Two Boroughs Larder
Chef Josh Keeler and his wife Heather bring serious taste to the hood—the Elliotborough-Cannonborough neighborhood, that is. Small in size but big on flavor, Two Boroughs Larder is part larder (kitchen provisions and great gifts), part sit-down eatery that's friendly and laid back yet laser-focused on cuisine. Watch James Beard semifinalist Keeler in the open kitchen while devouring a custom noodle bowl with pork confit, soft egg, housemade noodles, kimchi, and sesame greens. The inventive menu varies according to what flew, swam, or hopped earlier that morning, from rabbit to North Carolina trout, sablefish to razor clams. Two Boroughs Larder is where area chefs come eat for inspiration.

Ganpati Bappa Morya! Mangal Murti Morya!
To the most benevolent Lord of all, he who has a prodigious physique and an arched trunk, he who is radiant like million powerful suns, always keep me and my every endeavor free of all obstacles, it is my humble request.
Ganesh Chaturthi commemorates the rebirth of Lord Ganesha. This holy festival falls in the month of the Bhaadrapada according to the ancient Hindu calendar and between mid August and mid September otherwise. For ten days beautifully decorated idols of Lord Ganesha are worshipped with great gusto. On the eleventh day, these idols are immersed in the sea. But, before Lord Ganesha is sent back to Mount Kailash via sea, these colossal statues are taken through the streets with equal pomp and show. Even though Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated all over India, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Goa, Odisha, and Gujrat are few Indian states where the impact is much more.
Some families celebrate Vinayaka Chaturthi at their homes with same rituals and traditions. On a fortunate occasion such as this, it is most excellent to take appropriate gifts when you visit them. Don't let the gifting dilemma baffle you; here are some ideas which you can use:
Lord Ganesha Idols: No doubt this is the first choice of gifts because with Him comes prosperity and good fortune. These days idols are available in a variety of materials, starting from terracotta to metal; decorated or non-decorated.
Silverware: Silver is considered auspicious which is why, silver utensils are often used for the puja ceremony. Other than that, silverware has a regal feel to it and are great to look at any given day.
Home Décor Items: You can never go wrong with these gifts. Everybody loves to decorate both interiors and exteriors of their houses in new and innovative styles. The choice of items is quite wide so choose wisely. Gifting Good Luck Bamboo is also something you can consider.
Sweets and Dry fruits: No occasion is complete without sweets and if it Lord Ganesha's birthday you are celebrating, there has to be His favourite modak or ladoos.
Since time immemorial, devout Hindus have been worshipping Lord Ganesha to get deliverance from evil and other hindrances. That is the reason He is also known as Vighnaharta, the defeater of obstacles. He is wise, lover of arts and sciences and so kind that it is believed that nobody goes away empty handed. The one who blesses us before and throughout every new beginning we make!

SOUTH KOREA – It would take more than 20 years for the paths of two men to cross, but in those years God would do amazing things in the hearts of both men.
While Stephan Lee spent his childhood growing up in a Christian family, Peter Lee spent his college years growing up in his faith, surrounded by his spiritual family, and laying the groundwork for Stephan's future journey.
Peter knew about Christ but came from a broken family where his father drank and his mother was often distraught. To escape his troubled home, he joined the army doing night patrol for three years.
The assignment was difficult, so he looked for a church to find comfort. One night, after reading Romans, Peter's heart was strangely warmed.
"When I realized God loved me, it was an overwhelming feeling. I didn't have to carry all of those problems anymore," he said.
After finishing his tour, Peter enrolled at Chung Bok National University in Seoul and attended Korea Cru (KCCC) where he connected with a Bible study.
The leader of Peter's Bible study became a spiritual father to him, which led Peter to start a Bible study for other men on campus. The group was named "Soon," which means, "bud" in Korean. After graduating, Peter's involvement in the Bible study inspired him to join the staff of KCCC where he stayed on mentoring students until 2005.
When Stephan Lee enrolled at Chung Bok National University in 2006 he had a strong background of faith having grown up in a Christian home, but still he strayed.
Stephan stopped attending church and started drinking, but he would attend KCCC from time to time. He was even invited to a Bible study named "Soon", but still wasn't living well, too afraid to pray for fear that God might be mad at him.
After weeks of "confessing" to his Bible study leader, the leader leaned over to Stephan and hit him on the side of the head. Later, Stephan would realize how much his Bible study leader cared for him and how much he needed the community he found at KCCC.
Not long after, Stephan's mother was diagnosed with cancer. The students in Stephan's Bible study and in KCCC prayed with him for her healing. Through this experience, Stephan and his family became more devoted to Christ.
After finishing college and a tour of duty with the Korean Marines, Stephan joined Korea Cru staff. His first assignment? New Staff Training. His boss? Peter Lee, who welcomed Stephan back to the KCCC family.
Peter discovered fulfillment when he joined a community and found students to mentor. What community are you a part of? Who could you begin to mentor?
Even when Stephan wandered from his faith, he understood the need to stay connected to other believers. He was fortunate enough to find a mentor who literally hit him on the side of the head to help him see the need for a behavior change.
Who are the believers in your life you are connected to? Which of them would be willing to give you a metaphorical slap on the head when you wander from what you believe?
One woman's dedication to training believers in South Korea.
Korea's Taekwondo in Action ministry teaches more than just martial arts.
Even though 24 percent of all South Koreans profess to be Christians, the Church has a problem. Young people are leaving in record numbers.

What does it offer?
Even if it advertises itself as a heaven for amateur sex, you will actually find a lot more here than just porn. The membership on this website definitely knows how to lure you in as it truly offers quite a lot. One of the main things that might get you at the start. Is that you will get access to over 10,000 videos and over 50 original sites.
If you are familiar with other paysites, you might already know that the websites attached to a big company. Usually like to provide a certain type of niche that makes them different from the other ones.
In this case, you will be able to find sites such as the "Party of 3" where you can find a lot of high-quality threesomes, "Dorm Invasion" where you will be able to see college girls and guys slamming in hardcore fashion on camera in their dorms, "Magical Feet" where all of your foot fetish senses are going tingle, and many more.
The videos you can find on Bang Bros are definitely something you will never want to stop watching once you begin. All of the newer videos come in the HD quality while the older ones. Do not support it due to the limited technology at the time of their release. One thing that might disappoint you is that you can not preview videos without actually being a member.
Speaking of previews, on the homepage, some of the videos are going to be featured as GIFs, however, they are placed in very odd places and at first, you might think that they are just ads even if they are not.
However, even if you can not watch the videos without a membership. You can still read the description and access the other features such as the likes/dislikes ratio. The cast, and some other information.
All of the videos come with galleries, however, just like with the videos. You will not be able to look at them until you register for a membership. The images in the galleries usually do not come in full HD quality. But they are still good enough for anyone to receive pleasure out of them.
Since Bang Bros offers quite a lot of content, it is not a surprise that you are required to pay $29.95/month. However. Even if that is a subscription that you can get more than enough value from. You can get an even better deal if you pay $119.95 for a yearly membership which can also be looked as a $9.95/month. Like with many other paysites. You got an option to make a trial account for a small payment of $1.00, but the trial will last only for a single day.
Unlike with the other porn websites. Here you will be able to continue your trial period as long as you want for $1.00/day, and you can cancel your subscription at any time which is quite fantastic.
If you are looking for a porn site that offers sexy teens who like to get stuffed with a dick as well as naughty milfs who enjoy those same pleasures. Then this porn site is definitely something you can dedicate yourself to. The membership offer is astonishing as you will get a lot of value no matter which type of a subscription you go for. And you will never find yourself short on amazing porn videos while that subscription lasts.

Planning for Climate Change Impacts at GW
Kehan Desousa
Why is it important for GW to plan for resilience to climate change? Resilience refers to the capacity of a community, business, or natural environment to prevent, withstand, respond to, and recover from a disruption, like the impacts of climate change. We know that GW and the DMV region are already experiencing these impacts, which means we need to make sure we're resilient to them.
The District and GW have been experiencing impacts related to climate change for a number of years now, like the 2012 Derecho that flooded the Mount Vernon Campus. In fact, GW's 2017 Climathon focused on "hacking" resilience in the District. Looking forward, the District is going to face increased precipitation, extreme heat, sea level rise, extreme weather, and storm surge, all of which will impact GW students, faculty, and staff.
The number of days above 95 degrees is projected to increase, with frequent warm nights; this means that core body temperatures won't get a chance to reset at night, harming human health. Heavy flash rain events are also projected to rise, causing flooding and run-off pollution from the region's hardscape surfaces. Severe storms (hurricanes and derechos) will be increasingly energized by warmer air and water, threatening flooding and power outages. The District's rivers - which are tidal - contribute to sea level rise and storm surge; tides on the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers have risen 11 inches in the past century already.
While the District government is planning for citywide resilience through Climate Ready DC and the 100 Resilient Cities Resilience Planning, GW is also taking steps to plan for resilience as an institution. In addition to considering the way climate change will impact the District, GW will also consider the global impacts of climate change, which may alter the availability of food, fuel, and other commodities.
GW's resilience planning efforts were originally inspired by a commitment made to Second Nature, a non-profit that convenes colleges and universities around climate change, but have taken on new urgency given the undeniable impacts of climate change. To begin the process, Sustainable GW has hosted two workshops with the sustainability faculty and university staff. These workshops were intended to begin the conversation around resilience as well as to begin honing discussion: what aspects of GW and our urban resilience do we need to focus on?
These ideas will be further distilled and discussed over the next several months, culminating in the development of several concrete, actionable targets that will be incorporated in GW's overall sustainability goals. That way, Sustainable GW can continue to track and advocate for progress towards the broader goal of increasing GW's resilience to climate change impacts.
Sustainable GW plans to continue to convene faculty, students and staff around this topic for the next several months, aiming to release the final Resilience Strategy to the public in early 2020. If you're interested in learning more or participating in GW's resilience planning, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Briefing to Incoming Minister released
Briefing to Incoming Minister released
The tertiary system needs to be more nimble, responsive and creative, with more innovation in what and how it delivers.
The tertiary system needs to be more nimble, responsive and creative, with more innovation in what and how it delivers.
That's the key message of the Tertiary Education Commission's (TEC's) post-election briefing for new Education Minister Chris Hipkins, released today.
The briefing outlines TEC's role in the tertiary education sector, and its priorities over the next three years, as well as providing an overview of the sector and the organisations involved.
"We want to make the biggest possible positive difference we can to the prosperity and wellbeing of all New Zealanders," the briefing states.
The TEC "would welcome the opportunity to invest more flexibly in innovative tertiary provision. We consider that supporting new teaching and learning methods and approaches, and supporting more generally system innovation and change, will improve learner outcomes and bring value to New Zealand."
Subject to the Minister's agreement, the Briefing outlines six actions for achieving this goal:
- Continuing to shift toward investing in outcomes, rather than inputs (eg participation rates) or outputs (eg graduation rates).
- Using quality information to support decision-making by learners, tertiary education organisations, and the TEC itself.
- Shaping the future provision of career information, including working with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and the Ministry of Education and others to shape "a more coherent and aligned careers system"
- Ensuring the tertiary education system performs for all New Zealanders. The TEC has set a five year goal to achieve tertiary participation and completion patterns for Māori and Pasifika that are the same as other New Zealanders in the tertiary system.
- Actively managing risks to tertiary education institutions. Particularly institutes of technology and polytechnics face big challenges to their educational and financially sustainability.
- Engaging employers as an integral part of the skills development system.

|About this Recording
8.111327 - CHOPIN, F.: Piano Sonata No. 2 / SCHUMANN, R.: Kinderszenen / Carnaval (Cortot) (1953)
Alfred CORTOT (1877-1962):
The son of a French father and Swiss mother, Alfred Cortot was born in Nyon, Switzerland, in 1877. During his childhood the family moved to Paris and at the age of nine young Alfred joined the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied piano first with Emile Descombes (1829–1912) and, from the age of fifteen, with Louis Diémer (1843–1919). Cortot made his début in 1897 with Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37, and gave piano duet recitals with Edouard Risler (1873–1929) playing arrangements for four hands of music by Wagner. His enthusiasm for the German composer led to his appointment as choral coach, then assistant conductor at Bayreuth working under Felix Mottl and Hans Richter. Cortot's experiences in Bayreuth left him eager to introduce Wagner's music to French audiences, and in 1902 he founded the Société des Festivals Lyriques, through which in May of the same year he conducted the Paris première of Götterdämmerung. The following year Cortot organized another society, enabling him to give performances of major works such as Brahms's Requiem, Liszt's St Elisabeth, Beethoven's Missa Solemnis and Wagner's Parsifal, and not long after he became conductor of the Société Nationale, promoting works by contemporary French composers.
Cortot was a multi-faceted musician, a conductor and chamber music player as well as solo pianist. He formed a famous piano trio with Jacques Thibaud and Pablo Casals, but it was as a pianist for which he became renowned. He was appointed by Gabriel Fauré to a teaching post at the Paris Conservatoire, but was in such demand as a performer that he was invariably away on tour. In 1918 Cortot made his first tour of America, and during his second tour in 1920 he played all five of Beethoven's Piano Concertos in two evenings and Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30, with the composer present. Also at this time he founded the Ecole Normale de Musique, for which he appointed a hand-picked staff. Cortot himself taught there until 1961; his most famous students include Magda Tagliaferro, Clara Haskil and Yvonne Lefébure. Cortot was a great artist whose interpretations were often on a spiritual level. He managed to convey a depth of meaning through his playing and became associated with the works of Schumann, Debussy and particularly Chopin.
Throughout his long career Cortot recorded exclusively for HMV in London and Paris and its affiliate Victor in America. He recorded many works more than once, both by the acoustic and electrical process. The Second World War interrupted a complete recording of the works of Chopin that Cortot was making for HMV in Paris to mark the centenary of the composer's death. At the end of the War he was eager to continue this, but his wartime position as president of the professional committee of musical art, created by a Vichy law, caused animosity. In January 1947 the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire instructed its members not to perform with him in a performance of the Schumann Concerto. Cortot sued the French Musicians Union for damages but by 1950 the Paris Court of Appeal found he had no case; after many appeals and counter appeals, however, Cortot won the case in November 1953. Apparently, Cortot had been 'struck off' the membership of the Union in 1905 and the court found that the boycott had had 'a political and not a professional motive.'
Before Cortot's wartime activities became common knowledge, he had already written to HMV in London requesting a resumption of his complete Chopin cycle ready for the centenary of Chopin's death in 1949. Indeed, he had written as early as May 1945, but it was not until October 1947 that his first post-War sessions took place in England. He continued to record on a fairly regular basis each year when his tours led him to the United Kingdom.
On 5 May 1953 Cortot gave a 'Farewell Recital' at London's Festival Hall. He chose Chopin, and began with the complete Preludes, Op. 28. After referring to Cortot's reputation as 'a poet of the keyboard', one critic, no doubt fairly, commented that, 'Some of the simpler Preludes allowed him the rich chances to reveal this rare gift of poetry, but he was perhaps unwise to complete the evening with the two books of Etudes, Op. 10 and Op. 25, which, while demanding poetry, also require prestidigitation of the first order.'
At the end of the same week, on the 7 and 8 May 1953, Cortot recorded the three principal works heard on this compact disc. By this time HMV/EMI were recording on tape and it is impossible to tell from which sessions master tapes were assembled, but Cortot was an artist who relied on his inspiration, no doubt preferring to play through a work complete and not bother about patching sessions. He had first recorded the Piano Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor, Op. 35, by Chopin on 5 December 1927 but the recording was not issued. Six months later, on 5 June 1928, Cortot recorded the work again (Naxos 8.111065), and HMV permitted him to record it yet again only six years later in July 1933. After making another recording of the Sonata for Victor in 1952 whilst in Japan, Cortot made his final commercial recording of it in London in 1953. It is interesting to read in a letter to HMV that one of the reasons Cortot wanted to record the work again was because he felt his interpretation would be 'an example for the young pianists, who are so little imbued with the Romantic spirit.' Indeed, Cortot immediately sets a dramatic mood from the outset and although he was 75 at the time and his technique frail, he manages to capture the spirit of the whole work including the demanding last movement.
Cortot previously recorded Schumann's Kinderszenen, Op. 15, in 1935 and 1947. In this 1953 recording he begins rather hesitantly, with noticeable rubato in the first piece. Things then settle down and after a rather breathless Hasche-Mann, Cortot's familiar singing tone and poetic warmth come to the fore and he is particularly arresting in the intimate last two pieces—Child falling asleep and The poet speaks.
David Bicknell, Cortot's producer for the post-war sessions, had persuaded him to record shorter more lyrical pieces for two reasons – because he was aware of Cortot's failing technique, and that the 45rpm disc was at the time a popular format, replacing the 78rpm disc. It is surprising then to find Cortot recording large-scale works of Schumann, but on the other hand, these fitted perfectly onto one long- playing vinyl disc which HMV/EMI were beginning to produce at the time. A contemporary reviewer quibbled over wrong notes in the recording of Carnaval, Op. 9, and 'waywardness exaggerated into eccentricity (the eccentricities include, incidentally, an actual performance of the enigmatic Sphinxes)', but with hindsight Cortot's individual interpretation full of colour and character – so important in this work - is far preferable to more bland and uninspired subsequent accounts from lesser pianists. Although it was written about the 1947 recording of Kinderszenen, the following applies to Cortot's playing, and not only of Schumann. 'Those people who have been speaking about Cortot's playing with commiserating patronage –"handfuls of wrong notes, my dear"- should attune humble ears to his performance of the Kinderszenen and realise that there is probably not another pianist alive today who in spite of some inaccuracies, can re-create and, so perfectly express the warm youthful romanticism of this music.'

Producer's Note
Portions of the Chopin sonata suffer from tape flutter in the original master, while Carnaval's master has grittiness in some loud passages. Neither of these are a function of the LP pressings which were used for these transfers.

"We'll start with a few murders. Big men, little men — just to show we make no distinction." — From H. G. Wells' The Invisible Man
While doing some channel surfing while on a trip to Houston, I came across a new ad for Hotels.com done by 'Captain Obvious.' He is seen running on a treadmill proclaiming that he'll be "running all over America trying to win this presidential race." At the end of his promotional, he calls for support for his campaign and adds that you don't have to vote for him because "we live in a democracy."
Actually, we don't live in a democracy. Article IV, Sec. 4 of the Constitution states, "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government. . . ."
If we were a pure democracy, then all legislation could be secured by any vote of the people that's greater than 50 percent. If this were our form of government, we would not need a President, two houses of Congress, a Supreme Court, or a written Constitution. Everything would be done by plebiscite.
Trending: Meteorologist who Co-founded the Weather Channel Says "There is No Climate Crisis"
Unfortunately, our nation is moving in the direction of a pure democracy where 50+ percent of the people are ruling over the remaining 49+ percent. When a presidential candidate appeals to one group of voters by promising them free college tuition and free health care, this is democracy in action, giving the majority the authority and power to steal from the majority.
Someone has said that "democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
Wars are being fought to bring Democracy to Islamic nations with the result that the wolves are eating the lambs:
"Last February, the Islamic State blew up the major library of Mosul, wiping out over 10,000 books, some of them irreplaceable volumes dating back to the Ottoman Empire. A systematic effort to wipe out other libraries on Mosul has been under way ever since, along with the Islamic State's efforts to wipe out 'pagan' historical sites." (H/T:Breitbart)
What if a majority of Islamists vote to expel all Christians, burn their churches, and eradicate their history? The "will of the people" is not a fixed moral standard.
Giving the majority of people with a distorted worldview the right to make laws is insane. The talk from both ends of the political spectrum is that democracy will cure the ills of Iraq, Iran, and the surrounding Muslim nations. What if the "liberated" people of these nations, with a newly acquired right to vote, decide they want a Taliban-style social and political system whose goal is to defeat the infidel West and impose Sharia law on all Muslims? Democracy in the hands of wild-eyed fanatics is perilous. They will use the democratic process to deny the democratic process once they gain power through the democratic process.
It's no wonder that our founders had harsh things to say a democracy as a form of government.
John Winthrop (1587/88-1649) declared democracy to be "the meanest and worst of all forms of government."1 In the Federalist Papers (No. 10), James Madison wrote that democracies are "spectacles of turbulence and contention." Pure democracies are "incompatible with personal security or the rights of property. . . . In general [they] have been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."2 Francis Schaeffer described law by majority opinion, certainly a definition of democracy, as "the dictatorship of the 51%, with no controls and nothing with which to challenge the majority. . . . It means that if Hitler was able to get a 51% vote of the Germans, he had a right to kill the Jews."3
With the near rejection of the Christian faith in our day, democracy has become a substitute religion manipulated by a cabal of self-appointed philosopher kings to grow the State. "The prevalent tendency among modern political theorists is to define democracy without reference to a transcendent ethical standard."4

Boys eyes the glass where I could check my face
was on straight. And their pricks the long straight rule
to test my curves. I did not think to fool
and yet, finding myself in this new place,
I needed milestones. Found them in each bed
and then moved on. Then fate made me her bitch
my tight dress tore with fat, stitch after stitch,
in months I counted by each turning head
that turned away from me. Now I am wise
The love of women won by kindness, wit
and teasing's better than the useless shit
who fucks and leaves. Imagine my surprise
who learned from five short years, a surgeon's knife
lessons so cheap, they might have cost my life

It could be a hard-coded assumption, although it should be using rbconfig to find the files where they were built. What happens if you do this in IRB? >> require 'rbconfig' => true >> Config::CONFIG['includedir'] => "/usr/include" If you see "/usr/include" then the person who built your ruby built it with that as the system header directory. If you can't work out how to do this (and remember I'm not a Windows user so I can't help you much), I'd say your best option is to use the pure-ruby fcgi library. This is simply lib/fcgi.rb inside the gem. You can see that it tries to load fcgi.so, and if that fails, just builds the FCGI class from ruby code. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This is a very easy and quick way to make almond milk with the help of your Instant Pot. Normally you have to soak raw almonds for 12 hours or overnight (if you're looking for a Raw Almond Milk recipe, link here). I'll use this method when I need almond milk quickly and I haven't soaked my almonds – the almond flavor of the Instant Pot version is more mild compare to the Raw version – some people actually prefer this. You'll still reap all the wonder health benefits with vitamins like riboflavin, magnesium, it's alkaline-forming in your body, and it can help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol from the great amount of omega-3 fatty acids.
Instant Pot Almond Milk Recipe
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 3 minutes
Serves: 40 oz
Instant Pot Almond Milk Recipe
- Prep time: 5 minutes
- Cook time: 3 minutes
- Serves: 40 oz
- 1 Cup Raw Almonds
- 5 Cups Filtered Water
- 1 Teaspoon Agave, Honey or Maple, (Optional)
- 1)
Place 1 Cup of Almonds and 3 Cups of Water into the Instant Pot. Seal the lid and switch the knob to Sealing, set the Instant Pot for High Pressure / Manual for 3 minutes. Once the timer is up, switch the knob to Venting to release the pressure.
- 2)
Once the pin drops, open the lid and pour the almonds into a colander and rinse them under cold water for about 30 seconds (don't be alarmed if the water is copper color, it's from the almond skins). If you want to remove the almond skins, use your fingers to gently squeeze the almonds and loosen the skin and discard it – it usually takes me 5 minutes to do this step, but often times I skip it.
- 3)
Place the almonds, 5 Cups of Filtered Water and sweetener into a blender (you can use 3 or 4 Cups of water instead if you want a thicker texture). I use a Vitamix and I blend on the highest setting for 2 minutes. If you're blender isn't a high power blender, blend on the highest setting for 4 minutes.
- 4)
Strain the almond milk by pouring it into a nut milk bag over a large bowl. Squeeze very well so you can extract all the almond milk. Pour into a container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
*** You can turn the almond pulp into almond flour. Place the almond pulp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper – spread it out so it's a thin even layer of almond pulp. Place into the oven and set it for the lowest temperature for 3 hours or until the almond pulp is completely dry. Place the dried almond pulp into food processor and pulse until all the lumps are gone. Store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use in any recipe that calls for almond flour.

As glorious as a wedding, birthing
is one of the most important and
life-changing experiences of our lives.
Keidi Lim Birth Photography
As glorious as a wedding, birthing is one of the most important and life-changing experiences of our lives. That special day will be filled with so many different moments and emotions from the gentle touch of your partner, the reassuring support from your doula, the humour, the laughter, the tears, the intensity, the quiet and intimate presence, the joy of having your children around anticipating the arrival of their newborn sibling, daddy catching the baby at birth, cutting the umbilical cord and that very precious time of first skin to skin contact. Lots of things are happening, and everything is moving at an unpredictable pace.
You want to photograph your birth journey but the last thing you want are shaky and blurry images or having to miss a shot. Let Birth Photographer Keidi Lim of UNISON PHOTO capture it all for you on this beautiful day.
If your birth partners are trying to capture images, they aren't able to focus completely on you—or worse yet, they miss the important moments because they got caught up in the incredible emotion of it all. Having a professional photographer at your birth means you can be assured of the quality of the images, not having to worry about having the right equipment and dealing with a low light environment. All the important people at your birth will be included in the photos so that you can remember the experience just as it happened. It helps to take the pressure off your birth partners so they are able to focus on taking care of you so that you can have the birth experience you desire. As your birth unfolds, Keidi will be weaving your birth story, detailing glimpses of both the delicate moments as well as the big ones.
"What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduce."

does anyone else know that song?
Anyway...Thought I would share a little of our nighttime routine. Remember that post about "How in the heck is this breastfeeding thing even possible?" We have it perfected. Feeding totally on demand day and night. And I'm not going crazy. It works. Perfectly for us. I was so used to demand feeding a single baby, 3 isn't that much different. Just more. And since these are our last babies (*sniff, sniff*) I want to breastfeed as much as possible. I also get alot more one-on-one time with each baby, which I love. I've obviously gotten very good at tandem nursing. I can hook up 2 babies in about 15 seconds with no pillows. It's great. It's not the most attractive thing ever but it serves the purpose.
So, how goes the night your wondering?
Notice the spacing between the babies? That space is for me. When we start the night, all 3 babies are in the crib. As they wake up, I move them in with me. Luckily, so far, its been just one baby waking at a time. When they join me in bed, I feed them. As the next baby awakens, I move that one in with me and feed her. And the 3rd. Thus, creating the spaces. Throughout the night, I just move from space to space and feed whatever baby is hungry. This means I don't lose much sleep since I hook a baby up and go back to sleep. Once in awhile, 2 will want to eat at the same time. I do have to stay awake for that but I don't get up. How is that possible, you ask? Well, I stack them. Really. I lay on my side, feed that baby laying down, with the bottom boob, then lay another baby on top of that baby and hook her up to the top boob. I'm sure it is quite a site, but it works. Well. Very well actually. In the past week, I've had to use a bottle twice. TWICE. 3 babies, 7 days, 24 hours in each day, TWO bottles. Total. I'm very proud of that, can ya tell? Which also means, I don't have to pump. Thank God.

Amidst a vast black space, a light traces the outlines of objects and bodies: an old-style record player, a reel-to-reel recorder, a singer and his guitar, and creator and performer Tamara Saulwick. Under these illuminations a sort of conjuring is being conducted; voices are heard as if from the beyond. In fact, they come from various interview recordings, and they're cut together in a montage that serves as an homage to loved ones passed.
With candour and warmth, these recorded voices speak about mortality and loss. To hear them is a deeply touching experience, not least because of the artistry with which they're brought to the stage. Cut, warped and refracted through old technologies, the recordings form a richly textured sound-world from which myriad stories emerge. In this digital age, the analog elements are especially resonant, with voices emerging from the hiss and crackle of vinyl. It's the material and the intangible, meeting in the shared space of live performance.
[E]xtraordinary storytelling, marked not by sadness but awe… delivers on its promise to stay with you long after you leave.

|About this Recording
8.111344 - SCHUBERT, F.: Symphonies Nos. 8, "Unfinished" and 9, "Great" (Furtwangler) (1950-1951)
Great Conductors: Wilhelm Furtwängler (1886–1954)
Gustav Heinrich Ernst Martin Wilhelm Furtwängler was born in Berlin on 25 January 1886 and died in Baden-Baden on 30 November 1954. His father was an archaeologist and his mother a painter; such exploratory and creative qualities might be perceived in Furtwängler's distinctive and personal brand of musicianship. Wilhelm Furtwängler's musical education began at an early age (with his instrument being the piano) and was fuelled in particular by a love of Beethoven's music, which would develop into a lifetime's engrossment for him. Although his posthumous reputation is as a conductor of the Austro-German classics, kept alive through a relatively small official discography now swelled by many releases of exhumed concert-performances, Furtwängler was also a composer (and not the only composer-conductor to put the act of creation above that of re-creation: Boulez is, and Klemperer was, of a similar mind). Furtwängler's compositions include several pieces of expansive chamber music, a piano concerto, and three Bruckner-size symphonies.
Indeed, Bruckner's music was also a very important part of Furtwängler's repertoire (recordings, approved or otherwise, exist of Furtwängler conducting several of Bruckner's symphonies). Indeed it was Bruckner's Symphony No. 9 that Furtwängler included in his first concert (in 1907), which was with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra (owing to his father's teaching commitments, Wilhelm had spent his childhood in this city). Furtwängler then received engagements with various Austrian and German orchestras and opera houses until, in 1922, he was appointed to the celebrated Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, in succession to the legendary Arthur Nikisch, and also to the Berlin Philharmonic. For all that Furtwängler would have success with the Vienna Philharmonic and Philharmonia Orchestra (London), it is with the Berlin Philharmonic that he was and is most closely associated, and it is the Berliners that are heard on this celebrated recording of Schubert's Great C major Symphony from 1951, the Vienna Philharmonic doing the honours for the universally popular Unfinished.
Not that Furtwängler's repertoire was limited to the Austro-German classics, for he conducted the premières of, for example, Hindemith's Symphony Mathis der Maler, in 1934, and Schoenberg's (masterly if then 'newly complex') Variations for Orchestra, Op. 31, in 1928. Nor was Furtwängler a stranger to Bartók's music—in 1927 he had conducted the first performance of Piano Concerto No. 1 with the composer as the soloist, and over twenty years later recorded Violin Concerto No. 2 with Yehudi Menuhin (Naxos 8.111336)—and there are in circulation concert-recordings of Furtwängler conducting Ravel and Stravinsky, and also pieces by his German composer contemporaries such as Hans Pfitzner and Wolfgang Fortner. To this current release though, which couples Furtwängler's recordings of Franz Schubert's two best-known symphonies.
The Unfinished is perhaps music that we have become too familiar with and take for granted, and if its two-movement design seems the perfect equivalent of two sides of the same coin, then this was not Schubert's intention given his sketches for a Scherzo and Finale (and, indeed, that the symphony can now be performed in complete form thanks to musicologist editors). Furtwängler's approach to the first movement is to direct a straightforward and seamless exposition (not repeated) and to then take the listener close to the abyss come the development section; the music aches with intensity and the trombones are quite terrifying in their baleful interjections; not so much too loud as warning a dire summons. By the close of the first movement we are invited to share Schubert's deep introspection, something continued into the second movement, which conjures sadness, resignation, rage and, finally solace; could anything follow such an outpouring? Furtwängler suggests not.
Such digging deep into music's resources also distinguishes Furtwängler's conducting of Schubert's Symphony No. 9 (numbered as No. 8 in German-speaking countries, the Unfinished as No. 7—although, once again, owing to the work of others, a 'Schubert Seventh' is now performable). Schubert had indicated to friends that it was his ambition to write a "grand symphony" and that works such as the Octet and other chamber and instrumental pieces were signposts to his ultimate symphonic goal. With the Unfinished Symphony, Schubert had broken through barriers to a heightened sense of expression, and with the C major Symphony (nicknamed 'Great' to distinguish it from Symphony No. 6, which is also in C major), Schubert produced a symphony of power and weight with each movement being cast to a similar (large) dimension and with a rhythmic unity that propels the symphony to inexorable climaxes and ultimate resolution. The march-like slow movement (Andante con moto) contains some of the most wondrous and emotionally explosive music that Schubert ever composed, something that Furtwängler exploits to the full. Indeed, Furtwängler searches the music and asks questions of it.
In today's concern for 'authenticity', this symphony can emerge as a study in rhythm, maybe rather wearing across the span of four extensive movements. Furtwängler's approach is a flexible one and not the only way of course (at least one version conducted by Sir Adrian Boult is a mandatory part of a serious collection of this work)—but Furtwängler is not afraid of different pulses or investing emotion into music that can seem arid if, once set in motion, it is then presented as if cut from too similar cloth. Indeed Furtwängler's response of power, passion and communicative expression, which inform this performance, are nothing less than innate, the slow movement burdened and searching for paradise, momentarily achieved, before letting out all of the composer's pent-up frustration. This is the heart of the symphony and of this performance, opening up vistas that other accounts come nowhere near. If the Scherzo could be a more vital dance, again Furtwängler avoids metronomic insistence; and the finale is a tour de force of sustained momentum if not without changes of pulse.
Although this is music from two hundred or so years ago, its timeless quality and universal meaning are typical of great music that musicians and listeners spend their lives investigating. One senses with Furtwängler that music was indivisible with life. Leading up to the years of World War II, and during that conflict, Furtwängler, because he remained in Germany (other prominent musicians went into exile), was branded a Nazi (or certainly a member of the Nazi Party). Although, post-war, he was cleared of such associations, this stigma dogged his career for quite some time. The afore-mentioned Yehudi Menuhin, a Jew, worked with Furtwängler in the conductor's last years, although before the war he had refused to do so. Furtwängler explained his actions thus: 'I knew Germany was in a terrible crisis. I felt responsible for German music, and it was my task to survive this crisis, as much as I could. The concern that my art was misused for propaganda had to yield to the greater concern that German music be preserved, that music be given to the German people by its own musicians. These people, the compatriots of Bach and Beethoven, of Mozart and Schubert, still had to go on living under the control of a regime obsessed with total war. No one who did not live here himself in those days can possibly judge what it was like.' Maybe, with these post-war recordings, these words are etched into the performances enshrined therein.

Amagansett's Alec Baldwin took home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the 69th annual Primetime Emmys Sunday for his impression of Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live (SNL). This was his third Emmy win and 18th nomination.
The actor beat fellow funnymen Louie Anderson (Baskets), Ty Burrell (Modern Family), Tituss Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Tony Hale (Veep) and Matt Walsh (Veep) in the category.
"I suppose I should say, at long last, Mr. President, here is your Emmy," Baldwin said as he accepted the award from presenters Seth Meyers and James Corden.
President Trump, of course, wasn't always a politician. During his time as a reality TV icon, Trump's long running reality competition show The Apprentice was nominated for eight Emmy Awards but never won. He's since held the Emmys in disdain, and it's likely 2017's show, including Baldwin's win and host Stephen Colbert's many jabs at Trump, didn't help.
Baldwin thanked wife Hilaria Baldwin, adding, "My wife and I had three children in three years, but we didn't have a child last year during the SNL season. I wonder if there's a correlation there? All you men out there, you put that orange wig on—it's birth control, trust me."
Fellow Trump administration impersonators on SNL Kate McKinnon (as Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway) and Melissa McCarthy (as former Press Secretary Sean Spicer) also won Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series and Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, respectively.
On a related note, Spicer appeared on the show at the behest of Colbert, who used him to make a joke about the crowd size at this year's Emmys. Baldwin actually posed for a shot with Spicer—or maybe Spicer actually posed for a shot with Baldwin…it probably depends on who you ask.
Baldwin was also nominated in the Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program category for ABC's Match Game, but he lost to RuPaul Charles, host of RuPaul's Drag Race on Logo TV.
Later, Baldwin and fellow Hampton fan Edie Falco presented the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series to Donald Glover, who plays Earn on FX's excellent half-hour comedy Atlanta.
Baldwin played Trump in 15 episodes of SNL Season 42, which had a total of 21 episodes. He also appeared in the role on an episode of SNL's summer spinoff Weekend Update. He will return as Trump on SNL's Season 43, starting with the first episode on Saturday, September 30 on NBC.

Poland's accession to the European Union
Fri 12/10/2001
The Financieele Dagblad of 27 September 2001 reported the following comments made by a senior Commission official: "The enlargement without Poland would be the same as the introduction of the euro without Germany".
Does the European Commission share my view that each country should be judged individually in the light of the accession criteria originally laid down, and that Poland is no exception?
Does the European Commission likewise share my view that the accession of the other applicant countries should not be delayed by any failure on Poland's part to meet the criteria?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. One one-thousand. Two one-thousand. Three one-thousand. Four one-thousand. Five... ---Roger Rabbit
-Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
I often wonder how The BF and I ended up together.
I have many many times blogged about the difference between me and The BF.
I have blogged about us having nothing in common.
We see the world very differently.
We both love football but he likes the one team I love to hate.
And don't get me started on our different decorating style.
|My color inspiration!!!
The BF is
All my life I have wanted to paint a wall red...maybe not all my life but for sure the last 10 years.
I have mostly lived in apartments or rented houses and the landlords usually frown about painting walls red.
I even tried to get my mom to paint a wall in her house red but she never would let me paint it red. (my sisters tried to help me talk mom into painting the wall red but mom still refused).
But The BF only put up a token protest when I said I wanted to paint a wall red. In fact he is very excited about the red (its a bit more cinnamon but still red)...the yellow is another story. The yellow he is unsure about but he will come around.
So today I love him because even when he doesn't "see" my vision he supports them no matter....although he may question my sanity.

Our new research, which explores the maturity of data-driven marketing in 2017, reveals that a significant data science skills gap is preventing businesses from delivering a personalised customer experience and accurately calculating ROI.
Despite nine in 10 marketers (92%) agreeing that data management is a key priority for their business, two-fifths of marketers (40%) believe a lack of data and analytical skills is preventing them from delivering effective customer relationship management (CRM) strategies.
62% of marketers say CRM is the most important skill for marketers today
Additionally, three in five respondents (62%) said CRM is the most important marketing skill in today's climate, and nearly two-thirds (65%) said the availability of data is one of their brand's greatest strengths.
Brands are lagging behind with personalisation of communications
The report, which captured the views of over 250 managerial to c-level marketers across four industry sectors, also reveals that over half (65%) of marketers do none, only basic, or segmentation-based personalisation of communications, with less than a tenth (8%) fully personalising the customer experience across channels.
82% of marketers use only single touchpoint attribution
Brands are also lagging behind when it comes to measuring ROI and attribution across channels, with only one in five (18%) using advanced attribution models. When it comes to measuring marketing effectiveness, nearly six in 10 respondents (59%) agreed that accurately attributing value across all channels is vitally important to their organisation, yet less than a fifth (18%) said they use advanced attribution techniques.
The telecommunications industry is the most confident with its data-driven marketing capabilities, with over half of respondents (51%) saying they are ahead or significantly ahead of their competitors. The financial services sector is the least confident (33%), and the retail and travel sectors reported equal levels of confidence at 41% each.
Competing with data science
The 2017 data-driven marketing report reveals that while the vast majority of marketers understand the positive impact data-driven marketing can have on customer relationships and ROI, they lack the capabilities, knowledge and confidence needed to utilise the abundance of data available to them. With the rapid pace of change in the technological landscape, it is more essential than ever for marketers to ensure their marketing is data-driven, customer centric, personalised and measureable.
From precise targeting and accurately attributing value across all channels, to providing insight for the creative aspects of the job, data has the potential to transform businesses. The Government's Digital Strategy highlights data as a key catalyst for the development of the UK economy, and businesses need to be prepared to take advantage of the technology and data driving this growth.
As data continues to proliferate, the challenges in managing it do too. Technologies will eventually catch up in terms of data processing, insight and automation, particularly as Artificial Intelligence becomes more prevalent. However, even with emerging technologies, marketers will still need to be able to plug them in to legacy systems and use analytically derived insight to stay ahead of the game. By adopting best practice data-driven marketing today and looking for help from experts, brands can effectively plug the data skills gap.
You can access the full report and a summary for each sector here.

Oculus Rift Picks Up Another System Seller: A Sex Simulator
- Related Games:
- The Walking Dead: Season One
Have you ever been sitting in your office chair bored, wishing you were on the beach with some fly hunnies? Don't worry, you'll be big pimpin' in no-time. Well, assuming you plan on getting an Oculus Rift, anyway.
A team of eight veteran developers are working on Wicked Paradise, the world's first virtual reality intercourse simulator. It's built specifically to take advantage of the Oculus Rift's 1080p monitors and head-tracking which offer an immersive bedroom experience unlike any other.
In order to make the fantasy experience as realistic as possible motion capture is being utilized on an attractive model and rendered in the Unreal Engine (although the engine may change). You'll enjoy a high polygon count like never before.
Wicked Paradise won't descriminate, either. The team plans to follow The Walking Dead's episodic format with a series of releases that cater to everyone including those in the LGBT community. If you want a one virtual night stand with a man in a speedo, that's your prerogative!
Presently, Wicked Paradise is on-track to release simultaneously with the Oculus Rift in 2014. There's never been a better time to be interested in the virtual-reality device that everyone's talking about.

Joebeth Molero DMD
"To me, happiness is being a dentist!
The satisfaction of restoring a person's smile so they can enjoy showing it is priceless. When I was a little girl, I loved to visit my father's dental office to observe his work and ever since then, I could not picture myself being anything other than a dentist. I always felt a strong desire to being a dentist because of my compassion to others. My desire was embedded to do something for someone else.
In my work still today, I help others who have not been able to smile in a long time and I ease their pain. To allow my patients this happiness drives my work, and this is my passion.
Once in a while, I get a sincere "thank you" or even a hug from a patient that makes my day and reassures me that I really am doing what I love to do. This is why I am here!"

A year later she moved to Parkland, Florida, where she became licensed by the Florida Board of Dentistry.

"I love my job!
Being able to provide my patients with beautiful smiles is such a gift!
I truly believe dentistry is an art, and here at West Glades Dental, we are devoted to providing masterpieces in the most gentle and comfortable environment possible. Being a third-generation dentist, I was raised surrounded with amazing dentists and surgeons, always having fun playing with dental instruments in my parents' offices. Things have not changed much. I still enjoy it every day and "playing with dental instruments" became my passion. Now my oldest daughter, now 8 years old, comes to play in the office. She puts on a mask and gloves and never wants to leave!
Outside of the office, I enjoy art on every level. Painting and dancing are my relaxation routines. I've been blessed with the most beautiful family; my amazing husband and my gorgeous little girls have me head over heels!
I look forward to taking care of you and giving you a healthy, beautiful smile!"

Ubisoft resurrecting the first game in the series?
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 22nd, May. 2013 Under News
Before Ubisoft Montreal took us on a journey of mercenaries, blood diamonds, malaria and assassins in Far Cry 2 – and, well, pretty much the same thing in Far Cry 3, only much better – publisher Ubisoft had newbie Crytek develop the first Far Cry.
Needless to say, it was pretty good. Good enough to warrant a revisit, if a recent Brazilian Ratings Classification listing has anything to say about it.
The listing shows Far Cry HD being registered by Ubisoft on November 20th 2012 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game is rated as "not recommended for children under 16 years". Considering that Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was leaked in a similar way, it only makes sense that this would be legit.
But would a Far Cry with new high resolution graphics and perhaps some gameplay tweaks appeal to consumers in this day and age? We'll soon find out, but let us know in the comments if you'd be interested in an HD remake of the first game.
