BkiUbSs5qoaAwmbq1jMF | Thankfully, Keeping Up With The Kardashians came back last week, but Khloé Kardashian is already turning her attention toward another new TV project. On Wednesday, it was announced that she's producing a new true crime TV series called Twisted Love, that will focus on "what happens when love and affection spiral into a twisted web of extreme obsession and jealousy." While this sounds like an appropriate description for the newest season of KUWTK, the show will not focus on the Kardashians themselves. Bummer!
Khloé's new show most likely won't premiere until 2020, probably so they have enough time to add an episode about the meltdown between her and Tristan Thompson. On her Instagram story, Khloé acknowledged that the title of her show seems like it might be sending a message. "My TV show titles are very ironic LOL. These titles and TV shows have been in the works for years." Yeah okay, I'm not going to pretend to know exactly how TV production works, but I feel like this could be a bullsh*t explanation. Whatever, it's funny either way.
Aside from the hilarious irony of the subject matter, I'm excited for Khloé that she has a new project in the works, because she's had a stressful year. The initial Tristan cheating scandal happened exactly one year ago, right before Khloé gave birth to her daughter, True. Obviously I don't need to tell you this, but the last couple months have been even crazier, with Tristan's um, late night hangout with Jordyn Woods, and Khloé and Tristan's final breakup.
Time moves fast in the Kardashian-verse. I mean, just look how far we've come from six weeks ago. Jordyn Woods was appearing on Red Table Talks, and Khloé was damn near having a meltdown on Twitter.
Initially, Khloé really had it out for Jordyn, but she subsequently changed her tune. I'm not saying she started blaming Tristan because of the internet backlash, but we also wrote v good article about how it's as much Tristan's fault as it is Jordyn's (maybe more). Khloé tweeted about Tristan's role in the whole situation, and since then, she's pretty much stayed quiet about what's going on in her personal life, which is probably for the best.
We don't really know where Khloé's at right now with her whole relationship situation, but maybe this new show is a way to channel some of her frustrations with Tristan into something productive. Who knows if this show will be any good, but I'll watch basically anything that has to do with true crime, so I'll probably be tuning in whenever Twisted Love premieres. It has to be better than Revenge Body or Kocktails With Khloé, right? | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

Delays on Delays: Milpitas and Berryessa BART stations definitely will not open in 2019
Officials won't say when they expect the stations to open in 2020
Karl Mondon/Bay Area News Group
SAN JOSE, CA – Sept. 8: Though not yet open, Berryessa BART station in San Jose, Calif., was busy Sunday, Sept. 8, 2019, as transit agency film crews worked on an educational video for the planned opening later this year. (Karl Mondon/Bay Area News Group)
By Maggie Angst | mangst@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: November 18, 2019 at 10:35 am | UPDATED: December 7, 2019 at 6:01 pm
SAN JOSE — When the clock strikes midnight on the last day of December, it will not only mark the beginning of a new decade but another delay piled on top of years of unfulfilled promises for the new Milpitas and Berryessa BART stations.
After months of insisting upon a late December opening date, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority has finally announced that the two new stations will not open in 2019 after all. In fact, officials won't even say when in 2020 they expect the stations to open.
"I don't have a new date," VTA Spokesperson Bernice Alaniz said in an interview Monday. "We are just now laying out all of the activities that need to be done in this new sequence, so I do not want to speculate on what a date would be right now."
Up until Friday, VTA and BART engineers were conducting testing on the tracks simultaneously as BART also began "pre-revenue testing" — exercises with first responders and scenarios meant to stress-test the new systems by simulating day-to-day problems. It was part of a plan announced by BART last month to shorten the typically three-month testing process to just over two months.
But the plan, which required VTA and BART engineers and employees to access the tracks and operating systems concurrently, "was getting increasingly complicated," according to Alaniz.
Instead, VTA — which built the extension and turned it over to BART this summer to manage — will solely work to finish its testing and needed repairs identified by BART. Once completed, BART will conduct its final round of testing to ensure the tracks, services and employees are ready to serve commuters.
"There's an added sort of layer of having an owner that is different from the operator, and when you're signing off on accepting the project, there are two different entities that need to do that," Alaniz said. "You can take your best guess on how it's going to be accepted, but it's when you get out there and put it in real life that you see there might be slight modifications needed."
San Jose Councilmember Lan Diep, whose district includes the Berryessa neighborhood, said he was disappointed with the delay but agreed that public safety was most important.
"What we don't want to do is to open on some artificial, expected date and then have service not be what riders expect," Diep said.
The Milpitas and Berryessa stops are the first phase of a decade-in-the-making extension of BART that will eventually bring trains from Fremont's Warm Springs stop south through downtown San Jose.
VTA is also funding and building a $5.6 billion BART extension with four new stops from the Berryessa Station to Santa Clara, including San Jose's Diridon Station. The agency, however, acknowledged last month that it also pushed back the estimated opening of those stations from 2026 to sometime in 2029 or 2030.
Elizabeth Alexis, a co-founder of Californian Advocating Responsible Rail Design, said the years of delays have "real consequences on commuters" and offers dim hopes for the larger expansion plans.
"It's concerning given that the next project is a $6 billion, much more complicated project," Alexis said. "What does this say about the relationship between BART and VTA? If they can't work together on this, how are they going to get that project done?"
Vision unveiled for new San Jose Diridon Station "world class transit hub"
Why San Jose TSA officers say the city, airport is "rubber-stamping inequality"
A San Jose prosecutor wanted to catch a molester. He used his daughter as bait.
VTA and BART are currently working on an updated work plan. In the meantime, VTA still plans to launch its new transit service plan for buses and light rail — which will modify some existing bus routes and add some new routes to accommodate commuters from the new Berryessa and Milpitas transit centers — on Dec. 28.
Bus lines 180 and 181, which provides service to commuters from San Jose to the closest BART station in Fremont, will continue to operate until the new BART stations open.
"VTA and BART are working as safe and expedient as possible to bring this to Santa Clara County as soon as possible," Alaniz said. "We're very appreciative of the public's patience as we take this next step to ensure that."

BkiUdfM4eIXh3noafc63 | What Bianca Ojukwu told youths in Owerri
Former Nigeria Ambassador to Spain and widow of the late Ikemba Nnewi, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, on Saturday advised Nigerian youths to shun vices and other anti-social conducts now threatening the peace and development of the country.
Mrs Ojukwu gave the advice during the 11th edition of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Memorial Lecture held by the Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra and Independence Biafra Movement (MASSOB-BIM) in Owerri.
She said that the current criminalities such as killings, kidnapping and what have you in the country were worrisome.
Though she attributed the problem to a lack of job opportunities, Ojukwu said it was wrong for the youth to resort to the use of hard drugs leading to crime.
She advised them to keep hope alive and seize the opportunity of the 2023 elections to vote for the right people for good governance in the nation.
She argued that if the right leaders were entrusted to be in charge, many opportunities would be created for the majority of the people to be gainfully employed thereby reducing crime.
The ex-Nigeria's most beautiful girl commended the Igbo people for keeping faith with the tenets of nationhood for which his late husband fought.
She thanked the convener of the event, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike for regularly organizing the memorial ceremony from 2012 to date.
Ojukwu used the medium to call on the Federal Government to release the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
According to her, doing so will help restore peace in the South-East geo-political zone, adding that "no nation that holds its people hostage can ever have peace".
Earlier in an address, Chairman of the occasion and former Green Eagles coach, Mr Fanny Amun, thanked Uwazuruike for peaceful agitation.
He called for continued peace and national cohesion adding that in due course, the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians would be met.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Igbo people from the five states of Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra and Imo attended the event and displayed various types of masquerades and other cultural dances

Lady Eagles Defeat CBC, Drop HSU Game
Posted in Athletics
Clarksville, Ark.-The Lady Eagles defeated Central Baptist College 82-67 on November 25, but lost to Hardin Simmons University 71-41 five days later.
The Lady Eagles received another big game from junior forward Jenna Corbell against CBC. Corbell, who scored a career-high 34 points two weeks ago against College of the Ozarks, finished with 33 points and 10 rebounds. Corbell shot 13 of 25 from the field. Freshman Mandi Carter chipped in with 11 points and ten rebounds. Carter also had six assists. Corbell and Carter were two of ten different Ozarks' players who scored in the game. On November 30, the Lady Eagles looked to knock off a Hardin-Simmons team that defeated them in last season's American Southwest Conference championship game. The Lady Eagles battled to a 33-25 deficit at halftime, before being outscored 10-2 in the first five minutes of the second half. Corbell scored 11 points and gabbed eight rebounds. Carter had 10 points and eight rebounds. The Lady Eagles shot a season low 26 percent from the field.

Artists for 2009
Latitude 37. The members of this new Australian baroque trio are all recent top graduates of the Royal Conservatory in the Hague, Holland. Julia Fredersdorff (baroque violin), Donald Nicolson (harpsichord) and Laura Vaughan (viola da gamba) have a passion for the music of the 17th and 18th centuries. This trio has "technique to burn, fire in their bellies and a belief in music performance as the living art it's meant to be". In their view, historically informed performance means breaking the rules to create exciting music, just as those baroque composers did!
The New Zealand String Quartet is New Zealand's foremost chamber music ensemble. They have toured extensively in North America and in 2006 and 2007 added Korea and Mexico to their concert itinerary. In 2007 they presented their superb Bach-Mendelssohn "Divine Obsession" concerts and began a three-year project to record all of the Mendelssohn quartets for Naxos. As well as being celebrated performers, the members are teachers as Quartet-in-Residence on the Faculty of the NZ School of Music, Wellington. In this concert they premiere the work by the young Auckland composer, Victoria Kelly.
The Tudor Consort has been at the forefront of early choral performance in New Zealand for over 20 years and comprises the finest choral singers of the Wellington region. In 2003 it gained silver and bronze awards at the 35th International Choral Competition in Tolosa, Spain, against some of the world's best choirs. Successive directors have brought a deep knowledge of both early music and vocal production to create "A beautifully unified group…superbly sonorous…a world-class ensemble". The repertoire includes both sacred and secular works, always with an eye on authentic performance and vocal excellence.
Cook Strait Trio takes its name from the link between Nelson and Wellington, which were both influential places in the musical education of the members. Blythe Press (violin) was co-concert master of the NZ Youth Orchestra and is now studying at the University of Graz, Austria. Amber Rainey (piano) has been designated an "emerging young artist" at the University of Auckland where she studied with Rae de Lisle and Sarah Watkins. Paul van Houtte was principal cello in the NZ Youth Orchestra and is now continuing his studies in Zurich, Switzerland.
Jack Liebeck (violin) and Stephen de Pledge (piano). Described as "one of the most accomplished violinists of his generation" Jack Liebeck performs with many of the world's orchestras. His debut disc in 2004 was greeted with great critical acclaim and named "Strad Selection" by Strad Magazine. Stephen de Pledge is a New Zealand pianist who won the National Piano Competition and went on to win all the major prizes and the Gold Medal at London's Guildhall School of Music in 1996. He now performs around the world and returns regularly for very popular tours in his home country.

BkiUa53xK5YsWTJsNjI8 | Q: What's with the sort of repetitive output and how does it differentiate between the number of iterations and the Ascii code? After running the following code and entering A, this is my output:
char 0 is character A with ascii code 65
char 1 is character
with ascii code 10
I have two questions about this output:
*
*Why is the output
char 0 is character A with ascii code 65
and not
char 65 is character A with ascii code 0
How does the program know that the first "%3d" is associated with the number of iterations (I think) and the second "%d" is associated with the Ascii value?
"%c" is a character data type so it prints A, but there is nothing to differentiate between the "%d" except for maybe the 3 in front of the first "%3d" (but doesn't that just mean number of positions including the decimal point?
*Where does
char 1 is character
with ascii code 10
come from? Does it have to do with the c,c part in the code?
#include <stdio.h>
main ()
{
int c,n=0;
while ((c=getchar()) !='Q' )
printf ("char %3d is character %c with ascii code %d\n", n++, c,c);
}
A: The format specifiers are in the same order as the arguments to printf, so "%3d" corresponds to the second argument to printf, %c corresponds to the third argument, and "%d" corresponds to the fourth. In general, the n+1st argument to printf corresponds to the nth format specifier.
In the call printf("cahr %3d is character %c with ascii code %d\n", n++, c, c), "%3d" corresponds to the argument n++, "%c" corresponds to c, and "%d" corresponds to the second c.
The reason for the
char 1 is character
with ascii code 10
Line is that you are entering a newline character when you press the enter key.

BkiUeObxK7IDBrtwRbCZ | Walker's gas tax raises more questions
Tim Bradner
Alaska U.S. Rep. Don Young listens as Alaska Gov. Bill Walker speaks to reporters at the Alaska Federation of Natives conference on Oct. 16 after Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said her agency was canceling future lease sales and will not extend current drilling leases in Arctic waters off Alaska's northern coast (see story, page 9). Walker is calling the Legislature into special session beginning Oct. 24 to consider a gas reserves tax he describes as an "incentive" to producers to commit gas to the Alaska LNG Project. Photo/Mark Thiessen/AP
Gov. Bill Walker has offered his first explanation of his proposed tax on natural gas reserves in advance of a special session of the Legislature due to convene Oct. 24.
But the letter written by the governor to legislators Oct. 19 seems to raise more questions than it answers, and if the tax was actually passed by the Legislature, which is doubtful, it would prompt lawsuits that would entangle and delay the planned Alaska LNG Project.
Walker describes the proposal as an "incentive," to get North Slope gas producers to agree to produce gas and commit it to the LNG project.
"The property tax is not designed to be punitive," the governor wrote in his letter.
The letter describes the reserves tax in terms of the "lifting of a tax holiday" on property taxation of the value of state oil and gas reserves.
Years ago the Legislature exempted unproduced oil and gas reserves from property taxes because the state also imposed a production, or severance tax, the governor explained in his letter.
The new proposal is to change the law and make the reserves subject to property tax, but with exemptions if producers agree to commit gas to the LNG project, according to the letter.
"Built into this legislation are several exemptions. Should the taxpayers qualify for any one of the exemptions, the property tax would not apply," according to the letter.
The proposed statutory language of how the tax would actually be structured will be in the bill to be introduced in the special session Oct. 24, but copies of the draft legislation were not made available.
Among several questions not answered by the letter is who would impose the property tax: municipalities or the state? Walker's letter described property taxes as traditionally a municipal function in Alaska, although the state does impose its only state property tax on the value of oil and gas industry surface facilities, including pipelines.
The governor may have in mind amending the state oil facilities tax to include the value of unproduced underground gas reserves, but if that is not done the taxation would be done by local governments under their current tax authority.
For the North Slope, that would be the North Slope Borough.
Another uncertainty in the proposal, as it has been described in concept, is whether the state or municipal appraisals of underground reserves would include crude oil as well as natural gas, or if just gas, as the governor has described it, how the gas fluids can be appraised separately from oil fluids.
Below ground gas and oil are often mingled, as is the case at the Prudhoe Bay field on the North Slope, and also typically exist in liquid form in the reservoir rock. What is considered natural gas, the lighter molecules of hydrocarbons, become gaseous when they are produced up a well and the pressure drops, allowing them to shift from a liquid to a gas.
Sorting out the value of underground gas as separate from oil is an area ripe for conflict and litigation.
Three other matters are being put on the Legislature's special session agenda by the governor. One is a request for an appropriation to compensate TransCanada Corp. for its investments to date in the gas project and for the state to acquire TransCanada's share of the project.
"TransCanada has been a valuable partner (for the state) and I appreciate its efforts and contributions in progressing the pre-FEED (preliminary engineering) work on this project. However, at this point the state through AGDC (the state-owned Alaska Gas Development Corp.) should take a direct investment in the entire project to lower annual gas transportation costs after the project begins operations," Walker wrote.
"While this will mean that the state must make the project (engineering) and construction payments that TransCanada would have otherwise made, the state is better off in the long term."
Other items on the special session agenda include appropriations for the state to make required cash contributions to complete the preliminary engineering work on the Alaska LNG Project that is now underway, and funding for state agencies to continue in negotiations on needed agreements for the project.
Overall, the governor described in the letter his frustration that the project agreements are not yet in place.
"We are at a critical juncture," Walker wrote. "The process we are currently working under has failed to produce any project-enabling agreements on the timeline that Alaska requested and that the state's (industry) partners indicated was possible," the letter said. "Unfortunately, instead of introducing project-enabling agreements to you in this special session, as was the goal of all the parties involved, I must instead ask you for measures necessary to advance the process with assurances it will not see similar delay in the future or actual process failure caused by the reluctance of one or more parties to move forward."
One other point not explained in the governor's letter was that the reserves tax is not really an incentive for producers to commit gas to a project but to sell gas to a buyer at the other end of the pipeline and LNG project.
The project itself does not purchase gas, but only transports it for a fee like a railroad does with freight. In reality, the tax would impose a penalty (the tax) if a producer, for example, fails to agree on an acceptable price for its gas from a buyer.
This is one other area ripe for dispute and lawsuits because the state or municipal appraisers would in effect substitute their judgment of an acceptable price for that of the producing company in deciding to impose the penalty. | commoncrawl | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

New book examines why Americans are so unhappy and outlines 8 proven strategies to become happy 88% of the time
Courtesy of www.8waystohappiness.com
Despite achieving 4% GDP growth, America has fallen to 18th in the World Happiness Report's annual ranking of more than 150 countries—an index based on variables including social support, healthy life expectancy, social freedom, generosity and absence of corruption. Various media reports in relation to this year's study underscore this is the second consecutive year the United States has fallen in the rankings, with America never having even cracked the top 10.
The report suggests three main variables prompting declining happiness in the United States: behind the fall in America's happiness, citing "America's subjective well-being is being systematically undermined by three interrelated epidemic diseases, notably obesity, substance abuse (especially opioid addiction), and depression." Other related media reports assert the root causes of America's fall in happiness are due to a social demise amid a "disintegration of true social connection and support networks."
The World Happiness Report provides insight as to what these social issues are, which includes a lack of social support, increasing loneliness and isolation and the fact that people are spending a disturbing amounts of time on social media and smartphones. The report also points to America's ominous economic issues such as financial stress and income equality; the rise in materialism that's been seen in recent years that's has been linked to depression; physical problems (sugar addiction, obesity, lack of exercise).
"The negative emotions resulting from America's problems noted in the World Happiness Report, whether independently or in combination, only breed more and more unhappiness and may actually lead to other side effects like hatred, shame and fear," says Dr. Marissa Pei, a consulting psychologist and author of the newly-released title, "8 Ways to Happiness from Wherever You Are." "Although Americans can't change the circumstances in their country overall, they can personally take steps toward achieving an enhanced level of happiness in their own lives—and it's incumbent on them to be proactive in doing so."
So it seems Dr. Marissa's book, 8 Ways to Happiness from Wherever You Are, is timely and certainly needed. In it, she addresses eight ways to transition from sadness to being happy 88% of the time. Why 88%? Dr. Marissa explains that it's not possible to be 100% happy because everyone needs contrast in their lives and can't know happiness if there aren't some points of unhappiness to contrast with. Her Chinese heritage also helped her arrive at this number because in Mandarin the number 8 is a homonym for good fortune.
8 Ways to Happiness is for anyone who has stopped to ask themselves, "Am I happy?" or "Why am I not happy?" and is not willing to spend 10 years in therapy or take a pill with side effects that can make them feel even worse than they do now. Furthermore, it is for those who already are taking medication for their "Dis-Ease" with life but still not feeling better. The eight chapters are focused on common places that human beings get "stuck," such as loneliness, loss, hatred, shame, and heartbreak, with relatable snapshots and exercises to build new roads into hope, love, faith, and happiness.
Given her professional pedigree, Dr. Pei doesn't just talk the talk, she's walked the walk on the front lines. This Doctor of Organizational Psychology is an inspirational speaker, author, life balance coach and global thought leader who has spoken, coached and facilitated with hundreds of Fortune 500 companies like Johnson & Johnson, Wells Fargo, Cedars-Sinai, AT&T, Mattel, Toyota and Bank of America over the past 27 years.
Also a TV commentator and on-air personality, affectionately known as "the Asian Oprah," her popular talk radio show "Take My Advice, I'm Not Using It: Get Balanced with Dr. Marissa" is syndicated on CNBC News Radio and iHeart Radio, among other outlets.
As with any and all of us, Dr. Marissa herself is not immune to unhappiness. Her own pain from the past, and fear of the future, helps readers identify with her new 8 Ways to Happiness book that ultimately relays a message of hope. She provides those struggling to find happiness with alternative ways of seeing their own reality, as well as a chance to practice balance tools that shovel out the "shiitake" from their past and return it as fertilizer for new seeds of understanding about the unique, beautiful, wonderful, precious beings we all are.

BkiUbec241xg-EsBt2Zr | Stars of the screen and an Oscar-winning director will be coming to Reading Prison to pay homage to the jail and its historic connection to Oscar Wilde.
The Victorian listed building will open to the public for the first time ever for a festival of art and drama put on by Artangel throughout September and October as part of Reading Year of Culture 2016.
Stars include Ralph Fiennes, Voldemort in Harry Potter and M in the Bond films, Ben Wishaw , Q in Bond, and director of Oscar-winning Seven Years a Slave Steve McQueen.
The artists, performers and writers will be responding to the work of the prison's most famous inmate Oscar Wilde, the architecture of the jail and themes of imprisonment and separation. The project is called Inside - Artists and Writers in Reading Prison running from Sunday, September 4 to Friday, October 30.
Oscar Wilde was incarcerated there between 1895 and 1897, enduring the Separate System, a harsh penal regime designed to eliminate any contact between prisoners.
Wilde's imprisonment led to his last great works- De Profundis, an extended letter to his lover Lord Alfred Douglas written in his prison cell and The Ballad of Reading Gaol, composed after his release.
New works made in response to the prison's architecture and history by leading artists including Marlene Dumas, Robert Gober, Nan Goldin, Steve McQueen, Jean-Michel Pancin and Wolfgang Tillmans will be installed in the Victorian prison's corridors, wings and cells.
Plans and prints relating to The Separate System, late 19th century mugshots of inmates, and work by Vija Celmins, Rita Donagh, Peter Dreher, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Richard Hamilton, Roni Horn and Doris Salcedo will also be exhibited.
Writers and artists from around the world - Ai Weiwei, Tahmima Anam, Anne Carson, Joe Dunthorne, Deborah Levy, Danny Morrison, Gillian Slovo, Binyavanga Wainaina and Jeanette Winterson - will compose letters from their own direct or imagined experience of a state-imposed separation from loved ones.
Visitors will be able to listen to and read their letters in some of the cells of the prison.
To coincide, BBC Radio 4 will broadcast five of these contemporary Letters from Inside from 12 to16 September at 7.45pm, preceded by an abridged version of De Profundis on Sunday, September 11 at 4pm recorded in Wilde's cell at Reading Prison.
James Lingwood and Michael Morris, co-directors of Artangel, issued a statement: "We are excited to be opening up Reading Prison with such a remarkable range of artists, writers and performers responding to the imposing Victorian architecture and the continuing resonance of De Profundis, written by Wilde in his cell as Prisoner C.3.3.
"Inside – Artists and Writers in Reading Prison will offer the public an opportunity to reflect, in a particularly powerful place, on the implications for the individual when separated from society by the state.
Inside has been made possible with the kind support of the Ministry of Justice and is presented as part of Reading 2016, Reading's Year of Culture.
Inside is part of University of Reading's Reading International, which is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through the Arts Council's Ambition for Excellence Programme.
Reading Borough Council's planning committee approved an application on Wednesday, July 20, for the temporary change of use of the prison involving stripping out some of the newer installations to make way for the project.
Everything has to be put back as before after the show.
Tickets costing £20 can be booked via Reading Arts website. There is a maximum of two tickets per booking. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUc8A4uBhhxJVAbD1_ | A Limited Nursing Services (LNS) License is issued to an ALF that provides nursing services that are beyond what a standard ALF is licensed to provide. Residents living in an ALF with a LNS license must meet the same residency criteria for a standard licensed ALF; however, they may also receive a limited number of nursing services. Existing facilities qualifying to provide limited nursing services shall have maintained a standard license and may not have been subject to administrative sanctions that affect the health, safety, and welfare of residents for the previous two years or since initial licensure of the facility has been licensed for less than two years. The nursing services available in a limited nursing services facility are more extensive than what is provided in a standard ALF and are provided pursuant to the resident's service plan.
All ALFs will need to increase their vigilance in complying with licensure standards, training standards and resident care. The purpose of increased standards is to protect the residents of ALFs. Unfortunately, sometimes the side effect of stricter fines and heavier penalties is unfair policing of providers which results in higher agency revenue.

BkiUdZTxK6EuNBRhIWik | This release of the Messenger service focuses on allowing your customers to automatically Opt into your Bulletin Messenger Address Books, adding the ability to drag and drop your contacts list directly onto the message compose page and personlising your messages with Avatars.
Along with this, as always, we have made many tweaks and alterations behind the scenes to optomise and improve the reliability and performance of our service to ensure you have the best possible experience.
In the wide world of startups, mobile is all the rage. These techies and entrepreneurs are all about what's new, innovative, and business savvy.
The Text Messaging community had in effect, an earthquake last week, due to a discovery by pod2g. It was discovered that iOS shows the SMS UDH Reply Address within the user interface, instead of the original source number. In a nutshell you can send message from a normal on-net handset that appear to be coming from elsewhere to iPhone devices.
Bulletin's Sydney team took a mini field trip Wednesday to attend the seminar "Tablet Media – A Content Revolution" presented by the Australia Interactive Media Industry Association (AIMIA) and Oomph, to gain a little more insight into the rapidly growing tablet market. The event, which was hosted at the KPMG Auditorium in Sydney, featured numerous presentations from industry leaders such as Google, ABC and Haymarket. The overwhelming message from all presenters is that the tablet market is not only vast and expanding, but has also created consumers that posse a never-ending thirst for engaging, interactive content.
Bulletin has long history with Governments at both national and local levels and today hopes to leverage that as we meet more of the people responsible for running our small but perfectly formed country. The Wellington Meet the Buyer event is being jointly run by the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) and BusinessNZ, and is the first of its kind involving government and business.
Sometimes it feels like the more things change the more they stay the same and you are right… Messenger has changed so much in the last 10 years it almost looks exactly the same as it did in 2003. Sure, we have added new features like email2sms, bulk sender, expanded address books, a mobile interface and more but it looks much the same as it did the night the Govenator said good night to both his families and went off to rescue Cali.
How are our customers using SMS TXT messaging?
Bulletin has been helping users reach their teams and customers for over 15 years. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUd4LxK0zjCrsOAYxl | Vaguely Noble (1965–1989) était un cheval de course pur-sang anglais, né en Irlande. L'un des grands champions de son époque, il remporta le Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe avant de devenir un remarquable étalon.
Carrière de courses
L'éleveur de Vaguely Noble, le Major Lionel Holliday, mourut l'année de sa naissance et c'est son fils qui décida de ne pas l'engager dans les courses classiques anglaises et de l'inscrire aux ventes de 2 ans en décembre à Newmarket. Entre-temps, le poulain se révéla surdoué et, s'il eut besoin de trois courses avant d'ouvrir son palmarès, il surclassa les meilleurs poulains de sa génération dans l'Observer Gold Cup, qu'il enleva de sept longueurs. Sur le ring de Newmarket, Vaguely Noble suscita donc une bataille d'enchères, remportée par un riche chirurgien esthétique américain, le Dr Franklyn, pour la somme de Guinées, soit le record du monde à l'époque. Le grand propriétaire Nelson Bunker Hunt lui fit une offre mirobolante pour s'associer avec lui sur la propriété du jeune champion qui fut envoyé en France en 1968, faute d'engagement dans les classiques anglais. Confié au grand entraîneur Étienne Pollet (qui fut le mentor du mythique Sea Bird), il confirma ses dispositions à 3 ans et ne connut la défaite qu'une fois en cinq sorties. En octobre, il remporta le Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe en battant le vainqueur du Derby d'Epsom Sir Ivor, et le rating de 140 que lui conféra Timeform, l'un des plus élevés de l'histoire des courses, dit bien la très haute estime en laquelle il fut tenu.
Résumé de carrière
Au haras
À l'issue de sa victoire dans l'Arc, Vaguely Noble fut immédiatement envoyé à la reproduction. Le haras de Gainsway Farm à Lexington dans le Kentucky, déboursa 1,25 million de dollars pour 25 % de la propriété du cheval, ce qui fit de lui, à une valeur de 5 millions de dollars, le cheval le plus cher du monde. Le cheval se montra à la hauteur de cet investissement en s'affirmant vite comme l'un des meilleurs reproducteurs de son temps, et donnant de grands champions. Il fut sacré deux fois Tête de liste des étalons en Angleterre et en Irlande, et une fois Tête de liste des pères de mères en Angleterre et en Irlande, ses filles se révélant de très bonnes poulinières, à l'image de la grande championne Dahlia, l'une des cinq poulinières de l'hémisphère nord à avoir engendré au moins quatre lauréats de groupe 1.
Parmi ses meilleurs produits, citons :
Dahlia - inoubliable championne, membre du Hall of Fame des courses américaines, double lauréate des King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, des International Stakes, des Washington, D.C. International Stakes, vainqueur des Irish Oaks, du Prix Saint-Alary, du Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, des Man o'War Stakes, etc.
Exceller - Membre du Hall of Fame des courses américaines, vainqueur des Grand Prix de Paris, Prix Royal-Oak, Coronation Cup, Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, Canadian International Stakes, Hollywood Gold Cup et d'une édition mythique de la Jockey Club Gold Cup où il défit les légendaires Seattle Slew et Affirmed.
Nobiliary - Washington, D.C. International, Prix Saint-Alary, 2 Derby d'Epsom.
Empery - Derby d'Epsom
El Cuite - Prix Royal-Oak, Gran Premio d'Italia.
Gay Mecene - Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud
Jet Ski Lady - Epsom Oaks
Estrapade - Santa Ana Handicap, Arlington Million, Oak Tree Invitational Stakes
Friendswood - Gran Premio del Jockey Club, Premio Lydia Tesio
Lemhi Gold - Jockey Club Gold Cup, Marlboro Cup Invitational Handicap.
Origines
Le père de Vaguely Noble, Vienna (qui appartenait à Winston Churchill), fut un bon cheval sur les pistes mais un reproducteur irrégulier, ce qui le conduisit d'un exil à l'autre, de l'Angleterre au Japon en passant par la France, avec une réputation d'impuissance, qui fit dire que ses produits anglais étaient dus à son souffleur (le cheval sans valeur chargé de vérifier que les poulinières sont en chaleur). Sa mère, Noble Lassie, fut une bonne compétitrice, puisqu'elle s'adjugea les Lancashire Oaks, un groupe 2. Mais à part lui, aucun de ses produits ne brilla en compétition.

BkiUcHbxK4tBViZLEcPo | Well, if you have ever used any of the IOS devices, then let me tell you that, Rooting in Android is quite the same as the Jailbreaking in the IOS devices. It allows you to access the subsystem of your Android phone and then you can work with it in the same way as you could work with the internal storage of the SD card of your android phone.
Android devices provide users with access for the performance of all the operations which are to be performed on the behalf of the user, with the limited permits. And when you root your device, it provides the applications with the unlimited permissions to access any of the folder or any file and to perform any of the tasks in your android operating system.
Or in simple words, we could say that rooting is a kind of possibility to work with any android file without any kind of restrictions or interruptions.
Well, that's a little overview of Root access. So now, let's take a look at How to Root a Phone Using SuperSU tool.
Step 1: So, the very first thing is to Download Supersu Root zip file. From the SuperSU root website.
Step 2: Now, the next step is to move your phone in the TWRP recovery environment. And to do that, there are different buttons in every different device which you need to hold down. So, all you have to do is to find the right button which works for your Android smartphone. And you can do it simply by searching the TWRP (along with your mobile name) and simply search it on google.
Step 3: In the TWRP, you will see an option which tells you to install the SuperSU zip file. Well, click on that option and select the option saying 'swipe to confirm flash'.
Step 4: As soon as the Supersu Apk zip file is installed, click on the 'Wipe cache/ Dalvik'. And select the option saying 'Reboot system'.
Well with this, the whole process of How to Root a Phone Using 'Supersu Apk' tool is completed.

BkiUdlo5qhLBSMLQwN9q | This article is a detailed description of the Dukan Diet Phase 1 Menu. If you seek information on the duration of the Dukan Diet Phase 1 click here. I also recommend downloading my Attack Phase Memento Printable PDF which is a free, printable, 1-page recap of the Dukan Diet's Phase 1 rules and menu.
Nevertheless, the Dukan Diet always starts with the Phase 1 (= attack phase) that is based on a strict protein menu. Dukan Diet Phase 1 is to provide a strong psychological impetus and an effect of 'metabolic surprise' that results in a rapid and motivating weight loss.
What Dukan calls lean meat is: veal, beef and, for those who might still eat it, horse-meat, rabbit and game.
Beef: every bit that is fit for roasting or grilling.
Good: beefsteak, sirloin, rump cut, collop, other bits trimmed to zero fat.
Bad: T-bones, boned rib steak, boned loin-chop and other marbled bits.
Veal: the best choices are veal fillets and whatever that is fit for roasting. You can have boned chops but remember to trim the fat before cooking.
Horse-meat, rabbit and game: those kinds of meat are really lean, all parts should do as long as the meat isn't streaky.
There are no specific restrictions on how to prepare lean meat except that you are not allowed to use any additional fat: no butter, oil, sour / sweet cream (even when the label says 'light').
That said, the best ways to prepare you meat are: gilling, roasting, cooking it on a spit, stewing, cooking folded in foil, pan-frying without fat (providing that you've got a frying pan that can do that), steaming, boiling etc.
You can cook meat for as long as you see fit. Heat processing melts the meat's fat so the longer you cook your meat the leaner it becomes. On the other hand, overcooked meat loses most of its taste and flavor.
Some people like to eat raw meat which is pretty healthy providing that your meat comes from a reliable source (it always should!). Unless you use oil to prepare dishes like steak tartare or carppacio, they are diet safe (you can use raw eggs / yolks instead of oil).
All of the above-mentioned kinds of meat can be minced, chopped, grated etc. You can mix your meat in various combinations with other allowed foods.
A few words about steaks. Read the labels or ask you butcher (seller) to learn how much fat is in your beef. A safe fat content in meat that you can eat during the Dukan's Diet Phase 1 is 10%. Don't eat any meat that stands above this level. I said 'meat' thus this rule doesn't apply to fish.
There aren't many kinds of offal that you can eat in the Dukan Diet Phase 1 as they are pretty fatty. The list is short: veal / beef / chicken liver and veal / lamb tongue.
Liver is quite nourishing and contains a lot of protein, vitamins (A, B12) and micro-elements (such as: iron, selenium, copper, phosphorus) but in the same time, it is very high in cholesterol. People who are to control their cholesterol level are advised to ease off the liver.
Fish is, in general, very healthy. There are absolute no restrictions here. Every fish is allowed and recommended: greasy, lean, white-fin, blue-fin, fresh, frozen, raw, cooked, conserved (in brine, not in oil), smoked and dried.
Fish: sardine, mackerel, salmon, tuna, sole, cod, perch, burbot, halibut to name just a few.
Smoked fish: salmon, trout, eel etc. They may be considered greasy but the fat content isn't higher than in a beef steak. Even more, they contain very healthy omega-3 fats. The only concern is that smoked fish is often salty.
Canned fish can be very handy when you need a quick meal or snack. Don't eat fish canned in oil though. Canned fish in non-oily sauce is OK, provided that you won't eat the sauce. The best choice here is fish canned in brine.
Surimi is a commercially-prepared product made mostly from white-fleshed fish. It is diet-safe and very 'portable'. A perfect snack. But read labels and pay attention to nutrition facts. The original surimi is a great food but there are many fakes pumped up with bean-protein, sugar and salt. A genuine surimi should contain about no less than 15% of protein and no more than 7% of carbohydrates (and none of which should be sugar).
Crustaceans and mollusks including: prawns, shrimps, crabs, lobsters, oysters, clams, mussels, scallops etc.
All kinds of poultry are acceptable in the Dukan Diet Phase 1 except for duck and goose provided that you won't eat skin.
Chicken is the most common kind of poultry. The younger (smaller) the chicken the leaner the meat is. The fattest bits are wings and parson's nose. The leanest parts are, in order of meagerness: breast, thigh and then wings.
Turkey: pan-fried (without oil) fillet and roasted turkey are the best choices. Other related poultry that is diet-safe: guinea fowl, pigeon, quail and game birds like pheasant, partridge or even a wild duck (which is much leaner than a farm duck).
The cured meat that falls into this category is nothing like slow food smoked pork ham. The only cured meat that you can have during the Dukan Diet Phase 1 is the one that contains 4-5% of fat.
That kind of cured meat is usually made of turkey or chicken. It's not as tasty as the traditional ham or smoked sirloin but it excels in other areas. It's lean, it contains a decent amount of high quality protein, it is often sliced, vacuum-packed and odorless thus easy to carry and ready-to-use.
The main downside of the lean cured meat is usually high contents of salt, preservatives and various artificial additives. Nevertheless, packed lean cured meat can be a life-savior when you get hungry unexpectedly.
You can have eggs in any form: as an omelet, hard-boiled, soft-boiled, fried (with no oil or butter or any other fats), stuffed, raw (tip: scald the shell before eating raw eggs) , and scrambled.
Some people have eggs intolerance, some have cholesterol related issues. In both cases you should avoid egg yolks or at least limit yolk consumption to 3 or 4 per week. The egg white on the other hand is cholesterol free and should not cause any health-related problems.
In my opinion, when it comes to nutritional value, this is the second most valuable food group on the list right after fish. And in terms of taste and 'usability' dairy is my number one.
Throughout the entire Phase 1 milk products are an unrivaled source of calcium which, if consumed in sufficient amount, will ensure the weight loss success, especially if you are calcium deficient.
There's no low-fat (or non-fat) dairy product a can think of that isn't Dukan Diet compliant. You can have them all: skimmed / non-fat milk, low/non-fat yogurt, Greek yogurt, kefir, buttermilk, cottage cheese, curd, quark (aka farmers cheese or white cheese) etc. There are so many different local milk products that have different local names that it is hard to list them all.
The only thing you should remember is that it is non/low-fat dairy (so, things like whole-milk, full-fat cheese or cream are prohibited).
In general, fermented milk products (like yogurt, pot cheese, cottage cheese etc.) are better than fresh milk and its non-fermented derivatives. They have nutritional benefits beyond those of milk. This is because the fermentation process converts the lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid.
A study published in the International Journal of Obesity (11 January 2005) also found that the consumption of low-fat yogurt can promote weight loss, especially due to the calcium in the yogurt.
I encourage every dieter that follows the dukan diet or any other weight loss program to eat dairy regularly, especially when you are a coffee or (diet) soda lover.
Here you can read more on how diet coke and coffee leach the valuable minerals out of your body and how to counterbalance the calcium deficits.
You need to drink at least 1.5 L of liquids a day. This one is obligatory and there are no exceptions to the rule. During the Dukan Diet Phase 1 your body will need much more fluids than it normally uses (read about ketosis here).
Dr Dukan claims that coffee is as good as tea and other fluids but I think otherwise. In my opinion, substances like coffee, strong black tea and coke are no match to the hydration potential of pure water.
You can drink coffee, tea and even diet coke but regardless of what you drink (or in what quantities) you can't deviate from drinking pure water.
All kinds of water are acceptable. Mineral, still water would be the best choice but sparkling water will do as well. If you need a detailed instruction on choosing the 'right' water, read my in-depth review where I ponder on the pros and cons of various kinds of drinking water.
Is mustard allowed in phase one?
Hello there I live in Australia and was wondering if this conversation was still active.
Great!!!! I'm thinking of trying it!!!
Hi. How do I join this group? I am starting this soon and have a few questions that hopefully more experienced can answer!
Ryan – check out loads of different dukan blogs, you can find them through google.
Mike – beer is a no no obviously!
Good luck everyone, Ive lost 2 stone!
I'm guessing beer is a no no?
Beer is a definite no no because alcohol in general transforms into sugar when it's metabolized. The lowest carb (sugar) alcohol are mostly hard drinks such as vodka, gin, rum, tequila and whiskey. You do however have to drink them straight.
As for mustard, I use no sugar, low salt mustard called "Maille – Dijon Originale" and have no problem with it :) You do however have to keep in mind that mustard has to be consumed only as a condiment, in very small quantities.
hi i am going to start the dukan diet but unsure of yogurt. i have a yogurt i love and not sure if im allowed to have it. it contains (100g serve) 12g carbs 4g fat. is this allowed??
hi, i am going to start this next week. was wondering if lamb was ok? have done atkins before and it sounds similar. is it ok to use am cheese on hamburgers? ty for your help.
Nothing happened. Don't worry. Just choose different chewing gum next time. Good luck!
hello .i want to ask if i can drink nescafe with any kind of light mate mate and a sweetner in the attack phase.
Being a bit dense here but as a vegetarain (eat dairy products and eggs) what am I actually allowed in the Attack phase! I am getting confused, cheese? Tofu? Soya milk? Oat Bran?
Not cheese, but so called white cheese (fromage frais, cottage cheese, quark). All dairy should be non-fat. Greek yogurts (with good protein contents) are fine.
?You should also eat eggs and all non-fat dairy you can get (the more variety the better). Tofu as well, but do not make your primary source of protein of it though. Soya milk, rice milk, almond milk are useless here. Oat bran as a source of fiber, not protein (so only the recommended doses).
I hope this will help. Feel free to ask.
THANKS, THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL BUT JUST ONE MORE QUESTION, WHERE DOES QUORN COME INTO USE?!
Hi ,Just a small question. I started the dukan diet 4 week ago, i did the Attack phase for 3 days and lost 1stone and then started the cruise phase and have lost nothing.
Hi there. The scale is not always the best indicator of the progress, so do not blindly follow what it says. Try using thick non-fat greek yogurt or cottage chesse instead, but I can't really predict the outcome here :). If you're from Ireland you may find non-fat quark in Polish stores.
Can I drink soy milk.
You can, but it won't help (soy milk in dukan diet).
Can I use granulated garlic powder in non-fat plain yogurt to have with my salmon?
not sure if my question was sent. can i include lean pork in my diet?
Yes it was. I have already answered to it. Feel free to ask anytime. Good luck!
hi! i am going to start the diet tomorrow. i bought meat and poultry and oat bran. i have been reviewing over and over the food list and i can't find lean pork in the list except for the cured pork. can i include lean pork in the attack phase? is it okay to cook the meat with soup?
Yes you can. The list consists only of the 100 original foods. I am working on a extended list now, and lean pork will be included. Just make sure it is lean. Minced pork is usually not lean enough, but extra lean, trimmed to 0 fat cuts are ok.
So, let me get this straight… NO vegetables during the attack phase? I am planning on starting Dukan soon and wanted to clarify.
No vegetables. You can use some herbs and things like pickles though (in moderation, as condiments).
Can you drink shake supplements like Slim fast on either phase?
It depends on the supplement nutrition values. No fat, carbs or sugar allowed. Besides, this diet works better when you stick to natural foods, so shakes can be only made a small addition to the diet menu. What shake do you have in mind exactly?
The percentage share of carbohydrates is high, but the serving size is very small, so it shouldn't interfere much with your dieting process. If you notice no, or unsatisfactory, progress, you may want to stop taking it. Otherwise, it's pretty much ok.
Thank you, but i was wondering..Is it possible if i take oatmeal instead of oat bran?because they don't sell oat bran here.
It seems like it's cereal, not pure oat bran! I'm afraid you might have made a mistake. What you need here is pure oat bran, not any other product with oat bran as a ingredient.
Yup, this one looks just fine. Go for it.
No, this is a no-no. It's cereal, not pure oat bran. It is packed with carbs and contain too much sugar to be of any use in dukan diet.
You just did :). What's on your mind?
Dukan diet: is low-carb, is low-fat, is low-salt, prescribes exercising. Pretty much everything that is useful in combating type 2 dibetes :).
Most of the menus relate to main meals, what do you reccommend for breakfast in the attack stage.
can bell peppers, yellow, orange etc be ok to use in the attack stage ?
Officially no, you can have them later :). On the other hand many people use marinated peppers as a addition to meals in the Attack Phase. In my opinion, you shouldn't eat bell peppers in the attack Phase. If you want to add some variety to your meals in the Attack Phase, check out: gherkins/pickles, sauerkraut, Belgian endive, some herbs. They are better choices.
I live in Australia. How can I join this program???
Just read the info here and start doing it :). There's also a book on this diet, probably more detailed info there.
the book says no. But on here it says white cheese ok any help.
or is there a nutrition value which is safe?
Question 1: I am on the attack now for 4 days, and this is my fifth and I lost 2 kg, is that ok ?
1. I guess it is. 2kgs in four days. It's more than ok. Congrats!
Can we add onions to our food during the attack phase. i.e for cooking with meat and using the onion juice for seasonng the meat ???
Not recommended, too much carbs. But there are some other options, try: chives, parsley leaves, dill, and fresh herbs like: basil, coriander, marjoram, thyme or rosemary. The latter (both fresh or dried) is my favorite when it comes to cooking meat.
shallots etc are not only allowed but highly recommended.
So if up till now I've usually eaten about 40g of fiber/day (from various sources, mostly nuts) eating more than 1,5 tbsp of oat bran during he attack phase won't be considered "breaking the rules"?
No, there's no breaking rules here. In your case, easting more than standard 1.5 tbsp of oat bran a day is recommended.
Thank You admin for your reply, but I just need to understand the idea, th dukan diet specifies 1.5 then 2 then 2.5 then 3. Is that for a reason , I dont understand.
1. Dukan specifies the amount so that dieters don't need to ponder over it. Clear rules are easier to follow.
2. Dietary fiber have purgative properties. People who are not used to significant quantities of dietary fiber in their diet are diarrhea.
Neither dietary fiber nor oat bran are toxic or dangerous. That said, they work best when used in moderation. On the other hand, if you're used to have fiber rich foods, there's no problem with having larger quantities of oat bran daily that recommended.
You can have more than 1.5 tbsp of oat bran / day, only make sure your body is already accustomed to larger amounts of dietary fiber. Otherwise too much oat bran can cause a sudden purge :). Don't forget about substantial hydration when eating a lot of fiber rich products (like oat bran).
1. Smoken Salmon – allowed?
2. Baking Powder – allowed ?
Baking powder — yes, as long as you use it baking powder :).
Excercise — it is a must. You will probably lose weight without it, but still it is a waste of effort since diet+excercise is way more effective, and will make you feel & look much fitter, healthier. You need to make your body move, stretch and work. Your working muscles will improve your figure, quicker burn unwanted body fat and help your skin and complexion adapt to a new, slender you.
i guess my questions come un anserwered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anything else except for fiber and protein in those bars? No sugar? No carbs?
so are you saying u can have them. I understand about sugar and carbs.
It depends on the nutritional values of those products. Post some nutrition facts and we'll see.
AFAIK, they are not 'diet compliant'.
That's right, eat as many eggs as you like.
Thank you for your prompt response, but low fat turkey slices are also not allowed?
Depends on the kind of the product. Usually it is low-fat enough. It would help it you could define what kind (brand) of turkey slices we are talking about here.
plz can hot dog and low fat turkey slices be use in phase 1 ?
Im desperate now for an answer. I bought dukan book for receipes.
on it now 2 mnths getting bored of same old.
im very confused as some receipe says to add salt. eg salt crusted chicken.
but then says dont use salt because it retains water?????
also with oil says no oil, but in receipes it says use drop oil wipe clean.
I am in Australia and want to make dukan bread.
Heat process your food in a way that exclude the use of any oil (roast, grill, steam etc.) If you want to pan-fry, use good non sticky pan.
I guess a good alternative to quark/fromage frais (they are both much the same) can be cottage cheese or really thick, non-fat greek yogurt.
Hello, i was wondering I can consume just a little bit of honey in my porridge in Phase 1. Less than a tea spoon. Thank you.
Not very smart in Phase I. Although very nutritious and rich in vitamins and minerals, honey is nothing but pure simple sugar (glucose + fructose). I gather that you want to use honey for its flavor but still I would advise against any deviations from the diet in early stages. Try to develop a taste for the natural and simple foods. It will make your dieting process more efficient and more effective.
I add a sprinkle of cinnimon to my oat bran. Tastes great!
During the attack phase (or any phase) can you eat turkey sausage snack sticks?
Not in the Attack phase, but later on, yes. Don't eat too much of it though, protein to fat ratio is not that good.
Chicken breast and poultry in general, of course.
During attack phase, can we eat lamb.
It is not advies to eat lamb or pork during the Attack Phase. It's better to focus on the leanest meats like beef, veal and poultry.
I am a bit confused….. Other than the protein foods allowed what else is allowed at least for the Attack fase. Is there any link you can attach or send me for the whole information,the whole diet.I mean, WHAT TO EAT EXACTLY FROM THE BEGGINING FOR ALL FASES,like the Ducan Diet for Dummies !! I thank you in advance and sorry if I sound a little rude with these caps lock words… It's just that bI have just came back from a flight-a few hours ago and I met a friend who lost with the Ducan Diet 19 kilos !!!!! I was soooo amazed and he was talking about the diet for the entire 2 hour flight. I would appreciate if you can provide me the appropriate link/s for me to download,print and get started!!!!
Are you allowed to use non sugar almond milk or coconut milk non sugar on this diet? Can you use spray canola oil on your grill hard to fry or grill with nothing on pan or grill to keep from sticking. NO vegetables on the attack phase at all?
Thank you for answering I need to go on this diet asap.
I read the book tonight and wanted to start the diet tomorrow. However, I am still breastfeeding my 9 month old and am confused about whether this is safe. I read page 134 but am still confused. Thanks.
Is salt allowed? I wasn't sure.
Hey, are nuts not allowed (such as whole natural almonds)?
No, not in Phase 1 or 2. Though very healthy, they are too fatty.
Throughout the entire Dukan diet you can eat to your heart's content as long as you eat the allowed foods. So basically, you can eat as much meat (that meets the diet requirements) as you want.
It's ok but pure water is just more healthy in general :).
i just wanted to confirm that in the FIRST phase of the diet i can eat ff or low fat cottage cheese, and cheese sticks—as well as shredded cheese?
what are cheese sticks and shredded cheese in your understanding? Can you post any nutritional facts here? FF or low fat cottage cheese is ok.
Hi, I am wondering if i am able to include protein shakes in this first phase? they consist of protein powder 2 tb low fat yoghurt and quarter cup of skim milk?
It's not completely forbidden to supplement your diet with protein shakes but the dukan diet works best when you rely on natural sources of protein. Note, that by depriving your body of carbs and fats you upset your body's balance a bit. This is a desired effect but let's not go crazy with it. Protein shakes will very likely shake that balance even more as they rarely are balanced enough to match natural products. Moreover, protein shakes contain significant amounts of carbs and you don't want that in your diet. So, in conclusion, if you will serve yourself a protein shake now and then it will probably won't be that bad. On the other hand, replacing natural sources of protein by commercially prepared powders is not a good idea in the long run. Please be cautious when choosing powders and read nutrition data label carefully. Never use powders that contain more than, let's say 6% of carbs in any form (sugar or complex carbohydrates).
Thanks for the reply. I do not consume Fish/egg/any meat. I am a pure veggie. Please advise on this.
Still, can you eat dairy or not?
Do you eat milk/dairy? Fish?
can you mail me the details how to follow 5day regime. i mean what to eat in detail.
I'm still a little confused about having Fat Free/Non Fat cheese during the Attack Phase.
I know that FF sour cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese and ricotta cheese is acceptable.
Wondering if I can have Laughing Cow wedges and/or Fat Free Cheddar, Mozzarella, Pepper Jack, Parmesan, etc on this diet during the first two phases ( Attack and Cruise).
I would like too know to! | c4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
BkiUepjxK4sA-5fmyh8c | Exeter and Greater Exeter food and drink businesses have come together to sign up to an exciting new initiative which is set to place Exeter on the map as a major new foodie destination.
Food and drink producers, retailers and restaurateurs gathered at an exclusive event at Exeter Cookery School to find out more about the new Exeter Food and Drink Trail. Created by Visit Exeter, the trail aims to embrace businesses that celebrate local produce, both in the dishes that they create, and the artisan produce that they harvest, craft or sell.
The pre-launch event saw an abundance of food and drink businesses sign up, all keen to be a part of the trail. Leading the way were Quicke's Farm Shop, Pebblebed Wines, Darts Farm, Hotel du Vin, Exeter Gin and the Exeter Cookery School.
Ambassadors Mary Quicke of Quicke's Cheese, Karen Skerratt of Exeter Gin and Jim and Lucy Fisher of Exeter Cookery School addressed business figures at the pre-launch, revealing even more details of the exciting initiative.
At the centre of the Exeter Food and Drink Trail is a beautiful map created by illustrator Aylwyn Bowen. Once complete, the map will pinpoint the locations of local food and drink producers, foodie experiences and eateries. Foodies will be able to use the map as a resource to embark on a journey of discovery.
The Exeter Food and Drink Trail will include exclusive experiences such as brewery tours, cheese tasting, wine tasting, tours of the honey producing hives on the Princesshay rooftop and classes at the Exeter Cookery School. Exciting competitions and the opportunity to put together trail gift packages will connect local businesses with a national audience.
With plans to promote the trail at a number of local events and raise the profile of Visit Exeter's social media pages, Visit Exeter hopes to increase footfall to the Exeter and Greater Exeter foodie scene.
Now, the official Exeter Food and Drink Trail map has gone into production and will go to print and online with the self-guided trail guide by August, in time for the consumer launch.

BkiUakjxK3YB9m8SUN59 | Last night i met a fellow geek. I got to talk wih her for a few hours and was able to share all things whovian with her. I hope we get to talk again. We talked so long the front desknhad to remind us it was quite time at the hostel. So, i went up to bed and went to sleep.
Today I woke up ready to rock, ready to roll. I packed up my gear and started to get dressed for the day. I reached to adjust my necklace holding my most precious belonging on my trip, the symbol of my ultimate goal, as I adjusted the necklace snaps and falls to the floor. The ring, her ring, missing, nowhere to be found. My heart sank. I searched and searched, frantic. Retracing all of steps, my movements, nope. It was gone. I told the people at the hostel, and they came to my rescue to help find the ring. After searching and seraching, we found nothing. I was devistated. I left my info with the wonderful people at the front desk, and went to load my cart. As I preparing to leave I realized I can't find my phone charger. I can't leave without that. So I search and search, nothing, what a day. As I am searching I go through my clothes, one by one I pull them out. As I get to the last item, I hear a clank, it's the ring. My heart jumped for joy. I then immediately remember I put the charger in the pocket of my bag. The Lord made me lose my charger so I could find the ring. So once again my energy shoots up. I'm ready to roll, I set off on the road again. Along the bike path today I met quite a few people and once again they were Martha's best, all super nice, all caring and interested in my story. This island has been a joy. I love it. I see why people come back. I also met a gentleman today who is taking me to weigh in tomorrow and help me with protein drinks for my trip. I'll tell you all about that in tomorrow's blog.
After riding today I felt tired but proud that I went over 8 miles today. Better everyday. I'm at my campground and ready for my weigh in tomorrow. So for now, it's time for sleep. Night all! Back to the mainland tomorrow. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 |

Rutgers Engineers Develop Affordable Microcentrifuge
Tom Spendlove posted on August 09, 2017 |
When Jason Wu completed his research internship at the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy and the Environment and Occupational Health Services Institute at Rutgers he noticed that lab equipment was difficult to obtain outside of research laboratories. Inspired by the idea that biotechnology instruments should be available to anyone, he started to develop a low-cost microcentrifuge. His project Polyfuge is now running a Kickstarter campaign to help in the production of the centrifuges and raise awareness about the device. Polyfuge is a microcentrifuge using open-source code and the Arduino platform that costs $96.
There's a great quote in the Kickstarter campaign video from Jason Sullivan – he says that the mindset in the modern STEM lab is changing from needing to buy lab equipment to finding a way to build lab equipment. Wu presented Polyfuge at STEM education conferences, including STEMteachersNYC at Columbia University and Montgomery High School's STEM Day event. The demonstrations gave the project feedback and also insight into new ways that students might use the microcentrifuge to perform research.
Polyfuge comes with two experiments, a Casein Precipitation experiment using milk and a DNA Extraction protocol that uses spit samples. These two experiments are already a great base for sparking student interest in bioresearch, and the team is planning an online database where users can submit test results that come from Polyfuge. The current rotor is compatible with 1.5 and 2.0 milliLiter microcentrifuge tubes. The unit consists of 3D printed casing, an LCD display, the Arduino controller and a 3D printed rotor. The campaign page does not discuss the unit's motor. Users can control the speed and time of the centrifuge through the LCD user interface.
We've written recently about low-cost centrifuge tools and the benefits of making medical equipment available to anyone. This is a great entry into affordable and DIY research level equipment. I'm always happy to see open-source coding using the Arduino platform and believe that most of the time if you release the code to the end users of a product they will find a way to improve it. This Kickstarter campaign has already hit its curious goal of $1,442 and fully assembled kits are expected to ship in December 2017.

BkiUdlQ4uzlh5508AvIE | James Anderson chats to us about his departure from Holby City.
Holby City fans saw James Anderson bow out from the show this evening (July 9) as his troubled character Oliver Valentine left the hospital for a fresh start.
The actor filmed his final scenes earlier this year, but show bosses decided not to announce his exit to give viewers an element of surprise.
Digital Spy recently chatted to James to hear why he left Holby and what he thought of Oliver's final storyline.
How are you feeling now that your time on Holby City has come to an end?
"I feel good, although obviously I miss aspects of the job! It's quite a strange one because I finished shooting four months ago now, so I've already come through that weird process you go through when you come out of a show that you've been part of for some time.
"Initially it was a very strange feeling, because I'd been with the programme for a while. All of a sudden I wasn't doing 100-hour weeks anymore, so it was like someone just flipping a switch and I was faced with a hole that Holby had filled for so long. I'd also made a lot of friends there and learned a lot as an actor thanks to Holby, so the immediate after-effect was strange.
"Now that some time has passed, it's nice to just look back and focus on all of the positive aspects of that job."
Was leaving Holby a difficult choice to make?
"It was a very hard decision. As an actor, Holby was a bit of a school for me - it trained me up! Even though I've been to drama school, to have so many days working is something that every actor wants. I was very fortunate with the stories I was given over the years, so to walk away from all of that was very, very hard - especially when I was so happy there.
"However, I had done four and a half years, so I felt that it was time to spread my wings and possibly see what else is out there for me. It was a good time to go, because I've been very lucky with having such a great story for a long time. That allowed me to go out on a real high, although it was actually a bit of a low in terms of the character!"
Your exit from Holby wasn't announced. Has it been difficult not to mention it on Twitter in the past four months?
"Yeah, I have wanted to talk about it, so it's been very difficult! However, I think if you're a fan of the show, it would have been a bit of a shame to know in advance that Oliver was leaving. If you know all of the spoilers before you see the episode, it ruins the surprise, so I felt that it was important to keep it secret."
Was your last day on set emotional?
"It was! The last scene of the episode was actually the last thing I shot, which never happens on these shows, because we don't film in chronological order. I was quite lucky in that sense, although it did put a lot of pressure on me because I wanted it to be right.
"Also, everyone at the BBC who works on Holby was there to watch it, which was really sweet. Everyone applauded after the scene, so I really was moved by the whole thing. It was a really nice send-off."
Did you also have a leaving party?
"Slightly dangerously, it was the night before my last day! I was feeling quite delicate, but again that was really lovely and they made me a video of my best and worst bits, which we all watched together. On these kinds of occasions, you're really reminded of what a special place Holby is. I feel very lucky to have made so many great friends."
Were you pleased with Ollie's exit storyline?
"Yeah, I was. I met with the producers about a year ago to talk about moving on, and we were all very keen to leave Ollie on a positive note. He has really gone through the mill with losing his sister, losing his wife and really falling apart.
"I wanted that to be authentic and I wanted that story to be told in a way that was truthful. That meant there couldn't be a Hollywood ending for the character, because the hard truth of bereavement is not always resolved in an easy way.
"At the same time, I wanted there to be a trace of redemption in there for Ollie, so fans could see that there is a future for this character. I was really glad that it played out that way. When you spend so many years working on one character, you start to care quite a lot about a person that doesn't exist!"
Did you ever get any stick from viewers when Ollie behaved badly?
"I did, but thankfully, I think the Holby viewer is able to distinguish between the characters and the people playing them! Of course Oliver is a fallible character and he makes mistakes - that was one of the things that first drew me to him when I auditioned for the role. However, I think you saw him growing up, both as a human being and a doctor. I really enjoyed that, and it was often his mistakes that made him a human being."
In his final scene, Ollie said that he'd be back! Does it feel like a door has been left open there for you?
"Well, they were very sweet to me and have left the door open. I have had an amazing time at Holby, so I would absolutely never say never to going back. It's been a formative time of my life, I've made great friends and I've learned a lot about the job that I'll hopefully be able to do for some time."
Can you name any personal highlights from your time on the show?
"There really are too many to mention, but for me it really was the working relationships I was able to have with so many great actors, directors and writers. You get so much exposure to the industry by working in an environment like that, so it really was invaluable.
"In terms of story, I was lucky to have a couple of standalone episodes about Oliver, where I was able to leave the studios and go elsewhere. They were really fun to do - it was always a bit like going on a school trip!"
"Everyone, really! I've been back a couple of times to see the cast and crew, which has been lovely. I socialise with a lot of them. Paul Bradley who plays Elliot actually lives around the corner from me, so I see a lot of him locally. That's great, as we spent a lot of time working together."
What have you been up to since leaving?
"I've been working on the last ever Poirot for ITV, which has been a brilliant job. We've been shooting it in the same town where we film Holby, which has been a little bit strange! We've also been shooting scenes in Devon at Agatha Christie's house, and it's been a real joy because it's so different to Holby in so many ways. It's great to put on a different set of clothes and have a different look.
"That's what I'm working on at the moment, and in the future I'd really like to do some theatre, which is what I was doing before I joined Holby. It is a love of mine and I'd really like to go and do some more."
How would you like Ollie to be remembered?
"As an actor, you have to love the character that you play, and my goal was to make him three-dimensional. I'm sure people hated him at times, and other times they saw where he was coming from. If people responded to him, that's really all I could have asked for!"
James will be doing a live Q&A for fans on his Twitter account @jimeroo this evening (July 9).
Holby City airs Tuesdays at 8pm on BBC One.

BkiUe9w5qhLBs5BiGj4i | The protecting champions, Chennai Tremendous Kings, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in a sensational end to their IPL 2019 fixture in opposition to the Rajasthan Royals on the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday.
The win concerned many dramatic moments – MS Dhoni uncharacteristically misplaced his cool, Mitchell Santner hit the overall ball for a six, however the drama opened up with the primary ball of Ben Stokes' ultimate over of the fit.
The England all-rounder bowled a large fuller-length supply to Ravindra Jadeja who slipped within the procedure of having underneath it. Funnily sufficient Stokes additionally misplaced his footing on the different finish. Each the gamers watched the ball going top into the air but it surely carried on its momentum and landed method out of doors the boundary rope.
Stokes grimaced, whilst non-striker Dhoni walked to his spouse, chuckling, to provide a pleasant faucet on his helmet with the bat.
Although Stokes blank bowled Dhoni off the 3rd ball of the over, Mitchell Santner's last-ball six sealed the fit for CSK by way of four-wickets. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUc6PxK5YsWV5L3m85 | The citizens of Calaveras County, California, are ready to hold their annual "Jumping Frog Jubilee," a tradition begun 144 years ago by that celebrated expert on things amphibian, Mark Twain. Suddenly, though, plans are put on hold when the event's redoubtable champion and odds-on favorite to five-peat, Buford the Bullfrog, is found dead in Critter's Creek—"croaked!"—with foul play suspected. Worse is to follow: Soon thereafter, it's Dakota Webster, Buford's owner-trainer, who turns up dead in the water—drugged, dragged, dumped, and drowned. No one really cared for arrogant, double-dealing Dakota (good with frogs, bad with people), but as everyone in Flat Skunk knows, Jeremiah Mercer, the sheriff's son, cared for him least of all—in part because his frogs so often finished second to Dakota's. But clever Connor Westphal, heroine of this quintessentially cozy series (the paperback A Quiet Undertaking, etc.) knows better than to trust conventional wisdom. Connor, a deaf journalist with a nose for news and nuance, rules out young Mercer on the basis of what her instincts tell her—that he's far too nice to be a murderer. Mean-spirited Janet Macavity and fanatical frog-defender Carrie Yates are, in Connie's view, much likelier suspects. She's right, of course, though when the killer is at length unmasked (literally), the result owes more to happenstance than to the heroine's skimpy detecting.
Connie's lively and plucky, but when it comes down to hard-core sleuthing, she clearly hasn't a clue. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUaPPxK1yAgWt77jsG | St. Clair River float down: After last year's debacle, smaller crowd takes part in yearly pleasure cruise
By Paul Morden
Police, fire and Coast Guard agencies from both sides of the St. Clair River were out in force Sunday Aug. 20, 2017 for the start of this year's float down. (PAUL MORDEN, The Observer)
Dozens of Canadians joined hundreds of Americans in floating down the St. Clair River in an event Sunday that drew spectators to the Point Edward and Sarnia waterfront and a fleet of first responders.
Canadian Coast Guard officials estimated 100 people riding on inflatable rafts left from the Canadian side, and as many as 1,500 entered the river from the Michigan side in what was billed as the 40th year for the unsanctioned event.
A 30-year-old American woman and two teenagers were pulled from the river by the Canadian Coast Guard after their dinghy deflated, spokesperson Carol Launderville said.
They weren't injured and were bought to the Canadian shore, where arrangements were made to return them home, she said.
Some Canadian participants left shore at 12:30 p.m. with the bulk of American floaters beginning to set out at 1 p.m. for the 12-km float to Chrysler Beach in Marysville, Mich.
Canadian participants were said to be aiming for Guthrie Park, across from Marysville.
Early Sunday afternoon, the U.S. Coast Guard posted a notice on its Facebook page saying winds from the south were causing floaters to move slower than anticipated and that completing the route could take six hours.
Colin Leco travelled from London to take part along with his sister and father.
Leco said they heard about the event on the news last year and decided to take part after seeing on social media Canadians were organizing a float down on the same day.
"I honestly haven't heard a single one," Leco said when asked about safety warnings officials issued about the event.
Doug Ford accused of breaking rules to help preferred candidate win...

TLW develop an appreciation and respect of the rain forest and the animals in it.
TLW utilize the meaning of the word endangered by doing the following: listening to a story read, choosing and painting an animal from the rain forest, then after gathering data will discuss and explain how and why the animal is endangered.
"Can anyone tell me what the word endangered means? "
**The teacher will discuss the meaning and expound on student responses.
"Since we have been talking about the rain forest can anyone tell be what type of things are endangered in the rain forest?"
**The teacher will discuss a few of the endangered animals and plants in the rainforest and expound on student responses.
"We are going to learn more about the word endangered by doing some research, some painting and by having small group discussion. "
watching for an animal that they would like to paint and learn more about.
2. read the book Animals of the Rainforest by L. Stone and will stop periodically to ask questions to keep attention.
4. observe and assist in the student's quest for the animal they want.
5. monitor time and transition students to designated area for painting instruction.
6. sketch an animal to give the students an idea of size and detail expected on painting.
7. monitor and assist while the students are working on their paintings.
8. allow students time to research the following questions using materials in the room: 1. Where does the animal live? 2. Why is it endangered?
9. group students in a random order of four or five to share about their animals. TTW instruct the students their discussion specifics must include the two previous questions.
1. paint an endangered animal of their choice.
2. research the two questions from materials in the classroom.
3. participate in small group discussion.
TTW will ask the students to give an example of an animal that is endangered and will restate the definition of endangered. "We have discussed the meaning of endangered and have given examples of animals that are endangered. If you feel it is important to do everything we can to help protect these animals give a thumbs up, if not give a thumbs down. Either way, be ready to explain your choice."
Physically and mentally challenged students can be paired with a peer tutor. These students can work together to come up with the research information collaboratively. Depending upon severity of the challenge the teacher could draw the shape of the animal of their choice for them and they could paint the details.
1. Language Arts and listening skills are integrated by reading Animals of the Rainforest by L. Stone. Also these skills are used through the research completed to find the information needed on each animal.
2. Science is integrated through the discussion of habitats and endangered status of animals.
3. Geography is integrated through the study of where the rainforests are located and where their animal lives.
4. Socialization and collaborative skills are integrated through the group activities.
1. observe attention during instruction times.
2. observe participation efforts in research.
3. observe participation in painting.
4. observe participation in small group instruction.
Have the students write a factual paragraph about their animal and display it under their painting in a classroom exhibit. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUe6nxK6wB9mpb3s5j | Q: How do you replace the FK naming convention in EF 6? I've created a custom naming convention for foreign keys and can add it to the conventions:
builder.Conventions.Add(new UnderscorelessForeignKeyNamingConvention());
For the code below
class Address { City City { get; set; } }
I get City_Id column not found. What combination of Add, Add<>, and Remove<> calls on builder.Conventions would remove the existing naming convention or effectively allow mine to be considered first?
I've looked through the conventions under the debugger and documention, and it isn't obvious to me.
A: Generated foreign key columns are referred to as Independent associations by EntityFramework. Since these columns are generated by EntityFramework as it build the model these columns will not be accessible from custom conventions and it is necessary to use Model based conventions. This is the problem that you are running into with the convention above.
Model based conventions are documented here In the documentation there is a specific example about detecting and renaming independent association columns. Once you write a convention that does this, you should simply need to add it to the conventions list.

BkiUcyDxK0-nUGYe5pAF | X-Men spin off Gifted looks so good. The trailer was very well executed. The mutant hate factor sets the stage but the soul of the show centers around a family whose out to protect their children who they just learnt are mutants. What tugs more on the feels is that the dad captures and imprisons mutants for a living.
But the kicker is that the family we follow has the last name Strucker. This last name is notorious to one of Hydra's leader Baron Von Strucker so could this family be his decedents?
We also get more fan favorites Blink, Thunderbird, Eclipse and the daughter of the Master of Magnetism himself. This is a show with HUGE potential. If they ever bring in x-men A class heroes and villains, I would die happy.
This show caught me off guard. I only watched it because people keep talking about it. And then I couldn't stop watching it. Remember those times when there weren't any new videos from me for weeks at a time? You can blame Stranger things for it. I binge watched the hell out of this show so its no surprise when I say that I was super stoked for the trailer. And oh man did it deliver. The problem with child actors and actresses is that they grow up too fast so the directors have to pump out these stories ASAP. That means great things for us fans. The last Demigorgon is gone and this new monster looks to be even more intimidating than the last. Will still is connected to the upside down somehow and we of course get the return of eleven.
Westworld is a show that you must watch more than once to fully understand. Or you can do what I did and watch it till the end, discover the twist ending and rewatch it from the beginning again. So if you have never seen the first season of westworld, you are doing yourself a disservice. Check out season 1 and thank your lucky stars that Season 2 will start soon.
The last season of the flash ended with the speed force claiming Barry Allen. This teaser trailer appears to take place in episode 1 where the gang encounters a new foe they cant handle. So of course Cisco develops a device to bring Barry Allen back to central city. Then we get a shot of who we believe to be the flash running towards salvation. But it seems all too predictable. What I would rather see is for Barry Allen to be MIA for a little bit and this new Flash to be from a parallel earth. Help the team or create more Chaos? Let the righters decide.
The 100 hundred was a show I had to watch with my wife since I'm making her watch too many of my super hero shows. But man did it surprise me. I've never been at the edge of my seat more than this show. Every season the hero group faces an impossible challenge and somehow they come out of it somewhat OK. Ohh and there are deaths. Much like Game Of Thrones, they arnt afraid to kill off characters but the main ones seem to be exempt from this rule. So ya, there I said it, I am excited for the next season of the 100.
Alright so there I said it. There are so many more trailers I didn't get a chance to discuss because, well frankly, I wasn't as excited to see – some of them being Legends of tomorrow, Arrow, Gotham, Supergirl and supernatural. | c4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUdtA4eIfiUWUddnCw | Oh @#$%, Bruce Timm is leaving DC animation?!
Filed to:dc
Bruce Timm has been more or less in charge of DC's cartoons and animated movies since 1992, when Batman: The Animation Series first debuted, and it's no coincidence that DC cartoons have generally been uniformly awesome since then. But now Bruce Timm is stepping down from his role as supervising producer of DC animation to work on more personal projects.
Two things: 1) Having steered the best, most functional portion of DC entertainment for over 20 years, Timm has definitely put his time in, so we should just count ourselves lucky he stuck around so long; 2) he'll be replaced by James Tucker, who's got plenty of DC animation experience, having directed and/or produced Batman Beyond, Justice League, Batman: Brave and the Bold, Static Shock, and more. Also, Tucker has a very promising quote in an interview he gave to Voices from Krypton:
"I'd love to use more of a variety of characters, but that's something I don't have control over," [Tucker] says. "Granted, Dark Knight Returns was long overdue to be adapted and I'm glad they did it and did it superbly. But beyond that, I'm not really interested in replicating, image by image, word for word, something that was in a comic book, because you can't replicate that experience or feeling. You're basically getting a secondary experience, so you have to make it your own in order to make it work as a movie. Creating films in which people are going through it with a checklist saying, 'Okay, they took that out, they took that out…' I'm not interested in doing anything like that."
That sounds great. Still, though... a Bruce Timm-less DC animated universe sounds like a pretty weird place to be. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdd04uzqh_O2xymRf | My doctor said my baby is too small for 11 weeks gestation. Any similar stories?
Hello everyone i'm new here, i'm 11 weeks pregnant. Just went today to my second prenatal visit, the doctor couln't find my baby's heartbeat and i'm so terrified! He also said that the baby is smaller than he/she should be at 11 weeks. He did a normal ultrasound and also a transvaginal one and couldn't find the heartbeat. I've cried all day since i left the doctor's office. I'm really scared!!!!
I went in and should have been 11 weeks but ultrasound put me at 7wks 4 days. I was able to see heartbeat, but I had delayed ovulation and wasn't as far along as my LMP said I was. I knew I had delayed ovulation b/c I was taking my basal body temp. No temp rise until after day 39 of my cycle. That is when I conceived.
i have heard that sometimes it is difficult to find the heartbeat. my cousin is pregnant along with me and when she first went to the doctor he said she was 5 months pregnant. few weeks later when it was time for another appointment he said actually she is 7 months pregnant. they were confused bcuz of the size of the baby. they told her the wrong due date by 2 months! so maybe you arent 11 weeks along? in very early pregnancy they cant always see the heartbeat. i wish u the best of luck!
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. It gives me hope for my u/s tomorrow! Best of luck to you , your cousin and both your babies!
Hi. I went to my ultrasound yesterday, but i wasn;t able to get it done, so i went today and i found out waht i feared, I lost the baby. I had a miscarriage. I'm debastated! Please pray for me! thank you! | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUcBrxK1ThhAqzVeYA | Growing up in Southern California my family's airport of choice was Los Angeles International. There is very little that is good about LAX. It's too old to be nice or clean and too new to be considered classic or unique. The only thing LAX has going for it is celebrity-sighting.
When they travel internationally, and they certainly do, most Hollywood celebrities fly in and out of LAX. This means that if you keep a sharp eye out for tiny people with big heads wearing sunglasses indoors, you're likely to spot at least one mid-grade actor near a Starbucks. Even if it is just Gilbert Gottfried.
Because of this I don't usually get tongue-tied or starstruck when I run into someone like Danny Glover at the Smarte Carte return. I just smile and keep moving.
The closest I've ever come to making a fool out of myself was the time I saw Diane Lane buying a copy of USA Today. I was 22 and I had just turned around from the register after purchasing some mints. We were face to face.
Hers, a face that's launched a thousand ships, mine a ship of fools.
I said, "Pardon me", nodded my head, and sidestepped her. As I walked to my gate I congratulated myself on not saying or doing something embarrassing or untoward. I realized then that I do pretty well when I'm around people whom others lose their minds over.
I was once nearly trampled by a throng of Michael Jackson fans just outside the Log Jammer at Knott's Berry Farm. I kept my cool while he walked right by.
One of my good friends told Jennifer Love Hewitt that "he loved her" when we bumped into her at Disneyland. Her response, "I know…". I just kept walking.
I thought that this was because I was somehow "immune" to celebrity. Like maybe I had seen enough of it and now I was so mature that it didn't affect me. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Thunder Bay Down Under Summertime Spin Series – AC/DC
November 28, 2020 destroyerofharmonyAC DC, Series, Summertime, TNT 10 Comments
Summer is a few days away in the Southern Hemisphere, but since we are experiencing a heatwave write now with temperatures in the high 30s and low 40s Celsius (between 100 and 107 Fahrenheit), so it's time to start the Summertime Series.
So how did this come about?
My blogger pal Deke over at Thunder Bay had a cool Northern Hemisphere Summertime Series between July and August. Each week, he wrote about albums he spun during the summer.
Well, the real Earth summer is between December, January and February in the Southern Hemisphere. So the good act that Thunder Bay is, boarded a Qantas plane, landed in Sydney, survived 14 days quarantine in a Sydney hotel and is finally here to present the "Thunder Bay Down Under Summertime Series".
And all the acts will be Australian acts.
So based on the high temperatures we are experiencing, lets kick off with a dynamite of an album.
AC/DC – TNT
Released 1 December 1975.
In the 80's this became my go to record and because of its December release in the 70's, it was played a fair bit on the various radio stations in the 80s.
It was originally released by Albert Productions in Australia and in some other parts of the world. It was also released in the same year as "High Voltage" the Australian version.
However when Atlantic Records signed the band, they more or less killed the "TNT" and "High Voltage" Australian albums. From "TNT", they took all the songs they wanted except for "Rocker" and "School Days" and released them on "High Voltage", which is AC/DC's first international release on Atlantic Records in May 1976.
From the Australian, "High Voltage" album, the label, took "She's Got Balls" and "Little Lover". The other tracks like "Baby Please Don't Go", "Soul Stripper", "You Ain't Got a Hold On Me" and "Show Business" were later released on '74 Jailbreak in 1984 much to the disgust of Malcolm Young. "Stick Around" and "Love Song" got an international release on "Backtracks"
Producing the"TNT" album is George Young and Harry Vanda from The Easybeats. George of course is the older brother of guitarists Malcolm Young and Angus Young and he also played a large part in constructing the songs. An uncredited co-writer with his bro's.
The bass player on the album is Mark Evans. He did his own concert tribute series to his time with AC/DC in Australia in the early 2000's with guest vocalists from Australian rock bands. It was probably the next best thing to watching AC/DC live.
The three big ones are "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)", "High Voltage" and "TNT". "High Voltage" has that A – C – D – C chord progression for the Chorus. A cool little Angus Young nugget. And "TNT" has a similar progression but in E – G – A – G.
But it's those other derivative album tracks that hooked me.
Like "Rock 'N' Roll Singer". Musically it's a derivative version of "Long Way To The Top". Even the story line in the lyrics is derivative of "Long Way To The Top".
My daddy was working nine to five when my momma was having me.
By the time I was half alive I knew what I was gonna be.
I left school and grew my hair, they didn't understand, they wanted me to be respected as a doctor or a lawyer man, but I had other plans.
Gonna be a rock and roll singer.
And then it changes with "The Jack". A foot stomping dirgey 12 bar blues romp, about a sexually transmitted disease told like a card game. Because how was Bon Scott to know that his lady friend had been dealt with before, as she said to him she never had a full house. I guess that was all lies, because she had the card that would bring him down.
It's brilliant.
"Live Wire" has all the bits and pieces of songs that would come later. "Who Made Who" is there. "Touch Too Much" is there. "You Shook Me All Night Long" is there. "Whole Lotta Rosie" is there. And of course, "Dirty Deeds" is there.
The lead break from Angus, is one of my favourites here. It has so many different techniques and styles all in one cohesive solo.
And Bon Scott was rivalling Gene Simmons in the lyrical department, with "like a hot rod baby, stick this in your fuse box".
"Rocker" is a 3 minute "Baby Please Don't Go" on steroids.
"Can I Sit Next to You Girl" has this groove that I call the "Status Quo" groove.
And those little riff fills in the verses.
How good are they?
"School Days" is a Chuck Berry cover. And when you hear the riff, you can appreciate how the Young brothers took all of their different influences and created their Aussie Pub Rock song. Because the main riff in "School Days" can be interchanged with "Long Way To The Top" and it wouldn't be out of place. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdGI5qYVBNjBBb8RT | Home Inspiration Hawaiian Leis, A beautiful complement for your special day!
The lei tradition was born in Hawaii with the arrival of early Polynesian voyagers who took an incredible journey all the way from Tahiti to this wonderful place. They were worn as we wear jewelry today, to beautify and distinguish themselves from others.
But as time went by the lei became a symbol of the Islands welcoming visitors from all over the world and turning into a very popular element for all kinds of events including of course weddings!
In old Hawaii, wedding leis were used to symbolize the sacred union of the bride and the groom. The minister leader called Kahu would use the lei to bind the couple's hands during the ceremony representing their commitment to each other.
These leis were made out of flowers, leaves, feather, seeds, and even teeth and bone of certain animals. Flowers leis are the most common lei type today, however, leis made out of non-perishable elements are still constructed and sold at very high prices.
Hawaiian leis are a very popular item for weddings today. You don't need to have a tropical theme to have leis all over the place for your wedding. They can be used in place of or complementing flower bouquets or corsages, and are worn by the bride, groom or any member of the wedding party. Just remember: leis should be a welcomed celebration of one person's affection for another so never refuse one!
If leis sound like a good option for your wedding, Fiftyflowers.com will love to be part of it offering you our beautiful selection of Hawaiian leis made out of truly fresh flowers especially for you. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdD45qhLA3caTamqW | Rangers striker Jean-Claude Darcheville says his miss against Lyon in the Champions League clash at Ibrox cost his side a place in the last 16.
"I don't want to make excuses but the ball gave a little bobble. But I should have scored," said the 32-year-old.
The Frenchman, who was later sent off in the 3-0 defeat, said it was the biggest disappointment of his career.
Rangers needed a point against Lyon on Wednesday to progress to the knockout stages of the competition.
But the French champions joined Group E winners Barcelona in the last 16 after winning 3-0 at Ibrox.
Darcheville, who was brought on with 20 minutes remaining, blazed over the crossbar from five yards after a superb pass from Barry Ferguson.
Lyon were leading 1-0 at that stage, and Darcheville said he was disappointed not to score.
"I knew the importance of the game, I'm a very experienced striker and I knew that was an important moment in the game," he said.
"I was sure I was going to score and it would've given us a great chance to qualify."
Rangers team-mate Steven Naismith said the players were not blaming Darcheville for the Ibrox club's exit.
"Darch's miss would have changed everything but that's football," said Naismith.
"Some will say it was a bad miss but we are right behind him. We win as a team and lose as a team. Nobody is pointing fingers at him."
Rangers manager Walter Smith was frustrated to see Rangers slip into the Uefa Cup after losing to Lyon.
"The Uefa Cup isn't a great consolation but maybe in the next few days we'll appreciate it a bit more," he said.
"It was a disappointing result and disappointing performance overall.
"We'll sit down and reflect in the next few days. We've enjoyed some good experiences and some bad ones as well. I'm sure it will help their careers." | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUddU5qoTBB2nxIwL- | Are you thinking of starting a homestead? Does the thought of growing food, tending animals and living independently sound attractive to you? If so, then you are not alone, as each year thousands of Americans discover the joy of the self-sufficient life.
Many people who start a homestead do so because they are sick of being reliant on their local grocery store for food. Food prices are skyrocketing, quality is diminishing, and you never know exactly where your food is coming from. When you start your homestead, you will raise the majority of your own food, ensuring it is healthy and nutritious. Also, once your homestead is up and running, you can build a stockpile of healthy food for times of need.
Living in an urban area can be tough. The hustle and bustle of daily life, the fast food and the reliance on technology all eat away at your mental and physical health. If your desire is for fresh air and a good hard day's work outside, then it may be time to begin your homestead.
People who have left their city ways and embraced all homesteading has to offer report feeling and looking better almost immediately. Their stress level drops, they sleep better, and they even eat better. Furthermore, they have an overall awareness of the world around them that they have never had before. This promotes a great sense of overall well-being.
Modern living has shot a bullet through family life. We are so busy with social distractions, work, sports, school, etc., that we have forgotten what it looks like to be a real family. Few families share a meal together even once a week. The family table has become nothing short of a gathering place for mail and other junk — or a place to do homework. If your desire is to gather your flock together and promote teamwork and unity, nothing will do it faster than starting a homestead. That's because running a homestead efficiently takes teamwork and lots of it. Your children will undoubtedly learn the true value of physical labor. Additionally, you can enjoy shared meals that you have grown yourself. With less access to the hectic life of the past, you will learn again to have fun together as a family.
Homesteading doesn't simply require that you learn new skills. Of course, you need to learn the skills to be independent and keep your homestead thriving. There is no better feeling than to be able to manage your own life and property without needing assistance. Learning new skills improves your confidence and also allows you to be a blessing to others in need.
Whether you move off-grid or even partially off the grid, you will be more self-sufficient than about 90 percent of the population. Think about it: Most people rely daily on everything from the power company to the water company to the grocery store.
Reducing your independence on these services is the first step to becoming self-sufficient. Homesteading offers the chance to live independently, and this provides a strong sense of security.
For many people, the initial cost of starting a homestead and going off grid can be scary. But over time, you will save money. Becoming less dependent on others by raising your own food, learning new skills, utilizing alternative energy sources, etc., will result in substantial cost savings. Take the time to compare your current budget with a proposed budget about one year into your homestead. You will see, pretty quickly, that you can save quite a bit of money.
Of course, homesteading is not for everyone. Always take the time to do your research before purchasing a property and starting a homestead. If you do decide it is for you, then you will need to do even more research to determine things like location and property size. This will help ensure that your journey into homesteading is a rewarding one.

BkiUdes4uBhjD09iHWn- | To avoid the financial hardship caused by the death of a partner/owner of a business buy- sell agreements are used by members of a partnership or stockholders in closely-held corporations to assure that funds are available to allow remaining owners to buy the deceased's portion of the business.
It generally prohibits one partner from selling his/her portion of the company without approval from the other partner or partners and provides the basis for any potential sale or buy out from a partner or partners.
A life insurance, disability insurance and critical illness insurance are some of the smart choices in the market to fund a buy-sell-agreement.
The proceeds are immediately available upon death, disability or if a critical illness strikes.
The proceeds are not subject to corporate creditor claims or the corporate alternative minimum tax.
Can spell out the terms of payment.
Provide a smooth transition of complete control to those who are going to keep the business running.
If you don't have a buy-sell agreement and want to discuss it with an experienced Financial Advisor or Insurance Agent, please fill out the following form. We will contact you within 24 hours. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUbss5qoTDt2Gdhc3f | Hundreds of millions for Germany from Brussels against Brexit consequences
Wednesday January 13th 2021
Germany can get more than 400 million euros from the European Union to mitigate the consequences of Brexit. The EU Commission pointed this out on Twitter on Wednesday. The money comes from a five billion euro fund for EU countries that are particularly affected by the UK's exit from the EU.
Among other things, it should benefit fishermen. For example, short-time work benefits as well as retraining or training can be financed. The funds can also be used to ensure the new border, customs and goods controls.
The five billion euro reserve had already been agreed during the EU budget negotiations last summer. The aid depends on the "degree of economic integration" with the former EU member Great Britain, which had also left the EU internal market and the customs union at the turn of the year. Ireland alone could get around one billion euros, followed by the Netherlands with more than 700 million euros.
In order to get the money, the EU states have to apply for the money and prove a direct connection with Brexit. The EU Commission gives the sums in 2018 prices. Accordingly, the German share is 429.1 million euros. At current prices it is 455.4 million euros. Most of the money is to flow as an advance payment this year. (dpa)

BkiUe6825V5jRAvtXevI | Nucleation event determines the condensation sequence, number density, size, morphology and crystalline structure of cosmic dust particle, called dust, in a gas outflow of dying stars or a gas plume after shock wave heating in the primitive solar nebula. Using nucleation theories, such characters of dust have been expected. However, it has been well known that results obtained by classical nucleation theory and by experiments have a large difference each other. We believe that one of the reasons is the difference of physical parameters of nanometer sized particles from its bulk. Although nucleation is a process progressed in nanometer scale, physical parameters of bulk materials have been used. To determine the physical parameters of nanoparticles, we constructed an in-situ observation system of temperature and concentration during homogeneous nucleation in vapor phase using interferometry in the laboratory.
Nanoparticles are formed as dust analogues from a supersaturated vapor after evaporation of the starting material by electrical heating in a gas atmosphere. Using the specially designed double-wavelength Mach–Zehnder-type laser interferometer, nucleation temperature and partial pressure can be obtained simultaneously. Then, surface free energy and sticking probability can be determined using timescale for cooling based on nucleation theories (Kimura et al. 2012). In case of laboratory experiment, convection of gas atmosphere caused by thermal heating generates heterogeneity of nucleation environment, such as temperature and concentration profiles around evaporation source. In microgravity, evaporated vapor diffuses uniformly and the temperature profile becomes concentric around the evaporation source. As the result, nucleation will occur at the same condition. In addition, microgravity condition allow us to duplicate the ratio of timescale for cooling and collision frequency of vapor around supernovae and asymptotic giant branch stars. Therefore, we performed microgravity experiments using the sounding rocket S-520-30 launched on September 11th, 2015.
Two same experimental systems, which construct with the interferometer, nucleation chamber and camera recording modules were designed to fit the size and weight limitation and installed into the nosecone of the rocket. The evaporation source and gas atmosphere are silica and argon (4 × 104 Pa) for silica dust, and alumina and a gas mixture of oxygen (2 × 103 Pa) and argon (3.8 × 104 Pa) for alumina dust. The experiments were run sequentially and automatically started after launch of the rocket. The evaporation sources of silica and aluminum were electrically heated in the gas atmosphere under microgravity. Evaporated vapor was diffused, cooled and nucleated in the gas atmosphere. The temperature and concentration at the nucleation site can be determined from the movement of the interference fringes. Here, we will show the results of the experiments including supersaturation ratio, and the physical properties of those nanoparticles. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUdb04eIXh70-IxXwY | Leo and Scorpio Compatibility
Leo and Scorpio
The two of you embody the word passion, this kind of passion is very arousing.
Scorpio, What He's Like...
At first, you will love how enigmatic he can be.
This man will give you all the dramatic exhilaration you can handle, but will it more than you bargain for?
Leo and Scorpio , What You are Like Together
You may feel and others may feel that Scorpio is "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma" and what's more he doesn't even have the key.
If you have Scorpio as a Personal Planet sign, you may not be like him, but you will understand where he is coming from. He is a riddle, no a cypher, he says things but it has a meaning that only he knows.
He doesn't speak this way to irritate, he is just complicated - meaning he is particular, unusual and eccentric.
This may be a product of his knowing of how complicated he is, but to him there is nothing easy as far as answers go.
For a time, you will be sure that you are not in love with this man. Then bam! It hits you and you are officially head over fashionable heels. Where did it come from?
If you don't have personal Planets that contain a Water element zodiac sign, your connection will start off passion and intense desire, but will fizzle out like a firecracker does.
He is at his most fun when he lets rip his distinct kind of humour, he has you giggling.
The instances where he is tedious and dull are when he is silent, gazes through you paying no attention and gives curt answers. And so, you have ventured into his dark mood, his mood will change eventually.
Leo and Scorpio - Points of Conflict
Being the lover of a Scorpio isn't an easy thing.
Mostly when a woman is involved with Scorpio, she is only involved with part of him until he is ready to let you in on all of who he is, not many women get to know him fully.
You are a vocal and forthright woman. You are also a giving woman. These traits in no way mean that you aren't private.
When Scorpio tries to tell you of his opinions about your life, you will bristle.
You shouldn't take his prying or conclusions personally. He does this everyone he interacts with, although he is sure to keep all his cards close to the vest and he is offended is anyone has opinions about him.
Scorpio thinks that to be hurt by someone lessens his strength. He is always on the look out for other men who are trying to steal his woman away, thus causing him anguish.
He is a distrustful man naturally, he is possessive so, you can't be the gregarious woman that you naturally are especially with other men. The thing is you like drama and just to get to him you may flirt anyway.
You will get your wish, you will get all the drama you ask for because he will go from a calm demeanor to a hot anger to calm again.
He may give you one chance to do such a thing, (making him jealous on purpose), then he will break it off with you because he won't entrust his love to you.
Either he is very picky or he finds it hard to find a woman that lasts with him, but when a woman tries to be in a relationship with him, she realizes that he is exacting and requires much.
He wants a woman who is faithful to him. He wants a woman who will no let her job come before him.
This man requires a woman's absolute affection and focus. He uses a woman's weaknesses to manipulate her.
He will only express praise and admiration for her at "special times". He will keep her with him because he is so good in bed.
A woman can't play power games with him, he turns the tables and always wins. He is the type that wants dominance no matter what.
You can understand what I mean about his need to be in charge because you are the same, but when it comes to you and Scorpio he will have the upper hand.
You on the other hand need your own life and your freedom. This doesn't sit well with him, he will resent this because it makes him feel vulnerable.
There are times you have probably thought that you wanted a man that is firmer than other men, one who can take control of you in a way, make you feel more delicate and feminine; well, you have found that man in Scorpio.
In the end you may not like it.
If you live together he will complain about how much money you spend when at times, he spends money too; he just doesn't want to hear about his spending.
The two of you will jump to the wrong conclusions often and you will also have many petty fights.
Since he conveys his beliefs and opinions in a tangled way, it's like some weird mental and emotional maze.
It's like a mash up of intuitive feelings with supposing added to notions and guesses added to reasoning, because it's more comfortable than just experiencing a feeling, he gets himself jumbled up about what is real.
If someone were to ask you when you realized you loved him, you wouldn't be able to tell.
You realize you were focusing on how he's always wallowing in his sorrows and how moody he is.
He boggles your mind when it comes to these things, but you also like being his saving grace.
If you really think about it you started to love him from the first night you made love, he's a great lover in your mind; that's how he got you.
Leo and Scorpio Compatibility, Sexual Love
If you are a Leo woman with Venus, Moon or Rising sign in Cancer, Pisces or particularly Scorpio, means you will have much sexual excitement between you.
He may seem cold emotionally, but he is hot sexually.
You are as giving in sex as you are in other circumstances, you'll notice that he isn't as prone to being unselfish as you are in bed, he doesn't find it as easy as you to show his passion.
Even so, he does have a high sex drive and this makes up for things that he lacks.
Other than your different approaches to sex, you make a good match in the bedroom. Love making for the two of you will be sultry, sexy and passionate.
Leo and Scorpio, Romantic Summary
This romance will be rough sailing. Yet, Leo and Scorpio can manage to make it last.
A romance between Leo and Scorpio may not be too bad if:
Scorpio treasures Leo and accepts that she is a giving and affectionate hearted woman.
And, Leo learns to accept and even value Scorpio needs to be her champion and fight for her.
As far as marriage goes it will all depend on Scorpio's chart and its aspects.

BkiUff85qhDCeBHYsdh- | Nar Phu Valley is one of the newly opened trekking region. The trek to the Nar and Phu valley takes you to a remote but alluring region of Nepal. Since this is a restricted area, you will require a special permit and only group, with at least two people, are allowed to trek in this region.
In Nar Phu Valley Trek, you will enjoy the delightful sights of quaint Tibetan villages, astounding rock formations, high altitude grazing settlements, narrow canyons, deep forests and majestic snow clad peaks. The main valley has rugged and barren landscape much like Tibet. The valley is home to Gurung ethnic people who follow Buddhist culture and customs. Buddhist monasteries and chortens make one of the striking features of the landscape.
The trail follows a rugged path as you explore the quaint Tibetan-like villages of Nar and Phu, cross the Kongka La Pass (5171m). The trip will offer you fantastic mountain views of Annapurna, Lamjung, Manaslu, Tilicho etc. During this trek you should be acclimatized very well especially when crossing Kongka La pass. The area has limited accommodation facility so camping will be required at different places.
There are three different alternative trekking routes in Nar Phu Valley trek. One of the common route is Nar Phu Valley Circuit which begins at Bulbule and ends in Bulbule. This is of shorter duration and avoids traversing nearby Annapurna region.
The Nar Phu Valley Trek with Thorong La Pass is another option. This route will start from Bulbule and crosses the Thorong La pass ( 5416m) in the Annapurna Circuit. This traversing of the pass provides you a more challenging and interesting alternative to the regular route.
The third and most adventurous route is Nar Phu Valley with Tilicho Lake Trek which takes you to one of the highest lakes, Tilicho Lake (4949m) in the Himalayan region. We will follow the less traveled route to Tilicho Lake crossing over the Meso Kanta Pass (5089m) which links the Manang and Kali Gandaki valley.
Nar Phu Valley Trek is best during Spring (March, April, May) and Autumn (September, October, November) seasons. This trek can be done over different durations depending on your interests, timeframe and budget.
Day 01: After early-morning breakfast, our guide will pick you up from the hotel and take you to the bus station.
Day 02: Trek from Bhulbhule to Chamje (1410m.) takes about seven hours.
Day 04: Trek from Dharapani to Koto takes about five hours.
Trek from Dharapani to Koto takes about five hours. You trek gradual ascent path and cross a stream to reach Koto. The mountain views you can enjoy are of Annapurna II, Manaslu range and beautiful views of forests on the way add another dimension to your trek. Koto is a small village mainly inhabited by Gurung and others. Their life style is mainly influenced by Buddhist Tibetans. Stay overnight in camp/lodge.
Day 05: Trek from Koto to Dharmasala takes about six hours.
Trek from Koto to Dharmasala takes about six hours. You cross the river leading to the Nar Phu valleys and hike up through beautiful woods above the Phu Khola. The route takes you through some beautiful woods and past several small caves, and a pilgrims' Dharmasala. After you emerge out of a narrow canyon, the trail actually passes under a wide waterfall just before the Dharmasala, from where the woods become thinner and the vistas wider. Stay overnight in camp/lodge.
Day 06: Trek from Dharmasala to Kayang takes about six and half hours.
Trek from Dharmasala to Kayang takes about six and half hours. A steep climb up the valley along a small, scenic river brings you finally to high pastures on a 3,200m plateau. You pass by e scenic kharka of Meta, 3560m, a non permanent winter settlement of Nar, where you are likely to share the trail with a few yaks! This morning is one of the loveliest walks in the Himalayas. Stay overnight in camp/lodge.
Day 07: Trek from Kayang to Phu village.
Trek from Kayang to Phu village. Dropping steeply down to the river, you trek for a while along the river bank and past the "submarine" rock, passing some small possible campsites along the way. You start to see some of the unique, colorful chortens for which Nar and Phu are famous. You have to walk carefully across a small glacial stream before reaching a larger one with a bridge only half covered with large slabs of slate. Another hour and a half of trekking through scenic canyon and gorges, you reach the Phu gate. This ancient gate provides you with you first view of the three villages of Phu, as well as an old "dzong" and the remains of the two forts, all now in ruins, but impressively situated atop the flatlands before Phu. Stay overnight in camp/lodge.
Day 08: Excursion around Phu valley.
Excursion around Phu valley. You can have interaction with locals and explore up the wide valley systems above you. You might walk up the valley to the summer grazing settlement or Kharka at Ngoru, a three hour's walk past the gompa. Phu itself is an incredibly interesting village and you can observe the villagers spinning their yak and sheep wool and chat. Stay overnight in camp/lodge.
Day 09: Trek from Phu valley to Junam.
Trek from Phu valley to Junam. You get back through Phu gate, descend to the river and retrace your step back to Junam Kharka which is a lovely spot for camping. Stay overnight in camp/lodge.
Day 10: Trek from Junam to Nar.
Trek from Junam to Nar. This day you trek down the old bridge spanning a deep, contoured and narrow gorge and all the way back up again. The scenery is stunning. Below you sit Gyalbu Kumbu, built in 1650, and Satte Gompa, both empty. You finally reach the Nar gates at the top of the hill, and pass by yet another line of wonderfully painted, bamboo topped chortens and a large tiered chorten before turning the corner and being rewarded with sublime views of Nar, the undulating patterns of the surrounding barley and mustard fields, four old colorful and traditional Gompas and the snow peaks looming overhead. Stay overnight in camp/lodge.
Explore Nar village. Nar is bit more social and lively than Phu. Stay overnight in camp/lodge.
Day 12: Trek from Nar village to Ngwal after crossing Kang La pass.
Trek from Nar village to Ngwal after crossing Kang La pass. The Kang La is not a diffucult pass, but it could be a long day if there is snow on the pass. The Kang La, at 5240m, is an absolutely spectacular pass looking over Annapurna II, Gangapurna, Tilicho peak, the peaks surrounding Tilicho and the airport at Hongde. The trail down is steep and gradual down towards the end.
Ngawal, on the upper Pisang route of the Annapurna circuit (off the main Annapurna circuit), can be reached in as little as two hours from the pass, but the walk down is so nice that you will take it easy and enjoy the views. Just before Ngawal is an unusual grouping of chortens and prayer flags, and marks a meditation cave far up in the hills. Ngawal is a wonderful, old village of cobbled streets, prayer wheels and beautiful architecture, obviously a hub of religious activity in previous times. Stay overnight in camp/lodge.
Day 13: Trek from Ngwal to Manang takes about three hours.
Trek from Ngwal to Manang takes about three hours. This day you walk through the leveled path along the bank of Marshyangdi river to reach Manang. On the way you pass pine forests, villages such as Braga and farming terraces. You can enjoy the views of Annapurna range, Tilicho Mountain and beautiful landscapes. Manang is a small town. Stay overnight in lodge.
Trek from Manang to Yak Kharka (4350m.) takes about three and half hours. Now the trail ascends gently all the way to Yak Kharka passing through the Gunsang (3960m.) village. En route, you can see panoramic views all the day. Stay overnight at lodge.
Day 15: Trek from Yak Kharka to Thorong Phedi (4420m.) takes about 3 and half hours.
Trek from Yak Kharka to Thorong Phedi (4420m.) takes about 3 and half hours. Leaving Yak Kharka, you climb gradually to a ridge before descending to the headwaters of the Marshyangdi and crossing via a covered wooden bridge. After a short ascent up the mountain path on the right bank, you follow a narrow trail across an unstable spree slope and then descend to Thorung Phedi. Stay overnight at lodge.
Day 16: Trek from Thorong Phedi to Muktinath (3850m.) via Thorong La (5416m.) Pass and it takes about seven hours.
Trek from Thorong Phedi to Muktinath (3850m.) via Thorong La (5416m.) Pass and it takes about seven hours. You start early today for your crossing of Thorung La [5416m]. The trail becomes steep immediately on leaving camp but as this trail has been used by local people for hundreds of years the path is well defined. The gradient then eases and after around 4 hours of steady climbing you reaches the chorten and prayer flags of the pass. The descent to Muktinath is a knee pounding 1600m but it's compensated for with excellent views of Dhaulagiri. Eventually the moraines give way to grassy slopes before a pleasant walk along the Jhong Khola Valley to Muktinath and its shrines and temple. Stay overnight at lodge.

Nicole Bordges
Jonathan William Scott Hofstedt (born October 23, 1969) is an American actor. Known professionally as Jon Huertas, he is best known for his role as witch hunter Brad Alcerro in Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Sergeant Antonio 'Poke' Espera in HBO's Generation Kill, Joe Negroni in the film Why Do Fools Fall in Love, homicide detective Javier Esposito in Castle and Miguel Rivas in This Is Us.
Early life[edit]
Huertas was born in New York City, New York, to a Puerto Rican father and a Caucasian mother.[1] He was raised by his grandparents. By 10 years of age, he began taking part in school plays, which was his first inspiration to pursue acting. Huertas graduated John Handley High School in Winchester, VA, in 1987 at the age of 17. After spending a year attending college, he enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1987 and served for 8 years as an aircraft nuclear/conventional weapons specialist.[2][3] He participated in Operation Just Cause and Operation Desert Storm.[4]
Huertas's acting career started in 1993 when he played an uncredited part in The Webbers.
In 1998, Huertas portrayed Joe Negroni in the romantic drama Why Do Fools Fall in Love alongside such stars as Halle Berry, Paul Mazursky, and Ben Vereen. In 1999, he appeared in two films: the horror movie Cold Hearts and the action movie Stealth Fighter. In the 2000s, he appeared in many films, but his biggest role was in television in 2008 as Sergeant Espera in HBO's miniseries Generation Kill about the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
From 1998 to 1999, Huertas played the role of Antonio in the television series Moesha. From 1999 to 2000, he played Brad, a witch hunter, in Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. From 2009 to 2016, Huertas starred in the role of Detective Esposito in ABC's police procedural Castle. In 2012, Huertas and his Castle co-star Stana Katic received the award for Performance in a Drama Episode at the 16th Annual PRISM Awards.[5]
Huertas was elected to serve a one-year term, beginning September 25, 2010, as an alternate member of the National Board of Directors and as a member of the Hollywood Division Board of Directors of the Screen Actors Guild.[6]
In June 2011, Huertas made his debut music video single called "Sex Is the Word".[7]
Huertas joined the cast of This Is Us in 2016 and has been a part of the series since its first season. In an interview with Tell-Tale TV, Huertas said he didn't know at first that his character Miguel on This Is Us would be aged, or that he'd wind up married to Mandy Moore's character, Rebecca.[8]
In October 2019, Huertas appeared on The Rookie. He played as Alejandro Mejia/Cesar Ojeda in the episode "The Bet" and he reunites with former co-stars from Castle are Nathan Fillion and Seamus Dever as part of ABC's Cast from the Past Week.
Huertas married his long-term girlfriend, Nicole Bordges, in Tulum, Mexico, on May 4, 2014.[9]

BkiUdLs5qYVBRaD6OdxO | Canadian long-snapper L.P. Ladouceur set to play in record 251st career NFL contest
L.P. Ladouceur is hardly a household name despite having been a fixture with the Dallas Cowboys since 2005, and he's good with that.
But the veteran long-snapper will be in the spotlight Sunday when Dallas hosts the San Francisco 49ers. That will be Ladouceur's 251st career NFL game, moving him past veteran kicker Eddie Murray for the most ever by a Canadian.
"I'm totally fine (playing in anonymity), that's the job and I understand the job," Ladouceur said during a telephone interview. "It's definitely an accomplishment but deep down there's bigger-picture stuff (like) winning a game, getting to the playoffs and a Super Bowl.
"There's so many things that, to me, are more important. Obviously it's a personal accomplishment that shows Canadians can do just as well in the NFL as anybody else."
Ladouceur's accomplishment also caught the eye of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who sent the veteran player a congratulatory letter.
"Mr. Ladouceur's NFL career is both inspiring and remarkable, and it is built on perseverance and determination on and off the field," Trudeau wrote. "His unwavering commitment to working with charity organizations such as the Parker County Center of Hope to empower the lives of many individuals is part of his enduring legacy.
"On behalf of Canadians and fans around the world, I am pleased to congratulate Mr. Ladouceur on this well-deserved recognition."
Ladouceur, 39, of Montreal, has been a model of consistency since joining the Cowboys as a free agent during the '05 season. He hasn't missed a game or botched a snap (punts, converts and field goals) over his career.
"I've had really great holders and punters, don't get me wrong," Ladouceur said modestly. "I've had some errant snaps, they just did a great job of catching them and making me look good.
"Like everything in life, it's a lot of practice, dedication and work ethic, pretty much everything you teach kids when they're little. That's how I've gone about my business, taking advantage of those opportunities and making the best of them, being the best I can be and hopefully help the team to win because of it."
The Cowboys (4-9) will register just their third losing season during Ladouceur's tenure. The six-foot-five, 256-pound Canadian has a simple explanation for his NFL longevity.
"The key is not getting hurt," he said. "Availability is the biggest term you'll ever hear in any pro sport. Are you available every day, every practice, every game?
"Once you become unavailable, that's when careers end because teams have to move on if they're only going to get 10 games out of you every year instead of 16. I think availability is the key to success in the NFL."
Dallas stands last in the NFC East, two games behind first-place Washington (6-7) with three to play. But given NFL teams are playing during the COVID-19 pandemic, Ladouceur said 2020 has been about much more than just wins and losses.
"If you look at the big picture, we got to play football," Ladouceur said. "I got to meet some guys who came in that I didn't know and build a rapport and create some type of camaraderie with and try to win games.
"That's probably what I'll get the most out of 2020 … more what we've gone through and the hardships and how we've moved on and succeeded through all this chaos."
Murray, a Halifax native, played for seven different teams — including twice with Dallas, where he won a Super Bowl title in 1993. Over 19 NFL seasons. Murray made 352-of-466 field goals (75.5 per cent) and scored 1,594 points.
"Congratulations on breaking a record I didn't know I had," Murray quipped. "It's good to be associated with this record and I wish you all the best."
Kickers Shaun Suisham, of Wallaceburg, Ont., and Mike Vanderjagt, of Oakville, Ont., were both on the receiving end of Ladouceur snaps in Dallas. In fact, Suisham has taken some credit for Ladouceur being a Cowboy.
Suisham was with the club in 2005 when it needed a long-snapper and relayed that information to agent Gil Scott, who also represents Ladouceur.
"The life of an NFL specialist can be fragile," Suisham said. "Kickers, punters, and long-snappers are often easily replaced due to a bad kick or snap.
"It's an unbelievable accomplishment and a true testament to his consistency as a player to play 251 games and 16 seasons all with the Dallas Cowboys. We started together as teammates in 2005 and I continue to cheer him on."
Suisham played in 128 career NFL games — ninth-most among Canadians — with three teams, including Dallas twice. Veteran punter Jon Ryan of Regina spent the '19 season with the CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders after playing in 191 career NFL contests (No. 4 among Canadians) with Green Bay and Seattle.
"L.P. will go down in NFL history as one of the best long-snappers to ever do it," Suisham said. "He's as close to automatic as they come."
Considering all the moving parts involved in the successful execution of a field goal, Ladouceur said it's important he, the holder and kicker all be in sync.
"There aren't many events in sports where you need three guys to be completely on the same page to get the job done within 1.3 seconds," he said. "And the outcome of that kick can have a huge impact on the outcome of each game so the cohesiveness of the group is very important.
"So I've always made sure we'd go to dinner or for a beer together or tried to hang out after meetings, whatever it is just try to build a bit of a relationship. The foundation of the trio is important for the success of the team."
So it's not surprising Ladouceur lists punter Chris Jones, in his 10th season with Dallas, as his favourite teammate.
"Chris can tackle, kick and punt and throw the ball about as good as any quarterback," Ladouceur said. "He's a full-on athlete who happens to be a punter and he's pretty damn good.
"He's very down to earth and I'm fortunate to have him as a teammate and friend."
Ladouceur and his family call Aledo, Texas home. For the past three years, Ladouceur has taken his NFL career season by season, something he'll do again with his wife, Brooke, after the '20 campaign.
If he returned next year, Ladouceur would break former tight end Jason Witten's club record for most games played (255).
"This might be it, I might have another one, I might have two, I don't know," Ladouceur said. "I don't want to go in there and feel like I'm lagging, I want to still be on top of what I do and I feel I'm still able to do that."

BkiUd4w5qoTBFq8c9ULa | Is Singapore on the way to embracing cryptocurrency as part of the financial system?

While cryptocurrencies are yet to be exchange-registered, they are already a part of the payment landscape. But will Singapore fully implement digital currencies as a payment option?
By Sangeeta Deogawanka
The digital currency that has swept across the globe in the last few years cannot be ignored any longer. The recent success of Singapore's "Token Day" to mark the 10-year anniversary of cryptocurrency, showed the potential for crypto adoption across the island-nation. Thirty retailers around Singapore's Chinatown accepted cryptocurrency as payment for a 19-day period, leading to increased discussion over the emergence of cryptocurrencies as an alternative currency in the payments space.
Singapore was an early arrival to cryptocurrency regulation
Singapore was one of the first countries to start regulating the usage of digital currencies in 2014 by imposing taxation on earnings. But prior to November 2018, the focus was on crypto earnings rather than the underlying technology.
In late November. Singapore's central bank finalised its regulatory framework to safeguard cryptocurrencies against counter-terrorism financing, and bolster cybersecurity. Under the new payment services bill (PSB) the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will require crypto payment service providers to be licensed, but prior to this landmark legislation, crypto exchanges were an unregulated industry.
Singapore is nurturing an ecosystem friendly to cryptocurrencies
Singapore is known for its large-scale support of crypto-related technologies and fintech innovation. The PSB has laid the foundations for incorporating blockchain into the securities framework and payment systems. This has further fast-tracked blockchain based partnerships and investments that ultimately further the cause of the cryptocurrency asset class.
Interestingly, unlike other countries where blockchain adoption came after cryptocurrency; in Singapore, initial coin offerings (ICOs) set the trend, followed by blockchain.
Singapore witnessed a swell in ICOs offering digital coins instead of shares.
Can crypto become legal tender in Singapore?
Cryptocurrency cannot exist without the underpinning blockchain technology. With massive investments pouring into blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies are here to stay.
The MAS released a retail investor's guide to digital assets in May. Previously, few governments have been willing to encourage retail investments into cryptocurrency, including the Singaporean government, due to their volatility and lack of regulation. This is one sign that the government in Singapore is preparing for cryptocurrency's entry into mainstream payment solutions.
The foundations have already been laid, with taxation guidelines for crypto earnings, and the provision for crypto to be treated as digital assets in the new PSB.
Singapore's central bank has also announced it is broadening its regulatory regime for payment providers to bring certain cryptocurrencies under its jurisdiction, with the new legislation due to come into force by the end of 2019. Cryptocurrency service providers are expected to be licensed under the new regulatory framework.
As a series of high-profile partnerships fuel blockchain innovation, the implementation of crypto as a payment option is no longer a matter of "if" but "when".
The adoption of cryptocurrencies as tender would bring global crypto exchanges to Singapore's shores
Already, the surge of newly-minted crypto millionaires in the financial capital of ASEAN has attracted global crypto exchanges to set shop in Singapore and the expansion of innovative crypto-based ventures.
Wider adoption of cryptocurrencies would also boost employment in Singapore. According to the recruitment firm, Robert Walters, there has been a 50% increase in job roles related to blockchain or cryptocurrencies in Asia since 2017, with Singapore being one of the main labour markets. These job opportunities would surge in a society where crypto payments were widely accepted payment solutions.
With Singapore's establishment as the fintech capital of Asia, and the landscape becoming increasingly favourable for cryptocurrencies, Singapore can expect to see a huge inflow of funds into crypto and blockchain technologies.
With most countries across the world yet to take a stand on the legal aspect of crypto, Singapore's fast-tracking of cryptocurrency regulation will result in tangible economic benefits across the island nation. An influx of cryptocurrency exchanges rushing to register in Singapore is likely to make it the crypto capital and blockchain

A: A solution manly used in video games is to multiply every movment factor by the time between the last frame (aka delta time) you should try to go look about this
A: As a rule of thumb, you should absolutely avoid allocating / deallocating memory in your onDraw().
You are using it to create a Paint object. Since onDraw() is called up to 60 times per second, the performance hit of method creation there is huge. Just move your Paint object to a field of the class and initialise it once. This will give you a nice save for starters.
Yan is absolutely spot on regarding the updates. Using some kind of interpolation will give you a smoother animation. There is a great article you can take a look at to optimise your game thread.

The most authentic spiritual practitioners don't make money off spirituality, but these are extremely rare. Many of them are unknown, and they don't seek money.
Next is the "spiritual advisors," who are spiritual as far as it's beneficial to self Interest. Many will become very wealthy, giving watered down spirituality, which is nothing but commercializing, and selectively choosing whatever to sell your business.
Tarot By Empress on March 24, 2022 at 5:26 pm
For those who keep saying "authentic spiritualist" don't get paid for their gifts…this is a false narrative. You can't help anyone if you can't help your self. In our society, money is a resource just like food, clothes, and water. It's a medium of exchange. Nobody should be used for free. Not only does it go against the Universal Laws but it sends a message to spiritual healers that they aren't worthy of receiving. We are not slaves. Everyone deserves to be paid for their time, energy, and resources. Anyone who says otherwise is simply projecting their own negative subconscious beliefs about money and is probably financially unstable. You can't fill up others from an empty cup. The fact that I do charge for my services allows me to donate to others who need help. If I worked for free, I'd have nothing to share.

Spiritual practitioners should never charge for any spiritual services, if they wish to be authentic. This includes everything, rather advice or metaphysical services, such as healing, readings, etc.
You should obtain financial freedom, so you don't need money to maintain.

BkiUbN84uzqh_LjbqE1t | Chelsea's skipper denied the charge but the commission ruled that he was guilty of misconduct during the Blues' Barclays Premier League defeat at QPR on October 23 last year.
The 31-year-old, who on Sunday announced his retirement from international football, can lodge an appeal against the panel's decision.
Terry's representatives, Elite Management, said in a statement released on his behalf: 'Mr Terry is disappointed that the FA Regulatory Commission has reached a different conclusion to the clear not guilty verdict of a court of law.
An FA statement said: 'An independent regulatory commission has today found a charge of misconduct against John Terry proven and has issued a suspension for a period of four matches and a fine of £220,000, pending appeal.
'The Football Association charged Mr Terry on Friday 27 July 2012 with using abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards Queens Park Rangers' Anton Ferdinand and which included a reference to colour and/or race contrary to FA Rule E3 in relation to the Queens Park Rangers FC versus Chelsea FC fixture at Loftus Road on 23 October 2011.
'The charge was the result of The FA's long-standing investigation into this matter, which was placed on hold at the request of the Crown Prosecution Service and Mr Terry's representatives pending the outcome of the criminal trial.
Mr Terry be suspended from all domestic club football until such time as Chelsea's First Team have completed four competitive matches.
Fined the sum of £220,000.
'The independent regulatory commission will provide written reasons for its decision in due course. Mr Terry has the right to appeal the decision of the independent regulatory commission to an Appeal Board. An appeal must be lodged within 14 days from receipt of the written reasons for the decision.
Chelsea released their own statement which read: 'Chelsea Football Club notes and respects today's decision by the Football Association regarding John Terry.
The case centred around an incident during Chelsea's Barclays Premier League defeat at QPR on October 23 last year when the pair clashed verbally on a number of occasions.
Terry was found not guilty in Westminster Magistrates Court in July of a racially-aggravated public order offence with the prosecution unable to prove he had called Ferdinand a "f****** black c***" as an insult.
Chelsea and England team-mate Ashley Cole gave evidence that helped exonerate Terry, telling the court: 'We shouldn't be sitting here'.
The FA's decision to press ahead with their own charges infuriated Terry to the extent that on the eve of the disciplinary hearing he announced he was quitting international football with immediate effect, saying his position was 'untenable'.
Terry's legal team had argued the governing body's own rules dictated that his acquittal in court meant the case could not proceed but the FA believed their charge was distinct from the court charge.
The panel who handed Liverpool striker Luis Suarez an eight-match ban when they found him guilty of racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra last season declared at that time that simply using racist language was enough to constitute a breach of FA rules.
Meanwhile Joey Barton has criticised the FA after Terry was banned for four games - eight fewer than the former QPR midfielder received for violent conduct.
Barton, on loan at Marseille, said on Twitter: 'Well I think that proves a lot. What an absolute farce. Twelve games for violent conduct and only four for that. FA should be embarrassed. £shambles.
'I was expecting at least a public execution after a year.
'Twelve games!!! By the FA's perverse reckoning, I'd of got less of a ban for racially abusing the Man City players than tickling them as I did.
MP Damian Collins, a member of the culture, media and sport committee that produced a report on racism in football earlier this month, said Terry should now admit what he did was wrong.
Suarez was given an eight-match suspension and Collins said the FA should lay down what sanctions should be expected.
He added: 'The FA have to establish some sort of consistency. If the longer ban is due to more incidents within the match then that's their right. I certainly think what John Terry got was the minimum.
Former England manager Graham Taylor said he hoped a line could now be drawn underneath the case.
He told Sky Sports News: 'Having sat on these panels and made judgements myself I know those people will have come to their conclusion in an honest and proper manner - they will have had legal advice.
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho defended his former captain, insisting he was not a racist.
The 49-year-old Portuguese, who was Stamford Bridge manager between 2004 and 2007, told CNN: 'He's not a racist - that's 100 per cent.
'We had a squad where we had 12 African players in the squad. It was a fantastic squad and he always had a great relationship with every one of them.
'But in football it can happen during a match, because football sometimes is more than a game and sometimes you have reactions that don't represent what you are really.
'Probably he had a racist comment or attitude against an opponent. Sometimes in football we do things the wrong way. If he had that reaction he should pay - but please don't say he's a racist. (Didier) Drogba, (Claude) Makelele...all of them will say he's not a racist.

BkiUdM45qg5A51O-Ljzk | But hope remains. As shelter-in-place restrictions keep most nonessential workers home, opportunities for remote work have been growing. Brie Reynolds, career development manager for FlexJobs — an online job market specializing in flexible and remote work — says the site saw a 4 percent increase in remote job listings in March, compared with February. Plus, with so many jobs shifting home, any stigma against employing remote workers is easing. "Overall, companies seem to be pleasantly surprised at how well remote work is working for them," Reynolds says. "So that's great. It is providing good solutions right now." Work At Home
#2-Freelance Writing – Freelance writers get hired to provide content for clients. Find a niche your comfortable with and write whatever topics your client needs. There's a lot of work out there for freelance writers. Writing is something that will always be in demand. Clients need content for their blogs and that's what writers bring. Some freelancers earn 6-figures per year and you can too. Work From Home
Help raise money for the causes you believe in. You can take on a full-time entry-level job that requires you to communicate directly with potential or existing donors. Or if you have the experience, you can snag a more senior-level position, such as the grants and development manager job at MedGlobal, which requires proven grant writing and fundraising strategy development abilities.
How to Get It: Check out K12 (K12.com) and Connections Academy (ConnectionsAcademy.com). Both organizations offer various benefits — including health insurance, retirement savings accounts and paid time off — depending on where you live. As in any job where you work with kids, there will be a background and reference check as well as interviews. You may also need to be licensed to teach in the state where the students reside.

"The biggest holdback against remote work for the past 20 years has been middle managers who didn't trust their employees to do it," Lister says.

Schools aren't just for book learning; they also provide a safe haven for students where professionals can help assess and promote their well-being. School psychologists work with K-12 students to identify and address any academic struggles, learning disabilities, and behavioral and emotional issues.

Use social media. While initially purely social and not work related, social media has now become an essential tool for job searches. Businesses that have many remote programs rely on social media to look for employees. Familiar social media sites once used only to connect to friends and family have incorporated groups and pages related to specific jobs. Be sure you keep your CV or resume up-to-date and professional, don't rely on just a single source, be active on several platforms and don't forget to follow the companies you're most interested in.

What It Is: Many companies pay online testers to make sure websites are intuitive and easy to navigate. "You basically follow the instructions you're given to check out the website," says Anna Thurman, founder of RealWaysToEarnMoneyOnline.com, a site that has reviewed more than 500 online work opportunities. "It usually only takes about 15 minutes per test." Thurman recommends registering with 10 to 12 different companies since the opportunities to test these sites are doled out first come, first served. "There are people who make $100 to $200 a month by staying on top of those tests," Thurman says. Work From Home
It's pretty simple. When you're just starting out and not getting as much traffic, you naturally need to charge a higher price and do more hands-on consulting work to make the same amount of money from lower traffic. For example, if when you start your blog and are getting 10x less traffic than in the future, you need to charge 10x more to make the same amount of money from your passive income streams.

BkiUd4I4eIXh4Izb6DiL | Finding the right type of engagement measurement for your brand's Facebook® Page depends on a few factors: your industry, business goals, revenue model, and the makeup of your Facebook Page Posts. We've analyzed tens of thousands of brands of various sizes and from several industries to give you the big picture.
In 2014, we explained how finding the right engagement rate for your Page was determined by its size and how often you posted. Since then, Engagement Rates have failed to account for many of the changes on social. We later showed why absolute engagement (total interactions) were becoming more important, as relative engagement was being influenced by the increasing use of native ads on Facebook.
For example, overall Engagement Rates do not account for post boosting which has become critical for social marketers. Bear in mind that the vast majority of Facebook posts are still organic; so Page size to some extent still matters (larger Pages still garner much higher absolute interactions).
Join us at Engage Prague 2015 to hear from brands like KLM, LEGO, and Disney, and participate in two days of hands-on workshops with Nestle, Desigual, L'Oreal, YouTube, and many more. We will show you what to measure, and how to measure it, so that you can make your social marketing smarter and more effective than ever.
Larger Pages see more absolute interactions and can't always expect to have the same relative engagement as smaller Pages. This is why we recommend looking at Interactions per 1,000 fans, which can be used for comparing Pages of different sizes.
Socialbakers Analytics also includes the Interactions/1,000 Fans metric. While this metric still is by no means perfect – and certainly not the only thing you should be measuring – it can help Pages compare their posts against one another, and broadly paint a picture of performance across fan bases. Success cannot be measured in isolation. Competitive intelligence and benchmarking are both crucial for building the most effective social marketing strategy.
In addition, we've developed Promoted Post Detection (PPD) to help brands identify their competitor's Paid and Organic content. PPD data combined with the Interactions/1,000 Fans metric can give an accurate depiction of how your content performance changed as your Page grew over time. It's still worth it for all brands, regardless of industry or Page size, to measure absolute Interactions, since those include non-Fans (which essentially translates to an expanding market).
Interactions (Comments, Likes, Shares) vary by industry; this is because it comes down to what type of content people like to talk about. Here we can see that FMCG Food, Auto, and Airlines came out on top in terms of average interactions per post, with industries like e-commerce, retail, and accommodation coming out at the bottom.
For brands looking to expand awareness – generally smaller main Pages or Pages expanding an established brand into new markets – Reach Engagement Rate can be useful. This metric (Number of Interactions/Number of People Reached) measures the interactions of those who saw your post – it can be fans and non-fans.
This is where Engagement Rate falls short because it assumes that all fans can see your posts (which is far from reality). That's why it's always better to use Reach Engagement Rate. Unfortunately, Reach ER can't be used for competitive benchmarking, since Reach is not a publicly available metric. Though, it's still great to measure your performance by comparing Reach ER against post to post.
There are innumerable ways to measure social media performance. However, success is relative – it depends on how you define and seek to measure it. Ultimately, the goal should be to increase Social ROI. This begins with creating engaging content – more social engagement means more opportunities for website conversions – the more engaging a piece of content is, the more impressions it will gain. As reach increases, the potential for interactions increases, and new opportunities emerge. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUbB04c3aisE1SPL6f | The U.S. solar industry has come a long way in a very short timeframe. After decades of slow but steady growth, the last 2.5 years have brought an explosion of new installations in America -- with two-thirds of all total distributed solar installed since just 2011. By 2015, installations will likely double.
At only half of a percent of U.S. electricity capacity, it would be hard for anyone to call solar a "mainstream" contributor to the broader energy mix. However, there are a number of other factors to consider when looking at the impact of the technology.
Shayle Kann, GTM's vice president of research, outlined four of those indicators at this morning's Solar Market Insight conference. (The data can also be found in GTM Research's newest report on the U.S. market, released today.) When considering this broader range of factors, Kann concluded that the industry is "pretty close" to becoming a mainstream energy source.
Here's Kann's mainstream solar checklist.
In 2012, solar was the fourth-largest source of new capacity in the U.S. This year, it is the second largest, according to the Federal Energy Regulatory Agency.
"This year will be the first year that there will probably be more solar in the U.S. than in Germany," said Kann. "The U.S. market was slower [than Germany] and still has a long way to go, but is strong and consistently growing overall."
According to GTM Research, there was 23 times more utility-scale solar installed in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012. And although the residential solar market started from a very small base, it has grown 230 percent over the last 15 quarters.
"That's remarkably consistent growth," said Kann. "That's the beginning of the hockey stick -- we're very bullish on residential solar."
There's no doubt that the solar industry is still dependent on state-level incentive programs, many of which foster boom-bust cycles. More than 80 percent of solar installations are concentrated in five states, not because the fundamentals there are necessarily the best, but because "those are the states that have the right incentives in place," said Kann.
"As long as that's the case, it's going to be hard to check that off the list," he said.
However, there are signs that the market is shifting. In the third quarter of 2013, more than half of all residential solar installations in California were deployed without any assistance from the state's solar initiative. That number has continually grown every quarter.
"California is a great example of watching this happen. I do think it's the beginning of a monumental shift in solar in the U.S.," said Kann.
This year marked a noticeable change in the way utilities, regulators and analysts are talking about the impact of distributed generation on the grid. This spring, the Edison Electric Institute issued a report warning that utilities could face serious financial losses as more customers invest in solar and efficiency. The report sparked a more serious look at the "utility death spiral" that is already underway in Germany.
"If you look at the conversations that have taken place, I think it's clear that something fundamental has changed in the collective mindset of U.S. utilities. They are taking solar seriously, and that's both a good and bad thing for the industry," said Kann.
The "bad" could come as more utilities worried about shifting T&D costs look to end or weaken net metering laws. That is already a contentious issue in a handful of states, and the net metering battleground is expanding.
However, the "good" impact may come as utilities start buying solar companies, make venture investments in developers and directly invest in projects. That trend is also growing.
"It seems clear to me that the utility industry is taking solar seriously in the U.S. in a way that absolutely was not true two years ago," said Kann.
In order for solar to be mainstream, it must be treated as such by investors. The increased interest in solar on Wall Street is another positive sign.
According to GTM Research, residential solar finance grew from $1.2 billion in 2012 to $2.3 billion this year. And as new forms of securitization and yield co models pop up to help leverage retail investment in projects, new sources of capital continue to flow into the industry.
"Solar projects have to be a mainstream source of investment, and 2013 has been big year in this progression," said Kann. "We've seen some big precedent-setting events."
GTM Research projects that solar will make up about 10 percent of U.S. electricity generation by 2027 based on current growth rates. When compared to traditional forms of fossil generation, some may still not think that makes the technology "mainstream."
But when looking at the whole ecosystem of investment -- the participation of Wall Street, the attention paid by utilities and steadily improving project economics -- solar may become more influential than previously thought.
"I didn't think solar was all that close to being there. But when I consider this checklist, we're pretty close," concluded Kann.

BkiUd6M5qsJBjms2ZHfO | It's not often you find yourself rooting for the weaselly masked character picking dog meat out of its teeth. But in the case of the endangered black-footed ferret, conservation scientists have rallied behind the tiny predator—thought to be extinct twice over the past century—by attempting to unleash a fleet of M&M-shooting drones over 1,200 acres of its grassland habitat in Montana.
Yes, you read that right. That magnificent, nightmarish plan is actually the best shot the 300 remainingwild ferrets have at surviving. The flea-borne sylvatic plague has wiped out most of the ferret's favorite snack—prairie dogs—and when the dogs die, so do the ferrets. So the US Fish and Wildlife Service wants to use drones to sprinkle peanut butter-flavored plague vaccines over the prairie dog's habitat.
The plan has to get through a public comment period and a few other assessments before it's a reality. If it gets approved, the agency wants to start testing the method in UL Bend National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Montana, where they've been trying to reestablish a ferret population for more than two decades.
"It's a good year if it takes more than two hands to count them all," says USFW biologist Randy Matchett. "As of a month ago, there were seven ferrets on the site and many, many thousands of prairie dogs." It takes 100 acres of prairie dogs to support a female ferret and her litter for a year. On a 1,200-acre lot like UL Bend, 12 ferret families could flourish—once the USFW gets rid of the darn plague, that is.
It hasn't been for lack of trying. For over a decade, wildlife managers have blasted prairie dog burrows with pesticides to kill infected fleas. But fleas develop resistance to the spray after a couple of years. And spraying pesticides is labor-intensive and time-consuming, not to mention sketchy for the other insects and animals exposed to it.
That's why US Geological Survey epizootiologist Tonie Rocke and a team of scientists at the University of Wisconsin concocted the world's first prairie dog vaccine back in the early 2000s. You wish you got these vaccines as a kid: They're delivered orally, via delicious, peanut butter-smothered bait. ("It's organic," adds Rocke.) And while they don't have the hard coating of an M&M, they're roughly the same size and shape, with the texture of a chewy energy bar. Prairie dogs are big fans, eating up to 90 percent of the goodies in field tests.
But test sites are small, and if wildlife managers want to make a real dent in the plague, they'll have to make thousands of baits for hundreds of acres. That's tough when you're rolling them by hand onto cookie sheets, like Rocke and her team were doing. So a couple months ago, Matchett found a guy in Lithuania selling carp bait-making machines for about $2,000. "My wife calls it 'that damn gum-ball machine,'" he says.
Mass-producing an effective vaccine is just one part of the challenge; distribution is a whole other animal. "We have to drop one bait every 30 feet," says Matchett. "If we don't spread them out uniformly, one big, fat prairie dog could eat them all." So far, ecologists have placed baits by hand—but Matchett's team has to dole out 350,000 doses between now and August.
Enter the drone. With his (yet-to-be-built) design, Matchett says a single drone could dispense three baits at a time. A GPS-controlled trigger would launch a mini catapult every 30 feet. With an automatic reloader and a payload of 5,000 doses, a drone might be able to treat 400 acres in an hour—about 50 times faster than a human can dole out baits.
The major challenge for Matchett and his team will be developing the bait-shooting technology. And while it's still in the noodling phase, Matchett "fully intends" to have a proof of concept ready for August, regardless of which way the decision sways. "I've been at this 20 years," he says. "I'm used to banging my head against a wall." Until then, drones raining delicious peanut butter treats will have to live in your dreams. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUfpfxK6-gDw5AxoIc | Home/Entertainment/Sony Pictures quarterly profit rises to $84 million – The Hollywood Reporter
Sony Pictures quarterly profit rises to $84 million – The Hollywood Reporter
Sony Pictures saw its fiscal fourth-quarter profit hit a profit of $84 million (11 billion yen), up sharply from the $2.7 million (300 million yen) loss it reported. in the same period in 2021.
Meanwhile, revenue from the Japanese group's picture segment increased 27.5% to $3.4 billion.
Sony Corp. reported its latest financial results on Wednesday from its headquarters in central Tokyo. The report includes results for January-April as well as full-year earnings for 2021. Full-year profit rose 172 percent to $1.67 billion ( yên217.4 billion), driven by sales theaters and licensing titles to streaming services both saw strong profits. Sony Pictures' media networks division also saw an increase in revenue as Sony completed its $1.18 billion acquisition of professional cartoon streaming company Crunchyroll.
The international success of Marvel tents Venom: Let There Be Carnage ($506 million) and Spider-Man: There's no way home ($1.9 billion) delivered a big boost to year-to-date profits pictured, while the $500 million blockbuster licensed the Seinfeld to Netflix also boosted revenue at Sony Pictures Television.
Sony Pictures is now forecasting a $900 million drop in profit ( yên117.4 billion) in fiscal 2022, due to an expected drop in motion-film sales – not likely to have an impact Spidermanscale on the horizon.
At the group level, Sony Corp's operating profit fell short of analyst estimates, reaching 138.6 billion yen in the fourth fiscal quarter, compared with the consensus estimate of 148.5 billion yen. . The group also forecast operating income of 1.16 trillion yen for the current financial year, below Wall Street expectations of 1.2 trillion yen.
Sony's PlayStation 5 console saw sales decline in the quarter due to supply chain constraints. But Sony says pent-up demand for the device should help get sales back on track to make the PS5 its best-selling console to date.
The company added on Tuesday that it would buy back 200 billion yen ($1.5 billion) of its own shares.
