My name is Margarita Chornokondratenko. I am a TV producer at Reuters News Agency. On April 17, together with the Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation, I will run my first real miles. Miles of grace. Miles of life. Miles of hope. Real miles, which – thanks to the raised funds – means equipped mobile clinics can overcome and reach every HIV-positive child who needs help.
I'm Nikolai Kuleba, Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for Children's Rights. I run "Miles of Grace" as I strongly believe – for the sake of children we should use all opportunities and make any possible effort. Children are the main thing in my life and I'm sure their health and safety should be a priority for every Ukrainian and for the whole state.
I'm Nastia Koshman, the journalist of "Abzats" program on the New Channel. In the context of the program our team makes out important social experiments, and on April, 17 I will experiment on myself - I'll run first marathon in my life to help HIV-positive kids. As a part of my job I visited frontline in the ATO zone, had kayak rafting in winter, I've never before run marathons, because running for running did not inspire me.
My name is Ahava, I am presenter at ICTV channel and I am running "Miles of Grace" charitable half marathon together with Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation. I know "Mobile Hospitals" project pretty good, I know how much work is done by doctors in frames of the project and how important it is.
I'm Vasilisa Frolova, TV and radio presenter. On April, 17 I run "Miles of Grace" in a charitable marathon together with Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation. My plan is to raise 20 000 UAH for "Mobile Clinics" project. Each 10000 UAH makes possible to work one team of doctors during one month in one region.
My name is Lilia Podkopayeva, I am World All around Champion and Olympic All Around Champion in artistic gymnastics. I am running "Miles of Grace" in charitable half marathon. As a mother of two and as a person who did a lot of charity, I want to make my own input in supporting project that delivers medical aid to HIV-positive kids in small cities. I hope that my participation in the marathon would help to change live of HIV-positive children and their parents.
I'm Borislav Bereza MP of Ukraine join charitable halfmarathon. I'm fundraising for "Mobile Clinic" project that have been providing access to qualified medical care to HIV-positive children from small towns and villages. Unfortunately, the situation in hospitals is now critical. In many outlying areas pediatricians and specialized professionals are absent. That is why support of projects that allow to provide specific health care and diagnostics is extremely important. This could save thousands of children's lives and state budget.
We are, Sergiy Babak and Roman Romanchuk, pilots of the Sushiya Racing Team participating in mountain racing "Trembita Bukovel" on May 14th. We'll collect our miles of grace on one of the most dangerous mountain tracks in Ukraine in order to attract additional funds for mobile hospitals.
I'm fashion designer Jean Gritsfeldt. I am running "Miles of Grace" in charitable half marathon together with Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation. I hope my contribution to this project will help HIV-positive children to feel our care and support. I believe that all children regardless of their place of residence and their social status should get our attention.
I am Olga Rudnieva, Director of Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation. On April 17th I will run my first charitable half marathon together with fantastic team of devoted folks. Same time it would take me to overcome the distance, it would take any mobile hospital to get to its destination in the middle of nowhere in Ukraine. A lot of HIV-positive kids live in remote areas and timely medical aid is crucial for them. For many, mobile hospitals are the only chance to save their lives.

Republicans recently lost a seat to a Democrat in a viciously contested race in Alabama. The facts did not seem to matter as accusations without proof . Real not paid witnesses for the Moore camp proved the lie and Rinos, who either bad mouthed the Republican candidate or voted a write in, were too much for Judge Moore's campaign. No doubt illegal voters also helped to spin the election marker into the Blue zone.
I propose that Republican's use the same tactics as the Democrats and encourage the illegal immigration of potential voters with a carrot and a stick. Republicans, who have been behind the ball never learned to play the same election rigging game as well as the Democrats. It's time Republicans learned the down and dirty Democratic way.
The carrot will be to promise them a path to citizenship, or even outright amnesty as long as they understand they must vote for a Republican in any contest. The trick to this is to disguise the stick as a carrot as Democrats have done so well for so long (1861 to present). Republicans must not shudder to learn from the left as Malcolm X learned (1) and keep the voting minority firmly in the Republican camp voting for our agenda.
Furthermore, Republican's should pull another page from the liberal playbook; cannibalize your own. Democrats are using other Democrats accused of sexual misconduct, abandoning them as pawns in a game of election rigging, while they once supported Bill Clinton. This faux morality has much to recommend it to Republicans.
Opining from the moral high ground has many advantages, from getting rid of liberals that would have lost anyway to using the high ground to cast all manner of accusations at the opposition party.
The willingness to fund research is another game changer and Republicans must not deny that paying for opposition research (real or not) into the opposition as the DNC and HRC campaign did to use while standing on high.

The ongoing show, 'Making Art: Materials and Technology', at Piramal Museum of Art in Mumbai provides the viewers an insight into the process of creating art and exploring the relationship between materials used in making art, along with the theoretical knowledge of how history of art evolved with technology over the years. For the exhibit, the museum space has been broadly divided into six categories: Charcoal, Ink and Graphite, Paints and Pigments, Sculpture, Printmaking, Photography and Digital Media. The theme of the show is supported by exhibits of original works by masters like Jehangir Sabawala, F.N. Souza, Tyeb Mehta, Ranbir Kaleka, Krishen Khanna, Jogen Chowdhury and Nikhil Chopra and sculpture art by D.P. Roy Choudhury and Meera Mukherjee. You can also spot the work of Bangalore based artist Ravi Kumar Kashi, known for his extensive knowledge of paper-making.
ACF: What is the inspiration behind this unique show?
Vaishnavi: The audience and their interest in creating art has been our biggest inspiration. We have been engaging with them since 2015. Recent turn of art history shows art lovers are interested not only in what is being made but also the process involved in reaching that stage.
Ashvin: I am from the audience and outreach side. I can't have people appreciating art till they learn to understand art works. Even the simplest sentence written about art is too complex to understand and when we try to unwrap it, there are layers of jargon. In the process of simplifying it, we have had to build everything from the basics.
ACF: Tell us a bit about the exciting journey in putting things together for this show.
Vaishnavi: Given that there are so many art materials, narrowing down and picking what we want to show here has been tough. Even the simplest of the material we use in creating art has a very rich history that travels across time and places. Each artist follows a unique process and handles the same material differently. We have done extensive research to bring it to the audience in a simplified way.
Ashvin: Breaking down the exhibition systematically in order to reach out to the audience has been very interesting and exciting. Vaishnavi brought in all the academic knowledge and we both had to unlearn the whole process first and then start building blocks in creating art for this show.
ACF: Which is your favorite space/area in this exhibition?
Vaishnavi: The Central Activity Area where visitors can directly engage with the material through a tactile experience of touching and experimenting.
Ashvin: The whole floor in the center area is made of canvas. I am excited to see who will take the first leap to start painting on it.
ACF: What is your target audience? How are you planning to reach out to people?
Ashvin: Everyone and anyone. We want all age groups to come and experience this exhibition. Our outreach team has designed a series of events and activities such as free guided Sunday tours, workshops on pottery, block printing and charcoal, papermaking, watercolour painting, clay workshop, video art and photography, artist talks for the audiences of every age group. These events are spread across three months till June 15, 2019.
ACF: With the setting of the Museum being a key element in this specific show, were there any unique challenges that you faced in putting this show together?
Vaishnavi: On one hand we are trying to engage the audience with the art work by touching and experiencing it, on the other hand we are displaying the work of well- established artists. Aspect of safety is very important here. We have to maintain and protect the artworks displayed in the show. That is why we had to come up with the design of this circular area which is very open and at the same time gives a sense of closeness to the artwork. Bridging the gap between openness and intimacy was challenging in my case.
Ashvin: Breaking down the content was the biggest challenge for me.
ACF: What were your highs and lows in putting the show together?
Vaishnavi: Challenge in writing about the show, unavailability of a lot of material to explain artist practice. Secondly each of this material is so complex and space is limited. People normally don't have the bandwidth to absorb everything.
Ashvin: Once Vaishnavi and I were sure of our concept and plan for the exhibition, it was a challenge to communicate to the best of designers. It was very difficult for them to visualize our thought process initially. Everything has shaped up so well finally.
Vaishnavi: Clay is the simplest, it has childlike qualities and at the same time can be used to create complex pieces.
Ashvin: Charcoal is my favorite. It is primitive but needs a lot of expertise to work with.
ACF: Describe the show in one line.
Vaishnavi: The exhibition is about the joy of creating something with your hands.
Ashvin: It is an open invitation to everyone to come and make art.
ACF: What do you hope viewers will get out of the exhibition after seeing it?
Vaishnavi: We want them to get into the routine of making creativity a part of their life.
Ashvin: Better understanding of art, materials and the technology.

Home Fossils Fossil arthropod went on the hunt for its prey
Fossil arthropod went on the hunt for its prey
Jurassic thylacocephalan Clausocaris lithographica. Credit: Haug et al. 2014
A new species of carnivorous crustacean has been identified, which roamed the seas 435 million years ago, grasping its prey with spiny limbs before devouring it. The fossil is described and details of its lifestyle are published in the open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology.
The fossils were discovered near Waukesha, Wisconsin, with the new species, Thylacares brandonesis, named after the Brandon Bridge Formation where it was found. It is the oldest known example of the Thylacocephala group — shrimp-like creatures, mostly from the Jurassic period, known for their bulbous eyes and multiple limbs. The muscle structure and leg morphology of the new species suggests that it used its long, claw-like appendages to catch prey in a similar way to modern remipedes, blind crustaceans still found in salt water-filled caves.
Derek Briggs, Yale University, says: "This new research extends the range of this enigmatic group of fossil arthropods back to the Silurian, some 435 million years ago, and provides evidence that they belong among the crustaceans, the modern group that includes lobsters, shrimps and crabs."
Carolin Haug, LMU Munich, said: "T. brandonensis was probably an actively hunting predator, which caught the prey with its front claws and crushed it into smaller pieces with the protrusions nearer its mouthparts."
"This early, Silurian, example of Thylacocephala is in many ways much less extreme than the more recent Jurassic species. It still has normal-sized eyes in contrast to the very enlarged ones that came later, and shorter front claws in T. brandonensis compared to the extremely elongated ones in more recent Jurassic representatives."

The description of the new Silurian species was part of a wider investigation into this group of fossils, including several new Jurassic specimens. Modern imaging techniques allowed the scientists to visualise new features, such as the tiny details of the T. brandonensis muscle structure. Based on these images, they created 3D models of the new species, which help us to understand the creature's life habits.

IDAHO Earl M. Hardy Box Canyon Springs Nature Preserve. © Stan Fellows
Outdoorsman Hal Herring takes a closer look at three tucked-away wild places that were protected by The Nature Conservancy.
By Hal Herring, Journalist | March 01, 2013
March/April 2013
Hal Herring Journalist
Driving east on I-84 from Boise, past the fields filled fencerow to fencerow with irrigated corn, wheat, beets and potatoes, past the large-scale hog and dairy cattle operations, a nature-oriented traveler might suspect that there's not much of interest in Idaho's Snake River plain.
The traveler would be wrong.
Look north, beyond the billiard-table plain, and you see a jumble of mountains, snow clad and rugged and wild. That's the Lost River Range, the birthplace of the Big Lost River, Little Lost River and other major waters. Those rivers emerge from the mountains onto the volcanic stones of the plain and then immediately disappear.
It is almost too much to imagine. Far beneath the bellowing herds of Holsteins and armies of hogs, cold rivers of crystalline mountain water seep and tumble in Stygian darkness, moving more than 100 miles southwest along faults and fissures in a slow fall—all underground.
And then they reappear, along the walls of the deep canyon cut into the plain by the Snake River. This dramatic reappearance is known as the Thousand Springs complex, and there once were at least a thousand of these cascades flowing into the Snake. As with the rest of the plain, most of the springs have been harnessed for human endeavors—but not all. The Nature Conservancy has worked here for more than two decades to preserve the last few free-running springs.
To find one of them, I join Matt Miller, a writer for the Conservancy and a longtime Boise resident. Twenty miles northwest of the city of Twin Falls, Matt and I park among austere wheat fields at the weathered kiosk of the Earl M. Hardy Box Canyon Springs Nature Reserve.
The canyon is invisible until you reach its edge, a sudden promontory where the plain collapses and cliffs of mahogany-brown columnar basalt drop away to a creek bottom-lit with new spring greenery. A pour of turquoise water—about 180,000 gallons per minute, say the experts—spills from the lower cliffs to our right, feeding an aquamarine river that pauses in a wide pool 50 feet across and then races away toward the Snake River.
Descending on an easy footpath, we come to the canyon floor, where a jumble of talus peters out into wide meadows and tangled birch and serviceberry thickets. Above us, the fortress of basalt towers, the nesting place of golden eagles. Along the ledges, marmots stand to watch us pass, giving their distinctive chirping alarm call before shambling calmly away to the safety of a million cracks and crevices. Trout rise in the eddies of the creek.
Aquaculture operations blossomed here throughout the second half of the 20th century, sustained by the bountiful spring water. By the early 1980s, the number of free-flowing springs had dwindled to a handful. Even then there were plans to capture and use what remained, including most of the flow at Box Canyon.
In 1986, the then-fledgling Conservancy program in Idaho took action. It purchased a 385-acre property that included an awe-inspiring set of spring-fed waterfalls and Ritter Island, an old dairy operation in the middle of the river. The island is now a state park and open for picnicking and birding. When nearby Box Canyon came up for sale in 1999, the Conservancy bought the property for $5 million and managed it until the state was ready to add it to the park system. Today, Box Canyon, Malad Canyon, Billingsley Creek and Ritter Island together protect almost two miles of Snake River frontage and constitute one of Idaho's most ecologically important state parks. People have room to roam, and the roaming is very good.
Yet the parks remain relatively undiscovered. As Matt and I unlock the car after our hike, a lone visitor stands at the kiosk with a baffled look. His small pickup shows the effects of a lot of miles, and his dogs have already leapt out. The man explains that he works at the local whey plant and is looking for a place to walk after a long day of working inside.
"What's down the trail there?" he asks.
"You really have to see it to believe it," I answer.
Rhode Island Block Island © Stan Fellows
THIS EDGE OF THE WORLD
Block Island is a 9.7-square-mile chunk of glacial till and granite boulders overlain with pockets of towns and farms and summer homes about 12 miles off the Rhode Island coast. It lies within four hours of an entirely different planet: the megalopolis stretching from Boston to New York City, a landscape hive of 20 million people.
In this modern age of coastal investment properties and gated vacation communities, the preservation of open space and public access on the scale found on Block Island seems almost impossible. Unlike visitors to the more famous Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, travelers on Block Island can wander every foot of every beach. Twenty-eight miles of trails traverse every landscape on the island, from farmland to ocean bluffs to thickets and ponds. This on a bit of land only seven miles long and three miles wide.
Such access comes thanks to an island tradition called walking cross lots, a kind of neighborly agreement that lets walkers travel on private property with the understanding that they'll leave nothing and take nothing beyond pleasure in their freedom. When the world—in the form of vacationers, yachtsmen and home builders—began to discover Block Island in the 1970s, descendants of the original settlers took it upon themselves to protect their open space. Islanders like Capt. John R. Lewis, who would form the Block Island Conservancy, teamed up with the state Department of Environmental Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Conservancy to purchase property—ensuring the land would remain essentially undeveloped.
Today, nearly half of Block Island has been preserved through these ongoing efforts, and the island still includes ample farmland. The conservation partners on the island are steadily restoring habitat to keep native species abundant—including the endangered black-and-orange American burying beetle, which has, for reasons not quite clear, disappeared almost entirely from its former range across eastern North America. Except for here.
If there is a trail on the East Coast that can rival Clayhead for grandeur of scenery, I have not walked it. I arrive at the trail on a bright but cold April morning, right on time for the mass flowering of daffodils planted over decades by a local family. The trees on the bluff line are sculpted and bonsaied by a relentless wind. I hike among them, on an easy path overlooking the tumult of the ocean 120 feet below. Schools of striped bass sweep through clear green waters behind the thundering surf. A strange leonine head cuts through the sea—a seal, bound for who knows where. Beyond it, thousands of miles of ocean yawn.
To descend with the trail to the beach is to walk on cobbles of pink granite, snowy quartzite and lumps of the namesake gray clays. Hundreds of the black skate egg cases, known as mermaid's purses, surround a quahog shell on the sand.
Geologists say the bluffs above the beach are eroding fast under the hammer and cold, blue chisel of the ocean. In 10,000 more years, Block Island will return to the sea entirely. In the here and now, however, we share the place with the thousands of migrating birds that stop to fuel up for their dangerous journeys north and south. We watch the seals, walk the paths and marvel: Sometimes, people really do work together to save the best of what they have, and pass it on to all of us.
Tennessee/Alabama Walls of Jericho © Stan Fellows
GRAND CANYON OF THE SOUTH
Almost completely hidden within one of the last great forestlands of the southern Cumberland Mountains lies the canyon known as the Walls of Jericho. Swathed in shadowed woods on the border of Tennessee and Alabama, it cradles the headwaters of the Paint Rock River, whose watershed is one of North America's most biologically diverse.
The river is home to 50 species of mussels, experts say, including 10 that are threatened or endangered and one that is found nowhere else. Its pristine, cave-born waters are among the final planetary holdouts for odd little species of fish like the snail darter, the blotchside logperch and the palezone shiner. All told, and as far as biologists have determined, the Paint Rock holds a mind-boggling 150 species of native fish, mussels and snails.
All of this was unknown to me when I first reached the deep canyon back in 1976, when I was 15 years old. I grew up in a place called Sharp's Cove, northeast of Huntsville, Alabama, and directly west of the Paint Rock Valley. Mine was a life lived outside, and there was no place better to live it than among those low, flat-topped foothills of the Cumberland Mountains, with their deep hollers, hidden caves and old moonshiners' paths. It's a country of legends, spirits and ghost stories, and no part of it was more legendary than the Walls of Jericho.
My first trip there was up an old road that followed Hurricane Creek, past where the road devolved to a trail and then to 8 miles of continuous axle-breaking rocks and mud holes. Finally, we parked our trucks and walked up-stream to the mouth of the Walls and were struck silent for the first time all day by the cathedral-like hush of the place.
We threaded the narrow paths at the bottom of the canyon, the pale stone walls towering 200 feet above us, and we waded and swam in the big holes of the creek, the clear water such a change from the muddy lowland rivers back home. Schools of strange minnows abounded, and little rock bass with ruby eyes pursued them in the shallows. The yellow poplar trees that grew between the walls of the canyon—some of them 3 feet and more in diameter—soared straight up for the sun, limbless like the shafts of giant arrows.
I would visit a couple more times over the next few years, to fish and explore. Then the road was closed and all access ended. By the early 1990s, Mead Paper Company had acquired the Walls and the tens of thousands of acres around the canyon.
The following decade was a rollercoaster ride for America's paper companies, and the land went through a series of rapid changes in ownership—changes that The Nature Conservancy watched closely, says Gabby Lynch, who manages the Conservancy's land-protection program in Tennessee.
With each change in ownership at the Walls of Jericho, danger loomed: Owners tended to clear-cut or subdivide their new holdings, seeking to reap profit from their investments. The timber around the Walls was an asset, ripe for harvest. But luck prevailed, and in 2003 the land was acquired by Coastal Lumber Company, a business the Conservancy had worked with before. "We knew who to talk with there," says Lynch. The Conservancy negotiated for the Walls and eventually got it: about 12,000 acres on the Alabama side of the state line and 9,000 on the Tennessee side.
The Conservancy's hope was to turn the land over to the states for public recreation—a plan to which Alabama and Tennessee readily agreed. Today you can access the Walls from either Alabama's Skyline Wildlife Management Area or Tennessee's Bear Mountain Hollow Wildlife Management Area.
Nowadays, the preferred way into the Walls is from a parking lot off Highway 16 on the Tennessee side of the line. The trail down is well made and beautifully switchbacked across the long slope of the mountains. It's still a bit hard on the knees on the way down and a thigh burner on the way back out. Despite the effort—or perhaps because of it—it remains one of the best day hikes in the Southeast.

Just wanted to introduce myself to you guys. I'm 4th and inches from purchasing the above. VERY excited.
I'm trading out of a 2014 Minnie Winnie 31h. And taking a bath; but its okay. The level of comfort and quality in the Jayco is lightyears ahead of the Winnie. Plus, I could not get over how much better it drove. Night and day. I just could not get over how much easier it was to drive the Jayco.
I'm not a stranger to Jayco. I had a pop-up (1207) and a hybrid (x17z) prior.
Happy to join such a helpful product specific forum.

Getting Relief for Tired, Sore or Achy Muscles is a Ball!
Ball Dynamics Stress Buster Massage Ball - Extremely firm ball with low, rounded spikes can be used to work out the knots without getting marks or a pin prick sensation. Smooth, Myofascial Release Treatment sessions are generally performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. These self-massage techniques can be used with this ball to directly relieve tired, sore and achy muscles. It is the firmest sensory massage ball available from Ball Dynamics and helps improve circulation, relieves stress and tension. Simply lie down and place the ball on tense muscles and move around on it or roll underneath your feet for a great massage. Use after a long day or an intense workout for splendid relief.
Instructions: Simply lie down and place the ball on tense muscles and move around on it or roll underneath your feet for a great massage.
Indications: Very firm sensory massage ball is great for relieving muscle tension or knots. Ideal self-massaging tool for neck and shoulder tension, back pain, tension headaches and muscular aches and pains.
Care & Cleaning: Wash with warm water, mild cleanser and air dry.
Self-Massage: Tips for Combating Muscle Aches from the Comfort of Your Own Home.
While exercise, stretching and soaking in a tub might take care of muscle aches for some, others need a little more help. A professional massage therapist is just a phone call away but this is not always a practical solution for all. The lucky ones live with an amazing amateur masseuse, but not all of us are so fortunate. This is where self-massage comes in handy and with a wide range of tips & tools available; taking care of yourself – by yourself – can be easy, affordable & effective.
• Relax: If you are tense while you self-massage, the benefit will be null. Leave the worries of the day behind and create a comfortable environment where you can totally relax. Set aside the time, prepare tools and areas for self-massage in advance to easily transition from one to another. Maintain a comfortable position with non-constricting clothing. It can be further beneficial to add aromatherapy, candles, scented oils, soft music and low lights.
• Heat Therapy: Heat loosens up better than cold, so starting, staying &/or ending in a warm environment such as a bath is beneficial. Using heat packs throughout the massage process will also allow heat continuous heat flow..
• Stretches: Hold static stretches for 30 seconds to lengthen each muscle group.
• Foam rollers: Extra pressure exertion for all areas of the body. All shapes & sizes; with bumps, rubbery spikes, smooth or on a handle. By slowing rolling over various areas of your body (or your body rolling over the roller), you will help break up adhesions and scar tissue, speeding up the healing &/or recovery process after a workout too.
• Balls/Rolls: Whether a single orb, on a rope, a handle or the circular end of a massage tool; much like foam rollers, these exert pressure, but by being smaller they allow for a more targeted deep tissue massage.
• Trigger point concentration: "Knots" in muscle tissue that feels harder than normal and are tender to touch. These areas should be concentrated on which may alleviate pain in the surrounding area.
• Massage balm, lotion or oil: Balm or lotion provide less mess and clean up, but oil has a higher penetration rate.
• Sleep: Well-known to be a natural ailment healer, a good night's sleep (especially after self-massage) is ideal.
Tennis balls and the like are far too forgiving for certain muscles. This, on the other hand, is just hard enough to work out spots that have, to now, proven unmanageable. It is decently priced, and made well.

ARE YOU IN THE MOOD FOR SOME GANDII BAAT? ALTBalaji's MOST WATCHED FRANCHISE IS BACK WITH SEASON 3
Cinespeaks Web Series Leave a comment
Amazon Prime Video's 'The Forgotten Army- Azaadi ke Liye' remembers the legendary women of Rani of Jhansi regiment
Here's who played Nakuul and Anya's parents in Never Kiss Your Best Friend and why are they so special
The most talked about web-series is back with its third season
Trailer link:
After setting the digital space on fire with its first two seasons, ALTBalaji's Gandii Baat is back again to take the nation by storm as it drops the trailer of the third season of the series. The erotic web series grabbed eyeballs and became the talk of the town not only in India but across the globe, with almost 15% of its viewership coming from outside India. Owing to its bold themes, the franchise of Gandii Baat is once again set to titillate the audiences and leave them asking for more in its third season. With today's audience being more vocal and open-minded about sensuality, the show is a depiction of some real-life incidents, that no one speaks about. It comes as no surprise that the web-series has 25% female audience, who now don't shy away from openly accepting their innate desires. The web-series content has audience hooked and has a stupendous completion rate of 89% on the app, with almost 32% viewership coming from high end smartphones.
The trailer of the third season gives us a sneak-peek into the four stories titled, Harpreet weds Harpreet, Rajkumar, Honeymoon on wheels and Sonam Chadh Gaye. Featuring Lalit Bisht, Rushali Arora, Bhawsheel Sahni, Rishikesh Ingley, Shiny Dixit, Sheeva Rana, amongst others, this four-episode series is definitely something that audiences can't wait to look forward to.
Commenting on the launch, actor Lalit Bisht said, "The success of previous seasons is not hidden from anyone and I am glad that I got the opportunity to be a part of its new season. I feel that the show is way ahead of its time and is progressive in multiple ways. Everyone associated with the show is experimenting with issues and real life incidents that probably are brushed under the carpet or are considered taboo. I am really looking forward to the launch."
Speaking about her comeback and trailer launch, Rushali Arora quipped, "I've done several shows with Ekta Kapoor in the past and it is absolutely fantastic to be making a comeback with a show like this. ALTBalaji has voiced its opinion against the taboos existing in the Indian society through Gandii Baat which is really commendable. I am very excited for the launch of the series and with everyone waiting to see what's in store, I hope the show reaches new heights and sets a new benchmark."
In Seasons 1 and 2, the audiences witnessed exciting theme love stories spiced with steamy and jaw-dropping scenes. Renowned names like Flora Saini, Anveshi Jain, Pradeep Duhan, Rahul Jaitley, Sonam Arora, Aman Maheshwari, Nazneen amongst others were seen raising the bar as well as temperature with their bold performances.

A curious area of rock-cut seating was initially interpreted as a one-sided stadium. However, that interpretation was altered when a completely unexpected stage building was found to the south of the seating area. Geophysical work had revealed a stoa-like building and excavation confirmed that it was indeed a stage building.
In its original form, the building consisted of a colonnaded façade with eleven columns, and four column bases from this phase are still visible behind a later addition. Three large rooms typical of early Hellenistic theatres were set behind the façade. Later, a new longer colonnade with twenty-four columns was added in front of the original one, creating a proskenion with western and eastern wings behind it. Letter pairs from A-A in the west to T-T in the east are found on the edges of stylobate blocks, although these were hidden by columns 0.35 m in diameter whose setting marks still remain. Settings marks for panels placed between the columns were also discovered.
Although there is limited dating evidence, comparison with known theatres suggests an early Hellenistic date for the original stage and a date of the 3rd or early 2nd century BCE for its remodelling.
Trenches were opened in the hopes of further elucidating the built form of the theatre. However, little stratigraphy and few cultural remains were found in the area of the orchestra, while no preserved seats were uncovered at the foot of the slope. West of the main area of rock-cut seats are some rows of poorly preserved seats carved out of the bedrock. A curving foundation was uncovered in front of them, suggesting something grander than a simple exedra, perhaps a sort of council house or bouleterion attached to the theatre in a public area of the town.

The previous footage we've seen from Tom Cruise's Mummy reboot hinted at some of the eponymous villain's evil powers, but this one offers a bit more backstory on Sofia Boutell's undead monster and what she wants from Cruise. Basically, she's evil and wants to do evil stuff, but there's probably some nuance here and there. Other than that, this trailer also has a weird dependence on the guitar riff from "Paint It Black," a quick appearance from New Girl's Jake Johnson—who is quickly making a career out of dumping exposition in blockbuster reboots of famous Hollywood brands—and some more glimpses at Russell Crowe's Dr. Henry Jekyll. Speaking of, what's that guy's story? It sure is weird that he shares a name with a famous Universal Monster.
The Mummy was directed by Alex Kurtzman, and it will be in theaters on June 9.

Shame is passed down from generation to generation. I was the youngest sibling and if I am being honest I must admit that on some level the members of my family all took sadistic pleasure in making me feel ashamed of myself. I am sure a lot of this was done without thinking. In other words they probably did not make the connection that they sought to make me feel ashamed because it was pleasurable to them. Rather, they saw me as a flawed person and probably thought they were being virtuous in pointing out my flaws. To them I probably came off as a contemptible, weak creature undeserving of respect. My mother criticized me so that I would see the error of my ways and reform myself into the person she wanted me to be. She limited me to protect me from my inevitable failures and reckless behavior. My father criticized me because I annoyed him and was undisciplined and therefore deserved punishment. My older sisters bullied me in order to toughen me up.
I think both of my parents grew up in families where they were treated harshly by their parents. I have no doubt if I presented this theory to either of them they would respond that I am wrong and that their parents were wonderful people who made great sacrifices to provided for them and brought them up to be honest, hard-working and responsible contributors to society (or something along those lines). I also have no doubt that is true. My grandparents (the "Greatest Generation") lived during the Depression and World War II. They struggled and persevered and probably had to adopt a severe approach to life because survival was at stake. Enduring these experiences probably also motivated my grandparents to provide a "better life" for my parents' generation. I suspect along the way my grand parents' generation became jealous or ashamed of their children who grew up in a relatively more comfortable life but did not have to make the same sacrifices to earn it. This translated to a sense that my parents' generation had to behave themselves and be grateful for what they had and to the extent they did not do this they were severely punished. Some of this punishment was physical. But all of the punishment (including the physical) included shame. My parents' generation then grew up and internalized a great deal of this shame. There was a sense that they inherited the benefits of my grand parents' struggles but did not have to struggle themselves. My parents in turn raised my generation in an even more comfortable lifestyle which in turn touched their internalized shame. This shame manifested itself in irritation with my generation, alcoholism and a tendency to lash out in an extremely disproportionate manner when they perceived a lack of due respect, irresponsibility or un-gratefulness on our part.
I grew up constantly feeling like I was not entitled to what I had and that I should somehow feel ashamed of it because I did not earn it. For most of my life I thought that I felt this way because I was inherently flawed as a person. I now see this is the result of faulty programing (perhaps even well-intentioned). The prior generations did not have the resources to see what they were doing and the damage it caused. For some reason I was blessed with the ability to see this and am now in a position to mitigate its effect on my children.
Thanks for linking to my post. I'm glad you did, so that I could find this blog. I'll be reading more here, in future.

Meeting an Old Friend
August 10, 2011 cockmans 1 comment
Nearly six months in India had left its mark both emotionally and physically on us both. It truly is 'Incredible India', as the tourism board proclaim, though perhaps with an unintentional breadth of meaning. Having been entirely consumed by a single country for so long, we were shocked, saddened and joyous upon leaving. We were also slightly frustrated at having to take our first flight since departure from the UK. In previous years a boat service was available between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka but the outbreak of war saw an end to the route which has yet to be resumed. My suggestion of swimming however fell on deaf ears.
Our first taste of Asia had been in Sri Lanka in 2006, and we were therefore very excited to be reuniting with an old friend. We were particularly interested in our personal reactions to the country given our greater travel experience this time around. There was also the added bonus of freedom to travel to areas that were previously off limits during the war.
We touched down in Negombo in the middle of the night and gained some comfort from familiar sights as we walked through arrivals, namely the bright white of a welcoming Buddha statue closely followed by the equally radiant duty free fridges and washing machines. No buses were running at that time, so we jumped in a taxi with two bizarre Flemish guys who fell asleep on Hazell. My change in perception was immediately apparent, (not of Hazell, people always fall asleep on her). The main road leading towards Colombo had seemed so exotic, hectic and dishevelled five years ago, unlike anything I had seen before, but having just left India it seemed utopian, and it was me who displayed the former characteristics. Bleary eyed, we stumbled around on arrival in Hikkaduwa looking for a guest house, taking the first offer that emanated from the 5am darkness.
I had recently finished Ghandi's autobiography, an inspiring read that tells the story of his life up to the point of his independence movement in India. In Sri Lanka we were to spend time volunteering for the Manacare Foundation, and it was with Ghandi's words fresh in my mind that I proceeded:
'Such service can have no meaning unless one takes pleasure in it. When it is done for show or for fear of public opinion, it stunts the man and crushes his spirit. Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possession pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.'
We were both a little nervous about offering our services, especially as we were unsure what our tasks would involve. These fears were allayed later in the day when we met the Chairman of Manacare, Joy. She picked us up next to the beach in a small red car and welcomed us in with a 'Hello darlings!', before taking us to her home within the greenery, away from the coastline. There we met a friend who was visiting named Gaye, and we were offered tea and biscuits by a Sri Lankan maid. At this stage we were starved of sleep and feeling a little disoriented, so transmigration to the days of the British Empire came as quite a shock. This aside, we felt immediately at home and Joy informed us of her worldwide activities and current projects in Sri Lanka. Manacare has projects in Uganda, South Africa, Siberia and the Philippines to name a few; all of which Joy has developed during her 'retirement'. She takes no salary from any of her work, instead living on the money she made from diamond mining, a previous profession which she did 'relatively well in'. Other side projects have included digging up dinosaur eggs in the Gobi Desert and selling them to Japanese collectors.
The following day we visited the Manacare Village in Telwatta, a community that was devastated by the 2004 Tsunami. Soon after the disaster donations were received to start building and soon there was a crèche, pre-school, health centre, community hall, therapy centre and workshops for producing small scale goods. The core of the model is 'sustainable employment', and local women and men are employed to run the site and manufacture goods such as soap, candles, and anything that can be produced with a sewing machine! These goods are then sold to hotels, private buyers and shops, with the profit paying salaries to the employees and contributing towards further developments.
The warm, welcoming atmosphere is immediately apparent on meeting the beneficiaries at the site. We were told that post tsunami the area was a mess of brown sludge, but today the wonderful Sri Lankan jungle flourishes and those working at the village take pride in their surroundings. There were plenty of jobs Joy needed help with, so we got stuck into tidying and organising the material shelf in the workshop. The next few days were spent white washing walls, and then our best effort, a lick of 'Manacare Purple' for the front gate. Jumping straight into the sea after a days work in the sun was particularly pleasant, and we joined many Sri Lankans cooling off. We did however refrain from undertaking the local custom of rolling around in ones pants in the sand before running full throttle into the sea.
It was wonderful to interact with the locals and we met many inspirational individuals. Cali is a middle aged Sri Lankan who lives in a house provided by Manacare; she is full time carer for her brain damaged daughter Themmi (Demi), who is soon to turn twenty. Previously, Cali worked in the Lebanon in hospitality and lived with her husband, a time which saw the birth of their daughter.
When Themmi was two years old bombs were dropped on the neighbourhood; the noxious contents left both parents unscathed, but the young brain of Themmi was permanently damaged. Initially Themmi was cared for by Cali's family in Sri Lanka, while she worked in Spain to raise funds, but over time her husband developed arthritis and severe depression and is himself now in permanent care in Europe. Cali returned to Sri Lanka in order to care for Themmi and then the Tsunami struck, leaving the local area devastated and without adequate services for her daughter. Manacare began developing in the Telwatte and now they live in a nice house, with suitable conditions which Cali keeps impeccably!
It was an honour to sit and talk to Cali and listen to her experiences, and she told us she enjoys having guests to chat to! Many an afternoon were spent discussing all sorts of things over a cup of tea! Though Themmi is unable to converse, she listens intently to all conversations and recognises familiar voices when she hears them. She particularly enjoys music and radio programmes and listens in both Sinhalese and English. Cali is able to comprehend her daughters communication as only a mother can and is amazingly responsive to Themmi's needs.
Most of the beneficiaries at Manacare have a harrowing story to tell, and the destruction of the Tsunami left most individuals bereft. Charitable construction has provided an enormous amount to the inhabitants of Telwatte, and we were learning all the time from our surroundings and from Joy during our stay. We certainly empathised with her and the vision she has for Manacare, (as does another, slightly higher profile supporter, Mr Cliff Richard) and this connection lead to the next phase of our travels.
Joy had planned for some time to develop a similar project in the war effected areas of the north; people in Sri Lanka had seen her project in the south and pleaded with her to replicate it. Even though we had only helped out so far with a couple of bad paint jobs, Joy asked if we'd like to be involved in this future project, starting with a 'reconnaissance trip' to Jaffna. We had planned to travel to the north, but this gave the journey an extra dimension, and it was with an added sense of purpose that we headed to what was previously forbidden territory.

Assessing Students' Perception Towards the Teaching of Sexuality Education in Senior Secondary Schools in Nigeria
Joy-Telu Hamilton-Ekeke
Department of Science Education, Faculty of Education, Niger Delta University, Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa State, Nigeria.
The absence of systematic sex education in schools would seem to be a transfer from the tendency among parents to shy away from answering questions about sex and procreation which young people ask. The prevalence of indulgence in premarital sex or unsafe sexual behaviours by secondary school students who are mostly adolescents has attracted growing concerns from all stakeholders. These unsafe sexual behaviours may have significant unpleasant consequences on their health which they may not be necessarily aware of considering the high prevalence rate of sexually transmitted diseases. Over the years, there has been a heated debate on whether sexuality education should be included in school curriculum. While some think it is immoral for sex education to be included in the school curriculum, others strongly believe that the teaching of sex education is ideal for teenagers as it will guide them who early exposure to technology makes them vulnerable to misinformation. Parents on the other hand are worried about the way sexuality education is being taught in schools. Yet these divergent views represent both sides of the same coin – a genuine concern borne out of the need to protect and ensure the safety of the future of teenagers and young people in general. This study therefore looked at the students' perception of sexuality education taught to them in the school and how students' predominant views on sex influence their acceptance of sexuality education.

Q: Detekt. Different thresholds for same rule I'm using Detekt and I need to configure LargeClass rule. I want to set different thresholds for production and test classes. Is it possible to configure it such way?
A: Finally I found solution.
I was able to achieve this by creating separate yaml file with only specific rule and different threshold for this rule, and pass it with --config, -c flag:

For today's post, look again to the Farmers' Almanac. Nature Wisdom passed down through time for anyone who is willing to learn.
Now is the time to close up the fall work and get ready to go into winter. Finish the fall ploughing, trim the grapevines, throw some pine boughs over the strawberry beds.
The cool nights and the frosty mornings remind us that winter is at hand. It is better to cut firewood now than later in the season, as it dries better and is harder than if cut after the first of the year.
– Cut all asparagus plants to the ground.
– Place tree guards around young fruit and nut trees to prevent winter damage from bark nibblers, such as voles and rabbits.
– If a soil test shows a deficiency, add the appropriate soil amendments now.
– Build wooden frames or tents to protect shubs from heavy snow.
– Plant tulip bulbs twice as deep as their height.
– Give the compost pile a good turning before winter.
– To make calcium-rich water for houseplants, soak crushed eggshells in water for a few days. Strain out the shells.
– Dip candle ends in hot water and then fit them into holders while the wax is soft.
– Fill a sugar shaker with flour to sprinkle when you're rolling pastry.
– To thaw a frozen turkey in the refrigerator, allow one day for every 5 pounds.

I recently bought, and love, these Old Navy cardigans. The beige one is a bit over-sized and super comfy, while the dalmatian print is designed to fit and adds a touch of trendy to an outfit. If you're looking for some affordable additions to your fall wardrobe, I suggest these two pieces!

If a person in England went to bed in their home and woke up the next morning under the Eiffel Tower hearing everyone speaking French, they might wonder how they got there, but they would believe they were in France. If that person woke up by the Statue of Liberty, they would believe they were in the United States. We are can tell where we are by the observable signs and images around us.
This is the mindset of the Pharisees when they come to Jesus to ask him 'when will the Kingdom of God come?' What should they look for to know that the Kingdom of God has come? Perhaps a giant golden throne would drop from the sky in Bethlehem; or a mighty brand new shiny Temple would suddenly appear in Jerusalem.
The Pharisees were seeking for an amazing extraordinary observable symbol that would tell them the Kingdom of God had come. Jesus makes it clear, this will not happen. The Kingdom of God is not represented in a thing, a building, or a flag. The Kingdom of God is represented only by a person, Jesus, and he is already with them.
Jesus is King of the Kingdom of God; his feet touched the earth; his blood spilled on the earth; and he has taken it as his own. Jesus has been growing his Kingdom to cover the earth one person at a time, with patience over thousands of years; when he is satisfied with the number of followers, he will shut down all rival kingdoms.
Get to know Jesus and the values of his Kingdom, through studying the Bible; it will turn out to be the best investment EVER for your future!

Oshiomhole boycotts Auchi Day celebration, scuttles Edo Traditional Council's effort to resolve political impasse
…We will not play politics of favouritism, says Obaseki
Attempts by the Edo State Council of Traditional Rulers and Chiefs chaired by His Royal Majesty, Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin, to resolve the political impasse between Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki and his predecessor and National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), hit the rocks on Wednesday, January 8, with Oshiomhole's boycott of the Auchi Day celebration.
The event was promoted as grounds to broker a peace accord between the two influential sons of the state, with the traditional rulers acting as umpires.
The celebration, in its 23rd edition, was themed 'Our salvation is in the hands of Allah' and held at the palace of the Otaru of Auchi Kingdom, Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State.
Weeks before the event in Auchi, which hosted illustrious sons and daughters of the state, eminent traditional rulers, representative of the Oba of Benin, political watchers had predicted that the crisis would be resolved during the celebration as the traditional rulers would deploy their influence and wisdom in getting Governor Obaseki and Comrade Oshiomhole to settle their differences in the interest of the development of the state.
In the run-up to the celebration, the Oba of Benin, had announced a fast on January 6, declared by the council to seek the face of God in the lingering crisis and pray for a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
However, the absence of Comrade Oshiomhole at the venue, which is few meters away from Iyamho, the APC helmsman's hometown, punctured the spirited efforts of the traditional rulers to resolve the impasse between the two former allies.
Speaking at the event, Governor Obaseki said he will continue to pursue peace as there cannot be meaningful development without peace in the state, stressing, "I am impressed with the celebration, and would ensure its continuity in Auchi."
He assured Edo people that his administration will never play politics of favoritism, but rather focus on developing all parts of the state equally.
The governor said the objective of his administration is to pursue policies and programmes that would guarantee a better life for the greatest number of people in the state, noting, "With the limited resources available to us, we have been able to renovate some primary schools and constructed road projects in the locality to improve the lives of the people. We aspire to do more for the people.
"We have commissioned the Auchi Fertilizer and Chemical Company, which currently produce 60,000 metrics tones of fertilizer of fertilizer, creating over 500 direct and indirect jobs. I am pleased to inform you that we will commence construction of Igbe, ICE and Mission Roads, which lead to Auchi, among other projects."
The governor said his administration has started pilot programme on education, healthcare, job creation and entrepreneurial initiatives in Benin, promising to expand the programmes to Auchi.
"Our priority as an administration is on the youths. We want to give them hope and opportunities for work. As a government, we are following the policies of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration as we have commenced investment in agriculture; we would expand it significantly this year.
"We are investing in poultry and livestock. The first 256,000 birds which the state took possession of six weeks ago and distributed to almost 1000 farmers have done well. We are expecting that this year, Edo will be a hub in poultry production."
The Otaru of Auchi Kingdom, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Aliru Momoh Ikelebe III, commended the governor and his entourage for gracing the 23rd edition of the Auchi Annual Day celebration.
He called on leaders to reserve time to thank God for what they have achieved.

CHAPTER XV. EDWARD I., LONGSHANKS. A.D. 1272 - 1307.
The son of Henry III. returned from the Holy Land to be one of our noblest, best, and wisest kings. Edward I. - called Longshanks in a kind of joke, because he was the tallest man in the Court - was very grand-looking and handsome; and could leap, run, ride, and fight in his heavy armor better than anyone else. He was brave, just, and affectionate; and his sweet wife, Eleanor of Castille, was warmly loved by him and all the nation. He built as many churches and was as charitable as his father, but he was much more careful to make only good men bishops, and he allowed no wasting or idling. He faithfully obeyed Magna Carta, and made everyone else obey the law - indeed many good laws and customs have begun from this time. Order was the great thing he cared for, and under him the English grew prosperous and happy, when nobody was allowed to rob them.
The Welsh were, however, terrible robbers. You remember that they are the remains of the old Britons, who used to have all Britain. They had never left off thinking that they had a right to it, and coming down out of their mountains to burn the houses and steal the cattle of the Saxons, as they still called the English. Edward tried to make friends with their princes - Llewellyn and David - and to make them keep their people in order. He gave David lands in England, and let Llewellyn marry his cousin, Eleanor de Montfort. But they broke their promises shamefully, and did such savage things to the English on their borders that he was forced to put a stop to it, and went to war. David was made prisoner, and put to death as a traitor; and Llewellyn was met by some soldiers near the bridge of Builth and killed, without their knowing who he was. Edward had, in the meantime, conquered most of the country; and he told the Welsh chiefs that, if they would come and meet him at Caernarvon Castle, he would give them a prince who had been born in their country - had never spoken a word of any language but theirs. They all came, and the king came down to them with his own little baby son in his arms, who had lately been born in Caernarvon Castle, and, of course, had never spoken any language at all. The Welsh were obliged to accept him; and he had a Welsh nurse, that the first words he spoke might be Welsh. They thought he would have been altogether theirs, as he then had an elder brother; but in a year or two the oldest boy died; and, ever since that time, the eldest son of the King of England has always been Prince of Wales.
There was a plan for the little Prince Edward of Caernarvon being married to a little girl, who was grand-daughter to the King of Scotland, and would be Queen of Scotland herself - and this would have led to the whole island being under one king - but, unfortunately, the little maiden died. It was so hard to decide who ought to reign, out of all her cousins, that they asked king Edward to choose among them - since everyone knew that a great piece of Scotland belonged to him as over-lord, just as his own dukedom of Aquitaine belonged to the King of France over him; and the Kings of Scotland always used to pay homage to those of England for it.
Edward chose John Balliol, the one who had the best right; but he made him understand that, as overlord, he meant to see that as good order was kept in Scotland as in England. Now, the English kings had never meddled with Scottish affairs before, and the Scots were furious at finding that he did so. They said it was insulting them and their king; and poor Balliol did not know what to do among them, but let them defy Edward in his name. This brought Edward and his army to Scotland. The strong places were taken and filled with English soldiers, and Balliol was made prisoner, adjudged to have rebelled against his lord and forfeited his kingdom, and was sent away to France.
Edward thought it would be much better for the whole country to join Scotland to England, and rule it himself. And so, no doubt, it would have been; but many Scots were not willing, - and in spite of all the care he could take, the soldiers who guarded his castles often behaved shamefully to the people round them. One gentleman, named William Wallace, whose home had been broken up by some soldiers, fled to the woods and hills, and drew so many Scots round him that he had quite an army. There was a great fight at the Bridge of Stirling; the English governors were beaten, and Wallace led his men over the border into Northumberland, where they plundered and burnt wherever they went, in revenge for what had been done in Scotland.
Edward gathered his forces and came to Scotland. The army that Wallace had drawn together could not stand before him, but was defeated at Falkirk, and Wallace had to take to the woods. Edward promised pardon to all who would submit - and almost all did; but Wallace still lurked in the hills, till one of his own countrymen betrayed him to the English, when he was sent to London, and put to death.
All seemed quieted, and English garrisons - that is, guarding soldiers - were in all the Scottish towns and castles, when, suddenly, Robert Bruce, one of the half English, half Scottish nobles between whom Edward had judged, ran away from the English court, with his horse's shoes put on backwards. The next thing that was heard of him was, that he had quarreled with one of his cousins in the church at Dumfries, and stabbed him to the heart, and then had gone to Scone and had been crowned King of Scotland.
Edward was bitterly angry now. He sent on an army to deal unsparingly with the rising, and set out to follow with his son, now grown to man's estate. Crueller things than he had ever allowed before were done to the places where Robert Bruce had been acknowledged as king, and his friends were hung as traitors wherever they were found; but Bruce himself could not be caught. He was living a wild life among the lakes and hills; and Edward, who was an old man now, had been taken so ill at Carlisle, that he could not come on to keep his own strict rule among his men. All the winter he lay sick there; and in the spring he heard that Bruce, whom he thought quite crushed, had suddenly burst upon the English, defeated them, and was gathering strength every day.
Edward put on his armor and set out for Scotland; but at Burgh-on- the-Sands his illness came on again, and he died there at seventy years old.
He was buried in Westminster Abbey, under a great block of stone, and the inscription on it only says, "Edward I., 1308 - The Hammer of the Scots - Keep Treaties." His good wife, Queen Eleanor, had died many years before him, and was also buried at Westminster. All the way from Grantham, in Lincolnshire - where she died - to London, Edward set up a beautiful stone cross wherever her body rested for the night - fifteen of them - but only three are left now.

Home/Politics/Differences between Decree Law and Legislative Decree
Differences between Decree Law and Legislative Decree
We can say that, in the legal system, there are different types of laws or regulations dictated by the Executive Power (Government). Both the decree law and the legislative decree are regulations with the force of law. They are called that because they are not laws per se, since a law is a legal norm that can only be approved by Congress and promulgated by the President of the Republic in use of his powers.
In the same order of ideas, the characteristics and applications of the decree law and the legislative decree will be described in this article, as well as the fundamental differences that exist between each of them for the consideration of the readers.
📌 What is a Decree Law?
A decree law is a norm with the rank of law, issued by the Executive Power, without the intervention or prior authorization of a congress or parliament. For this reason, it is an absolutely extraordinary norm that, generally, is regulated in the national constitution of each country.
In this sense, a decree law is issued by the Executive Power (President) in cases of extraordinary and urgent need for a provisional time, which will be evaluated by the congress or parliament in a period after its promulgation with the intention of approving it or repeal it. Thus, if approved, a decree law does not become law, since it continues to have certain limitations since its enactment, such as its cause, subject matter and effectiveness.
It is worth noting that the decree laws may not affect the ordering of the organizations and basic institutions of the state or the rights, duties and freedoms of citizens. In some countries governed by parliamentary monarchies, the decree laws are called Royal Decree Law, since they are sanctioned and promulgated by the King or Queen, as Head of State.
📌 What is a Legislative Decree?
A legislative decree is a legal norm with the rank of law that emanates from the Executive Power by virtue of an express delegation made by the legislative power. In other words, the decree law is issued by the Executive Power only by delegation of the Legislative Power, that is, the Congress delegates to the Executive Power (President) the power to legislate on specific matters, in order to approve legal devices quickly and only in certain matters and for a certain period.
On the other hand, legislative decrees can be reversed in two ways, either through an ordinary law (to consolidate legal texts) or through a basic law (to make a new text). Likewise, it has its function in various areas both for the preparation of articulated texts, having previously approved by parliament a basic law that serves as a reference and limit framework and for the preparation of consolidated texts of various laws favoring the compilation of different scattered legal norms .
To conclude, the legislative decree is issued autonomously and does not require approval or repeal by Congress. In some countries governed by parliamentary monarchies, legislative decrees are called Royal Legislative Decree, since they are approved by the Government under prior express delegation of the Cortes.
📌Differences between Decree Law and Legislative Decree
The Decree Law is a norm with the rank of law, emanating from the Executive Power (President), without the intervention or prior authorization of a Congress or Parliament, while a Legislative Decree is a legal norm with the rank of law that emanates from the Power Executive by virtue of express delegation made by the Legislative Power.
The Decree Law will be evaluated by the congress or parliament in a period after its promulgation with the intention of approving or repealing it, while the Legislative Decree can be reversed through an ordinary law or through a basic law.

Have you ever wondered what your friends actually do for work? We're not talking about the description in their LinkedIn bio, but what they actually do in their 9-5. As part of our mission to bring you more girl boss content, we're investigating job titles to get the low-down on exactly what they really entail. Curious to know what being an account executive even means? Wondering what a VP in finance does in the afternoon? We're creating more transparency around different jobs, and the salaries and duties that come with them, to help you figure out what you're interested in. Today, read how a nanny living in Denver spends her workday.
Being a nanny is so much more than people think. I despise being called a babysitter. A nanny is a caretaker, teacher, parent, sibling, nurse…all wrapped up in one. Household management is sort of like being a personal assistant, but to an entire family at once. You plan travel, coordinate meetings, do the meal planning, schedule play dates, interact with teachers, and even hire other household employees such as maids and event planners. Oftentimes you educate parents on how to parent – that may sound uncomfortable but that's why you were hired! I specialize in first year care and have been hired by some first time parents to walk them through that uncertain first couple of years in a child's life.
I wake up each day around 6am, and go through a very quick morning routine. I like to sleep in. Because I'm working with kids all day I usually don't do much to my hair or makeup. Cleanse, moisturize, and spf, maybe concealer if I really need it, but working with kids, I assume at some point during the day I'll end up with food or art supplies splattered on my face. I eat breakfast and take my coffee to go. I'm at work a little before 7am to wake my charges and start getting them ready for school. I get the kids ready while their mom gets ready for work. Dad is gone by the time I arrive. Mornings are by far the most hectic part of the day, making breakfasts, packing lunches, and making sure everyone knows their schedule for the day.
By now I have taken the bigger kids to school and have my youngest charge back at the family home. She is 18 months old. She will generally be ready for her first nap by 10am, so we have a snack and read books to get her prepped for that. During her nap I make any phone calls or arrangements I need to for the week. Part of my job is doing inventory on the groceries and making sure supplies like diapers are stocked. I also keep track of the kids' schedules. I have 4 children under my care in my current position, aged 18 months to 12.
By 11am the toddler is awake. She is usually eager to do something fun, so we get her dressed and then head to the city to go to the park, the library, the zoo, or a science museum. Midday with the little one is my favorite part of the day. She's easy to get along with and it's a nice break to hang with only one kid between the madness of before school and after school. I also tend to get a lot of casual exercise during this time, chasing her around. My favorite nannying jobs are actually working with just one kid. I think they tend to get more out of this type of childcare, since it is very personalized.
I find it almost impossible to eat lunch with the kids around. I spend so much time getting theirs ready and getting them fed I don't have much time for myself. Often my lunch is just scraps of theirs! On days I only have the toddler at lunch time, we'll pop into a little restaurant to eat. Sometimes I'll pack her lunch if we won't be anywhere where I can get her something healthy. I have $200 cash per week for the kids' meals and activities (paying to get into a museum for instance), but a lot of that goes to eating meals on-the-go since the youngest is growing up a bit and doesn't want to stay home all day.
Gearing up to pick up the preschooler, who is 4. She is done with school at 1:30pm, and generally leaves her school exhausted. We have a snack and do something quiet like go to the library or a duck pond. Oftentimes she ends up sleeping through this period of time. If I need to pick anything up for the house I usually take the girls with me to run errands.
Picking up the older children and heading back to the house. Things start to get hectic again. The older kids are usually rowdy after school but need to get their homework done. All four siblings together can be a little wild. I put the toddler down for another nap and the four-year-old usually colors or plays outside while the big kids do homework. I make some kind of snack to hold them over. The kids have been really into all kinds of creative snacks so I dedicate a Pinterest board to this purpose alone so I don't run out of ideas.
Meeting with the kids' mom. Mom arrives home at 5, or I meet her with the kids somewhere. When we meet out we usually get drinks and she covers the cost so I don't mind. We get along really well and I find that a good relationship with the parents is the most important aspect of a nannying job. We go over the kids' days, figure things out for the rest of the week, discuss any issues or ongoing plans with each kid and with other employees in the house, and then part ways.
I'm usually done by 6pm at the latest, sometimes even by 5:15pm if there isn't much to discuss with the parents.
I go to bed around 9:30pm or 10pm at night. I generally shower before bed (or even right after work) because, like I said, my job can can get messy! I do my skincare routine, make tea, and usually binge watch Netflix with my husband. We both wake up early for work so we can't stay up late like we used to.
Is there anything about your job that you'd like people to know?
Nannying is much more complex than babysitting, and I think that is important for people to realize. I have been a full-time nanny for years now and I can't even compare it to the date night babysitting I did as a teenager. People seem confused that this is what I've done after college, but I find the work rewarding, and it pays well. People don't think of nannying as a "real job" but when you stick with it and gain the experience to do it professionally, it becomes one! Nannies are often the people who have the most influence on a child. In my case, I spend more time with the kids than their parents do. If you're looking to become a professional nanny, keep more than the day-to-day in mind – you will get attached to children who are not your own, and form a lifelong bond with them. This makes for a rewarding but sometimes high pressure line of work!

Chapter 8 12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?28 And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Chapter 9 1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

I love handprint art as you can see from my pinterest board full of hand and footprint art ideas...so, we decided to make Christmas trees. My five year old made hers all on her own (she got a little wild and crazy as you'll see below, but hey it's a work of art), while I helped my two year old. He was more than happy to get his hands all over the paint!
I had the kids work on cardstock so just the paint didn't bleed through and the paper didn't curl. I poured a blob of green finger paint on a paper plate and dipped my son's hand in it. Then I used a small brush to make sure his fingers were completely covered.
Then we simply pressed his hand onto the paper. We did about three prints before we re-loaded with more paint. Once the green formed the tree I let him add some fingerprint ornaments to his tree. He did this part all by himself. I'm pretty impressed with how it turned out. His favorite part was mixing all the paint - red, green, and blue - on the paper plate together so we could make brown for the stump. I painted the stump with a brush.
I framed the handprint Christmas tree in a white frame that I already had on hand. Aren't these trees just too cute?!
I just love framing the kids' masterpieces - in fact I have a whole kids art wall gallery in the playroom.
I apologize for the lack of photos in this post, but it's a little tough to take pictures while trying to control a crazy 2 year old with a palm-full of paint!

Police say terror attack in London, reports of fatalities
British media reported that more than one person had been killed in the rampage
By Danica Kirka and Jill Lawless
LONDON — Terrorism struck at the heart of London, police said Sunday, after a vehicle veered off the road and mowed down pedestrians on London Bridge and gunshots rang out amid reports of knife attacks at nearby Borough Market.
The violence turned a summery Saturday night in an area packed with bars and restaurants into a scene of panic and chaos, with officers running through crowded streets screaming for people to flee and lifeboats drafted to help clear the area.

Police said multiple casualties were reported, and British media reported that more than one person had been killed in the rampage.
Prime Minister Theresa May said it was a potential act of terrorism and the Metropolitan Police force said it had declared the attacks as "terrorist incidents."
Police said they were called just after 10 p.m. (2100GMT) to reports of a vehicle hitting pedestrians on the bridge, which crosses the River Thames in central London.
Soon after, there were reported stabbings at nearby Borough Market, an area full of bars and restaurants.
The force said armed officers were sent to the scenes and shots were fired. They did not say if officers fired the shots.
The force initially said officers were also responding to a reported third incident, in the Vauxhall area of London. But they said later that turned out to be an unrelated stabbing.

— Fox News (@FoxNews) June 3, 2017
The force tweeted a warning telling people in the area to run to safety, hide and then call police if it is safe to do so.
May said that "following updates from police and security officials, I can confirm that the terrible incident in London is being treated as a potential act of terrorism."
She said it was a fast-moving investigation and her thoughts were with "those who are caught up in these dreadful events."
May's office said she would chair a meeting of the government's COBRA emergency committee on Sunday.
About two hours after the first reports of an incident, television images showed people walking away from the London Bridge area with their hands on their heads. Police tweeted that Londoners should "remain calm but be alert and vigilant."
Nick Brandon of British Transport Police said the force had received reports of "multiple" casualties. He said he did not know how serious the injuries were.
Multiple witnesses reported a vehicle veering off the road and hitting several pedestrians; others also said they saw at least one man with a large knife.
Witnesses reported seeing injured people on the ground on the bridge. One, Holly Jones, told the BBC a white van veered off the road and struck as many as six people. She said she saw at least four or five people on the ground.

Another witness, Will Heaven, said he saw people who appeared to have been hit, and one being put into an ambulance.
"We saw injured people on the road, injured people on the pavement," he told Sky News.
Soon after, reports came in of stabbings around Borough Market, just steps away from the bridge.
A man who gave only his first name, Ben, told BBC radio that he "saw a man in red with a large blade, at a guess 10 inches long, stabbing a man, about three times" near Borough Market.
Other witnesses reported seeing as many as three attackers with knives.
Gerard Vowls, 47, told The Guardian newspaper that he saw a woman being stabbed by three men at the south end of London Bridge. He said he threw chairs, glasses and bottles at the attackers in a bid to stop them.
"They kept coming to try to stab me . they were stabbing everyone. Evil, evil people," he told the newspaper. "I want to know if this girl is still alive. I've been walking around for an hour and a half crying my eyes out. I don't know what to do."
Medics treated people lying injured on the ground near the market as shocked people cried and shouted around them. Police officers yelled at people to run from the area.

— CNN Breaking News (@cnnbrk) June 3, 2017
Simon Thompson told Sky News that he was just outside Borough Market when he saw crowds fleeing.
"We ran for like 100 meters and then saw loads of police cars turned up and there was kind of a period of quite intense gunfire," he said. "I hid in a restaurant basement for about an hour. ... Police told us to get out and then there was more gunfire."
The Sun newspaper, whose offices are beside London Bridge, reported hearing explosions about three hours after the attacks began. It said the blasts were believed to be controlled explosions carried out by police.
As thousands of people flooded from the area — many unable to get home with nearby subway stations shut — locals were quick to offer assistance.
Phaldip Singh, who describes himself as an entrepreneur and youth activist, tweeted that Sikh Gurdwaras were open to provide food and shelter for those affected by the attacks. Gurdwaras are places of worship that traditionally serve simple meals to anyone, regardless of their religion.
The Royal Oak pub, near the attack site, opened its doors to people evacuated from hotels inside the area cordoned off by police. And at least one cab company tweeted an offer of free rides for people stranded in the area.
If confirmed as terrorism, this will be the third attack to hit Britain in as many months.
In March, a British convert to Islam ran down people with a vehicle on Westminster Bridge, killing four, then stabbed a policeman to death outside Parliament.
On May 22, a British suicide bomber killed 22 people and injured dozens at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. After that attack, Britain's official threat level from terrorism was raised to "critical," meaning an attack may be imminent. Several days later it was lowered to "severe," meaning an attack is highly likely.
A charity concert for victims of the Manchester attack, featuring Grande and other stars, is due to be held in the northwest English city on Sunday.

Seattle - The Global Sawlog Price Index (GSPI) increased for the fourth consecutive quarter in the 2Q/13 to reach US$86.60/m3. The Index, which is based on sawlog prices in 20 regions around the world, has gone up 5.1 percent year-over-year and was at its highest level since the last quarter of 2011, according to the Wood Resource Quarterly (www.woodprices.com).
The largest log price increases the past year have been in regions that are exporting logs or lumber to China, including the Western US, Western Canada and New Zealand. Prices for Douglas-fir and hemlock sawlogs in the Western US have gone up 21 percent and 15 percent, respectively, from the 2Q/12 to the 2Q/13, while prices in Western Canada and New Zealand were up 13 percent and 6 percent, respectively, over the same period. Exportation of logs and lumber from North America to Asia reached a new high in the 2Q/13 when over 700 million dollars worth of products were shipped over the Pacific Ocean.
The high production rates at the sawmills in Western Canada and Western US plus the large volumes of logs that were leaving the West coast for China, Japan and South Korea have caused an upward price pressure on sawlogs in the region for the past few years, with prices almost doubling since 2009, as reported in the WRQ. During the first seven months of 2013, US west coast log export volumes to Asia were up 29 % percent compared to the same period in 2012.
Shipments to China have continued to increase with log volumes being 47 percent higher than the same period last year. Exports to Japan were also higher but only by about ten percent. If this pace continues, 2013 will be the best year on record for log exporters on the US west coast since the mid- 1990's.
With New Zealand becoming the world's largest log exporter, prices for sawlogs in the country have gone up dramatically the past five years and in the 2Q/13 were almost double those in 2009. New Zealand has surpassed Russia in 2013 to become the largest softwood log supplier to China.
Outside of North America and Oceania, sawlog prices were generally lower in the 2Q/13 because of weaker lumber markets. The biggest declines from 1Q/13 occurred in Northern and Eastern Europe.

Q: Speed up mongorestore rebuilding indexes I'm restoring a database from mongodump with mongorestore and it takes hours. Most of this time is spent building indexes on large collections.
Is there any option of mongodump or mongorestore I can use to speed things up?
A: You could try the --noIndexRestore option of mongorestore, and then create the indexes later in background.

Disclaimer: everyone's skin is different, so what works for me might not work for you and that's ok! I have a friend who tried raw honey as a cleanser and it made her face really itchy, but oils work just fine. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out just what's right for you!
Last week I shared with whoever was reading the change in my makeup routine. It was sweet to read some of the comments from my friends on Facebook about how they are happy with how they look as well. It's nice to look in the mirror and not hate what you see! I've had several conversations over the last few weeks about what I use to wash my face. Back when I was making Beard Sauce, I would use a variation of the beardly recipe to use for my own skin, which ended up turning into Broad Sauce. Sidenote: Beard Sauce was a beard oil I created because Daniel has had a huge beard for a decade, and the oil took away the itch and the dandruff. It also made it look good and smell nice too. It was an all natural product with no synthetic ingredients, and I also created a female version for a total body oil cleanse. It was a magical product. Due to buying a house, finding out we were pregnant and me planning on started to informally home school Abe, we decided to close up the Beard/Broad Sauce shop. Ending the business was a hard/sad decision, but if it was going to continue to grow, it would have required way more out of me than I was willing to give. However, it was a fantastic experience and so much fun!
I've been oil cleansing for over two years now, and I don't think I can ever go back to store bought facial cleansers. I've used all kinds of variations and recipes to clean my face and hydrate my skin, but if I'm feeling lazy and don't really want to pull out the beakers and syringes, I just spoon a blob of coconut oil in a little dish and use that to wash my face.
Recently, I've read several things on washing your face with raw honey. It seemed like a great idea, and I'm always looking for something new to try. You do have to be careful, though, about what you try on your face. I read this one thing about using coffee grounds on your face, but after a little more research, it turned out to be more harmful than helpful, as coffee grounds are too rough and can cut your skin.
I use regular and raw honey for all kinds of things in the kitchen, and I've never had any kind of reaction to it. In fact, local honey has always helped me with my allergies. The stuff, especially in its raw form, is filled with antiviral, anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, and is also considered a superfood. The "grit" in raw honey didn't seem too harsh, but more like the feel of sugar.
I decided to try it out about a month ago. I put a small amount of organic raw honey (Trader Joe's Brand) in a tiny bowl and took it into the bathroom. I ran the water so that it would get warm, but didn't wet my face. I rubbed the honey onto my face the same as one would use a regular cleanser. and it was thick and exfoliating. I had to quickly dab my hand under the water to dilute the honey a little bit so it would spread better. Ladies- this simple process felt so good. After washing my face for a minute, I rinsed off the honey with just my hands and the warm water, and then pat-dried my face with a towel. I could tell immediately that my face felt tighter and very smooth, but not at all dry. I looked in the mirror and noticed my skin seemed just a smidgen lighter as well.
So far, raw honey leaves my face feeling better than anything I've ever used before. I've been cleansing with it for about a month now, alternating with the coconut oil every now and then (especially if I have the honey bee foundation and mascara on), because the coconut oil is way better at makeup removal than the honey is. I also don't wash my face everyday, for two reasons: 1) I'm lazy and 2) it's not necessary if you're not stripping your face of its natural oils with store bought cleanser. Before I started using natural methods to cleanse, my face would get SO OILY only a mere few hours after I'd washed and pampered it. I found out several years ago that the reason that was happening was because the cleansers I was buying off of the Walmart shelves were not only removing bacteria (in a harsh way), but they were also stripping my skin of its natural properties, leaving it to overcompensate by producing more oil, hence the oily skin. Now that I've been over two years strong using oils and now raw honey, my face just doesn't get oily anymore. I mean, it would require me going at least 4 days without washing to start showing signs of oily-ness. But I typically don't wait that long to wash my face anyway.
So, that's my current face cleansing routine. It's cheaper, as a jar of organic raw honey from Trader Joe's is only $5.99. It runs you about the same as a bottle of cleanser, but you blow through that cleanser way faster than you do the jar of honey. I don't have to buy any moisturizers to make up for the post-wash dry skin, and I don't have to buy astringent and oil blotting wipes to take away the oily-ness. My routine is so much more simple than it used to be, and in a life that is constantly bombarded by complexities and more stuff, I like all of the simplicity I can get.

Business everywhere is slowing down to a crawl, like a big rig truck that has run out of gas and is coasting down the road on momentum alone. Eventually it will come to a dead stop.
But you shouldn't worry at all.
Your Congressman won't suffer the least little bit. His salary will be deposited in his bank right on time, come fair weather or foul, sickness or health, on the job, sick at home, out fishing or laying dead drunk in his driveway. His check won't stop.
The price of gasoline and heating oil is probably going to rise because the good folks at the EPA really do loathe, detest and despise the icky stuff, petroleum, and are doing everything in their power, and a lot of things that aren't, to starve the vile, evil, greedy bloodsucking BIG OIL, out of business. Then we can all drift through a dreamy world of peace and harmony powered by butterfly wings and Pixie dust. Of course this will slow whats left of the economy down, kill off ten million jobs or so, but don't you worry at all; The virtuous folks at the EPA won't lose any of their benefits, they will keep coming like clockwork. After all, you can't expect them to do THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB IN HUMAN HISTORY, if they have to worry about their security, now can you?
All of those folks are doing just fine.
That certainly is a load off my mind.

22 Spooky Facts About The Queen Mary
By Candice Zhang Updated February 6, 2021
Russ Allison Loar, CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons
The Queen Mary first started as an ocean liner in May 1936 between Europe and the United States. After more than three decades of operating, she retired from the transportation industry and slowly became a widely known hotel in Long Beach, California. But the Queen Mary was far from a normal place where couples and newlyweds would mingle; soon enough, others discovered the hidden ghosts who roamed around the ship. Want to know more about this phenomenon? Here are 22 spooky facts about the Queen Mary and it's hauntings for those adventurous explorers.
1. When the ship launched in 1934, an English psychic named Lady Mable Fortiscue-Harrison said that "The Queen Mary will know her greatest fame and popularity when she never sails another mile or carries another fare-paying passenger."
2. Queen Mary was known as the "Grey Ghost" during World War II due to the ghastly color on the exterior and the rapid speed.
3. During a war-time expedition in 1942, a smaller boat was driving in front of Queen Mary to help spot enemy ships. However, the Queen Mary ended up over-speeding and crushing the smaller boat, which killed over 300 people.
4. Times Magazine placed the Queen Mary in the Top 10 rankings for the most Haunted Places in 2008.
5. The ship has been featured on two TV shows for investigation; SYFY Channel's Ghost Hunters and the British TV series Most Haunted.
6. More than 15 films used the ship and her interiors as a prop. For example, the Queen Mary was filmed as the Titanic in S.O.S. Titanic and was also seen on Assault on a Queen and the X-Files.
7. The most notoriously haunted Stateroom B340 costs around $499 for one night of stay and was closed for 25 years.
8. Guests who choose to stay in Stateroom B340 have the option to play with unique items such as a Ouija board, tarot cards, and a crystal ball.
9. Even during the final voyage in 1967, guests complained about hearing knocks on their door in the middle of the night, bathroom lights turning on by themselves, and doors slamming shut in Stateroom B340. These complaints still continue today.
10. In 1948, a passenger named Walter J. Adamson passed away in Stateroom B340. His ghost can still be seen today next to the bed.
11. There were reported to be around 49 deaths on board the Queen Mary, including an engineer and a child who drowned in the pool.
12. Another supposedly haunted room is the Mauritania Room. Legend states that in 1989, two women were cleaning the VIP reception and saw a passenger sitting on a chair in the middle of the dance floor. As soon as a third worker entered to clean the room, she told the two other women that the passenger had asked her to move and was staring at the workers. When the three women called security, the passenger vanished into thin air.
13. Guests and workers have also reported hauntings at The Mayfair Room, which was previously the ship's beauty salon. Even though the room has been converted into an office, employees continue to spot a lady in white roaming past the desks, especially when they arrive early in the morning.
14. Although The First Class Swimming Pool is now being renovated, people have seen many ghosts appear and vanish at the site. Some of these include a young woman in a tennis skirt, another woman in a wedding gown standing next to a little boy, and a little girl wearing a blue and white dress.
15. Guests have even reported hauntings at the Boiler Room #4. A little girl playing with a doll apparently meanders around.
16. A chef who was brutally murdered by soldiers still haunts the kitchen.
17. When the Buzzfeed team visited the Queen Mary, they heard a lot of suspicious sounds, such as knocks and glass breaking.
18. Theatrical shows such as Illusions of the Passed, A Theatrical Séance have taken place in the Queen Mary.
19. People have also spotted the fireman — a man in dark clothes with a beard who was crushed underneath a door during a drill.
20. Guests can book a tour at night ranging from a dinner at an award-winning restaurant, a ship walk to explore the haunted locations, or a paranormal investigation with thrill seekers.
21. For Halloween parties and family trips, the Queen Mary offers an annual tradition which includes mazes, concessions, DJs, and a costume ball.
22. Death records weren't kept from World War II, which indicates that more people may have died on the ship and continue to haunt on it. Some of them may not have been spotted… as of yet.

Play for Pay? Not Today, Says the Ninth Circuit in the Latest NCAA Ruling
Higher Education, Sports and Entertainment
Lisa Karen Atkins Birmingham Author
Whether the amateurism rules of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) violate federal antitrust laws remains an active issue before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. But the dramatic changes ordered by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken to take effect for scholarship offers made starting on August 1, 2015, have been stayed by the Ninth Circuit panel considering the NCAA's appeal.
In O'Bannon v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Judge Wilken had ordered that the NCAA could no longer enforce its rules limiting payments to athletes and directed the NCAA to allow its members to pay male Division I football and basketball players up to $5,000 per year for "the licensing or use of … [their] names, images, and likenesses" in addition to the federally-defined "cost of attendance." Judge Wilken denied the NCAA's request for a stay pending the NCAA's appeal; the Ninth Circuit heard oral argument on the case on March 17, 2015.
The plaintiffs and the NCAA had jointly moved that Judge Wilken's injunction should take effect for scholarship offers made to players who would enroll after July 1, 2016. The first date for colleges to send written scholarship offer letters to student-athletes scheduled to enroll after July 1, 2016, would have been August 1, 2015.
In its July 17, 2015 motion for stay, the NCAA argued that the changes ordered by Judge Wilken would radically alter the amateurism which NCAA considers an essential quality of college sports, and "fundamentally alter the way in which colleges recruit high school students." The Ninth Circuit's terse order granted the stay "to preserve the status quo until this court's mandate has issued."
Based partly on the Supreme Court's decision in National Collegiate Athletic Association v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma, 468 U.S. 85 (1984)—which addressed the NCAA's monopoly on television rights to collegiate football games—the NCAA argued that the district court had erred by failing to protect amateurism in college sports. In its 1984 decision, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled against the NCAA, holding that it had engaged in restraint of trade. However, the court also stated that "in order to preserve the character and quality of the [NCAA's] 'product,' athletes must not be paid." Lawyers for the NCAA echoed this sentiment, arguing, "If allowed to take effect, the injunction would radically alter an essential quality of college sports, amateurism."
As a result of the stay, the NCAA will not implement any changes to its rules in response to the district court's injunction at this time. The Ninth Circuit—or, as hinted at by the NCAA, the Supreme Court—will determine whether players ultimately will be paid for the use of their names, images, or likenesses in addition to being eligible to receive scholarships which, beginning in the 2015 fall semester, may cover their full cost of attending school.
COVID-19 and the Pros and Cons of Paid Leave Donations and Leave-Sharing Policies in California
Unfortunately, given the fast spread of the disease, it is now not uncommon for employers to have at least one employee who has contracted COVID-19, forcing the employee to take extended time off from work. In many cases, these employees will not have enough paid time off available to keep them paid until they are able to return to work. In some workplaces, generous co-workers are willing to donate their paid time off to the sick employee, and employers are exploring ways to implement paid-time-off donation or leave-sharing policies. As with everything in California, paid-time-off donation and leave-sharing policies present challenges and, if not implemented correctly, could come back to haunt the employer and the employees.
Ontario Government Passes New Regulation on COVID-19 Layoffs
According to Statistics Canada, two in five employers in Canada have reduced hours or laid off one or more employees since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis. One of the risks associated with those difficult decisions is a constructive dismissal claim that would trigger statutory notice and severance requirements under provincial employment standard legislation and under the common law. Ontario's government has now taken a major step to prevent claims under its Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA) resulting from COVID-19.

6 PM News Reporting
I sat back and watched the story of the "Freedom Convoy" unfold last night. Roger's Adrian Ghobrial did an excellent report on it. He covered the donations troubles, the appearance of extremist groups hijacking it, mentioned how the USA is asking the same, did interviews and even had experts from academia giving their views! Meanwhile, over at CFTO, one of the most experienced reporters in the game, Austin Delaney, just gave me a "what they say" microphone in the gob of some boob report, at some kind of location outdoors of course. What a let down. Bell has fallen big, especially when one of their finest reporters ends up delivering crap like that. And I don't blame him. He's great.
Mavridis
Re: 6 PM News Reporting
Why are you blaming Bell and not the reporter? He could have had access to all the same elements and people as City, right? And it's not like CTV had to scramble last minute to do the story - they had all day, didn't they?
Mavridis wrote:
It's more their entire approach these days. With few exceptions, they lack the depth they used to have. Their coverage of many issues has been little more than sound bytes. Even their reporting of the COVID numbers lacks context, seemingly shouting big numbers every day without perspective or analysis has been the rule. For example, until recently the 7-day rolling average number of cases was the most relevant and the best they do is avoid that and read raw numbers from a PowerPoint slide. Increasing? Decreasing? They can't be bothered to say. Anybody who has done presentations knows that's the way to bore people to death.

I think it is more of a problem internally with the local CTV Toronto news team. CP24 and CTV News Channel generally do a good job, as does the network. CTV News Toronto seems sloppy and the on air staff sometimes have an uncaring attitude what they are actually putting on the air. I have seen anchors absolutely butcher a sports story or weather forecast. They obviously don't like having to do these things occasionally but they should show more professionalism and make more of an effort. It makes them look bad and their competition better.

What is Adobe Premiere Pro for Mac?
Adobe Premiere Pro is an application for video editing. It has an array of tools designed to allow its user to edit videos in a sophisticated manner. It can be used for both quick editing jobs, and more in-depth projects.
What file formats are compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro for Mac?
Unlike its Windows counterpart, the Mac version of Premiere Pro is unable to work with the WMV, ASF, ICO or PREL file formats. Beyond this, however, it is compatible with all widely-used video, image and sound formats. A Mac user who avoids the Windows-only formats should have little or no trouble with compatibility.
Is Adobe Premiere Pro used professionally?
Yes. Many smaller-scale filmmakers and studios use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit professional film and television productions. The popular 2014 film Gone Girl, for example, was cut and edited entirely in Adobe Premiere Pro.
What is the difference between Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects?
Adobe After Effects is used mainly for altering videos directly thorough the use of effects and other additions, rather than cutting and editing. Adobe Premiere Pro has fewer tools for creating effects, but is more powerful as an editing application. The two applications work well when used in conjunction.
What is the difference between Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Premiere Elements?
Adobe Premiere Elements is a scaled-down version of Adobe Premiere Pro which contains fewer features but is available at a much lower price. It is best suited to novices or general users who want a budget option for editing videos.
Motion graphics templates offer a quick and simple method of adding eye-catching effects to an Adobe Premiere project. They come in many forms, and can be modified to fit the project. A typical usage of a motion graphics template is to add an animated opening card with customised text.
What's new in the latest release of Adobe Premiere Pro?
The latest version of Premiere Pro includes support for Variable Frame Rate, increased compatibility with video formats, more sophisticated font styling, the ability to adapt an existing project into a shared project alias, and more. It also includes a range of bug fixes.
Does Adobe Premiere Pro for Mac support high-resolution Retina display?
Yes. Although earlier versions of the Adobe CC suite had compatibility issues with the MacBook Pro Retina, the current version is fully compatible.
The Essential Graphics Panel is a tool that allows the user to create graphics for their projects using elements such as shapes, text, and video. It is particularly useful for creating title cards or credit sequences.
What are the best export settings on Adobe Premiere Pro for Mac?
This depends largely on how you hope to distribute your finished video, as DVD, big screen, television and online distribution will require different considerations. these days, a typical user will be uploading their video to YouTube or similar websites, in which case the best export settings will be a Quicktime container, the h.264 video condec, and quality at 100%.

Z259.13-16 (R2020)
Manufactured horizontal lifeline systems
SKU: 2423278 Published by CSA Group Publication Year 2016 Reaffirmed in 2020 46 pages
View Access
View Access for this document is only available for viewers in Canada
Preface/Scope
This is the second edition of CSA Z259.13, Manufactured horizontal lifeline systems. It supersedes the previous edition published in 2004 under the title of Flexible horizontal lifeline systems.
This Standard provides performance requirements for manufactured horizontal lifeline systems designed to arrest the accidental fall of an individual working from height.
Changes to this edition include the following:
a) consistent use of the term horizontal lifeline system (HLL system);
b) limiting the scope to include only those HLL systems where the energy absorber deploys to 80% or less (i.e., the energy absorber does not bottom-out);
c) applicability of the Standard to single span HLL system only;
d) updating of the reference publications;
e) updating of the definitions; and
f) revisions to the test procedures.
CSA Group acknowledges that the development of this Standard was made possible, in part, by the financial support of the Canadian government departments responsible for occupational health and safety.
This Standard specifies requirements related to the performance, design, testing, labelling, and provision of instructions for manufactured single-span horizontal lifeline systems (HLL systems) (see Figure 1). These HLL systems are a component of a complete system for fall arrest.
This Standard does not apply to
a) HLL systems
i) with span lengths greater than 18.3 m (60 ft);
ii) with more than one span (see Annex A);
iii) that support more than two workers;
iv) that are custom designed for limited or site-specific applications as designed in accordance
with CSA Z259.16;
v) with slopes greater than 5° from the horizontal;
vi) with no horizontal lifeline energy absorber (HLLEA);
vii) used for travel restraint;
viii) used for work positioning; or
ix) that incorporate HLLEA that deploy more than 80% when tested as specified in Clause 8.3.2.2;
b) guardrail or hand line systems that are made of flexible materials such as cables, chains, or ropes; or
c) rigid horizontal lifeline systems such as rigid rail and beam systems.
This Standard does not cover the design of HLL system anchorages covered by CSA Z259.16.
This Standard does not address any fall-protection equipment attached to the HLL system.
In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.
Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.
Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.
Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.

In a continously changing economic environment, companies see themselves confronted with a growing number of uncertainties. Here, material losses and missed opportunities represent the main sources of risk for the achievement of the corporate goals. The highest priority therefore has to be to identify the risks of a company on an ongoing basis and control them continuously.
We at RSM support companies of different sizes and industries with their activities to identify and control risks in order not only to implement statutory requirements, but also to create sustainable added value by means of the efficient and effective handling of risks. We consider it as our challenge to set-up a dynamic risk management system which is in line with the economic needs of your company and secures your future success.
Together with you, we design a company-wide risk management system which can be integrated into the business and management processes. Such a risk management system serves as a central control tool for strategic and operational corporate management and results in efficiency improvements of the internal auditing function.
The precondition for a successful risk management system is the embedding of an appropriate risk culture in all levels of the company. The management and employees must understand and internalize the specific risk management approach of the organization. As risk management responsibility is distributed over the entire organization, the training of all involved employees is an essential success factor.

The 73-year-old pleaded guilty last Friday to conveying a hoax and false information, prosecutors said. His actions stem from a 45-year grudge Carter held against the regulator, which he blamed for ruining his career as a harness racing driver, according to court documents.
In 1976, the NYSGC suspended Carter from racing for around a month to investigate allegations of cheating. He was subsequently cleared and his license reinstated.
Threatening Phone Calls
Despite moving to Las Vegas and enjoying a successful poker career, Carter has, periodically, over the course of the last 45 years, telephoned the NYSGC to accuse them of shattering his racing ambitions. The agency had responded with letters confirming he was not suspended from the sport, prosecutors said.
These calls became more threatening between October 2017 and November 2019. For example, shortly after the October 1 Las Vegas massacre, Carter left a message on the agency's answerphone, declaring, "Well, it looks like the shooter in Las Vegas missed you guys. As long as you're not available, you should be made permanently not available."
In another message, he described NYSGC employees as "evil, dishonest people" and "unprosecuted criminals."
Between 2019 and 2021, Carter sent four envelopes containing white powder and other substances to NYSGC offices in Schenectady, court documents state. These were treated as hazardous chemicals that required law enforcement and HAMZAT intervention.
Under lab analysis they turned out to be harmless substances, including sugar, birdseed, talcum powder, drywall, and dirt.
$3M in Poker Winnings
When interviewed by the FBI, the poker player said the 1976 suspension affected him so badly that "I still have nightmares that I can't find my horses."
"I think sometimes, if you try to make a point by being funny, it can create more trouble," he conceded, before adding that all his interactions with the NYSGC had proved to be "hazardous materials to his life."
As a poker player, Carter won his first WSOP bracelet in 1991 (Seven-Card Stud) and the second in 1994 (Omaha High). A year later he finished third in the Main Event. He has gross tournament winnings of over $3 million in a career spanning at least 37 years, according to the Hendon Mob Database.
Carter is scheduled to be sentenced May 19. Both parties have submitted a joint sentencing recommendation calling for up to three years of supervised release.

Are You Building Nimbleness into Your Marketing Plan?
In 2013, when the lights went out on the Super Bowl, advertising's biggest stage was upstaged by a single tweet from Oreo. Imagine the shock from the huge brands who had spent millions of dollars for 30 seconds of fame when Oreo stole all the buzz with a single, well-timed tweet. Nobody could have predicted a blackout during the Super Bowl. But because Oreo was prepared and had a marketing infrastructure capable of responding quickly, they won.
Sometimes you can build out the most well-crafted marketing plan, account for every budget dollar, target every brand impression and report every scrap of measurable analytic and then, BAM! An opportunity arises or an idea sparks that you just can't afford to pass up. Executed right, it may have the impact to overshadow everything else you are doing. Nobody remembers the Oreo ad that actually ran in that same Super Bowl. But they do remember that tweet.
Remember the eclipse earlier this year? Of course you do. The media was obsessed with it for a couple weeks. Millions of Americans traveled thousands of miles to see this once-in-a-lifetime event. But just prior to that, millions of YouTube viewers (more than 2 million) also saw the "Banana Sun Announcement" and the lead-up teasers from Chiquita. Yes, a banana brand cleverly made itself relevant to one of the most talked about events of the year.
A brand awareness campaign connected to a rare event like an eclipse isn't something that nicely fits into a strategic marketing plan. But it was probably more memorable for the 2+ million viewers who saw it than any other Chiquita Banana marketing effort made this year (in fact, I can't recall ANY other Chiquita Banana marketing over the past 10 years besides the little labels on the bananas themselves).
Think this was something that was planned in the marketing war room of Chiquita bananas when they were putting together their marketing strategy for the next year. Maybe. But more than likely, it was something that was dreamt up a few months before, when a casual conversation between friends or coworkers turned to the topic of somebody taking vacation days to travel to see the full eclipse.
But these opportunities don't just result from an unpredictable mishap or natural event. They can even result from something the competition is doing.
For example, what happens when you realize that World Peace Day is almost upon you and there is an initiative to encourage competing brands to come together for just one day in the name of peace? Well, if you're Burger King, you punch up and offer to cooperate with your largest competitor to create the McWhopper. But if you're McDonald's and you're caught off guard you come out with a less-than-friendly response from the CEO. Guess who got the positive attention (and media)?
The best ideas don't always align neatly within marketing budgets and plans. Sometimes they are sparked by unique opportunities. Sometime they arise out of things your competitors are (or are not) doing. Sometimes they are just great ideas that evolved outside of the annual marketing strategy planning window.
It's great to have a well-conceived marketing plan that provides the backbone for your overall strategy. But while everyone else is striving to cruise control their marketing plans through marketing automation, it's often the crazy ideas that come up at the wrong time and don't fit "the plan" that are the ones that make the biggest impact. If you don't have flexibility and nimbleness in your marketing plan along with budgets, analytics and schedules, you could be missing some big opportunities.

John premiered Andrew Gant's opera Don't Go Down The Elephant After Midnight, with soloist Patricia Rozario, at the Tete-a-Tete Opera Festival, Hammersmith, on 2nd and 3rd July 2008. Repeat performances at Oxford, again with New Chamber Opera, were warmly received in November 2008.
Three members of Oxford University's Music faculty will be involved in the premiere of a new opera at a London festival this weekend.
Dr Andrew Gant, a lecturer at St Peters, has written the opera, Don't Go Down the Elephant After Midnight while Dr John Traill, Director of Music at St Anne's College and Lecturer in Music at St Catherine's College, will be conducting it and Dr Michael Burden, a Fellow and Tutor at New College will be directing.
The opera will be performed at the Tête-à-Tête Opera Festival in Hammersmith on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 August 2008. International opera star, Dame Patricia Rozario, a soprano, will be performing.
Don't Go Down the Elephant After Midnight is about Pat, a taxi driver who is obsessed by Mozart, and the real world of bus lanes and traffic becomes increasingly blurred with the Mozartian world in her head.
An eclectic sound-world recreates the strange, surreal mixture in Pat's head. Mozart plays on the stereo. The 'real' world is heard in the form of new music, sometimes super-imposed on the recorded Mozart, sometimes free-standing. The sonic paraphernalia of modern life plays a part in this sound-world too: car-horns, ring-tones, sat-navs and police-cars.
Dr Gant, who has been Organist, Choirmaster and Composer at Her Majesty's Chapel Royal since 2000, has also composed A British Symphony, which is being performed by the Philharmonica Orchestra on Monday 4 August 2008.

Hong Kong June 4 vigil organizers to disband amid crackdown
September 25, 2021 GMT

HONG KONG (AP) — The Hong Kong group that had organized annual vigils in remembrance of victims of the Chinese military's crushing of the 1989 Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests voted to disband Saturday amid an ongoing crackdown on independent political activism in the semi-autonomous city.
Police had notified the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China last month that it was under investigation for working for foreign interests, an accusation the group denied.
While it called the probe an abuse of power, core members voted 41-4 at a meeting on Saturday to lay the 32-year-old group to rest. Tens of thousands of people had attended the annual vigil, until authorities banned it in 2020, citing anti-pandemic measures.
Following the vote, alliance spokesperson Richard Choi said it wasn't clear how the events of 1989 would be commemorated in future.
"But we do believe that the basic belief of Hong Kong people hasn't changed and will not change," Choi told reporters. "So whatever the conditions are, we still think that in the coming future, Hong Kong people will use different ways to stand up and commemorate."
The government investigation came during heavy restrictions on Hong Kong civil society following mass pro-democracy protests in 2019 and the imposition of a sweeping national security law by China's ruling Communist Party last year. The legislation effectively criminalized opposition and severely limited free speech, while other measures have heavily reduced popular participation in the city's electoral process.
The law, which outlaws subversion, secession, terrorism and foreign collusion to interfere in the city's affairs, has forced several civil organizations to disband or seen their ties to the government cut. More than 100 pro-democracy activists have been arrested under the law, including leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance, while other opposition figures have sought asylum abroad or been intimidated into silence.
In August, the prominent Hong Kong Civil Human Rights Front, made up of a slew of member organizations, said it could no longer operate and chose to disband. The group helped organize large protests in 2019, which grew increasingly violent as mostly young demonstrators battled police.
The annual vigil had honored those who died when China's military violently suppressed massive pro-democracy protests in Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989.
The topic has long been taboo in mainland China and Hong Kong had been the only place in the country allowed to hold such a commemoration. Smaller crowds gathered this year and in 2020 despite the police ban.
Police had asked the alliance to hand over any information about groups they had worked with overseas or in Taiwan — the self-governing island democracy China claims as its own territory — as well as contact information. They did not mention what specific incidents prompted the investigation.
Critics say the national security law restricts freedoms Hong Kong was promised it could maintain for 50 years following the territory's 1997 handover to China from colonial Britain.
In an emailed statement, Amnesty International's Asia-Pacific Director Yamini Mishra said "the effectively forced disbandment" of the alliance showed the Chinese authorities were seeking to censor all mention of the crackdown in Hong Kong as it has on the mainland.
"After the recent demise of some of Hong Kong's largest unions and the group organizing some of the city's largest protests, it is clear the Hong Kong government is targeting civil society groups with broad support and the capacity to mobilize," Mishra said. "Worryingly, the government's crackdown on such organizations seems likely to continue."

The effect of temperaments on hip hop music series continues. As we all know, there are 4 major temperaments that different individuals possess. This greatly affects decision making and lifestyle. Today I will delve into the character of the phlegmatic rapper.
The phlegmatic temperament is known to be the calmest and most peaceful of all four. It is characterized by a love for peace and a generally contented nature.
You might think that this temperament is not fit for the turbulent and chaotic nature if the hip hop culture, but you would be very wrong. In fact phlegmatic rappers outnumber the choleric, sanguine and melancholic rappers.
The phlegmatic rapper is very cool and sleek. Everybody loves them. They are the lover boys of the hip hop culture who occasionally make hits that everyone can relate to.
It is very easy to like this kind of rapper because of his political and social correct overtone. He is very careful with his art and will pay extra attention to the meaning of his verses so they end up sounding very relatable. He does this not because he cares about depth, but because he doesn't want to start a fight.
This guy will become the rave of the moment with songs that fans of other genres can love. This is because they are not polarized by nature. They willing to things slide and will not hold unto a rap feud that can damage their good reputation.
They are easily adaptable and work really hard on their music be cause they really care about what the fans want. Unlike the melancholic who cares about the art and the choleric who cares about himself.
As such they are going to drift into different styles. They hardly ever get into trouble, and are content with staying in the background.
They play the most important role in the development of the hip hop culture since they are mostly responsible for helping others create their work. He is willing to let others take the spot light thus becoming a fertile ground for artists development.
Phlegmatic rappers are the most efficient in group work. They are very effective in bands and will help others grow without being selfish. Their patience and lack of huge ambition makes them great teachers. They share the glory with others and are very open to criticism.
They are instrumental in the process if making hit songs. In fact a lot of mainstream artistes require the valuable input from a lesser known phlegmatic to blow up. It may be the hook, the second verse, the beat or the music production or the sound engineering. But they bring something special to your song.
However they are unable to replicate this form on their own project. This is because they perform better in collaborations and group works. They require a team to inspire them, and when this inspiration is lacking they become complacent.
And as such they are also know as "one hit wonder" rappers due to their general lack of drive to recreate after a smash hit. Their albums rarely go platinum but they never run out of usefulness due to their diverse skills set.
Most phlegmatic rappers acquire a lot of skills, as result of time spent during service. They are able to occupy multiple independent positions unrelated to their rap or hip hop music. Frankly nothing can get done without them.
Examples of popular phlegmatic rappers are Pharell, Timbaland and Warren G; who was the original creator of the 90's G funk sounds but was willing to let Dr Dre take the credits.
Because of their calm nature, they can be easily overlooked. The hip hop culture requires vibrancy and motivation, those are two things that the phlegmatic rapper lacks in huge quantities. They find it hard to maintain a niche fan base because of their lack of energy.
They can also become targets for diss and insults. This guy will not fire back as violently as a rapper should. And even if he does, it would be in form of a shade.
They becomes cheap shots very easily, this is why they usually make good friends with the choleric rapper who can offer protection due to his mad warrior nature.
The phlegmatic rapper is not going to have s running feud with anyone. He would rather defect that role to the members of his clique who will mostly be choleric.
He has no problem with obeying what he is told to do, so he enjoys the company of the bossy choleric who will in turn offer protection by biting anyone who disses him.
Nate Dogg thrived in the Dogg pound gang because of the angry and reckless nature of Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre. Both of them were ready to take on any feud and it provided a nice cover for Nate.

Egypt is full of World Heritage sites and adventure. I love that this one, Abu Simbel, combines the two. Just getting to the site is quite the adventure. You can fly, which gets you there early in the morning, and you actually are finished and leaving before the other tourists get there, or you can take the "caravan." This is what we did. We woke up at 4:00 in the morning to join all the large vanloads (maybe 50? of them) who careened and juggled for position throughout the early morning until we reached our destination. The reason the caravan was started was due to safety reasons, protecting tourists from the odd kidnapping. However, we were a pretty obvious spectacle, I'm sure a criminal could figure out how to wreak havoc if that was his target. Strange, but oddly exciting.
Abu Simbel is made up of two temples. They are huge, with statues reaching over 20 meters high. They were commissioned by Ramses II, and he is featured prominently along with his favorite wife Nefertari (whom the 2nd temple is dedicated to). Wandering the temples and grounds is awe-inspiring. I think it is another testament to the engineering prowess of the ancient Egyptians.
Pyramids of Giza, Are They Worth It?
What a great picture! I've been to Egypte a couple of times, and Abu Simbel is one of my favorite places. Such history!
Nina, I have to agree with you. Abu Simbel is such a fantastic site. I think it's made better with its story of having to move it. Thanks for your comments.

I would like to say Happy Independence Day Nigeria!! we are 54 Years old today and I pray for protection and Guidance in this Country. In other news, I was invited to a Garden Party that took place last Sunday, I was Sisiyemmie's plus 1. It was pretty cool she brought me along :). The dress code of the day was floral and I must say each lady that was present looked so beautiful. The event took place at the Social Place in Victoria Island at 3pm, but I got there at to 5 because I had to eat launch (I never attend events hungry, so that I can fully focus on the reason why I attend an event), also it's pretty tough for me to head out Sundays, its like my day of serious rest after church, is there anyone like that here?
The people present at the party where bloggers sharing their experiences and a few readers who wanted to get to know a few things about blogging. Each person had their name on a plate and a flower hair accessory.
Almost all the ladies had natural hair, I kinda felt a little bad that I relaxed my hair a few months ago, but when I remembered my struggles, I just said "Whatever"!!
The fun still continued inside so it was pretty cool, but there is a confession I have to make. I really have a shy problem its actually annoying and sickening. I can only really talk loud and express myself If I am put on the spot, or I was told that I was going to say a speech or I have a couple of friends around me. I had a lot I wanted to say, but at the end of the day I only talked about a camera "WHO DOES THAT!!!" I really need to over come it, I can't continue this way. I admired the other bloggers who spoke freely.
There were also pretty cupcakes made by Berry's husband, it's unfortunate I couldn't get a piece due to taking a group picture.
I really loved Barbara1923's dress (on the right), I kept telling her through out the event, it was so cute and pretty. Both ladies looked lovely.
Any plans for today? please to share, Happy Holiday!!
oh wow looks so pretty! and like a lot of fun! lol raining season wont let people be great.
yaaay! I see myself Velma. thanks so much. Why didn't we take a picture together? (for shame). So nice to see you again after all this time.
please can you mail me the one you took of only me?

Erica and Dan's Boston engagement session played like a whirlwind tour of Boston. Starting at Fenway Park and ending with their beloved dog Mattie at Jamaica Pond, it was an incredible day spent soaking up much of what Boston has to offer!
We first met Erica and Dan a few years ago when Erica was in Liz and Harry's infamous wedding. Erica was one of the bridesmaids stuck in the elevator with all of bridal party, the rabbi and us moments before Liz was to walk down the aisle. Needless to say, after snapping quite a few photos to memorialize the moment, we all bonded very quickly.
We were very excited when Erica and Dan reached out to ask if we would be interested in photoing their engagement and wedding, offering us the chance to spend yet another wedding with this truly wonderful couple.
Erica and Dan chose to begin their engagement session with photos outside of Fenway Park. Not only is Erica a Red Sox fan, but the team actually plays an important role in how they met! Dan, a Yankees fan, struck up a conversation with Erica after a Red Sox game during the 2013 World Series. Though they may have disagreed on the outcome of the game, they managed to put their team rivalries to the side…but only a little. Dan did come to Fenway wearing a Yankees t-shirt, which was pretty brave given that there was a game the day of their engagement session!
After Fenway Park we visited the Make Way for Ducklings statue at Boston Common, which were all wearing their Easter bonnets!
Our tour of Boston led us to the historic Beacon Hill area, which is known for their beautiful Federal-style row houses with gorgeous window boxes filled with flowers and quaint brick sidewalks. This area is so beautiful and is a mandatory stop for any Boston engagement session!
Our last stop downtown was the Boston Harbor to get a few photos of the happy couple with the skyline in the background.
We love it when couples want to include their pets in their engagement session, so we headed over to Jamaica Pond to get some shots of Erica, Dan and their spunky little pup, Mattie. She was clearly excited to be included in the engagement photos and helped us get some pretty energetic and entertaining photos!

UCASU announces LOI to acquire $2.2 mllion Cannabis Property in Oklahoma
2.2 min readPublished On: December 7th, 2021By News Team
ATLANTA – UC Asset LP (OTCQX: UCASU) announced the firm has signed LOI with an Oklahoma cannabis property owner and licensed medical marijuana grower, to acquire its property, including all on-ground structures, for a consideration of $2.2 million.
The property is a 4-acre medical marijuana indoor/outdoor property. According to the seller, operation from this property generated a gross annual revenue of about $900,000.
Seller will finance a major part of the transaction by providing a $1.2 million, 3-year loan, which will carry an annual interest of 1.8%. The loan also has a grace period of 6 months.
UC Asset plans to lease the property back to licensed growers, applying a business model similar to those adopted by established public companies, such as Power REIT (NYSE: PW).
"There are only a few real estate investment companies on the public market with significant cannabis properties in their portfolio. And some of these portfolios appear to be very successful despite their short history. We've decided to adopt this investment model," says Greg Bankston, managing general partner of UC Asset.
Among the public companies Bankston referred to is Power REIT. In February 2020, the REIT announced expanding its portfolio in greenhouses for both food and cannabis cultivation. In the 21 months since this announcement, its stock price has soared from $8.45 (February 03,2020) to $63.46 (November 12, 2021), an increase of 750%. According to its most recent report, the company's quarterly revenue achieved a 133% growth and quarterly net income achieved a 221% growth, by June 30, 2021.
This is the first LOI signed since UC Asset announced its plan to investment in cannabis property investments two month ago. Last month, UC Asset declared that it has developed a deal pipeline for cannabis property investments. The management confirms today that it may sign more LOIs for potential deals in the coming weeks.

Approved Proposals FY09
Why Sequence Hansenula polymorpha?
Hansenula polymorpha strain NCYC 495 leu1.1 is a yeast capable of fermenting xylose, cellobiose, and glucose to ethanol at high temperatures (45 – 50° C). This particular strain ferments xylose much more efficiently than other strains of H. polymorpha. Hence, it is a promising strain for the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process, which combines enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulose by cellulases and hemicellulases (exhibiting optimal activities around 50° C) with simultaneous fermentation of produced hexoses and pentoses to ethanol in the same vessel. Commercially feasible SSF technology has not been developed yet because of the absence of a robust organism capable of efficient ethanolic fermentation of xylose and other lignocellulosic sugars at high temperatures. Still, ethanol yield from xylose fermented by this strain is rather low and must be improved via metabolic engineering approaches. This work can be efficient and successful only when a complete genomic sequence is available.
Seqeuencing will enable the identification of the limiting steps (bottlenecks) in the fermentation pathway from xylose to ethanol. In addition, H. polymorpha NCYC 495 is also a popular system for basic research, such as studies of growth and degradation of peroxisomes (organelles that metabolize fatty acids and toxins), nitrate assimilation, resistance to heavy metals and oxidative stress, as well as enabling organisms to produce proteins of biotechnological significance. Studies of this organism's modes of protein and organelle degradation are important for elucidating the mechanisms of severe human diseases (Huntington's chorea, Alzheimer's disease, some forms of cancer). Scientists from diverse fields will greatly benefit from a complete genomic sequence database of this organism.

Sergio Aguero joined an elite group after scoring his 150th Premier League goal in his 217th appearance for Manchester City.
He and the rest of Pep Guardiola's attack of merry men in attack, inspired Manchester City's crushing 6-1 home win over Southampton this weekend.
The Argentine is only the third player in the Premier League era to reach the goal tally for a single club. Thierry Henry has scored 175 in total for Arsenal, while Wayne Rooney has netted 183 for Man United.
Aguero etched his name into history after finding the back of the net during City's league clash against Southampton on Sunday.

A powerful bomb exploded outside Athens' largest prison, injuring slightly a female passer-by and causing extensive damage.
Greek media report that an unidentified person had called TV station ALTER and newspaper ELEYTHEROTYPIA, warning that "a bomb will explose outside the prison in 27 minutes". The person, a man, apparently had put a cloth in fornt of his mouth to make his voice unrecognisable.
The bomb exploded exactly at the time the caller had predicted and before the police manage to intervene in order to protect passer-bys, prisoners and working staff.
The powerful explosion shattered windows of nearby homes and was heard even 10 kilometers away. Quoting a police officer crimesonair.blogspot writes that the bomb contained some ten kilograms of explosives.
There is no immediate claim of responsibility, but the explosion occures a couple of weeks after the arrest of several left-wing militants. Two of them are kept in the Korydallos prison.
The attack comes amid harsh austerity measures, union protests and one week after an arson attack killed three employees of Marfin bank, downtown Athens. The arsonists have not been caught by the police yet.
In March, a 15-year-old Afghan boy was killed and his mother and sister wounded after a bomb hiddenin a travel bag exploded outside a building in central Athens.

About drug testing in the schools, I think it will be doing our youth a favor. I work in a treatment center for alcoholism and other drug dependency--Hazelden Chicago. Most of our patients are in mid-life, but when a person in the late teens or early 20s comes into treatment, the older patients invariably say, "I wish I had gotten help when I was your age so I could have started a better life sooner."
Drug testing can help identify the approximately 10 percent of youth who are biologically vulnerable to drug dependency and encourage them to get treatment.

I feel so very fortunate to have been invited and introduced to Liguria by Emanuela and Anna of BeautifuLiguria! Not only have they become absolutely fabulous tour/trip planning partners but they are lovely friends.
Surprisingly Genoa, and much of Liguria, is not on the top of visitors' "places to visit in Italy" list. This makes this region (except for Cinque Terre and some of the Riviera), refreshingly uncrowded and easy to explore, at least for now!
There's just so much to see in this unique slice of Italy!
I knew a little and, naturally, I did pre-visit reconnaissance but when it comes to travel, I firmly believe that you need to see it for yourself. And I can say that my personal introduction to Liguria totally surpassed any preconceptions and possible expectations!
I learned firsthand why Genoa is nicknamed "La Superba" (The Superb One)!
Cosmopolitan and elegant, her legacy as a powerful Maritime Republic is honored at the re-imagined Porto Antico, in her fascinating medieval maze of "caruggi" (passageways) with its mélange of tempting neighborhood markets, eateries, and shops, and, on Via Garibaldi where opulent palaces of days gone, Palazzi dei Rolli, still impress.
But Genoa isn't stuck in the past! Coupled with its rich heritage, there's is also a very dynamic and modern vibe.
On a more meaningful personal note, an unexpected serendipity was the discovery that Genoa's legacy of immigration includes the story of my own maternal grandparents who, like so many millions, immigrated to America from Genoa!
And there's more…much more! Since Liguria is one of Italy's smallest and compact regions, visiting either Riviera (yes, there are two Rivieras – south and west!) with their picturesque seaside villages makes for very pleasant day trips.
After all, who could resist the allure of Portofino and Santa Margherita and the promise of sitting at a charming seaside cafè sipping a glass of prosecco or enjoying window shopping with a gelato? Not me!
I so enjoyed being introduced to the more famous as well as to those lesser known and equally delightful seaside gems (such as Portovenere, Camogli, Chiavari, and Savona) each with their unique appeal.
Along the way, I was introduced to so many dedicated locals! From a tradition of chocolate making to weaving in silk…from wood carving to growing chinotto…each preserving and practicing centuries old crafts and traditions passed down for generations. And this includes regional culinary specialties!
Famous for its street food (including yummy variations of farinata and focaccia), pesto is definitely the pride and joy of Ligurian cuisine! And, honestly, after you've put on an apron and made their signature dish, from scratch or dined with the King of Pesto, you, too, will have a whole new appreciation for it!
Sampling local specialities, cooking classes, and wine tastings were all more delicious opportunities to learn and indulge!
And there's so much more! But you have to see and experience for yourself. I know that I can hardly wait to re-visit and, partnering once again with BeautifuLiguria, to introduce this delightful region to tour guests this fall.

Bei der letzten Volkszählung im Jahr 2010 hatte Carl's Corner 173 Einwohner, 2018 betrug die Einwohnerzahl 180. Die Stadt besteht größtenteils aus einer Autobahnrastanlage und einigen umliegenden Wohngebäuden.
Lage
Carl's Corner liegt rund zwölf Kilometer Luftlinie nordöstlich von Hillsboro und 35 Kilometer südwestlich von Waxahachie am Interstate-Highway 35E.

Geschichte
Carl Cornelius, der die zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits existierende Rastanlage am Interstate-Highway 35E zwischen Waco und Dallas besaß, ließ die Siedlung Carl's Corner im Jahr 1986 als Stadt eintragen, damit die Rastanlage nicht mehr auf gemeindefreiem Gebiet lag. Somit konnte Cornelius eine Alkoholverkaufssperre umgehen. Im Hill County, das teilweise ein Dry County ist, darf in gemeindefreien Gebieten an Wochentagen bis sieben Uhr morgens und an Sonntagen bis elf Uhr vormittags kein Alkohol verkauft werden. Cornelius ist ein guter Freund des County-Musikers Willie Nelson, der in den 1980er-Jahren in Carl's Corner zum Unabhängigkeitstag regelmäßig Konzerte gab.
Von 2005 bis 2011 firmierte der Rastplatz unter dem Namen "Willie's Station". Nachdem das Unternehmen in finanzielle Schwierigkeiten geraten war, wurde der Rastplatz im Mai 2011 von dem Betreiber TravelCenters of America übernommen, der 271 Rastanlagen in den gesamten Vereinigten Staaten betreibt.
Demografie
Im Jahr 2018 hatte Carl's Corner laut American Community Survey 180 Einwohner. Es gab 75 Haushalte und 67 Familien in der Stadt. Von den Einwohnern waren 95,6 Prozent Weiße, 3,3 Prozent Afroamerikaner und 1,1 Prozent gaben mehrere Abstammungen an. Hispanics oder Latinos machten 38,3 Prozent der Bevölkerung aus. 53,9 Prozent der Einwohner von Carl's Corner waren männlich und 46,1 Prozent weiblich.
24,0 Prozent der Haushalte hatten Kinder unter 18 Jahren, die bei ihnen lebten, und in 41,3 Prozent der Haushalte lebten Personen über 60 Jahren. Altersmäßig verteilten sich die Einwohner von Carl's Corner auf 13,3 Prozent Minderjährige, 5,1 Prozent zwischen 18 und 24, 10,0 Prozent zwischen 25 und 44, 50,5 Prozent zwischen 45 und 64 und 21,1 Prozent der Einwohner waren 65 Jahre alt oder älter. Das Medianalter lag bei 54,2 Jahren. 2018 lag das Medianeinkommen in Carl's Corner pro Haushalt bei 53.750 US-Dollar und pro Familie bei 54.306 US-Dollar. 4,4 Prozent der Einwohner lebten unterhalb der Armutsgrenze.
Bildung
Carl's Corner gehört zum Hillsboro Independent School District.

The Best and Worst Automations in Contract Management
Ken Button | November 12, 2018
It seems like "best" and "worst" lists pop up everywhere these days – especially since anyone with a computer, a blog, and an opinion can add to the fun. A quick survey of the internet turns up an interesting variety of such "bests" and "worsts," ranking everything from cars to starting baseball pitches to states for beer to fighter jets. If you can dream it up, you can find someone online who's judged it mercilessly.
Even on a more serious note, best and worst lists can help us compare and contrast school systems, restaurants, neighborhoods, universities, and yes, contract management software - giving us the balanced knowledge we need to make the best choice.
In this article, we'll consider some of the best and worst automations in contract management.
Best Automations in Contract Management
Use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Technology – In discussing contract management automation features, how could the use of OCR technology not come in first?
After all, OCR allows computers to "read," which is the first step to other great automations. To a computer, a document initially looks more like a picture. OCR digitizes contracts by converting the picture into text that a machine can read.
This process is important for lots of reasons. First, all of a company's contracts can now be scanned and stored in a single centralized repository. In other words, no more lost or misplaced contracts! Plus, you have just freed up a ton of space that you no longer need for storing contracts because they're now stored securely on the cloud.
Next, the stored contracts can now be searched with great speed and agility. Instead of an administrator or manager pouring through paper contracts when they need information, they can conduct a Google-type search at top speed with the touch of a computer key. OCR technology is a must-have in the world of contract management software. Just imagine--you can search across contracts, or even within a scanned contract, and find all the termination mentions in seconds!
Availability of Tracking Alerts – As a contract manager or administrator, how many things are you trying to keep up with? Large corporations can have 40,000 or more active contracts - and the average number of contracts continues to rise, no matter the size of a business.
These contracts may contain everything from important dates for making and receiving payments to automatic renewal clauses which cannot be canceled without action by a certain date. Sometimes, the opposite is true – an important lease or contract right can be lost unless it is expressly renewed by a specific date. And many contracts, such as construction and manufacturing contracts, contain numerous dates by which certain events must occur across the contract lifecycle. Missing a deadline can mean revenue loss, damage to client relations, or, at the very least, wasted time.
ContractSafe ends all of these worries with automatic tracking of dates. The system tracks all of your key dates and will send automated email reminders to whomever you like. A calendar with all upcoming dates can be reviewed with the punch of a button, and one-time and recurring reminders are both available. You won't believe how much more efficient your administration efforts become.
Artificial Intelligence – Technology is improving at an ever-increasing rate. Such technology is essential to maximizing the benefits of a contract management system. But technological developments are important in another regard – they demonstrate the contract management software provider's position as a cutting-edge company, intent on staying ahead of the technology curve.
ContractSafe proudly provides [AI]ssistant, which takes advantage of artificial intelligence for automatic data extraction, which can help companies of any size better manage their contracts. By extracting key information - such as contract name, signing parties, company name, end date, counterparty, effective date, and whether or not a contract auto-renews - administrators can set up contracts much more quickly, resulting in greater efficiency.
Worst Automation in Contract Management Software
This one is easy – the concept of "smart contracts." This is about as automated as a contract gets, right down to its very drafting.
A smart contract is essentially a computer-coded, self-executing agreement between parties, stored using blockchain technology. Theoretically, by cutting out intermediaries such as lawyers, judges, and courts, smart contracts minimize disputes while saving time and money, thereby improving efficiency.
The problems, however, are numerous. Smart contracts are created by programmers, not lawyers who are knowledgeable about the law. Additionally, smart contracts are not sophisticated enough to cover anything other than the simplest transaction. They're simply not capable of dealing with the complications and complexities of the real business world.
Another worst automation falls under alerts. Some alerts only alert you in the system--imagine if your phone alarm only woke you up if you opened your phone first to see if any alarms were active? What's the point? What you need is an alert to be sent directly to you, like ContractSafe does!
So allow us to present to you a new list, entitled "Best Contract Management Software that is Powerful, Affordable, Easy-to-Implement, Easy-to-Understand, and Easy-to-Use." Number one on the list? You guessed it – ContractSafe! Start your free trial today!

So, it seems that most of us are in for a (full?) lunar eclipse tonight.
So, what do we do? Take out the binoculars and watch the eclipse whilst munching on Pringles?
No, this is what the people who disbelieve in Allah and the Last Day do, so we shouldn't follow them in their misguidance.
The people who believe in Allah and the Last Day should follow the best guidance i.e that of the Prophet (salallahu alaihi wasallam).
What did he do? Well, he prayed two really long rakaahs, each rakaah containing TWO really long rukoos. Here's why.
How do we do it? Here's how. Note: It says "as long as Surah Al-Baqarah" but it really depends on the length of the eclipse as Ibn Taimiyyah (rahimahullah) said.
It's not for everyone, just for those who actually have an eclipse in their land.
What else can you do? Well, the Prophet (salallahu alaihi wasallam) ordered us to do dua (supplication), dhikr (remembrance of Allah), do takbeer (say Allahu Akbar), istighfar (seek forgiveness), give charity and seek refuge in the punishment of the grave. Proof? I'm too tired to post each hadeeth but all of them can be found in the Chapter of Eclipses in Sahih Al-Bukhari which you can read here.
What if you read this after the eclipse has already occured?
1) That solar and lunar eclipses do happen quite a bit so make sure that you don't miss it the next time (if you're alive, of course).
2) Apart from the eclipse prayer, all the other things should be done on a regular basis not just when there is an eclipse.
3) Remember the point of the eclipse: Allah wants to frighten His slaves. Why? For us to be aware of His great power and so that we can turn back to Him in repentance.
So, remember the purpose and act accordingly.
4) Remember that we need to prepare for some of these occasions beforehand so we need to seek knowledge about our religion and inform others about these events beforehand, not just at the last minute.
For example, if we study about Islam, we'll realise that the ten best days are the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Many people are unaware of this so we need to tell them and we need to tell them at least a week in advance so that they will be prepared for it.
To all those who read this before or during the eclipse, try to pray and do the above mentioned things. We don't know if we'll get another chance to apply this sunnah.
Yes, it's Dhul Hijjah (at least for those of us who follow Saudia Arabia).
Tomorrow (Nov. 7th) is the first day of fasting (for those who wish to do so). Arafah will be on Monday, insha-Allah.
Insha-Allah, I'll be taking a break from this blog for about two weeks.
Why? Because I seriously need to take advantage of these 10 days, that's why.
Yes, because it's about time.
If we don't wake up soon, then when are we planning to do so? After death?
The best 10 days are almost here. Let's not waste them because we're too busy sleep walking through life and are heedless of the hereafter.
When and how does one do the takbeer in Dhul Hijjah?
The first 13 days of Dhul Hijjah have certain virtues, as does the month itself.
The 8th of Dhul Hijjah is called the Day of Tarwiyah (the rites of Hajj begin on this day).
The 9th is the Day of Arafah.
The 10th is the Day of Eid or the Day of Nahr (Sacrifice).
The 11th-13th are known as the Days of Tashreeq.
So, one should do lots of takbeer (the format is mentioned below) during these 13 days.
When do you do the takbeer?
Just do as much as you can. This is for all 13 days.
2. In addition to being able to do it at any time, you should also do it after the obligatory prayers (after the adhkar that is recited).
A word of advice: The last 4 days are the days that everyone is celebrating Eid, visiting family, etc. It's easy to forget which is precisely why we should make every effort possible to remember.
The Days of Tashreeq are the 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul Hijjah.
Best Days of the Year = The First Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah.
And we're still in Dhul Qaaidah.
So, what do we do? Well, how about if we start preparing for it? You know, so that we can squeeze these 10 days for all they are worth?
See, these 10 days are almost like a mini-Ramadan (talk about recovering Ramadan, huh?). The only reason that we don't think that way is because they're not as heavily advertised as Ramadan.
What's the first thing to do? Well, we need to read about the virtues of these great days, of course.

Block collaborated on the piece's creation, along with composer Kohji Setoh.
NYT writer Claudia La Rocco said that the piece "unfurled as something of a closed world, bound by an audio loop of the women's tones, rustlings and giggles, and modulated by gentle lighting shifts."

Unending pain on Lagos-Badagry expressway (SUN)
The Lagos-Badagry Expressway in Lagos State has been in a deteriorating state for a long while.

With the road's decline, there seems to be no let up to the avalanche of pain and agony many people experience on it. Daily Sun gathered that at all times the lives of commuters and motorists who ply the road are in jeopardy. People no longer enjoy the luxury of riding on the road free of stress.

There are many Indigenous perspectives in Canada and a diverse Indigenous student body, enrolled every year in a range of post-secondary programs. Indspire asked a sample of recent recipients of its Building Brighter Futuresi financial awards what led to their educational choices. What resulted was a better understanding of trends and lessons Indigenous learners can teach policy makers and program service delivery agents about what is important to them.
Understanding the motivations and decisions that successful First Nation, Inuit, and Métis students make, contributes to building and supporting Indigenous student success. Do Indigenous students make the same choices about attending post-secondary institutions as other cohorts of students? What drives the choices Indigenous students make, what brought them to their college or university of choice, what keeps them there, and what is contributing to their graduation? Are there things that can be done differently to improve the recruitment, retention, and graduation rate of Indigenous learners?
Aboriginal learners who have followed their passion and found their voice at Ontario universities are spreading the word to their peers in a series of testimonials about the transformative power of a university education in hopes of inspiring other Aboriginal youth to see the benefit of higher education.
Talking about it more with her, she expressed that she felt as if she couldn't do anything because she's non-Indigenous, but also far away both socially and physically from the issues at hand.
But that's simply not true. It needs to be known that we are all treaty people, and reconciliation needs to be a national movement with 100 per cent of Canadians being a part of it, both non-Indigenous and Indigenous.
Everyone has a role to play, especially young people.

These are all the Blogs posted in April, 2011.
We departed from Oriental at 0930 and continued north on the ICW. The destination tonight is Leechville, NC and anchor in the north end of the Pungo River.
Nothing out of the ordinary in today's cruise... no bridges that needed to be opened... it was fairly windy at a steady 15 knots.... gusting to 20 knots and we had two large bodies of water to deal with... The Neuse River and the Pamlico Sound... both can become pretty nasty if the wind is whipping up... but both waterways treated right today... even with the high winds it was not a real bad ride.
We had a shadow (boat following us) for most of the day... "Dollar Boat"... he wanted to pass us once and hailed on the VHF that he was going to pass... but a few minutes later he hailed us again and said he was just going to hang behind us... I offered to slow down and let him pass but he said he would just follow... they left us at the end of the day and went into Dowry Creek Marina.
We continued on to our destination and at 1655 anchored in the upper end of the Pungo River at N35°33.612', W076°28.441'. There were four sailboats also anchored here with us.
Today we traveled for 7 hours and 25 minutes covering 48 nautical miles averaging 6.47 knots.
After a couple of long days of cruising and leaving early we decided to sleep in a little later and not leave at sunrise... we awoke to a beautiful cool DRY day... the last two days have been gloomy and humid... and quite a bit if rain... so to have a nice sunny day to cruise was going to be awesome.
We departed from Swansboro at 0930 and continued north on the ICW... final destination for the day planned as Oriental, NC... there is a farmers market there on Saturday morning and Susan wants to get some fresh produce... so we will not be leaving early morning on Saturday from Oriental... we'll be at the farmers market.
Oriental has a FREE town dock that holds maybe two boats and I was in hopes that we would be able to get a place on it. I kept checking the city's web cam but the same two sailboats were tied to the dock all day and were still there when we arrived so we proceeded under the high rise bridge and anchored at 1600 hours in Green Creek N35 01.447', W076 42.456'.
Today we traveled for 6 hours and 30 minutes and covered 43 nautical miles averaging 6.6 knots.
We departed from Southport at 0600 in order to have a favorable current traveling up the Cape Fear River… the current in the river can be very strong and you do not want to have the current against you… the current was switching to ebb at 0730 so leaving at 0600 allowed us to have the current all the way to Snow's Cut.
This area always seems to give us problem with bridges… we had three bridges to deal with… Wrightsville Beach bridge, Figure Eight Island bridge, Surf City bridge and Onslow Beach bridge… the opening schedules are such that it's very hard to make each bridge on time… the first two bridges we can sneak under if the tide is low enough… and luckily today that was the case and we had no delays at them… the third bridge we were not so lucky… the Surf City bridge opens only once each hour at the top of the hour… we were arriving at the Surf City bridge about 8 minutes after 1200… and we had a strong current on the bow… barely making 6 knots… arriving within sight of the bridge I hailed on the VHF to see if they were opening for any boats at 1200… no boats so next question to the bridge tender was could you open a few minutes late for us… NOPE! We had to wait till the 1300 opening... so we slowed to a crawl and arrived at the bridge with still 30 minutes to wait.
So three bridge down and one to go… also, we had a weather front passing over the area that was suppose to produce some high winds and heavy rain… that was still to come and from the looks of the sky to the west and the Doppler radar the front was definitely coming our way.
We did get some heavy rain as the front passed over us but not much wind and we were approaching our last bridge… the Onslow Beach bridge… the winds had picked up since the rain stopped to 20 knots with gusts to 25 knots… hailing the bridge for an opening we heard what we did not want to at this point in the day… Not sure of he could open with the winds but to keep coming and he would see when we got close to the bridge… we sat at the bridge maybe 15 minutes and the bridge tender hailed us and said he was going to try and open for us… but he would have to control the opening manually due to wind and it would be very slow opening… and the opening was real real slow but we did finally make it through and back underway… no more bridges!
After this the winds really started to blow… steadily over 20 knots with gusts to 30 knots… and I overheard on the VHF reports of 40 knots winds in Swansboro… right where we were heading... not that the winds would cause us any problems but it's just much nicer docking without winds to contend with. Where we were stopping in Swansboro the winds would be in our favor pushing us toward the dock… but when they are blowing so hard the problem is keeping the winds from slamming us into the dock.
We arrived to Swansboro and luckily the 40 knot winds were no longer here… still had 25 knots with gusts but could deal with those much more easily than 40 knot winds. We managed to get docked at 1700 hours at Duck's Bar and Grille… it's a dock and dine establishment… located at approximately N34°41.165', W077°07.176'.
Today we traveled for 11 hours and covered 69 nautical miles averaging 6.2 knots.

Stoudemire scorches Lakers as Suns win Game Three
By | Reuters
PHOENIX (Reuters) - The Phoenix Suns turned up the heat in the Western Conference finals on Sunday by beating the Los Angeles Lakers 118-109 in Game Three.
Outgunned in the first two games of the series, the Suns' defense stepped up while Amare Stoudemire delivered 42 points and 11 rebounds. Point guard Steve Nash put up 17 points and 15 assists as the Suns closed the gap in the series to 2-1.
Phoenix employed a zone defense for much of the game, forcing Los Angeles to make outside shots and negated their one-on-one advantages.
Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 36 points and 11 assists but the visitors made just nine of 32 three-point attempts and were outscored 32-25 in the fourth quarter where they held a brief one-point lead with 8:47 remaining.

Mesothelioma is an asbestos related cancer. Victims of this condition have a legal right to claim compensation against former employers and dependants of victims who have died from asbestos related cancer may also be entitled to financial compensation. In addition to mesothelioma those exposed to asbestos fibres have a much higher risk of developing asbestos related lung cancer. Our specialist personal injury compensation claim solicitors have extensive experience of dealing with asbestos cancer in all its forms. Our asbestos lung cancer solicitors use the no win no fee scheme and offer advice at no cost and with no obligation.
Almost all victims of asbestos related cancers can trace a time when they were exposed to asbestos even though there may be decades between the initial exposure and the diagnosis. Due to the lapse of time compensation claims for asbestos lung cancer can be difficult to prove. It is also possible to contract this industrial disease through secondary contact with asbestos fibres and it is not necessary to be directly employed in an "at risk" occupation. There are many victims who lived in the vicinity of an asbestos factory or who handled contaminated overalls and clothing.
This mineral was used to manufacture heat and fire-resistant insulating material for use in building, ship-building, household appliances and the motor industry. There are three types of asbestos named by their colour. Blue and brown are known to cause lung cancer and their use or importation was banned over 20 years ago. Experts now believe the white variety may also be harmful. The use of all asbestos was made illegal in 1999.
There are three main types of this asbestos cancer known as asbestos related lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma affecting the lining of the lungs and the lining of the abdomen respectively. Pleural mesothelioma is the more common form of asbestos cancer representing over three quarters of all diagnoses. The pleural form is caused by breathing the fibres into the lungs and the peritoneal form is caused when, after breathing in fibres, they are coughed up and swallowed.
Mesothelioma is an extremely difficult form of asbestos cancer to treat because of the location of the tumour. Its closeness to surrounding organs makes it impossible to treat the tumour with strong radiation without damaging vital organs. Some reduction in the disease can be achieved with lower doses of radiation but it has not been proved that this reduction actually increases the patient's chances of survival.
Our specialist personal injury solicitors have extensive experience of asbestos related disease compensation claims including asbestosis, mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer. Our asbestos lung cancer solicitors operate the no win no fee scheme otherwise known as a conditional fee agreement. No legal charge is payable unless the legal case is won and the client obtains an award of compensation. In the event that the legal claim is lost there is no charge made to the client. For advice just use the helpline or complete the contact form or email our offices and a member of the Solicitors Regulation Authority panel of personal injury experts will telephone you with no obligation and no charge.

O Telheiro Restaurant is a delightful restaurant located on a quiet street within Aveiro old town, close to one of the town's many picturesque canals and the famous fish market.
This is a long-established restaurant, as popular with locals as with the many visitors who come from all over Portugal and far beyond to discover Aveiro's delights. Stepping into O Telheiro Restaurant is like stepping back in time to Portugal in its seafaring heyday.
There is a distinct maritime feel to the restaurant, with lots of carved, dark wood décor and furniture, fishing nets strung from the ceiling and blue and white azulejos — hand-painted ceramic tiles — recreating the colours of the sea and sky. Pots, pans and cooking utensils complete the décor with a taste of traditional Portuguese gastronomy.
The dining area is divided into two, with a large, more formal dining room to the back and a front area open to the grill, enabling diners to watch as their food is carefully prepared in front of them. As you would expect of a restaurant that is happy to put its cooking so readily on show, the welcome at O Telheiro is warm and friendly, whilst retaining a level of laid-back charm.
The food at this Aveiro restaurant is traditional Portuguese, embracing hearty ingredients from land and sea — fish, caught locally and sold at the fish market; meat reared in the hills and valleys of central Portugal; and delicious freshly picked vegetables.
There is a wide choice on the menu and the seafood rice, cod and grilled fish are all notable for being well prepared and extremely tasty.
Dishes here are also great value for money thanks to the generous portion size. In fact, for a lighter meal, it is quite possible to share a whole portion between two or request a half portion for one.
This makes dining at O Telheiro Restaurant very cost effective, on top of the fact that its prices in general are slightly lower than many other Aveiro eateries. Desserts are freshly prepared in house and there is plenty of choice on the wine list, making this the perfect stop for a full three-course meal with all the extras.
O Telheiro is open from midday to 3:30PM for lunch and from 7PM to 11:15PM for dinner, Tuesday to Sunday. Closed on Tuesdays.
