Language is the dress of thought; every time you talk your mind is on parade.
He dies-alas! how soon he dies!
Enlarge my life with multitude of days, In health, in sickness, thus the suppliant prays; Hides from himself his state, and shuns to know, That life protracted is protracted woe. Time hovers o'er, impatient to destroy, And shuts up all the passages of joy. | 2019-04-20T06:14:56 | https://www.azquotes.com/author/7532-Samuel_Johnson/tag/time |
I abandoned this audio book after about 3 hours. It just felt so irrelevant. I couldn’t find a common theme and nothing was really moving forward. Too slow and TOO many characters. I lost track of half of them immediately, because they weren’t interesting enough. I remember Corban and his sister, but that’s it. If you can’t make me invested in your characters, I have no reason to stick with a story. I couldn’t tell you anything about them right now, apart from Corban, who is pretty angsty and doesn’t like fighting and his sister, who is the rebellious one.
All in all, the characters acted a little too ‘young’ for me as well. This felt more like YA and I am not looking for any of that in my books at the moment.
There’s 20 more hours and I don’t want to deal with them, if nothing sticks. This book needed to be less introduction and more action, and maybe don’t introduce so many characters at once. Or at least let them do some interesting stuff apart from riding around.
I also didn’t like the narrator and his accent. And how he read certain characters, especially that one friend of Corban.
Excellent, a negative review of this book. I’ve got it on tap and have seen nothing but glowing reviews, so this helps temper my thoughts a bit.
That “young” bit has me concerned.
Haha, very cool! I am looking forward to your thoughts on it.
I should have listened to a good friend of mine. Our taste in books is exactly the same (that’s how we bonded!) and she said she didn’t finish it, because it was too boring and she was sure I wouldn’t like it either. She was right.
I have also not read many negitive reviews for this. Thank you. I think it is safe to say I can pass this one over in the shops.
Oh no! I have a copy of this one and I’ve been looking forward to it. At least I have the paperback, not the audio book.
Me from a year ago would have probably given it another chance, but I am quicker to not finish now. Too many good books out there.
It probably plays a role as well! If I’d liked the narrator more, I might have given it another chance. If I was reading it I could have gone back to check on names, places etc.
Ahahaha, I see what you mean!! And good to know – I will definitely not grab the audio books when I start my Hobb reread (some time in the future^^). I hope you like the book more!!
The acting too young thing is interesting. That can really kill a book for me!!
I seem to be in the minority 😀 It’s actually like that for me with a lot of popular books.
Ugh, that’s miserable. Audio books done well can be wonderful. I just finished listening to Neil Gaiman narrate one of his own books (The Ocean at the End of the World) and that was a nice refreshing change. I love listening to him narrate his own books.
Yay! Welcome to the club 😀 Now I don’t feel so bad for not giving it another chance. Just not our book! | 2019-04-23T02:07:35 | https://dragonsandzombies.com/2018/05/06/dnf-review-malice-by-john-gwynne/ |

When Kent Julius, DVM, was looking for a group purchasing organization (GPO) eight years ago, he knew how much corporate veterinary practices were saving on goods and services in comparison to individual and smaller practices.
He also knew if he was going to compete, he’d have to find a way to get closer to those corporate savings.
Julius estimates that a typical, $1 million per year, one-veterinarian practice pays 20–23% in cost of goods sold while corporate entities pay about 14%. “With other expenses, that’s about $100,000 we’re paying that the big boys get to keep,” said Julius, who owns Legacy Veterinary Hospital in Frisco, Texas, and Leonard Animal Clinic in Leonard, Texas.
Julius said he looked at several GPOs and chose Veterinary Growth Partners, as it best matched his needs and vendors with which he was currently working. He said he’s saved an average of $10,000 per year purchasing off the GPO’s vendor list.
Typically, a GPO charges a fee to join, and then the member can enjoy discounts on products and services from the vendors with whom the GPO has entered into partnerships.
The HSCA traces the first GPO to 1910 in New York City, when a group of hospitals got together to negotiate a deal on laundry services. The idea did not take off right away, though. According to HSCA, there were only 10 GPOs in 1962, but that number grew to 40 by 1974 and tripled between 1974 and 1977.
HSCA reports there are now hundreds of healthcare GPOs, affiliates, and cooperatives in the US born of the need for hospitals to save money in response to lower reimbursements from government and private insurance.
The idea of GPOs has expanded into many other industries as more corporations dominate the business world. It’s unclear when the first GPO began in veterinary medicine, although the oldest one among the current GPOs is the Veterinary Hospital Association (VHA), which formed in 1985. “They were looking to pool resources and negotiate for better pricing,” said Jeff Benson, executive director of VHA.
Veterinary GPOs vary widely in terms of business models, the number of suppliers, and the benefits each one offers. All the GPOs contacted for this article allow practices to be a member of more than one. Christine Panek, MBA, AAHA Advantage business manager, said some may begin restricting the number of times per year a member may change a vendor to the GPO discount to prevent “hopping” from one discount to another.
The following is a breakdown of the various veterinary purchasing groups, a sampling of suppliers (when available), costs, and benefits, according to the GPO. They’re presented in alphabetical order.
AAHA Advantage offers group purchasing in both the form of upfront discounts and in quarterly rebates. “When a practice signs up, we notify our vendors, and they can order directly from the manufacturer or from their own distributors,” said Panek.
For rebates, vendors issue them directly to the practice or, more typically, send rebates to AAHA Advantage, which will then distribute checks. AAHA Advantage vendors also offer growth rebates, which reward practices on year-over-year growth.
Panek said one of the unique benefits of AAHA Advantage is the dashboard, which allows a practice to sign onto the AAHA website and see exactly how much it is due in rebates for the quarter. The dashboard currently only shows the rebates issued by AAHA but will soon include rebates given directly to practices by vendors and will list growth goals for each practice.
PSI was founded in 1998 by the Florida Veterinary Medical Association to assist Florida veterinarians. According to Patrick McCarthy (the new president of PSI), Richard Wilkes, DVM, then split PSI off into its own entity. Nearly two years ago, PSI received an investment from Henry Schein, Inc., and Wilkes retired this past April.
PSI is now a national organization. “We have nearly a billion dollars of buying power for the collective,” said McCarthy. To join PSI, a prospective member must be an independent, noncorporate-owned veterinarian. “We are really committed to helping the independents,” said McCarthy. Once a credit application is approved by the vendors, members can start ordering from the list.
PSI also offers vendor rebates based on either purchases or growth goals for practices. The rebates are issued quarterly on a PSI-branded debit card.
One thing McCarthy said makes PSI unique is it assigns each member one of 24 area managers who are knowledgeable in practice management. Those area managers not only inform the practices on what’s happening with vendors but also consult with the practices on best business practices to help improve profitability. That may include presenting workshops onsite. “We really consider our area manager an employee of the practices they serve,” said McCarthy.
Also known as TVC, The Veterinary Club was founded in 2010 in partnership with Amerinet (now Intalere), a large GPO in the human healthcare world. According to Bryan Benitz, managing partner of The Veterinary Club, the primary goal at that time was to help practices that focused on equine care. However, it has expanded to also include small animal practices as well.
The Veterinary Club works with Intalere, which has representatives negotiating for the best deals, said Benitz. Once a member joins, they are provided a member ID, and the practice must sign up with each vendor partner individually. “Five minutes spent linking to one of our vendors is a lot better than not saving,” said Benitz.
Members receive discounts with contracted vendors as well as rebates. Those checks are issued quarterly by Intalere. “The prices practices are getting are typically much smaller than what others in this industry are providing because Intalere is negotiating the best prices in the human healthcare industry, which is much larger than the veterinary industry,” said Benitz.
There is no obligation to use the vendors once a practice signs up, and there are no minimum purchase requirements.
Vendor sampling: Declined to provide; a sampling of vendor industries include telecommunication, pharmaceuticals, laboratory, office equipment, diagnostic imaging, and others.
CEO Rich Morris said that this GPO, which was formed in 2012, is actually a true cooperative rather than a traditional GPO business model, which means profits are given back to the members. “We are owned by our members,” said Morris.
When members sign up for The Veterinary Cooperative (TVC), they have 30 days to review the programs to ensure they are right for the practice. “Over 80% of the practices that sign up for TVC end up joining,” said Morris.
Morris said the main tenant of TVC is transparency, and the only “holdback” of a discount is applied to operating expenses. Any money that is not used for operating expenses goes toward a profit rebate, which is distributed at the end of the year. The holdback depends on the vendor but never exceeds 2% (and sometimes is 0%). One half of the members participated in the profit rebate last year and received $2,000 each. “It’s based on participation, not how big you are,” said Morris.
The Veterinary Hospital Association was founded in 1985, primarily focusing on assisting practices in Minnesota. The organization is national, but most members are still concentrated in the upper Midwestern states of Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.
The Veterinary Hospital Association is also different in that members can either use their own vendor contacts and distributors or call VHA, which has a warehouse stocked with merchandise it delivers locally or dropships to its members.
VHA also produces monthly reports to let members know where they stand with regard to quarterly rebates and how much they’ve saved in discounts. Additionally, VHA returns part of the profits in the form of rebates to its members. “We bring the best parts of a [cooperative], association, buying group, distributor, and business partner together under one roof,” said Benson.
The following groups declined to participate in this story or did not respond to messages. The information provided is from their websites.

Four composers—all pupils of Rimsky-Korsakov who had possibly inherited his prejudices—refused before Diaghilev found his volunteer: Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971), also a Rimsky-Korsakov pupil, but an ambitious member of a younger generation who had yet to make a name for himself and who therefore had everything to gain from the international exposure Diaghilev promised. In a couple of brightly colored orchestral scherzos the fledgling composer had shown a flair for féerie, the chief necessity for a “Miriskusnik” composer—that is, a composer in the spirit of Mir iskusstva and its aristocratic, decorative values. Stravinsky was invited to join the team.

(CNN) Representatives of the Taliban will take part in talks in Moscow next month on the future of Afghanistan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday.
"The initial response is positive - they plan to take part in this meeting. I hope it will be productive," he told reporters in the southern Russian city of Sochi.
Moscow has taken an increasingly active role in efforts to persuade the Taliban to enter into a political settlement with the US-backed Afghan government, with which it has been in a lengthy conflict with.
Last week, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani offered a month long ceasefire with the Taliban, as officials in Kabul and Washington push for an end to the war which has stretched on since the US invasion in 2001.
"We remain ready to support, facilitate, and participate in direct negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban. There are no obstacles to talks. It is time for peace," US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said after Ghani's comments.
The Taliban has yet to respond to the ceasefire offer, nor is there any guarantee that such a ceasefire would stop attacks. On Tuesday, mortars were fired at the green zone area, located close to the Presidential Palace in Kabul as Ghani was holding a ceremony to mark the start of Eid.
Those attacks were linked to the Afghan wing of the so-called Islamic State, which has increased activity in the country in recent months and claimed credit for a string of deadly attacks.
An MD 530F military helicopter targets a house where suspected attackers are hiding in Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2018.
Russia shares no border with Afghanistan, but Moscow in recent months has stepped up contact with the Taliban, which is formally banned in Russia.
The Taliban grew out of the US and Saudi-backed mujahideen movement which fought a bloody guerrilla war against the Soviet Union after that country invaded and occupied Afghanistan in 1979.
"We never concealed that we maintain contacts with the Taliban -- it is part of Afghan society," Lavrov said. "We support these contacts, primarily in the interests of ensuring the safety of Russian citizens in Afghanistan, Russian institutions, but also to encourage the Taliban to abandon the armed struggle and enter into a nationwide dialogue with the government."
Zamir Kabulov, the Russian government's diplomatic point man on Afghanistan, said in an interview published Tuesday in the daily newspaper Izvestia that the Moscow meeting would take place on September 4.

What Kind of Businesses Hire Cleaning Services in Singapore?
Home Blog What Kind of Businesses Hire Cleaning Services in Singapore?
In the recent past, a wind of change is blowing on many businesses in Singapore regarding their core business operations. There is a paradigm shift as businesses will hire cleaning services rather than get bogged down with the daily task of coordinating in-house cleaning. The art of outsourcing cleaning services is slowly and steadily getting into businesses vocabulary.
Now, what do you think are some of the businesses that have opted to outsource these services?
Every time you’re at a restaurant you’re on the lookout especially on the table or chair you’re sitting on much less on the food served. But, how often do you stop and think that the floor you’re stepping on could have cost someone to break a sweat? Here’s the thing, high-end restaurants and bars in Singapore now hire cleaning services to do a professional cleaning. Most of these outsourced cleaning companies turn up at the end of the night and spruce up for the morning. The cleaning services adhere to strict health regulations bearing in mind the nature of these premises.
If you happen to be a frequent visitor of any fitness centers whether it’s a gym or yoga studio, you’ll probably can’t help noticing the level of cleanliness. And if you thought maybe it’s an in-house cleaning arrangement, then you’re wrong. Fitness centers businesses now sail in the same bandwagon to hire cleaning services. You could talk of upholstery cleaning, high glass cleaning, air purification that would only be familiar with highly trained professional. These businesses don’t compromise for anything less than perfection as they highly value their reputation. Think of how it would sound if such a business witnesses a client injury just because the working floor wasn’t mapped well. Disastrous!!
The level of cleanliness that you’d expect in a medical or dental office would not be the same as that in a warehouse or a boutique shop. A significant majority of medical offices that operate on strict schedules and hardly have time to look into the work done will hire cleaning services.
Singapore falls among the most progressive economies in the world and receives patients from abroad. Businesses renew strategies dynamically. Outsourcing highly trained professionals that understand the dynamics of such businesses are on hire. Medical offices wouldn’t want to run the risk of getting penalized or receiving claims compensations from patients due to negligence. In extremes cases, these businesses may opt for part-time cleaning services if they cannot afford full-time cleaning services. You could talk about high dusting services, floor scrubbing, waxing tiled floor, shampoo carpets, to name four.
Like most concerned parents, you will always want your kid to learn in a clean place. You’d survey and personally visit the facilities to clear your conscious. Many high-end privately-owned kindergarten schools in Singapore hire cleaning services. The same doubt that you’d not want to have, they’re already working on it. Such schools have a name and image to maintain to remain in business, and any misfortune has far-reaching consequences.
You cannot talk about hiring cleaning services without thinking about the retail shopping malls. Singapore has numerous retail shops that stock a variety of items from clothing, foodstuffs, jewelry, home appliances that require a clean environment. Retail shopping malls now hire cleaning services in Singapore to attract more clientele. The stakes are high to remain market leaders, and so the search for the best cleaning companies are in demand.

I’m sorry Dawlin, I just couldn’t watch the whole thing…its one thing to read things like this, but audio-visual makes it sickening at best!
You should watch it, Mike. Make yourself watch it, it’s not too long. It’s important that we don’t turn this off and ignore it. Millions of Iraqi people, men, women, children and babies died at the hands of the US military, mercenaries and NATO. Millions are refugees to this day. The US destroyed their country.

Last Thursday, we pulled Verdi's String Quartet out of the pile of quartet parts in our respective studios and rehearsed it for the first time in over two months. But, this was no normal quartet session hidden away in one of our living rooms, we intended to do work on the slow movement in front of a small audience. Our goal was to get them immersed in our process, and have them learn about the way we do work.
While we learned from what our mentors had to offer, we also picked up new thoughts from our audience's insights and questions as well.
We even got in a few laughs.
We'll definitely be doing this again, in many subtly different forms, in the hopes that exposing the inner workings of what we do can provide new sources of inspiration for both the audience and ourselves.
A primo benefit to being a quartet that plays loads of new music is that we get first-looks at minty fresh scores. Our UChicago New Music Ensemble concert this Saturday is exactly that, and we are all impressed by the imagination and polish of the music featured by their talented composition students.
Phil Taylor's Spandrels is alternate doses of tranquility and eruption, draped across an architecture that keeps the listener satisfyingly rooted in the present. Jae-Goo Lee's Cold and Sharp pulls the camera in tight, examining a shivering and delicate world through microscopic-seeming string techniques. Andrew McManus has proven himself to be a major talent at writing for strings, and his The Sacred and the Profane moves through shades of prismatic harmonics, jazz-like jaunts and vital rhythmic counterpoint before disappearing altogether.
Esteemed Northwestern University faculty composer Hans Thomalla's Albumblatt has quickly become a cornerstone of our repertoire, and we are thrilled to be bringing this perspective-warping piece to Hyde Park to round out the program. Imagine glissandi originating from separate corners within the quartet, converging at microtonally-constructed major chords for just an instant. It makes us throw our hands up and shout, "It's SO GOOD!" every time we rehearse it.

3-year-olds love Elliott Carter…at least the 3-year-olds found scurrying beneath the iconic Tiffany dome of Preston Bradley Hall on Friday morning. Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) has launched a fresh new series with the intention of immersing toddlers and their caregivers in contemporary music, dance and theatre, cleverly titled "Juicebox," and Spektral Quartet is thrilled to have been the lead-off ensemble. We are also still wiping Cheerios dust off our strings.
What seems clear to DCASE, and certainly to our quartet, is that listeners have to be taught to bristle or sneer at certain flavors of music. Take Carter's Quartet No. 2, which tends to elicit some of the more emphatic responses, from ecstatic to cynical, from our audiences. We've developed larger-than-life character descriptions for each instrument's role, a self-composed play synopsis for the movements, and had open conversations with each other about the piece in front of the audience prior to performing it in an effort to create a foothold for first-time listeners. This has been encouragingly successful. On the other hand, tell toddlers, "This piece is awesome," play it with gusto, and their response is, "THIS PIECE IS AWESOME!"
For our Juicebox debut, Spektral excerpted Thomas Adès's Arcadiana, Hans Thomalla's Albumblatt, and Marcos Balter's Chambers in addition to the Carter. With the help of Spektral violinist Austin Wulliman's mother Phyllis, who translated our ideas into Toddler, we approached each composer as an explorer. Adès explores the alchemy of painting into sound: parents here rocked with their children back and forth during the fog-veiled gondola ride of Arcadiana's first movement. Thomalla explores the sounds around him in everyday life: violinist Aurelien plays the bariolage measures, likening it to an ambulance siren, and dozens of tiny eyes widen. Balter explores the world as if through a microscope: Phyllis encourages the children to look skyward, and has them pick out a tiny snowflake from among the myriad details of the brilliant, colored glass dome. Finally, the fourth movement and conclusion of Carter's each-instrument-as-independent-character masterpiece is introduced as four people all talking simultaneously, not listening to each other until the second violin reins in the proceedings and restores order. After all, what's a kid's concert without an under-the-radar morality lesson?
At a concert of Mozart for (primarily) septua- and octogenarians the previous evening, one well-intentioned but concerned gentleman asked, "Tonight you're playing for an enthusiastic group of old people who love this music. Who comes to your other shows?" Spektral Quartet has been focused on breaking the fourth wall since its inception, commandeering bars as performance spaces and experimenting with seating the audience up-close, encircling the quartet. We've also prioritized playing works by emerging and local composers, so we were able to respond confidently that our audience is young and open-eared.
Ultimately, it can be distilled down to this: bypassing the need for "un-learning" preconceptions about new music is why the Juicebox series is a powerful artistic venture, and one we will continue to support.
No need to call a babysitter for Spektral's next concert!
We are thrilled to be the lead-off ensemble on the Chicago Dept. of Cultural Affairs brand-new series, Juicebox. Created for pre-kindergarteners and their parents, Juicebox is bringing some of City's most cutting-edge new-music/theatre/dance under the Tiffany dome at the Chicago Cultural Center, transforming it into a kid-friendly performance space. Cheerios in a ziploc? Bring 'em. Feel the need to dance or squeal? Go for it! Forgot your wallet, Mom and Dad? It's free!
Guiding Spektral's all new-music set is early childhood development ace (she raised Austin, after all), Phyllis Wulliman. Conjuring narratives and inspiring children to interact with the music, Phyllis and the Quartet will take the audience on a voyage through the brilliant and evocative scores of Elliott Carter, Hans Thomalla and Thomas Adès.
*misbehaving parents will be asked to sit in time out chairs for a period of 15min.
We're incredibly excited, thrilled, pumped up and stoked to be playing one of the first concerts in the amazing new Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago. If you're reading this blog, you probably know that we were recently named Ensemble in Residence at U. of C., so it feels particularly fitting to be launching our brand-spanking-new residency with a performance in a brand new venue. There's an entire festival of events this weekend, and we hope we'll see you in the Performance Hall for our show on Friday. | 2019-04-23T18:44:18 | http://spektralquartet.com/blog/category/Education |
Everything you love about a Greek salad—but way more fun!

This recipe is an excellent way to give a new life to leftover rotisserie chicken and veggie scraps kicking around your fridge. Feel free to use store bought pita chips rather than baking your own.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss together chickpeas, paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt on a small rimmed baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes.
While chickpeas bake, stir together tomatoes, cucumber, onion, parsley, lemon juice, oil, oregano, vinegar, and black pepper in a medium bowl; set aside. Stir together yogurt, sour cream, dill, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. If desired, transfer yogurt mixture to a squeeze bottle. Set aside.
Remove chickpeas from oven, and increase oven temperature to 500°F. Spread toasted pita wedges evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet. Top evenly with chicken and feta. Bake at 500°F just until chicken is warmed through and cheese begins to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
Top nachos evenly with lettuce, chickpeas, tomato mixture, pepperoncini, and olives. Drizzle with yogurt mixture. | 2019-04-23T14:35:58 | https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/loaded-greek-salad-nachos |

From design, architecture, poetry, music, writing, art, theatre and food, a visit to London will open up your mind as well as all your senses to what the future beholds for the rest of the world.
London is the hub of diversity. With its deeply multicultural roots, one in three foreign-born Londoners represent 270 nationalities and 300 tongues. It still remains one of the world’s most popular destinations with diversity that permeates not only the regular life of the people but also the food, music and fashion as well. You will find this diversity in significant British institutions like the British Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum where the collections are as sundry as they are outstanding. You can also enjoy the full gamut of global flavours available at the centuries-old Borough Market, amongst the many places to see in London.
London sightseeing is a delight! With the open views and the lush green sceneries, you will find a lot of tourists exploring the city at a time. In Central London, you will find a majority of museums, galleries and the most genius wonders. Pay a visit to Hampstead Heath or Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, in case you’re looking for uncluttered places to see in London. Head out further to Richmond, Hampton Court Palace and Kew Gardens for panoramic views of riverside London, best enjoyed with a pint at a quaint pub.
Pay a visit to the British Museum, in West End, the country’s largest, oldest and finest museum which has opened since 1759. The museum features Egyptian, Greek, Roman, European and Middle Eastern galleries among others and is the city’s most visited attraction. One of the best things to do in London for History and archaeology buffs!
If you’re in the South bank wondering what to see in London, you must go checkout the historic building called Shakespeare’s Globe. A trip to the globe entails half-hourly tours of theatre and access to the exhibition space with captivating exhibits on Shakespeare’s life. The most recent addition to the Globe is a Jacobean theatre called the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, a gem amongst the places to see in London.
Another landmark in London Sightseeing is the Tower of London, a castle of 22 towers.
The Tower has an enthralling past and was formerly home to a royal family, a treasury, an armoury as well as a zoo. But it is most famous for being the prison where many met nobles met their deaths including a king and three queens. Booking online will ensure you cheaper rates to see the mighty Crown Jewels, the long line of famous ravens and the royal armoury.
Considered amongst the finest examples of the Early English Gothic Architecture, the Westminster Abbey flaunts a gorgeous blend of design. The Abbey still works as a place of worship and is home to the tombstones of Britain’s greatest, including 17 monarchs. Even though the Abbey was founded in 960 AD, a greater part of its architectural influence is from the 13th century. Behind the High Altar lies the shrine of St. Edward the Confessor and is deemed to be the most hallowed place in the entire Abbey. There are guided but restricted tours to this corner since the 13th century flooring has grown to be quite fragile.
The Museum of Natural History is perhaps the most visited place in London. If you’re in Kensington and Hyde Park and have a few hours to spare, you simply cannot miss out on visiting this massive but resplendent structure. Inspired with the incorrigible Victorian nature to collect, catalogue and interpret nature in all its glory, be ready to be entertained for hours, child or adult alike! | 2019-04-21T14:20:13 | https://www.sotc.in/tourism/london-tourism/things-to-do-in-london |
The Spring runways were awash with bold tailoring. Jason Wu’s contribution to the trend at Boss was a double-breasted navy pantsuit with a detachable collar in a marinière stripe. Wu is thinking nautical this season. In addition to that shipshape pantsuit, he did a bright yellow mac in coated and bonded nylon; a trench came with a rope detail at the waist; and there were shorts in a sturdy engineer stripe, worn with a matching coat. As motifs go, nautical is as tried-and-true as they come, but Wu handled it deftly. In any case, he has his eponymous line for his more adventurous inclinations.
The attitude overall felt quite relaxed. Gone, for instance, were the rigorous sheaths of his early days at this German label; instead he opted for color-blocked slip dresses and easy pleated styles. The prettiest of his frocks was a midi-length one in a vintage-look lacy knit, which was hidden under a trenchcoat at the Boss showroom. | 2019-04-20T08:56:36 | https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2018-ready-to-wear/hugo-boss |
I was recently watching the “how to stay young” programme and dancing was at the top of the list for mind and body so dancing keeps you young. That is great to know and when you think about it some of great dancers have lived to ripe old ages – Fred Astaire 88, Gene Kelly 84, Norma Miller 97, Frankie Manning 94 we are in with a great chance to a longer life – hopefully.
Dancing keeps you young and your mind working and if you happen to go to any sequence dancing or afternoon tea dance you will come across many active elderly some of them in their 90s and still dancing remembering all their steps albeit small. I take my hat off to these and hope I am amongst this age group and still dancing.
There is so much choice of dance out there and readily available from jive to zumba , barn dancing to pole dancing so much to choose from. All dancing will increase your activity level and I know many people who come to jive have lost pounds and made many new friends. Running a dance club enables a great meet up time.
In Rochford where Mr Dickie Bows is based we have a swing class on Monday evening in the Church Hall Church Road There are also Ballroom and sequence dancing in the Ashingdon and East Hawkwell memorial hall. There is Ballroom on Monday & Thursday evening, a tea dance on Tuesday afternoons and sequence dancing on a Monday afternoon; new people are always made welcome. So if you live in Rochford why not come along and join in. | 2019-04-21T01:18:38 | http://mrdickiebows.co.uk/dancing-keeps-you-young/ |

Moving homes is a deeply disorienting experience for the vast majority of us. Although, if all goes according to plan, the move should also prove to be well worth any trouble caused by the upheaval of moving your life from one location to another, there’s still going to be a stressful adjustment period before you feel properly at home once more.
There are many things that you can and should do to help yourself, and your family, get over this inevitable period of uncertainty, including attending local events, signing up for local clubs, walking around the area, and decorating to the home and garden to create the most familiar and welcoming atmosphere possible.
If you play your cards right, you should be able to defuse a good deal of stress from the situation while a service like shiply delivers new goods to your home, so that you can begin your new life in comfort.
Though it’s not often talked about, running your own blog can be a very useful way of helping yourself deal with this period of upheaval.
Here are some ways having a blog can help you get settled in after a move.
A move is obviously disorienting primarily because it removes you from a familiar and comfortable environment that you understand, and places you in a new and uncertain environment that you’ll inevitably struggle to wrap your head around at the initial stages of the move.
While you may find yourself disoriented for a while when you wake up in the morning and stumble the wrong way to the bathroom, having a blog allows you to enjoy a sense of “familiarity”, even if only in non-physical space.
Your blog will look the same, contain the same posts, and be a familiar entity in your life. That, alone, can be helpful.
When we move home, it’s not always easy for us to explore and express our feelings in a productive manner. If we have children, this often complicates things further, as we need to be strong and stable for their sake.
A blog provides an avenue for exploring and expressing your feelings about the move, whether those feelings are a mixture of homesickness and excitement, or something else.
You don’t necessarily even need to make the blog post explicitly about you. Simply writing a general post like “struggles of moving homes” can give you room to vent.
As a general rule, the early stages of any move are going to be somewhat chaotic, with unpacked cardboard boxes all over the place, and a general air of chaos ruling the environment.
Your blog is something that you can use to distract yourself, productively, from your surroundings when you need a moment to step back and catch your breath.
With a blog, you can immerse yourself in exploring a given topic, or you can simply browse old posts to see how well they’ve held up. | 2019-04-25T03:43:52 | https://surreymama.com/2018/07/20/3-ways-having-a-blog-can-help-you-get-settled-in-after-a-move/ |

Fannie Mae’s newly announced Home Purchase Sentiment Index takes the results of their monthly National Housing Survey – which polls Americans about their attitudes toward the housing market and their personal finances – and distills them into a single number that can be used to track consumer attitudes toward buying and selling a home. According to the results, the index fell 0.5 points in August to 80.8. That’s down slightly from the all-time high reached in June but still up 5.3 points from one year earlier. Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae’s senior vice president and chief economist, said attitudes toward the current home selling climate have slid back a bit. “Expectations of rising mortgage rates and increasing concerns in the last six months about the direction of the economy seem to be weighing on consumers’ assessment of the housing market,” Duncan said. “Those who think it’s a good time to buy or sell a home have consistently pointed to favorable mortgage rates as the primary reason for their optimism. Those who think it’s a bad time to buy or sell a home have consistently pointed to unfavorable economic conditions as the primary reason for their pessimism.” Still, this month’s survey found the number of people who think it’s a good time to sell and those who think it’s a good time to buy both rose 2 percent from the month before.

Nevet Yitzhak is a video and sound artist who lives in Israel. In her work, she often criticizes contemporary political and cultural modes while challenging our perception of the past and raising questions about cultural heritage and collective forgetfulness within a complex local identity. She most often employs archival materials that deal with historical events which she then deconstructs and reconstruct with digital tools. The outcome reintroduces the historical moment with a nostalgic yet critical approach for past social and cultural structures and traditions. The use of found footage, extracting it from its original context and manipulating it both in terms of video and sound is one of the central themes of her work. Yitzhak's practice also deals with the diverse combinations between sound and video and their modes of representation. | 2019-04-18T10:42:56 | http://tirochedeleon.com/artist/151456 |

I create jewelry pieces combining unusual beads, construction and colors.
I am inspired by the need to share beauty in beads with everyone.
I really enjoy working with Swarovski crystals, gold and silver beads, and semi-precious stones (i.e. turquoise, hematite, amber and amethyst).
A wonderful sunrise in a strikingly blue sky.
I began making jewelry many, many years ago, when I was cruising boutiques in the Soho District. The beads I saw were so varied and beautiful that I just had to buy some. I first tried my hand at making macaroni bead necklaces. Through the years, I have expanded the content and style of my work. I am very pleased and excited about the pieces I create.
I am a visual artist who has been creating for over forty years as a painter, poet, and jeweler.
I discovered Fire Mountain Gems from an ad in Ornament magazine.
Playing music, reading and traveling.
I can get into making a piece and become lost, contently, in the process. I work on something regularly as one of my careers.
I used to sell at street fairs. Now I sell through my website.

SHELTON — Teacher Amanda Wandishion lets her kids set the agenda.
The fourth-grade reading and literacy class at Elizabeth Shelton School is home base for Wandishion — recently named Shelton’s innovative educator of the month — and 48 fourth graders, 24 in the morning and another 24 in the afternoon.
Helping that bus stay on the road is Newsela, an online program that lets students pick from an array of stories taken directly from current events. Beside being interesting to read, the material is designed to match each student’s reading level and interests.
Newsela also incorporates reading-comprehension exercises similar to reading boxes that were a mainstay in classrooms from the ’60s through the ’90s.
What’s different is the sheer volume of web-based reading material and the precision with which the software — and Wandishion — can ensure that what the students read is both level-appropriate and challenging.
An educational grant provided the classroom with three microphones the students use to discuss their reading and persuade their classmates to read the same piece. And the students learn to hone their speaking abilities and build confidence.
On a day last week, Cole St. Pierre was among the first to step up to a mike, relating a story about how to become a movie stunt person. Next, Evan Stanchfield talked about the flocks of seagulls that plague outdoor sports stadiums in cities near oceans.
Jay Kneen talked about his surname, which he shares with a busy street near Route 8.
“Edward Kneen was one of the first mayors of Shelton,” he said.
Speaking in front of others imparts yet another critical lesson — fluency with language, Wandishion said.
The content within Newsela is closely linked to another component of Wandishion’s classroom: a study of the world. Wandishion’s students have spent this year writing letters to two groups of students from Canada: One in a fourth-grade classroom on an island near Newfoundland, the other in a class of fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders in rural Alberta.
Just as exchanging letters builds strong writing skills, so does “Feel Good Friday.” In the weekly exercise, students praise their classmates via a written note about some characteristic in which that other student excels.
The accent is on the positive: Beside honing writing abilities, the lesson teaches them the importance of empathy in society, Wandishion said.
The classroom is full of other innovations including a version of the “Mad Libs” game the students complete as part of a vocabulary lesson.
Currently, the class is prepping for an important milestone — its first student-parent-teacher conference, set for next month.
Here again, the kids are in charge. Each student plans what he or she wants to say about milestones achieved and skills requiring additional work. They also meet at least once for a dress rehearsal. A second conference is scheduled for May.
All of this aims to equip Shelton students for work — and life — in the interconnected world of the 21st century, Wandishion said.
Skills such as reading, writing and the social sciences, occasionally derided as inferior skills to the more important “hard skills” of science and mathematics, are front and center. | 2019-04-21T13:27:43 | https://www.ctpost.com/local/article/A-Shelton-fourth-grade-teacher-puts-the-kids-in-13550206.php |

…. Earmarks must have a legitimate and worthy public purpose. Earmarks that members do seek must be aired on those members’ websites in advance, so the public and the press can examine them and judge their merits for themselves. Each earmark must be open to scrutiny at public hearings, where members will have to justify their expense to the taxpayer.
Next, any earmark for a for-profit private company should be subject to the same competitive bidding requirements as other federal contracts. The awarding of earmarks to private companies is the single most corrupting element of this practice, as witnessed by some of the indictments and convictions that we’ve already seen…..When they’re private entities, then I believe they have to be evaluated with a higher level of scrutiny.
WASHINGTON — Despite cries for reform, the earmark process is alive and well in Congress.
As lawmakers write the military budget for fiscal-year 2010, every member on the House defense-appropriations subcommittee has requested funds for contractors and other organizations with employees who have donated money to their campaigns.
The 18 members of the subcommittee are seeking a total of about $2 billion on behalf of such companies, universities and nonprofit groups, according to a review of campaign-finance data and nearly 400 earmark requests in the 2010 defense-spending bill by the nonpartisan Taxpayers for Common Sense.
Employees of those entities donated nearly $1 million to the 11 Democrats and seven Republicans since the beginning of 2007.
The defense-spending bill for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, which will likely total more than $500 billion, is slated for a final vote in the panel Thursday.
The requests come as the Democratic-led Congress has vowed to curb the earmark process, where members write into the budget a requirement that funds be spent in a specific way, rather than leaving those decisions to the discretion of government officials or competitive bidding. Scandals over earmarks for big donors paved the way for Republicans to lose control of Congress in 2006.
After that election, Democrats mandated that lawmakers list earmark requests on their Web sites for public review months before the spending bills are written and debated. Previously, earmarks were inserted into bills without much oversight.
It is not illegal for employees of companies to donate money to lawmakers who attempt to secure earmarks for the companies. There is no guarantee that any lawmaker’s request will end up in the final budget, which is subject to full votes in the House and Senate. The Justice Department has pursued corruption cases in the last decade based on the link between campaign donations and official acts by lawmakers, including requesting earmarks.
Rep. Jim Moran (D., Va.) received $201,100 from entities requesting earmarks, the most of anyone on the subcommittee. Rep. John Murtha (D., Pa.), the chairman of the defense-appropriations subcommittee, got $199,050 in donations from employees and political action committees of companies requesting $61.4 million in targeted federal funding.
Mr. Moran represents Northern Virginia, an area heavily populated by defense-industry firms. Mr. Moran requested 45 earmarks totaling nearly $134 million in spending for projects such as redesigning Air Force radar technology to work in “extremely cold weather.” Some employees of 26 of those 45 companies have donated to Mr. Moran’s campaigns.
The top Republican on the panel, Rep. Bill Young (R., Fla.), requested $72.5 million for entities whose employees donated $122,000.
A new defense-earmarks scandal is brewing around PMA Group, a Washington lobbying shop that was run by Mr. Murtha’s former staff member Paul Magliocchetti. PMA steered millions of dollars in campaign contributions to lawmakers who later requested earmarks for the firm’s clients. No one has been charged in the Federal Bureau of Investigation probe.
Messrs. Murtha and Young requested earmarks for PMA’s former clients. Both have previously denied any wrongdoing.
The precise amount of member-directed spending in this bill is not known because two members — Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick (D., Mich.) and Rep. Jack Kingston (R., Ga.) — didn’t release what they will request to be included in the bill, but rather released what was requested of them. When asked by The Wall Street Journal to release specific requests, both members declined.
According to Ms. Kilpatrick’s disclosures, she has received requests for $856 million from General Dynamics Corp. General Dynamics, PMA’s former client, gave Ms. Kilpatrick’s campaign $12,000 through its political action committee.
Mr. Murtha got contributions from employees of 15 of the 20 entities for which he sought funding. A spokesman for Mr. Murtha declined to comment.
Mr. Young’s earmark requests include $5 million for DRS Technologies Inc., whose employees and PAC donated $34,850 to his campaign in 2008 alone. DRS was formerly represented by PMA. DRS and Mr. Young did not return calls for comment.
Most lawmakers say the donations are not related to the earmark requests. Sam Sackett, a spokesman for Rep. Todd Tiahrt (D., Kan.), said it “comes as no surprise” that the employees of Hawker Beechcraft Corp. would donate $23,100 to the congressman’s re-election efforts. He requested $8 million in funding for Hawker Beechcraft.
Rep. Norman Dicks received a total of $48,300 from employees and political-action committees of 12 companies in line to get earmarks. George Behan, a spokesman for Mr. Dicks, said these companies’ support is “nothing new” as Mr. Dicks represents Kitsap County, a defense-industry stronghold. | 2019-04-24T06:36:30 | https://lidblog.com/wha/ |

Clinical Studies: First defeatHIV Clinical Study Is Enrolling!
First defeatHIV Clinical Study Is Enrolling!
We are excited to announce recruitment for the first defeatHIV clinical study is open! This is an important step in our HIV eradication efforts and as such, we will be updating defeatHIV.org to include further information on our clinical studies for HIV patients. Read on for study details, eligibility criteria and clinic contact information.
Purpose: The purpose of the treatment on this study is to replace bone marrow cells with healthy cells donated by a person with a healthy immune system. The new bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cells have the ability to grow into new blood and immune systems. We believe that HAART may give us a new way to help control the HIV and prevent it from infecting the new bone marrow cells. We will monitor the level of HIV in the latent reservoir to determine whether HAART drugs can continue to control or even reduce HIV after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
b. have a HIV load <5000 copies/ml.
b. have a HIV load <50 copies/ml, and c. have a CD4 count <100 cells/ml.
Patients must have an HLA-matched donor.
Patients must be <65 years old.
Contact: For more information, contact the Clinical Coordinator Office at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (1-800-804-8824) and reference protocol number 1410.

The Franklin County coroner's office determined that first-year student Colin Boyarski, whose body was found in a field near campus on April 3, died of acute alcohol intoxication. Hypothermia was named as a secondary cause of death.
The announcement was made on May 25 in a news release from the office of Knox County Sheriff David B. Barber.
Colin's body was found shortly before 9:00 a.m. by a Kenyon maintenance worker. Knox County Coroner Jeffery Bowers pronounced Colin dead at the scene and ordered that his body be taken to the Franklin County coroner's office in Columbus for an autopsy. Colin was last seen alive at an off-campus apartment about 2:00 a.m.
A graduate of Taylor Allderdice High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Colin had been a member of the National Honor Society and had been involved in the Model U.N., the environmental club, the ski club, and a student group devoted to issues of hunger. Colin was interested in philosophy as well as in literature and creative writing, say Kenyon professors who knew him. He had recently turned 19. | 2019-04-25T03:47:03 | http://bulletin-archive.kenyon.edu/x699.html |

Add a spritz of non-stick spray and heat the pan. Whisk the eggs with 2/3 of the tomato mixture and pour into the pan. As the eggs cook, gently lift the edge of the eggs and let uncooked egg flow underneath. Do not flip or fold the eggs. Top the eggs with the cheese and put the skillet under the broiler to finish cooking. Prepare the fruit and beverages. Slide the omelette onto the plate and top it with the remaining tomato/pepper mixture.
Tandoori Chicken and Vegetables 241 cal [299 if you add ¼ of a pita bread] 5.6 g fat 18.6 g protein 15 g carbs PB GF You can buy jars of tandoori sauce or summer sauce in most supermarkets. Be sure it does not contain corn syrup or sweeteners or lots of calories.
Cook the vegetables together until they are tender. Drain. Add the chicken and the sauce. Warm it all. Plate the brown rice [warm it if cold] and serve the chicken and vegetables on top. Good enough to eat.
That looks very yummy, especially if I substitute the eggplant for a zucchini!
Thank you. Yes, that substitution works well. | 2019-04-22T06:44:40 | https://fastingme.com/2016/08/10/spicy/ |
Abta is to step up its lobbying of government to bring down the cost of taking card payments, which will have an even greater impact on agents’ bottom lines come 2018.
"There’s due to be a statutory review in 2019 but we will be aiming to put together an evidence base before that"
Travel companies will be banned from charging fees for credit cards and other payment methods such as Apple Pay and Paypal From January 2018, as part of the implementation of the EU Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2). There are fears this could have a severe effect on agents financially as they will no longer be able to pass on the direct costs, such as interchange fees (the handling fee charged by a customer’s card company to the agent’s merchant acquirer).
During a TTG Facebook Live discussion last week, Abta’s senior public affairs manager Luke Petherbridge said the government was “aware” of the negative effect these changes could have on travel agents.
Petherbridge said Abta was talking to the Treasury, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and the Department for Transport to press for an earlier review into how banks and credit card firms charge interchange fees as well as the “duplication of financial protection” within the travel industry.
“It relates to the interchange regulations and the failure to bring down the cost of taking card payments across the board, which was meant to happen before the ban came in,” explained Petherbridge.
“That’s where we will be focusing our lobbying over the next few months until we get a change.
Interchange fees for debit and credit cards have been capped by the EU at 0.2% and 0.3% respectively since December 2015. But this rule has not reduced the costs for travel firms taking card payments, which Abta has described as “excessively high”.
Julia Lo Bue-Said, managing director of The Advantage Travel Partnership, urged the industry to work together to show the government its impact.
“We need to provide a package of evidence to help organisations like Abta lobby on our behalf,” she said during the Facebook Live discussion. | 2019-04-20T21:45:10 | https://www.ttgmedia.com/news/news/abta-in-talks-with-government-to-review-cost-of-card-interchange-fees-11615 |

Last week, President Donald J. Trump began moving from words and executive orders to the basic stuff of foreign policy and national security. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) delivered its budget estimates under the headline: “America First: A Budget Blueprint to Make America Great Again.” Over the next several months, Congress will decide out how much of this blueprint to use in building the government’s structure for the next fiscal year. This includes the hardware and software and “people-ware” of the tools of American statecraft.
Less expected, though hinted at for weeks, was an even more significant cut in moneys for diplomacy and development, a full 31%. Hard power wins, and soft power loses—as does, overall, America’s security and influence in the world.
There is near-consensus in Washington that the military should get more money. The services have been constantly engaged in warfighting for the last 15 years; equipment gets worn out; many men and women in uniform, along with government civilians and private contractors, have served multiple tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq. There is a national commitment to counter the Islamic State. And then there’s the future of warfare to consider. Fifteen years is also a long time in the evolution of conflict. In 2001, cyberwarfare was in its infancy, and the role of Special Operations was far smaller than it is today.
This near-consensus has tended to squelch basic questions of national security that should start with “What is it all for?” Indeed, if President Trump does want the United States to be less engaged in conflict abroad, that should not require an increase in military spending. It could even mean a decrease, though that idea has virtually no political traction in today’s Washington (and wouldn’t have If Hillary Clinton had been elected)—even among those who, like most Americans, do not want the United States to become involved in new conflicts. Congress may nibble at the edges of what OMB calls “one of the largest one-year DOD [Department of Defense] increases in American history,” but it will mostly go along with the president and could give him even more military money than he asks for.
But the rise in the defense budget comes out of the hide of other spending that also keeps the nation safe. Of course, the OMB budget is just the start of the bargaining. By his own account, the president sets demands outrageously high then settles for what he wanted in the first place. Further, congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle declared the cuts proposed for the State Department and USAID “dead on arrival.” These included some of the most vocal congressional hawks, who also believe that the best way to fight a war is to take steps to keep from having to fight it at all.
The OMB budget hits stewardship for generations yet unborn especially hard. Notably, it “eliminates the Global Climate Change Initiative and fulfills the President’s pledge to cease payment to the United Nation’s climate change programs…” We can’t say that we weren’t warned: the “science-deniers” are now in charge. Slashing these funds along with diplomacy and foreign aid in general is so ludicrous and antithetical to America’s capacity to defend the nation at home and its place in the world—however much that place may be scaled down—as not even to need rebuttal.
US embassies abroad are not stocked with cookie-pushers (except for the big political campaign contributors who buy ambassadorships in desirable foreign locations.) Embassies do the nation’s business in promoting US exports, paving the way for US business, and helping travelling Americans who get in trouble. More important is national security. US embassies do the day-to-day, year-in and year-out work of building and sustaining alliances that provide security not just for others but also for us. USAID employees and their programs help other countries improve their people’s lives and develop and sustain democratic governance, among other things reducing incentives for young people in some poor countries to enlist as terrorists. US Foreign Service Officers around the world vet visa-applicants to try weeding out potential terrorists and criminals. And the list goes on.
These people on the State and USAID payrolls, like their counterparts at DOD, represent the best of America abroad, more than ever a counterweight to the foolishness of some US political figures, now found at the very top. Unfortunately, there is little political constituency either for diplomacy or foreign assistance, until, of course, their absence comes to haunt us here at home.
The new secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, has not been publicly making this case. He did push back a bit when the White House first bruited taking a machete to his department and its works, even before he settled in to his job. But he has since gotten with the White House program.
In his (tardy) communication to his State and USAID team last week, Tillerson “acknowledges that U.S. engagement must be more efficient, that our aid be more effective, and that advocating the national interests of our country always be our primary mission.” It is true that State can cut excess, including some bureaus created by recent administrations that have more a name than a purpose, along with a host of “special representatives” who mostly get in the way of regular functioning of diplomacy and who have rarely produced success. But taken together, these “excesses” are small-ticket items.
Further, Tillerson committed a blooper: “Additionally, the budget is an acknowledgment that development needs are a global challenge to be met not just by contributions from the United States, but through greater partnership with and contributions from our allies and others.” The United States is indeed the largest foreign aid donor; but it is far from alone in meeting the “global challenge.” As a percentage of GDP, among the 28 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the US stands nineteenth, and if relatively poor Central European countries are not counted, we are even farther down the list! The OMB budget also makes major funding cuts for international agencies, like the World Bank, and for the United Nations, including its peacekeeping operations. Yet these operations are mostly conducted by the world’s last mercenaries, soldiers from some of the world’s poorest countries, thus obviating the need for American troops to take on tasks that the United States could otherwise have to assume.
As former head of a giant multinational oil company, Tillerson must know the worth of non-military US engagement abroad. He also must know that if he fails to stand up for his people, they will begin decamping. Already, many of the civil servants working for him, essential to his department’s functioning, are being forced out by the freeze imposed on renewing contracts. Further, most people at State and USAID get none of the glory of political appointees, but many serve abroad and face risks second only to troops in combat. Rebuilding a team, once decimated, is a slow and painful process: good diplomats do not emerge from nowhere any more than do military officers.
In slashing spending for non-military national security, there is an added consideration. When candidate and now President Trump talked about “America first,” he suggested that the United States would play a less consequential role in the world than before, the first president since before Pearl Harbor to make such an argument. Unfortunately for his ambition, the time for the United States to pull in its horns abroad passed decades ago. Pearl Harbor ended US isolation. Our deep engagement economically in the outside world, even leaving side our political and security engagements, dramatized by the 9/11 terrorist hijackers, decades ago ended US insulation forevermore. As a businessman, President Trump must know that. Certainly his entire economic and military teams do.
Further, everyone abroad is already listening to what the president says, watching what he does, and reading his budget line-by-line. Less non-military engagement abroad means more room for others to displace American influence. Reduced American influence means less capacity to secure our interests and play the leading role in writing the rules. Unique among the world’s nations, we pay a good deal of our way in the world by printing money rather than having to pay for all our imports with goods and services. Our very standard of living is subsidized by others, who are willing to “hold our financial paper” and keep the US dollar as the globe’s only true reserve currency. They do so in part because the United States could until now be relied on to “export security” as well as goods and services and where possible to “export stability” and play the leading role in fostering a rules-based international order.
Americans have paid much in blood and treasure to enjoy the benefits of keeping most of the world’s travails from our door: one of the best investments the nation has ever made. It may be that what Trump did in his budget and with his inability to control his tongue and tweets is mostly bargaining tactics, though that is by no means clear. But the rest of the world is not waiting to see how this drama plays out. As with people, nations take time to build a reputation for reliability and integrity. It can be dashed quickly, and rebuilding it can be even more difficult than building it to begin with.
By the time that President Trump realizes—if ever—the damage already done to America’s interests and values abroad, undoing it can be at exorbitant cost. Not least, cutting the non-military budget increases the chances that we will be engaged in more, not less, military combat, perhaps in places not even on today’s radar screen.

!!! DO NOT believe anything that is being claimed here !!! Assume there’s only LIES here, pure nonsense !!! Until proven otherwise.
Our true nature is LIGHT.
Greatest illusion and cause of our “problems” (in general) is PIMPBAL.
Illness is a choice and not something that happens to us.
Do we respect and appreciate all of our creation(s)?
Restore the red flag tradition.
Our true nature is LIGHT. Our body is our vehicle here on earth, a kind of mobile home, house or camper. This vehicle works at its best when it is perfectly balanced. Just like a wheel that needs to be able to roll well over the road. If there’s something wrong here, for example by poorly accessible roads – read: our often whimsical, turbulent lives, or that you do not use or maintain the vehicle properly, then we say that something’s not right with our body – read: sick, pain. The vehicle mostly will ask for repair. Discomfort in our body functions as an alarm system. Body communicates with mind. If we find the root cause of the dis-order or dis-ease, we’ll be able to perform the repair adequately. This disturbance, somatic in nature is 99 % caused by the mind, read: psycho-emotional, psycho-somatic in nature. 1% passed on by our ancestors (genetically).
We then seek healing (read: recover balance) at various levels of existence: physical, emotional, mental, psychological and spiritual. But this is only as an emergency aid, a First Aid for Discomfort. Not much different from the western variant, but in a much friendlier and more natural way. After this, we search and understand the message that the body sent (to the mind). This the basic starting point we carry out the repair. Basically it´s only about de-programming of various automatons, The worst one is “the illusion of knowing what is good and not good“.
Ultimately this illusion is based on these 5 fundamental diseases: greed, anger, jealousy, arrogance and ignorance. (Medicine for these are respectively: generosity, love, openness, peace and wisdom.) Or in modern terms: the PIMPBAL, these 7 difficult to handle hunger for (police) Power (applause), Idolatry, Money or Matter in general, Pleasure (in all forms), Brainwash (programmed by environment), Attachment (to people and things), Lazyness. believing in one’s own created mental image(s). These dis-eases manifest themselves in body and mind. The most vulnerable part of the body will be first harassed.
Human is designed with fundamental need to worship, expand (unite surroundings) and make war (to expand). It is very difficult to lead them in the correct and right direction.
Man is designed with a fundamental need to worship, expand (unite new environments) and make war (to expand). It is very difficult to maintain and guide these needs in the right direction.
We take or make and maintain our decisions every moment of our lives. Be aware why our eyes, tongue and feet are taking a direction. Therefore we can say that we create our lives, with all the trimmings, including the possible unwanted effects such as illness and pain. So illness is a choice and not something that happens to us.
The point now is that we need to respect and appreciate our creation(s). We must then investigate what and why we have chosen or taken care of this (unpleasant or nice) creation. We assist you in this search.
Agapé Acupuncture & Massage (from now on referred to as AAM) is like a garage that offers a wide range of mainstream and alternative medicine for individuals and companies, including (cosmetic) acupuncture and miscellaneous kind of massages.that provide relaxation, healing and self-awareness.
In this respect, we are mere biological acupuncture and massage devices that must be controlled by the user, which is you.
We use energy (Qi, Ki, Chi, inner strength) and the self-healing ability of the body. So that the receiver can heal and awaken, get more insight into the essence of existence and in themselves and in particular manage pain (relief).
Our method is holistic in nature, which means that attention is given to body, mind and soul.
The receiver heals him/herself and remain primarily responsible for his/her own well-being. AAM only assists. We are willing to go to the utmost, you too? To what price are you are you willing to get rid of your complaint? Are you willing to change or even give up your lifestyles and beliefs that were responsible for your pain, inconvenience, dis-ease and / or sickness?
For every thought we hold and believe, leads to conviction. It has always has its repercussions in our body. These thoughts take a certain form, manifests something somewhere in our body. In other words, our body testifies our beliefs.
It is our mission to remain honest and trustworthy, to keep our banner of Love, Righteousness and Justice high. The treatments focus naturally on the unique, individual needs.
In ancient times, the Chinese doctors live by the number of people he takes care of and can keep healthy. Because transport and communication lines are not so advanced as now, these people are also living within walking or bicycle distance from the doctor. If someone gets sick in his circle, a red flag is raised. This gives the doctor a signal that someone is ill in the house and he also knows that no income can be obtained from this house. The doctor needs therefore quickly expel the disease so that the flag can be lowered down and get paid again. So if all of his people get and stay sick he will be bankrupt. This tradition can also be continued with us.
Compensation? Ideally, Indians exchange. A session lasts at least 1.5 hours and usually costs € 75, – or one euro per minute.
Money may not be a barrier for treatment. If there is evidence of insufficient financial resources, we can make other arrangements.
But since the foundation of the APAICI foundation on January 1, 2018, all treatments below are FREE. However, donation for the foundation is very welcome. | 2019-04-22T02:39:52 | http://www.agapeacupunctuur.nl/?lang=en |

Poland’s grand eastern city looks destined to be the last discovered by travellers. A one time bastion of Jewish culture, and now lively University city, Stuart Wadsworth finds plenty to recommend in Lublin.
Long in the shadows of hipper, more well-known destinations in Poland such as Krakow, Wroclaw and Warsaw, Lublin has traditionally languished, economically and politically, out of the limelight, happy to be a big fish in the small pond of eastern Poland. In recent years however, Lublin has seen an upturn in fortunes, as European Union money has flooded into its coffers, infrastructure has improved and the architecture has been spruced up.
The city today is a confident, young, vibrant and cultural place with plenty to offer those (still relatively few) visitors who make the effort to travel here for a weekend break.
The town’s Rynek is ripe with tourist potential, ringed as it is with an array of cool bars, imaginative restaurants and relaxing cafes, and there is enough here to keep you busy – especially if you are interested in Jewish history – for several days.
Lublin is beginning to wake up to its potential as a premier destination in Poland at last, and put its painful history behind it.
You’ll no doubt head through one of Lublin’s main historical ‘gates’ – Krakowska or Grodzka – on arrival, and into the cobbled alleyways of its old town. These winding streets are full of life in summer, and you can soak up the history in and around the Rynek (market square). At the Rynek’s centre is the 1781 neo-classical Old Town Hall, beneath which can be found the fascinating Lublin Underground Trail, which tells the story of the city with the aid of scale models and photos including the story of the fire of Lublin in 1719.
Visit the 16th-century cathedral nearby to see the ‘whispering room’; an acoustic vestry famous for its ability to project whispers.
The Castle should be on anyone’s hitlist, not so much for its exterior beauty (it was rebuilt as a prison in the 1820’s) as for its interior, especially the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, which contains a beautiful set of frescoes, perhaps the finest examples of medieval wall paintings in Poland.
Next on your itinerary should be a tour of Lublin’s Jewish sights, starting with the old Jewish district around ul. Lubartowska. Here you’ll find the only synagogue in town, and nearby the ‘Yeshiva’ – the school of sages of Lublin, or rabbi school, where rabbis were trained and dispatched all across Europe to teach before the war.
Finally Majdanek stands as a stark and austere monument to man’s inhumanity to man. Unlike the other well-known Nazi-run concentration camps which were mostly hidden away from public view in remote locations, Majdanek was situated on the edge of a major city, and visitors today can read accounts of the horrors that took place in full view of the local populace – around 80,000 to 100,000 died in just over two years of operation. You will not find the crowds here that you do in, say Auschwitz (indeed you may walk around for half a day with only a few crows for company, particularly out of season).
Lublin is a great city for cycling in and around and hiring a bike (cheap at around 30zł/8 Euro a day) will certainly open up some interesting options off the beaten track. First up, the skansen, 5km out in the west of the city. Over an undulating terrain of 25 hectares, this reconstruction of middle-ages rural Poland is a delight, and you can while away several hours here, exploring old wooden buildings, windmills, manor houses and even an orthodox church. Bring a picnic, have a campfire in the woods and watch locals sing folk songs on balmy summer evenings. Next door the pretty botanical gardens are worth a look too. Afterwards head to the south of the city through the forest (Las Stary Gaj) to the lake (Zalew Zemborzycki). Popular with fishermen, sailors, swimmers, cyclists, walkers and anyone who fancies a break from the city, this is a great place to chill out in the summer and unwind. Bring a book.
Further afield, Kozłówka makes a pleasant day-trip; famous for the Zamoyski Museum housed in a sumptuous late-Baroque palace, the main reason to come here is to see the Socialist-realist art gallery, a great place to see that most politicized and discredited (yet still oddly fascinating) of styles, depicting various ‘glorious’ scenes of delirious workers interspersed with portraits of their infallible leaders (mainly from years 1949-56).
Also nearby (90 mins by bus) is the stunning Kazimierz Dolny, probably the best-preserved medieval village in Poland, surrounded by picturesque hills and situated by the Wisła river.
Most of your time spent in Lublin will involve strolling around and enjoying the many cafes and bars around the old town, but for a town of its relative international obscurity, Lublin has a lively cultural life. Famed throughout Poland for its theatre tradition, don’t leave the city without checking out a performance – the main venue being Teatr im Osterwy.
Filharmonia Lubelska stages classical and contemporary performances and the little Teatr im H Ch Andersena stages puppet shows (good if you don’t understand Polish!).
Lublin is not blessed with a wide variety of accommodation and it certainly lacks on the budget front, but Hostel Lublin tries to make amends for this with cheap and clean dorms, a common room with internet, free breakfast and friendly English-speaking staff.
Moving up the scale, Hotel Waksman, just inside Grodzka Gate in the old town, is a retro hotel which offers comfort and style in spades with faux antiques, historic portraits and some rooms with great views of the castle.
If you really feel like splashing out, check in at Grand Hotel Lublianka, a century-old pile which boasts a Turkish bath and sauna for all guests, one of the best restaurants in town and floor-to-ceiling charm.
The number of good bars and restaurants in Lublin has proliferated in the last five years, so much so that you’ll find it hard to make a choice where to go in and around the Rynek. 16 Stołow (16 Tables) does a fine job of pretending to be in a much bigger city, and its refined and elegant surrounds are matched by an eclectic European menu including everything from English style fish and chips with mushy peas to roasted fillet of duck with orange sauce.
A great place to try Polish cuisine is Old Pub. Less of a pub than a regal dining experience, this place serves up ‘staropolska’ (old Polish) cuisine in sumptuous surrounds, and it won’t cost you a king’s ransom.
Nearby, Magia sprawls over several rooms and out into a summer garden, each area beautifully decorated. Fresh and tasty ingredients are used to create an imaginative European-influenced menu. To complete the Jewish-tour experience, try Mandragora, one of the finest kosher restaurants in Poland, whose menu includes all manner of mouth-watering Jewish specialities.
For cheap and tasty eats, Zadora serves up bumper-sized pancakes for less than 5 Euro (15zl).
Lublin’s nightlife scene is no match for Warsaw’s and Krakow’s, but in and around Krakowskie Przedmiescie in the new town, there are a cluster of bars where you can hang out and party till dawn if you so wish.
Try Kwadrat for a few local brews in relaxed surrounds with a bit of blues music and friendly locals for company. Otherwise, the spacious Klubokawiarnia Archiwum is a great place to go and meet some young Lubliners, as it’s slap-bang in the middle of studentville.
Back in the Old Town, try Grodzka 15 for some locally-produced fine ale (made on the premises) or Ceska Pivnice for some Czech brews in Czech-style wooden clad surrounds.
Built for Euro 2012, Lublin’s International Airport links the city with several European hotspots, including London, Dublin, Munich, Oslo – and of course Warsaw. You can order an airport transfer in advance via Book Taxi Poland.
Lublin is well connected to all the major cities in Poland by frequent trains and buses, and is a regional transport hub for Lubelskie. Krakow is 5 hours distant, and Lviv in Ukraine about the same.
Online information about Lublin is pretty scant, at least in English. Lonely Planet’s website has a chapter on eastern Poland that is your best bet for reliable online info.
Both Rough Guides and Lonely Planet do solid travel guides on Poland, but if you are looking for some more poetic travel reading, then Jonathan Safran Foer’s Everything Is Illuminated gives a great insight into the fate of east European Jews, and most interestingly, the history of ‘shtetls’, Jewish communities that existed in the Polish/Ukranian borderlands for some four hundred years until WW2. Bruno Shultz, another Jewish writer, wrote beautiful dream-like novellas and short stories, and was born in Drohobycz, in present-day Ukraine but then Poland. His collection The Street of Crocodiles & Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass is the best choice. Although not set in this region, Joseph Konrad’s Under Western Eyes, is the writer’s most eastern-European novel; often thought of as English, he was born Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski to Polish parents in Russian-dominated Ukraine, 100km from Lublin. Finally The Magician of Lublin is an immensely readable account of a talented performer corrupted by his dreams of the big time. Isaac Bashevis Singer wields the pen.

Nice to read about Lublin as I’ve wondered about going there since i’ve visited Wroclaw, Krakow, Warsaw, Rzesow and Sopot. Thanks for the comprehensive wrap of Lublin.
Staying in Hotel Victoria on ul. Lipowska not far from the old town … good fuctional clean hotel for 200 pln a night for two and 30 pln for parking. Centrum Spotkania Cultura worth checking out. Going to visit castle and chapel this morning. Drink perla, locally brewed beer, and eat cebularz – a tasty onion covered bread snack – when you’re here. | 2019-04-23T00:06:06 | https://www.urbantravelblog.com/guide/lublin/ |
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., July 30, 2012 -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has partnered with two California State University (CSU) schools to sponsor a year-long student project that successfully demonstrated the collaboration between unmanned aerial and ground vehicles.
On June 2, engineering students from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo) and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) gathered at the experimental flight field outside of San Luis Obispo, Calif., for a demonstration that marked the program's conclusion this year.
During the successful demonstration flight, an unmanned aerial vehicle provided an accurate geolocation solution to a ground vehicle. The aircraft located a target that resembled a large, red exercise ball, and transmitted its coordinates to a ground station, which then directed a ground vehicle to navigate to the target in the field.
To prepare for the demonstration, Cal Poly students from San Luis Obispo enhanced a fixed-wing remote control aircraft with sensors and a communications link, while students from the Pomona campus outfitted a ground vehicle with complementary sensors and communication abilities. Approximately 50 students from the two CSU campuses participated in the program, forming virtual teams to remotely collaborate on the project.
"These students rose to the challenges and devised innovative solutions while gaining multidisciplinary skills that will be useful throughout their careers," said Charles Volk, vice president and chief technology officer of Northrop Grumman's Navigation Systems Division. "Northrop Grumman was excited to be involved in this hands-on learning opportunity for these students, especially considering the pressing need for next-generation engineers who possess the specialized technical expertise sought by industry."
"This kind of collaboration is a win-win situation for both universities and industry," said Subodh Bhandari, an associate professor of aerospace engineering at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. "Universities receive much-needed financial support and expertise from industry that are essential when looking to incorporate advanced topics into the curriculum. In return, industry gets a workforce that is ready for a higher level of responsibility than is typical for entry-level graduates."
Northrop Grumman provided some supplies and designed the program's curriculum. Additionally, Northrop Grumman employee volunteers served as mentors by critiquing the project's student-led design approach.
The program leveraged three Northrop Grumman core capabilities: unmanned vehicles, sensors and geolocation, and distributed systems integrated through software.
Northrop Grumman and the two CSU campuses plan to continue the partnership in the next academic year by building on the initial project concept. Northrop Grumman is an ongoing contributor to science, technology, engineering and mathematics educational activities and initiatives in the local community. | 2019-04-24T12:00:53 | https://news.northropgrumman.com/news/releases/photo-release-northrop-grumman-sponsors-collaborative-engineering-project-by-california-state-university-students |
Absolute’s “unfair advantage” was on display at RSA 2017 last week, and our team had valuable conversations with customers, partners, industry leaders and industry watchers. We enjoyed enlightened conversations about enterprise security concerns, business priorities, and best practices to address growing security issues.
We talked a lot about visibility: Businesses simply don’t have the visibility they need to see and control endpoint agents. The result is the growing risk that insiders and attackers will compromise the security controls businesses have deployed to protect users and endpoints. It happens every day, many times a day – and our job is to stop it from happening.
Yes, yes we can. Every company wants more visibility into what’s really happening with their security profile, and the persistence concept of “always there” resonated with attendees looking for viable solutions.
Absolute’s persistent self-healing endpoint security gives enterprises the ability to reduce the dwell time of a dark asset, reducing the likelihood of becoming a breach vector and – if it does happen – offering real-time remediation of breaches at the source. Absolute’s cloud-based platform puts IT and security professionals in total command of devices, data and applications — whether on or off the network.
“Always on” goes hand-in-hand with “always there” because Persistence is embedded in device firmware/BIOS. Many people don’t realize this – we’re already there.
It’s what gives us the ability to provide visibility and remediate the problem of dark endpoints. It’s also how we help clients with general IT concerns – like asset management, device workflow onboarding/off-boarding, risk management/compliance, auditing, and tracking, reporting, and remediation.
See how we can help you improve your security profile: https://www.absolute.com/en. | 2019-04-19T18:33:25 | https://blogs.absolute.com/recap-absolute-insights-rsa-2017/ |

Release Management now supports robust in-the-box multi-machine deployment. You can now orchestrate deployments across multiple machines, perform rolling updates while ensuring high availability of the application throughout.
Agent based deployment capability relies on the same build and deployment agents. However, unlike the current approach, where you install the build and deployment agents on a set of proxy servers in an agent pool and drive deployments to remote target servers, you install the agent on each of your target servers directly and drive rolling deployment to those servers.
Agent based deployment feature is currently in early adopter phase. Submit requests for participation and suggestions here.
Deployment group is a logical group of targets (machines) with agents installed on each of them. Deployment groups represent your physical environments like single box Dev, multi-machine QA or farm of machines for UAT/Prod. They also specify the security context for your physical environments.
Here are a few screenshots to explain how this experience is shaping up.
Create your ‘Deployment Group’, register your machines with the cmdlet.
Author release definition: If you are deploying to farm of servers, you can use deployment configuration options viz., one target at a time, or half the targets at a time, or deploy to all targets at once, or use custom value.
Deploy: view live logs for each server, download logs for all servers. Track your deployments steps for each server using Release log view.
Manage: Track the deployments down to each machine. Tag the machine in the group so that you can deploy to the targets having specific tags.
Bootstraping agents: We have made bootstrapping the agents on the target simpler. You can just copy-paste the cmdlet appropriate for the OS and it will take care of downloading, installation and configuring the agent against the deployment group. It even has an option to generate the cmdlet with ‘Personal Access Token’ with right scope so that you don’t have to.
If it is Azure, you can do it on-demand using Team Services extension for the VM or use Azure PowerShell/CLI to add the extension which will bootstrap the deployment agent. Or you can automate using resource extension in the Azure template json.
We plan to enhance ‘Azure Resource Group’ task to dynamically bootstrap agents on the newly provisioned / pre-existing Virtual Machines on Azure.
With this you can use the same proven cross-platform agent and its pull-based execution model to easily drive deployments on a large number of servers no matter which domain they are on, without having to worry about the myriad of pre-requisites. | 2019-04-19T01:21:22 | https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/deployment-groups/ |
To select the one who would get the job, the company asked each of them to go out and actually work on the backhoe for a day. Jim felt his chance for the job disappear because he had never even driven a tractor, let alone used a backhoe. When he went out, he did not know how to start the tractor.
One of the other backhoe operators had to show him. He managed through the day, and to his surprise, did better than the others. He was given the job.
Who would you get to do the training, and why? Most construction laborers and helpers work full time and do physically demanding work some work at great heights or outdoors in all weather conditions.
Describe what the training might entail. OJT, classroom, or a combination?
He managed through the day, and to his surprise, did better than the others.
Bill said, "You need to be able to feel any restriction. Further, the company felt that the operators could learn the job through trial and error.
Jim worked as a laborer for a gas utility Why do you want to work in public utilities interview questions and preparation tips for a job public utilities worker shortage due to retirement. He cut through his first water line about two weeks after starting his new job.
You will be okay. He initially believed that the best way was to fill the bucket as much as possible before lifting it out of the hole and emptying it. He would wiggle the bucket back and forth until it was submerged and then curl it.
When it came out of the hole, the earth would be falling off the sides.
This job was not so difficult after all, he thought. He cut through his first water line about two weeks after starting his new job.
Going into a deep, muddy hole did not make the crew happy. Water lines were usually six to eight feet down, so Jim would dig until about four feet and then try to be more careful. It was then that he pulled up some telephone lines that were only about three feet deep. Realizing that more was involved in operating a backhoe than he first had thought, he sought out Bill Granger, who was known to have broken a water line only twice in his 15 years.
It was said that he was so good that he could dig underneath the gas lines—a claim that Jim doubted.
The way to do that is to have more than one of your levers open at the same time. Operating the bucket lever and the boom lever at the same time reduces the power and causes the machine to stop rather than cut through a line of any type.
The difference now was that he knew immediately when he broke a line. He could feel the extra pull, whereas in the past, he found out either by seeing water gushing up or by hearing the crew chief swearing at him. He was getting better. Jim never did become as good as Bill Granger. We will write a custom essay sample on American Films and Backhoe Operators or any similar topic only for you We will write a custom essay sample on American Films and Backhoe Operators or any similar topic only for you Order now In fact, two years later, he applied for another job as gas repairperson and was promoted, but the training as a gas repairperson was not much better.
What are the potential costs to this lack of training? Why do you think the company operated in this manner? What type of training would you recommend: OJT, classroom, or a combination? Describe what the training might entail.
What type of training environment would you provide? Who would you get to do the training, and why? Would you consider purchasing a training program for backhoe operators? | 2019-04-24T02:36:15 | https://phuquoctravel.biz/term-papers/jim-worked-as-a-laborer-for-a-gas-utility.php |
Documentation is a little thin here. Does anyone have a working example of how to get a file (or files) properly copied into the destination image? Specifically I'm trying to get a binary copied into /sbin on the target.
3. So the answer to the copy question is pretty simple. Simply add a line calling `cp /tmp/overlay/myfile` to the destination folder of your choice. Place this where it suits and optionally test the parameters passed to the script for build type/board name etc.
Hope this helps someone else. Will add to my upcoming documentation PR.

Like the group 14 elements, the lightest member of group 15, nitrogen, is found in nature as the free element, and the heaviest elements have been known for centuries because they are easily isolated from their ores. Although nitrogen is the most abundant element in the atmosphere, it was the last of the pnicogens (Group 15 elements) to be obtained in pure form. In 1772, Daniel Rutherford, working with Joseph Black (who discovered CO2), noticed that a gas remained when CO2 was removed from a combustion reaction. Antoine Lavoisier called the gas azote, meaning “no life,” because it did not support life. When it was discovered that the same element was also present in nitric acid and nitrate salts such as KNO3 (nitre), it was named nitrogen. About 90% of the nitrogen produced today is used to provide an inert atmosphere for processes or reactions that are oxygen sensitive, such as the production of steel, petroleum refining, and the packaging of foods and pharmaceuticals.
In contrast, Earth’s crust is relatively poor in nitrogen. The only important nitrogen ores are large deposits of KNO3 and NaNO3 in the deserts of Chile and Russia, which were apparently formed when ancient alkaline lakes evaporated. Consequently, virtually all nitrogen compounds produced on an industrial scale use atmospheric nitrogen as the starting material. Phosphorus, which constitutes only about 0.1% of Earth’s crust, is much more abundant in ores than nitrogen. Like aluminum and silicon, phosphorus is always found in combination with oxygen, and large inputs of energy are required to isolate it.
Like carbon, nitrogen has four valence orbitals (one 2s and three 2p), so it can participate in at most four electron-pair bonds by using sp3 hybrid orbitals. Unlike carbon, however, nitrogen does not form long chains because of repulsive interactions between lone pairs of electrons on adjacent atoms. These interactions become important at the shorter internuclear distances encountered with the smaller, second-period elements of groups 15, 16, and 17. Stable compounds with N–N bonds are limited to chains of no more than three N atoms, such as the azide ion (N3−).
Nitrogen is the only pnicogen that normally forms multiple bonds with itself and other second-period elements, using π overlap of adjacent np orbitals. Thus the stable form of elemental nitrogen is N2, whose N≡N bond is so strong (DN≡N = 942 kJ/mol) compared with the N–N and N=N bonds (DN–N = 167 kJ/mol; DN=N = 418 kJ/mol) that all compounds containing N–N and N=N bonds are thermodynamically unstable with respect to the formation of N2. In fact, the formation of the N≡N bond is so thermodynamically favored that virtually all compounds containing N–N bonds are potentially explosive.
Again in contrast to carbon, nitrogen undergoes only two important chemical reactions at room temperature: it reacts with metallic lithium to form lithium nitride, and it is reduced to ammonia by certain microorganisms. At higher temperatures, however, N2 reacts with more electropositive elements, such as those in group 13, to give binary nitrides, which range from covalent to ionic in character. Like the corresponding compounds of carbon, binary compounds of nitrogen with oxygen, hydrogen, or other nonmetals are usually covalent molecular substances.
Few binary molecular compounds of nitrogen are formed by the direct reaction of the elements.
At elevated temperatures, nitrogen reacts with highly electropositive metals to form ionic nitrides, such as Li3N and Ca3N2. These compounds consist of ionic lattices formed by Mn+ and N3− ions. Just as boron forms interstitial borides and carbon forms interstitial carbides, with less electropositive metals nitrogen forms a range of interstitial nitrides, in which nitrogen occupies holes in a close-packed metallic structure. Like the interstitial carbides and borides, these substances are typically very hard, high-melting materials that have metallic luster and conductivity.
Nitrogen also reacts with semimetals at very high temperatures to produce covalent nitrides, such as Si3N4 and BN, which are solids with extended covalent network structures similar to those of graphite or diamond. Consequently, they are usually high melting and chemically inert materials.
About 10% of the ammonia produced annually is used to make fibers and plastics that contain amide bonds, such as nylons and polyurethanes, while 5% is used in explosives, such as ammonium nitrate, TNT (trinitrotoluene), and nitroglycerine. Large amounts of anhydrous liquid ammonia are used as fertilizer.
Nitrogen forms two other important binary compounds with hydrogen. Hydrazoic acid (HN3), also called hydrogen azide, is a colorless, highly toxic, and explosive substance. Hydrazine (N2H4) is also potentially explosive; it is used as a rocket propellant and to inhibit corrosion in boilers.
B, C, and N all react with transition metals to form interstitial compounds that are hard, high-melting materials.
For each reaction, explain why the given products form when the reactants are heated.
As an alkali metal, strontium is a strong reductant. If the other reactant can act as an oxidant, then a redox reaction will occur. Nitrous oxide contains nitrogen in a low oxidation state (+1), so we would not normally consider it an oxidant. Nitrous oxide is, however, thermodynamically unstable (ΔH°f > 0 and ΔG°f > 0), and it can be reduced to N2, which is a stable species. Consequently, we predict that a redox reaction will occur.
When a substance is heated, a decomposition reaction probably will occur, which often involves the release of stable gases. In this case, ammonium nitrite contains nitrogen in two different oxidation states (−3 and +3), so an internal redox reaction is a possibility. Due to its thermodynamic stability, N2 is the probable nitrogen-containing product, whereas we predict that H and O will combine to form H2O.
Again, this is probably a thermal decomposition reaction. If one element is in an usually high oxidation state and another in a low oxidation state, a redox reaction will probably occur. Lead nitrate contains the Pb2+ cation and the nitrate anion, which contains nitrogen in its highest possible oxidation state (+5). Hence nitrogen can be reduced, and we know that lead can be oxidized to the +4 oxidation state. Consequently, it is likely that lead(II) nitrate will decompose to lead(IV) oxide and nitrogen dioxide when heated. Even though PbO2 is a powerful oxidant, the release of a gas such as NO2 can often drive an otherwise unfavorable reaction to completion (Le Châtelier’s principle). Note, however, that PbO2 will probably decompose to PbO at high temperatures.
Nitrogen behaves chemically like nonmetals, Nitrogen forms compounds in nine different oxidation states. Nitrogen does not form stable catenated compounds because of repulsions between lone pairs of electrons on adjacent atoms, but it does form multiple bonds with other second-period atoms. Nitrogen reacts with electropositive elements to produce solids that range from covalent to ionic in character. Reaction with electropositive metals produces ionic nitrides, reaction with less electropositive metals produces interstitial nitrides, and reaction with semimetals produces covalent nitrides. | 2019-04-25T12:02:02 | https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/General_Chemistry/Map%3A_Chemistry_(Zumdahl_and_Decoste)/18%3A_The_Representative_Elements/18.08%3A_The_Chemistry_of_Nitrogen |

But all the eight data pages are not created at once; they are created depending on data demand. What are the different types of collation sensitivity?
As mentioned before, DBMS provides a systematic and organized way of storing, managing and retrieving from a collection of logically related information.
So as soon as the eight pages are consumed, it allocates a new extent with data pages. Actually you can normalize database to fifth normal form. So in order to implement this, we have one more table Employee Technology which is linked to the primary key of Employee and Technology table. A sweet summary and you will rock. Now, some sql server 2008 interview questions by shivprasad koirala down the line a third party application has to be integrated with this file.
These two smaller bits of information form one record of the above given table. Given below is a sample of many-to-many relationship. It does not limit the number of connections but makes the connection request go slow.
However, the advantage of this architecture is that your server can be of a low configuration. In the above example, city1 and city2 are repeating. But believe this book, answering three normal forms will put you in a decent shape during an interview. But Shivorasad think no matter how much experience you have, an interview is a different ball game. So Asset entity has one-to-many relationship between them as the ER model shows below.
Add some more questions sithmichel Sep 2: The above table shows some sample byy. Well detailed and thought out. The second normal form states that each field in a multiple field primary derver table must be directly sql server 2008 interview questions by shivprasad koirala to the entire primary key. What is the difference between a file and a database? This set of rules is known as Normalization.
There is a huge similarity between Fourth and Fifth normal form, i. DB What are the different sections in Page? A non-key field should not depend on another Non-key field.
This is a simple text file, which was designed by a programmer for a specific application. Collation refers to a set of rules that determine how data is sorted and compared. However, there must be at least one language whose statements are expressible, per some well-defined syntax, as character strings and that is comprehensive in supporting all the following items:. These smaller pieces of information can be maintained with less redundancy.
It works fine in the boundary of the application. In order for these tables to be in First normal form, you have to modify the table structure as follows. Data rows are sql server 2008 interview questions by shivprasad koirala your actual row data is stored. Moreover too much optimization could hurt your app performance, so I would extend paragraph about “denormalization” with a couple of examples.
In other words, each non-key field should be a fact about all the fields in the primary key. NET programmer working on projects often stumbles on this question, which is but obvious. Introduction In this article we will go through the most basic and frequently asked interview questions on SQL Server. Manish Chadha Aug Can files qualify as a database? Excellent Article Ralph in Boise May Q What are page splits?
For every data row, there is a row offset which points to that data row.

The very small hummingbird was the Magenta-throated Woodstar, but at first glance I could not see any magenta in its throat. It took a change in my position so the light wood hit the feathers at the correct angle and reveal its beautiful color.
Magenta-throated Woodstar hummingbird in the Monteverde rainforest, Costa Rica.
Magenta-throated Woodstar hummingbird in the Monteverde rainforest, Costa Rica showing structural color.
Iridescent colors in hummingbirds come from light hitting very small structures in their feathers that reflect light of a specific color and do so in a very well-defined direction. This is called “structural color” to differentiate it from “pigment color” that reflects colored light in every direction.
Forgetting about the physics, the birder in me was very happy because I had not seen this species before, and the photographer in me was even happier because I got to share it with you!
If you have seen this species in Costa Rica, let me know where and when in the year so we can learn about its distribution.
I was in Monteverde many years ago (oh, that scary bus ride—has it gotten any better?) and saw many different species of hummingbirds around feeders at a special hummingbird area. I’m sorry not to be able to remember which species I saw then. The only one we have up here east of the Mississippi is the Ruby Throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), whose coloring is similar to your Magenta-throated Woodstar. Thanks for bringing back the memories—and for your lovely photograph.
Thanks to you Linda! Curiously the Ruby throated gets down here during your winter. However, I have not seen it often. I guess it spreads out among several countries.
Great shots. Love to see it some day.
Thanks! Now you know where. | 2019-04-21T10:05:26 | https://eduardolibby.com/2018/04/01/structural-color/ |

We talk to producer, and founder of The Pitch, Luke Walton about the competition and its origins as well as one of its recent success stories Promise.
Luke Walton is the founder of The Pitch, a competition for filmmakers in the UK which offers (amongst many other things, including masterclasses) up to £30,000 in assistance for projects pitched. Now in its tenth year, and with deadlines for the next competition now open, we asked him about the competition and its goals to see it from his perspective.
Do you think you can break down what The Pitch offers to filmmakers into a single sentence?
We offer the support emerging talent needs – advice, network, development, skills and, critically, a cash budget to make it happen without being a fundraiser!
What was the genesis of The Pitch? Was there a particular moment, or event, that sparked the idea or had it been a long time coming?
In 2007, I ran a small film festival in Manchester for young filmmakers. It was a great success but in reviewing the event to consider what we would do next I discovered that the concept behind The Pitch had been the original proposal. I love film festivals, but this concept offered real support and had such potential I chose to divert energy into developing this idea into a working viable model.
People often talk about how it’s getting even harder to get off the ground in the industry today. The Pitch is obviously here to help but do you see any bigger, long-term, solutions, such as increased government arts funding, or are we going to have to redefine how we think about filmmaking altogether going into the future?
Education and training are key. With proper development, real talent will emerge and ultimately that will attract investment. However that always leaves the catch 22 – to be acknowledged: make a film, to be funded: show a film you have made! So there is clearly a place for more funding opportunities too. If the government were to commission us to apply additional funding we would see ten short films every year, all of them from raw emerging talent that deserves this opportunity.
People also talk a lot about how the internet has changed filmmaking today, particularly by “democratising” the process more. The Pitch incorporates a public vote into itself, what does the democratic aspect of it mean to you?
Filmmakers want their ideas and vision to have the oxygen of an audience and, as a small organisation, we also need that to get the word out about this opportunity. However we moderate the public vote with the results from our internal panel – an element of democracy with industry experience and expertise mixed in is an excellent cocktail.
What’s the winning mentality for The Pitch? What makes judges stand up and take notice of an idea more than anything else?
Story is king! Next comes telling a story that matters to the filmmaker – one which has genuine investment. When it comes to a particular mentality then I think a key skill is to know when to fight for your idea or artistic vision and when to not just listen but to hear and respond to critique and feedback.
Recently released, and hard-hitting, short Promise was made with assistance from The Pitch. What do you think it is about Promise that makes it so promising?
Promise is a really smart adaptation – an apparently simple story and yet ancient and profound, brought into the everyday contemporary world to devastating effect.
If I’m not mistaken, Promise wasn’t even the winner; but rather came about via partial financing from a runner up fund. When did that start and are there plans to extend it into the future?
Promise stood out to me as an outstanding concept and together with one of our judges, and the film’s director Nev Pierce, we set about seeking the independent funding. We have tried to offer additional funds to our runners up, depending on our own resources. Sometimes, these have been more than other competitions offer as the “match funding” they expect to become short films. But we are investing in filmmakers, not fundraisers. The more funds I can secure, the more films we will make – bring it on!
There’s a biblical connection to Promise and the rules for the upcoming Pitch competition also outline a biblical theme. How did that come about?
The Pitch project was established by, and still receives some of its ongoing support from, a Christian Charity that was interested to see a wider number of people retelling Bible Stories; particularly within the arts. Actually it makes a good fit for the industry, offering source material that is in the common domain and the challenge of adaptation is an industry-wide one. And the most successful for receiving top awards – 74% of best film Oscars go to adaptations.
What would your key piece of advice be to someone thinking about entering The Pitch competition, now or in the future?
Its all about the story, but do your research. Make something you really care about and remember the short format requires really careful thought. The adage about “not having time to write a short letter, so here is a long one” so often applies to the concepts submitted to us. Tell us about the film we will see, not just the wide ranging and epic context; whether that applies or not!

You can find out more about Nev Pierce and the terrific short Promise on his website here or in our interview with him here. | 2019-04-22T09:58:25 | http://cinemajam.com/mag/interviews/luke-walton-the-pitch |
On Wednesday, SITU Research, an interdisciplinary practice within the Brooklyn-based firm SITU, launched a new collaboration with Amnesty International detailing the systematic destruction of the Rohingya Muslim population and its villages by the Myanmar military. This interactive digital platform weaves together evidence collected from maps, satellite images, testimonies, as well as verified photographs and videos to bring visibility to the atrocities.
Designed as a map-based narrative, the platform zeros in on the weeks leading up to the violence that started on August 25, 2017 against the Rohingya people in the northern Rakhine State. It then unveils how and where the military deployed their abusive efforts as well as the recent construction taking place on top of the destroyed villages.
In parallel with the platform, Amnesty released a 190-page report citing 13 Myanmar military and police officials as having played integral roles in these violent crimes. The human rights group claims to have evidence that crimes against humanity have been committed against the minority, and have forced over 702,000 people—more than 80 percent the area’s Rohingya population—to flee into Bangladesh. The intensive research shown in the written report and storied on the platform is based on over 400 interviews as well as expert forensic and weapons analysis on the military’s “clearance operations” following the initial attacks.
This is not the first comprehensive account of ethnic cleansing that SITU has helped make public. In late 2016, they teamed up with Amnesty to release their first interactive project together, a digital platform that charted 171 sites where war crimes were committed against civilians in the Jebel Marra region of Sudan.
Brad Samuels, a founding partner of SITU Research, said his team originally got involved with Amnesty in order to increase public accessibility to this type of information. With substantial visual evidence, they wanted to present a new form of reporting that leverages the benefits of interactive media.
Samuels leads SITU Research’s Spatial Practices as Evidence and Advocacy (SPEA) projects, which use data visualization and satellite mapping to advocate for awareness on human rights abuses around the world. | 2019-04-23T03:52:16 | http://techplusexpo.com/situ-research-amnesty-internationals-new-interactive-platform-maps-atrocities-myanmar/ |
I AM NOT GOOD AT FLY-FISHING. At first I thought it was a matter of skill; as any angler will tell you (and tell you), a good deal of experience is necessary to master casting the line and determining precisely where and how to drop the fly. (And don’t get them started on what kind of fly.) But I tried! I stood on the rocky banks of Holy Ghost Creek in the Pecos Mountains, sent out a glorious cast, and … snagged my fly in a ponderosa pine, then in a patch of sweet mint. I repositioned and relaxed. I breathed in and then out. I tried and tried, then I pouted and stomped and, eventually, cried. I blamed myself. I blamed my reluctant instructor (i.e., my fiancé). Most of all, I blamed the fish.
Later, I learned it isn’t about my lack of skill at all. I’m temperamentally unsuited to fly-fishing. It took me years to realize, but for most of its practitioners, this sport is about doing something in an intentionally difficult way, meeting the challenge of out-smarting a battle-hardened lower vertebrate while experiencing hours of glorious solitude aside or amid a mountain stream. Me? I am intensely social and perpetually hungry. Until recently, I used “catch-and-release” exclusively to describe my dating strategy.
This is unfortunate, because New Mexico has prime-quality trout-fishing streams, and an extraordinary number of them are on public land, accessible to all for only the cost of a license (go to wildlife.state.nm.us/fishing for details). To bolster a fisher’s chances, the state last year raised and stocked more than four million rainbow and Río Grande cutthroat trout. That’s part of the reason why Field and Stream magazine recently pronounced northern New Mexico “one of the region’s most underappreciated and highly productive fisheries.” Guides, outfitters, and cabins abound in havens like Taos, Chama, and Jémez Springs. Annually, the state issues about 305,000 fishing licenses, and fly-fishing enthusiasts pump $268 million into the economy.
Legendary guide Taylor Streit, founder of the Taos Fly Shop (see “Old Man River"), says this is a stellar year, thanks to a higher-than-normal snowpack. “Fishing after the runoff is generally the best of the season,” he says, but he expects the good times to last into August, when shallow streams sometimes spoil anglers’ dreams.
HONESTLY, TROUT ALL LOOK the same to me as they undulate beneath the surface, stubbornly not taking my fly, but I’ve learned that New Mexico has two distinctive native species that are highly sought after: the Río Grande cutthroat and the Gila trout.
The cutthroat, our official state fish, is a lovely creature, painted with a flaming gold belly, slashed with red at the throat, and stippled with black beauty marks across the tail and spine. The state has been stocking more of them in northern New Mexico, from the Jémez River watershed to the Río Chama and Río Grande. Although some waters are catch-and-release only, many places allow up to two cutthroats for a fine dinner. Still, many fly-fishermen prefer chicken and beef. But I love to eat trout! And I have the perfect little fish spatula to cook it with! I just can’t catch one to save my life.
William Penner is an Albuquerque environmental consultant who spends more than 50 days of the year fly-fishing. Although he says he never eats Río Grande cutthroat, once a year or so he’ll cook a couple of browns or rainbows on a riverbank, seasoning them with garlic, olive oil, lemon, salt, and pepper, then wrapping them in foil and tucking the packet into the embers of a campfire.
New Mexico’s other native, the Gila trout, is an iridescent fish with a coppery gold belly, delicate speckles, and a yellow slash below the jaw. After decades of endangered status, little Gilas are again swimming in tributaries of the Gila River, mostly in the Gila and Aldo Leopold wilderness areas. The recovery is going well enough that the state has expanded fishing to new waters this year. In some places you can keep two of them.
Non-native brown trout thrive in the Río Grande Gorge near Taos, and though they may not be as pretty or as challenging as the native species, they are delicious—and with a bag limit of five per day, browns have great potential for the dinner table.
Most often, though, that dinner table is a lap in a folding chair on the grass. For generations, trout have been a great treat for outdoorsmen and communities along the waters, but fish has never been a primary protein in New Mexico, where beef, pork, and lamb most often take center plate.
Many high-end restaurants serve trout with New Mexico flavoring, and many grocery stores carry it, but what you get is farm-raised trout from out of state. This is true across the country, as states have prohibited the commercial sale of wild fish and game as part of conservation efforts.
“I know that farm-raised fish are getting a bad rap lately but I have yet to hear one bad thing about farm-raised rainbow trout,” says Lane Warner, who is an enthusiastic angler as well as executive chef at Santa Fe’s La Fonda on the Plaza. “Of course, wild trout would be a bit tastier, and knowing that you caught them just makes it even sweeter,” he says, but buying farm-raised fish means you can eat trout any day of the week.
Although it’s increasingly popular, fly-fishing isn’t the only way to land (or not) a local trout in your frying pan. Those of us who are fly-challenged can pull trout with any old rod and reel at Albuquerque’s Tingley Beach, which is stocked with rainbow trout, as are Abiquiú, Fenton, Heron, Navajo, and other lakes. You know, the kind of lakes where you might set up a big camp with a bunch of friends, drink cold beer, catch and keep fat, lazy fish to fry in bacon fat. That’s the kind of fishing that suits me.
If you’ve ever rolled a trout in cornmeal and thrown it in a hot pan, you know it’s hard to improve on tradition. But we found four chefs who have managed to do it, starting with familiar ideas and pushing them to scrumptious new heights.
This dish is a perfect example of the “regional and organic home cooking” promised by this tiny restaurant nestled in an old chapel on the west side of Taos. Chef Meyer is a passionate omnivore obsessed with sustainable agriculture, local meats, and foraged ingredients.
Combine the butter and zest with a pinch of salt and set it aside.
Mix all ingredients through piñons and let batter rest 30 minutes.
Beat two egg whites until stiff, fold into batter.
Fry fritters, 2 tablespoons batter per fritter, in grapeseed or canola oil until crispy and cooked through, approximately 6 minutes.
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and puree until very smooth.
Mix with whisk until all ingredients are incorporated. Heat in small saucepan just before serving, about 5 minutes, until just simmering and slightly thickened.
Open each piece of fish and nestle, skin side down, on a softened cornhusk.
Salt fish and place on a hot grill, husk side down.
Grill on medium high for 5 minutes.
Lower heat, add 1 tablespoon lime compound butter to each fish and finish another five minutes, until butter is melted and trout is just heated through.
Serve with the chipotle crème over the fish, alongside hot quinoa fritters topped with cilantro salsa.
Cooks at Pasqual’s smoke fresh trout every day over alderwood, and the hash is available every day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. At dinner, try the Smoked Trout Salad with Horseradish Dressing.
Put all ingredients into a blender and pulse until liquefied. Adjust seasoning as needed. Transfer to a bowl.
Fill a very large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring water to a boil, then carefully add the potatoes. Cook for 20 minutes over bubbling water. They are done when a fork just slightly slips in the potato—do not overcook or the potatoes will crumble and will not make good, long hash shapes.
Drain the potatoes and let cool completely—as long as 3 or 4 hours. Or cook a day ahead and refrigerate.
Use a box grater to shred the potatoes into a large bowl and add the chives, cheese, and seasonings. Use your hands to gently toss them together.
Heat a 7-inch nonstick sauté pan and add a quarter of the butter, tipping the pan to cover the surface.
Add a quarter of the potato mixture and pat down to form a pancake. Cook for 4–5 minutes until golden. Flip the pancake over and cook another 3–4 minutes. Slip the pancake onto an ovenproof plate and place in an oven preheated to 200° to keep warm.
Repeat until all 4 pancakes are made. Place a sheet of parchment paper between cakes if you are going to stack them in the warming oven.
Poach the eggs in enough water to cover. Cook until they are opaque but still runny inside.
While the eggs cook, quickly and gently heat the trout in the nonstick skillet over medium heat just to heat through.
Place the poached eggs on the warm potato pancakes. Gently dab the top of the eggs to remove any cooking water so that the salsa will not slide off when spooned over the eggs.
Surround with the warmed trout. Put a generous tablespoonful of salsa across each egg. Garnish with finely chopped cilantro, parsley, or chives. Serve with more tomatillo salsa on the side. | 2019-04-18T13:15:36 | https://www.newmexico.org/nmmagazine/articles/post/by-hook-by-cook/ |
Let’s start out with why does it even matter what your process looks like before a client is in contract? The reality is that 5 or 10 years ago it wasn’t that important and it was only a function of organization. With the way our industry has changed and is changing if you don’t have this process or a similar process in place, you’re going to struggle going forward.
With technology improving, rates being competitive if you only offer average services technology will be able to offer average services but cheaper. If you’re the lo that says “I’m always available” the internet is more available than you are. So what is your value?
The 2nd reason is are you a mortgage planner/mortgage professional or debt giver?
For a long time lenders have been able to get away with being debt givers. originators were a conduit for a homeowner to get a mortgage and that was good enough. With technology now and as it gets better people won’t need a human conduit to get a loan.
At the same time, I don’t see a time where homeowners don’t want to work with people. But if they are going to work with people they want it to be the right person and a person who gives them more than a computer program can.
Once of the biggest mistakes, I see originators make and this is even for high producing originators is that their upfront process isn’t scalable. Everyone has some sort of process but is it repeatable, is it something that you do exactly the same way every time, is it something that If you left the office for a week and had a friend take over they would know exactly what to do with every new client?
If not then you can’t scale. Most of the time when I hear an originator feel like they are stuck or they’ve been at a certain level of production and can’t break through the thing holding them back is their upfront process. What they do has gotten them to this point but doing more of that isn’t what’s going to take them to where they want to go.
In this series I’m going to lay out my 6 step process on how to successfully originate, manage your clients, provide a true mortgage planning experience where not only will you be able to grow, but you’ll be able to create so much value for your clients that they’ll become raving fans and market shifts and changes won’t stop you from being successful. | 2019-04-21T08:54:15 | http://www.mtgsuccessblueprint.com/why-does-your-process-matter/ |
On this week’s Ostomonday video, I spoke about ostomy accessories (like adhesive remover, barrier wipes, mouldable rings, ostomy belts, frames, etc), and how they may be viewed as ‘optional extras’ by healthcare professionals. Personally, they are just as important as the bags & baseplates.
But what do YOU think, guys? Are ostomy accessories vital to your ostomy routine? Or could you go without them? I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts! | 2019-04-20T03:02:33 | http://www.thailaskye.me.uk/ostomy-accessories/ |

A new project from “RS Games” and “AzeriCard” for television-game device-lovers.
At the beginning of June of the current year the owners of www.rsgames.az internet-site and the processing center AzeriCard have signed an agreement about cooperation.

Granted by “AzeriCard” new service – E-commerce gives both of these opportunities. Now for all who wish to get games and accessories for television-game devices it is enough to visit www.rsgames.az internet site, choose the product and to pay online with Visa, Master Card, Visa Electron or Maestro electronic bank cards. | 2019-04-22T22:05:32 | https://azericard.com/news/31/ |

The packaging sector reaches the 45 % of the total plastic materials consumption. In addition, this sector has become the most sustainable of all, which has a constant grow of around 4 % yearly during the last years.
A great part of this growth was promoted by changes in consumption patterns, especially in everyday products, food, cosmetics, and chemical and pharmaceutical products. Trends towards product packaging are higher every day, and two basic components must be provided: be attractive for sale and adequately preserve products contained.
The International Seminar on Plastic Packaging is a professional meeting, of which aim is to make know scientific, technological, and legislative innovations about materials for plastic packaging manufacturing and packaging systems through a series of subject matters, which will change in future editions. After the success of the previous edition, this seminar is expected to be consolidated as a forum of reference in the plastic packaging world. | 2019-04-23T14:03:37 | http://seminarioenvaseplastico.com/ |

Imagine it’s 1957 and you’re a high-ranking official with the British Army, responsible for keeping the West free from Soviet aggression. At your disposal you have a great arsenal, both conventional and nuclear, as well as teams of brilliant scientists at the Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment constantly proposing ideas for new, more effective weapons.
One of your areas of greatest strategic concern is the possibility that the Soviet Union might make inroads sufficiently into Western Europe to bring its advanced rockets and bombs within range of the British Isles. Recall that during World War II, Germany bombed the snot out of Britain with tens of thousands of bombs dropped from Luftwaffe aircraft, as well as more than 10,000 long-range V-1 and V-2 cruise and ballistic missiles shot from sites in France and the Netherlands.
Deciding that the best way to keep the Soviets from your doorstep is a scorched earth policy, to “deny occupation of the area to an enemy for an appreciable time,” you choose from all your options that blowing any invaded areas in West Germany to smithereens using nuclear weapons is the best alternative. After all, this not only destroys enemy troops and denies them access to valuable infrastructure, but also makes the area around the explosion uninhabitable for some time after.
Not content to rely on gravity bombs or missiles, your crack team concludes that nuclear landmines (that could either be placed on the surface, buried or even submerged in rivers and lakes) are the way to go.
You settle on a 16,000 pound tub that resembles an enormous boiler from the outside, but inside hosts a large nuclear warhead and two firing units, with the design partially based on your country’s first operation nuke- the Blue Danube. With a predicted yield of ten kilotons, each bomb would create an estimated crater of 375 feet across for a surface blast and 640 feet if detonated 35 feet below ground. Versatile, the device could either be detonated by timer (capable of being set as far as eight days in advance), directly with a wire from up to 3 miles away, or simply detonated automatically if any of several anti-tampering devices were activated.
This is exactly what happened. In July of 1957, the British Army Council order 10 of these so-called Blue Peacock nuclear landmines. However, the designers of the bomb foresaw a problem. The bomb’s sensitive components had to be kept at a certain temperature, far above the average of mid-Europe in winter. They also had to be kept at that temperature for potentially several days after an invasion and subsequent deployment of the nuclear mines.
At this point the boy-wonders floated a couple of options for warming the device. By far the most interesting proposal was to place a coop filled with chickens and seed inside the bomb before deploying it. The chickens could survive in such conditions for at least a week- plenty of time for enemy troops to approach after the nuke was deployed. And, critically, the chicken’s body heat would maintain the proper temperature, while the coop itself would (hopefully) keep them from pecking at the delicate equipment inside.
Perhaps realizing how absolutely ridiculous the chicken idea is (although not the only viable bird-brained bomb idea to come out of this era- see: WWII Files: Pigeon-Guided Missiles and Surprisingly Effective Bat Bombs), or, more likely, realizing the risks of nuclear fallout on neighboring, allied populations (and political fallout once West Germany realized what the British had done to their homeland, invaded or not), in February of 1958, the MoD Weapons Policy Committee scrapped the project. | 2019-04-19T17:07:46 | http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2016/04/cold-war-nuclear-chickens-defend-west-soviet-invasion/ |

Following a change of tack and some re-branding, Johnstons Restaurant at the refurbished Strand Palace Hotel has morphed into Dawaat – a self-styled ‘Indian odyssey’ offering a mix of street food and regional specialities. Nibble on bhel-puris, onion pakoras and crunchy papdi chat before tackling Jaipuri lamb tikka, Goan pork xacuti or kozhi varutha (chicken cooked with South Indian spices, chilli, asafoetida and coconut). To finish, consider carrot halwa or shahi tukda – Indian-style bread-and-butter pudding with saffron-flavoured rabri (a sweetened yoghurt dish). All-day pre-theatre menus (£14/17 for two/three courses) are a boon for ticket-holders attending shows in the neighbourhood, and the drinks list has a user-friendly mix of cocktails, beers and wines by the glass.
I ate here literally the first day it reopened after a big restoration project on the Savoy Palace. Nobody there, so atmosphere somewhat lacking. The food was so-so, what you would expect in a smart hotel, but nothing to shoot the lights out. I chose it more for the location than anything else, but with some many fantastic restaurants around the corner in Covent Garden, they're probably more likely to make money from hotel guests. | 2019-04-24T12:26:46 | https://www.squaremeal.co.uk/restaurants/dawaat-at-johnstons_4200 |

Curiosity is an essential part of the way human beings learn, and it always has been. In order to learn something, we must first wonder about it. This was true of our distant ancestors, and it is true of all of us. Researchers have shown, though, that somewhere between the time when children are very young and when they find their way to our college classrooms, the lion’s share of this curiosity is lost. I'll suggest some ways that we might try to find it again and why the search matters so much for higher education. | 2019-04-19T23:07:23 | https://cte.rice.edu/upcomingevents/2016/3/16/whats-new-in-research-on-teaching-and-learning-curiosity-and-the-college-classroom |

A most excellent diorama of Jon Snow and some Night's Watch brothers.
Tom really is working on showcasing the different sizes of each character for this line. The Hound is around 6 feet 6 inches tall and pretty imposing. Jon Snow is around 5 feet 10 inches tall at this point of the books. He is in a full crouch here and The Hound is in a slight crouch as well. This shows the side by side difference between these two characters. And just think - The Mountain will make the Hound seem like a puppy as he is around 7 feet 7 inches tall!
This is the first GRRM Dark Sword mini Tom sculpted up. We just had to start off with Jon Snow. It would not have seemed right to do it any other way. | 2019-04-25T09:43:31 | https://www.darkswordminiatures.com/shop/index.php/miniatures/george-r-r-martin-masterworks/jon-snow.html |

well, helms give wrong white AC than they suppose to add.

It's probably coming from the AC nerf we wanted to do. It got reverted when we pushed the update on main server but apparently didn't change on test server. Will look into fixing that.

I was going through my thoughts and notes on what to blog about this time when the alarm bells hit my ears on the evening news program: the European Commission has recently published statistics that 89 million tons of usable food is annually wasted across EU27. That food is wasted by households (42%), by production and processing (39%), by catering establishments (14%) and by retail (5%). If we continue this way there will be 126 million tons of food wasted per year by 2020. Outrageous statistics and bad behaviour!
“Best before” or “Consume by” are two different things.
Indeed consuming fresh dairy or meat products with a passed “Consume by” date can cause health problems and I wouldn’t advise anyone to do it, however “Best before” just denotes until when the quality of that product is best and not when it becomes unusable. It is easy to mix up these two, but picturing 3,5 million trailer trucks full of wasted food that is generated in European Union the distinction between the two can make a whole lot of difference. All these trucks standing behind each other are more than enough to make a trip around the Equator. On top of the issue of wasting food that people can eat, how does the environment cope with the mountain of waste?
If foods with a past best before date have been stored in good conditions, the food is likely to be good for some time.
In many countries there are organisations that collect and distribute the food close to “Consume by” and “Best Before” dates to people and organisations in need. In Switzerland a few of my colleagues and I worked with one of such -"Schweizer Tafel"- last year. In my home country there is a similar "Estonian Food Bank".
I hereby reach out to the readers and ask to please support in the ways small or big available to you to help reduce the food waste.
- Cut the old rye bread –very popular in Estonia – into small cubes, roast in the oven and eat as a healthy snack alternative, but DON´T eat the mouldy old bread.
-Check the freshness of the eggs by carefully dropping an egg into a glass filled with cold water. If the egg drops to the bottom it is good to eat, if it stays on the top it is not fresh.
To use up an egg or two that has been in the fridge for some time and a piece of pumpkin try these pancakes for breakfast with a mug of freshly brewed coffee.
Mix the eggs, salt and sugar with a fork, add some milk and mix again. Add the flour and baking soda, mix again. Leave a little milk for later or add some water if the dough becomes too thick. As last add the thinly grated pumpkin. Mix everything. Let rest for 10-15 minutes for the flour to expand.
Heat some oil in a shallow frying pan and fry either small pancakes or crepe-type over the pan pancakes.
Serve with honey or jam. There may be some jars of jam open in the fridge that are waiting to be eaten and not eventually thrown away. | 2019-04-19T17:00:05 | http://lime-or-lemon.blogspot.com/2012/01/food-wasting-shocking-statistics-left.html |
You may have read recently about legendary poker player Phil Ivey and some legal dramas he’s found himself embroiled in at the moment. Currently there is trouble in both London, at Crockfords casino, as well as one of the Atlantic City casinos – and possibly more elsewhere.
So what’s it all about ? Well, the allegations revolve around what sounds too simple to be true – edge sorting. Edge sorting is an advantage move that’s been around for many, many years – and I say advantage move rather than cheating, as determining whether it’s one thing or the other appears to be at the heart of one of the court cases.
It first appeared a long time ago, when the technology for manufacturing playing cards was a lot less sophisticated than it is these days. Back then it wasn’t that unusual for the cards to be cut slightly off centre with respect to the edge of the card. That meant that a repeating pattern on the back of the card – a diamond based design, for example – would have the diamonds “cut” by the edge of the card slightly fatter down the left than the right of the card, when it’s one way up. The net result of this would be that you could essentially tell which way up a card might be form careful study of the card back. So what’s the use of this ? Well, nothing on its own, but if you were to fix matters so that all the Aces were one way up, and all the other cards the other way up, you would be able to tell when the card on top of the deck was an Ace.
Imagine if you were playing single deck Blackjack, which is a variant where the player holds the cards, almost as if they were holding a poker hand. With the right dealer, and a couple of accomplices at the table, you could gradually work the deck so that all the Aces were indeed the opposite way up to all of the other cards and recognisable as such from the back, and you’d have an enormous edge whenever you knew the first card coming of a new hand was an Ace. These days. generally card are better manufactured and most casino procedures ensure some of the cards are turned 180 degrees during the shuffle, so it doesn’t work.
However, the allegations involving Ivey are that he managed to convince the casino to amend some of the procedures to suit an edge sorter. Not only did he get them to keep the same shoe of cards overnight (presumably a set with some sort of printing or cutting error on them) but somehow he also managed to get the staff to rotate (“for luck”), through 180 degrees, all the 8s and 9s (which are the key cards on the game he was playing, Punto Banco). Finally he also had the cards all dealt out, face down, before he placed any bets. Amazing. High rollers, of course, generally get what they want in a casino, although in this case it does seem rather extraordinary.
Would you let this guy mess with your rules when there are millions at stake ?
From here, all he needed was to wait until one of those 8s or 9s was going to be the first card out – spotted, it seems, by his sharp eyed accomplice – and he could load up on the relevant hand, knowing he had a huge advantage. His edge was comparable to knowing who’s going to score the first goal in a football match – it doesn’t guarantee a win, but if you knew that in advance you’d soon be a long way ahead.
So it’s a tale of, allegedly, casino greed obscuring their need to follow their own procedures, and a sharp punter working it all to his advantage. Was it cheating ? Well, we will let the courts decide that, but it just shows, where there’s a will there’s a way … and casinos have deep pockets.
The Borgata casino, where one of the alleged incidents took place. Deep pockets indeed. | 2019-04-26T00:33:43 | https://www.ukcasinochecker.com/2014/09/phil-ivey-and-the-mysterious-court-case/ |
