Q: Receiving HTML request from Bootstrap <form method="post" class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<div class="btn-group col-sm-3">
<button id="typeSelect" type="button" name="reportType" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">

<div class="col-sm-3">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputName" placeholder="Name" name="name" value="{{name}}" onblur="isEmpty(this)">
</div>
</div>
</form>
I have two inputs in my form and I am trying to get the input in my Python code.
report_type = self.request.get('reportType')
name = self.request.get('name')
name is working correctly, but report_type will always be None.
What is the correct way to retrieve the selection in a button (Bootstrap)?
A: According to the button element specifications:
A button (and its value) is only included in the form submission if the button itself was used to initiate the form submission.
You will have to find another way to pass the value of the button. You could, for example, store the value in a hidden field.

Full Sail Brewing Company is a craft brewery in Hood River, Oregon, United States. Founded in 1987, Full Sail was the first commercially successful craft brewery to bottle beer in the Pacific Northwest for retail sale, and one of Oregon's early microbreweries. The first beer packaged was Full Sail Golden Ale, followed in 1988 by Full Sail Imperial Porter, Full Sail Amber Ale, and Wassail Winter Ale.
History
The first year's total production of 287 barrels was brewed by four employees, followed by 2,200 barrels the next year. In 2007, Full Sail brewed more than 120,000 barrels.
Based upon beer sales volume, Full Sail is the ninth largest craft brewery in the United States, the second largest craft brewer in Oregon, and the seventeenth largest brewery in the United States.
Full Sail became employee-owned in July 1999 through an employee stock ownership plan with the 47 employees. In March 2015, the employees voted to sell to Oregon Craft Brewers Co., an investment group formed by San Francisco-based private equity firm Encore Consumer Capital. Their rebranding was led by a Portland-based design and strategy firm called Sandstrom.
In 2022, Full Sail brought on head brewmaster, formally the brewmaster at Old Town Brewing in Portland, Andrew Lamont.
Products and locations
In May 2005, Full Sail introduced Session Premium Lager, a tribute to pre-Prohibition beers and bottled in a stubby bottle. In 2007, Full Sail introduced a line of limited edition lager beers, called LTD#1 and LTD#2. LTD#3, a pilsner, debuted in May 2009. In July 2009 Full Sail added a new beer to their session line releasing Session Black Lager, also in the stubby 11 oz bottle.
The brewery is known for its quality microbrewed beers, most notably its trademark Amber Ale. Full Sail is located in the Columbia River Gorge in the city of Hood River, Oregon. The Full Sail brewery, pub, and tasting room are all located at the same site in downtown Hood River. Brewery tours are available daily, free of charge.
In July 2003, Full Sail began contract brewing three beers for SABMiller under the almost 150-year-old Henry Weinhard's brand: Henry Weinhard's Hefeweizen, Northwest Trail Blonde Lager, and Amber Light. SABMiller had purchased the brands from Stroh's in 1999, and for a few years had moved their production to its Tumwater, Washington brewery until it closed in 2003.
There is also a smaller Full Sail brewhouse in Portland, Oregon which serves as their research and development center and is where the small batch Brewmaster Reserve and Brewer's Share beers are concocted.
An arrival route into Portland International Airport, the TMBRS (Timbers) has successive waypoints named FFULL, SSAIL, MYCRO, BBREW, and PUBBB (Full Sail microbrew pub).
Awards
The Full Sail brewery has earned many honors for its beers, some of which include:
Twelve gold medals for Amber Ale at the World Beer Championships
Four gold medals and six silver medals for Pale Ale at the World Beer Championships
Five gold medals for India Pale Ale at the World Beer Championships
Three gold medals for LTD 01 at the World Beer Championships
Session Premier Lager named World's Best Premium Lager at the World Beer Awards
Session Black Lager was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2009 Great American Beer Festival
Session Black Lager was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2010 World Beer Cup

WATCH: Novo Amor - 'Utican' & 'Birthplace'
I hadn't heard anything from Welsh artist Novo Amor (aka Ali Lacey) until I heard his single Birthplace earlier in the year. It's a beautiful track, and if you're a fan of early Bon Iver you'll probably love it, as well as new track Utican which I'm sharing below. His falsetto vocals are striking, accompanied by music that is vast, atmospheric and often cinematic in its nature, making use of some really exciting instrumentation, including soaring strings. Both tracks come from his upcoming debut solo album Birthplace, due for release on October 19th - if the rest of the record matches these singles in it's quality, I absolutely can not wait to hear more.
Beyond the music, which is utterly spellbinding, there are plenty more reasons to fall for Novo Amor, especially his care and love for the environment, which we should all share. There is a sustainability page on his website, detailing the steps he is taking to make his record and upcoming tour more environmentally friendly. These include using recycled and recyclable materials (right down to the LPs) to reducing waste (including plastic and food) on the road - by making use of refillable water bottles and "only asking for what we need, not what we want". As someone who has helped to supply riders for artists in the past - I fully approve of this point, because I have seen firsthand how much waste there often is, when artists request as much food and drink to be backstage as the promoter will provide. I've also often been concerned about the scale of single-use plastic used at shows in terms of plastic water bottles - and wondered why more touring bands couldn't just use refillable bottles. Hopefully more artists will follow suit!
In addition to this, for the video for Birthplace, Ali and his team enlisted the help of British Champion Freediver Michael Board to highlight the major issue of plastic pollution in our oceans. In the video, which you can (and definitely should) watch below, we are introduced to the beauty of the oceans, before being shown just some of the impact that plastic pollution is having on the incredible creatures which inhabit our oceans.
The video has been viewed over 750,000 times on Youtube alone, and was awarded 'Independent Video of the Year' at the AIM Awards recently. There is a behind the scenes video showing the sheer time and effort which went into creating such a visually impactful video, from both the creative team and locals in Bali. The video has an accompanying website, highlighting some fairly unbelievable statistics about worldwide plastic consumption via Earth Day, here are some which I found most shocking:
91% of plastic waste isn't recycled.
500 million plastic straws are used everyday in America.
Nearly two million single-use plastic bags are distributed worldwide every minute.
There are over 300,000 plastic beads in a tube of face wash.
Buy a reusable water bottle. Take a reusable cup to get your takeaway hot drink. Carry a backpack or tote bag for your shopping. Say no to a plastic straw or disposable cutlery. Boycott micro-beads. There are SO many ways that you can reduce your personal plastic consumption and make even the smallest of differences. For more info on the issue and what you can do to make a change, check out Plastic Oceans, and check out Novo Amor's upcoming tour dates here to hear this beautiful music live.

The Romantic Times Booklovers Convention is quickly coming up and the hubby gave me the green light to go for two days. I'm so excited! I'll be attending the conference on Friday and Saturday and I would love to see everyone else who is going. I know Angela from Dark Faerie Tales and Rayna from Naughty Editions will be there, but who else?
With this in mind, I've dreamed up (literally) a feature that I'm hoping I'll be able to run for the rest of the month. The "Look Who's Going to RT" will showcase various authors (and bloggers!) who will be roaming the halls of the Columbus Hyatt. If you're an author or blogger who would like to participate in this new feature, it's a quick five questions that I'll be using and they can be found here.
Chloe Neill unveiled the cover for the second Dark Elite novel, Hexbound, which is due out in January 2011.
Jeaniene Frost will be interviewing her critique partner, Melissa Marr, tomorrow at 1pm at Romance Radio. If there's something you ever wanted to know, you can call in with your questions during the interview at 347.826.9686 or via chat on Romance Radio.
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Associated tweeted some great news today.
Congratulations to SFWA member @Leannarenee. The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker will be adapted for musical theatre.
Rachel Vincent has posted an excerpt for her upcoming novel My Soul To Keep, which releases June 1st.
Joey w. Hill has posted the start to the latest Vampire Queen vignette. Taking the Gloves Off features Mason and Jessica from Beloved Vampire and may contain spoilers.
Alpha Heroes is looking for review submissions for her stop of the Bookworms Carnival. Nicola will be featuring Arthurian Legends for her stop and will be accepting reviews or posts on the subject until May 7th.
SciFiGuy has also found the cover for Mark del Franco's Face Off, the second Laura Blackstone novel which will be released July 27, 2010.
Oh good god….SciFi Wire is reporting that the latest book to get added to the "challenged books" list by the American Library Association is Stephenie Meyers Twilight saga. Why one might ask?
Meyer's stories of vampires and teen romance have been criticized for sexual content; a library association official also thinks that the "Twilight" series reflects general unease about supernatural stories.
Seriously? Sexual content? What sexual content? I think Edward and Bella kiss once in each book and that's it. Yeah, there's the whole first love tension, but no content. Am I wrong?
Rosemary Clement-Moore is having a massive contest to support Nothing but Nets Campaign. Contest ends April 29th.
Jeri Smith-Ready is giving away a signed copy of Shade via her Facebook fan page. Contest ends April 16th.
Calico Reader is giving away a copy of Maria Snyder's Inside Out. Contest ends April 27th.
All Things Urban Fantasy has posted her amazing list of contests that are going on in the blogosphere.
Wicked Little Pixie is giving away a copy of Ardeur: 14 Writers on the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Series. Contest ends April 23rd.
Gena Showalter is giving away a signed copy of Into the Dark. Contest ends soon.
On the whole Twilight issue… I believe they are referring to scenes in Breaking Dawn. Cause the other books your right it's just kissing.
Have a fantastic time! I wish I could be there, so I can't wait to read the full report from you and other bloggers fortunate enough to attend.
when RT was here in orlando, Melissa Marr, Jeanine Frost, Rachael Vincent mark del franco and 1 other author came to my local borders and it was so cool, because we got to ask questions regarding the books and we they even signed books for us. I bought so many books and bought a whole new set of The night huntress series, just so she can sign them… it was so cool. i regret not going to the hotel, next time it comes to O-town i am going.
have fun and take lots of pictures.

Tour De France 2014 – Stage 9 (Mulhouse – La Planche Des Belles Filles)
Many will be nursing a severe World Cup hangover – and what a tournament it was – but those who are into cycling have the elixir of the Tour De France's first proper mountain day as we head into one of the most decisive days of the race.
We've had tasters in the Vosges over the last two days, with Tony Martin turning on the power to turn yesterday into a procession after a day frontloaded with climbs, and also the short sharp climb upto Gerardmer that saw of the main favourites take a pop at eachother, but this is the real thing. Seven categorized climbs, 4 of which are category 1, and also La Planche Des Belles Filles. Those who remember the 2012 Tour, when Chris Froome helped put Bradley Wiggins in yellow, will know of the fierce climb, but that came after a docile day with 2 category 3 climbs, but tomorrow it's the final test of a hard mountain day that will grind the peloton into the ground.
The finish in 2012 – after a relatively easy day.
Today's epic comes after a far, far harder test.
It starts at the same place yesterday's stage finished, in Mulhouse, but after just 20km we have the Col Du Firstplan, 8.3km at 5.4%. This, and the first 20km, will be raced at a ferocious pace, as today's break is not only crucial for king of the mountains contenders with at least 4 climbs well up for grabs to an escape (including 2 category 1 ascents), and today is only Bastille Day, the French national holiday. Soon afterwards we have the Petit Ballon, the first real test of this year's Tour in a climbing sense – Le Markstein was long but not the most testing in gradient yesterday. An escape will be presumably be clear but now but Petit Ballon is very narrow with winding gradients, so position will be at a premium.
If you're having a bad day then there's no hiding place, as it's a 9.3 kilometre-long climb at 8.1%, so gradient and length will find you out. The descent is also winding with small roads, so position at the top is as crucial as the bottom, and the pace is likely to be fast (today's stage is just 161.5km). The Platzerwasel is less severe and complicated as the roads is nice and wide by climbing standards and while it's a testing climb the gradient is steady enough. The descent is long before the Col d'Oderen, which is 6.7km at 6.1%, and 20kms later (after a small bump in the middle at Le Thillot, according to the race profile at least), the Cold des Croix.
Now we get onto today's deciding factors. The Col Des Chevrères is listed as just 3.5km long but the road is rising for 6km beforehand, as shown in the profile below. I keep saying it but I'll repeat again, positioning is everything as the approach is narrow and the real stuff at the top even narrower. The actual marked climbs has an average of 9.5% and has an first kilometre with an average of 7% and an easing gradient before we hit two rock hard sections, about 1.5km at an average of 10.0% and 14.9% with maximum sections of 18% before the sprint to the top. The descent starts narrow but picks up with a wider road, and we don't have long before the feature finish, La Planche Des Belles Filles. This is basically a finishing wall, only 5.9km but averaging 8.5% overall with sections of 13%, and 11% twice as the road winds with small flats meaning the actual gradient is so much steeper. The road will wind to and from although stretches are very long and pacemaking is definitely possible as Team Sky showed (see right).
The real Col de Chevreres – rising and gradual before a hellish 3km at the top.
The actual finish is also a gamebreaker – after a fast run up from the flame rouge (well compared to the short hairpin leading into a legbreaking section of 20% before the line – the same place where Chris Froome launched his stage winning attack 2 years ago – todays is definitely one for the pure climbers in terms of the finish and also of gaining time. As severe as the test is, it's unlikely that we'll see Tour defining gaps – the field were close in 2012, albeit with a much easier day today –
An escape has gone the past two days but it's much harder to see it succeeding today. The race's best climbers (apart from one notable exception) are all in the general classification battle still and while and escape will go, the fight for position upto the Chevrères will put a large amount of pressure on the gap and the same for the finishing climb, a strength sapping affair where big engines could real in any escape.
Alberto Contador has looked back to his best all season and in the strongest races, as been the main man for summit finishes, winning four stages this season along with two stage races, while he was also strongest of the generous classification contenders on the hike upto Emosson and clear with Froome from major pretenders today on the first summit finish to Col Du Beal. This climb is made for him, with the steep percentages his domain, while his Saxo Tinkoff team looked strong in pace setting on Saturday and had the advantage of resting behind Astana yesterday as they left the yellow jersey on the shoulders of Tony Gallopin; On Saturday's finish at Gerardmer he was also the strongest of the main contenders and looked most at ease.
He has to go early, with Vincenzo Nibali still two and a half minutes ahead of him, and while the Spainard's favourite for the Tour after Saturday he won't be winning it today based on what we've seen on this climb previously. The Italian had been in dreadful form before we'd started this week but has looked to be in peak condition so far, and even thought much of his time gain is thanks to the difficulties others suffered on the cobbles, he distanced all the race's major players with Contador upto Mulouse before being distanced at the line. This kind of finish suits him, as do extremely steep percentages – he was fourth in 2012 as a much lesser rider than he is now – and he looks to be a fine each/way bet at 8/1 with Betfred paying 4 places – on the form we've seen so far he should be in a position to try and reel Contador to the line and that's a high level of form.
Contador and Nibali mano-a-mano. The same again today?
Richie Porte was third on Saturday, a much better effort than we've seen from him all season and he seemed to show the same form that Team Sky are claiming he's shown in training. If so, he's going to take some dropping here, as this climb is one he stormed 2 years ago and he still has a lot of climbing support here to help him despite Xabier Zandio's absence.
This is Bastille Day so expect attacks from Thibaut Pinot and Romain Bardet; The latter may be more suited to this particular ascent and it's sharp twisty kicks but the former looked better on Saturday, albeit without the real form of substance all year. Pierre Rolland is likely to try but I doubt his climbing form and we have to see how much energy he spent yesterday
Tejay Van Garderen has recovered from his crash in good style (close up on Saturday and comfortable on ascents since) having looked comfortable, and be beat Bardet at Catalunya earlier in the season – it is a great surprise to see him as big as 50's for the win today, a price hard to resist although he's short on climbing support for a GC man. This could be too much for Rui Costa, and Bauke Mollema hasn't looked as good in the race as hoped from the snapshots we've seen.
I would expect and hope to see Alessandro De Marchi and Joaqium Rodriguez, both active In their search for polkadots in the break but the only real escape men who would make appeal today are the Spaniard and Leopold Konig although Javier Cavevo (on hold for Talansky) is another name that could be there – I expect an escape to be swallowed up but Konig is worth a look for pre race trading purposes.
Of my pre race picks, Alejandro Valverde needs to show his face here, as he can't afford to wait if a podium challenge is coming and he was a little off the pace on Saturday but as said before that's a different test – Andrew Talansky is in an ever more dire situation but he may have the benefit of a little bit of free rein to boot being so far down and he has been coming to a peak over the past few weeks.
1 pt each/way Vincenzo Nibali (8/1 Betfred)
1 pt each/way Richie Porte (11/1 Boylesports)
Back to lay Leopold Konig (51 Betfair)

First ship to be recycled in Bangladesh under HKC rules
Bangladeshi ship recycling yard PHP Family is ready for demolition of its first vessel in accordance with Hong Kong Convention standards. The shipyard, located in Chittagong, was the first in Bangladesh to win a statement of compliance with the Convention, back in October 2017.
Ship Recycling | 12/07/18
The Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (2009) is aimed at ensuring that ships, when being recycled after reaching the end of their operational lives, do not pose any unnecessary risk to human health and safety or to the environment.
This recognition was considered as an important development towards a more sustainable ship recycling industry in the country, which has been strongly criticized by global NGOs for many years over marine pollution, hazardous waste dumping and unsafe working conditions.
The 1989-built VLOC 'Ore Vitoria', sold by Brazilian mining company Vale, will now be the first ship in Bangladesh to be recycled under the HKC environmental standards, which is considered as a 'historic moment', according to Md. Zahirul Islam, Managing Director of PHP.
A joint project between IMO and Norway to enhance safe and environmentally sound ship recycling in Bangladesh has entered its second phase last week. The SENSREC Project Phase II - Capacity Building, funded under a US$1.1 million agreement with Norway, will focus on legal and institutional analysis of ship recycling in the country and will develop a roadmap for the Government of Bangladesh to accede to Hong Kong Convention.
The treaty will enter into force 24 months after ratification by 15 States, representing 40% of world merchant shipping by gross tonnage. So far, six states have ratified the Convention.

As the fall/winter season is coming into full swing, it is just about time for the masses to make their way to the land of endless waterfalls and tacos: Mexico! The Alseseca and Jalacingo are some of the best rivers in the world to go and get your free all fix, or just to paddle some epic whitewater in the Mexican jungle. I have made the trip down to Tlapacoyan four times over the last 4 years, and it is one of my favorite places to paddle. I won't be making the trip down this year, but my younger brother Hayden will be down there at the beginning of December. As his trip nears, I have been telling him some things that I have learned from going down there, so I figured I would make a little list of my wide range of Top 10 tips I have for your trip to Veracruz.
Down in Veracruz there are the most subtly gnarly bugs I have come across. Known as "ispinas", they are these tiny little things that are everywhere. They look like small little gnats that bite, but you never feel the bite. Fast forward to laying in bed at Aventurec, and you will be scratching your legs like crazy with tons of small little red dots covering every inch of your legs. The scratching feels sooo good, but as soon as you stop they just burn. So bring light pants and long sleeves for paddling and off the river to save yourself. Ask anyone about the bugs… they will say the same thing.
When you arrive to Mexico at the airport and clear customs, you will get a small piece of paper that you DO NOT WANT TO LOSE. This piece of paper is required when you leave Mexico, and if you do not have it they will hassle you like crazy. My second trip down I lost it, and when I was leaving they said I had to go to the police station and report it. It is basically a normal customs slip with all the normal stuff (name, passport info, trip length etc). None of the information on it is different, and that was my reasoning with the guy, saying that if I fill out a new form now, it is the exact same as my missing form. He eventually gave me a new one to fill out, but I also had to pay $100. Don't lose the form!
With all the waterfalls you will run, along with the inevitable sickness you will get down there, I recommend 10-14 days. From the states it is super cheap to fly to Mexico City or Puebla and to stay at Aventurec. Trust me, it seems like a short amount of time, but you will get plenty of paddling and get on everything you want. Even if levels are off for a few things, doing 7 laps or something on Big Banana is worth the trip. I know people that have gone for 2 months, and everyone says don't do it. 10-14 is ideal, 3 weeks max.
4. Grippiest shoes you have!
The rock down there is super slippery. Bring a solid pair of 5.10's or Astral's. Slippery shoes down there make it even more scary when you are portaging and scouting.
You are going to get sick. Just know that you will have diarrhea and have a night or a few on the toilet with it coming every which way. The water is dirty and there is not much you can do about it. Only drink bottled water, and pick and choose your vegetables and try to not have ice. A lot of times they are rinsed and made with tap water. Bring some extra pairs of underwear because it is just the reality. Stay hydrated when you are sick, and tough it out and go paddle. You will feel awful, but paddling will help out, even if it is something easier.
Bring your Pepto, Imodium, and activated charcoal to help out, and just drink lots of water as I mentioned above. When you get "Montezuma's Revenge", basically nothing sounds good to eat. My go to when I am like this is to go to the grocery store and get a ton of Snickers. The straight sugar doesn't mess with my stomach, and it is the best thing for me to eat when I feel awful. When my stomach is upset, I also like some carbonated drinks like coke or sparkling water as well.
The rivers down there are definitely hard on kayaks. Bring whatever you like to repair boats, but I personally like bitchathane + duct tape on the outside. Welds just always re-crack for me. Aventurec has a heat gun and a nice little roller tool to weld, but using the bitchathane works best in my opinion. If you don't want to bring your boat back, Aventurec buys used boats to stock up on their rental fleet. Even if you break it, give it to them and they might take off some of the price of your stay.
Southwest is by far the best airline for domestic travel. They also now fly into Mexico City, so that is epic! 75 bucks for boat and paddle guaranteed and are 100% kayak friendly . They usually have low fares and I love flying with them. Aeromexico also takes "surf equipment" up to 9'8" and 100 pounds, so they are a great option for a pretty much guarantee with your boat wrapped up in something for a normal price of $150. Just make sure the first flight is a big plane and starts with either of those airlines.
With your stay at Aventurec, they serve you breakfast and dinner each day. Breakfast consists of a buffet style meal that switches up everyday but has fruit, yogurt, pancakes, eggs, quesadillas, french toast, refried beans, and pastries. Dinner is good too, and I suggest having it 2-3 times and the rest of the time go into town to eat. Walk out the gate and wait on the road for a taxi or bus to drive you 10 minutes to "al centro" (the center). Do some exploring and eat super cheap tacos or some really good pizza. Just let Aventurec know that you won't be having dinner that day, so you don't get charged, and they don't make food for you when it's not needed. You'll save a little bit of money, and get some more variety. It super fun walking around town with your friends and checking it out. Taxi drivers know where Aventurec is, so getting back isn't too hard. There is also a really good food stand right across the street from Aventurec that has some epic corn.
Since I learned to combat roll when I was 8 (now 21), I have had two swims, and both of them have been in Mexico! Perfect ledges create super sticky pourovers, and everyday is primed for you to run as hard of stuff you want. 10-14 days is perfect because you will be nervous above rapids a lot, and that's why you are coming to Mexico the waterfall paradise! Just know that depending on your program, the river will show you who is boss no matter who you are!
Hopefully these tips are helpful for your future trip to Tlapacoyan! Dont be scared away by getting sick, bug bites, and tall waterfalls.. the Alseseca is one of the most incredible drainages in the World that every creekboater should enjoy!
Have fun and charge hard!

October 18th is the feast of St. Luke, Evangelist and Artist. Tradition holds that the original Icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa, the "Black Madonna," was actually painted by St. Luke on a cypress table used by the Holy Family!
During our recent visit to my brother-in-law's parish we were blessed to be able to see and venerate the pilgrim icon that is currently making it's way From Ocean to Ocean in Defense of Life!
Chiquita immediately recognized Our Lady of Czestochowa from her Shining Light Collectible Doll!
You can actually order a free prayer card that has been touched to the pilgrim icon here.
Jenn shared some great ideas for celebrating the feast of St. Luke over at Catholic Culture and I just posted some simple cookies over at Catholic Cuisine.
Happy Feast of St. Luke!

One letter is out of place in a string of billions of letters. Such a tiny change, but so devastating. The mutation causes severe epilepsy that is hard to treat. It's likely that children affected by this disorder will always have seizures and will be challenged by physical and intellectual disability. There is currently no one effective treatment, and the disorder will affect these children throughout their lives.
Every child with this condition is affected differently and with varying severity. Children can be left without seizure control for long periods, which can a lifelong impact on their development. While choosing medications is a process of trial and error, with the help of several physicians, TCSF has developed a Clinician Reference Guide that can help guide your physician in best practices on medications to try (and to avoid).
SCN8A Epilepsy is a rare disorder that causes severe epilepsy, developmental delay, and other medical challenges. SCN8A is a gene that affects how brain cells function. Mutations on this gene can cause neurological problems including epilepsy and learning difficulties. The role of SCN8A in the human brain was discovered in 2010. Since then, ~300 patients have been diagnosed with SCN8A epilepsy. Due to advances in genetic testing, more patients are being discovered all the time. It is now believed that SCN8A mutations may cause up to 1% of all epilepsies.

COLUMN: FIRST THINGS FIRST– Some women want to slap a politician – – By Francisco S. Tatad
February 18, 2019 February 18, 2019 Editor 0 Comment COLUMN: FIRST THINGS FIRST– Some women want to slap a politician - – By Francisco S. Tatad
FRANCISCO S. TATAD
MY wife and I were having a quiet family dinner with our very young grandchildren last Thursday evening (Valentine's Day) when I was informed by GMA-Channel 7 that President Rodrigo Duterte, in a campaign speech in San Jose del Monte in Bulacan, had threatened to "slap me" for writing about his health.
ADS by Cloud 9:
– SPACE RESERVE FOR YOUR ADVERTISEMENT –
A niece messaged me later to say DU30 had asked me "to prove my virility," and "lend him my wife for 10 minutes." The threat was totally uncalled for, and the vulgarity way out of bounds. It was lower than low—far beyond the limits of what was morally permissible—even from the most reprehensible source.
I am a non-violent presidential critic, not an enemy of the President or the State. I engage in intellectual battles, argumentation and debate, not in tests of muscular strength or competitions in lewd behavior. In a few months, I will be 80, my wife 75; if DU30, who is 73, would like to demonstrate his manhood, he would probably meet no difficulty in violating the dignity of a defenseless and non-violent elderly couple.
I have no personal quarrel with President DU30. Some of my best friends in Davao are also his friends, and before he became President I used to think that because of them, he and I were also "friends." On my two successful senatorial runs, he gave me a ride on his motorbike and was utterly friendly and helpful. In the last election, I did not vote for any presidential candidate. But some people thought that by questioning candidate Grace Poe's Filipino citizenship before the Supreme Court, my friends and I actually helped the winner.
They reasoned that had we not questioned Sen Poe's citizenship, which cost her so many votes, she, not DU30, might have prevailed. All this is water under the bridge now, but this helps to show that my colleagues and I, at the National Transformation Council, were never DU30's critics in the beginning. We became critics only after every terrible thing began—the violations of human rights, the attacks on God, the Church, and religion, the deliberate relinquishment to China of our sovereign claims in the West Philippine Sea, and other serious issues. Even so, we never became DU30's enemies at all. As devoted Catholic Christians, we continue to denounce his errors, while praying for his conversion.
In one column, I said we cannot give up on this President; by the grace of God, Saul, who persecuted Christ, became Paul, the apostle of the Gentiles.
.ADS by Cloud 9:
Shaken belief
As a critic, I have raised issues others dared not raise. In fairness to DU30, he has endured my criticisms without any harassment or threat of violence and without heaping upon me or my family any abuse—until now. I thought this was a blessing despite his clear descent into authoritarian rule, which I have condemned. But his Valentine's Day attack on me may have shaken to the core my belief in his ability to handle his critics and their criticisms. This is not good at all.
I have been in public life since 1969 when, at 29, I joined the Cabinet and stayed for 10 long years. From the Cabinet, where I served as press secretary, presidential spokesman and information minister, I served in the legislature, first at the interim Batasang Pambansa, where I represented the Bicol region as the first of its 12 assemblymen, then in the Senate, where I served mostly as Majority Leader – for a total of 15 years. In between elective positions, I went back to journalism and functioned as a critic of presidents—from Marcos after I left the Cabinet, through Cory Aquino, before I joined the Senate, up to Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and B.S. Aquino 3rd, after I left the upper chamber.
Harder than Marcos
In 1972, I read Marcos' martial law proclamation to the nation. But I became the only member of his Cabinet to resign, six years before the EDSA revolt. Then, as a "comebacking" journalist and a newly minted critic, I helped expose Marcos' two secret kidney transplants in 1983 and 1984, among other things. Yet Marcos, whom many called a dictator, never responded as DU30 has, to my journalism. Malacañang denied my exclusive stories, and tried to show pictures of Marcos working in his study under normal conditions, while he received medical care somewhere else. But Marcos never lost his cool.
The whole Valentine's Day speech was a total shocker. I did not want to add fire to it, so I declined all interviews with the TV stations and the usual news forums. ut wherever I went after that, I was met by angry women who said they would like to "slap a politician" not so much because DU30 had threatened to slap me, as because he had disrespected my wife, who is not a party to the controversy, and, because of her, all women.
Reporting on DU30's speech last Saturday, The Manila Times quoted DU30 as saying my last article on his health condition, which he failed to reference accurately, was a "violation" of press freedom, for reasons he did not specify. "This Tatad, you Tatad. You know there is a border between press freedom and disrespecting people. If I see you, get out of my way. You son of a b***h, I will slap you. Believe me, I will slap you in front of a lot of people."
Report undisputed
He never found it necessary to say that my report about his alleged kidney operation on Jan. 29, 2019, was false. In fact, he never referred to the alleged kidney procedure; instead, he excoriated me for allegedly claiming—which I never did—that he was afflicted with "cancer." By changing the term of reference, he avoided answering the question I asked in my column, "Did he get a new kidney?"
The President said this was a violation of press freedom. Perhaps what he really meant was, it's a violation of his right to privacy. But where the President's health is concerned, the people's right to know and the President's duty to be transparent about it, are paramount and precede his right to privacy. The Constitution makes this abundantly clear.
DU30's virility
If the President's only problem were his virility, a subject he likes to talk about, no journalist could claim the right or duty to inquire into it, even in the name of press freedom. This is because a leader's libido is not the legitimate concern of the community, unless, of course, the problem is one of extreme excess, which makes its possessor behave like an animal in heat which tries to mate with every female beast on sight. In which case, its possible effect on public order and state affairs could create a legitimate public interest.
I hope and pray that DU3O's spoken threat does not translate into a real act of violence. However, 849 years ago, in 1170, Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was murdered by King Henry 2nd's dark knights after they heard him say, "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?" This is what some people fear. DU30 is no Henry 2nd, and I am no Thomas Becket, but there are many villainous characters around who may not hesitate to add another murder to their crimes. DU30 should guarantee that nothing like this happens.
A positive ending
For the nation's sake, this episode must end well. This entails a few things. First of all, the President should be able to suffer the distinction between the rights and duties of the press and those of his office. Between purely private matters and matters of public interest. And how to respond to legitimate criticism.
Regarding the last, the President should find time to read and understand what his critics write. My impression is that he does not exert enough effort to do this. In my own case, I am told somebody reads what I write and summarizes it for the President. Since I am not always easy to read, so much is lost in the process.
Thus, DU30 seems to believe I have written what I have not written—that he is suffering from cancer. In 2017, when his spokesman could not tell the press where the President was, I asked whether it was possible he had gone to the Fuda Cancer Hospital in Guangzhou as some had claimed in social media. The President was first piqued, but eventually confirmed it, saying he had gone to Fuda to see where Tatad had himself circumcised, so that he could have his own circumcision fixed too.
The next steps
In my last piece on the President's health, I reported on the alleged kidney operation after he disappeared from public view for a combined stretch of 14 days, prompting the Malacañang spokesman, Sal Panelo, to formally squelch rumors that he had in fact died. Malacañang should have instantly declared that kidney report false; but for at least a full week the report was completely uncommented upon, and when the President finally spoke, he threatened to slap me in the face without denying the story.
To avoid this from recurring, DU30 should now follow the Constitution and require his medical doctor to periodically issue bulletins about his state of health. He should also probably meet with his critics every now and then to satisfy their curiosity about his health, and at the same time to enable him to give them a piece of his mind, and "slap them in the face," if ever necessary. Marcos never shied away from these encounters; DU30 should be braver than Marcos.
Big corporate media should now exercise their paramount duty to inform the public on the President's state of health at all times. Whenever any question on this issue arises, they should make it their business to be the first ones to get the entire story out, firsthand. They should not allow one solitary journalist, particularly a columnist, to risk getting slapped in the face for running after the story by his lonesome. Big media should be the first ones to go in.
Memories were to be remember.
Not only in month of December.
It is just a note and a reminder
Of the past lives once was there.

Now that spring has officially sprung and the angle of the sun is becoming more direct above us, our region will see increased ground-level ozone in the air we breathe. In the layer far above the surface of the Earth, ozone helps protect our planet from solar radiation. However, when ozone forms at "nose-level" from various emissions reacting with intense sunlight, it is harmful to our health. In Pima County, the largest single source of the emissions that form ozone is motor vehicle use.
In the past, elevated ozone levels typically began in May, but last year Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) monitors detected elevated ozone levels in April. Depending on weather conditions and emissions in the air, we could see that trend continue this year. Driving and idling less will help reduce some of the emissions that combine to form ozone.
In 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) changed the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone to make it more protective of public health. Ozone levels in Pima County are now very close to violating the health standard.
How Close Are We to the EPA Ozone Standard? Ozone levels are just under the EPA health standard. The EPA NAAQS for ozone is 0.070 parts per million (8-hour average) and the 3-year average levels in Pima County are at 0.069 ppm.
What Does Ozone Do To Our Health?
The health effects from unhealthy levels of ozone can lead to increased school and work absences, medication use, visits to doctors and emergency rooms, and hospital admissions.
Who Is At Risk? People most at risk from breathing air containing unhealthy levels of ozone include people with asthma and other respiratory illnesses, children, older adults, and people who are active outdoors, especially outdoor workers. If you are sensitive to ozone, you can let your health care provider know that EPA has developed a course for medical providers to teach them more about ground-level ozone.
Who Determines if We Violate the Standard? EPA decides if our region meets the new health standard by using an average of the most recent three years of ozone data from PDEQ monitors. Reducing ozone levels will be key in keeping Pima County in attainment of the new EPA standard.
What Can We Do To Keep Ozone Levels Healthy? As previously mentioned, one of the largest single sources of the ingredients that form ozone are vehicle emissions. The good news is we can take individual actions on a daily basis to keep the air healthy to breathe. There are multiple ways to reduce ozone including: driving less and sharing rides, taking transit, biking, and walking when possible; limiting engine idling; combining errands into one trip; keeping tires properly inflated, stopping at the click when refueling to avoid spills; refueling after 6 p.m. during the summer; and conserving electricity.
How Can We Protect Ourselves If We Are Sensitive to Ozone? Know what air pollution levels are before going out and, if levels are high, spend less time outdoors and reduce your level of excursion if outside. The Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) monitors for ozone at eight different monitoring sites throughout eastern Pima County. Five-day Air Quality Forecasts are now available through Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. Real-time air quality data is provided on the PDEQ website and the public can sign up with PDEQ to receive air quality advisories when high pollution levels are imminent via email or through Twitter @PimaDEQ.

POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY.
of promoting a more generous nationality. This was twenty-five years before the university ideal was reached in America. His conception of a university included all that our most venerable institutions have yet realized.
Lieber struggled for eight years before he found any permanent employment. In 1828 he began the work of editing the Encyclopædia Americana, and in his project he was warmly supported by Edward Everett, George Bancroft, and Judge Story. He yearned for the time when he might be able to write upon subjects that had long occupied his mind. In 1835 his hopes were realized by his appointment to the professorship of history and political economy in South Carolina College. In his contact with Niebuhr at Home he had acquired a taste for historical studies, and he became the first great teacher in this country of history and politics as co-ordinated subjects.
It was Lieber's lot to encounter many obstacles in his career. Although as a boy his soul longed for liberty, he found even in America a part of the human race in bondage, and this earnest advocate of freedom was compelled to make his home in the very midst of the slave power. Lieber did not desire to go to the South, but after a struggle of eight years in the North he felt compelled to accept the position in order to provide for his family. It also afforded him leisure time to write his Political Ethics, Legal and Political Hermeneutics, and Civil Liberty and Self-Government, the three great works upon which his fame will chiefly rest. In 1856 he was a candidate for the presidency of the college, and, failing to secure this position, he resigned his professorship. The next year, he was called to Columbia College, New York city. Dr. Herbert B. Adams states that the call of Lieber to Columbia College marks the first recognition by a Northern college of history and politics as properly co-ordinated subjects. Lieber spent nearly forty years as a teacher of this most vital branch to the youth of the republic.
Before tracing out the leading theories of Lieber's works, it may be well to refer to the political thought of his day. His youth was spent in a period when in his own country two opposing schools of law and political science existed. The historical school based its method upon the course of outward events and their evolution, while the philosophical school began with the knowledge of the human mind, and from this starting point considered the revelation of the spirit of man in history. Dr. Bluntschli says that only a few philosophers have had the genius to unite the two methods. Lieber rose above the conflict of the two schools and became one of the first representatives of their alliance. In writing his great works he had to venture upon an untrodden path, and, in his Political

Two Justice Department prosecutors want a federal appeals court in Washington to review a judge's ruling in October that maintained a civil contempt finding against the attorneys for their work in the prosecution of Ted Stevens.
Lawyers for Justice prosecutors William Welch II and Brenda Morris filed a notice of appeal today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Morris and Welch were transferred from the department's Public Integrity Section after the collapse of the Stevens case in April 2009 amid allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.
An attorney for Morris, Hogan Lovells partner Catherine Stetson, was not immediately reached for comment this afternoon. A lawyer for Welch, Mark Lynch, a Covington & Burling partner, was unavailable for comment. A call left with another attorney for Welch, Zuckerman Spaeder partner William Taylor III, was not immediately returned.
The notice of appeal filed on behalf of Morris and Welch challenges the 26-page opinion Judge Emmet Sullivan published in October. In February 2009, the judge held Morris, Welch and DOJ appellate supervisor Patricia Stemler in civil contempt for allegedly violating court orders to turn over certain information to Stevens' lawyers at Williams & Connolly.
In his ruling last month, Sullivan refused to vacate the contempt finding against the three Justice lawyers. The judge's ruling said the attorneys were no longer in contempt for their alleged violation of a court order. Sullivan said sanctions were not warranted since the government produced the records to Stevens' lawyers.
The notice of appeal filed today on behalf of Morris and Welch did not specify the nature of the legal challenge of Sullivan's decision. Stemler is not participating in the appeal, according to her attorney, Howard Shapiro, a partner in the Washington office of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr. The notice transfers the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Morris, Welch and three other prosecutors remain under criminal contempt investigation for their roles in the Stevens case. Sullivan last year appointed a special prosecutor, Henry Schuelke III of Washington's Janis, Schuelke & Wechsler to oversee the investigation.

"I'm positive about the RapidAuthor software. It's just a top match. Some parameters needed to be customized, but we had great help from the Cortona3D team."
Jesper Wexel, Project Manager, ENKOTEC
'We have a qualitative change in the new way we provide information about maintenance and repairing of KAMAZ products, their structures and spare parts. Positive reviews show we are going in the right direction".
Irek Gumerov, Deputy General Director and Development Director, KAMAZ
"Compared to other CBT tools, this is much more visual, more interactive, and more conducive to retaining memories and new knowledge. When the astronaut must turn a given valve in the ATV, he sees that valve turn in his on-screen representation. ESA and EAC had the documents, materials and knowledge, but it took Cortona3D software tools to transfer our knowledge efficiently. Making the final product took highly collaborative, back-and-forth teamwork. We went over every screen and each action on each screen time and again to ensure factual accuracy, visual clarity and, lastly ease of use."
"This is very easy to use, and that's very important. Students refresh a two-hour procedure in five minutes. It's that intuitive."
"There aren't that many astronauts on the planet and they form a tight community. Word has already spread to other space agencies, and they expect to replicate the successes that EAC instructors and Cortona3D engineers have produced. They're impressed with it and they'll get a copy to take back home to show teammates, trainees and instructors.
Richard Moss, Head of ATV Training, ESA
"I have worked in technical publication for 20 years, and our progress is absolutely phenomenal. Researching the content of maintenance manuals is normally the most important and timeconsuming aspect of producing technical documents. With Teamcenter generating accurate content and RapidAuthor for visualization, we dramatically cut our preparation and research time. It has taken 50 percent less time to produce manuals, at significantly lower cost than previously, and we met our target to provide publications six months before the trains enter operation. We are using the multi-structure manager, content management and workflow aspects of Teamcenter and they are extremely good at what they do. However, it is the way in which we are using Teamcenter with RapidAuthor that takes our solution to a whole new level."
John Straw, technical publications manager at Siemens Mobility
Leading Manufacturer of Aircraft Engines and components
"Immediately, we cut authoring from eight hours per page down to one hour. Cortona 3D gives us a unified authoring space where we import UGS Teamcenter or other CAD graphic sources and Excel parts lists. We give parts and assemblies interactive 3D capabilities and can crosslink any item to any other item. We enable users to filter by model, service bulletins, and user codes to enhance search and ease of use. The tool also supplies digital output in SGML, HTML and XML."
"We used to manually import, edit, redraw and page-reference many iterations of engineering drawings, parts lists and instructions from many sources. This formerly took two writers and a number of illustrators two years to complete. What we once redrew and re-described, we now import and link. So the 3D IPC is a far superior tool and it only took nine months with one author and one illustrator to produce. The result is a substantial cost savings."
"We wanted to ensure that our technical publications products keep pace with our engine technology, providing our customers with cutting-edge products that add value to their airline operations."
"Integrating the 3D IPC's interactive illustrations with identifiable part names and numbers gives our customers a solution that is more intuitive and much easier to use. It will offer productivity improvements to mechanics and staff."
"Technicians are very enthusiastic. Not a single machine is assembled without that application anymore. The technicians can search by item number and retrieve the description, the quantity and the production drawing for every part and view the machines in 3D without having to call on engineering. It works so well that the technicians can't do without it any more".
Paul Bax, Sales engineer, ATD Machinery
"RapidCatalog accepts JT data directly from our CAD. This establishes the required consistent global framework on our parts' source material. Now our design, manufacturing, processes, and of course electronic literature can be streamlined and universally consistent." "Beyond speed and convenience, the obvious benefits will be ease of attracting after-sales revenue while every dealer helps build a superior reputation for Nipponia in our industry." "It's a very, very simple procedure. To prove the point, although we had very little time to prepare marketing material for this exhibit, we were able to publish our initial catalog in time to show it and make a video demonstrating its capabilities."
Alexandros Zountas, Chief Information Officer
"Cortona3D came out on top for a long list of reasons. It's by far the best - suited to eLearning and interactive manuals. It's also well priced and has excellent support." We move more surely and faster with Cortona3D... The software comes with engineering-specific libraries, e.g., 'Screw in bolt' and 'Unscrew screw' that make development faster and easier than other solutions. We finish projects much faster now. Cortona3D is purpose-built to step someone with no 3D expertise through the building of interactive manuals and training." "After completing the training program, if an engineer wants to verify something in the field, he/she checks the animated manual on his/her laptop. They can 'explode' the boiler, even rehearse repair steps... we have wonderful feedback from customers and their employees on ease of learning and repair time saved."
Al-Kadar, New Media Director, Logicom

Acne is a skin disease which has many causes and appears to be a satisfying of transition into the teen years. Acne can show up at any age, it is connected with the teenage years.
Some people mistakenly believe that only teens get acne. The truth is that individuals of all ages can get acne from newborns with infantile acne to expectant women with acne of pregnancy and elderly adults who can get the isolated acne.
Although acne is not a life endangering condition it can induce critical consequences for the teen that is self-conscience and can lead to depression.
Another myth is that caring for a pimple with spot preparations will cure the zit fast. The truth is that it takes some weeks for a zit to take shape and it does not go away that quick.
A lot of people believe that food can induce acne. This myth is incorrect. Foods like pizza, greasy french fries and chocolate cannot induce acne.
Although makeup cannot induce acne, applying makeup with a oil base can to abnormal oil on the face which can lead to acne. Individuals can likewise use makeup to conceal acne.
One myth is that acne is caused by dirt and that blackheads are dirt. It is not true that dirt is required in the physical process of developing acne. In fact if you wash your face too often or scrub your face too hard you can in reality dry out your face and exacerbate your acne.
Interpreting what myths are misleading can assist people to deal with acne in a manner that will allow for them to consume foods that are nutritious, get enough of sleep, do activities that they love without threat of looking as if you should feel ashamed about eating pizza or French fries.
Acknowledging the truth will help you to think to eat correct diets, get exercise; wear makeup instead of being fearful of it, and eating the foods that they enjoy most.
Knowledge is power and learning about myths and their accuracy can help others to realize clear skin.
Acne has many reasons none of which is the food we eat, though it is critical to have a well – balanced diet.
And So basically acne is not just for teenagers, is not caused by dirt, though washing your face twice a day can prevent acne from forming.
Acne cannot disappear quickly just because a spot preparation is applied directly on the pimple. Acne takes a while to take form and people has to be patient with the curing process.
It is a myth that makeup stimulates acne though it is very, good at hiding it.
There you have all of the myths summed up for you and easy to remember.

It was an especially lovely spring day in Texas, and thus a perfect time for The Woodlands campus of Montgomery College to have its "Taste of the Arts" celebration under the sponsorship of Conservatory Senior Living. Guests were treated to a sumptuous buffet provided by Catering Delights, floral decorations from Rainforest Flowers, and some of the university's finest musicians provided musical ambiance while gallery visitors enjoyed the extraordinary and multi-colored glass artistry on display in the form of lamps, vases and exquisite wall designs, some of which were valued at more than $8,000. But that was not all. The curtain was about to go up on a free preview of the Theatre Department's new production of Larry Shue's often hilarious comedy, "The Foreigner." Ably directed by Chase Waites, it would be the perfect end to a wonderful evening of the arts.
When at its best, the play is a first-rate farce. Miss McDaniel, reminding one a bit of Edith Bunker with her characterization's shrill voice and hunched body language, does plenty to advance the cause as the ditzy owner of the lodge. Mr. Ubel gives a subtle, yet riotous performance as an affectionate half-wit who becomes the foreigner's "teacher," explaining things like the correct pronunciation of what he thinks are the two syllables in the word "fork!" Meanwhile, Mr. Reed is a constant scene-stealer, milking the nonsense at every opportunity as Charlie continues pretending the only thing he can say in English is, "Thank-you." He is at his best when deliberately infuriating Owen, and don't miss his extended pantomime segment that brings down the house.
There are moments when the humor sags a bit, and not every word spoken on the stage is heard, as eager young actors race their lines or work too hard on accents. But sound designs from Timothy Walker work well, (even in a thunderstorm), and costumes were reliably designed by Macy Perrone. And just what are Owen and the Reverend Lee up to? You'll have to buy a ticket to find out!
The Foreigner continues on the Mainstage (D100) of Montgomery College-The Woodlands through April 21st. Performances are today at 2 p.m. and April 19-21 at 7:30 p.m., with General Admission tickets $10, Seniors $7, Students/Faculty/Staff $5. For tickets or information contact Amy Cooper at 936-273-7021 or by e-mail at amy.f.cooper@nhmccd.edu.

This Is Where Pippa Middleton Will Get Married
ByArchitectural Digest, Contributor
04/17/2017 03:36pm EDT | Updated April 17, 2017
For Architectural Digest, by Melissa Minton.
Andrew Matthews/AFP/Getty Images
After becoming a media fixture in her own right at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in 2011, the Duchess of Cambridge's sister now has her own impending nuptials to look forward to. Pippa Middleton just announced that she will wed James Matthews on May 20, with her niece and nephew serving as a bridesmaid and page, respectively. The venue the couple chose might not surprise you; St. Mark's Church in Englefield, Berkshire, is near the Middletons' childhood home in Bucklebury. It also happens to be where Prince George and Princess Charlotte attended their first Christmas church service this past December and stole the spotlight while enjoying some candy canes.
Andrew Matthews - WPA Pool/Getty Images
The nave of the quaint stone church is its oldest section, built in 1190, according to the church's website. It was extensively restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1857 and a tower was added in 1868. St. Mark's is also located near the royal family's Sandringham estate in southern England, where they typically celebrate Christmas. The Queen even sends Christmas trees from the country home to local schools and churches. With Pippa's royal connections, we can think of no more fitting setting.

Hailey Baldwin on Her Intense Diet and Go-To Highlighters
I had a feeling I would like Hailey Baldwin. My suspicions started last February when she did Self Service's questionnaire. The magazine asked Baldwin to name her least favorite word and least favorite sound, to which she replied "panties" and "airplane toilets flushing." These are my least favorite word and sound. What are the odds? Six months later, when I learned I'd be speaking with the model in honor of Sephora's 400th North American store opening on Chicago's Michigan Avenue, it felt like kismet.
I knew we'd have tons to talk about.
It's been a busy year for Baldwin. Her 2016 calendar has overflowed with campaigns and runway shows for the likes of Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, Moschino, and H&M. She's appeared in Vogue Korea and graced the cover of Marie Claire. Meanwhile, her personal beauty look is "glowing up" at the same pace. Baldwin is quickly joining the ranks of Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid as one of the decade's foremost beauty It girls.
Sadly, I couldn't get to Chicago in time to meet Baldwin in person at the new Sephora store, so we settled to chat by phone. Minor setback—even from 2000 miles away, Baldwin's relaxed, personable demeanor was crystal-clear. She bears all the symptoms of a supermodel on the rise: the down-to-earth attitude and slight sense of bewilderment at what her life is becoming.
I only had 10 minutes with Baldwin, so we really packed it in. To learn all about her model diet, her celebrity crush, and her ride-or-die beauty products, keep scrolling.
Steve and Anne Truppe
As evidenced by these majestic Polaroids, Baldwin's highlight is always 100% on point. We'd barely exchanged names before I asked her what she uses. Unsurprisingly, her list of go-to highlighters is long. "I like to use liquid and cream highlighters," she said. "Becca, Laura Mercier, Smashbox, and Sigma are my favorites." Baldwin told me she rarely wears powder products unless she's hitting a red carpet. "So I don't look shiny," she said. Otherwise, she likes to keep her finish as dewy as possible.
Baldwin told me the red carpet and photo shoots are the only circumstances under which she has her makeup professionally done. If she could attempt any beauty-related profession other than her own, she said it'd undoubtedly be a makeup artist. "I love to do my own makeup in everyday life," she told me. (One of her favorite products to use on herself is Dior's Crème de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm, which she said is her favorite product sold at Sephora.)
I didn't see it in person, but I caught wind of Baldwin's look the day of our conversation before the photos came in—her big curly bun, dark arched brows, and deep maroon lip resurrected Cindy Crawford circa 1992.
But Baldwin's personal beauty icon comes from a more modern era. "Are there any celebrities you have a beauty crush on?" I asked her. "Margot Robbie," she answered without a second of hesitation, praising the actress's breezy, timeless aesthetic. "I love classic, effortless beauty," Baldwin said. "That's beautiful to me—when it seems like you didn't try."
Of course, Baldwin begins crafting her image well before makeup enters the picture—skincare, diet, and fitness play a big role. As for her skincare routine, Baldwin swears by dermatologist-approved brand EltaMD. She says she likes to keep it "really simple." Just face wash, toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen.
Her nutrition and fitness habits are significantly more extreme, which I was actually relieved to hear. It can be discouraging to read interview after interview of stick-thin models claiming to eat pizza and fast food for every meal. But when I asked Baldwin about her diet and workout regimen, she was perfectly candid—pizza and fast food do not make it into her daily plan.
"Right now I'm on this 10-day metabolic cleanse where I have to drink a protein shake a few times a day and then have a super-strict diet," she said, letting me know that it was difficult and nothing like the model field trips to In-N-Out we're so used to hearing about. "I obviously don't do that every day," she qualified. "But otherwise, I do eat really healthy. A lot of vegetables and fish, not much meat, minimal dairy. I just feel better when I eat that way."
Baldwin's workout routine is equally devout, involving a rotation of Pilates, yoga, and barre. "I used to be a ballet dancer, so I enjoy those types of workouts," she said.
Finally—validation that supermodels do have to work to stay in shape. That said, I had to ask her: "What does a really good cheat day look like?"
"A really good cheat day?" she said. "A cheeseburger and fries."
Though she works hard behind the scenes, Baldwin's social media presence makes her life look devastatingly glamorous. Take it from her 7.5 million Instagram followers, who get a daily taste of her model life in the form of behind-the-scenes fashion week snaps, sneak peeks at photo shoots, and glowy-faced selfies with famous friends from Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner to Justine Skye.
Again, Baldwin's too-cool Instagrams don't come without effort. "I use the VSCO app for the lighting," she says. Beyond that, though, she tries not obsess over her posts. "If I like the photo I'll post it, and that's it," she told me. "I don't really think too much about it. I like selfies; I don't post too much when I'm working. I'm pretty chill about it."
By now, I had the impression that Baldwin was a truth-teller, so when I asked her to paint a picture of the average day in her life—the worst and the best of it—I knew she'd give me a real answer.
Baldwin's schedule requires her to wake up early most of the time, which she considers her least favorite part of life as a supermodel. But after all her hectic obligations are over—flights, shoots, interviews, and appearances—come the quiet moments that Baldwin says she lives for. "I always look forward to spending time alone," she told me. "To watching TV, to chilling by myself."
In the final seconds of our interview, I heard some shuffling in the background, before Baldwin told me she had to run. "Sorry, I have to catch a flight!" she said. I didn't get the chance to ask Baldwin where she was going, but I thanked her for her time and let her off the phone. I dreaded the sound of the airplane toilet flush on her behalf but felt comforted to know that a quiet night in some posh hotel room was surely on the way.
Next, don't miss Kendall Jenner's edition of The Close-Up, where she tells us her best beauty secret (and everything she eats).

The moment we met with the team over at Firefish software, a recruitment marketing platform, we knew that we were meant to work together!
And now, thanks to our exciting new partnership, its customers can reach candidates directly on their mobile phone screens via FireText!
Excited? You should be. 98% of all text messages are read, 94% are read within five minutes of being received, and 66% of adults in the UK own a smartphone. SMS messages are certainly a smart choice.
One in three recruitment agencies have a database where only 10% of their candidates' information is up-to-date in the system. Firefish can increase this to 80% in six months.
Every recruiter's nightmare is missing out on a placement when the perfect candidate was in their database already, but they didn't know because the information was out of date. That's why Firefish doesn't just store candidate data; it's an engagement engine designed to help recruiters achieve the maximum placements from that data.
The average recruitment agency has lots of online tools: applicant tracking system, website, job boards, social media. But with little or no integration between them, candidates get lost between the gaps to competing agencies. Firefish leaves no gaps: the applicant tracking system, website, marketing and social channels are all integrated to maximise placement opportunities.
Easily reach candidates with information that matters, get super quick responses, and enjoy increased engagement all from your Firefish dashboard. Get started today!

10 Biggest IPO Flops in History
Vonage Holdings Corp. founder, chairman and chief strategist Jeffrey Citron celebrates his company's IPO with then-New York Stock Exchange CEO John Thain after the opening bell on May 24, 2006. The celebration wouldn't last long.
Richard Drew/AP Images
An initial public offering (IPO) is often described as a company's "coming out party." It's the moment when a successful, privately held business says, "Hey, world! Who wants a piece of the action?" If all goes well, investors scramble to buy the freshly minted stock, lifting the price through the roof and making lots of people happy -- by which we mean filthy rich -- in the process.
Then again, you can't really predict a party's outcome. What if nobody shows up? What if the caterer sneezes on the shrimp cocktail? What if the Jimmy Buffett cover band turns out to be the real Jimmy Buffett?
The same is true for IPOs. Sure, an IPO can bring an instant flood of capital, but it can also mean opening your company to greater public scrutiny, cranky shareholders and fickle market forces. For the following companies, their long-awaited IPOs proved to be DOA.
Read on to learn more about the 10 biggest IPO flops of all time.

KEF updates its legendary LS50 speakers with distortion-killing 'metamaterials'
There is perhaps no modern speaker more famous among audio enthusiasts than the KEF LS50. Launched back in 2012 to celebrate the venerable audio company's 50th anniversary, the speaker was quickly met with critical acclaim and enduring popularity. At this point the LS50 is basically a meme, and it's pretty much impossible to navigate audio forums without it coming up every few pages, along with its streaming variant, the LS50W.
Not one to let such popular models go stale, today KEF announced their successors: the LS50 Meta and LS50 Wireless II. The key acoustic update is a newfangled use of metamaterials to "absorb 99% of the unwanted sound radiating from the rear of the driver, reducing distortion and enabling the prevention of audio distraction." It covers a range from 600Hz all the way up to the top of the tweeter's response.
The metamaterial KEF is using essentially looks like a maze, whose function is to 'trap' the unwanted back wave radiation. KEF says it's a massive leap over "traditional approaches" that it says only allow about 60% absorption. You can learn more about the technology in this short video KEF released a few weeks ago:
It also looks pretty cool, even if we never get to see it given it's tucked away inside the speaker.
Speaking of pretty, KEF is introducing some snazzy new colors for the LS50, along with a slightly tweaked curvature, particularly on the backside. I'm especially fond of the blue and gold colorway that appears to be exclusive to the passive model.
Back to the acoustics, the LS50 Meta also uses the 12th generation of the company's trademark Uni-Q driver, which, unlike most speakers, allows sound to emanate from the tweeter and woofer at the same point in space. KEF is also claiming the bass exceeds what you'd expect for a speaker its size, although the claimed -6dB point is still the same 47Hz as the original LS50.
Without having heard the speaker or seen any hard data, it's hard to say how palpable the improvements are over the existing model. There's a lot more to good sound than distortion, and the KEF LS50 had worse measurements and in my experience sounded worse than its larger and newer brother, the R3. Hopefully, the company has brought some of the R3's goodness to the LS50 Meta.
And then there's the LS50 Wireless II. This is arguably the more interesting update, even if doesn't come in that snazzy blue (instead it gets a rather ominous-looking red). KEF addresses many of the criticisms of the original model, finally allowing you to actually use the speakers wirelessly (the original LS50W was 'wireless' in the streaming sense, but required a cable between the two speakers).
There are a plethora of modern upgrades too. The speaker has almost every physical input you could want, including optical, coaxial, 3.5mmm, and HDMI eARC for easy integration into a home theater setup, although the company has abandoned the USB DAC. It supports a host of streaming services, including Chromecast, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal, Amazon Music, Qobuz, Deezer, and Roon. Of course, Bluetooth is on board as well.
Acoustically, the LS50W II features the same improvements as the LS50 Meta, although it includes DSP to refine the sound further and allows users to customize acoustics via the KEF connect app.
There's also a new 100W amplifier for the tweeter complimenting the 280W amplifier for the woofer. That should help the LS50W get plenty loud and reach lower than you might expect from a bookshelf speaker, although once again KEF is not claiming any lower bass than the prior generation's 40Hz( -6 dB).
The LS50 Meta is available starting today for $1,499.99 a pair, while the LS50W will go on sale October 11. We hope to get our hands (ears?) on the speaker — stay tuned to this space for more.

2018 is the Chinese New Year of the Dog, celebrated on February 16th. The dog is the eleventh of all zodiac animals. Honest and loyal, dogs are the truest friends and most reliable partner. A Dog's most defining characteristic is their loyalty. They will never abandon their friends, family or work. The last Year of the Dog was in 2006.
New Year Markets – during the course of the New Year's days, a temporary market will be set up to sell New Year goods such as clothing, fireworks, decorations, food, etc.
Cleaning – a few days before the Chinese New Year, people do a complete house cleaning and housewares which signify to remove the old and welcome the new.
Decoration – after the cleaning, people will decorate the house to welcome the New Year.
Red Packets – the packet, similar to an envelope with money are given by adults to children in the New Year days.
Today we are sharing a fun version of the Red Packet with our Chinese New Year Party Favors. We decided to keep them general so they can be used year after year. But you can of course, add the Year of the Dog to them if you want.
The Chinese New Year Party Favors were also quite frugal too. Depending on what you fill them with, you can make them for about $.50 cents each. I think they would be super fun at a child's birthday party as well.
Cut the tissue. I got 4 out of each piece of tissue.
Roll up tissue and slip into tube. Tie up one end with ribbon.
Tie other end. And you are done.
Hi Ardis, well it appears that Semi Homemade has taken down their site. I searched around for another printable and did not find anything, however, if you search Google images…http://images.google.com/ – then type in "year of the dragon", you will see lots of different photos. From there you can either save the photo if it's free, or purchase one from a site that hosts images.
Looks like it was a great party! Thanks for sharing!
This is amazing! My step dad is English and we do this a Christmas every year, but usually I'm running to world market are pier 1 and spending a fortune for six little crackers. But this is perfect! I definitively have to try this out.

Q: Camel SCR component tries to add component to context twice if route builder includes an errorHandler I am using Camel in Karaf using SCR to process messages from ActiveMQ
Versions:
*
*Camel: 2.16.0
*Karaf: 4.0.7
*ActiveMQ 5.14.1
When I deploy the following Camel route to Karaf all works fine:
package com.test;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
public class TestRoute extends RouteBuilder {
@Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
from("activemq:queue:TEST.IN")
.routeId("test-route")
.log("Message picked up from IN queue");
}
}
Here is my SCR Runner class:
package com.test;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory;
import org.apache.activemq.camel.component.ActiveMQComponent;
import org.apache.activemq.pool.PooledConnectionFactory;
import org.apache.camel.RoutesBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsConfiguration;
import org.apache.camel.scr.AbstractCamelRunner;
import org.apache.camel.spi.ComponentResolver;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Component;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Properties;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Property;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Reference;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.ReferenceCardinality;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.ReferencePolicy;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.ReferencePolicyOption;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.References;
import org.osgi.framework.BundleContext;
@Component(label = TestRunner.COMPONENT_LABEL, description = TestRunner.COMPONENT_DESCRIPTION, immediate = true, metatype = true)
@Properties({
@Property(name = "camelContextId", value = "test-context"),
@Property(name = "active", value = "true"),
})
@References({
@Reference(name = "camelComponent",referenceInterface = ComponentResolver.class,
cardinality = ReferenceCardinality.MANDATORY_MULTIPLE, policy = ReferencePolicy.DYNAMIC,
policyOption = ReferencePolicyOption.GREEDY, bind = "gotCamelComponent", unbind = "lostCamelComponent")
})
public class TestRunner extends AbstractCamelRunner {
public static final String COMPONENT_LABEL = "TestRunner";
public static final String COMPONENT_DESCRIPTION = "This is the description for the test runner";
@Override
protected List<RoutesBuilder> getRouteBuilders() {
List<RoutesBuilder> routesBuilders = new ArrayList<RoutesBuilder>();
routesBuilders.add(new TestRoute());
return routesBuilders;
}
@Override
protected void setupCamelContext(BundleContext bundleContext, String camelContextId)throws Exception{
super.setupCamelContext(bundleContext, camelContextId);
// Add Active MQ connection factory
ActiveMQConnectionFactory amqConnectionFactory = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("tcp://c3m-activemq:61616");
amqConnectionFactory.setUserName("admin");
amqConnectionFactory.setPassword("admin");
// Create Pooled Connection Factory
PooledConnectionFactory amqPooledConnectionFactory = new PooledConnectionFactory(amqConnectionFactory);
amqPooledConnectionFactory.setMaxConnections(5);
amqPooledConnectionFactory.setMaximumActiveSessionPerConnection(5);
// Create JMS Configuration
JmsConfiguration consumerJmsConfig = new JmsConfiguration(amqPooledConnectionFactory);
consumerJmsConfig.setConcurrentConsumers(5);
// Create the ActiveMQ Component
ActiveMQComponent activemq = ActiveMQComponent.activeMQComponent();
activemq.setConfiguration(consumerJmsConfig);
// Add activeMQ component to the Camel Context
getContext().addComponent("activemq", activemq);
// Use MDC logging
getContext().setUseMDCLogging(true);
// Use breadcrumb logging
getContext().setUseBreadcrumb(true);
}
}
However, if I add an errorHandler to my routeBuilder then things fail.
Here's the same route with the errorHandler added:
public void configure() throws Exception {
errorHandler(deadLetterChannel("activemq:queue:TEST.DLQ").useOriginalMessage());
from("activemq:queue:TEST.IN")
.routeId("test-route")
.log("Message picked up from IN queue");
}
What happens:
- When installing the bundle on Karaf the following error is given:
2016-12-20 09:49:58,248 | ERROR | nsole user karaf | router | 124 - com.test.router - 1.1.0.SNAPSHOT | [com.test.TestRunner(7)] The activate method has thrown an exception
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot add component as its already previously added: activemq
at org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultCamelContext.addComponent(DefaultCamelContext.java:369)
at com.test.TestRunner.setupCamelContext(TestRunner.java:75)[124:com.test.router:1.1.0.SNAPSHOT]
at org.apache.camel.scr.AbstractCamelRunner.prepare(AbstractCamelRunner.java:90)[72:org.apache.camel.camel-scr:2.16.0]
at org.apache.camel.scr.AbstractCamelRunner.activate(AbstractCamelRunner.java:79)[72:org.apache.camel.camel-scr:2.16.0]
...
And then the Camel route is NOT deployed in Karaf.
I'll proceed with some more troubleshooting, but perhaps someone understand more fully what's going wrong here
A: In your own TestRunner class then only add the component if its not already registered, you can use
if (context.hasComponent("activemq") != null) {
... add component
}
A: In the end I solved the problem with the following hack: If the component already exists, I first remove it and then add it back.
Here's the code:
// If activemq component already exists, remove it
// Note: This is a bit of a hack, but if we keep the one that is there
// Camel throws a security exception.
if (getContext().hasComponent("activemq") != null) {
getContext().removeComponent("activemq");
}
// Create the ActiveMQ Component
ActiveMQComponent activemq = ActiveMQComponent.activeMQComponent();
activemq.setConfiguration(consumerJmsConfig);
getContext().addComponent("activemq", activemq);
Not pretty, but if I don't remove it, and deploy the route, camel gives a security exception, almost as if the existing component "lost" the credentials of the broker.
Thanks for the help Claus!

No Compromises - Just Web Goodness.
If you want something that looks great, has up to 5 pages of info about your product, and helps your customers find you, may we please introduce you to The Halfsie website package. This package includes everything you'll need to come correct. No big whoop.
This package was built with the needs of doctors and plumbers, bakers, and candlestick-makers in mind. It will have plenty of information about you, your product or service, how to contact you - and through its great design it will exhibit your good taste and enhance your brand's value as well. It's a website much like the one you're looking at now, only with not quite so many pages. You can always add more pages yourself any time you like though - WordPress makes that easy.
Timeframe: Depending on what's on our plate, maybe as little as three or four weeks. Contact us for a more specific time estimate please, because what's on our plate varies constantly. The wait to start a web design project seldom exceeds 4 weeks though, meaning the whole project can be done in 7 weeks if you can have everything we need to complete your project promptly.
Our web design portfolio consists of websites we built for a variety of industries, such as Pool Service, Marketing, Automotive, Retail, Manufacturing, and the many other industries that are too many to name them all here.

The old man undresses the toddler quickly. His face is weathered but his gestures are vigorous, as if he is still in the prime of his life. "I am bishop Thjodrek, I am an emissary of the Most High," he calls to a group of horsemen on the riverside. "I baptise this child now to let it go straight to the Eternal Kingdom of God, when it dies." Then he dips the toddler briefly into the cold water, and murmurs prayers while rubbing the howling child dry with a cloth, and putting it under his sweater to warm it with his body.
Thjodrek sits in a big sloop in the middle of the river. He orders the boatman to let the sloop drift with the stream. When the boatman objects, he repeats in a loud voice that he is a bishop, and sent by God himself.
Thjodrek, together with a group of converts, is on his way to a port town to travel from there with a steamer to the Mormon community in America. He grew up in a small farm in Iceland. Later on he went roaming, and ended up in the Mormon community in Utah, United States. Thereupon, he returned to his country of birth to preach the Mormon faith, and take followers with him to the holy community across the ocean.
One of the impoverished people in the sloop is Steina, a young woman, the mother of the toddler. She huddles on one of the benches, in a haze of tears. She looks fearfully toward the horsemen. These are the powerful and brazen Björn Mud and his cronies. Mud had gotten her pregnant, but never wanted to acknowledge the child. He has brought so much shame on her and her family. But, when he heard that she was leaving for America, he had quickly rounded up some friends to take seize 'his' child from her. She knows for sure that Thjodrek would rather drown the just-baptised child than let it fall into the hands of that devil.
Mud sees the sloop drifting with the stream. A few of his mates want to pursue it. But he knows that there are swamps and quicksands. You can't do anything there with horses. Mud raises his right hand and shouts, "Come on, we'll go, there is no need to witness a child murder." Further on the sloop runs against the river bank, and the converts continue their journey.
The Icelandic author Halldór Laxness recounts in his novel Paradise Reclaimed (1960) how a group of poor peasants starts a new life in faraway America.

Russia's Stone Belt: The Urals
Environment Geography Travel
by Margaret Godwin-Jones
A stunning natural resource. Image by ugraland via Wikimedia Commons
The Ural Mountains are sometimes called "Russia's stone belt," and it is perfectly clear why when searching for photos of the region. This fascinating mountain belt stretches for 2,500 miles from the Arctic Ocean to the deserts of Kazakhstan and runs through nine Russian regions.
In addition, it divides Europe and Asia, the European part of Russia from western Siberia. There are several obelisks and commemorative signs designating this fact, the oldest of which is a wooden pillar near the city of Pervouralsk from 1837. In 2008, a large column with a two-headed eagle on top and a pedestrian walkway were erected to commemorate the area, where you can walk back and forth between Europe and Asia as many times as you want.
In terms of height, the Ural Mountains are not as high as the Caucasus, Altai, and Sayan ranges, but they are older, estimated at about 600 million years old. As you travel further south, the height of the mountains decreases into a plateau. The highest peak is Mount Narodnaya at 1,895 meters (6,217 feet) above sea level, which is located in a very difficult to reach area where the Komi Republic borders the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. The entire mountain range is divided into five geographical zones: the Polar, Subpolar, Northern, Middle, and Southern Urals.
The Ural Mountains became part of Russia during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Beginning in the eighteenth century, metallurgy and mining ore and gems became a powerful industry in the middle region of the Urals. The construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway helped the southern region of the Urals develop. The mountain region was originally considered part of Siberia, but about 200 years ago, differences between the mountain region and settled Siberia were deemed so stark that the Ural Mountains was separated into its own region.
A diverse ethnic makeup is characteristic of the Urals. Ethnographers believe that there were three waves of immigration to this region: Old Believers, who fled to the area in the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries, peasants and farmers from the European part of Russia, who were transferred to work in factories, and Ukrainians in the nineteenth century who were attracted to the region by work opportunities.
There are several superstitions and beliefs associated with certain mountains in the Urals. Of course, there are the typical bigfoot and UFO sightings, but there are also areas believed to be "places of power" that operate based on sacrifice. In the olden days, this meant a blood sacrifice, but now leaving a ribbon or small token is acceptable.
Mount Iremel is one of these such places of power, proven by the name, which comes from Turkish and means "a place that gives a person strength." There is a village at the top of the mountain named Tyulyuk, which translates as "desire." Thus, there is a legend that your most important dreams will come true if you make sacrifices to the mountain. So, why not take a trip out to this gorgeous natural wonder and make your dreams come true!

Alexander Grin
Alexander Grin (1880-1932) had a short life filled with misfortune. His literary output has never been thought to be "classic" but it is entertaining and has enjoyed a recent resurgence of popularity.
Crossing Siberia
Matt Traver decided to walk across Siberia and create a documentary film in the process. His first leg didn't go very smoothly.
Perm: Gateway to Eurasia
In this, the first of a six part series where we trek east across Siberia, William Brumfield gives us a tour of Europe's Easternmost Town: Perm. Also includes a long sidebar on Khokhlovka.
Cycling Across Russia
Two young Americans decide to ride across the breadth of Eurasia, and spent 162 days traversing 6000 miles of Russian roads (and non-roads). They survived. And they brought back this tale.
Where East Becomes West
Last year, we sent St. Petersburg writer Ilya Stogoff to the opposite end of Russia in the dead of winter. It did not improve his mood. But he did have some interesting experiences. This, his first of four installments on his travels throughout Russia's Far East, is a fun read.
Woe from Wit
One of the most famous works of Russian literature, the four-act comedy in verse Woe from Wit skewers staid, nineteenth century Russian society, and it positively teems with "winged phrases" that are essential colloquialisms for students of Russian and Russian culture.

The excellent financial history of this store has earned a pre-approval for a SBA guaranteed loan.
Under the same ownership since inception, this consistently profitable franchisee is among the Top 5 annually awarded by the franchisor. The owner and staff, who are all long-term employees, produce an efficient and effective operation that takes the time to be congenial and instructive to over 2,500 distinct customers. Products range from the basics to the high-tech, costing from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. Many items are repetitive purchases so customers come in often. The very profitable spring season is coming so now is the time for a new owner to prosper from it!
Since opening in 1996, this retail store has flourished in its niche, continuously profitable and award winning among its peers. The owner had no prior experience in this product niche nor even in the retail trade before opening this franchise location.
Several retailers carry some of the same products sold here but no other store combines such a deep product selection tailored for the season with knowledgeable employees within easy access of the upscale customer base. It is easy for customers to differentiate this store from competitors.
Slightly expanded store hours offer an opportunity for increased sales. Remodeling the existing storage area into retail space would also increase sales. A second, third, fourth or even more stores is a distinct possibility because of the success of this unit and the low number of existing franchisees in this upscale region. A totally untapped revenue stream is add-on services to go with the products being sold.
This franchisee is located in one of North Carolina's favorite places to live since opening in 1996. Customers have easy access to both the store and parking. The area is fully populated by a wide range of traffic building retailers. The store itself provides an excellent retail display area along with a private office and storage space.

Question of the week: How many blogs do you follow? I follow 165 blogs. I feel that 165 is a pretty good number (some people follow hundreds, which I don't think I could handle), because I still can manage to read and/or skim most posts unless I am away on vacation or away for the weekend. I follow a variety of blogs. Mostly they are YA book blogs, but there are a lot of historical fiction blogs, Jane Austen blogs, as well as teacher blogs that I follow.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and be sure to check out my End of Summer Giveaway for a chance to win Rules of Attraction, signed Forget-Her-Nots swag, and Shadow Hills swag. Have a great weekend and let me know if you are going to Bring YA To PA this weekend. I'll be there!
Hopping by. Happy Friday. Following you!
I follow about the same number of blogs - I agree with you, it's a manageable number. I can't read all the posts but I can skim them and quickly find ones I want to read.
Hi, dropping by through the hop. I love the design of your blog it's so bright and colorful!
Hey Stopping over from The Hop!
Happy hopping. That is a great number to be around. This hop has my reader continuously growing tough. I'm an old follower.
It was great to meet you too! Though we got kind of lost on the way home... But we found our way!

Elon Musk and SpaceX Want to Help You Get Drunk on Mars
Posted by Dan Casey on December 5, 2017
"To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems." Homer Simpson's comedic toast at the end of "Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment" was a perfect button to a nearly perfect episode of The Simpsons, but it turns out it's also a driving factor in the colonization of Mars. By now, it's no small secret that Elon Musk wants mankind to build a civilization on the red planet as early as 2022, but he wants to make sure you're able to crack open a cold one with the boys while you're there. If Budweiser and SpaceX have their way, you could be gripping and sipping on some ice cold beer as early as 2024. That's shorter than the wait to get a drink at most bars in Los Angeles!
Budweiser wants to win the only case race that matters: to become the first beer in space. And they're making good on that declaration by sending barley into space as part of a supply mission to the International Space Station. The barley will remain on board the ISS for approximately a month before returning to our pale blue dot where it will be analyzed by Budweiser's scientists, who are seeking answers on how zero gravity affects plant growth and would impact eventual beer production outside of Earth's atmosphere. To get their barley to space, they partnered with SpaceX and transported the seedlings on a cargo supply mission that launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on December 4.
It's important to note that Budweiser won't be the first booze in space period, though. In 2011, Scottish whisky distiller Ardberg sent some of their finest swill to the ISS, and when it returned to Earth they discovered that its time in orbit altered the ratios and chemical composition in the whisky, causing it to have an aftertaste of "antiseptic lozenges" and "rubbery smoke." Hopefully by testing the effects of zero gravity on beer's core ingredients before it's turned into a sweet brewdog will help prevent you from making a face like Kuato in Total Recall after you sip on a tall glass of Bud Mars.
But that's not all on today's episode of Muskwatch! Your intrepid hosts Kyle Hill and Dan Casey will be delving into a wild Bitcoin theory, Elon Musk's fears about the dangers of AI development, and much more!
Muskwatch airs on Nerdist.com and YouTube every Tuesday, but you can hack the planet and watch it two full days earlier on Sunday if you're an Alpha subscriber. Find out how you can get 30 days free (and be 48 hours smarter than your dumb friends) right here.

"Wi-Fi is going to get cheaper and easier to deploy," said Schmidt of NYCWireless. "As people encounter these networks increasingly for free, they are going to expect them for free–as a facility service, just like AC, heating or water."
"We needed it to provide what the customers were telling us they wanted — they wanted wireless," says Axel Suray, general manager at the hotel.
The total number of enterprise mobile Internet users will grow more than 18% in the next five years. "The greatest percentage of growth will take place in Latin America," Chamberlain continued. "Businesses today are the predominant subscribers to mobile voice services and they will lead the adoption of wireless Internet as well."

Would Boards be Boring? Never!
So I started thinking and praying, deeply–to remain a solvent artist. What came to me were several aspects in terms of what is commercially called "product." I didn't see outsourcing my work to China. But I did see doing something that was enjoyable and definitely "hands-on," with brushes and palette knife, scumbling and scraping, subtle yet stunning. Something that could be propped on a shelf, a desk, or hung in a kitchen… or maybe even on top of a wedding cake! I will add some photos ( some serious, and some just for fun) to suggest how these new board paintings can be enjoyed singly, grouped together, or appear in unexpected places. Traditional framing also works, on a neutral background like burlap.
I have always been in love with old wood and metal objects that tell "stories." That's why I love my barn studio in Gouldsboro with bits of hay still stuck between the weathered Maine boards. Those poles made of spindly trees at one end where hides were dried and tanned(?)…the square headed nails, etc . surround me with "stories." And of course driftwood even sounds romantic. You can hold a piece of driftwood, and feel the smoothness of surf sanding, of sun bleaching to white and gray.
There, that's it! Forget canvas, and imported water color paper. Let's work with wood! More easily said than done. If you were to observe what I do before I paint by new shim and board paintings, you would witness a theatrical makeover of boards contractors might use for unseen support. A hand saw, power sander, varnish and paint is the magic of transformation. The story may be artificial, but the material rings true.
The other caveat was that these shims and boards had to be portable and fit into large purses, tote bags, and such. Portable art. And no glass to break, no canvas to tear, no paper to fade in sunlight. And, Oh Yes, art to hold in your hand and feel the grain you sea (I mean, see…sorry). As a kid, I loved making (as Leonardo did in his notebooks) correlations of the patterns and movement of clouds, water, wind, and their effects on beaches, rocks, and landscapes. Infinite variations and never boring. Can you even think of any two sunsets exactly alike? That's why I like being on the edge of the land at the tidal world of my Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of Maine at Schoodic/Acadia. I immerse myself in both. For decades the Gulf of Mexico has seen me bobbing around while watching the clouds (I float like a cork for some reason), and ending up in the Jacuzzi-like motion of the gentle surf in 80 to 90 degree salt water. I don't even wash off the salt until the next morning. That's being in love with that crystalline sun tinted green water… I can't get enough. In Maine it's different, in that I become a rock (my name is petros in Greek, after all); I don't go in the water like I used to, diving off the rocks in Ogunquit on the Marginal way to show off to the tourists. That was a long, long time ago, before I left the northeast for southern California. The rocks in Maine are like those in Hawaii…from the molten depths of the earth; the ribs of what rises from the sea. But Maine rocks are like large gems somehow, with colors and infinite patterns. As soon as I touch the brush to the wood, the seascapes come to life rapidly, as if each moment I spent in each place was seconds ago. Only in this way can I access the many years of loving the sea and sky…endless and forever inspiring.
Well, that's what goes into the art on board, for buyers on a budget (or not, I'm not an elitest) to hold like a seashell to listen/hear/see…and it is the ripple of love reaching out from the artist to share with a world in need of spiritual nourishment and comfort. There's no way that's boring!
They will be available online on our site (gallery) under fine art seascapes, and at the barn studio in the summer and fall, 1007 West Bay Road, Gouldsboro Maine 04607 ( please call 813.720.6868 or 813,220.5666 for hours).

After I was healed from terminal breast cancer, I had something like post traumatic stress disorder. I felt like I had been through a war, and because I was on the winning side, I was supposed to just rejoice and get over it. I'll never know if this was real or perceived, but it affected my speech, heart, and focus.
Now I think most things like that are actually my usurping the Holy Spirit. He provides us with experiences that can and should be shared. It's the enemy who wants to shut us up, to hide the glory the Lord deserves. And to create fear in speaking aloud, which ultimately causes us (or me, at least) to analyze many things within ourselves, without the input of wise counsel. Now that I've started speaking more of these issues aloud, I hear how stupid they sound. Maybe that's one reason I was led to write all this out.
So, at the start of this journey through redemption, we have a book by that name. The Lord had already been doing a work in me to get me excited about caring for really broken people. I've met a lot of them who are dealing with cancer, but there are other problems out there, too. I met a young woman who was on a great trajectory after years of drug use and living on the streets. She went into a great treatment facility, got clean and saved, and was living for the Lord. When I spoke to her, this stuff was clearly real. It wasn't just self-control that was helping her keep it together. She was free!
Somehow this girl didn't end up with the external support that might have been helpful for the transition between the safe and awesome treatment facility to the dangerous and tempting real world. Within months Yaacov and I watched as she fell back to her old ways. It was disheartening for her, for her family, and for the kingdom of God, and as a behavior analyst, and recovering "fixer", I obviously wanted to save the world with a transition plan for the treatment facility to use!
But that wasn't the Lord's plan or the right thing to do. His perfect plan was so much BETTER! Around that time led me to a ministry called Redemption Groups, which our church was about to start training leaders for. I thought the ministry was intended for people like that girl I described, who need more help than the church is currently set up to provide. But it turns out these groups are much more than that. They are one way He leads us all into a deeper communion with Him. And we can't get closer to Him without recognizing the sin and lies that we are steeped in, building a bigger divide between us.
I talk about this ministry and about the book a lot because the Lord used both to speak to me and to change the entire trajectory of my life. He redeemed me from my own sin with His Word (for the billionth time), through this journey. But there's no magic in the book or the techniques used in the group. They are led by the Holy Spirit, and that is where the true power is. For example, He brought that girl who I mentioned back to Him, and she didn't even go through a Redemption Group. But I am so grateful for the way He has helped me see Him, and to see me, through it all.
So, in this "Redemption" trail on unceasinglove.com, I'm going to journal the growth, changes, and struggles I'm learning through being a leader and being a participant with this ministry. It doesn't have much to directly do with cancer, which might be why people are reading in the first place, but it has to do with real issues that are applied to all aspects of our lives. He's using it to make me a better person, better mother, better servant, primarily because it's making me get real with the truth about who I am, in all my filthy hypocrisy. So, I'll share the details because we're all going to either heaven or hell, and either way it all relates to the truth about God. To Him be the glory forever! I don't want to fight for privacy or hope to blend into a wall when it comes to my problems. I want to grow and to share the cool ways the Holy Spirit and Word of God are making that happen.

There is nothing like a fresh, ripe local peach. It's dessert unto itself but with a little ricotta, cinnamon, nuts and honey, you have a simple summer delight fancy enough for a dinner party, easy enough for any night of the week.
Split a couple of peaches, take out the pit, and grill them. Then once they soften, turn them cut side up and scoop on a mix of ricotta, cinnamon and honey. Add some crunch with nuts on top and maybe an extra drizzle of local honey for good measure. It tastes good and looks pretty too. And, sure, you can serve this dessert with a knife and fork, but I say just pick up your half and eat it with your hands, which just seems like the natural thing to do at a casual summer meal.
In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta, cinnamon and two teaspoons of honey. Set aside.
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Brush coconut oil on the cut side of each half. Place face down on the grill over medium-high heat. Grill 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove from heat. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture into each peach half.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon chopped pecans over the top of each half.

Ecosystm Snapshot: Singapore & New Zealand Strengthen Ties in Cybersecurity and Digital Technology
Author: Team Ecosystm | Posted: 24-May-19
On 17 May 2019, the New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and the Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong signed a formal arrangement, to step up collaboration in the areas of trade, defence, cybersecurity, science and technology, and arts and culture.
To strengthen cybersecurity, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) and the National Cyber Policy Office (NCPO) of New Zealand inked an agreement on information sharing, cybersecurity and capacity building in the region. A new Cyber Security Arrangement will support greater information exchange, including through an annual cybersecurity dialogue between the two countries. The aim of the agreement is to increase information exchange, prevent incidents and threats and follow best practices on data, infrastructure, and systems protection.
Commenting on the announcement Ecosystm Principal Advisor, New Zealand-based Jannat Maqbool, said, "Engaging internationally on cybersecurity research and initiatives is fundamental given the trans-boundary nature of the cyberspace. As both nations become more digitised and connected, a collaboration will enable each to leverage strengths in key areas to develop a multi-pronged approach to cybersecurity. Both countries will also be in a better position to weigh in on the development of rules-based international order for cyberspace."
Echoing these comments, Ecosystm Board Advisor, and former Global Head, Digital Development Unit at the World Bank, Randeep Sudan explains how cybersecurity is critical to the growth and development of the digital economy. "Mitigating cyber risks will require coordinated action by multiple stakeholders, including governments, the private sector, academia, and non-governmental organisations," Sudan says. These bilateral and multilateral G2G partnerships are, therefore, an essential piece in tackling cyber threats. "Given that Singapore and New Zealand are leading players in cyberspace, a G2G collaboration between them will offer learnings of immense value to other governments," Sudan continues.
Due to Ecosystm's own close ties with New Zealand, and considering that we are headquartered in Singapore, we are ourselves actively engaged in promoting the dialogue between New Zealand and Singapore. Ecosystm CEO Amit Gupta and Chief Operating Officer, Ullrich Loeffler are in New Zealand this week to participate in Techweek New Zealand (an annual initiative to promote and build awareness for new technologies and innovation in New Zealand) to meet key stakeholders and attend industry events.
Commenting on the sidelines of Techweek, Amit Gupta gave his thoughts on the agreement, "Both New Zealand and Singapore are in hyper-innovation mode at the moment. With the advent of Blockchain and AI especially spurring the growth of the Fintech ecosystem in New Zealand, there is strong potential gains in engaging with the already thriving Singapore Fintech ecosystem."
New Zealand and Singapore are not only model free markets, but also have been key proponents of data privacy over the years, an area that requires a serious look, as we start to apply new emerging technologies such as AI. "There is an opportunity for these two forward-looking nations to take it a step further to build an actionable Data Privacy Corridor to streamline the Fintech collaboration between them," Gupta added. "With New Zealand being an export economy and Singapore, a strong services economy, this would enable a much more seamless collaboration between these two countries."
The collaboration does not end at cybersecurity and Fintech. As part of the partnership, a joint work programme is being negotiated, starting with two flagship collaborations – an advanced data science research platform to build New Zealand's data science capability; and a food and nutrition cooperative science programme with a focus on 'future foods'. Both countries have different areas of expertise, and collaborative measures such as these, give them an opportunity to share best practices that will prove mutually beneficial.

Walk down Rijinstraat in Arnhem and you'll see the same shops as any other European High Street; H&M, Zara, Forever 21 etcetera etcetera (that's not a shop), but if you keep going past the trendy fashion names you'll see a place named MakerPoint. With a shop front that fits right in with its illustriously stylish neighbours, this is 3D Printing High Street style.
If it wasn't for the Ultimaker 2 whirring away in the window it may surprise the untrained eye that the products as you enter the shop have anything to do with 3D printing. Professionally printed products from the likes of Dyvsign, Julian Sing, Freshfiber and MakieLab are laid out enticingly for those interested in 3D printed merchandise but not necessarily 3D printing in of itself.
Sander Smit, founder of MakerPoint, informed us he felt that having professionally printed products were important in order for people to understand what they could be getting by using professional services as opposed to the 3D printers available in the back of this retail outlet. After all he should know having ran 3D printing bureau, 3D Worknet, for over three years, who supply the manufacturing for some of those very products mentioned above.
We met Sander at the store during a Maker Meeting hosting jointly by MakerPoint and fellow Dutch 3D printing evangelists 3D Hubs. He welcomed us into his store with open arms without even knowing we were press, we weren't there doing some undercover work rather a last minute detour during a recent circuit of the Belgium and Netherlands.
Such is the sense of community that embodies the Maker movement in the Netherlands, everybody at the meeting was happy to talk more about their latest 3D printing techniques; what works, what doesn't, what hacks they've built, what adjustments they've made to their machine and just about any other aspect that could help you along your 3D printing way.
The sense of community makes MakerPoint stand out from the crowd, sure you can walk into an electrical retailer these days and pick up a 3D printer from a 17-year-old sales assistant who is after a spot of commission but why not seek out a genuine expert who cares and best of all, knows? Sander and co. are not going to sell you a printer without understanding your needs, they aren't going to sell you the printer they have most of in stock, they'll sell you the one that best suits your needs.
But MakerPoint aren't just about Ultimakers, there's MakerBots, Cubes, the 3D Builder –another Dutch 3D printer, and a whole host of Dutch filaments from the like of Innofil3D and Colorfabb as well as intriguingly MakerPoint's own brand filament of which there is scope for strong, flexible filament.
Just 12 miles away from MakerPoint lies the German border and while their neighbours are thriving in the industrial 3D printing realm, this retail store proves the consumer access to 3D printing is very much at home in the land of windmills and tulips.

Israel-based startups have brought over $600 million in funding through initial coin offerings (ICOs) in the three quarters of this year, according to an industry report by crypto analytics firm.
From the last year, cryptocurrency research and analytics firm One Alpha observed blockchain and initial coin offering projects, goals to give a summary on ICO and blockchain ecosystem, with a specific focus on Israel.
One of Alpha's research counted 140 blockchain-related companies in Israel, have received $1.3 billion worth in investments, when joint with other investments. Reportedly over 88% of the funds and 60% of companies are related to Initial coin offerings.
The $600 million signifies a rise above 2017's numbers, in line with the overall jump in ICO growth have seen in 2018. The largest ICO in 2018 include TaTaTu ($575 million), EOS ($4.2 billion), Dragon ($420 million), Telegram ($1.7 billion), and tZero ($328 million).
According to the previous report, 2018 saw Israeli regulators make more clearly their places on matters associated to crypto in the blockchain. Israel has been named "The Startup Nation," as Israeli start-ups increased more than $5 billion in 2017. Reportedly, Israel has one of the uppermost percentages of tech-startups.
Feldman commented that Israel isn't involved in being too crypto-friendly, compared to jurisdictions. He asserted that Israel would uplift local businesses.

My physical pain has increased a great deal recently. I cannot stand up for more than a few minutes without severe pain from my hips down my legs, both of them. Feeding the dogs has become very difficult because I have to be on my feet for longer than five minutes and by the time I am on to the last two the base of my spine has started to wobble like jelly it is the most peculiar feeling.
The result of this is that I am going to be put on the maximum dose of gabapentin which is for neuropathy and epilepsy although in my case it's for the neuropathy. I'm also to be given 10 mg tablets of morphine which I've only just been taken off to go onto the pink 20 mg tablets and my doctor has told me to take an extra 10 when I am feeding the dogs which means I am going to have to take them an hour before an time it properly. Sometimes I don't think doctors quite get it. I am just going to have to feed the dogs as normal and hope I get to the last two before I fall.
Yes, I have been falling much more. Only once outside when I went all the way down. This was at the swimming pool. Other times I am with John or talking to someone in Tesco and they grab me when they see part to wobble. People are very kind.
I have been on 200 mg of sertraline for almost 2 weeks now and it has definitely made all the difference. I'm not sure that I'm quite back to Colin yet but I'm close. 200 mg is the highest one can go with this drug so if it doesn't do the job completely something else will have to be added. I just hope it doesn't need it. Time will tell. I can't believe though how much I have changed since I've been taking the medication.
I did not believe in depression as an illness before. A lot of the people I knew who were on antidepressants were still flocking depressed or I believe they were just a unhappy or liked to my moan. I thought that antidepressant drugs were a calm designed to make the drug companies billions in profit.
I was absolutely completely wrong. I had never experienced depression until now and it has taught me a great deal. that there is absolutely nothing I could do about it apart from take the medication. It was nothing that I did, it was nothing that happened to me, all the things that did happen to me this year yes caused me to feel grief which is completely different.
With the depression all I wanted to do was die. I lost interest in everything my talents, watching TV, and I could only do the basics for the dogs. I could see absolutely no point to living and I convinced myself that John would be better off without me.
On the day that I decided I was going to take the mixture of morphine and sleeping pills that would work painlessly by stopping my lungs breathing while I was asleep I received an email from my friend Jane and the cause of the time difference between arrived as I was basically counting out the pills. Whilst I have not read any me emails for a while I read hers and she said something in it that I understood and made sense to me.
She told me that depression has a mind of its own and no matter how much I wouldn't do it because it would hurt John and my friends depression didn't care and depression would make me do things I wouldn't normally do and would make me very easily over the top upset by something somebody said and also one comes to believe that no one truly likes m let alone love me. all I was to John was a mill around his neck. I really believed all these things and more.

I was in the mood to make a large batch of cards. I love this stencil by Bo Bunny and love the ease of blending with Distress Oxides, so it seems like a perfect mix!
I did two versions of butterfly backgrounds- the first version is Faded Jeans, Broken China, and Cracked Pistachio.
I really love how these turned out!

Q: Defining the start and end point of a loop in bash I have a directory with folders sequentially numbered 1-1000, however I want to perform an action for some of the folders in this directory. i.e folders 1-50. How do I define the start and end point of the loop?
So far I have a script along these lines:
a=1
b=1
for i in ~/PATH/*/ ;do
(cd $i/ && action)
echo "completed"
a=`expr $a + $b`
echo "Next Folder"
done
I can define the start of the loop by changing a= but I am not sure how to define the end to the loop? As it stands, it will keep going through all the folders in that directory. Thanks :)
A: Using the command seq to generate the list over which to iterate:
for nn in $(seq 1 50) ; do
(cd someprefix/$nn && action)
done
Or, if your shell supports brace expansion:
for nn in {1..50} ; do
(cd someprefix/$nn && action)
done
A: Bash allows for loops that looks like the standard C for-loop:
for (( i = 1; i <= 50; ++i )); do
( cd $i && action )
done
Change cd $i to cd "$HOME/PATH/$i" or whatever the path is to your directories.
A: The break command allows you to break out of a loop.
So you would do something like this, after setting a
if [ $a -gt 50 ]
then
break
fi
A: #!/bin/bash
a=1
b=1
cd ~/PATH/
for i in $(ls -v) ;do
(cd $i/ && action) && echo "completed" || echo "error"
a=$((a+b)); [ "$a" -gt 50 ] && break
echo "Next Folder"
done
A: You can even do a while loop instead:
a=1
while [ $a -le 50 ]; do
(cd $a/ && action)
a=$((a+1))
done
Or, alternatively:
a=1
while (( ++a<=50 ));do
(cd $a/ && action)
done

I look after two stations and 2 laptops in my household.
Each have Secunia installed. Recently one of the four does not show the bar charts. What is the cause and what is the solution?
I tried various ways but to no avail.
If by the bar charts, you mean the week by week representation of the Secunia score (?): Adobe Flash for Internet Explorer needs be installed. Usually, if they aren't showing, Secunia prompts to install.........if you aren't seeing that....further investigation perhaps.
The PSI uses the flash plugin for Internet Explorer to display graphics. Having this installed in a requirement to see the charts, but not to use the PSI.
Last edited on 15th Feb, 2010 09:06 PSI graphics require that Flash player is installed on IE.
When there are no graphics, there is usually a message requiring that Flash be installed for IE, in their place.
If you have recently downloaded the latest version, you need to uninstall the old version, using Adobe uninstall Flash, first.
Re-boot and re-scan PSI to ensure nothing re. flash remains.
I hope this may solve your flash issue.
EDIT: The uninstall/re-install solution may not be required in your case. I had also read another thread re. Flash and had my wires crossed. This solution better serves this other thread. A simple install for IE should suffice for you.
I also have the same problem of Adobe Flash for Internet Explorer needs be installed. Usually, if they aren't showing. I have used flash uninstaller, reloaded the latest flash and still the same problem. I have another laptop which is showing the bars OK, but no matter how many times I uninstall and reload flash (With flash saying loaded ok in IE) It still asks IE needs to be installed? Tried every thing apart from doing a clean install of Vista on C Drive??? Any body else have same problem with no fix yet??
You have carried out the correct procedure with uninstall old flash and install new version.
But have you re-booted and re-scanned PSI after installing latest flash on IE?
PSI will only recognise flash for its graphis, after you have.
This may be all thats needed. If not, your problem will require more investigation, and as much additional information as you can give.
Yes have tried everything including Reg Edit to clear Flash for all location's. Its no wonder Steve Jobs wont allow flash in Iphones/Pods, as he say's they are a lazy bunch!!!! Well not bothered, as at least PSI is notifying of updated when available.
If it doesn't solve your problem , it does not seem to cause other problems .
I don't remember any solution being reported .
It may be a "have to live with" thing for now - it's really eye candy to me - as long as PSI does it's main job correctly.
You could always advise Emil R.P. at support@secunia.com of the "bug" still existing .

Heritage Resorts - Louis Oosthuizen heads into the weekend of the Mauritius Open only three shots off the lead and still looking for the really low round he believes has eluded him up until now on the Heritage Golf Club course.
The 2010 Open champion signed for a 68 on Friday, lifting him to seven-under-par and chasing the 10-under-par lead of India's Arjun Atwal.
The 44-year-old Atwal followed up his course record 62 in the first round with a 70.
Atwal leads by a single stroke over South Africans Dylan Frittelli and Louis de Jager and England's Laurie Canter.
But it's Oosthuizen they'll all be keeping an eye on as the world No 22 has managed to keep himself well in contention despite not yet feeling settled on the greens.
"I'm happy to be three behind with the way I've been playing. There's a lot of golf left on the weekend. There are definitely low numbers out there if you can roll the ball well. Today I just seemed to not be able to see the lines as well. I had a lot of opportunities and didn't make any," he said.
He remains as relaxed as ever about his chances of a win on debut in this tri-sanctioned tournament between the Sunshine, European and Asian Tours.
"I'm having a great time with the family. Everyone is here. We'll go to the pool now, relax a bit, and tomorrow off we go again," he said after his round.
Further down the leaderboard, Thailand's Suttijet Kooratanapisan equaled Atwal's course record with his own 62 on Friday, which saw him reach the halfway stage of the tournament at four-under-par.

Found this sad little table destined for doom in a pile of trash near my house on a Thursday morning trash stalking adventure.
Nothing a little cleaning, sanding, painting and more sanding couldn't cure.
The big burned spot was tricky, but the dent it left adds character.
I had a cute Anthropologie knob perfect for the drawer.
It was an easy, breezy and fun little project. We love this little table. My daughter is currently hogging it in her room. My other daughter wants it for her new apartment. Would love to find another and make a match for it and use it in my coastal - always-a-work-in-progress - living room decor.
Sadly, I mixed the paint myself and I'm not sure which of the numerous similar colors I have were used. Not sure I could make another one the same, but then, maybe that doesn't matter.
Even if I never find a companion piece, there'll always be something new in the next trash pile to make over.
I wonder what will show up next!
Find me at Nifty Thrifty Sunday this weekend.
That looks great! I love the color choice.
Thanks, Sherry. I'm glad you stopped by!
well, hello, newest follower and painter of the lovely table! i'd be fighting for it, too, if i was one of your daughters!
thanks for the lovely comments on my blog. yes, i hunted you down b/c you have "no-reply blogger" on your comments. get to work on fixing that, friend, or you're not going to get many replies!!
Uh oh, how did I get no reply blogger on my comments?! I'd better go check my settings. Thanks so much for hunting me down and stopping by to let me know, or who knows how long that would have gone on! I appreciate seeing you here and your kind words!
Loved your blog. Thanks for dropping by. Hope you'll come again!

Another Autumn Budget deferred
by Greystone
Posted On : 2020-10-08
After heavy hinting from the Treasury for some weeks, the expected Autumn Budget has been pushed into spring 2021, with tax rises on the cards.
Since the March Budget and through to August, the expectation was that the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, would introduce his second Budget this autumn. Such timing would have restored the cycle of a Spring Statement followed by an Autumn Budget after it broke down last year in the lead up of the general election.
With intense speculation around tax rises to pay for the raft of Covid-19 support measures, the first serious clue to a possible Autumn Budget delay emerged on 8 September, when the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) slipped out a statement about its review of capital gains tax (CGT), which had been commissioned by the Chancellor in July. The statement announced the response deadline on the technical part of the OTS consultation would be deferred by four weeks, to 9 November. This was a surprising move as the OTS CGT report was expected to feed into the Autumn Budget.
Soon after, the Chancellor himself issued a brief written statement saying he had asked the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) to prepare an economic and fiscal forecast 'to be published in mid-to-late November'. The vagueness surrounding the timing was evident, as the OBR report is produced alongside the Budget and incorporates costings for Budget measures.
What had started to look inevitable was confirmed on 24 September when the Treasury cancelled the Autumn Budget. The Chancellor will still have a set piece event towards the end of the year; not only is there the OBR report to present, but Mr Sunak must also publish a Spending Review. The latter was also a victim of the general election and ought to have been produced a year ago to cover the three years from April 2020. Instead, the then Chancellor published a one-year Spending Round. Given the pandemic uncertainties, it is likely that Mr Sunak will take a similar short-term view, rather than introduce a multi-year plan.
The postponement of the Autumn Budget does not mean the spectre of tax increases has also evaporated. The level of government borrowing (£174 billion in the first five months of 2020/21) makes tax rises virtually inevitable. However, the Chancellor has afforded you more time to plan and take action in areas such as CGT and pension contributions.

THIS DATE IN HISTORY: March 19
3/19/2009 04:17:00 PM Boxing, Movies, This Date in History No comments
Selective cut and pasted from wiki:
1954 - Joey Giardello knocks out Willie Tory in round seven at Madison Square Garden in the first televised prize boxing fight shown in color.
1954 - Willie Mosconi sets the world record by running 526 consecutive balls without a miss during a straight pool exhibition at East High Billiard Club in Springfield, Ohio. The record still stands today.
Days of my misspent youth... in the poolhalls shooting pool... practicing my technique. Willie was da man! I was never any good. My best run was only 8 balls :-( LOL
1995 - Michael Jordan comes out of "retirement" from the NBA and plays the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis. He wore jersey number 45 because his number 23 was retired by the Chicago Bulls. The game paved the way for another "3-peat" by the Bulls. He scored 19 points in the game.
1848 - Wyatt Earp, American policeman and gunfighter (d. Jan. 13, 1929)
1928 - Patrick McGoohan, American-born actor (d. Jan. 13, 2009)
THE PRISONER tv show, on so many different levels, was way ahead of its time. A true classic of the medium. The picture is from the tv show which preceded THE PRISONER, called DANGER MAN (aka SECRET AGENT). McGoohan always stressed that John Drake aka Danger Man/Secret Agent used his brains over his brawn. That didn't prevent him from resorting to fisticuffs for self-defense.
1936 - Ursula Andress, Swiss actress
Anyone who has watched Sean Connery as James Bond in DR. NO, should recognize Ursula Andress.
1952 - Harvey Weinstein, American film producer
He is best known for his 26-year career as co-founder of Miramax Films. Of the Miramax films, these come to mind: Pulp Fiction, From Dusk 'Til Dawn, Jackie Brown, Gangs of New York, Kill Bill, 2 Hong Kong movies released by Miramax - Hero and Infernal Affairs), No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, and a whole bunch of other modern and cult classics.
1955 - Bruce Willis, American actor
A classic icon of the 1980's, John McClane of the DIE HARD movies... Yippeekaiyay, motherf*cker! I also remember him as David Addison on tv's MOONLIGHTING. Happy Birthday Bruce Willis!
1955 - Simon Yam, Hong Kong actor
You may recall his role in the Hollywood movie, TOMB RAIDER, with Angelina Jolie. Fans of cult Hong Kong movies may remember him as Judge in Ringo Lam's FULL CONTACT starring Chow Yun-fat. Or as the policeman in Clarence Fok's NAKED KILLER with Yau Chingmy aka Yau Suk-ching. Sun Yat Fai Lok Simon Yam!
1964 - Yoko Kanno, Japanese composer
One of my favorite all-time jazz bebop songs is composed by Kanno called "Tank!" which is the opening theme song of the anime series COWBOY BEBOP. Simply awesome! Otanjou-bi Omedetou Gozaimasu Yoko Kanno!
1943 - Frank Nitti, American gangster (b. 1883)
One of Al Capone's top guys.
1950 - Edgar Rice Burroughs, American author (b. 1875)
Creator of Tarzan and John Carter of Mars... 'nuf said.
2005 - John De Lorean, American automobile engineer (b. 1925)
Growing up during the 1980's, who doesn't know Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly in the BACK TO THE FUTURE films and his De Lorean car?
2008 - Sir Arthur C. Clarke, English science fiction author and inventor (b. 1917)

Whilst there are a lot of services that you can use for organizing your online activities most are paid and/or monthly subscriptions. I made it my mission this month to find some really useful WordPress plugins that you can use that won't break the bank or are free. Now, although I could have written about more plugins a lot were disregarded because they hadn't been updated and/or users had reported problems with them. If I've missed your fave plugin please let me know in the comments below – but only if it is working and up to date.
If you are working as a freelancer one of the first things you need to do is get your resume done. People need to see what skills you have, what work you have done and how you can help them. This plugin has an easy to use interface making it fast for you to quickly add your experience, education and contact details. The output results in an easy to read traditional "resume" that will no doubt impress prospects.
At the time of writing, this plugin is mainly aimed at WordPress web developers, theme creators and website builders. However, the plugin developer does have plans to make this portfolio plugin more generic to suit other freelancers like graphic designers. The plugin has a simple to use interface that enables you to add a project you have worked on, accompanied by other details like client name, date of completion etc. You can then add an image of your completed project that will be added to your portfolio. This is a great way to add to your resume page so that people can immediately see examples of your work.
Nothing sells your services better than social proof. All prospective buyers love to see reviews of your product or services from other people. This is why a testimonial or review style plugin is a "must have" plugin for freelancers in my opinion. This plugin makes it easy for your customers to submit their review straight to your blog for your approval. Having a page full of happy customer reviews can only be good news for you.
Proposals Machine is a plugin and theme that allows you to manage your client proposals using the familiar WordPress interface. Rather than have me explain this great package to you I recently chatted to the developer of the plugin Avani Misra. In the interview below Avani will tell you what the Proposals Machine does, how she uses it herself as a freelancer and how you can use it in your freelancing business.
Once you've got the client you need to manage the project if you don't want an unhappy client. As we all know there a lot of tasks that combine to complete a project. If you are working with a team then you need to make sure that the appropriate member is assigned the right tasks and knows what priority to do the tasks in. A project management plugin will help keep you organized and your team on track to finish projects.
This is a useful Plugin from the WordPress repository that lets you add an icon to indicate whether a page is finished or not. This is really useful when you are building a website and either waiting for content to be inserted in the site or when you haven't finished writing the content. When you are working on a site over a period of time it can save you a lot of time if you don't need to manually check which pages/posts are completed. This plugin is even more useful when a number of people may be working on the same site.
There are a lot of support and help desk solutions available to WordPress users as either php scripts that can be added to your site, monthly online services and plugins. Finding a support desk solution in the form of a plugin that has useful features and is up to date and truly free is more of a challenge however. One that did catch my eye is the Wats Ticketing System. This is a useful plugin if you deal with clients that often need support. If you are offering services like website maintenance, web hosting and SEO (google dance can bring on panic attacks) you'll find this plugin will help you address the needs of your clients easily. This plugin also has some additional features you can unlock by paying a fee. However, if you were considering a paid plugin there are other resources that I would recommend instead.
If you want to take things a step further with your customers and find out what they really think by getting feedback, engaging with your customers and conducting short surveys then you can do all that in the one spot with this plugin. One of the more interesting features of this plugin is that you can do targeted surveys and download the reports. For people that develop products and create themes and plugins for the WordPress community this is gold. It's also a fast and smart way of collecting information about what your clients really want.
If your business involves creating websites for clients then you'll love this plugin. The White Label CMS plugin allows you to customize the admin area of the WordPress dashboard. Not only can you customize the login page with your client's logo but you can brand the dashboard with your business name (or your client's). In addition, you can customize the Menus and hide all those pesky things on the Dashboard that you don't want to overwhelm your client with. Now instead of handing over a generic WordPress site you have a real opportunity to completely customize the back end of WordPress. This will help make you stand out from the crowd of service providers and give your client's a website that they can really call their own.

Former Deputy Minister of Justice Shelton Ranaraja lost his battle to cancer today, 11 August, 2011. He died early today surrounded by his family.
He is survived by his wife, former Mayor of Kandy, Chandra Ranaraja and five daughters.
Ranaraja, an old boy of S. Thomas' College, Mount Lavinia, was a keen sportsman. He has won college colours for boxing, swimming and cricket and latterly concentrated on some golf and lengthy walks around the Kandy Lake.
In 1960, Ranaraja contested the Senkadagala seat in the Kandy District on the SLFP ticket and won by a mere 25 votes. A subsequent election petition and a recount saw Ranaraja's votes increase to 30! His outspokenness and uprightness as a parliamentarian was not conducive to being a 'yes man' in the party and his veto against the press takeover by the government caused his expulsion from the party. Soon after, the government was defeated and Parliament was dissolved.
He gave up politics for a while and concentrated on his legal career.
In 1973 J.R. Jayewardene, the leader of the United National Party, invited Ranaraja to organise Senkadagala on the UNP ticket. He did and won by a majority defeating Anuruddha Ratwatte. He was then appointed Deputy Minister of Justice from 1977.
In 1988, Ranaraja came under fire again for his principles.
He disagreed on the political implications of the Welikada Prison riots and the repercussions of the Northeast conflict.
He resigned from his post as Deputy Minister of Justice and continued with his law career.
Shelton Ranaraja's remains will be laid to rest on Saturday, 13 August at the Mahiyaawa cemetery.

The boundary between spooks like these and the wayob of the Classic period is not always entirely clear. On the royal stelae that is, at five- tun or k'atun celebrations the king wears the heads of important deities and forces of nature for a headdress or a mask, while carrying a sceptre in the form of the lightning deity. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman 1970. Turning to the 'ceramic codex one finds that animal persons are often clothed and acting like persons at court. 87 In the same area, dwarfs, and also hunchbacks, are associated with antediluvial times; they perished in the flood when their stone boats sank. New York: Simon and Schuster. Through annually shifting procession routes, the calendrical model of the four 'Year Bearers' (New Year days) was projected onto the four quarters of the town. Eduard Seler, Die Tierbilder der mexikanischen und der Maya-Handschriften. Unlike the gods of disease and death, spooks (apparitions) and demons have no such legitimacy. 16 Aside from calendrical learning, however, priests had multiple tasks, running from performing life crisis rituals to managing the monthly feast cycle, and held special offices, such as that of oracle ( chilan astrologer, and sacrificer of human beings ( nacom ).

Dr. Druhan has studied with many wonderful teachers over the years. Her first clarinet teacher was Diana Haskell who was with the Savannah Symphony at the time. Diana provided a strong foundation for continued learning and was a great role-model in the critical first years of study.
Mary later moved to Louisiana and studied with Timothy Wright who performed with the Shreveport Symphony. Timothy was a student of the late Robert Marcellus and he provided continuous growth in repertoire and technique.
In college Mary first studied with J.David Harris and then with Steven Cohen both at LSU and both students of Robert Marcellus.
She then studied with Daniel Bonade student, Ronald de Kant at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music before returning to study at LSU with Steve Cohen for the DMA.
