Too bad that my country (the Netherlands) got knocked out, but at least I'm glad that the U.S. made it to the final - which is good for the sport.
P.s.: Am I the only one that is amazed to find so much attention for this here and in online news in general?
I have seen a local increase in soccer here in Ohio too in the last year.
I was thinking the opposite! Here in America, this seems to be getting very little coverage. . .
There's coverage, but not much hype. We're competing for the world cup!, and it doesn't seem that way on the media right now.
I was at a brew pub in a small town in Wisconsin earlier and I heard a shout go up from a bunch of people watching something on the TVs by the bar. I remember thinking it was strange, because it's not football season.
On the way out, I realized it was the women's soccer game. It was a jarring moment, but in a nice way.
No, I am also impressed with the amount of media attention the Women's World Cup has been generating. Especially here in U.S, this is great for soccer and the future of women's sports.
Seriously, I think that every world cup more and more people are getting interested in the US. The 2014 cup was what got me willing to watch some MLS games and now I'm a La Galaxy fan and own the FIFA 15 game. | 2019-04-19T23:11:25 | https://snapzu.com/jcscher/united-states-vs-japan-2015-womens-world-cup-final-time-tv-guide/comments/52063 |
Your Favorite Dog Nanny is here!
My love for all animals is immensely strong, especially dogs! During my year off after college, I spent 6 months as a Dog walker with the company Green Dog Walking. My passion for the job allowed me to pick up how to look after 12 dogs at one time along with one other colleague. Within a couple weeks of the job I had learnt all of their characters so understood how to deal with each dog individually in any situation. The job also gave me opportunities to dog sit at the owners' homes. This was very exciting for me as it meant I was able to spend extra time with some of them.
As seen in my pictures, I took care of two different dogs outside of work. Whiskey and Bonnie, both amazing dogs. I adapted to both their needs which made them really happy bunnies!
Unfortunately, I cannot take dogs into my own home due to my kitty, but am more than happy to look after your furry babies in their own homes where they're most comfortable!
If you have special time requirements, simply let Gizem know. | 2019-04-19T20:30:23 | https://uk.dogbuddy.com/dog-sitter-london/your-favorite-dog-nanny-is-here/152572 |
Law enforcement officers are listening. More than ever.
State and local authorities received more than 3,100 wiretap approvals from judges last year, an increase of 34% above the number of authorizations the previous year, according to a report released today.
Federal judges, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts report said, approved 1,207 wiretaps, and 1,987 were authorized by state judges. Historical data reveal applications are rarely turned down. Only one application was denied in 2010.
Wiretap applications in California, New York and New Jersey accounted for 68% of all state approvals. The report is here and click here for last year's data.
Drug investigations accounted for the majority of wiretap applications, last year. The report said 84% of all wiretaps (2,675) stemmed from drug cases, with homicide and racketeering investigations following. The largest number of state wiretap requests were made in California and in New York.
Authorities reported they encountered encryption during six state wiretaps. But investigators, the report said, still managed to obtain the plain text of the communication.
Wiretaps that were reported as terminated as of December 31 were responsible for more than 4,700 arrests and 800 convictions, the report said. In one case, a federal wiretap in the Northern District of Georgia led to the seizure of more than $3.3 million in cash, 48 kilograms of cocaine and 60 pounds of crystal methamphetamine. A wire in Kentucky led investigators to $4 million and 42 kilos of coke.
Last year, authorities reported that a total of 2,582 arrests and 2,504 convictions arose from wiretaps authorized in previous years.
They just keep coming and coming. The number of intellectual property complaints filed at the U.S. International Trade Commission in the first six months of 2011 is well above the pace set in 2010 - which itself smashed previous caseload records.
Between Jan. 1 and June 30, companies brought 42 cases alleging IP infringement under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 at the ITC. If the deluge continues, it will be a 50% increase over last year.
The 2010 docket of 56 cases was an all-time high, up more than 75% over 2009, as reported in December.
The biggest spike in 2011 came in June, when 14 new cases were filed. Among them: Samsung Electronics suing Apple Inc. over iPhones, iPods and iPads; AU Optronics Corp. suing Samsung and others over flat panel display devices – and Samsung suing AU over liquid crystal display devices; Honeywell International Inc. suing Furuno Electric Co. over GPS systems; and OSRAM GmbH suing LG Electronics Inc. over light-emitting diodes.
“The whole world seems to be focused on Section 337,” said Tom Schaumberg, a name partner at Adduci, Mastriani & Schaumberg, which last year was involved in more ITC cases than any other firm.
Several factors explain the surge in cases, he said. More foreign-based companies like Samsung, Nokia and Toshiba are using the ITC offensively, as are Fortune 500 companies like Apple, Hewlett-Packard Co., and Microsoft Corp. The disputes often involve high-tech products with short shelf-lives, and the ITC’s 16-month average turnaround is crucial.
Given the volume of cases, it’s not clear whether the ITC’s six administrative law judges can keep up the pace. Increasingly, they’ve encouraged parties to settle or mediate cases, and have been holding Markman hearings on patent claim construction.
An Alexandria, Va., man is accusing a group of Metropolitan Police Department officers of unlawfully detaining him for taking pictures of police activity, according to a suit filed today in Washington federal court.
Last July, according to the complaint (PDF), Jerome Vorus was taking pictures of a traffic stop in Georgetown. Vorus claims that police officers approached him, asked for his identification and questioned him about why he was taking pictures.
Vorus also claims police officers told him that they can stop anyone they want, which, Vorus argues, is also false. Vorus walked away after police returned his identification, although he was never told he was free to leave.
The complaint alleges violations of Vorus’ First Amendment right to take pictures of police in public places and his Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable seizure, since he alleges the officers detained him without any reason to suspect he had committed a crime. Vorus is also suing for false arrest and imprisonment.
Vorus is the only plaintiff in this case, but he also accuses D.C. police of making similarly unlawful stops in the past.
“On many other occasions, MPD officers have unlawfully ordered members of the public to cease taking photographs of police officers or police activities in public places,” he writes in the complaint.
Arthur Spitzer, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of the Nation’s Capital, is representing Vorus.
A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police Department was not immediately available for comment.
Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. said this afternoon that a special prosecutor is conducting a criminal investigation of the death of two detainees in United States custody as part of an examination of CIA interrogation abuses.
The special prosecutor, John Durham, who was initially appointed in 2008 to review the CIA's destruction of interrogation tapes, examined the interrogation of 101 detainees who were taken into custody after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Durham’s expanded role to review interrogation techniques came at Holder’s request to determine whether any federal laws were violated during the questioning of detainees. Holder said previously the department would not prosecute any individual who acted in good faith and within the scope of interrogation guidance from the Office of Legal Counsel.
Holder said today in a prepared statement that an expanded criminal investigation beyond the death of the two detainees is not warranted.
Time magazine reported this month that a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Va., is hearing evidence about the November 2003 death of Manadel al-Jamadi at the Abu Ghraib prison.
A Washington man incorrectly diagnosed with HIV can sue his health clinic for infliction of emotional distress, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals ruled (PDF) today, expanding the ground for similar damages claims for the first time since 1990.
Although previous case law limited claims for emotional damages to cases in which a person was in physical danger and feared for his safety, the en banc court found that "physical endangerment" is too limiting a standard.
"Because care for the body and the emotions are so interlinked, and patients often are dependent on their physicians’ exercise of due care, they therefore are susceptible to suffer emotionally as well as physically as a result of their physicians' negligence," the judges wrote, noting the ruling is not limited to cases involving health care providers.
Hedgepeth was represented by Washington solo practitioner Jonathan Dailey.
"It's a tremendous victory six years in the making, not only for Mr. Hedgepeth, but for all those who suffered emotional distress at the hands of a negligent party," Dailey said this afternoon.
Marc Fiedler of Washington's Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis & Lightfoot filed an amicus brief for the Trial Lawyers Association of Metropolitan Washington, D.C., on Hedgepeth's behalf. He said he was pleased the court unanimously adopted the bulk of the association's recommendations.
Alfred Belcuore, also a Washington solo practitioner, argued for Whitman-Walker Health. In a written statement, Belcuore and his client said they were reviewing the decision.
"The Opinion demands committed attention and thoughtful analysis...Once we have completed this study, we will decide what our next steps may be regarding this pending legal matter," they said.
Children’s National Medical Center filed an amicus brief on Whitman-Walker Health's behalf, but a representative there could not immediately be reached.
Health care win: A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit upheld the health care reform law on Wednesday. Our Marcia Coyle reports that the main opinion in the first appellate level ruling on the law was authored by former Supreme Court advocate and Bush appointee Jeffrey Sutton.
Confirmation Changes: The Senate confirmation process is still broken, but the Senate voted Wednesday to subject fewer nominees to it. By a 79-20 vote, the Senate reduced the number of executive branch appointees that need to be confirmed, according to The New York Times.
Coulda been: Richard Poff, the Virginia congressman who turned down an offer to be nominated to the Supreme Court in 1971, has died. As The Washington Post reports, Poff wanted to spare his family controversy over his past civil rights views. Lewis Powell Jr. ultimately got the nod.
Unfriending a Facebook Challenger: DLA Piper withdrew from representation of businessman Paul Ceglia, who claimed he owns more than 80 percent of Facebook. Facebook's lawyers at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher have accused Ceglia of "amateurish forgery" of documents that were supposed to support the claim, according to a report by The AmLaw Daily.
Two federal prosecutors who were held in contempt for allegedly flouting court orders in the Ted Stevens public corruption case in Washington today asked an appeals court to vacate the finding, calling the trial judge's ruling defective.
The prosecutors, William Welch II and Brenda Morris, former supervisors in the U.S. Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, are challenging the contempt finding issued in February 2009 during post-trial litigation in the Stevens case.
Last October, Judge Emmet Sullivan of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia removed Morris and Welch from under contempt. But Sullivan refused to vacate his initial contempt order. The judge did not impose sanctions against the prosecutors.
Hogan Lovells partners Catherine Stetson and Chuck Rosenberg, who represent Morris, declined to comment this afternoon. Welch’s lawyers—Covington & Burling’s Mark Lynch and William Taylor III, a Zuckerman Spaeder partner—also declined to comment. The joint submission in the D.C. Circuit is here.
Welch and Morris remain under criminal investigation stemming from the botched prosecution of Stevens, who was charged in Washington federal district court with making false statements on Senate financial disclosure reports.
The prosecution was thrown out in the post-conviction stages after the Justice Department determined the trial attorneys did not turn over certain documents to the defense that would have undermined the testimony of a key witness.
One big question is whether Sullivan’s finding was criminal or civil. The judge characterized it as civil in his October 2010 ruling. But lawyers for Welch and Morris said today it was a criminal contempt finding. The prosecutors would not be able to challenge a civil contempt finding on appeal.
A former wealth manager who lied about the source of tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions for Hillary Clinton's presidential bid was sentenced today to three years of probation.
Lawyers for Evan Snapper, who pleaded guilty to a false statements charge in January in Washington federal district court, had fought against the imposition of a prison sentence. Snapper faced a guideline sentencing range of between 10 and 16 months.
Prosecutors alleged Snapper “knowingly and willfully” caused the Hillary Clinton for President Committee to file false campaign contribution reports with the Federal Election Commission. The reports falsely showed that more than $48,000 in contributions to Clinton came from 21 people when the source was Patricia Cornwell, the crime novelist.
The Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section did not oppose a sentence of probation, according to court papers filed this month. Much of the government’s sentencing memo is blacked out. In earlier court papers, prosecutors said Snapper had cooperated with the government.
A divided federal appeals court in Washington has ruled against the Federal Bureau of Investigation's refusal to provide a death row inmate information about the men he believes committed a quadruple homicide in Texas in 1983.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 this week in ordering the bureau to provide documents to the inmate, Lester Bower Jr., about three Oklahoma drug dealers whom Bower alleges are the real killers. In the alternative, the court said, the agency must at least search for records and argue why any document should not be released.
The court said lawyers for Bower proved the public’s interest in knowing whether the FBI is keeping records secret that could exonerate a man on death row outweighs the government’s concern over protecting the privacy of the men whom Bower blames for the murders.
“The fact that Bower has been sentenced to the ultimate punishment strengthens the public’s interest in knowing whether the FBI’s files contain information that could corroborate his claim of innocence,” Judge David Tatel said for the panel majority, which included Judge Judith Rogers. The court's opinion is here.
Bower, represented pro bono by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius in the appeals court, was convicted and sentenced to death in 1984. Since the conviction, two witnesses have come forward to implicate four Oklahoma drug dealers in the murder. A state judge has stayed Bower’s execution and granted a motion for DNA testing of crime scene evidence. The state proceedings are pending.
Bower’s attorneys in January 2008 filed Freedom of Information Act requests with the FBI and the Executive Office for United States Attorneys seeking information about the bureau’s investigation of the killing of four men at a ranch near Sherman, Texas. The shooter used a silencer, according to markings on the 11 bullets pulled from the victims’ bodies.
Rubbing lotion on your skin will not make you thin, the Federal Trade Commission today reminded us all in a $900,000 settlement involving ads for Nivea Skin Cream.
The ad shows a woman getting dressed after applying the lotion to her stomach and thighs. She digs through her closet and finds a pair of old jeans which now - amazingly - fit her. “You can rediscover your favorite jeans. And how they still get his attention,” according to the ad.
The company also allegedly purchased sponsored search results from Google so that when consumers searched phrases like “stomach fat” or “thin waist,” they got Nivea ads suggesting the lotion could tone their stomachs and thin their waists.
Under the proposed settlement, Beiersdorf is barred from claiming that any product applied to the skin causes substantial weight or fat loss or a substantial reduction in body size. If the company does want to claim Nivea (or anything else) will make you lose weight, it has to back it up with two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical studies.
In February, the company settled a class action over ads for its Good-bye Cellulite products for $3.175 million. | 2019-04-19T00:42:31 | https://legaltimes.typepad.com/blt/2011/06/index.html |
Today, members of Congress are agonizing over legislative language and Congressional Budget Office reports, trying to find the right mixture of programs and policies to make a dent in future healthcare spending growth.
If a new study from the University of Chicago is correct, much of this work will be akin to building barriers from sand to try to prevent a tidal wave rapidly encroaching upon land.
Last week HLC participated in the Women in Technology roundtable event which gave their members an overview about the role of technology in health reform as it relates to electronic medical records, care management, and identity.
“Women in Technology hosted a roundtable event to give their members a closer look at how healthcare policy intersects with technology. The presentations dove into where our government is heading when it comes to Health IT. Particularly when it comes to Electronic Health Records, the speakers focused on the recent progress in moving these life- (and money-) saving technologies forward.
HLC believes the nationwide use of health information technology, including the development of uniform standards for information-sharing and a national patient privacy standard will create quality improvements and greater patient safety. I would like to thank Shana for highlighting our efforts on health information technology.
There was a great deal of hoopla Saturday night over the Senate Democratic leadership’s success in gaining the minimum 60 votes necessary to bring health reform legislation to the floor to begin debate after the Thanksgiving holiday. It’s perhaps a story in itself that there was so much drama over a procedural vote simply to allow debate on the President’s signature policy issue.
Despite Saturday’s successful vote, the road to health reform enactment seems more fraught with potholes than ever. The Capitol Hill newspaper, Politico, has a good summary story today on the current state of play, headlined, “How Health Reform Could Fall Apart.” Sunday’s news shows and interviews undermined any supposed momentum that was claimed on Saturday. Centrist senators made it clear that they will not vote for a bill that includes the current public option language. Senators on the left, like Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH), said Sunday that they’ve compromised on the issue as much as they’re going to.
• I wouldn’t have thought it possible to draft a health reform bill larger than the House’s 1,990 pages, but the Senate weighed in at 2,074.
I would like to thank the StandardNet for publishing my op-ed piece on the need to reset the current health reform debate in order to win back the public’s confidence. | 2019-04-18T14:41:20 | http://prognosisblog.com/2009/11/ |
September 18th hasn't been an historically great day in Asian boxing, for whatever reason, but we have still had plenty of fights fall on this day with varying levels of importance.
On this day in 1963 we saw a surprising change of title as Thailand's Pone Kingpetch, Thailand's first ever world champion, was stopped inside a round by Japan's Hiroyuki Ebihara, who claimed the unified, WBA/WBC, Flyweight title. Kingpetch went into the fight having previously beaten the great Fighting Harada with a majority decision in Thailand and nobody had expected Ebihara to blast him away like this. Unfortunately for the Japanese fighter his reign was short lived and he lost his titles in a rematch with Kingpetch just 4 months later.
It was on this day in 1982 that South Korean great Jung Koo Chang suffered his first professional defeat. Chang, the "Korean Hawk", was narrowly out pointed by the great Hilario Zapata. The fight was Chang's first world title bout as attempted to claim the WBC Light Flyweight title from Zapata ad although Chang did come up short he would quickly avenge the loss, stopping Zapata 6 months later. From then on Chang became a true boxing legend setting a then record number of defenses in the division.
In 1999 Kazakhstan's great Vassiliy Jirov successfully defended his IBF Cruiserweight title with a 10th round victory over Dale Brown. This was the first defense from Jirov who would hold that title until meeting American legend James Toney in 2003 and losing a 12 round decision in what was essentially a thriller.
Sadly it was also on this date that we last saw Thailand's Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym in the ring. Poonsawat defeated Danilo Pena in what would be his final fight before it was discovered that he suffered from thalassemia and caused him to retire from the sport. Just prior to his retirement Poonsawat was set to fight Cuban sensation Guillermo Rigondeaux and it's a real shame we didn't get to see that bout as it would have been very interesting. | 2019-04-21T07:21:07 | http://www.asianboxing.info/on-this-day/category/september-18th |

It really saddens me whenever I read news about war, especially when it concerns my homeland Philippines. Lately, news about Chinese vessels threatening our shores specifically the Panatag Shoal is spreading. This is roughly more than 12 hours travel via motorized boat from Pundaquit, Zambales which is one of Pinaykeypoint’s destinations.
There are many posts and videos which are massively posted in the internet regarding this issue. The Government was repeatedly asked about its stand regarding the situation and we knew that our leaders have different stand in this matter. I am reading some blogs and posts to gauge the opinions of my kababayans especially the youth of today which poses as hope of our nation as foretold by our national hero.
Truthfully, I was angered too. Yes, Filipinos are born warrior and in our blood runs the immortal seed of heroes as narrated by Carlos Romulo in one of his speeches. But the gleaming truth is that we are not ready for these eventualities. The Government, The Armed Forces, The Youth or the community as a whole is not prepared in terms of weaponry, tactics, intelligence, economy and finances.
I can’t imagine how a typical Filipino family would react if they heard cannons and fighter planes striking their homes. Have we asked ourselves of these questions? Countless families died in mere calamities such as floods and typhoons although actual weather forecasts and call for evacuations are disseminated to the public several days prior but then the actual numbers of casualties are real manifestations of unpreparedness or I may say, irresponsibility? And we keep on pointing our fingers to who is to blame afterwards.
My Dad is a World War II Veteran, a retired colonel of the Philippine Army. He is one of the thousands Filipino Soldiers who fought hand in hand with the government to liberate the Philippines from Japanese imperial forces during war time. I grew up with stories of wars and battles. I can’t count the times how my dad untiringly narrated his experiences in the battle field. The scars on his face, the traces of tortures and marks all over his body are the silent witness of his great bravery. The entire body of my father is a total map of war.
I am a Marshall Law baby too and I experienced how to react in the acts of war. My father used to hide us at the bottom of our house whenever there are outside threats asking my mom to never go out no matter what come and try to protect us whatever happens. We always have this emergency kit with us, back packs with complete supply that would last us for a week. We have this contingency plan that whatever happens and in the event that we were separated by war, we have to go to this particular place so we can be re-united again. This is because my dad lost some of his siblings during the war and they had a hard time finding them.
I was breed to be tough to all sorts of battle. The big D which stands for discipline was deeply marked in my forehead. I learned the essence of discipline through constant lecture and spanking but I do love my dad and I never take it against him. I owe him what I am today. My life’s struggles were easier compared to what he had been through during those crucial times. Living in the midst of tanks, firing guns and grenades is no joke. To survive from that battle is indeed a big miracle.
I thank God that I was born to a brave man like my dad. I’m very proud of him. His stories of war were shared to my kids. I can see the boredom in their eyes each time I narrate some stories of the past which they usually answered with, ‘mom, we heard that many times’ but this never stops me from repeating those stories over and over again. Just like them, I was so bored with my dad’s stories when I was a kid but it never stop him from narrating those stories until I comprehend the essence of those eventualities. If not for my dad’s patience, I will not be who I am today.
Each time I have city tours which includes Capas Death March Shrine visits, I never fail to see different reactions of my guests after reading the facts and figures that were engraved at the walls of Capas Death March Shrine. Some of my guests even cried after the visit and told me about their dad’s experiences during the war. I remember a group of Japanese guests who looked at me in the eye, they looked so bothered and repeatedly said sorry for the wrongdoings of their ancestors but I usually pat them and said that it’s a thing of the past and that both of our governments have done many efforts for peace and reconciliation.
It’s true that history told us that our race is one of the strongest warriors in the world in fact Lapu-Lapu was the first Filipino to defeat Europeans during the battle of Mactan and a coin was struck to honor that heroism and I can’t understand why when that 1 cent lost its value in the market, Lapu-Lapu’s rightful place in our local currency was gone as well.
Forgetting the heroic stories of the past and indulging in the vices of this new generation makes our youth weaker each day and it’s ironic that most of them are babbling about war when they don’t even lift their fingers to help the escalating problem of our garbage which is killing our rivers and seas resulting to massive floods in different areas of our land. History taught us how our forefathers worked hard to the extent of sacrificing their precious bloods to protect this land and its people. Now let us ask ourselves, are we really worth it?
Today we are facing another crisis. The face of war is looking at us in the face, staring directly in our eye. Let’s not make it as laughing stuff. This is not a subject to discuss over senseless posts. War is not a joke. The International community is accusing us that we are escalating the issue by posting thoughtless thoughts regarding China & its people. Diplomacy is not a sign of cowardice. At this point, this is the easiest way out. If you’re afraid to get burned, don’t play with fire.
Let’s be responsible enough. Think about your thoughts. Read your history before babbling about wars and lastly, look around you… Mother Nature is begging us to nurture her, yet we are deaf to her callings. I am not afraid of war because I am more than afraid with the Wrath of Nature. How about you? | 2019-04-23T15:55:25 | https://pinaykeypoint.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/the-irony-of-war/?shared=email&msg=fail |
I just started this 30 posts in 30 days self-imposed challenge yesterday and I’m already having second thoughts. Certainly my life, which is to say the least, a bit unstable these days is not the best situation in which one should add additional pressure, but I remain up to the task. Your 30-day challenge — should you accept of course— is, can you read ’em all?
I’m reminded of my favorite late-night talk show host Johnny Carson who once made a statement to a guest, in a semi-condescending way. Carson said he didn’t care that much who he had on stage with him every night, he just needed “warm bodies” to fill the guest chair. In the same way I just need warm subjects to fill my daily posts. But more than that I need to write something interesting and compelling enough that will bring my readers back for more. That’s the rub!
Welcome to September! Danger lurks ahead! Starting today for the entire month I will write and post something here every-single-day. At least that’s my intention … so long as my laptop and Internet access cooperate. I know you’ll be happy to know most of these entries won’t be the lengthy extravaganzas the earlier ones have been (averaging 1000 words each). Instead they’ll be shorter and more concise. Just a few thoughts usually at most.
Let this be my science experiment for the 30 days ahead. I hope I and my laptop can meet the challenge.
30 days … 30 posts!
The first — for this the first day of September — is just one click away. Click >>> here! <<< and let the good times begin!
Hello friends! It’s been a long weekend. My laptop AC adapter died early last week for a second time in just three months leaving it — temporarily anyway — a large paperweight. Anyone who really knows me will tell you the sad reality of just how lost I am without my computer. Every word and then some is true! Happily relief is on the way but it might not be until next week when it’s up and running again. Thanks to a local library I’m able to get online.
Quintus Horatius Flaccus was born some sixty-five years before Christ and died eight years before the Savior’s birth. Known in the English-speaking world as Horace, he was the leading Roman lyric poet during the reign of Augustus the first Emperor of the Roman Empire. “Carpe diem” or seize the day and “non omnis moriar” are all Horace originals from a long time ago. In Horace’s poetic style he expressed his personal and emotional feelings. In his world lyric poems did not have to rhyme, and even today do not need to be set to music or to a beat. “Perfect” I thought! I’ll be a poet in the style of the great Horace! No music and no rhyme, I got the time, let the writing begin! | 2019-04-19T14:53:31 | https://rixxblog.wordpress.com/category/writing-and-blogging/page/2/ |

The Baltimore Ravens will allow the due process of the law to run its course rather than making a snap decision on newly acquired linebacker Rolando McClain, according to the Baltimore Sun.
<p> McClain, who signed with the Ravens after being released in part by the Oakland Raiders because of two arrests, was arrested over the weekend and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in his hometown of Decatur, Ala. It was his third arrest in 16 months.
“There is due process on this, and we are paying attention to that,” Ravens senior vice president for public and community relations Kevin Byrne told the newspaper.
McClain had vowed to stay out of Decatur, but the latest incident, which sparked speculation that his stay with the Ravens might be a short one, occurred in a park in the city. He was released on $1,000 bond, though that bond could be revoked due to the two previous arrests. | 2019-04-25T06:52:48 | https://nationalfootballpost.com/ravens-in-waitandsee-mode-on-mcclain/ |

The natural progression of relationships stems across years. Throughout those years, you and your partner grow and change a lot individually and as a couple. Part of “playing the long game” involves making plans about your future together. But sometimes, when two different people are in a relationship, these differences could either complement or cause friction between partners.
Whether you’re planning for college, or a dream job, dream city–or even not planning at all–when you’re in a relationship, decisions are not one-sided anymore. They become these multi-facet matrix where one opinion or preference could be the total opposite of what your partner wants.
Does this mean it’s time to look at a big “goodbye”? Of course not! Everyone who enters in a serious relationship has some sort of plan to see that relationship until the end.
Sit down and talk it out.
Communication between couples have always been a major factor in establishing stronger emotional bonds between partners. When your major differences cause too much turmoil in your relationship, your first instinct would be to further antagonize each other. This might happen especially in relationships when both of you have strong personalities. However, this is counterproductive and would only create a rift between the two of you, and that’s the last thing you need now.
Lay everything out in the open: your hopes and dreams, the choices you have, the choices you don’t have, areas where you’re willing to compromise, everything. Just discuss together, and respect each other’s plans and/or opinions. Chip in some of your thoughts without being combative.
Look for the root of your differences.
You have to assess yourself as well. Empathy between couples plays an important role in overcoming challenges in your relationship, especially for internal problems like differing opinions, plans or dreams. Empathizing with your partner, understanding his/her feelings, and respecting his/her dreams are all important if you truly want to be with him or her in the long run.
Make those differences complement not cancel out each other.
In many relationships, sometimes a partner has to suppress a side of himself or herself to maintain harmony between the two of them. The problem is that this is unhealthy. When you encounter differences in your relationship, or when you realize that you have different plans in the future, try to use this opportunity to plan together. As mentioned above, talk it out. There’s no reason for the two of you not to meet each other halfway.
Being in a relationship with someone doesn’t automatically transform the two of you into similar people. Although, habits tend to rub off on each other. This does not mean that there will be no happily ever afters and that there’s only a long road to misery ahead of you. Compromise will always be an exercise of patience and a testament of your love for each other. | 2019-04-22T14:33:16 | https://hypothesisbooks.com/deal-different-life-plans/ |

A robot which talks, climbs stairs and serves drinks has been shown to the public at the Moscow Motor Show. Experts say machines are ready to start working with people. The trouble is – they have an image problem.
Asimo recognizes faces and understands questions. Its computer backpack can be programmed to fetch coffee. Makers, Honda, claim Asimo's the only humanoid robot in the world who climbs stairs.
The developers see old and sick people as first users according to Jean-Luc de Krahe, Events Coordinator at Asimo Studio.
Robots have worked in industry since 1961 but were thought too expensive and dangerous to put among humans. Now IRobot's already sold millions of these $200 home cleaners. Sergey Apresov, Editor in Chief at Popular Mechanics says the next step is direct work with humans, and the only barrier is psychological.
Asimo's already used to carry paper round Japanese offices. Developers are now teaching it human-style learning-by-experience. Show it a spoon and cup, through trial and error it learns to put one in the other. Robots are on the verge of critical mass in three key areas, that's price, looks and safety. That means their time has almost come, in the home, office and TV studio. | 2019-04-22T23:04:43 | https://www.rt.com/business/robots-picking-up-new-tricks-en-route-to-becoming-big-business/ |
Web-connected cameras can be great security and monitoring tools that can keep your home safe. They can give you with a bit of peace of mind, knowing that you can watch your home wherever you are.
But what if a hacker takes over your webcams as if they're his own? What if a someone uses all your smart home's smarts against you?
This is exactly what happened to this Illinois family recently. Read on and see how the terrifying ordeal unfolded and what you can do to prevent it from happening to you and your family.
A "smart home aficionado" from Illinois recently told CBS Chicago that they haven't had a good night's sleep in 10 days after a hacker broke into his Nest account and remote controlled his home security cameras and thermostats.
Arjun Sud, a homeowner from Lake Barrington, said that shortly after he and his wife put their 7-month old baby to bed, they heard a peculiar noise coming from the nursery. As Sud approached the room, he realized that it was a male voice coming from the nursery's Nest cam, one of the 16 he owns.
"I was shocked to hear a deep, manly voice talking," Sud told CBS. "… My blood ran cold."
But the couple also noticed that their Nest home thermostat was raised to a dangerous 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Terrified, they then took their sweating baby downstairs but the horror didn't stop -- the hacker started taunting and cursing them from his downstairs camera.
"Asking me, you know, why I’m looking at him because he saw obviously that I was looking back and continuing to taunt me," Sud told CBS.
Once Sud got past his initial shock, he managed to record a portion of the conversation. The couple then disconnected their Nest cameras, called the police and Nest itself.
Nest replied that he should have been using a unique password and two-factor authentication. His main gripe, however, is that Nest can't tell him how long the hack has been going on.
"We don’t know how long someone was in our Nest account watching us," Sud said. "We don’t know how many private conversations they overheard."
He said he is extremely disturbed that with all the Nest cameras installed all over his home, aside from a blue light that turns on when someone is talking, there's no other indication that a stranger could be watching.
"Until they actually communicate with you, they could be in here, watching as we are doing right now, and there is no difference. You can’t tell," Sud explains.
The Suds' ordeal follows another terrifying incident that involved a compromised Nest camera. Just last week, a hacker broke into a California family's Nest account and sent voice warnings about an impending nuclear strike from North Korea.
In both cases, the Nest accounts were compromised using stolen passwords from the victims' other online accounts. It turns out that both families were using recycled passwords that were also being used on other sites.
This jacking technique is commonly referred to as "credential stuffing." This is when someone feeds the credentials to an automated program that tries them all out on various websites, hoping that people have reused their passwords on multiple services. And with all the massive data breaches that are happening on a regular basis, stolen credentials are now being freely distributed online.
This is a good reminder of why you should always use unique passwords for all your accounts and never ever reuse the same password for multiple online services and websites. And while you're at it, don't use weak passwords that can be easily cracked. Here are new ways to come up with a secure password.
For even better security, use two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever available. 2FA gives you an extra layer of security that will help keep your accounts safe.
With the 2FA setting enabled, instead of just providing just your username or password to log in to an account, a secondary form of verification is required to prove your identity. The idea is that even though hackers may have figured out your credentials, without the special code, they still won't be able to access your account.
This data breach very well might go down in history. We recently talked about a massive breach that may have impacted almost three-quarters of a billion people through the merging of different lists. Well, it seems right when we thought it couldn't get any worse, it did just that.

I had a guardian hawk.
My hawk symbolized soaring over obstacles and taking action.
My hawk was a good hunter.
But my hawk is missing, and the bunnies are growing bolder.
A guardian rabbit does not seem nearly as intimidating as a guardian hawk.
But these bunnies are not wimps.
There are two that are seen everyday in our yard. This mottled brown one and one with a white stripe. They don't run when we come near. They are very calm, very bold. Especially the one with a white stripe down her nose. She's not scared of anything. She sits out there, daring as the daylight, nibbling on our overgrown weeds and flowers in the middle of our backyard.
I miss my hawk, but I was born in the Year of the Rabbit.
And Rabbit symbolizes abundance, good luck, and the arrival of something new. Perhaps I need to open my mind to the possibility that new things are on the way.
The bunnies are bold. The hawk is missing. Changes are on their way. | 2019-04-21T12:43:40 | http://www.tryitandyoumay.com/2016/09/i-miss-my-hawk.html |
Finance majors should have successfully completed and/or be ‘in progress of’ FINC 351 and 361 prior to registering for most finance electives.
Students may be eligible to be forced into full sections of the following required finance courses: FINC 341, 350, 351, 361 and 381, if student meets pre-requisites AND not taking the course would delay graduation.
If unable to register for any remaining finance electives, during pre-registration for the graduating semester, the student should complete a force request with the finance department. Note: Getting on a wait list for a full course does not guarantee placement in the course.
The best way to potentially enroll in a full course is through watching the registration system for any openings that could occur as other students drop the course.
Forcing priority is given to Finance Majors and bona fide graduation emergencies.
The only finance courses available to non-business students are FINC 201 and FINC 409.
The finance department opens all available seats for both courses on Howdy.
There are no force requests for FINC 201 and 409 because every classroom is at physical capacity.
Students should monitor Howdy and register if a seat becomes available. | 2019-04-20T13:06:47 | https://mays.tamu.edu/bba-finance/courses/ |

The need for free tissue transfer to cover defects of the lower legs has been increasing due to the rise in the number of diabetic patients and traumatic injuries, and free tissue transfer has therefore become more popular over the past few decades. It allows for the transfer of well-vascularized tissue to the wound site in a single stage, which leads to early ambulation and improved quality of life. Free tissue transfer has frequently been used to treat defects in the lower extremity associated with trauma, but it has been performed with more reluctance in patients with vascular disease due to the lack of recipient vessels and the poor general condition of such patients, which interferes with prolonged anesthesia. If no acceptable recipient vessel is present in the wounded leg, cross-leg free flaps are available in the extremities. Selecting vessels in the contralateral lateral limb to cover the ipsilateral defect can play an effective role in providing sufficient blood circulation to the transferred tissue [[0-9]+,[0-9]+,3]. The flap-sharing technique was employed in the reconstruction of two feet wounds due to atherosclerosis, using one flap and a single recipient vessel in the foot to minimize the operation time under general anesthesia.
A 64-year-old man presented to our outpatient clinic with complaints of mummification of the right third and left second toes and bilateral wet gangrene of the foot. This patient had poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and a history of a coronary artery bypass graft seven months previously due to myocardial infarction. He was also a current smoker with a history of 30 pack-years. He had also undergone percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) to the left common iliac artery and right superficial femoral artery four months previously due to severe atherosclerosis obliterans. The orthopedic surgeon removed the painful areas of gangrene on both feet. Despite long-term wound care, involving negative-pressure wound therapy and the sequential application of split-thickness skin grafts, the foot wounds showed no signs of improvement. The patient was referred to our clinic. Although preoperative computed tomography angiography showed multiple atherosclerotic changes in both lower extremities, the ankle-brachial index was measured using photoplethysmography to be 1.05 in the right ankle and 1.03 in the left ankle (Fig. 1). The pressure ratio of the right dorsalis pedis artery to the brachial artery was 1.01, indicating that it could be safely used as a recipient vessel. Since the wounds were on both feet and one reliable recipient vessel was present, a single anterolateral thigh free flap was planned to cover both wounds in the pattern of a cross-leg free flap.
Free tissue transfer by vascular anastomosis has been performed frequently in a wide variety of wound cases . Cross-leg free flaps and bridging flaps are also techniques for overcoming the lack of recipient vessels adequate for anastomosis in ipsilateral lower extremity defects . To the best of our knowledge, covering defects on both sides via the use of a flap-sharing technique involving crossing the legs and using an anterolateral thigh perforator flap has not been previously reported in the literature. Free flaps are a promising solution, but atherosclerosis is a major risk factor associated with flap failure due to the lack of adequate vessels in the recipient and donor flap areas. Recent studies have shown that small perforators are often spared from atherosclerosis and may be used in these vessels for free tissue transfer . Numerous studies on the combination of vascular bypass surgery and free tissue reconstruction of the lower leg have been published [[0-9]+,2]. Since the introduction of endovascular therapy, which is less invasive than conventional bypass surgery, many institutions now propose endovascular treatment prior to free flap reconstruction. In this case, the patient had undergone PTA seven months before the surgery. The procedure would improve the vascular measurement index and vibe on the satisfactory results of the flap. In additional to angiography after the division operation, the distant detached flap was viable due to neovascularization of the surrounding tissue, a phenomenon that has been described in the theory of flap survival in the cross-leg flap technique. Previous reports have shown that the optimal division period for this type of flap is between four and seven weeks after the transfer. However, the time required for the flap to become revascularized from the wound bed is highly variable, depending on the vascularity of the recipient area. The main advantage of this procedure was minimizing the operation time under general anesthesia in a patient with a poor cardiac condition. Using two free flaps simultaneously would have required two donor sites and a longer period of general anesthesia, while using two free flaps sequentially would have required general anesthesia to be performed twice. Although these decisions must always depend on the individual case, prolonged surgery and multiple operations under general anesthesia should generally be avoided in patients with severe atherosclerosis due to associations with higher morbidity and mortality .

Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan and photoplethysmography. (A) A CT scan showed atherosclerotic changes in the arteries of the lower leg. The previous angioplasty site can be seen on the left common iliac and right superficial femoral arteries. Stenosis of 50%–75% was found in the left middle superficial femoral artery. (B) The ankle-brachial index was measured to be 1.05 in the right ankle and 1.03 in the left ankle. The pressure ratio of the right dorsalis pedis artery to the brachial artery showed a reading of 1.01, suggesting that it would be viable as a recipient vessel.
Previous amputation had been performed on the third, fourth, and fifth left toes and the first, fourth, and fifth right toes. The wound had not improved, so a split-thickness skin graft was performed, but the graft was lost.
After the insertion of the flap into the right wound defect, end-to-side anastomoses were performed between the dorsalis pedis vessels and the vessels of the flap. The remaining portion of the flap was then inserted into the left wound defect.
The patient was followed up for six months postoperatively. No complications occurred in the recipient and donor sites during the postoperative period.
Postoperative angiography was performed one week after division. We observed abundant collateral vessels in the distant detached flap on the left foot. | 2019-04-20T07:27:15 | https://www.e-aps.org/journal/view.php?number=699 |
Did you lo's start rolling over and crawling?
Gabe never rolled until 6 1/2 months. He went back to front. Hes 9 months now. He's gone back-2-front a total of 6 times in his life and front-2- back once. But as a rule he never rolls. Now he's sitting up he doesnt like being on his back too much (doesnt mind it for changes, but would rather play sat up) and he has never had tummy time for longer than 3 minutes as he hates it.
He doesn't crawl and I doubt he ever will as he doesn't even do those 'mini push ups' with his arms, he just flails about when on tummy and cries. HV keeps nagging at me to push it with tummy time and just let him cry it out when on tummy but I am not comfortable with this & will not do it. I read once that babies have an inbuilt urge to move and won't stay put forever!
I wasnt sure what age is normal to be doing certain things.
I totaly agree on the not pushing them when they cry part as my little one does this really hearty cry if i leave him to long and it kills me, they find it easier to tell us to push them because its not their baby!!
he crawled at 5 and half months at the same time, he sat unaided and said mama.. | 2019-04-20T10:53:57 | https://forum.madeformums.com/baby/80611-what-age.html |

Lost Society was founded in 2010 by guitarist and vocalist Samy Elbanna in Jyväskylä, Finland.
After several line-up changes, in the summer of 2011 the band reached it’s final form with Ossi Paananen on the drums, Arttu Lesonen on the guitar and Mirko Lehtinen on the bass.
The band recorded two demos during 2011-2012 and participated in a few band competitions, while also playing small shows in youth centers both in their hometown and elsewhere in Finland.
The biggest band competition the guys took part in was the Global Battle Of Bands, and after winning the Finnish chapter they made it all the way to the 2012 world finals in London. Their Finnish finals performance of the song “Trash All Over You” was recorded on video and released in YouTube, and it is from there that the Nuclear Blast Records representative spotted the band.
After that, the ball really started rolling. The band was signed to Nuclear Blast in the summer of 2012, and recorded their first album, titled “Fast Loud Death”, in September of the same year in Sonic Pump Studios, Helsinki with producer Nino Laurenne. The album was released in March 2013, and was well received all around the world. Fueled by the positive feedback, the band set on their first, 4 gig Finnish tour supporting one of their idols, Overkill.
Come summer 2013, the band hit some of the biggest festivals in Finland e.g. Tuska Open Air, Ilosaarirock and Jalometalli. In October 2013 Lost Society was given an incredible opportunity, and the band hopped on a plane to Japan, where they performed in the enormous Loud Park festival in front of an enthusiastic Japanese crowd.
Once they returned home, the band wasted no time before heading back to Sonic Pump Studios to record their second album with their trusted producer Nino Laurenne.
Before the second album was even released, Lost Society set out on their most ambitious endeavour to date in the form of a 31-day, 31-gig European Tour with Suicidal Angels, Fueled By Fire and Exarsis. The tour got massive attention all over Europe, and fortified Lost Society’s position in the frontline of today’s Thrash Metal scene.
The album, titled “Terror Hungry”, was released in April 2014 and was received with even more enthusiasm than it’s predecessor. It displayed the growth of the band as musicians and song-writers, and introduced an overall more mature Lost Society that showed no signs of slowing down.
After releasing the album the band set out on a Finnish tour, gathering enthusiastic crowds in clubs all over the country. This was followed by a festival summer even bigger than the year before, and the band got to play for massive crowds everywhere they went. This time the festivals weren’t limited to Finland, and Lost Society got to play in grand festivals such as Summer Breeze in front of huge masses of people.
The festival summer was followed by a second European tour supporting Destruction, as well as a headlining Spanish tour.
The band has had the pleasure of touring with many of their idols, including two tours with Children Of Bodom, and continues to gain recognition as one of the most energetic live performers around today.
In 2015, the band has already made their second trip to Japan and played a number of shows in Finland, and also performed on the main stage of France’s massive HellFest festival.
They are currently recording the third Lost Society album, which will according to frontman Samy Elbanna be “awesome as f**k”. With the new album, the band will keep bringing the audience what they ask for and continue to flood the world with Braindead Thrash Metal. | 2019-04-25T02:57:34 | https://www.ukfestivalguides.com/artists/lost-society/ |

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Through intense bombardment, seeing friends killed before her eyes and living without power, Layana Darwish stuck it out in Syria’s Aleppo through four years of civil war, even completing her degree despite the devastation.
What finally drove her to leave wasn’t the snipers or the bombs. It was the constant struggle to find safe water.
Civilians have borne the brunt of fighting between Syrian government forces and an array of insurgent groups in Syria’s divided commercial capital, a city of two million people where upended buses and cars stacked on top of each other shield residents from sniper fire.
With the city divided between a government-controlled west and rebel-held east, both sides have been able to deprive the other of water, which the United Nations and Red Cross say amounts to using it as a “weapon of war” against civilians.
“The water crisis is the catastrophe,” said 28-year-old Darwish, who left government-held Aleppo for Turkey just weeks ago.
“Can you imagine life without electricity? Well, we’ve tried that. We managed to adapt to all kinds of shortages and risks. But water is a different issue - how can you possibly live without it?” she said, speaking to Reuters over the internet.
Residents have resorted to digging makeshift wells, she said. But water drawn from them may be unfit for consumption. Her brother, who drank well water, contracted a kidney illness.
A worker for UN children’s fund UNICEF said cases of typhoid and salmonella had been reported from polluted water.
Fouad Halaq, a volunteer rescue worker in eastern Aleppo, said impoverished families were being forced to choose between purchasing food or clean water.
“A 1.5 liter container of water costs around 75 Syrian pounds ($0.40). A family of six can’t spend this much on water alone, they’ll have nothing left for food,” he told Reuters.
UNICEF worker Maher Ghafari said even bottled water sold by private enterprises was not necessarily safe, but nonetheless families were forming hours-long queues to buy it.
“A little girl waited in line for four or five hours, only to realize that the two gallons she had to carry were too heavy, and she fell over and started crying,” Ghafari said.
Aleppo residents on average have access to running water for only half the month, according to the Red Cross’s Pawel Krzysiek, who spoke from Damascus.
“This is not enough, even if people try to apply contingency measures such as a water tank,” he said. The Red Cross is working to facilitate access to clean ground water, producing online maps so people can locate their nearest source.
Accidental damage to water and electrical supplies has caused shortages. Recent fighting hit a power line and clashes have denied engineers access to fix it, Krzysiek said.
But the water crisis is also attributable to tactics by warring parties who intentionally deprive civilians of basic needs, international aid groups say. UNICEF said in August it had recorded 18 deliberate water cuts during the year.
Water supply to Aleppo is particularly vulnerable because at various stages of its journey it passes through different areas of control.
The initial pumping station on the Euphrates River is held by Islamic State, while the next pumping station, in the city’s eastern district of Soleiman al-Halabi, is controlled by rival insurgent forces. The final station is in government hands.
Islamic State cut off the supply from the Euphrates for a few days early last year. In July this year, Ghafari said, it reduced the supply to just 40 percent of the usual flow, drastically cutting water supplies for two hot summer months.
Fighters from the Nusra Front, a rival hardline Islamist group, have also exploited their control of Soleiman al-Halabi, cutting off water for three weeks in July to pressure the government to restore electricity, he said.
All the pumping stations depend on electricity supplies which are controlled by the government. While cities across Syria face shortages, Aleppo residents say they often get only an hour of electricity per day - or sometimes none at all.
When there is no power to operate the pumping station at Soleiman al-Halabi, water is often lost into the Quweiq river that runs between it and the final station.
UNICEF is helping install tanks and purification units downstream to save and store that water for collection, Ghafari said.
So far, there is little sign that either the government or the various rebel groups will be able to break the stalemate and assert control over Aleppo to allow normal life to return. Civilians, meanwhile, bear the brunt of the fighting.
Of 577 people killed in Aleppo city from January through September, 559 were civilians, monitoring group the Syrian Network for Human Rights said.
Vast areas have been reduced to rubble, with destruction hitting markets and mosques in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old city. | 2019-04-25T02:45:41 | https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-aleppo-idUSKCN0S91EM20151015 |

How long to get Wordpress email after setting up website?
In the video: "Website Built! What's Next?" it said that I should receive an email from Wordpress right away after completing the website setup. My domain name is already set up (it's been more than 48 hours since I did that). I completed the website setup about an hour ago. Am I being too impatient or should I have received the email already? I'd like to get started editing and adding content. Thank you for your help.
The Wordpress email may take longer. I suggest you move on to other things like accessing your website from within Affilojetpack and start tweaking it.
To access its WordPress admin, please logon to your Affilorama account and go to Our Products > AffiloJetpack and look for your website on the right side of the page.
Hover your mouse above the domain name and the click "Website Admin" from the dropdown menu that comes up.

Hi Kimberly! I'm sorry but the Wordpress email does take time before it gets to you. Sometimes, you do get it right away but it gets routed to your spam/junk mail so you don't see it.
The What's Next video does state you will receive a Wordpress email, but that is not as important as moving on with watching the videos and adding content to your website.
I suggest you move on instead of waiting. You can either go on to the next set of Help videos or you can access your site's WordPress admin by logging on to your Affilorama account and going to Our Products > AffiloJetpack and look for your website on the right side of the page.
Then, you can begin adding content. | 2019-04-21T20:24:20 | https://www.affilorama.com/forum/website-building/how-long-to-get-wordpress-email-after-setting-up-website-t32313.html |
Yesterday, while I was consuming my daily morning dose of Facebook updates, I clicked on one of the images my friend had uploaded and just as the photo viewer came up, I had a jaw-dropping experience. No, nothing was wrong with the photo, the thing that amazed me was the new photo viewer.
The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the new photo viewer was, “ Isn’t it a Google+ photo viewer lookalike?” and indeed, it was. The new Facebook photo viewer has the image on the left side and every other information like the caption, tags and comments on the right-hand side.
The Tag Photo and the Like button are located on the image itself. I have read and heard people getting one or two ads in the comments section but I have not come across any of them yet.
When you hover your mouse button over the photo you can see the next and previous button to navigate through your album. The best thing about the new update is that you don’t need to scroll down to read the comments. A user can read all the comments without loosing the sight of the photo.
Cool tip: Did you know on Chrome you could actually have a Facebook photo zoomed out right from your newsfeed? Well, check this cool Chrome extension we talked about to quickly take a peek into a Facebook photo.
The photos are also of a high resolution and larger in size thus giving an all-new experience to viewing snaps on Facebook.
Although the old classic Facebook photo viewer is not that great when compared to the new one, still if you find yourself too accustomed to the older version (or if you don’t have a wide-screen display yet which can help you see the photos and comments side-by-side) there are two tricks that would bring back the old photo viewer.
When you click on the thumbnail of any photograph to open it, just remember to press the CTRL key along with the mouse click. This will open the photograph in a new tab in the classic photo viewer.
If you forget to press the CTRL button while clicking the photograph, press the F5 button or just refresh the page to see your album in the good old photo viewer.
The new Facebook photo viewer is an amazing update if you are working on a wide screen monitor. Scrolling down to view the comments used to irk me big time and hence I find this new feature a huge improvement. Though the update looks like a rip-off of the Google+ photo viewer, I have no complaints.
What do you feel about the new photo viewer? Like it or hate it? Share with us your experience of using it in the comments. | 2019-04-19T12:20:51 | https://www.guidingtech.com/9637/new-facebook-photo-viewer-go-back-to-old-one-guide/ |

Meeting Nick Roussos for the first time is essentially a quick lesson in the advances of technology. He uses an ECO II device, fondly named “Percy”, to speak …. a computer, if you will.
Kids from all over Colorado have enjoyed learning how Nick communicates. During his presentations in schools, he carries along his first ECO model so that students and teachers can test drive it themselves! Click here to see Nick’s Speaker Flyer.
The Children’s Hospital Colorado, in conjunction with Colorado Easter Seal Society, conducts a Camp in the summer for kids who use such a device to communicate. Talking With Technology (TWT) Camp is a week-long program developed by Children’s Hospital Colorado for young people ages 6 to 21 who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems. Children’s Hospital Colorado contracts with the Colorado Easter Seal Society for this week to be held each summer at its camp facility, Rocky Mountain Village, in Empire, Colorado.
This unique week-long program pairs the child with a graduate student or professional trainer the camper knows from school (such as a OT, paraprofessional, speech or ABA therapist). The pair then train together throughout the week.
What an amazing opportunity to find ways for those without the ability to speak to find effective alternatives to make themselves heard!
Thanks Children’s Hospital and Colorado Easter Seals. Your work is truly awesome!
Not only does Jessica Sorgani touch many children’s lives as a speech therapist in a local elementary school, but she has also proven herself to be a friend and advocate to Nick and Awesome in Action. Jessica’s quiet and fun-loving demeanor is contagious, and Nick loves working with her in all capacities. As an experienced speech language pathologist, Jessica is very knowledgeable of Nick’s speech device, as well as communication in general. Lucky for us, Jessica has put this skill to work in order to help further the message of acceptance and inclusion that Awesome in Action shares with students throughout Northern Colorado. She helped Nick connect with many teachers in order to set up a presentation in the school where she works. This process can be tedious, but Jessica did not give in. She communicated over a course of a couple months with Nick and the team of teachers in order to coordinate a date for the presentation. As a result, Nick has met a fun new group people who truly care about expanding knowledge beyond the classroom for their students. Nick is very proud to know such a dedicated and driven Speech Language Pathologist! Thank you, Jessica, for being an Awesome Advocate! | 2019-04-20T11:01:04 | https://awesomeinaction.com/tag/disability/ |

Ankylosing spondylitis affects around 200,000 people in the UK, mostly starting before the age of 45. People with ankylosing spondylitis may have difficulty with everyday activities and with work. There is no cure, but there are some approaches to manage symptoms including medication, physiotherapy, exercise and sometimes surgery.
Although exercise has long been recommended for people with ankylosing spondylitis, few studies have properly tested how effective it is. Meanwhile, drug treatments have changed a lot in recent years, with new drugs that suppress the immune system (called anti-TNFs) being introduced. It is unclear whether these new therapies have altered the benefit of carrying out exercise.
This study looked at a range of exercise programmes, and also examined whether exercise had a lesser or greater benefit in studies that included people receiving anti-TNF drugs.
This systematic review identified eight randomised controlled trials evaluating exercise in 331 people with ankylosing spondylitis. All participants were diagnosed according to one of two sets of standard criteria (Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society or modified New York criteria) though disease duration and severity varied.
Interventions included home-based exercise, swimming and Pilates compared with usual care, education or physical therapy in one study. Programmes lasted from three to 12 weeks.
Studies provided data on two validated 10-point outcome scales: the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) for measuring symptoms, and the Functional Index (BASFI) to look at day-to-day activities. Four of the eight studies came from Turkey, two Norway, one Spain and one Italy. All took place after 2005. Studies were pooled in meta-analysis regardless of intervention type.
confidence interval [CI] -1.52 to -0.27) in a meta-analysis of all eight studies. This result is a weighted mean difference (WMD) which takes greater account of larger studies. There was considerable difference in results (heterogeneity) between individual studies.
eight studies for this outcome.
BASFI. Findings were similar across all four studies.
NICE produced recent guidelines (2017) on the management of spondyloarthritis, which includes ankylosing spondylitis and other inflammatory arthritis such as psoriatic arthritis.
NICE recommends that people with spondyloarthritis affecting the spine should be referred to a specialist physiotherapist to start an individualised, structured exercise programme. This should include deep breathing and aerobic exercise, stretching, strengthening and postural exercises, spinal extension and a range of motion exercises for the spine.
Exercise and stretching are also emphasised as a component of self-care during disease flare-ups.
The findings show that exercise yields measurable improvements in symptoms and physical function scores. The results broadly support the current NICE guidelines that exercise should be a core component of care in people with ankylosing spondylitis.
It would be nice to know more about how this exercise should be carried out – for example, at home or in a supervised group. By analysing all types of exercise programme together, it is not possible to tell if some types of exercise are more effective than others.

The full NIHR Signal and additional expert commentary was published on 21 November 2017.
Terminology for this condition is changing and ankylosing spondylitis is now being referred to as the broader axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA). Whatever we call it, it is still hard to spell – and harder to live with, often having a significant impact on daily activities.
It is fantastic that this review confirms the long-held beliefs about the benefits of exercise, both on functional outcomes and controlling the symptoms of AxSpA. Most people present with the condition in their 20s and, with a full life ahead and gainful employment to maintain, keeping fit and active are vitally important. The condition affects many joints of the body as well as the skin, eyes, bowel and connective tissue. As well as these, there are cardiovascular and osteoporosis risks. These body-wide effects can be hard to manage and have a debilitating impact.
For many, new drugs help. However, in regularly working with people with AxSpA, we see that exercise can vastly improve our patients’ outcomes and well-being. Once taught, exercise can be done with ongoing supervision and review, at home or in a pool. But research (Derakhshan et al 2018) shows that access to appropriately trained healthcare professionals and specialist services is patchy. Hydrotherapy pools are also often under threat. We need to ensure access across the UK. | 2019-04-21T18:31:25 | https://www.csp.org.uk/frontline/article/research-findings-exercise-ankylosing-spondylitis |

In 1912, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro and Greece conspired to attack the Ottoman Empire and divide its European territories; the Balkan League, as their loose alliance was known, came together through a series of secret meetings between the ambassadors, foreign ministers, prime ministers and monarchs of all four countries continuing into the late summer of 1912.
Bulgaria and Serbia signed a military convention on June 19, 1912, where both countries promised to provide at least 200,000 soldiers to attack the Ottoman Empire, and on July 2, 1912, they agreed on a plan of attack. Meanwhile Bulgaria and Greece had signed a treaty of alliance on May 16, 1912. And on September 16, 1912, one of the last pieces fell into place when the general staffs of Bulgaria and Montenegro agreed on the terms of a military convention.
Although Bulgaria was the ringleader of the Balkan League, their military convention gave Montenegro – a small, warlike kingdom – the opening role in the attack on the Ottoman Empire, for reasons of prestige as well as practical purposes. In the warrior tradition (the Balkan monarchs liked to imagine themselves as the heirs of medieval chivalry), it was considered an honor for King Nikola of Montenegro (pictured) to lead the attack against the hated Turks. Of course, the Bulgarians realized this might also help deflect any international disapproval on to Montenegro; while sympathetic to the Slavic kingdoms, Europe’s Great Powers weren’t keen to upset the regional balance of power, and volatile Montenegro (only a kingdom since 1910) could catch the blame for starting the war.
The military convention pledged Montenegro to immediate action: Montenegrin forces would attack the Ottoman Empire no later than September 28, and Bulgaria promised to join the attack within a month. Of course, in a manner of speaking war had already broken out, as the Albanian rebellion, which began in May 1912, triggered wider ethnic unrest in the Ottoman Empire’s European territories, with militias representing the various Balkan nationalities battling each other in Macedonia and Albania. But intervention by the Balkan League would constitute a huge escalation.
The Turks couldn’t fail to notice the Balkan League’s preparations for war, and on September 24, 1912, they put their beleaguered European forces, fresh from trying to suppress the Albanian rebellion, on alert against yet another impending attack. In the end the Montenegrins, eager for glory, beat the deadline by two days: on September 26, 1912, Montenegrin forces skirmished with Turkish troops in the Sanjak of Novibazar, the narrow strip of Ottoman territory separating Montenegro from Serbia (even managing to attack before the military convention with Bulgaria was formally signed on September 27, 1912 – but by this time events were moving so quickly no one cared much about formalities).
One crucial source of support for the Balkan adventure was lacking, however: as rumors of the impending attack spread, Russia, the main backer of the Slavic kingdoms among the European Great Powers, came under pressure from the other Great Powers to use its influence to avert war in the Balkans, by warning the members of the Balkan League that they would be on their own in a war with the Ottoman Empire. On September 16, 1912, foreign minister Sergei Sazonov also warned the Bulgarian General Stephen Paprikov that Russia would not back the Balkan League if the war with Turkey went badly. This was the first sign of growing Russian skepticism about the war, which could only grow when Bulgarian troops came close to seizing Constantinople – a prize Russia wanted for itself. | 2019-04-19T21:15:19 | http://www.worldsstrangest.com/mental-floss/world-war-i-centennial-montenegro-pledges-war/ |

Recently, several inquiries about the spinose ear tick have been received by our Parasitology section. Most have centered on horses and alpacas, and the most common question asked is how to get rid of these minute, annoying pests.
Otobius megnini is the only soft tick that commonly parasitizes domestic mammals in North America. Traditionally considered to be pests of livestock, particularly in the arid regions of the Western US, this parasite routinely pops up in other parts of the country in a wide variety of hosts including, on occasion, humans. Fortunately, unlike other ticks, O. megnini is not the primary vector of any pathogenic organism. However, they can cause considerable irritation and pain, secondary bacterial infections, destruction of the ear canal and tympanic membrane, and otitis interna. Death of cattle and severe muscle spasms in horses also have been reported, although these appear to be unusual manifestations of infestation.
The life cycle of O. megnini also is relatively unique among ticks. In general, soft ticks tend to be multiple-host ticks with all stages feeding on a different host. Adult females may produce multiple batches of eggs, ingesting a bloodmeal prior to the deposition of each clutch. In contrast, O. megnini is a one-host tick in which only the larvae and nymphs are parasitic. Larval ticks, which are about 0.5mm in size, hatch in three to eight weeks and climb anything vertical to await the passing of a potential host. They can survive in the environment for up to two months without feeding. When larvae encounter a suitable host they crawl to the ear and attach below the hair line. After feeding for about a week and growing to around 4mm, they molt to the first nymphal stage. There are two nymphal stages, each with a spiny cuticle from which the common name is derived. Second-stage nymphs reattach and feed for several weeks to months, growing to around 8mm. Engorged nymphs then leave the ear and drop to the ground where they hide in cracks, crevices, beneath rocks or under the bark of trees where they undergo the final molt to adults. Mating occurs in the environment. Adults do not feed, but adult females can survive for two years, depositing up to 1500 eggs in several clutches.
Control can be somewhat difficult and tends to focus on direct treatment of the infested animal. Acaricide treatment of pastures is generally impractical. In stables, kennels, and other housing situations, however, environmental treatment may be helpful. Eradication of protected sites also will go a long way towards helping to decrease tick populations. Animal ears should be regularly inspected and any ticks that are present should be manually removed. Manual removal is as for any other tick--grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible with fine forceps and extract using slow, steady pressure. Be cautious, though, as many animals resist manipulation of the ear particularly if it is sore as a result of the infestation. In these cases, as well as an adjunct to manual removal, a topical insecticide can be used. For cattle, insecticide-impregnated ear tags can help control infestations. For other animals, avermectins have been used but the introduction of phenylpyrazoles has essentially replaced the use of avermectin compounds.

I would say that I am Centerist Modern Orthodox. I only wear skirts, cover my knees, elbows, and collarbone. In terms of hair coverings, I wear a combination of sheitals/falls everyday (I have 3 that I rotate). I cover my hair with a tichel when I work out at the gym, but I still wear a skirt and long sleeves there (and I definitely feel like I stand out!) I have a modest personal style blog, which some may say is not very tzanua considering I post pictures of what I wear everyday, but my goal is to show that modest dress can be fashionable and doesn't have to be frumpy or unflattering. All the time people tell me that I give a 'tznius way of dressing' a better name because I do it with my own personal style and flair.
As I am a baalas teshuva, my mother does not conform to the tradition definition of 'tznius.' That being said, I don't think I have ever seen my mother in something overtly revealing. Even though my parents live in SW Florida, my mother doesn't wear shorts, she prefers capri pants. She does wear sleeveless and short sleeve shirts, but nothing tight and the sleeveless shirts only reveal a bit of her shoulder. She likes her clothes to fit well, but not be body-hugging. My mother instilled in me the virtue of covering up to attract the right type of attention. She told me that it was important to let people see my personality first and too much of my body. I went through a period in high school where I wore halter tops and tight jeans. I was never fully comfortable with myself when I dressed like that.
I am happily married, Baruch Hashem! My husband likes the way I dress and leaves all modest decisions up to me. Sometimes he jokes that it would be nice if I wore lower cut tops (not cleavage baring, just lower), but then I remind him that I cover up my body out of respect for him, and I know that that is important to him. We've talked about certain aspects of tznius together, but in the end it has been my choice.
On a typical day I wear a high neck undershirt, some sort of nice shirt or sweater, a skirt, a fun necklace (I am really into fun accessories), and a cute pair of shoes. On Shabbos I tend to wear much fancier clothes to enhance the kedusha of Shabbos. During the week, I wear my two falls (either my hat fall with a hat or scarf, or my full fall with a bit of bangs pulled out to look more natural) and on Shabbos I tend to wear my full sheital. I will admit that I dress up more that the normal person during the week. I feel better about myself when I feel confident about the way I look. On Shabbos I dress up more than usual. I wear heels, put on more makeup, wear my nicest clothes. I feel that dressing up more for Shabbos is a big part of lichvod haShabbos.
People definitely infer that I am an Orthodox Jew and that I am Shomer Mitzvos. However, I know that I stand out in certain settings because I am not afraid to wear bold colors and accessories. People ask me all the time on the streets of Manhattan where certain kosher restaurants are, where shuls are, which bus to take to certain Jewish neighborhoods/cities in NY and NJ, etc.
I know that I have surprise many people, men and women alike, because I stretch the parameters of traditional tznius. I want people to understand that being tznius doesn't mean that you have to dress in a burlap sack or wear all black. I want to show Jews and Non-Jews that tznius can be fun and fashionable and something that people want to do, rather than feel like it is a restrictive set of rules that they have to follow. I want to break boundaries and show everyone that you can have your own personal style and still be tznius!
I always wonder what their rationale is for dressing the way that they do. I try my best to be free of judgement, however, I will admit that I am human and therefore I know that judgement is inevitable. I am mostly curious about why people choose what they choose. For example, if a woman wears skirts all the time and short sleeves, I am curious why she does that (aside from being a bit jealous since I am always boiling in the summer months!!). Or if someone wears pants but covers their hair a certain way, I really want to know why. (Although I am aware that hair covering and tznius, while related, are very different mitzvos). It is mostly just a sense of curiousity and wanting to learn about other people's Jewish journeys and identities.
To me, tznius means being attractive but not attracting. Tznius means taking pride in yourself and your image enough to want to cover it up so that it is special, but also being aware that the point is not to make you feel ugly or subjugated. Tznius is a way to show off your personality to others so that they see you for you and not a pile of body parts or a huge potato sack. Its a way to highlight your best features in a demure way and feel good about yourself.
My journey has been a long and involved one. It took years for me to get comfortable with certain decisions and there were regressions along the way. My words of wisdom is take it one day at a time. If you are trying out skirts for the first time, don't go cold turkey or give yourself an ultimatum. If you want to wear pants the next day, wear pants. If not go another day in a skirt. Just take it slowly. If you go about it with the right frame of mind, it will stick and you will come to love your choices. If you approach it the wrong way, you will feel resentment and it will be given up sooner than you think. Go at your own personal speed and listen to yourself. Only you know whats right for you in your journey of being tznius. | 2019-04-20T14:31:39 | http://www.kvetchingeditor.com/2011/05/the-tzniut-project-7-being-attractive.html |

Her dad issues an ultimatum. Either spend nights next door, or accept another intruder in her life – Hercules, the world’s ugliest guard dog. It’s a no-brainer, even for dog-phobic Kat.
When she meets adorkable Al at the dog park, finally Kat has someone to talk to, someone who cares.
But the prowler isn't finished with Kat. To stop him, she needs Edwina's help . . . and what Kat learns could mend fences – or break her fragile family apart forever.

For designer shopping in Dubai, there’s no better place to head than the BurJuman Centre. One of Dubai’s most popular malls, BurJuman’s recent extension now offers shoppers a bigger range than ever. Good for clothes, which, in fashion-conscious Dubai, is a must, it is well worth browsing through the impressive line-up of boutique shops.
There is also a proliferation of designer names (including Calvin Klein, D&G, Diesel, Hermes, Polo Ralph Lauren and a huge Saks Fifth Avenue) jostling for space with the Mangos, Nexts and Zaras of this world. It really is designer shopping paradise.
The BurJuman Centre is well stocked with perfumes, cosmetics and jewellery. Children are well catered for, too, at Fun City and Fun World. A key sponsor of Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS), you’ll find plenty of offers here during the hotter months, and the mall is also a huge promoter of breast cancer awareness, pulling out all the stops and bedecking itself in pink ribbon every October to draw attention to the cause.
If designer shopping is close to you heart, Dubai’s BurJuman Centre should be first on your list. | 2019-04-26T04:44:13 | https://www.emirates.com/pl/english/destinations_offers/discoverdubai/dubaishopping/burjumancentre.aspx |
I truly don't know where the summer has gone. It seems like just yesterday it was April and we were planting the corn field around our house. Now, Big Sissy will start 2nd grade in a little over a week and the corn around our house is maturing faster than it should be due to the extremely hot weather we have been experiencing in addition to the lack of rain.
The Farmer predicts that our corn is about 2 weeks ahead of schedule which could mean an earlier than normal harvest which would not be a good thing. An earlier than normal harvest would mean that our corn has matured too early and the kernels did not get as big in size as they normally would.
Mother Nature has not been the best to us this year, but it isn't too late yet. Rain in the coming days would be greatly appreciated and would help the kernels gain weight; however, this is a critical time period. If we do not receive adequate rain in the next 2 weeks, it will be too late.
Rain after the next 2 weeks will more than likely not help the kernels gain weight and will essentially be a hinderance on the corn being able to be harvested from the field as we need it to be dry to run the combines in the field and the corn needs to be dry in order for us to store it on the farm.
So we are back to crossing our fingers and saying lots of prayers for Mother Nature to cooperate. I'll keep you posted in future Farmer Fridays on if she does or not.

The newest in a wave of releases from Camacho is now available. Camacho Blackout 2013 Limited Edition, a limited-production, vintage-dated line from the Oettinger Davidoff Group, is on shelves nationwide.
As with all Camacho products, Blackout is rolled in the company’s Honduran factory. The blend consists of a Honduran wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler of Honduran, Nicaraguan and Brazilian tobaccos. The company said that the wrapper leaf was grown in 2006, the binder in 2009 and the fillers are from a variety of years. Camacho states that the cigars were rolled several years ago, and aged for two years rather than the typical period of several months.
Camacho added that it took a different approach to fermenting the wrapper tobacco, using a process it calls “press fermentation.” This means that extra weight was added on top of the tobacco pilones as the wrapper underwent its fermentation process. According to Camacho, the increased pressure “intensifies the internal temperatures,” a step required for these darker, oily upper-priming leaves.
Blackout comes in five sizes: a 5 inch by 50 ring gauge Robusto; Figurado at 6 1/8 by 54; Toro at 6 by 50; a 6 by 60 Gordo, and a 7 by 48 Churchill. They range in retail price from $11.00 to $13.00, and all five sizes come in polished boxes of 20 cigars.
Only 1,000 boxes of each size were made for the Camacho Blackout project, amounting to a total production run of 100,000 cigars.

I still have the email. It is dated October 2000 and we were in our first year of church planting in Perth. The writer was aware of our earlier ministry at St Matthew’s Shenton Park in Perth and had just started up a ministry in Singapore called Project Timothy. He wondered if I’d be available to give some expositions for them at some stage in the future. While I’d never had a great interest in ministry in Asia or South East Asia, my wife Heather had always been interested in ministry to Asians and particularly Chinese. However, things began to change for me as God brought a steady stream of Chinese students to our church plant intended for Aussies and they were gradually converted as Heather met with them to do ESL classes using the Bible.
The October 2000 email bore fruit in a visit to Singapore two or three years later. When I quizzed my new-found friend on the needs in Singapore, he noted that there was a significant dearth of churches that had strong expository preaching ministries. Jokingly he quipped that what was really needed was a new Bible college to train a new generation of gospel workers. At the same conference, I also renewed acquaintances with a previous AFES student president who had taken a position at St Mary’s Anglican Cathedral in Kuala Lumpur and we resolved to do whatever we could to help these gospel friends. Visits to Singapore or Malaysia became almost annual and God was at work in other ways as well. I started doctoral studies and lecturing at Ridley. Heather started working with international students at RMIT. Our son married a Singaporean and we then moved to Holy Trinity Doncaster in 2010 (a church with a significant ministry among mainland Chinese people).
The crunch came with a phone call from my Singaporean friend. He told me that the idea we joked about earlier was beginning to look feasible. In response to the growing need a group of six like-minded pastors had gathered to form a board. They had a fledgling company and potential students. They wondered if I would come and be their first principal! After interviews, we accepted the position and we began the heartbreaking preparation to move from HTD. We arrived in Singapore in mid-2016 to join our Singaporean friends with their gospel-grounded dream. They thought they could raise enough money for a principal and two or three faculty and premises and I began the process in a new country of trying to get this done. We now have two full time faculty (in Old Testament and New Testament), a theology faculty member arriving in mid-2019, Mike Raiter from the Centre for Biblical Preaching for a month a year, and some part time, adjunct and voluntary lecturers.
Although board and faculty come from diverse denominational backgrounds we share a commitment to reformed evangelical distinctives such as those found in the confessional statement of The Gospel Coalition and the Australian version of the The Gospel Coalition Theological Vision for Ministry.
Too often there is a divide between training in theology and training for ministry, including preaching and other ministries of the word. At all levels we rigorously seek to bind the two disciplines together and to practise them together, particularly theological study and expository preaching.
Although based in Singapore, the goal of ETC Asia is to serve Asia as a whole. We are committed to mission, that is, seeing the gospel go out to all the cities, villages, and tribes of Asia.
Three other important goals are, first, to become more financially stable and continue to grow our student numbers (our first year consisted of nine full time students and five part time; this year there are about five full time and about five part time). Second, to transition to like-minded and adequately educated and trained Singaporean faculty before Heather and I finish the ten year commitment we’ve given. Thirdly, to form partnerships with like-minded gospel friends in Malaysia and South East Asia and see if we can help them train the next generation of theological college leaders. | 2019-04-24T08:11:47 | https://www.efac.org.au/index.php/2018/essentials-spring2018/a-new-college-in-singapore?tmpl=component&print=1&page= |

Parwanoo is a beauteous town that nestles in the beautiful district of Solan, Himachal Pradesh. Being a part of the erstwhile British empire, Parwanoo today is known as the 'Industrial City' of Himachal Pradesh. Numerous leading industries like Bata, Rupa, and other small industries have established their factories in Parwanoo.
Resting in the Shivalik range, the town of Parwanoo is an enchanting location. It spans an entire area of 2000 sq. km. Due to its location in the hilly region, its terrains are jagged and act as a perfect spot for hiking. Parwanoo's climate is tropical cool in nature. The median temperature of this alluring town scales between 5°C-16°C during winters and crosses 24°C during summers. An ample amount of rainfall is received during monsoons with an annual average of 3000 mm.
There are various places of interest located in Parwanoo. The eminent attractions like timber trail cable car, Kali Mata Temple, and the local markets that are a must-visit place. | 2019-04-25T06:44:18 | https://www.tourtravelworld.com/india/parwanoo/ |

Now that we have heard the first eight verses of the third chapter of Ecclesiastes, let’s now listen for the next seven verses as I read from The Message translation. Read Ecclesiastes 3:8-15.
This chapter is a wonderful poetic break in the middle of a book that’s often considered depressing. After all, Ecclesiastes begins by pointing out the vanity of everything, and it’s here we find such wisdom such a living dog is better than a dead lion.
This is not recommended reading if you needed a pick-me-up, but since the book has found itself as a part of both the Jewish and Christian Canons, we have to deal with it. What are we being told here?
Our Lenten series encourages us to slow down, take a deep breath, and reconnect to an unhurried God. How might this passage encourage us to make such connections?
Our reading today begins with a thesis statement: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” If there is a time for everything, maybe we shouldn’t be so concerned about trying to do everything at once. The author, assumed to be Solomon even though his name is not used, then provides us with fourteen pairs of opposites. We experience birth and death, planting and harvestings, and so forth. No values are given to either side. The couplet’s are like the Chinese Yin and Yang, both sides necessary for completeness.
Most of the opening couplets are self-explanatory, but not all. Verse five is traditional translated as a time to throw away stones and gathering stones together. We might wonder why gather stones if you are just going to toss them out. This appears to be related to ancient Israel’s laws around cleanliness and when a husband and wife might have sexual relations. You didn’t expect that, I’m sure. The Message, from which I read this morning, captures this in its translation: “A right time to make love and another to abstain.
Verse seven speaks of a time for tearing and time for mending. Again, what’s up with this? Why rip up clothes only to repair them? This probably refers to the ancient tradition of ripping one’s clothes during periods of mourning and then repairing them once the mourning period is over. There is a time for sadness, grief and mourning, and a time to get on with life.
This list reminds us that, like the seasons, there is a cycle to our lives. If Solomon had lived by the ocean, he might have added the tides. The cycles of life are all around us, but some are experienced more frequently than others. If we accept God’s sovereignty, there is no need for us to constantly be distraught over life’s ebbing and waning. We are freed to enjoy what we can while trusting and having faith that things won’t always be bad.
We can look at this list hoping we might understand life, but there is no wisdom to be discovered in such patterns. While it’s evident that the human experience is a part of each of these couplets, we realize that we have no control over when or how they’re experienced. That’s left up to God. The author of this book often reminds us that we live our lives in God’s domain and “under the sun.” If we think we can ultimately have control over everything, we’re going to be disappointed. We’re not God, as this passage reminds us.
While we don’t discover any secret patterns in the first eight verses, we are given keys to understanding how we should live our lives in such a random world in the second part of our reading. We make the best of it, and we enjoy what we’ve been given.
The author of Ecclesiastes, who lived long before Christ, doesn’t share the same hope we have—that one day we will live eternally with our Lord. But even without such assurance, he was wise enough to know God wants us to take pleasure in life.
In our series on our need to reconnect to an unhurried God, Ecclesiastes reminds us of two things: let God be God and enjoy what God provides.
We grow old and die in the same way we live our lives. That’s why this book is not about growing old gracefully. My life has been graced, but it certainly hasn’t been graceful—I’ve done more than my share of falling down, getting up, and falling down again. The falling down is due to missteps and gravity. The getting up is due to grace, mediated by people to whom I owe great debts of gratitude.
It’s all about grace, and accepting God’s grace should lead us to gratitude.
There are cycles to our lives. Some things change frequently and we experience them over and over. I find myself more and more constantly following the stars at night, knowing where favorite constellations are at for a particular time of the year. For me, this all began when surf fishing at night on Masonboro Island, where in the fall I watched Tarsus, the seven sisters, Orion and Canis Major with the bright dog star all rise over the ocean. We experience the cycles of the moon, the tides, and the seasons. Likewise, the church year is filled with cycles as we long for Jesus’ coming in Advent, celebrate his birth with Christmas, remember his suffering and death during Holy Week and celebrate his resurrection on Easter and every Sunday morning.
We live life within cycles, but we have little control over when they happen. Of course, some of our cycles in life are only experienced once. We are only a child once. Unless there’s a hiccup in our learning, we only finish the first and second and on to the twelfth grades once… We have a period of working and building a life, then a period of retirement and aging. It’s all a part of how God knit together this world. Instead of fighting against the changes of life, we should graciously accept what loving God provides and trust him to see us through.
We can’t control when the cycles of life happen, but we can control how we respond to them. Receive them as a gift, as grace. Amen.
The author is named as “Qoheleth” which is traditionally translated as “Preacher”, but is identified as the Son of David, king of Jerusalem (See Ecclesiastes 1:1). This fits Solomon, but David had other sons, too.
Robert Gordis, Koheleth: The Man and his World, a Study of Ecclesiastes (New York: Schocken Books, 1968), 230.
While there have been attempts to link the first eight verses with astrology, it has generally been treated as “far-fetched.” See Gordis, 229.
William P. Brown, Ecclesiastes: Interpretation, A Biblical Commentary for Teaching and Preaching (Louisville, KY: John Knox Press, 2000), 40, 42. As for patterns, see Robert Davidson, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon, (Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1982), 22.
The “under the sun” phrase is used 27 times between Ecclesiastes 1:3 and 9:11. In 4:7, it’s tied with the vanity of life.
Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God (New York: Dutton, 2011), 176. Keller is writing about marriage and not directly commenting on Ecclesiastes.

Grace and gratitude, and repeat. I like this sentiment.
A gracious and grateful week to you, Jeff.
I’ve always liked that verse from Ecclesiastes. There is a season for everything. A cycle of life. We have to try to appreciate whatever season we’re in, even if we’re facing tough times.
Living life accepting and being grateful for God’s grace seems like the best way to go.
Gratitude is important always, ah Jeff what difficult times we live in this world . | 2019-04-25T16:38:21 | http://skidawaypres.org/pastor/?p=2459 |

Do you get suspicious anytime you hear people raving about a new diet plan that makes losing weight easy? We don’t blame you.
In a world full of gimmicks and fads, there is one plan quickly rising to the forefront because it has the weight of scientific research behind it. It’s called intermittent fasting, and it is increasingly being praised as a plan that causes steady weight loss while also being easy to stick to.
We’re here to break it down for you, and we’re also going to investigate the claim that many people have found intermittent fasting to be the kickstart they need to break through a weight loss plateau.
Let’s start with a little background info.
First and foremost, intermittent fasting is NOT a starvation diet. It is, quite simply, an eating schedule that gives you a specific window of time (most commonly eight hours), during which you eat all your food for the day. You won’t be counting calories, preparing special shopping lists or spending hours on meal preparation.
The beauty of intermittent fasting is that there are a variety of highly customizable schedules that you can choose from. The most popular plan is called the 16:8, which just means that you eat all your food within an 8-hour window and you fast for the remaining 16 hours of the day.
In practice, this would translate to only eating between noon and 8:00pm, for example, or maybe 10:00am to 6:00pm. While this schedule is perfectly safe to do every day, some people choose to follow alternate-day intermittent fasting instead.
You could also opt to implement a 24-hour fast once a week. Gaining in popularity is something called the 5:2 plan. You choose two non-consecutive days of the week (say, for example, Monday and Thursday) and you limit yourself to 500-600 calories on those two days. You would eat normally the rest of the week.
All of these plans count as intermittent fasting! Want to read more about getting started? We have a helpful Beginner’s Guide for you here. And you can download an easy-to-follow schedule for each of these plans here.
The most important part of an intermittent fasting plan is that you allow at least 12-16 hours to pass without giving your body any food. It takes anywhere from 8-12 hours for your body to finish digesting, absorbing and metabolizing your glycogen stores.
So, it’s only about 8-12 hours after you stop eating for the day that your body even has a chance to start using your fat stores for fuel. The minute you feed your body more food, your body switches back to using those calories for fuel, and you are no longer burning fat.
The plethora of long-term health benefits provided by intermittent fasting have been well-documented (read more here), but the primary reason most people give it a try is for weight loss.
We’ve identified a few key reasons as to why it works so well for losing weight.
Considering that the mere word “fasting” can make us feel hungry, it’s a pleasant surprise for many intermittent fasting followers to discover that, after about 1-2 weeks, they no longer experience any hunger pangs during their fasting windows. And no, it’s not just a trick of the mind or extreme willpower. There’s a scientific reason why this happens.
The other cool thing that happens when you start intermittent fasting is that the levels of a hormone called “ghrelin” become far more normalized. Ghrelin is known as the hunger hormone. When it’s out of whack, that’s when you feel hungry all the time. After a couple weeks of intermittent fasting, your ghrelin levels become far more regulated, and that’s when your hunger pangs start to disappear.
Calorie restriction is also the main reason why most diets fail over the long-term. It goes against human nature and thus is incredibly difficult to sustain.
Intermittent fasting has earned high praise on account of the fact that it naturally leads to calorie restriction, without feeling like that’s what you’re doing. We like to call it “sneaky” calorie restriction. Here’s why: a typical intermittent fasting schedule (eating only between noon and 8:00pm) usually equates to skipping breakfast. Because it’s difficult to eat more than a certain number of calories per meal, cutting your day from 3 meals down to 2 can have a noticeable effect over time.
Most importantly, the intermittent fasting group found their diet much more manageable. (6) For most of us, it’s psychologically and biologically easier to restrict our eating to a certain time frame, as opposed to restricting our overall daily caloric intake.
Perhaps the biggest downside of many restricted calorie diets is that they have been proven to lead to loss of lean muscle mass, which actually slows down your metabolism. (7) This is really bad news for your ability to maintain any weight loss.
The good news? Research has shown that intermittent fasting actually helps you retain lean muscle mass while still losing weight. (8) Phew!
When you intermittent fast, you’ll be sticking to a smaller eating window than you’re probably used to. This will naturally cut down on late night snacking, which is often a hidden culprit of excess calories and sneaky weight gain. When you know that giving in to the munchies is just going to kick yourself out of fat-burning mode, it’s much easier to resist that late-night fridge raid!
Perhaps one of the most striking things about the intermittent fasting “craze” is that people are treating it less like a diet and more like a lifestyle. So many followers find themselves not only losing weight but feeling better and actually wanting to stick with this eating schedule. So intermittent fasting can quickly become a lifestyle change, as opposed to a crash diet.
Intermittent fasting for weight loss is rising to the forefront because of the scientific research behind it. A systematic review of 40 studies found that intermittent fasting was effective for weight loss, with a typical loss of 7-11 pounds over 10 weeks.

No capital city in the world feels quite like Berlin. Full of diversity and charm, the place has some special vibe that can hardly be explained.
It was long ago in the 13th century when name Berlin was first mentioned. Throughout the centuries, the city went through good and bad times, until 1871, when it became the capital of the German Empire. But then came the WWII and Berlin found itself under the siege. Many of the city’s most iconic monuments were destroyed, the highlight being the devastation of the infamous Berlin Wall.
But you know how hardworking Germans are?
An entire project was made to rebuild the city and in the shortest time possible, Berlin was alive again. Today, the city is the centre of country’s economic and cultural progress. Place, that offers an eclectic mix of new and classic architecture, dynamic entertainment, shopping, and a wide variety of sports and cultural institutions. A place so magical that will stay in your heart from the first time you step your foot on its streets.
So, wanna know what is there to see in this amazing city?
Here is Berlin bucket list of TOP 10 things you must not miss in the most alternative city in the world.
It might come surprisingly, but one of the biggest city green areas in Europe is located right here. On more than 32 square kilometres, you can find a lovely natural area of mixed oak, pine, birch, acacia, and poplar trees, that provides shelter for an abundance of wildlife including birds, deer, and even wild pigs.
Some of the most amazing highlights of the place include more than eight lakes as well as a nine-kilometre stretch of riverbank that offers numerous opportunities for water sports and bathing.
What is cool to know is that place is easily accessible via S-Bahn and it is the perfect picnic destination for the locals. Just pack some food and head down here with friends for a day of tranquil respite from the bustle of the city.
Nothing can relax you like nature does.
Special tip: Look out for Teufelsberg, a man-made hill rising above the woodland, constructed by the Allies after World War II from the city’s rubble. Although there’s no general access to the hill, you can get to the top of the hill by going on a guided tour: English tours start at 1.30pm on Sundays (booking essential).
We have all seen this image, right?
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, many of the artists immortalized themselves on the wall with a unique art piece, never seen before, making the East Side Gallery, the longest open-air gallery in the world. The famous kiss of Erich Honecker and Leonid Brezhnev, as well as more than 100 other artworks, can be seen alongside one kilometre long, still intact original section of the Berlin Wall!
Special tip: Please DON’T destroy the East Side Gallery with your own paintings or by chipping off some little pieces of the wall. Respect the culture.
One of Germany’s most visited landmarks, Brandenburg gate is a place you just cannot afford to miss in Berlin. The place was officially opened to traffic on December 22, 1989, when more than 100,000 people came to celebrate the event.
But, during its more than 300-year rich history, the place has been a part some of the most important events in the entire country. It was a symbol of peace. Symbol of war. Symbol of victory. And even terror!
And it is here on June 12, that Ronald Reagan said his famous words: “Mr Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall”. The speech delivered to West Berliners was also audible on the east side of the Gate and echoed President von Weizsacker’s words which translate as: “The German question is open as long as the Brandenburg Gate is closed”.
Special Tip: To enjoy this place at maximum, come by night! There will be fewer people and you will get a chance for a perfect selfie in front of illuminated Brandenburger Tor. Just like you can do it in Vienna.
Between the River Spree and the Kupfergraben, lies Museum Island, one of the coolest parts of the city. If you are looking to embrace some culture and see some creative art, don’t look any further.
Many of the city’s oldest and most important museums are located right here, including the Old Museum, New Museum, National Gallery, Bode Museum, as well as the Old National Gallery with its fine collections of 19th-century paintings.
What is amazing is that the entire island is completely traffic free!
Special Tip: If you’re only able to see one or two museums due to time restrictions, make sure one of them is the Pergamon with its spectacular reconstructed historic buildings from the Middle East.
Berlin is definitely one of most alternative cities in Europe and during the years, the place has created its own art scene, rarely visible anywhere else in the world. To get the feeling of a true spirit of the city, come here and you will see why so many people fall in love with Berlin.
Gemäldegalerie, is a must see place here, containing a collection of English, Spanish and Italian Renaissance works, among which the highlights are paintings by Dutch and Flemish masters Frans Hals and Rembrandt.
Special Tip: A great time for a visit is during the Long Night of the Museums, where for just €12 you can go on an after-hours museum crawl till 2 am.
Olympic games are one of the biggest events on the planet. There is no doubt about it. People from all around the world come to enjoy one of a kind event that happens once every four years. So in 1936, Berlin got a privilege to host the event and as a witness of those games remains the Olympic Stadium.
The games in 1936 were intended to showcase the power of Aryan race. However, the stadium was the spot where black American athlete Jesse Owens won four gold medals, emphatically disproving Hitler’s ideas about racial superiority in front of the world’s media.
The original design of the stadium survived World War II bombs and demolition threats, before undergoing a major refit for the 2006 World Cup.
Special Tip: Visit the place early in the morning when there are almost no people here.
When you get hungry in Berlin, make sure you try Currywurst, hot sausage cut in slices with ketchup and curry powder.
The story says that the original Currywurst recipe was invented back in 1949 by a woman named Herta Heuwer. At the time, 36-year-old Herta probably never thought that her recipe will one day become Germany’s most popular fast food when she opened a small food kiosk in West Berlin. If she was alive today, she would be definitely proud to know that a plaque was dedicated to her on the corner where she had her small kiosk.
So, you want to know where will you find the best Currywurst in all Berlin?
Our tip is Konnopke’s in Prenzlauer Berg.
Special tip: If you’re not into fast food go to the Currywurst Museum to feed your culture hunger!
You might not know it by this name, but Checkpoint Charlie was the best-known border crossing point between East and West Berlin. Today, it is a symbol of the Cold War. Place where many citizens escaped from East Berlin and where hope for a better future was created.
After the erection of the Berlin Wall in 1961 this was the place where the famous standoff between US and Soviet tanks happened. Right beside in the “Mauermuseum (Haus am Checkpoint Charlie)” you can see some of the most spectacular escape vehicles such as the one-man submarine and some other exhibits that document the time during the division.
Special tip: Checkpoint Charlie is frequently featured in spy movies and books. New Tom Hanks movie “Bridge of Spies“ has many cool scenes shot here.
Another landmark that sums up the drama of the 20th century in Berlin. This Neo-Baroque building was made in 1894, by Paul Wallot and modelled after the Memorial Hall in Philadelphia. The place served as the home of the German parliament until 1933 when the building was badly damaged in a fire.
It was this exact event that marked the end of the Weimar Republic and provided a convenient pretext for Hitler to suppress dissent. Under Nazi dictatorship, the building fell into neglect and was severely damaged during the Second World War. In 1945 it became one of the primary targets for the Red Army due to its perceived propaganda value.
Then, after the war, West Germany’s parliament was relocated to Bonn and the building remains a virtual ruin until 1961 when a partial renovation was undertaken in the shadow of the newly erected Wall. Completed in 1964 this controversial restoration saw the building’s interior and exterior stripped of the majority of its statuary. However, the city made efforts to retain the traces of its more recent history such as the bullet-ridden façade and the graffiti left by the occupying Soviet soldiers.
What happened in later years, we will keep as a secret. We can’t tell you everything about the place. Some things are better to discover on your own.
Special tip: Whether you visit Reichstag during the day or in the evening, be sure to plan ahead. You can no longer just show up and stand in line with crowds of people. For security reasons, all visitors must now go online and make a reservation for a specific date and time.
For a family outing or a date to the sound of exotic bird cries, visit the Zoologischer Garten & Aquarium in the Tiergarten. Being one of the most popular zoos in Europe and the oldest one zoo in Germany, Berlin Zoo was opened in 1841 on the site of the King Frederick William IV’s pheasantry.
The entire place is situated in beautifully landscaped gardens with plenty of spots for a picnicking and contains almost 14,000 creatures, among which are some very rare and endangered species.
Special tip: On a rainy afternoon, visit the aquarium, where you’ll find extraordinary sharks, crocodiles, insects and amphibians. The dark corridors and liquid ambience, with colourful illuminated tanks and curious fishes floating by, are as absorbing as an art exhibit.
Aaaaaand that was it guys.

Nong Paween is 14, she is originally from Chiang Mai. Her mum is Burmese and her dad belongs to the Liso hill tribe, unfortunately they separated when she was 5 years old and was given in custody to her dad. Paweena does not have any identity card nor is recognized a citizen by Thailand. Not being able to afford any other school, or to provide Paweena with food and shelf, her dad sent Paweena and her brother were to the Buddha Kasetra school since they were 6 years old. She is now in grade 7.

All the teachers of the Buddha Kasettra School are highly dedicated and committed persons, with the happiness and education of their children at the centre of their attention! It's a pleasure to help them making a better work for these kids!
Graduated from Faculty of Education, Chiang Mai University, Mrs Anchalee (Khun Anchalee in Thai) joined the Buddha Kasetra School 22 years ago, first as a volunteer teacher, and eventually, as school director. She is dedicating all her life to the school and kids, and saw the institute and the kids growing bigger. When it opened, the school only had 20 kids, not much land and therefore no possibility of growing food. They moved a long way until now. Khun Anchalee continues to proactively look for the funds needed to carry on her important work. She believes that every kid in this world deserves to get an education and she is helping them never giving up.
Khun Wanlop joined the school 20 year ago as a science teacher. He is still happily dedicating his time to these kids, and in addition to taking care of the school and the kids activities he is also in charge of the organic garden project. Very recently he also became the principal of the school. | 2019-04-20T14:27:27 | http://chuaydekit.weebly.com/conosci-i-bambini--i-maestri.html |

It took me longer than it should have to join Usborne Books and More as a consultant. I have to confess, and most people who know me already know this, I love to read. I’ve always loved to read. I was that kid who had more books in my suitcase when we went on trips than anything else. I’m still like that, I’d rather bring two extra books than run out of books to read, the horror!
I had been in direct sales before with a jewelry company that no longer does direct sales, but I did it on a whim and wasn’t passionate about the product. Don’t get me wrong, the jewelry is beautiful and I still wear it, but it didn’t come naturally to me. I also started traveling for work shortly after I had signed up to be a consultant and just couldn’t make the time for both. I used my discount for a while and then let my time run out.
Fast forward a few years and my life had changed a bit, a husband and two kids were added to the picture and then I was invited to a few Usborne parties. Wow, right up my alley, I was a perfect customer. I bought some books and we really enjoyed them! A few of our first books were Baby’s Very First Noisy Nursery Rhymes and Baby’s Very First Slide and See Under the Sea. We now have every Slide and See book available, and our Nursery Rhymes book is falling apart. I’m about to replace it for 50% of the cost, something which you can always do with Usborne books!
I attended a party in December 2016 and I won the prize in a party of a free book and was told I could get a free book OR….get $20 additional free books if I hosted a party. Um, hello, $20 more in free books? That is music to a book addicts ears. So, of course, I took her up on that. My party was successful, I got a LOT of free and half priced books, it was fantastic. But my consultant NEVER ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO JOIN! She gave me some information after the party because I asked a lot of questions, but never followed up.
I did some research and finally decided I would join to get the discount and to see how successful I could be with it. As a present to myself, I purchased the kit the night of my birthday. I went with the larger kit because of course, it came with more books!
Fast forward 9 months and I have made some wonderful friendships, some through my team and some just throughout Usborne! I’ve made some extra money to help our family. I’ve bought a lot of new books at a great discount, some for my kids and some for gifts. I’ve also learned so much about business, leadership, social media, and what I am capable of.
Would you like to join Usborne as a consultant and discover what YOU are capable of? Contact me, or join my team here.
I’d love to keep in touch, come join my Usborne VIP group here, or follow my business page here! | 2019-04-25T17:55:43 | https://booksandsassylilacs.com/join-usborne-books/ |
The kids can get hands-on with this cinnamon-scented dessert recipe. Let them blend the crumble topping with their fingers until the mixture reaches the right consistency.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In shallow 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish, toss plums with lemon juice. In cup, mix cornstarch and 1/3 cup sugar; toss with plums until evenly coated.
In medium bowl, mix remaining 1/3 cup sugar with oats, flour, and cinnamon. With fingertips, blend in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle oat topping over plum mixture.
Bake crumble 25 to 30 minutes or until plums are tender and topping is lightly browned. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes to serve warm, or cool completely to serve later. Reheat if desired. | 2019-04-21T14:59:10 | https://www.countryliving.com/food-drinks/recipes/a14217/easy-plum-crumble/ |

When a person grows up in the Texas panhandle devoid of large trees and lush greenery, but long on open spaces and big skies, one quickly develops an appreciation for a variety of terrain and landscape. With the cultured eye of an artist, detail, line, color, and variety become all encompassing in Robert Dale Thomas' paintings. His versatility appears in the big sky sunsets of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico, the unmistakable portrayal of the Franklin Mountains of El Paso, and the lush woodlands of east Texas.
"The value of art for the patron lies in the finished work; for the artist, the value lies in the process of creating the artwork. My sincere aspiration with each piece is that it will elicit a response from the viewer: a taste, a smell, a memory off a moment of contentment and peace. My goal is to create the essence of a scene rather than a recreation of it," Thomas states. Indeed, Thomas' work consistently achieves that state of serenity for the viewer regardless of subject matter.
Born in 1950, he began painting at age thirteen. Thomas studied art and earned both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Art degree from West Texas State University, where he subsequently taught. He has been teaching and painting full time since 1987. Robert and his wife, Mary, now make their home in Dallas, Texas. He is a member of the Academy of Arts, and the Texas Fine Art Association. Thomas' work is currently displayed in fine galleries in Amarillo and Dallas, as well as in Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico. | 2019-04-21T15:01:00 | http://theartistsshowplace.com/robert-dale-thomas |
فضل المساجد الثّلاثة comes within the series of the religious books offered by Dar Al Manhal entitled الحديث النبوي .Most of the Hadiths in the series of الحديث النبوي were from Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim as they are the nations' unanimous agreement, advance and succeed, that they are the most two true books after the Holey Quran, and they were adopted in the commentary on Hadiths, and on famous explanations in the two true books, and other explanations in the Prophetic Hadiths.
The books of الحديث النبوي series include nine hundred noble Hadiths in the doctrine, worships, morals, ethics and other inclusive topics, like the superiority of the scholars, heaven and hell, dress and adornment, the status of women in Islam, and more. Then topics are concluded with the merits of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. | 2019-04-21T06:28:25 | https://www.manhal.com/en/books/233/%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AB-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D8%A8%D9%88%D9%8A-%D9%81%D8%B6%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%A7%D8%AC%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AB |

I Like Working With My Team. We Scale.
Not all projects work according to plan. Every year, my team has several wins and a few losses. The losses, generally, are small and valuable in their learning potential; the wins tend to help the organization pivot just a tiny bit, towards the future.
I am very grateful for the people I work with, and gapingvoid has a good ingredients list for teamwork that covers off a lot of what they bring to the table.
We have a small team that embraces scaling as a core service and attribute. And, give or take, this is close to how we operate. | 2019-04-26T11:02:36 | https://thismuchweknow.net/2014/07/24/i-like-working-with-my-team-we-scale/ |
Welcome back to the Hello World in Every Language series. Once again, I get to chat about a code snippet that was shared by someone in the community, Arun Pattni. Thanks to them, we’re able to tackle Hello World in Google Apps Script, a scripting language that first appeared in 2009.
Overall, Google Apps Script appears to be a great tool for anyone looking to write add-ons for G Suite applications. Otherwise, you’ll probably never use it.
Unlike many languages, Google Apps Script code doesn’t need a main function. In fact, all we have to do is define a function. Google handles what we want to do with the script at runtime.
Inside the code block, we have our typical print call. In this case, we leverage the Logger to do our printing. Then we pass our “Hello, World!” string to the log function, and call it a day.
If we want to run Hello World in Google Apps Script, we actually have to write our scripts using the Apps Script tool. From there, Google has some nice documentation for running them.
Alternatively, we can write scripts locally and upload them to Google Drive. At that point, we can connect the Google Apps Script tool to run our scripts. The link above has directions for that option as well.
If you know of other ways to run Google Apps Script code, let me know in the comments.
And, that’s it for Hello World in Google Apps Script. If you want to contribute to this language, consider forking the Sample Programs repository.
As always, thanks for stopping by and a special thanks to Arun Pattni for their contribution to the series. Every little bit helps!
While I have you here, consider sharing this article. I’m sure your friends will enjoy the series, and they might even want to contribute. | 2019-04-22T16:29:55 | https://therenegadecoder.com/code/hello-world-in-google-apps-script/ |
The beautiful fabric from second-hand saris fills the open markets in Kathmandu. The Red Sari gives this vintage silk cloth new meaning, turning it into felted sari scarves. It’s a stunning combination of design and texture, with colorful merino wool circles felted onto the fabric. The Red Sari was founded by Julie West after she traveled to Nepal. She empowers local women with fair wage work, using their artisan skills to repurpose saris into one-of-a-kind accessories. The company reinvests profits into hiring (and thereby helping) more and more women. Whether you give one of these meaningful scarves as a gift or wear it yourself, it’s a lovely way to support a better way of life.
Hi! We are a socially responsible fashion design company with a mission to create and sustain jobs for women in Nepal. Our signature product, the felted vintage sari scarf, is a result of our collaboration with a woman’s felting group in the Kathmandu Valley. Let me know if you have questions about these one-of-a-kind works of art.
I was wondering if any information comes along with the order about what is made from and how it supports fair wage work for local women?? I was thinking of purchasing as a gift and would like the reciepient to know the background.
@heidi In addition to the beautiful tag and story that comes with Red Sari the packing slip we send to you (or to the gift recipient if you ship straight to them) includes a link that refers them back to the video story so they can see the richness of the Red Sari story in words, photos and video. It makes your gift go full circle in a lovely way.
Just curious where the wool comes from and what kind of wool is it? (Merino?) Thanks!
@Therese thanks foe checking in. It is indeed soft Merino wool from New Zealand. Hand dyed in Kathmandu, Nepal. The yak wool from Nepal is too coarse for scarf making! | 2019-04-26T09:52:23 | https://www.thegrommet.com/the-red-sari |
And under this costume is, of course, the corset.
We survived the festivities at Old World Wisconsin in 104 degree heat! I wore a very special costume that had only been worn once before. It was silk and “tropical weight” wool with beautiful accents of military buttons and lapels and florets.
My first thought on this subject is of Linus Van Pelt, the wise but neurotic younger brother of Lucy the fuss-budget in the Peanuts cartoons. His blanket is rarely out of reach. He is aware of his dependence on it and unapologetic and creative in his relationship with it. He seems to be coping better than most adults. Aren’t we all neurotic in some way?
Now that I’m fifty-something, I’ve gotten to know my insecurities pretty well, mostly through the loss of things I relied on. I no longer depend on my husband for security, since he died 9 years ago. My kids all moved out of the nest and I sold the big, suburban house. Shortly after that, I stopped practicing belief in Christianity (and I had a serious practice). As all of these big pieces began to fall away, I began to realize that security was not about them, but about how I think about myself in the world.
You see, either I belong here, or I don’t.
If I don’t belong here, all of those things won’t help. If I do belong here, all of those things are unnecessary. I finally began to see that I am part of this natural world. I fit in it, just the way I am. And even when I die, all the bits of me will be reabsorbed into the earth and fit in just as well that way.
It’s pretty simple, really, but I have to say that I still get anxious and neurotic sometimes. The one who shows me what being secure in the world looks like is my partner Steve. We camped in the Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. By the time we got to the place, he was pretty tired from driving. So he just lay down and fell asleep. No tent. No bug spray. No gear. | 2019-04-21T11:06:45 | https://scillagrace.com/category/philosophy/ |
In what was the first of the ‘Hannibal Presents…’ series, we struck up a wonderful collaboration with local charity, Wandsworth Oasis last month and together, put on an evening of wine tasting, food and musical entertainment, raising £1,500 for the charity. The top prize in the raffle was a magnum of personalised wine – this had been specially designed for this event!
Among the 100 attendees from across south west London and Surrey, we popped bottles for local business owners, residents and general wine fanatics, making for a relaxed networking opportunity as well as a great social event.
Those in the ‘know’ will have heard of the Oasis – a highly respected local charity, doing great work and supporting folk living their day to day lives with HIV. Their charity shops need to be visited to be believed – we chose their flagship ‘superstore’ in Tooting as the somewhat unusual venue for our latest event. Believe me, if you haven’t visited it, you must – it’s the biggest and best charity shop I have ever visited, packed to the rafters with all sorts of temptations at ludicrously great value. One of our guests walked away with 3m x 3m framed image of the New York skyline for a mere £20!
We chose 25 of our more unusual wines to fit the theme of ‘Old Curiosity’. The evening’s top choice was a relatively new wine to our portfolio. Parpinello’s delicious Vermentino from Sardinia was closely followed by Chateau Ksara ‘Prieure’ – which is a classic red that comes from this ancient Lebanese winery. Our guests embraced the ‘unusual’ theme and we were delighted! It seems that, by all accounts, a great evening was had by all. Our good friend Mark Ferguson also joined us – representing the award-winning Exton Wine Estate.
Oh, Wandsworth’s very own Mayor was also in attendance! We were thrilled to have her there and the coverage we received in the local Guardian was the cherry on top of a fabulous cake! | 2019-04-24T12:49:45 | https://personalisedwinedesign.co.uk/category/news/ |

Changes to technology are affecting the way students learn to meet employment demands.
The pace technology is changing affects the way we work, live and study. Universities are recognising that while traditional degrees are an established path toward a professional career, graduate skills are not always meeting the expectations of the work place.

Sunday is a service by the Danish Bank to help people find the perfect home that fits their economy.
To introduce future homeowners to the service, we were asked to produce animations to support and visualize the steps that they will have to take to get going with Sunday. Especially with an onboarding that comes with some requirements, we aimed at preparing the user to have specific information ready before the signup process starts.
Below we have compiled the different animations we produced in the order of the onboarding process along with the accompanying text.
It's super easy and nonbinding to set up a profile – no matter what bank you're at.
The first step is to get an overview over your economy as it si right here and now. We'll help you with that.
If you have any plans like buying a new car in the near future, write that down as well. This way you'll get the best overview over you economy possible.
If you'd like to talk to an advisor about your opportunities, she'll need access to your information in Sunday including you tax information. NemID ensures your data is safe and secure.
NemID is a two-factor authentication system used by every danish citizen.
In order for the advisor to get the most accurate picture of your possibilities, you'll need to give them access to your retirement information. If you're saving with Danske Bank or Danica, you can do this via online-banking. Otherwise you can collect the info from your bank and send it to your advisor.
Now that you have an overview over your economy, you can start with the search for houses and apartments that match your dreams as well as your economy. | 2019-04-19T00:38:08 | https://ccccccc.tv/work/sunday |

GOOGLE'S new robots BigDog and Wildcat are agile on rough terrain and run faster than humans. Watch them in action.
THEY run faster than people and are agile over rough surfaces and terrains that are challenging for most human beings.
Wildcat is the latest mobile robot acquired by Google to join BigDog, Cheetah and Atlas.
The internet giant has bought the machines in an acquisition of US company, Boston Dynamics, which has designed mobile research robots for the Pentagon.
Boston Dynamics has created machines which walk and stay upright over difficult terrain and run fast like big cats.
Why Google is buying up the machines is unstated, but it's thought the company may be working on systems to replace warehouse workers or carry out home care.
A video of BigDog shows a noisy, gas-powered, four-legged, walking robot that climbs hills, travels through snow, skitters precariously on ice and even manages to stay upright in response to a well-placed human kick. | 2019-04-26T11:53:56 | https://www.news.com.au/technology/gadgets/google-buys-new-robots-which-run-faster-than-humans-meet-wildcat/news-story/f1fae05fe2cdb5af395154f197cd87ff |

The Bible has been there since the beginning.
When Apple’s App Store first launched in 2008, iPhone users could choose from 500 options. Today, that number has ballooned to more than 2 million. But one constant over the last 10 years has been YouVersion’s Bible App.
One of the 200 free apps available on July 10, 2008, the Bible App has experienced exponential growth in the decade since.
In the first three days after its launch in 2008, the Bible App was installed 83,000 times. By 2010, it reached 10 million installs. In 2010, it climbed to 50 million. And it doubled to 100 million the very next year.
After the App Store opened, other Bible apps and Bible study tools have become available for your smartphone, but YouVersion’s has remained the most prominent.
Today, YouVersion says the Bible App has been installed on more than 300 million unique devices. In addition to the Apple iPhone, YouVersion’s app is also available today for Android phones, BlackBerries, and Windows phones, as well as Amazon Kindles and Echoes.
“We never could have predicted the results we’ve seen as millions of people around the world have read, listened to, shared, and interacted with the Bible and each other in new ways,” says Bobby Gruenewald, YouVersion founder and pastor at Life.Church.
In the last decade, according to YouVersion, Bible App users have read 70 billion and listened to 12 billion chapters of the Bible; made 4 billion highlights, bookmarks and notes; shared more than 950 million verses to social media; and completed 2.4 billion days of Bible reading plans.
When it launched, the app had 15 versions of the Bible and two languages. Today, after partnerships with publishers and Bible societies, Scripture is available in more than 1,700 different versions and more than 1,200 languages.

York, PA - Several months ago, police say, Cheryl A. Laing, 45, and Jessica Gullickson, 24, both of Broomall in Delaware County, were working overtime at a dentist's office on Old Lancaster Avenue in Bryn Mawr, Montgomery County.
HARRISBURG, Pa. AP 8212 Pennsylvania is sitting directly in the path of a major weather system that could dump significant rain, bring hail and high winds, and cause flooding.Officials are monitoring the coming storm, Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency spokesman Cory Angell said late Wednesday afternoon.
In one of the letters read to the jury, Diana wrote: "Dearest Pa, I was particularly touched by your most recent letter which proved to me, if I didn't already know it, that you really do care."
No, not a good time for the PA system,Romney said as he waved, unaware who was speaking. | 2019-04-25T22:35:38 | https://www.beedictionary.com/definition/pa |

The Business Youth League (YBL) has vowed to help the youth in their strive for economic independence. The organisation which is affiliated to the Zimbabwe Youth Council made promises to the youths in Zimbabwe that they will help them in creating projects as well as resuscitating all white-owned mines for their benefit.
Addressing the youths in Bubi, Matebeleland North Province on Monday, McNorman Chitongo, YBL Secretary General said their organisation was willing to help all the jobless youths in the war of economic development.
“This is the struggle for economic independence and what is right should be done for the benefit of our economy. Our parents fought in the liberation struggle for the freedom we have today. It is now our time as the youths to fight the economic war so as to gain the economic independence and look after our parents,” Chitotngo said.
Shepherd Tundiya, YBL chairman said the organization is working closely with the government to make sure that the Durban Mine will re-operate again so that the youths will have their projects again.
“We promise to make the mine work again and all stakeholders including the Fidelity bank and the police should be included so that we will build clinics, roads and schools for our kids.
“We will introduce some projects such as carpentry and poultry so that everyone will be occupied with something as it is the right time for the youth,” Tundiya said.
Onnias Shanyura, acting mine manager explained that the Durban Mine owned by a white man called John Muir was closed towards the end of 2015. It used to employ more than 250 people but it was unceremoniously closed without the workers getting their allowances.
Shanyura said it was improper for the mine to be closed because they know that it is rich in gold and the produce will help change their community.
“The gold mine used to produce 18-23 kilogrammes of gold per month. If you help use reopen it we will all survive from that mine as both the government and the Bubi community”, Shanyura said.
Shanyura added that the community needs schools and clinics as the youths in the community are school drop outs because they walk long distances to get to the few available schools.
Francis Nyathi the Bubi village 6 head said the closure of Durban Mine was a great loss to his people as they used to survive on it.
He said his people were now surviving on illegal mining and appealed to YBL to help in the reopening of Durban Mine. | 2019-04-24T08:35:46 | https://spiked.co.zw/youths-strive-for-economic-independence/ |

Located in the northeastern sector of what was Soviet Central Asia, the borders of Kyrgyzstan (formerly the Kirgizian Soviet Socialist Republic) touch Kazakhstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the west, Tajikistan to the south, and the People's Republic of China to the east. Its size, just under 200,000 sq. km. (76,880 sq. mi.), makes it one of the smaller republics in the area but equal nevertheless to the territory of Portugal, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Switzerland combined. Kyrgyzstan declared independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991. The Kirgizian republic had a population of 4,000,000 people in 1987. Kyrgyzstan had a population of 5,146,281 people in 2005. Its capital city is Bishkek.
The major ethnic group is Kirgizian; the major religion is Islam. Besides other Central Asian ethnic groups, the population includes sizable numbers of Russians, Ukrainians, and Germans. Most of the Germans appeared in this region during and after World War II, when the Soviet government undertook to resettle all Germans then living in the European part of the country.
The warm climate and better living conditions brought Mennonites to this region after Mennonites and ethnic Germans confined to labor camps farther north were released beginning in 1955 and 1956 (Spetskomandantura). Among the leaders at that time were Ältester (elders) Heinrich Voth and Peter Heese of Tokmak, not far from Bishkek. Heese and Hans Penner traveled to Moscow ca. 1966 with registration requests from a number of Kirchliche Mennonite congregations around Alma Ata and Frunze (Bishkek). Voth served as Ältester for all Kirchliche Mennonites in the Soviet Union until his death in 1973. He was succeeded for a time by the aging Ältester Johann Penner. A vital role was also played by Ältester Hans Penner of Frunze, who translated the Mennonite confession of faith into Russian.
In 1987 there were four active Kirchliche congregations in several outlying villages and towns not far from Frunze (Bishkek). There was also one Mennonite Brethren congregation in Novopavlovka, a suburb of the capital. The latter, a group of about 150 persons, was served by Ältester Martin Balzer. It was registered as an autonomous congregation in 1977.
The groups at Romanovka and Krasnaja Rechka, with about 140 and 165 members respectively, were registered in 1967. They were led by Ältester Abram Abrams and Peter Braun. The largest of these groups, at Tokmak, had about 200 members under the leadership of Ältester Johann Schellenberg. A small, 20-member congregation, still unregistered, also met regularly near the railway town of Ivanovka.
The Mennonites of this region, like those elsewhere in Central Asia, continued to stress their German identity. This meant that Low German was fostered as a language in the homes, even though Russian and other local languages were spoken everywhere else. High German was the language of the congregation in worship although some singing in Russian was included occasionally, and special services, e.g., funerals, might include Russian sermons. Young people often spoke Russian best and preferred its use in the services of the church.
Many Mennonites in the Kyrgyzstan have found their way into other congregations, mostly Baptist congregations, but sometimes Lutheran ones. Quite a few belong to unregistered groups of one kind or another. The emigration of the 1970s and of the late 1980s (Umsiedler) affected these communities significantly. Here too, many church members immigrated to Germany, including a number of ministers and other church leaders who were active in their home congregations at Tokmak or elsewhere.
Tourists have found it possible to visit in these congregations, although they were closed to outsiders before. People from these areas do visit relatives in the West and it is possible for Soviet emigrants, now living in the West to stay with their relatives in Kyrgyzstan for weeks and sometimes several months at a time. Frunze (Bishkek), like Alma Ata (now known as Almaty) and other capitals of republics, is highlighted on routes for tourists and various kinds of delegations.
