in the following years for each single contract year. Should DirectSmile have already given notice to terminate, you will be able to render such notice null and void by invoking this rule.
The right to an extraordinary termination without notice remains unaffected and exists in all cases in which these agreements provide for the loss of the right to use the programme. In the event of a termination of the contract without notice there is no entitlement to a partial refund of the basic licence. Furthermore, continuing to use the software after a termination without notice does not mean the extension of the contract for an indefinite period.
A component part of every commercial version is a software maintenance contract. The licenser provides software updates at regular intervals. The installation of the updates is extremely important for ensuring that the licensee can use the most up-to-date version of the software and can make use of its most up-to-date functionalities. The licensee hereby consents to the licenser loading the currently available update versions of the programme onto the storage devices of the licensee and to his establishing, for this purpose, an online connection with his server. When the licensee goes online he will automatically be informed (e.g. by a pop-up) that there is an update available and he can decide if he would like to install it or not. The licenser undertakes to ensure that the installation of an update without the consent of the licensee is not possible.
For non-commercial versions the licensee is not entitled to software maintenance. Notwithstanding this, should the licenser provide software updates, this will be done on the basis of the above-mentioned conditions.
The licenser is not liable for defects which were caused by changes to or interference with the programme in ways that were contrary to the terms of the contract or by wilful damage.
The licenser points out that the functionality cannot be used or can only be used to a limited extent if the installation of current updates is not carried out regularly. The licenser is in this case free of any liability insofar as he demonstrates that the defect would not have occurred if the most up-to-date software version available at that time had been installed.
The licenser also points out that, for the software to function properly, the system on which it is to be installed must correspond with the system requirements recommended by the licenser at the time in question.
The licenser does not provide warranty for the fact that the software is suitable for the purposes of the user or that it is compatible with the existing software of the licensee or of any other user. It is the obligation of the licensee to check if the product fulfils his requirements.
In the context of statutory compensation claims the licenser is liable only for intent and gross negligence. Liability for negligently caused loss or damage arising from injury to life, limb or health remains unaffected by the above.
In the context of contractual claims for damages and expense the licenser is only liable for making good loss that was typically foreseeable. For misprints that can be proved to have been caused by a defect in the software, liability is limited to the cost of reprinting 100 copies. Damages for loss that could have been prevented by careful checking are expressly excluded.
In the case of loss of data the licenser is only liable for the time and money which is necessary to restore the data where the licensee is securing his data properly on a daily basis.
Except where in this chapter the stipulations differ from those in Chapter 1, the stipulations of Chapter 1 of these licence conditions apply additionally.
The software is made available free of charge exclusively for non-commercial purposes. Any action is to be understood as commercial which serves, directly or indirectly, to earn income for oneself or for someone else. The passing on or distribution of print products free of charge, in the knowledge that these will be used for commercial purposes, is also understood as a commercial action. The use of this programme as part of another free of charge service (presentations, advertising events etc.) is also understood as a commercial action.
Any failure to comply with the above will result in the immediate loss of the licence that has been granted.
DirectSmile is entitled to withdraw at any time the right to use this programme and to cancel the licence that has been granted. In this context DirectSmile is permitted to employ technical devices in order to switch off the programme. On no account is there any entitlement to the programme being made available for further use.
The user is expressly forbidden from carrying out changes to the programme of any type whatsoever. Furthermore, it is not allowed to pass on the programme as such to others, whether free of charge or against a charge.
For versions which are hired out/made available to the user free of charge the contract runs, unless something different was agreed, for a term of one month and is automatically extended by one month at a time unless one party serves at least 7 days–™ notice to terminate the contract to the end of the given month. Furthermore, an extension via a Smily purchase is not possible for these versions.
The licensee accepts versions of the software which are made available free of charge in the form in which they are available at the time.
The licenser provides no warranty, and in particular no warranty for loss or damage or consequential loss or damage caused to any of the user–™s software or hardware by a deficiency unless such loss or damage is due to an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty on the part of the licenser.
There is no obligation to compensate for loss or damage arising from defects in the programme. In the context of statutory compensation claims the licenser is liable only for intent and gross negligence. Liability for negligently caused loss or damage arising from injury to life, limb or health remains unaffected by the above.
a. In the context of the hire charge depending on use the licensee purchases Print Credits (–Smilys–) up front. The licence fees which arise out of this and which have to be paid separately can be found in part 3 of this appendix.
b. The licensee can set up and increase his –Smily credit balance– as he sees fit. The licenser will make this possible by using a suitable procedure which involves –loading– the relevant –Smily credit balance– of the licensee onto a dongle that the licensee has installed. For Demo Versions that include a Smily-credit balance on the dongle when shipped, the re-order of Smilys is not possible. Users of a Demo Version can, at any time, buy a full version.
c. The –Smily credit balance–, which is only to be found on the dongle, is loaded by the licensee, after the corresponding payment has been made, using a code generated by the licenser and conveyed to the licensee. Any relevant enquiries or data transfers are made, according to the preference of the licenser, either online via the Internet, whereby the data transfer is encoded using SSL or a comparable procedure, or offline by the dispatch of a corresponding disk or similar data storage device at the licenser–™s expense. The licenser has no obligation to provide an online interface. If such an interface is provided, the licenser is obliged to ensure that its own technical infrastructure is available for an average of 99% of the year, excluding time for maintenance. The licenser has no influence on the telecommunications infrastructure of third parties.
d. The licenser expressly points out that the –Smily credit balance–, which is stored on the dongle, is to be treated like cash and so the dongle should be looked after accordingly. If the dongle is lost or damaged or is manipulated by the licensee, then the –Smily credit balance– stored on it is lost irretrievably and will not be reimbursed by the licenser. The codes, which up to that time had been transmitted for the purpose of loading the dongle, will also lose their validity because the licenser is unable to tell if these codes were transferred to the dongle or not.
e. In the case of malfunctions in the procedure chosen by the licensee for loading the –Smily credit balance– which are not the licenser–™s responsibility, and in the case of force majeure, the licenser is entitled to demand that the dongle be sent to the licenser so that it can be –loaded–. The licensee must bear the costs for this. Any delays caused by this, for example delays due to postal delivery times, provide no grounds for a claim for damages on the part of the licensee.
f. Under certain circumstances the licensee is entitled to make payments or pay hire charges in –Smilys– from its existing –Smily credit balance– for possible additional services of the licenser, for example extensions, follow-up products, single sets (finished picture personalizations). Whether this is possible and how many –Smilys– have to be paid for the particular product or for further services provided by the licenser can be found on the price list that is current at the time or on an order confirmation or invoice from the licenser for these additional services/products.
g. Hire charges are not in cash and must be transferred at the expense of the licensee to a bank account which is to be named by the licenser and which is held at a bank that is based in Germany.
h. The basic hire charge and the hire charge depending on use in the form of the –Smily credit balance–, which is paid to the licenser, are not reimbursed – not even proportionately – in the event of this agreement being terminated. The provision contained in the sentence above does not apply if the licenser has given cause for an extraordinary termination of this agreement and the licensee has, therefore, terminated this agreement extraordinarily before the end of the minimum term of the contract.
i. If there are grounds for assuming that credit balance data or the procedure for loading this data have been manipulated, the licenser itself has the right to inspect any of the accounts documentation of the licensee that is necessary for the hire charge to be established or to have this done by representatives who are sworn to professional secrecy. Should an inspection of the accounts reveal that manipulations were carried out, the licensee will bear the costs of this inspection.
j. Multiple print editions must, insofar as these are not a replacement for waste/corrections, be reported in the context of the Smily model. Multiple print editions are all print processes, even if they are not actually carried out immediately, which are used to produce several products on the basis of the same job. The built-in mechanisms for calculating a bill serve merely as an aid for such calculations; on no account do they confirm that the calculation is correct. In case of doubt the licenser is entitled to carry out a check in accordance with 1i.
a. The licensee will set up at its own expense, for the licenser and in accordance with the guidelines of the licenser, an Internet connection on the hardware and software used by the licensee in the context of the subject matter of the contract. This Internet connection will be exclusively for the purpose of calculating and checking consumption, in particular regarding the level of the –Smily credit balance– and for checking that the condition of the object of the licence has remained unchanged. The licensee consents to the transfer of the corresponding data to the licenser. The parties undertake to observe any data protection guidelines and requirements that may have to be observed and must demonstrate to the other party that they are doing so if this is requested by the other party. Without such an Internet connection it is not possible to use the object of the licence.
b. For as long as the licenser has not been placed in a position to establish for itself the status and level of consumption of the –Smily credit balance–, the licensee is obliged to be accountable to the licenser to this extent. He must give the licenser, on request, a solemn affirmation of the information he has provided. The relevant affirmation and information must be transferred to the licenser free of charge no later than 5 days after the end of the calendar month.
c. The licenser reserves the right, in the event of a failure by the licensee to observe his above-mentioned duty to cooperate, to block temporarily the functions of the software using a time-dependent access key or other means technically suited to this purpose and, following a fruitless warning and/or if this should happen again, to terminate this agreement extraordinarily. Accordingly, the licensee tolerates corresponding protection functions of the software and of the dongle(s).
d. 2c of this appendix is also valid in the event that the licensee falls into arrears with its hire charge payments. The licenser–™s right to an extraordinary termination of the contract without notice because of a failure by the licensee to pay on time remains unaffected by the above.
a. For Smilys there is a price system that depends on quantities. Orders of Smilys can only be made in the set quantities listed below at the corresponding prices. Quantities between those listed below are not possible or have to be achieved by the purchase of various set quantities at their corresponding prices.
If different prices for the quantities were agreed, then these prices have priority over the prices above.
Furthermore, so-called –commitment models– with improved conditions can be agreed. These models are agreed on a supply basis on the basis of the annual consumption which the licensee would like to have. For further information please refer to sales@directsmile.com.
A Smily credit balance is a requirement for all services to be acquired under licence using the Print Credit Model. This means that the requisite number of Smilys must be purchased at the prices listed above. Additional set quantities of Smilys can be purchased at any time. Prior to carrying out any task for which Smilys are required you will be informed by the software about the number of Smilys you need for that particular job, unless you have deactivated this function.
The number of Smilys required can differ for the same product depending on the basic licence that was chosen. Should you have doubts or have any problems understanding the billing dialogue on display, you can refer to sales@directsmile.com at any time for clarification.
All prices are net prices and do not include the statutory Value Added Tax.
Insofar as nothing different was agreed in writing, the flat fee model begins at the point in time when delivery is made and the invoice is presented. The duration of the agreement is for at least one year and it is automatically extended by a further year unless the licensee serves written notice to terminate 3 months before the end of the term of the agreement. Whether the notice to terminate was served in time or not will be determined by the point in time at which the licenser received this notice.
The licensee consents to the storage of use-related data for statistical purposes. The licenser assures that this data will be used solely and exclusively within the scope that is necessary for the contract to be carried out and that, in particular, it will not be passed on to third parties.
Insofar as the flat fee model has been terminated effectively, the licensee gives its consent to being treated as a customer in the Print Credit Model after the flat fee contract term has ended. For print-outs, Smilys (print credits) must then be purchased in accordance with the conditions set out in Appendix 1. A return to the flat fee model after notice has been served to terminate is only possible before the end of the flat fee model by means of a unilateral declaration to this effect made by the licensee.

Please update your links, as I will need to do the same with those placed inside posts. Which will be a very tedious task, as there are hundreds of them, if not over a thousand, but I guess it has to be done. Let’s just hope that a search for the old address will return all posts that have links to it, so I’ll just need to take it from there. Changed posts as far back as June and there seem to be 118 of them left to modify. Don’t expect them to be updated right away though, as this is not a priority. But at least I’m putting in the links properly now, so another move won’t require a similar process.
If you notice any problems other than broken links inside posts, please let me know immediately. Thanks in advance.
The plan would be to eventually create a larger site and have the blog be just a part of it, so it’ll at least make some sense to have my own domain and a hosting package. But don’t hold your breath for that, because I highly doubt I’ll even start planning it this year. There could be one other project started in the next few months, but that’s pretty much it.

Any fitness enthusiast will tell you that it’s easier to stay on track when you’ve already been following a successful program. Success breeds success. In contrast, it’s much easier for beginners to fall off the fitness wagon, precisely because they’ve got so little invested. As you improve and see physical changes taking place, you’ll be even more motivated to continue. That’s why those first few months are so important, why you need to keep pressing forward even when your mind would rather be on the couch. Buy into a training program for at least three months before evaluating. Only then can you reasonably assess your progress.
Ever heard the adage that life is a marathon, not a sprint? Well, the same goes with your fitness. Doing a four-hour workout in hopes of shaping up faster can do more harm than good—and who in their right mind wants to spend four hours in the gym, anyway? Take a more balanced approach to fitness. Commit to working out an hour a day. Your results will be better, and you won’t get burned out.
Take a more balanced approach to fitness. Your results will be better, and you won’t get burned out.
If you’ve got a physical condition that limits your activity, schedule an appointment with a sports-medicine doctor or physical therapist. They can help rehabilitate the issues with various exercises. Equally important, they can teach you to modify your training so you can still exercise safely.
Work out in the morning, before the rest of the day gets in your way. Bonus: Nailing a morning workout boosts your confidence for the rest of day.
Sedentary jobs are associated with greater risk for cardiovascular disease, not to mention an extra inch or two around the middle (and those two things are closely related).[1,2] Incorporate some kind of movement every 30 minutes or so at work. At BodyBuilding.com, you’ll see small groups of employees walking the building’s grounds throughout the day. Find other ways to break up long periods of sitting at your desk—even if it’s just delivering a message to a coworker in person rather than by email. Keep moving!
We all feel the midwinter blues, especially those of us at northern latitudes. Personally, for whatever reason, I’m simply not motivated to train when I get off work and it’s already dark outside, so I train in the morning or on my lunch break. While it may lengthen your lunch period, ask your boss if you can work late to make up for it.
I did not say, however, to skip the warm-up. Too many trainees consider stretching to be a pre-workout activity, when it’s best saved for the end. However, 5-10 minutes of cardio helps elevate your heart rate and increases circulation. You can even do some dynamic exercises as part of your warm-up as well. But that’s not the end of your warm-up; don’t forget to do several very light sets of your first exercise. Now you’re ready to tackle the weights with reduced risk of injury. You’ll be stronger, to boot.
When you sweat after an intense workout, your body is cooling itself down. Subjecting yourself to an environment of extreme heat to “remove toxins from the skin” only subjects you to increased risk of hyperthermia, in which your body temperature can rise dangerously. Likewise, skip the post-workout Jacuzzi unless your body has had ample time to cool down.
You consume more total calories when you eat out, and many of those calories will be empty, in the form of sugary beverages and desserts. You won’t be tempted to indulge during a weak moment if you’re eating at home and no junk food or soda is present.
Not everyone loves to cook. However, anyone can turn simple recipes into tasty meals that are clean and loaded with protein by starting with our Recipe Database, which lists more than 1,400 healthy and clean recipes.
Buying a new toy for your kitchen will make eating clean foods more pleasurable. Using the right tools can cut down on the time you spend in the kitchen, and save you money in the long run. Here are eight must-have kitchen gadgets you’ll want around.
Besides being loaded with fiber, most veggies are also low in calories and packed with micronutrients. Here are three every athlete should be eating.

The chef-author will sign books, answer questions, and cook beer-braised pork tacos at Punch Bowl Social on Broadway.
It’s slow-cooker season. A time of year for cozying up with bowls of overnight oats, savory pot roasts, and hearty stews. But Hugh Acheson—celebrity chef, culinary director of Punch Bowl Social, and author of The Chef and the Slow Cooker—wanted more from his slow cooker. “When I sat down to begin brainstorming ideas for the book,” Acheson says, “I realized that there’s a ton of stuff you can do with [a slow cooker]. People need to realize that the ubiquitous pot roast is not where it stops.” That’s certainly not where Acheson stopped, as the book is full of modern recipes (Mexican-style sipping chocolate! Braised shortribs! Strawberry-rhubarb jam!) that you actually can make at home. They’re not all set-it-and-forget-it recipes—you might need to brown a few items first, or finish with a sauce—but they represent a chef-driven, creative approach to slow cooking.
To further his message, Acheson has teamed up with Airstream, Whole Foods Market, All-Clad, and Cholula Hot Sauce and embarked upon a 25-city slow-cooker tour. He’ll be rolling through Denver on Thursday, December 14, parking his camper at the Punch Bowl Social on Broadway from noon until 2 p.m. There, Acheson will answer your burning slow cooker questions (What if my slow cooker has been sitting in a box in my garage since 1986? What if I don’t like pot roast? What do you make in your slow cooker, Chef?), sell and sign copies of his cookbook, and most importantly, make you tacos.
Every night of the tour before bedding down in the Travel Trailer, Acheson sets up several slow cookers’-worth of beer-braised pork shoulder so it can slowly simmer away while he sleeps. In the morning, he and his team make a fresh tomatillo salsa to go with the juicy pork, and then assemble the pork tacos for the hungry masses garnished with fresh cilantro, onion, and lime on white corn tortillas. All proceeds from the taco sales go to a worthy cause: Seed Life Skills.
Acheson founded Seed Life Skills (SLS) in 2014 to bring family consumer sciences and home economics curriculums back into middle schools. “We update our phones 10 times a year,” Acheson says, “but there’s a whole curriculum that we haven’t really done the same type of triage on to figure out what are the contemporary skill sets that everyone should have.” SLS offers free downloadable curriculums and more to middle schools across the U.S., teaching students home finance skills, nutrition, culinary science, and of course, actual cooking. “It teaches kids skills that will hopefully get them to the bottom line of ‘I got this. I can do this,’” Acheson says.
So now you have three great reasons to visit Acheson at Punch Bowl Social on Thursday: Slow cooker wisdom, tacos, and helping our children grow into capable, confident adults who cook. Oh, and add one more thing to the list—if you go, you can enter to win a random drawing for an All-Clad Slow Cooker, signed cookbook, and Cholula.
Punchbowl Social, 65 Broadway, noon to 2 p.m.

TORONTO () -- The Endeavour people now have a uranium vehicle, and as usual they have gone big. The presently halted Signature Resources [TSXv:SRZ] is the putative subject of an RTO and a name change to UrAsia Energy.
The team will include Ian Telfer as non-executive Chairman, and the board of directors will consist of Phillip Shirvington, Frank Giustra, Bob Cross, Douglas Holtby, Dr. Massimo Carello and one other to be determined. The officers will be Phillip Shirvington, president and chief executive officer, and Gordon Keep, chief financial officer and secretary. Half of this list are former Yorkton, Endeavour people who are part of almost all of the large mining deals in Canada and in Europe.
This project is designed to be the blue chip vehicle for institutions to participate in the uranium bull market predicted by an increasing number.
"UrAsia has agreed to enter into a brokered private placement through a syndicate led by Canaccord Capital Europe Ltd. and including BMO Nesbitt Burns and GMP Securities Ltd. of subscription receipts at an estimated price of $2.00 (Canadian) to $2.50 (Canadian) per share to raise gross proceeds of $300-million (U.S.). The agents will also be granted a greenshoe option of up to $125-million (U.S.)."
Knowing this group, and the appetite for uranium, the greenshoe will most likely be filled. $425 million is one hell of a lot of money - more than was raised for Wheaton River in the early days, and it is also a big vote of confidence in Kazakhstan where all of the proposed assets are located.
This will be, by my count the third Endeavour related vehicle operating in Kazakhstan, the two others being European Minerals [TSX:EPM], and Oriel Resources [TSX:ORL].
As we told readers in late June when we reported on the Oriel story, Kazakhstan is a better place to do business than people realize.
The GDP of Kazakhstan is 41 billion dollars, which is more than the combined GDP of the four other 'Stans' and also more than the combined GDP of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
"We (Kazakhstan) have done extremely well as compared to other Stans in the neighborhood," Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev told United Press International in an interview. "We have one third of Central Asia's population and three fourths of its natural resources," he said.
Nazarbayev also told a recent gathering at the fourth Eurasian Media Forum that with radical market reforms he has hiked the per capita GDP of Kazakhstan from over $700 a decade ago to $2,700 by the end of last year.
Nazarbayev has pledged to the country's over 15 million people that by year 2010, the per capita GDP would be $5,800 making it first post Soviet Union nation to reach at par with Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Malaysia.
Indeed, Kazakhstan does appear to be a cut above the madness going on in the Stans right now, and investors forget, or are unaware of the fact that the country has the same bond rating as Mexico.
UrAsia has the option to acquire a 30% indirect interest in the Kharassan uranium project located in south-central Kazakhstan in consideration for $75-million of which $37.5-million is payable in cash and $37.5-million is payable by the issuance of ordinary shares of UrAsia at the financing price. The other 70% interest in the project is held by Kazatomprom and another Kazakhstani entity.
UrAsia has also entered into a memorandum of understanding pursuant to which it can acquire an indirect 70% interest in the Betpak Dala joint venture, which has interests (described below) in two uranium projects in Kazakhstan in consideration for $350-million, payable as to $234-million in cash and the balance by the issuance of ordinary shares of UrAsia at the lower of the financing price.
UrAsia also intends to submit an offer to a public tender by the Kyrgyzstani government for the purchase of a 72% interest in the Kara Balti uranium mill, located in Kyrgyzstan.
It would appear that if this is consummated, UrAsia would have a market capitalization larger than all of the Canadian listed uranium plays save Cameco [TSX:CCO]. I believe that honour currently goes to International Uranium [TSX:IUC].
All of the assets will be concentrated in Kazakhstan, and by all appearances uranium reserves will be huge, the partner will be Kazakhstan's state energy company, and there will likely be uranium production in fairly short order.
The company will be run by a group that can raise money, promote, and has excellent relationships with the institutions. If uranium runs, this thing will be at the top of the list. One wonders if there will be a publicly listed, long life warrant?

There is nothing I love more than mac + cheese. And I'm not fussy about it either. I practically lived off of Annie's mac + cheese in college, so much so that I would mess with the boxed stuff to make it my own. Chiles in adobo? Wild mushroom + rosemary? Yeah, I made those happen.
But I never really attempted my own mac + cheese recipe. Something was always daunting about building the sauce PLUS really looking at all of the butter, cheese + milk that goes into it is freaky.
So when I wanted to make my own, I went a different route. Coconut milk builds the base of this mac + cheese. I love the flavor + how creamy it is, but it's way lighter than a traditional base. There's a teeny bit of cheddar in this mac + cheese, but a majority of the color (plus flavor) comes from smoked paprika + turmeric.
It's indulgent, but definitely not your typical BBQ eats for Memorial Day weekend. Oh and that reminds me! Scroll down to the bottom of this post for a special BBQ surprise!
Start by cooking the mezzi rigatoni to al dente according to your package instructions. Drain the pasta + return the pot to the burner.
Add the coconut milk to the pot + bring it to boil on medium heat. Reduce the heat to low + continue to stir until the milk slightly thickens. Add the flour + stir. The coconut milk should thicken considerably when you do.
Continue stirring while adding the turmeric, smoked paprika + cheddar cheese. Allow the cheese to melt then add the rigatoni to the pot. Stir to make sure the sauce coats the pasta. Add salt + pepper to taste.
Add the pasta + sauce to a shallow baking dish, + set aside.
To make the topping combine the breadcrumbs + melted butter. Evenly top the mac + cheese with the breadcrumb mixture.
Bake the mac + cheese in the oven until the breadcrumbs brown, around 20 minutes. Enjoy right away.
And oh yes! With the upcoming holiday, it's basically the start of barbecue season! In celebration, I've teamed up with fellow bloggers to bring you 50+ recipe ideas for your summer plans. See all the recipes for our Great Blogger BBQ below!

Thanks to the archival work of Natalie (@160B), here are three lectures Foucault gave in Tunisia. The Manet one was later published in a more polished form in La peinture de Manet which was then translated into English as Manet and the Object of Painting (and an illustrated version of the French is available open access here). There was talk, several years ago, of the other two being published in similar form, but this did not happen. The introduction, by Dominique Séglard, was published instead in Foucault Studies. On Foucault in Tunisia more generally, see this piece by Rachida Boubaker-Triki in Rue Descartes (both in French, both open access).
”Folie et civilisation”, Les cahiers de Tunisie, Vol 39 No 149-50, 1989, pp. 43-59 (24/4/1971).
“La peinture de Manet“, Les cahiers de Tunisie, Vol 39 No 149-50, 1989, pp. 61-89 (20/5/1971).
Séglard notes in his piece that these transcriptions, which were unauthorised by Foucault’s estate, are not entirely accurate. They should be used with caution.
More hard-to-find texts on this site here; a few requests for help still here – fewer than before, thanks to readers.
This entry was posted in Michel Foucault. Bookmark the permalink.
Oh, my god, thank you so much for this! I am writing a dissertation on Foucault and structuralism and I have been looking like crazy for this lecture, “Structuralisme et analyse littéraire”, because Clare O’Farrel says in her book that it is one of the best texts to understand Foucaults relation to the structuralist movement. Thank you!!
Glad it’s of use! Let me know if there are other hard-to-find texts – there are several linked on the site already.
That’s her twitter name. she didn’t want me to use her surname.

With this Calvin Klein grand opening, while the store itself was nice and spacious (it is located at where the Stylesense used to be), the event itself was on the ok side. Nothing really special that was happening, at least not enough that I should have rushed there for the supposed 6 - 9 p.m. time that the event was happening. Like I said, no RSVP guestlist needed. It felt like any other normal shopping day really. The only difference was that they had refreshments and hors d'oevres circulating around, with a DJ playing music in the background. They also had a little area where a backdrop was set up for people if they wanted to take a photo, though from what I could see, not too many people were doing it. Sarah Casselman, from Fashion Magazine did a presentation on trends, tips and key looks, which was great since she projects herself really well and always has great tips (I've been to other events where she did talks and/or fashion shows).
As you can see, there are no photos posted of this event. This was a real disappointment to me since the PR person for this event told me photos weren't allowed. I suppose I could have explained to her that I wanted to blog about the event but than I thought about the unfairness of it for people who don't blog who just might have wanted to take photos of the event, whether just to say they were there or for memories of being at the grand opening. Whatever the PR's reasoning was (she didn't tell me, though I'll assume it's for some privacy reason) I can understand why they wouldn't allow photos on a normal day but whenever it's an event, I would wager that people would want to take photos. That's sort of what separates a special day and a regular day. Whenever something's special, some people might actually want to capture the moment and remember it. Yes, the event might have provided a section where a person's photo can be taken, but what if you don't want it posted for everyone to see? Or, maybe you want to take your own photo so that the image quality might actually be good enough for you to develop? By denying the right to photograph, it just made me feel that this was less worthy of the event status they were advertising. I never had issues with other events I attended, if anything most places seem like they actually appreciate you taking an interest in their store and/or event.

It can protect a host of created work including, words, images, music, dance and software.
Copyright is a type of intellectual property which protects the form of expression of ideas, rather than the ideas themselves. Copyright will only protect something that has been recorded in some way. It intends to reward the creative process of an author in original works.
Ownership of copyright can present challenges for businesses. Typically (and subject to an agreement to the contrary) if an employee creates an original work (words, drawings, images, computer code or written processes) during the course of their employment, then the employer owns the copyright.
If the author or creator is a consultant, or someone working under a service contract for the business, there is less clarity on copyright ownership and in this event Else Solicitors will study the agreements between the business and the consultant or third party.
If you commission a third party to create work on your behalf it is important to have a specific agreement detailing ownership of the work done.
Our team can help make sense of the grey areas around copyright. We can provide advice and guidance in respect of whether copyright exists in the works, how protection is afforded under the law, and ultimately advise how best to protect the work you have invested in.
Our team can draft agreements to help businesses get the best return on their creativity and innovation by helping them to licence, sell or assign the copyright in their work.
We can also advise as to what amounts to copying of the works and if there is an infringement of your copyright, we can advise and help you to take the appropriate action. With experience in mediation and negotiation we can take steps to reach a settlement without the time and expense of court action. If necessary, Else Solicitors have an experienced litigation team to advise on how to protect your business assets.
Else Solicitors can also provide advice, guidance and assistance in the areas of trade marks, design rights and patents which can complement copyright protection.
To speak to a solicitor who specialises in copyrights, please contact the corporate and commercial team on 01283 526200, alternatively you can send us a message and we will get in touch at a time that suits you.

The U.S. Census Bureau reported today that the Philadelphia metro area’s median household income, poverty rate and uninsured rate were not statistically different from the year before.
The American Community Survey provides a wide range of important statistics about all communities in the country — including the Philadelphia area. The American Community Survey gives communities the current information they need to plan investments and services. Retailers, homebuilders, police departments, and town and city planners are among the many private- and public-sector decision makers who count on these annual results.
The survey is the only source of local statistics for most of the 40 topics it covers, such as educational attainment, housing, employment, commuting, language spoken at home, nativity, ancestry and selected monthly homeowner costs.
In addition to these statistics, the Census Bureau has released a set of analytical briefs with American Community Survey statistics on income, poverty and health insurance coverage for states and metro areas.
More information about the Philadelphia area and the nation’s social, economic and housing characteristics can be found on the Census Bureau’s American FactFinder website. The 2012 American Community Survey statistics are available for the nation, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, every congressional district, every metro area, and all counties and places with populations of 65,000 or more. (Note that statistics for metro areas based on the Office of Management and Budget’s statistical area delineations issued in February 2013 will be available with the release of the 2013 American Community Survey results next year.) Statistics for areas with smaller populations will be available later this year.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, local-to-national and year-to-year comparisons are statistically different. The median household income and gross rent figures are in 2012 inflation-adjusted dollars.

Science projects aren't always a solitary effort; sometimes a lot of different people contribute to the success of a science project and their hard work deserves to be noted. Acknowledgments on science projects are the perfect way to thank everyone who helped you in compiling your data, performing your experiment, researching information, and formatting your science project. These acknowledgments can be included somewhere in print on a report and in a formal presentation with your materials.
Compile a list of everyone who helped with the science project. This could be from anyone who helped you set up your apparatus, to someone who helped you write the abstract, or even just someone who helped you glue your report to a tri-fold board.
Detail how each person contributed to the science project. There is no need to be exceedingly wordy, rather, just a brief description of how each person offered their time and efforts. For example, "Thanks to Jane Q. Public for taking photographs of my experiment over the course of two months."
Include a sentence or two explaining how you appreciate their help under the title "Acknowledgments." This could read something like, "The project coordinator would like to thank everyone who helped in the completion of this science project. Without you this effort would not have been possible."
Place this acknowledgment information before the bibliography in your report print out. You can also include this information on a tri-fold board or somewhere with your science project presentation.

The city faces the Bohai Sea at one side, and serves as an important route for Beijing to the sea. The city attracts thousands of tourists from all across the world as it has its own rich culture and its historical landmarks are great attractions for millions of people. Among the famous landmarks, Dule Temple is one, which is made of a structure that dates back to more than a thousand years ago. This city is considered as a religious hub for many Chinese as it has many old temples. Confucian Temple is another old landmark of the city. Additionally, the Great Wall of China also passes by the city at Huangya Pass.
People who are very religious and want to get serenity from the worldly affairs are advised to travel to the city for their mental satisfaction.

How did I get to helping those with mold illness? I wanted to help. It’s important ; plain and simple for me, I got deathly ill and lost most of my health due to mold illness. There is that part of me that wants to help others avoid what can be avoided. Through my research, many do not realize that mold can wreak havoc on health, home and possessions until it is too late. My website is dedicated to those who have the daily battle with chronic illnesses associated with mold exposure whether they know it or not.
Or it is the sneaky” I thought I had allergies and blew off my health slipping away” like I did? I always assumed that I was allergic to dust and something “else” and it was the unknown that was making my nose run like someone forgot to turn off the faucet. Eventually, my head was under an all-out assault. I never went to a doctor because I had kids to take care of and was just used to pain. It never occurred to me that I had mold illness.
Now, doctors look at my chart and wait for bombs to go off, stroke, heart attack, pneumonia or some crazy disease I can’t spell to creep up. Tests? They test the tests. Weird thing is, I look healthy and feel really horrible. That can happen to you and maybe I can prevent that. I won’t know it. That is OK. Mold illness anyone?
My quest is to find help for those that suffer from chronic pain, chronic illness and mold illness. Getting up every morning, having a pounding headache and intense pain in arms and legs, does not welcome the day. Living in the most mold free and cleanest air possible will certainly help.
I have found a very promising functional food that I have added to boost my health. It can help in so many ways. It helps to promote: focus, a sense of overall wellness, improves stamina and energy, helps you get a better night of sleep, and improves emotional balance and so much more. Laminine is a winning supplemental functional food. It is not a medication and has no side effects.
So far, I have just started my quest with Laminine. I believe in the supplement will help me cope with mold illness. I don’t expect to improve a condition like Type 1 diabetes as this is an irreversible condition. What I am looking for is better quality of life. Laminine can provide : more energy, better focus, less pain, better night’s sleep, increased ability to focus which will enable me to be more productive. (Laminine Pamphlet) Excited about the prospects of achieving these results.
“Laminine helps regenerate aging cells and nourish unhealthy cells, supporting restoration to their original state. ( Laminine Pamphlet) Laminine unleashes this powerful repair mechanism inside the cells, by giving the body everything it needs in synergistic balance to heal itself at the cellular level. Regular use of Laminine can bring physical, mental and emotional health and well-being to a whole new level.”(What is Laminine?)Sounds good to me.
to get my daughter started on this.
Agree. That would sure help anyone in your family. Sure happy to find a nutritious functional food that can so much to enhance health.
Excellent advice and we’re very fortunate that someone with your personal experience with this silent killer is willing to step up and share the potential for healing that exists with the Laminine protocol. So many of the people we’ve been able to help just don’t have any interest in business, so they might tell two or three people, (or four, if they want their own products free), but by bringing this info to the public forum, you are doing untold good, Judy. Thank you!
Part of the foundation of this site is to find sources of healing for mold illness and the many conditions associated with mold illness such as allergies, asthma, chronic pain, headaches and so much more. Thank you for you fervent support.
Mold illness is not fun and very dangerous to your health. And if you are already suffering from poor health or a heart condition it can be deadly. Mold Remediation is a must and gaining your health back is priority. I highly recommend the suggestions here on this site. Laminine has helped me to get my health back.
Great to hear that Laminine helped you get your health back. That is certainly the goal for those with mold illness, allergies, asthma, mold allergies and related conditions.

Perforated metal sheets – do you need the “hole” sheet?
Designers, architects, fabricators rejoice! There is no need to pay for perforated sheet metal that you don’t need.
Traditionally, the major suppliers of perforated metal sheet have required a minimum purchase of 1000mm x 2000mm but more often a 1200x2400 sheet – even if the requirement is much less.
Even more common is that a design requires a perforated pattern that may be 500mm wide and 1100mm high with a 50mm return folded and welded, the perforations are extended through the folds and welds – reducing the structural integrity of the product, exposing a serrated edge that can be dangerous and also reduces the aesthetic value of the item.
To try and get around this fabricators have resorted to making an external and additional frame and slotting the perforated mesh into it. This is a more expensive, time consuming and potentially ugly “fix”. – We know because we used to make screens this way too.
To overcome this problem we invested in a turret punch which allows us to make perforated panels the exact size that they need to be, with the right sized border and notched corners ready for folding and welding.
The end result is a great screen for the client that is made for their needs - not what suits the supplier.
To discuss your next project whether it be a building facade, privacy screens or decorative feature work, please contact us to see how we can work with you to bring your designs to life.You can reach us on 07 5564 8200 or click here to complete an enquiry form.
Rose - The sheet was designed to preserve the structural integrity across all folds and welds.
Rose - Aluminium panel punched and then folded and welded.
Suitable for privacy screening, building facade or decorative feature.

With the handover of $2 million-plus in “blood money” to Pakistani relatives of his shootout victims, the controversial Raymond Davis is back in the United States. While Davis’ release has enraged vast numbers of Pakistanis, it has pleased others, including US state department officials and the Pakistan “experts” in Washington.
Think-tank based Pakistan experts are particularly relieved by the Davis settlement, because the unsavory event had put them in a dilemma about who to support and who to condemn. These pundits that are tied to one or another faction of the American political spectrum find it difficult to keep the party line going vis-à-vis the US-Pakistan relationship: namely, that it is mutually beneficial, substantive, vital, and deep-rooted.
As a result, they focus on extraneous matters, and contrive to insert Jammu and Kashmir into the debate, to somehow justify the rabid anti-Americanism within Pakistan. They would like to blame Islamabad for it but the Afghan crisis prevents them.
Meanwhile, the contradictions proliferate and play out. Droning the “bad guys” in Pakistan’s tribal areas warring against US and NATO forces finds complete acceptance in the US. But hitting the Pakistani “terrorists” attacking Jammu and Kashmir does not.
You could categorize this as “talking-heads’ license.” But more often than not, commentators on US-Pakistan relations mistake the wood for the trees, fixing on one or another aspect of the relationship as if it were the Rosetta Stone. For example, last November, prior to President Barack Obama’s visit to India and other Asian nations, Moeed Yusuf, South Asia adviser at the US Institute of Peace’s Center for Conflict Analysis and Prevention advanced a disingenuous argument.
Yusuf argued that the Kashmir issue was not only central to improving India-Pakistan relations, but US resolution of the J & K dispute would grow America-Pakistan ties. “While the situation in Afghanistan and the threat emanating from Pakistani Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) has preoccupied the international community in recent years, long-term stability in South Asia cannot be achieved unless Indo-Pak normalization becomes reality. Kashmir remains the single most important outstanding issue,” Yusuf proclaimed.
“Regardless, what is clear is that Kashmir remains intrinsically linked to acts of terrorism - it is the outstanding nature of this dispute that allows militant groups in Pakistan to rally and continue operating with a certain amount of legitimacy,” Yusuf concluded. In other words, the US-Pakistan relationship also includes the deal that Washington must impose a resolution of the Kashmir issue on India.
It is another matter that the Davis dispute and its prickly resolution have put Obama’s visit to Pakistan on long-term “hold”.
Another USIP academic, Andrew Wilder, pointed out that money may not be the all-encompassing solution. Since 2001, the US has given Pakistan some $15 billion in American aid, but the US-Pakistani relationship remains weak, at best.
Georgetown University’s Christine Fair (a former USIP senior research associate) noted that “It really is important that we think about a new “big idea” for Pakistan.” Fair said that the US and Pakistan actually don’t share strategic interests but can build a long-term alliance anyway.
On the other hand, Brookings Institution’s Stephen Cohen focused on Kashmir. “The United States must have its own views on Kashmir. I think we should speak up and talk about this,” he said.

AKSU, an important urban oasis on the Silk Road where Buddhism flourished during antiquity. The trade route provided Buddhism (Great Vehicle) with the means to spread from Gandhāra on the Indo-Afghan frontier to the Tarim basin in the 1st century CE. The abundance of cave sanctuaries carved into sandstone cliffs around the city recall the popularity of Buddhism and the ancient melting pot of eastern and western cultures incorporated Persian, Indian, Greek, Tocharian and Chinese influences (Boulnois, 2001).
Nowadays, Aksu is a town and major oasis of the Northwest Tarim Basin in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China (FIGURE 1). Located between the southern foot of the Tien Shan Mountains (“Heavenly Mountains”) and the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, the administrative area of the city (18,184 sq km) had a population of 572,700, in 2000, composed of 52 percent Han Chinese, 47 percent Uighurs and 1 percent Hui Chinese. It is a major administrative center of the Aksu Prefecture. This vast area stretches over 131,341 sq km with a population of about 2.19 million inhabitants, mainly composed of Uighurs (about 72 percent). People are mostly concentrated in foothill oases and marginally in small mountain villages in the Kirghiz pastoral area of the medium Tien Shan (Xinjiang Bureau of Statistics, 2001).
The name Aksu literally means ‘white water’ in Turkish. The town and surrounding areas located in the arid zone are dependent on the torrential streams running from the Tien Shan Range. At an altitude of about 1,000 m, the Aksu oasis is strategically located at the confluence of the Toshkan and the Aksu Rivers, where the strong flow runs off the mountain over the deposits of a large alluvial fan. The abundance of water comes from the melting of snow and ice of the numerous and wide glaciers located in the high mountains, such as Tomur Peack (Pobedy Peak, 7,439 m), the highest peak of the Tien Shan mountains. The upper Aksu basin stretches over the territory of China but also extends over East Kyrgyzstan, where rainfall levels are higher than that in the Southern side of the Tien Shan (Atlas kyrgyzskoĭ SSR, 1983). Therefore, the Aksu River permanently flows through the year and stands as the main water supplier to the Tarim River, with a volume contribution up to 76 percent (Ren, p. 393).
The wealthy past of the Aksu oasis is reported in Chinese chronicles. During the Han Dynasty (2nd century BCE to 2nd century CE) and the Tang Dynasty (618- 907 CE), when the area was under Chinese control, the oasis was an important stopover on the northern branch of the Silk Road. Between Kashgar and Anxi, merchants and travelers reached Aksu as they made their way around the northern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, through the Tarim Basin. Aksu was also connected with the Ili Valley and Junggar Basin by an ancient road crossing northward over the hills of the upper Aksu River valley to the Tien Shan ranges. Near Aksu many historical sites (dating from the 3rd to the 5th century CE), such as the Qiuci murals and the Sayram Thousand-Buddha Caves, recall a time when Buddhism flourished along the Silk Road. After the desertion of the caravan trade in the 14th century, the oasis activity inevitably declined. At the end of the 19th century, Aksu City remained a regional trade centre with large bazaars and caravanserai, according to Francis Younghusband who visited Aksu in 1887 (Younghusband, p. 154). The town population was then 20,000, plus a garrison of about 2,000 soldiers (Reclus, p. 140).
Nowadays, under the pressure of Chinese government policy, this remote area has undergone important changes in human and economic geography. The abundant water resources and the plentiful sunshine induce a vegetable cover duration of about 200 days per year in Aksu piedmont, thus providing profitable conditions for the development of agriculture. As a consequence and since the 1980s, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, a paramilitary organization whose aim is to colonize the strategic areas of minority nationalities, started building large mechanized state farms and a vast water network in order to exploit unused arable lands. Through the last two decades, the irrigated surface of the oasis more than doubled. Since the westward extension of the Southern Xinjiang railway reached Aksu in 1998, a substantial migration of Han has taken place, especially for cotton, rice and vegetable cultivation in the new lands reclaimed from the desert (Government of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, p. 71).
Aksu oasis is also undergoing rapid industrial expansion due to the development and processing of abundant natural resources. The recent exploitation of oil and natural gas in the Tarim River high-yield oil fields has brought about economic growth and structural changes in the Aksu oasis. A 424 km-long new highway, connecting Aksu City to Khotan across the Taklamakan opened in 2007, improving access for the exploration and the development of a new oil field in the desert. Accordingly, an extensive industrial park of oil-field services and petrochemical enterprises has started to actively produce chemicals, fertilizers and plastics in Aksu. The Aksu region is also rich in non-ferrous resources such as mercury, lead and particularly coal. In 2007, the 55 coal mines located in the Tien Shan Mountains produced two millions tons of raw coal that were conveyed to the thermal power plants in Southern Xinjiang (Government of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, p. 72).
Aksu used to be known as a traditional Uighur oasis with a substantial and thriving agricultural economy, but the progressive Sinicization and industrialization of the area, through intensive development and exploitation of local oil and gas deposits along with improvements in transportation infrastructure, has implied a dramatic economic expansion since the 1980s.

The Magis Spun Chair designed by Thomas Heatherwick, is a stool, a chair, a sculptural object and a spinning top in one!
After lengthy research into the geometric simplification of a familiar object type, the Spun Chair was designed producing a completely rotationally symmetrical chair.
This unique and fun design is such that the seat, back and arms are all the same profile. Therefore it is not initially apparent that this is a chair, however when lent on its side, Spun forms a comfortable and functional chair that can rock from side to side, or even spin round in a complete circle.
The Magis Spun Chair by Thomas Heatherwick comes with a full manufacturers warranty.

Belgian favourite, Yves V concocts a new wonder with previous collaborator Matthew Hill, for a high-octane, new-school spin on “Teenage Crime”. This time around, the duo up the ante with a no holds barred repurposing of the majorly-respected original, fuelled with a fresh perspective.
Crystal Skies (aka Britian Holcomb and Aaron Dawson) make their debut on Seven Lions’ Ophelia Records with the release of the single “Never Change” featuring Gallie Fisher, and the B-Side, “Carbon.” Representing the sound Seven Lions spearheaded, both tracks by Crystal Skies are great additions to the Ophelia catalogue. “Never Change” features dreamy vocals by Gallie Fisher, who has previously spent some time in the studio with the duo. “Carbon” presents a darker bass sound, which showcases the duo’s heavier artistry by incorporating destructive harmonies and booming basslines.

For the EP’s second track, “Get You Out Of My Head“, Kendoll fuses elements of Garage and Bass music for a shuffle encouraging rhythm that will feel right at home in nightclubs from London to LA.
The Prodigy’s new single “We Live Forever” is a track that brings together Keith and Maxim (plus a killer Ultramagnetic MCs vocal hook) over a sinister ascending riff that keeps coming at you, before erupting into a violent energy only Liam Howlett knows how to bring. “We Live Forever” is a striking highlight from The Prodigy’s latest album, “No Tourists”. This album sees The Prodigy join the ranks of Paul McCartney and Elton John in achieving seven UK number 1s (no other electronic act has done this). Read more about they’re new album here.
60 minutes, 38 tracks, 2 DJs and 2 MCs who have put together all new lyrics and vocals for the entire mix. They’re Problem Central’s secret weapon and it is their vocal sparring and toe-to-toe MCing which really turn this mix into something unique. The mixtape has racked up over 78,000 plays since release through online hype, but this isn’t just any old mix though, it’s an incredible display of MCing across all styles of drum & bass, a return to the old school days and it’s something which I’m sure is going to be appreciated by an audience outside of dnb too due to the level of creativity and skill involved.
Famous French DJ/producer Sebastien Drums – yes, the guy who did “My Feelings For You” w/ Avicii – teamed up with the Swedish duo Rob & Jack to bring back a classic! “He’s A Dream” is a cover of the identically named song by Shandi Sinnamon from the Flashdance movie soundtrack. Back in 2004 the legendary American duo Deep Dish had a huge international chart and club hit with this theme already and now is a good time to bring it back where it belongs – to the dance floors!
Kicking 2019 off in an emphatic manner, Dutch music maestro Don Diablo drops yet another major future house offering, this time teaming up with American singer/songwriter Kiiara for a sensational collaboration, “You’re Not Alone”. Opening with Kiiara’s alluring vocals, “You’re Not Alone” is an ethereal creation, which seamlessly blends the track’s future house composition with Kiiara’s emotive vocal piece. Maintaining a soft glow throughout, “You’re Not Alone” flourishes across its 3-minute duration with soaring synths and a truly uplifting melody. With its motivational message and feel-good energy, “You’re Not Alone” is destined to capture the hearts of dance music lovers all over the globe.

So I'm having an issue that I know was fairly common on years before 2009. The lights in the instrument panel cluster started going out a couple of weeks ago. At first, it would just go out for a few minutes. Now, it's out all the time. Eventually I figured out it wasn't just lights inside the car. Here's a list of what I can tell is out.
I checked all the fuses with a fuse checker (and visually for the important ones that are obviously related like PK/LP RH and LH) and they're all fine. Years before 2009 seem to have a problem with the splice pack melting and causing similar issues but I can't find any info on this happening to the 09, and that splicer isn't even there. I also looked under the fuse box in the engine compartment and can't see any obviously charred wires. The bulbs themselves that are "out" all look fine, and the fact that it started out happening intermittently really makes me think it's a wiring problem, but I just don't know where to start. It seems like there's way less info out there about the 2009+ models.
The biggest problem is that no one can see me from behind at night unless I'm braking, so I can't really drive after dark. I'm at the point where I need to take it in if I can't figure out what's wrong myself, but I commute half an hour to work so I can't really not have my car for a long time. And the thing is probably only work like $2k anyway so I don't want to drop tons of money in labor costs for somebody to track down an electrical problem. Any ideas for other obvious areas to check?
Not sure if anybody is actually reading this, but here's an update of the little progress I've made.
I'm pretty sure I've figured out what the issue is, though I haven't had the time to try to fix it yet. I'm mostly posting this because I hate finding a post online where somebody has the same issue I have and they never post what the problem or fix was.
Basically, I think the wire coming off the park lamp relay (and feeding PK/LP RH and LH) has a bad connection or something. Those two fuses have no power, but the fuses themselves are good. I took the relay out and tested it and it's good. I used the test light to probe both the high and low amp power coming to the relay and they're both hot. So the relay is good and getting power, but it's not getting to the fuses. With the relay out, jumping from the incoming power to the fuses turns on everything that should be on. Obviously, then, jumping from any fuse getting power to the cold fuses gives them power. Notably, jumping only one will power the other one, meaning the connection between them is still good.
Power should come out of the relay and then split before going to the two fuses. So if power comes to the relay (and the relay is good) but doesn't make it to the fuses, and the fuses are still connected to each other, it seems like the problem pretty much has to be between the relay and where power splits before going to the two fuses. Since nothing looked melted when I looked under the fuse block a week and a half or so ago, I'm going to guess the connection coming off the relay is loose or something. But I won't have time to get under the fuse block and look again until Saturday. In any case, I'm hoping it will be a relatively easy fix.
Still haven't had the chance get under the fuse block because it's been raining way too much. But I came up with a cheap quick fix until I can fix it the real way. I bought two fuse taps and tapped PK/LP RH into another 10A fuse.
As a side note, I really hate how the fuse block is laid out, with every row of normal fuses in between relays or those bigger box shaped fuses. The only 10A fuse with enough room around it was EMS-2, since fuse taps seem to all have the out wire coming off the side. And the park lamp fuse definitely didn't have room for that, so I had to chop the wire off and just jam a wire in the front where one of the fuses is supposed to go. But at least everything is still fused properly and now PK/LP LH gets power from RH. It should be fine until I get a free sunny Saturday to repair the connection coming off the park lamp relay.
