Cottages in Anaklia has recently launched close to Music Festival Gem Fest territory. Founder Mikheil Kvirtia says to Marketer that idea came up based on existing requirements. The service is mostly for young people who need comfortable living space during the event.
Mikheil Kvirtia: Me and my friends visited Anaklia last year for the first time. We attended Gem Fest 2016 without having certain plans. We liked the festival but we were constantly hungry, thirsty, needed coffee and comfortable space to relax. I've been analyzing all of it after the summer, requirements what attendees need during the event. Me and my uncle, Tengiz Arkania made cottages.
What is the segment and conditions?
We own 7 two-room cottages. Each cottage has two rooms and is being rent separately. One room is for 2 persons, although extra bed can be added. Daily price is 200 GEL, while we can offer discount upon duration of stay. The main segment is the people who love to have fun but comfort is also important. Cottages are fully equipped by every useful item, wi-fi, bath, hot and cold water, air conditioning system, washing and drying machines. Breakfast is also included in the package. We have our own cafe-bar, offering Georgian-European cuisine.
Do young people who attend music festival pay that amount of money?
Cottages opened on 14th of July and despite the fact that we barely spend money on promotion, interest rate is pretty high.
It's early to discuss about business success, but do you predict it will be lucrative business based on existing customers?
Existing customers amount and interest gives us opportunity to predict, we will start to earn profit in next summer. In addition, there is an information that a port will be constructed in Anaklia, which will change seasonal status of cottages and it will be required constantly.
Will you be renting out cottages after music festival ends?
It will be renting out for several months after the end of Gem Fest. Basically, it will serve families who want to relax by the sea.
What are your plans for future?
We plan to expand the territory, add other comfort elements and new services. We actively discuss about launching our cottage network in other regions too. We think of Racha and Svaneti for the beginning.
There are some festivals on other locations too where people overnight for several days. Would you consider building the same cottages for other festivals too?
Unlike Gem Fest other festivals durations are quite short. So, we don't plan to focus on that.

Coronavirus vs. Flu vs. Allergies: What's the Difference?
The novel coronavirus, named COVID-19, has been declared a pandemic of international concern by the World Health Organization.
With coronavirus, the flu and allergies all sharing similar symptoms, it can be confusing. Get educated on the different symptoms to look out for as well as ways you can help prevent the spread of germs.
Is it flu, coronavirus or allergies?
The flu is a common, contagious respiratory illness caused by flu viruses. The latest coronavirus is a new infection that can cause mild to severe respiratory illness.
Allergies are not a virus or infection but rather a hypersensitive immune system response to a certain substance.
What are the signs and symptoms of the flu, coronavirus and allergies?
Flu signs and symptoms usually show up about two days after exposure to the virus. They come on quickly and can include:
• Fever/feeling feverish
• Headache
• Muscle and body aches
• Feeling very tired (fatigue)
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Runny or stuffy nose
Coronavirus signs and symptoms appear about 14 days after exposure to the virus and can include:
• Fever
• Cough
• Difficulty breathing
• Shortness of breath
Allergy symptoms can appear instantaneously with exposure to a substance. They include:
• Sneezing
• Itchy, runny or blocked nose
• Itchy, red, watering eyes
• Wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough

That is the National Library of Medicine and the Lister Hill Center. NLM, the short, mostly subterranean building with the funky roof, is the reference library. LHC, the tall glass-faced building, houses the R&D arm associated with it. Their most famous activities are Medline and the various frontends (currently PubMed for web access, but others have included dial-up through Grateful Med [not making that up]).
Through Medline, us biologists and our colleagues have had an ever-expanding, ever-more-systematic view of the medical literature since the mid-1960s. I can't imagine how you'd begin to measure the impact this has had on the development of biomedical science in the US (and outside).
A note about that hill... it's not Lister Hill. (I thought it was, for a long time.) Senator J.

Here are the official requirements for Need For Speed Payback.
Need For Speed Payback Minimum System Requirements

- CPU: Intel Core i3-6300 3.8 GHz or AMD FX-8150 3.6 GHz

BALTIMORE (WJZ)– The Montgomery County Police Department named one of its newest K9 officers Noah, after Noah Leotta.
Officer Leotta was killed by a drunk driver in 2015, while on a DUI patrol.
Since his death, Maryland has enacted a tougher law on drunk drivers and named it after him. It requires most people convicted of a DUI to participate in the Ignition Interlock System.
RELATED: Driver Who Fatally Struck Noah Leotta Sentenced to 10 Years
K9 Noah was one of three police dogs that graduated from Basic Patrol School on Friday, Jan. 6. K9s Arco, Gabby, and their partners completed four months of training that included searching, tracking, agility, and obedience.

Carol Monaghan MP votes against EU Withdrawal Bill
Carol Monaghan, MP for Glasgow North West, has voted against the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, calling it 'the biggest Westminster power grab since devolution'.
Following two days of debate, the House of Commons backed the Bill which will end the supremacy of EU law in the UK by 326 votes to 290.
All 35 SNP MPs voted against the Bill. Every Scottish Tory MP voted in favour, despite a 62% vote for Scotland to remain in the European Union across all 32 council areas.
Meanwhile, SNP MSPs like Bill Kidd have said they will vote against giving the Scottish Parliament's consent for the Repeal Bill.
Commenting after the vote, Monaghan said:
"20 years to the day since Scotland voted for a Scottish Parliament, this Bill is the biggest Westminster power grab since devolution, returning powers solely to Westminster and preventing the Scottish Parliament legislating in areas where it should have responsibility.
"It will even allow UK Ministers to make changes in devolved areas without any involvement from the Scottish Parliament.
"This not only goes against the devolution settlement, but threatens the very foundations of democracy and transparency.
"The UK Government have recklessly pressed ahead with this Bill despite having made no arrangement to protect the rights of EU nationals living in the UK and UK nationals living in the EU, or undertaken any economic analysis on the effect of leaving the single market.
"My SNP colleagues and I will continue to oppose this Bill as it continues to progress through Parliament."

Authorities Planning to Clean Out Prostitution and Drugs From Athens' Pedion tou Areos Park
Last Update: 12:18
Attica Regional Governor Rena Dourou spoke at a press conference on Tuesday where she announced that regional authorities are planning on cleaning up Pedion tou Areos park in central Athens, which is currently under siege by prostitutes and drug users.
According to Dourou, a private firm has been hired to guard the park for the time being, until an international tender is announced for the sanitation of the park.
"We are light-years away from having a European park," Dourou noted at the press conference. She added that events such as cultural events will be coordinated to attract the public to use the park in constructive and positive ways in the future.
The Organization Against Drugs OKANA and Therapy Center for Dependent Individuals (KETHEA) have also become involved in saving the park and its addicts by setting aside 776,433 euros in regional authority funds to help encourage treatment and discourage drug users from going to the park.

We made the decision to buy a new manufactured house to put on our property in late August or early September. The existing house, also a manufactured double-wide, was installed (incorrectly) thirty-one years ago, and to make a long story somewhat shorter is simply falling apart in a way that is not reasonable to repair. Moreover, the way it was installed (big raw hole dug in the ground and house plopped down in it), makes it impossible to put another manufactured home on the same site.
So we spent some time walking around the property and decided on a good location for to put a new house and armed with the dimensions of that space started shopping around.
Two things I wish we'd known then that we know now is: One, our electrical utility American Electric Power/Kentucky Power has a 100 foot right-of-way around their overhead high power transmission lines (50 feet on either side of the center line), and so even though the lines are more than 30 feet above the valley running from mountain top to mountain top, the power company's right away takes a huge slice out of one end of our property -- the end where we wanted to put the new house. After a couple of weeks of uncertainty we ultimately found a new place to locate the house, but had we known about the power company's right of way before we started we might have chosen a smaller, or at least differently configured house. The second thing I wish I'd known was that the costs of financing the loan (origination fees, title searches, points, etc.) would be more than $9000 above the cost of the house itself; that knowledge definitely would have lead to choosing a smaller, less expensive house.
By the time we'd learned both these things the house we had decided on had already been ordered, and although we were not legally bound to purchase it, we felt moral and ethical obligations, plus, by this time we really liked the house we'd chosen.
Those are the two biggies, but there are many, many smaller things I wish I'd known. I wish I'd known that everything always takes longer than everyone says they will, and that once winter weather sets in all bets are off on the timing of construction activity. Of course we thought, three months ago, that we'd be in our new house before Thanksgiving. That was before the power company right-of-way debacle.
I wish I'd been given a complete and clearly detailed list of all the various tasks that would have to be done, that indicated for each item whether this was something we had to hire workers/contractors ourselves and pay for ourselves or something for which the home seller was responsible. I learned that "oh we'll help you take care of that" means that we're really responsible, and that all the seller is providing is names and phone numbers. But most of all I wish I'd known that just because the manufactured housing company recommends workers (like electricians) doesn't mean that they actually know what they are doing -- we failed electrical inspection the first time around, so more delays. We learned that when people focus too much on trying to "save you money" they can make stupid and costly mistakes.
I wish I'd known about all the different types of inspections, and that you had to pay the inspectors; and I wish that I had known which inspectors were perfunctory and which picky about details. I wish I'd known the level of detail you are suppose to know about your septic system -- and the artistic skill required to draw the map free hand -- before trying to get health department approval.
I wish some one had spelled out for me the exact time sequence that things have to be done in -- I'm still not clear about the necessary order for electrical hook up and septic hook-up, and just hope that the timing comes out right.
I wish I'd known how small a load 4 tons of gravel really was, and how far (not very) it would go. I would have opted for a larger load.
I've been thinking that someone, maybe me, should write down all the things to expect; but then I wonder how generalizable to others situations are the things I've learned?

A press release from Ecuador's government website discussed on Nov. 21 a reform for minimum wages for the Ecuadorian workforce. Businesses will be forced to distribute the profits among employees within the companies they work for.
President Rafael Correa called it a just and dignified salary change for families to cover basic living expenses. The figure that was calculated is approximately $320, according the government report.
Correa emphasized there are no salary incentives for employees in numerous sectors. He pointed out employees working in the oil sector made commissions or salary bonuses while workers that specialize in Arts and Crafts make nothing.
The legislative changes are to change the capitalistic exploitation and level out the field for wages. President Correa said he is not going after private companies or looking to close them down. He wants to pursue social changes that have plagued the country with previous administrations, according to the report.
Ecuador's president has faced in recent weeks sharp opposition due to with massive blackout and growing concerns over of economy. A recent report from the Wall Street Journal has the producer price index in September rose 1.14 percent for Ecuador. The sector for Agricultural and fishing products were down 12.64 percent and the minerals, electricity and water fell 21.44 percent from a year ago.
The socialism agenda in South America is in its infancy and will continue to transform the region. There has been little exchange and growing tension with Washington because of the debate over the addition of the military bases in Colombia, neighboring country to Ecuador.
The dialogue may change under the new administration but will require negotiation and diplomacy. Until tensions ease collaborations between the U.S and Ecuador will remain a work in progress.

The Approach from the Water
Retracing the ships' passages from the mouth of the harbour to the Bedford Basin.
This is a waterborne excursion in the debris field. The Imo and the Mont-Blanc collided in the narrows of the Halifax harbour, at a point just west of the French Cable Wharf. What caused the two vessels to be on this collision course? After the collision, as fire engulfed the Mont-Blanc, it drifted for 20 minutes, ending up at Pier 6 where it exploded. Before the blast threw it ashore, the Imo drifted east, towards Dartmouth. The ferry operated without interruption throughout the crisis. Can you imagine this sequence of events from vantage points on the water?
The route is a suggestion, but feel free to drift and explore. You may contribute your own photos, videos and comments along the way. Stay safe in the debris field. Carry a whistle.
Ground Zero, where the SS Mont-Blanc exploded, is next to where Pier 6 stood at the foot of Richmond Street. This location is now within the Halifax Shipyard, Irving Shipbuilding Inc.
The SS Mont-Blanc was en route from Gravesend, Brooklyn to Europe, carrying munitions intended for the Front. Because of its heavy load and modest size, it was sailing at a slow speed, making it more vulnerable to enemy attack, and needed to join a convoy before sailing across the Atlantic. Scheduled to enter the harbour on the afternoon of December 5, it arrived late, and had to anchor overnight at the Examination Grounds just off McNabs Island, with the crew and Harbour Pilot Francis Mackey aboard. The nature of the cargo was known only to them and a few other officials.
Anti-submarine, or 'boom' nets were installed across the mouth of the Halifax harbour during WW1, to keep German U-boats from entering at night. The Mont-Blanc arrived after the nets had been put into place for the night on December 5, 1917.
The nets were secured at points on George's and McNab's Islands, at Point Pleasant Park and the harbourfront in Halifax, and in Dartmouth. Floats were installed along the top edges of the nets, and they were kept in position with a series of anchors. The nets were opened and closed at the beginning and end of each day. The Mont-Blanc anchored overnight, just outside the nets, after arriving late at the mouth of the harbour.
The WW 1 anti-submarine nets were in place for a very good reason. In 1917, the threat presented by German U-boats was real. In fact, after the explosion, many people held the view that the catastrophe was the work of German agents suspected of living in Halifax.
The anti-submarine net attached to this point on George's Island went across the eastern side of the harbour, to the Dartmouth shore.
One end of the anti-submarine net was attached at this point along the Halifax shoreline.
This is where the anti-submarine net was attached on the Dartmouth shore.
The 1917 explosion in the Halifax harbour was not an accident. Permitting dangerous vessels to enter a civilian harbour has consequences. What have we forgotten about the history of these decisions?
In 1984, the Casimir Pulaski US Ballistic Missile Submarine was moored in the centre of Halifax harbour. This submarine contained eight 100-kiloton warheads.
In 1917, and today, Harbour Pilots are responsible for bringing ships in and out of the harbour safely. On December 5, 1917, Harbour Pilot Francis Mackey boarded the SS Mont-Blanc, out past the mouth of the harbour. Too late to proceed into the harbour that evening, he stayed on board overnight, and in the morning, got ready to bring the vessel to the docks.
The url below is for an award-winning animated storymap created by cartographer Gordon Campbell, which gives a detailed account of the collision.
The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, part of the Nova Scotia Museums, has a large number of significant artifacts and records related to the Halifax Explosion in its collection. Their permanent exhibition 'Halifax Wrecked', is now accompanied by a special exhibition, 'Collision in the Narrows: The 1917 Halifax Harbour Explosion', which will be on display until November 2018. NiS+TS has carried out a research creation project based on the Mont-Blanc fragments in the MMA. This art project is on exhibition at Dalhousie Art Gallery from October 11 to December 17, 2017.
You might recognize this corner as the current home of the Five Fishermen Restaurant. At the time of the Halifax Explosion, the Victoria School of Art and Design (now NSCAD University) was located at the corner of Argyle Street and George Street, Halifax, next door to Snow & Co., Undertakers. Pine coffins were stacked here in the days following the disaster, in readiness for the many burials that took place.

This is one of the parking lots for the HMCS Dockyard. An example of some of the oldest infrastructure in the city, the original sections of the retaining wall between Barrington Street and the asphalt are made of stacked pyritic shale.
The HMCS Niobe was the first ship in the Royal Canadian Navy and was tied up here on the harbourfront when the explosion happened. The anchor chain snapped in the blast, and the anchor was lost until excavations took place in October 2014. A fragment of the rusted surface of the anchor is being exhibited by NiS+TS at the NS Archives, December 2017. https://archives.novascotia.ca/chase-gallery
A CBC story about the lost anchor can be found at http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/hmcs-niobe-anchor-damaged-in-halifax-explosion-found-1.2806106'
Just up the hill from the harbour is the Naval Museum of Halifax, in what was known as Admiralty House. It was used as a hospital during WW1, and sustained serious damage during the Halifax Explosion. Fragments from the Mont-Blanc crashed through the north east corner of the roof, and were found years later, embedded in the rafters.
This is the old Fleet Club at HMCS Stadacona, being demolished last summer. It has since been replaced. It's a reminder that Halifax is still very much a garrison town, a city that was established as a strategic military site by the British. Now, as at the time of the Halifax Explosion, the city is a temporary home for sailors and soldiers from across Canada and around the world. How does this affect the ways in which we establish our sense of community? There are many stories of the tireless rescue and relief efforts made by members of the military in the hours and days after the explosion, and of the loss of life and injuries that came to many.
No photos can be taken here since the graving dock is still in use. It is also a National Engineers' Historic Site. 'Graving dock' is another phrase for 'dry dock'; to 'grave' something is to lay it down. The graving dock survived the explosion, with very little damage. The first image shows the graving dock just after the explosion. The second photograph, taken in 1905, is of the Niobe in the graving dock. The last photograph shows the graving dock under construction. These photographs are courtesy of the Nova Scotia Archives, Notman Studio collection.
This section of Albert Street was renamed for Vincent Coleman, the telegraph operator memorialized in the Canadian Heritage minute. If you are on the water, and look up the hill, you can just about see this section of Albert Street.
Through a series of miscommunications and misjudgements, both ships were off course, and on wrong sides of the passage through the narrows on the morning of December 6. The captains and pilots realized that they were on a collision course, and attempted to redirect their vessels. Following a confusing sequence of whistle signals, the bow of the Imo swung into the hull of the Mont-Blanc, puncturing it. The friction generated when the Imo reversed and pulled back out caused sparks, quickly igniting the munitions on the Mont-Blanc.
The monument was designed to lead you down to Ground Zero
Halifax is a busy international port. But here at the Narrows, you could unravel a spool of thread to span this distance. What do you see as you look across the Narrows?
Once Africville was cleared, the city began to develop sites for the Fairview Cove Container Terminal and the footings for the MacKay Bridge.
This church was rebuilt several years ago, and replaces the original structure, which was destroyed when Africville was bulldozed in the early 1960's as part of the city's "urban renewal" campaign. It is the heart of this historic Black community, founded over 150 years ago.
The Community of Africville:
On the shores of the Bedford Basin, on the northern edge of peninsular Halifax, lies Africville. For over 150 years, Africville was home to the hundreds of individuals and families who settled there, some of whom could trace their roots in Nova Scotia back to the late 1700s. Africville was a vibrant, self-sustaining community that thrived despite the harshest opposition. The majority of those who lived in Africville were landowners; in fact, the first registered deed dates back to 1848. The 5 original land purchases belonged to families Arnold, Brown, Carvery, Hill and Fletcher. Just one year later, the first church was built and the settlement grew by the addition of families Dixon, Bailey and Grant, making a total of 8 families to settle on these shores. (Excerpted from the Africville Museum website [Africville Heritage Trust http://africvillemuseum.org/the-organization/]
You can continue walking through the park here, instead of on the sidewalk by the road, if you wish.
The Imo was to have left its anchorage near Birch Cove in the Bedford Basin late on the afternoon of December 5, 1917. Delays meant it had to anchor in the Basin overnight, and it was making its way south through the narrows and towards the mouth of the harbour at 8:30 am on December 6. This image shows the Imo (formerly the Runic 1, from the starboard side.
Artist Arthur Lismer lived in Bedford at the time of the explosion. When the blast occurred, he set out on foot from his house on Cliff Street, and walked through Bedford, Richmond and central Halifax, to reach the school (located where the Five Fishermen Restaurant is now). Along the way, he made drawings of the scenes of horror and devastation he encountered. The images were reprinted in popular publications, and were some of the first depictions of what had happened. These works of Lismer's are on exhibit from October to December 1917 at the Dalhousie Art Gallery.
The vantage point for this iconic image of the explosion cloud, and the identity of the photographer, have been unclear for many years. Explosion researcher Joel Zemel, in his essay 'Anatomy of a Disaster', proposes that the photograph was taken by a sailor who was on board the Acadia that morning, while it was at this location in the harbour. The Acadia is now in the collection of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and moored on the Halifax harbourfront.
We are now close to what was the military housing community of Shannon Park. It was named after the Royal Navy Ship, the Shannon, which defeated the American ship the Chesapeake, in waters off Boston in 1813 (during the War of 1812). The Chesapeake was towed into Halifax Harbour following the battle. For millennia before then, this area was inhabited by Mi'kmaq people. Their community of Turtle Grove stretched along here to the area south, towards what is now Grove Street in Dartmouth.
Shannon Park was developed for Navy family housing in the early 1950's Cold War era. Street names were given in the 60's, after Navy vessels in the "Tribal Class" of destroyers (except Ojibway Way, which was named after a submarine). It has been vacant since 2003, and all the buildings were demolished in 2017. Most of this land is being redeveloped for residential and commercial uses.
Look at the three smokestacks of the Nova Scotia Power plant. Adjacent to the plant is land that is part of the parcel owned by Nova Scotia Power, and is available for sale or lease. You can see past the fuel tanks close to the shoreline to scrubland further up the hill. This is a good example of the kind of semi-urban non-space that NiS+TS is intrigued by. There are no landmarks here, and it's far from scenic, but it's a site that tells a story nonetheless.
Just behind the distinctive smokestacks of the NS Power Generating Station is the Tufts Cove Cemetery. It is a place for reflection. It is lovingly maintained by descendents of those who were buried here. Some graves of Explosion victims from the settler community are located here.
Walk down this road and to the parking lot at the end, near the shore. It was along here that the Mont-Blanc crew came ashore after rowing their lifeboats away from the burning vessel. The French sailors raced up the forested slope, trying to warn the Mi'kmaq gathered in the area of the impending catastrophe.
The view has changed dramatically since 1917. Walk back up towards Windmill Road once you've had a look.
At the foot of Grove Street is the French Cable Wharf building, which was built in 1916 and used by the French company that was installing and maintaining transatlantic communications cable. Made of reinforced concrete, the building was the only major structure on the Dartmouth shore to survive the explosion. There was a wharf extending from the building into the harbour at that time. The French Cable Wharf building is a recognized Federal Heritage Building, and is now part of the Defence Research and Development Canada facility here. http://historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=7843
Following the collision with the Mont-Blanc, both ships drifted in the harbour for approximately 20 minutes. When the explosion eventually happened, the Imo was violently blasted across the harbour to this part of the Dartmouth shoreline.
There were several passenger ferries between Dartmouth and Halifax in 1917. The public ferry service, which operated from this point along the shore, ran without interruption when the explosion took place, although the glass windows below deck shattered. In the hours and days following the blast, the ferry was used to transport the injured to hospitals in Halifax and Dartmouth.

Imagine more than 1,500 athletes from the region and beyond pushing themselves to the limit in a swimming, cycling and running challenge. We're talking athletes of all abilities and ages who have signed up to challenge themselves.
This year, TriYAS by Daman's ActiveLife, taking place on Friday February 16, in Abu Dhabi, is open to even more members of the community, with a series of new, shorter courses aimed at first-timers, younger contenders and short-distance speedsters.
"TriYAS is a community event that brings people of all ages, fitness levels and nationalities together with the goal of improving their overall health and, importantly, to have fun. This year, with the inclusion of Super Sports Triathlon Championship, we've added more distances to make participating even more accessible," Yas Marina Circuit CEO Al Tareq Al Ameri tells us.
And boy does it make it more accessible. The Super Sports Triathlon Championship – which is part of a four-race series – will offer three categories: T1, which involves a 100m swim, 3km bike ride and a 1km run. T2 includes a 200m swim, 6km cycle and a 2km run and T3 sees a 300m swim, 9km bike race and 3km run. TriYAS will be the finale of the Super Sports Triathlon Championship season, with the top 20 male and ten female participants competing.
"The KidsTRI, which we know is what parents are mainly interested in, is back for a third year this year, and will involves fun for the entire family," Yas Community Manager Abdulla Al Shammari says. "In addition to the triathlon action, away from Yas Marina Circuit there will be a real festival feel to the Entertainment Village. TriYAS 2018 will see live acoustic performances, kids' activity zones and cool food and beverage options. The village will also feature social media walls so supporters can digitally interact with the action, plus a range of retail options and sponsor-led activities to enjoy."
The TriYAS organisers have also added some extra entertainment to cater to athletes' families and friends who come to support them. The uniqueness of the event lies in the fact that it offers numerous spectator viewing points, allowing family members and other supporters to get close to all the action and cheer on their favourites to win.
It all started back in 2011, Al Shammari explains, one year after Yas Marina Circuit was first opened up to the community with the purpose of getting Abu Dhabi active through walking, running and cycling at the weekly TrainYAS programme. "Our goal was to position Yas Marina Circuit as Abu Dhabi's venue for health and fitness. To increase participation and keep people motivated, we needed set a community goal, so TriYAS was introduced in 2015."
The TriYAS team also added the KidsTRI event to ensure that all members of the family could take part and get active. With a reasonable course strength aimed at youngsters aged nine to 16 to test themselves over a 100m swim, 6km cycle and 1.5km run, it's no wonder they had 100 kids competing in the first edition.
"The numbers of youngsters taking part along with first-timers and amateur athletes has grown each year," Al Ameri says. "Our ultimate aim is to help members of the community get into the best shape possible and promote the importance of leading an active and healthy lifestyle."
A growing number of interested youngsters is what TriYAS organisers always look for. Al Shammari is keen on instilling a love of exercise and fitness in younger members of the community.
"A triathlon is about determination, digging deep within yourself and never giving up; it's all about taking that next step and pushing through. These are important life lessons that will stay with kids well into adult life and hopefully have a long-term positive effect."
Sign your yourself (and your brood) up now…
Free. Fri Feb 16, from noon. Registration closes Thu Feb 15. Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, www.yasmarinacircuit.com.

After the joint meeting between the Faculty Executive Committee and the Chancellor's Advisory Committee ended, Cairns — adorned in a suit jacket and bow tie — and other committee members accepted Chancellor Carol Folt's ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and were doused by their colleagues in front of South Building.
Before Cairns was soaked, the meeting, located in a filled-to-capacity conference room in the Steele Building, revolved around faculty members asking Folt questions about major issues facing the University.
"Of the biggest issues coming to fruition — the (sexual assault) task force and all of the work they did will be released in the next day or two," Folt said.
Former federal prosecutor Kenneth Wainstein's report on the University's former African-American and Afro Studies department is not expected for some time, Folt said.

Welcome to Child, Family & Education Studies Webpage!
The Child, Family & Education Studies department incorporates three disciplines: Child Development, Family and Consumer Studies, and Education. The Family and Consumer Studies Department offers a combination program of academic and vocational courses that enables the student to: graduate with Associate of Arts degree, transfer, obtain a certificate for entry level positions, or engage in professional development opportunities for advanced certificate programs.
In the new millennium, we will continue to see the public demand for early education programs for young children. Since there is considerable evidence, including brain research, that environments influences the development of young children, it is critical that well trained students utilize "bestpractices"as either a parent or an early childhood educator. Students with a background in the child development discipline are able to pursue professional opportunities in many fields other than teaching, including production opportunities in many fields other than teaching, including production of children's films, books and magazines; educational television; children's toys and educational software; community and/or support services such as home visitors, family services; and child advocacy at local, state, and national levels.
For those students pursuing Family and Consumer Studies courses, this discipline provides courses in marriage, family, and nutrition. In addition, as life span increases, so will the need for senior services courses. All three disciplines provide educational opportunities for one to develop skills and competencies for multiple roles for home, family, and career.

Hi Joe,
Sarah did give you good advice and what she said is true. We really don't know anyone here but are here for support and info and do the best we can. Everyone has a complicated life and other stuff going on and nothing is really in black and white if you know what I mean. In any case you must realize that she meant no offense and only wanted to help and gave the advice she herself follows. Which is good advice because regardless of what is going on if you don't get out and join life it will pass you by.
Best wishes,
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
Henri Nouwen
Paperbag love the poem!
I was just reading this thread and thought I would share my pupuric experience so far. I had my 5th VBeam last Friday... I told her no more "fooling" around with my rosacea....I only wanted my cheeks treated and I wanted each and every pulse to result in a purple bruise! So that's exactly what happened....every pulse (over 300) are black/purple..... right next to the other...no spaces....a solid mass of purple..... Let me tell you it is quite a sight!
But I felt that after doing 4 VBeams and only having say 10 bruises spread out over my entire face just wasn't doing any good for me. I gave it a good go....4tx's is alot in expense, downtime and of course sooooo disappointing that one sees very little if any improvement in redness and skin reactivity.
Right now I still look frightening....the bruises have changed color from black/purple to super bright DARK red with a yellowing color all around the area treated.
I decided to do this based on some of those studies others posted about better results with bruising.
I will post on my results with this in the next several weeks as it looks to me I may need at least that long to see if it helped me at all.
Dx 1998
Is that your way of telling us to shut up If we were all silent it would be a pretty empty forum
wow...I admire your courage Lookout.
I can't imagine how hard it must be to be that bruised. I really hope the purpuric setting is what makes the difference for you. if you need any emotional support I'm here for you.
Thanks for this info Lookout. I had a couple V-beams with no result and no purpura or even redness. He used the Perfecta model.
I will be very curious of your results since I may go down this same path. Boy that downtime has got to suck. Do you work now? I cant imagine that? Also, it treats spots in a circle so there will be "gaps" of areas that are not treated. So I guess this means you will need multiple treatments if this works....ugggh what a frightening thought. Hope the healing goes well.
My fingers are crossed for you.
Good results on the way!
"The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven"
John Milton, Paradise Lost
I am being treated with the perecta also.....I know they say it won't bruise but that's not true....it's how you set it (joules/ms). Yes the downtime is really a bummer BUT if it works then I feel WELL worth it! I really have almost no gaps in treated areas...the tech or doc doing the treatments should be placing the laser slightly overlapping each pulse to get complete coverage and she did a very good job at this.....I would love to look in the mirror and see white areas instead of a solid mass of redness.....that would mean I finally broke thru!
I am a SAHM presently and my spouse works out of town so it is still difficult to manage doing everything around home and upkeep looking like this.....but again it's worth it to get better and wasting my time & money on 4 other VBeams where I had significant downtime also just stinks.....I will post when I can tell if it helped me or not.
Strange I know......but I am not and have not been feeling down about doing this extreme tx......I had come to a place where if VBeam isn't going to work for me that I need to move on....but to what? I have already done at least 15 or more IPL's and they just don't work IMO.....so maybe Yag? Hopefully I will not need to go there and this will be the ticket for me....that way I can just do small areas of my face at a time with the pupuric style and get the results I have been dreaming of.....I would love to just see a good deal of improvement.....that would be like a miracle
Hey Melissa.....how are you?
Hey Paperbag.....thanks for your support.....and again love that poem!
Everyone play nicely now

Announces New Workforce Development Effort to Address Driver Shortage
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 23, 2017 — Yesterday in his annual State of the Industry Address, American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris Spear told the federation's annual Management Conference and Exhibition that efforts to unify and strengthen the industry group have raised ATA's profile and resulted in important victories for trucking.
"Your story is now being told to the highest levels of government, to the media and to the American people," Spear said. "Together we are building trucking's future."
Spear pointed to victory in securing permanent hours-of-service reform, a higher profile for ATA on autonomous vehicle issues, withdrawal of rigid sleep apnea rules and stalling of a poorly crafted speed-limiter rule as significant triumphs for the industry that were the result of the federation's elevated profile.
"We earned that victory," Spear said of the hours-of-service win. "You helped make that happen, and this win serves as a reminder to each of us, of the sheer strength of this association when we work together."
ATA's strength, Spear said, was on display when the association put two trucks on the South Lawn of the White House in March, and again earlier this month joining President Trump in Pennsylvania to support a tax reform plan "with one very special beneficiary … trucking."
"ATA has put its own members in a position to shape public policy at the highest level," he said. "And with the President now championing our best interests, the entire nation is paying attention to what we have to say."
Spear said with the nation paying attention to ATA, the association would continue to advocate policies "that produce measurable benefits to our industry, our customers and the general public," specifically calling out federal preemption of state-level meal and rest break rules as "an issue we have to win and we will …," and the coming implementation of the electronic logging device mandate in December.
"This issue has been legislated, promulgated and litigated," he said. "It is now time to move forward. ELD technology removes one's ability to exceed the legal hours of services, ushering in a safe, efficient and fair playing field for the nation's trucking industry."
Spear also said ATA would take a new leadership role in addressing a persistent issue in trucking: the driver shortage.
"Our industry faces several barriers that must be addressed if we're to grow, including: establishing pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship training programs, and hiring and training 18-21 year-olds. We need interstate recognition of credentials, entry-level training standards for veterans and nonveteran employees, solutions for the impact of detention time and congestion on drivers' hours of service, and more," he said.
To address these issues, Spear announced the creation of a new Workforce Development subcommittee to be chaired by ATA Secretary John Smith, chairman of CRST International Inc.
"This subcommittee will enable ATA to work closely with this Administration, Congress and state governments to solve this problem," he said.
Finally, Spear again called for unity in the trucking industry, even in the face of increasing anti-truck sentiment.
"Back in Washington, anti-truck and amateur hour advocacy groups believe they know what's best for our industry. This wave of special interests has built a cottage industry fueled by ideology, emotion and misguided narratives – all intended to divide our industry and this association. Obstruction is their weapon of choice," he said. "Rest assured, ATA will not be driven into this rut, nor allow such division to impede our ability to win. Our focus will remain on safety, sound data, the truth… doing what's best for our industry and the country, not what's good for a political party or one's personal agenda."

American Trucking Associations is the largest national trade association for the trucking industry. Through a federation of 50 affiliated state trucking associations and industry-related conferences and councils, ATA is the voice of the industry America depends on most to move our nation's freight.

Why does the inside of my Stuffed Peppers fall apart so much?
I use one pound of ground beef, 1 1/2 cups cooked rice, some onion and half a small can of tomato sauce.
7 Answers
- CrustyCurmudgeonLv 711 months agoFavourite answer
A half cup of bread crumbs and a couple of eggs will bind the stuffing together.
- Anonymous11 months ago
Too much liquid.
- AmyLv 711 months ago
I wasn't aware that the mixture inside a stuffed pepper was supposed to be thick and compact. The only way I've ever had it was just a loose meat/rice mixture and that's the way aha aha I like it aha aha
Try adding a pkt of taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, black beans, a cp of salsa along with the tomato sauce and top it with shredded cheese. Peppers with a mexican flair.
- 11 months ago
stuffed peppers recipe is made with bell peppers (yellow, green, orange, or red) filled with a stuffing composed of ground beef, tomatoes, cooked rice, cheese, herbs, and spices (most commonly parsley and paprika).
However, this dish has countless varieties depending on the way the peppers are cut, the way the dish is cooked, and, most importantly the ingredients. From national variations to vegetarian options, peppers can be stuffed with any combination of meat, beans, starches, and sauces, which makes them perfect for using up any leftovers sitting in the fridge – think cooked, canned, or frozen foods, leftover roast turkey from Thanksgiving or surplus roast chicken from your yesterday's dinner.

The tomato sauce along with everything else, might have too much liquid. Add just a little bit of tomato paste. 2 Tablespoons, or better yet, use taco seasoning. Or any dry seasoning packet.
Also, make sure that you drain the ground beef well before stuffing the peppers.
- AntonLv 611 months ago
try using tomato paste instead of sauce
- Rick BLv 711 months ago
add an egg to the meat mixture to help hold it together.

It's always good to "put a face to a name." As an award-winning author and photographer, Susan Kuklin has built her career on putting a face to a story. Her portraits speak to a shared humanity in people from all walks of life, from world-class ballet dancers to teenagers on death row. Her latest book, We Are Here to Stay, is a collection of interviews with undocumented immigrants living in the United States. This timely work offers personal insight into the experiences of immigrants before, during, and after their journey to the U.S. and serves as an important reminder of the real human impacts of political decisions. These impacts are chillingly apparent in the book itself; with the future of the DACA program unclear at the time of publication, Susan and her publisher decided to remove the portraits and redact the names of the interview subjects. Extremely relevant and personal, We Are Here to Stay earned a highly recommended rating from our reviewers, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with Susan about it.
My work as a writer and photographer of nonfiction for children and young adults questions the way particular social norms, a current event, or the law affects real people's lives. Once a topic captures my attention, I focus on a specific aspect that in my view has not been sufficiently examined. For example, a good friend who is an immigration and asylum lawyer and scholar suggested I do a book about immigration. I researched the subject and ultimately decided that a book from the point of view of DREAMers and asylum seekers could contribute to a greater understanding of this vast and complex subject. My previous book, Beyond Magenta, Transgender Teenagers Speak Out, was written and photographed because, at the time, the T in LGBTQ was under-reported.
Trust building was basically no different for We Are Here to Stay than it was for any of my other books where real people come forward to reveal themselves under circumstances that might be considered by some to be sensitive or controversial. For the most part, people want to control their own identity, their own narrative, and not be defined by the press, politics, or society. When given an opportunity to come forward, they do so honestly, courageously, and with pronounced intimacy. Watching this develop is a beautiful process, one that I'm grateful to be part of.
Before we begin the actual interview, we talk about the book and what our mutual expectations are. The participants need to know that I will bring their voice to the page. I need to know that they will be candid and thoughtful. Once we are wholly comfortable with the plan, and with each other, we begin. The process is not very difficult: I simply ask a question and then shut up and listen—wholly—to the answer. I'm never judgmental—their replies are their stories, their truths. Not mine. After I transcribe the recordings—hours of talk—and turn them into narratives, the participant reads everything for accuracy, clarity, authenticity, and voice. By this point we have developed a close and trusting relationship.
Let us not forget that at various points in our history the Irish came fleeing famine, the Chinese laborers came seeking work, the Jews came fleeing the Pogroms and the Holocaust, and so on and so forth. And they all faced discrimination here of one kind or another. Though many things are now different, our laws have not kept up with current events and the changing demographics. It's been quite a while since Congress took a realistic interest in immigration reform.
It's hard to write about only one misconception because there is so much misinformation put out by some news organizations and social networks. Undocumented immigrants come from all over the world. They are our neighbors, our friends, our colleagues. They come to escape violence and poverty. They come seeking an education and opportunity for their children. They are hard workers who pay taxes and contribute to society. We need to reform our immigration laws and social attitudes to meet the moral requirements of a just society.
I think your questions cover the book well. Your readers might want to know that one chapter [3] has photographs of the Sonoma desert and includes an introduction that briefly discusses the history and background of the "walkers" who come here illegally. The back of the book has additional information about the subject—laws, websites, and further reading.
Oh, and one more thing: the participants in the book are interesting, intelligent, delightful people. I hope that your readers get to know them and care about them as much as I do.
