The Amalfi Coast: itineraries
Villa Il Frantoio in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, itineraries of a unique charm
The B&b Villa Il Frantoio is a b&b in the Amalfi coast; it is located in the core of Praiano, on Via Francesco Russo 36, just a few minutes walk from the centre of Vettica Maggiore.
The main Sita bus stop, as well as restaurants and bars are nearby. Here at the villa you will enjoy the evening sun until 8:30 pm during the summer and the splendid view of Capri, Positano and Li Galli island. The walk from the parking area to the villa consists of approximately 40 steps and leads to a communal path of about 200 meters. The walk to the village center is about 200 steps. Parking facilities are available at 12 Euros per day. It is advisable to make parking arrangements prior to your arrival.
Praiano and Vettica are ancient villages like all others on the Amalfi Coast, and are situated halfway between Positano and Amalfi. The origins of these two villages are unfortunately unknown to us because of the few documents found so far. Praiano, Antica Plagianum, facing east gives you the opportunity to enjoy the sun and moonrise, whilst Vettica Maggiore (where il Frantoio is set) faces west and from there you can admire wonderful sunsets behind the "Faraglioni" of Capri. Praiano has always been a fishing village and until few years ago fishing was the main profession. The old village was situated by the sea, but due to the saracen's invasion, pestilences, and other natural calamities, they were obliged to move higher up in the mountains for safety reasons.
During the "Angioino" and Preroyal periods many fortresses were built along the sea. Many of these are still in good condition and can be seen along our marvellous coast. They also built a lot of houses with Mediterranean style roofs, looking like eagles nests lying among the rocks and terraced gardens with dry built walls made of local stones. The villagers also took up farming and grew products typical of the region such as citrus fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, grapes, barley.
The council crest of Praiano includes oranges in it's design , signifying the importance of agriculture. In the "Angioino" time, Praiano was bestowed the title of Universitas, an honour only few villages received. With that title, Praiano was able to become more independent. Still its financial relationship with Amalfi lasted until the 17th century. Silk and linen manufacturing along with the art of creating fishing nets provided other means of making a living. Men, apart from being good fishermen, used to fish and sell local corals to the factories of Torre del Greco.
In 1924 a very bad landslide destroyed the Praia beach area. It was disastrous for the village as it was the location where most activities took place and where most local goods were traded. The "Cala della Gavitella", located at Vettica di Praiano, another beach similar to the Praia , was also used as a trading place and for the storage of goods in the so called "magazzeni". Spread around both villages 15 churches and chapels were built, with most being for private use. The two main churches were built after the Lepanto battle at the end of the 16th century: the Church of Saint Luca is located in Praiano and Saint Gennaro in Vettica Maggiore.
Staying at a bed and breakfast in Praiano as Villa Il Frantoio, means fully enjoy the wonders of these places, because the b&b is just a short walk from all the beauty of the Amalfi Coast: Amalfi, Capri, Ravello, Sorrento.. real gems of nature!

What is the DockingScore and how do I use it?
A ligand's Docking Score is the sum of the GlideScore plus the state penalty for a given protonation or tautomeric state for a ligand. Rank-ordering ligands according to their Docking Score ensures that unfavorable but energetically accessible protonation and tautomeric states are penalized accordingly.
The state penalty for ligand protonation and tautomeric states is calculated during ligand preparation, prior to docking. When you dock the ligands using Glide, the state penalty will be automatically added to the GlideScore to create the DockingScore if you tell Glide to do so. To calculate the DockingScore, you must carry out the following steps:
1: In the LigPrep panel, select "Generate possible states" using "Epik", and then process your ligands with Ligprep.
2: In the Glide Ligand Docking panel, turn on the option "Add Epik state penalties to docking score" when you are setting up your docking experiment.
Keywords: DockingScore, GlideScore, Glide, state, penalty, ionization, docking, Epik

Online backup is cool
Online backup is great ! Till last week, I was backing up my data on a NAS server.
Indeed, I was quite afraid to store my data copies on a public cloud as I was not sure about data protection. This is my data and I did not want anybody to access my data.
But, last week, I found this best cloud storage list, and I found out most of these providers had also online backup services coming with some huge encryption key.
So, I highly recommend this website http://best-cloud-storage.org, they made some really good reviews of best online backup providers.

"Dancing with the Stars" is a popular television program on ABC that a lot of people love to watch. Many have often wondered what the professional dancers get paid for dancing.
What the professional dancers get for working two seasons a year on the popular reality dance show is a well-kept secret. However, there have been speculations about what they get.
The professional dancers on "Dancing with the Stars" give up their lives for the show, working up to 10 weeks of air time, plus about a month of pre-season rehearsals.
The celebs reportedly make upwards of $200,000 per season, even if they are eliminated first, with bonuses if they make the finals.
The professional dancers salary has reportedly gone up from $1,000 per week to $5,200 per week.
And there's a good chance veteran pros like Derek Hough, Cheryl Burke, Karina Smirnoff, Tony Donolani, Mark Ballas, and Maksim Chmerkovskiy make a lot more than the newbies.
Because of the success of the show, making $5,200 per week might be a low figure. The only thing we know for sure is that the pros dance all the way to the bank.
We must also remember that during the pros' off-seasons from "Dancing with the Stars," they have other gigs. Some of them have their own dance studios that keep money coming in.

"A CFO can ask, 'How am I going to present all that data? And what is it telling me?' You really need to ask, 'So what?' Before you build massive technology to report and store data, you need to know what the business purpose is." —Dallas Clement, CFO of Atlanta, Georgia–based Auto Trader
"You can continue on your current path. You can also adopt a coexistence solution, or you can simply embrace the complete family of Oracle Fusion Applications. Either way, we are going to protect your investment.

I owe everything to the people who braved the oh so early mornings and conditions out there, it is only because of their dedication and love of art that this book came about at all. There were moments of sheer beauty when the air was perfectly still and the sun had painted a watercolor sky, there were times it was blazing hot and Amy asked me "where to next?" I feel so blessed to be able to offer Desert Nudes, my humble tribute to a love of the desert, the balance of spirit and beauty of nature, it was a long, sometimes agonizing road and I would travel it again.... in a heartbeat.
For me beauty is everywhere, even in remote, forgotten, abandoned and forsaken places. My goal is to present through photography a celebration of the beauty and humanity in nature. The art models in my work represent the harmony between humanity and the environment however harsh that environment might be, nature provides us the opportunity to contemplate, to explore, to experience and to celebrate. I hope to convey both the beauty and the wonder as it exists in our world, even off the beaten path and in an unforgiving climate.

I want to filter and block failed attempt to access my proftp server. Here is an example line from the /var/log/secure file:

There are several lines like this. I would like to block any attempts like this from any IP twice. Here's a script I'm trying to run to block those IPs.
tail -1000 /var/log/secure | awk '/proftpd/ && /Maximum login/ { if (/attempts/) try[$7]++; else try[$11]++; }

if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
# echo "already denied ip: [$ip]" ;
logger -p authpriv.notice "*** Blocking ProFTPD attempt from: $ip"
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -s $ip -j DROP
how can I select the IP with "awk". with the current script it's selecting "(22.214.171.124[220.127.116.11])" this line completely. But i only want to select the IP.

Children who were shown digital images of fresh fruits and vegetables were more likely choose to eat them over more traditional foods like burgers and fries, researchers at Iowa State University have found.
The researchers conducted a study this month at the YMCA of Greater Des Moines camp for children ages 6-12 with diabetes.
Campers were offered a nutritionally balanced menu, including foods like tacos, sloppy joes and fruits and vegetables. They also had the option of a salad bar, ISU said in a news release.
The reseachers found that salad consumption among children increased by as much as 90 percent when they saw a digital display of a rotating image of a salad.
Kitchen staff weighed the salad bar items before and after each meal to calculate consumption. The digital sign has the largest affect on boys, who were between 50 percent and 70 percent more likely to serve themselves from the salad bar when the digital image showed a picture of a salad, researchers said.
"The cool effect that we found and didn't expect was with boys," said Laura Smarandescu, an assistant professor of marketing at ISU. "It makes sense because boys like video games and interact more with technology. We noticed many boys stopping to look at the display and their behavior seemed to be more influenced by the presence of the display."
The results from the field study mirror what Smarandescu and Brian Mennecke, an associate professor information systems, found in the lab. When given the choice between a still photo of a particular food or a rotating image, participants in the lab chose the rotating menu item.
"The more vivid the image, in terms of movement, color and accuracy of representation, the more realistic, the more it's going to stimulate your response to it," Mennecke said. "You respond to the image on the display like you would respond to a plate in front of you. If you're hungry you respond by saying, 'I'll have what's in that picture.'"
Iowa State researchers believe a digital display can motivate students to make better choices in the same way.
"We're hoping that these displays – a small, low-cost intervention – could lead to large-scale behavior changes," Smarandescu said. "Students will feel like they made the decision themselves as opposed to being told to take the healthier option."

You may even be surprised to discover that you owe a considerable amount in taxes. If you did not have enough withheld during the year or if you did not make quarterly estimated tax payments, you may also owe an underpayment penalty. You should receive a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, from every employer you had during the year. Contact your former employer if you do not receive Form W-2 by January 31. Jackson Hewitt may be able to download your W-2. Click here to find out if we can help you download yours. If your former employer is no longer in business, you may be able to use your last pay stub to arrive at your taxable income. If you collected unemployment benefits during the year, you should receive Form 1099-G, Certain Government Payments. All state unemployment benefits are taxable income for federal tax purposes and are reported on Form 1099-G, Box 1. The federal withholding amount, if any, is reported in Box 4. If you started your own business during the year, or offered your services as a consultant while looking for a new job, your income is considered self-employment income. You may receive a Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, which reports some of this income. If you are considered self-employed and your net earnings are $400 or more, you must pay self-employment tax on the income you received. In addition, you may need to make estimated payments to cover the amount of self-employment tax or income tax associated with the income you earned. If you withdrew funds from a time-savings account or other deferred interest account before maturity, you may be charged a penalty. This amount is reported on Form 1099-INT, Interest Income, Box 2. You must include in income all the interest shown on Form 1099-INT, Box 1 but you can deduct the penalty against your income. You can deduct the entire penalty, even if it is more than your interest income. If you withdrew an amount from your traditional IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan or annuity, and you were not age 59½, the distribution is generally subject to tax and, in most cases, is subject to an additional 10% tax on early distributions. You should receive Form 1099-R, Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc. The payer will indicate that your distribution was an early withdrawal with no known exception using code 1 in Box 7. However, you may be able to reduce the additional 10% tax on withdrawals from your traditional IRA if any of the following exceptions apply: You have unreimbursed medical expenses that are more than 10% of your adjusted gross income (you do not have to itemize your deductions to take advantage of this exception) You have unreimbursed medical insurance premiums for yourself, your spouse, or your dependents and you met all four of the following conditions: You lost your job You received unemployment compensation for 12 consecutive weeks You received the distribution during the year you received the unemployment compensation or the following year You received the distributions no later than 60 days after you have been reemployed You have qualified higher education expenses at an eligible education institution for yourself, your spouse, or your children or grandchildren You are age 55 or greater and are separated from the service of an employer making a distribution from a 401(k) plan You are disabled If you were a student during the tax year, you may be able to use your qualified education expenses, such as tuition fees, to reduce your taxes. You may be eligible for either of the education credits (the American Opportunity Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit). If you are making payments on a student loan you previously took out, up to $2,500 of the interest may also be deductible. This deduction is available even if you do not itemize. If you have any of these expenses, you should receive Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, which reports the tuition payments you made or Form 1098-E, Student Loan Interest Statement, which reports the interest you paid. You may also be able to reduce your taxes by deducting certain other unreimbursed expenses such as expenses for travel, tolls, parking, employment agency fees, long-distance phone calls, career counseling, and typing, printing, copying, or mailing resumes for job hunting as long as the job you are searching for is in your present field of employment. You can deduct these even if you did not get the job. If you accepted a job and had to relocate, you may be able to deduct any qualified moving expenses not reimbursed by your new employer.

Secrets of Success
No weight change.
Friday, July 12, 2013
Tomorrow is the official weigh in day but I had a peek today to see if I had any change and no!
I will be doing my measurements tomorrow and hope for lots of inches lost. This is very frustrating. I have never experience a stall this early in my weight loss journey before. This is a test of patience which I have little of. So the changes I tried to make last week: eat more, add 4 tbsp of heavy whipping cream to my two shakes and to eat veggies as my snacks. I will make more of an effort to implement these changes this week. I increased and changes my workout routine, I now use the row machine and elliptical at the gym. I will add weights 2 times a week starting next week. I really dont have any other ideas as to how to get out of the 200's I start my new job on the 22 and I dont have alot of clothes in this size. I need to be in a size 12 but I do have great work clothes in 14. So getting from 16 to 14 would be great. I really think its my calorie intake I am a lil over 1000 cals a day and I need to be close to 1500 a day. I am just not that hungry and its hurting my progress. I will have to find other healthy ways to sneak in fats, I also stopped eating pork rinds and I have started to make some dips with sour cream to eat cucumbers and celery with. I just added more carbs yesterday to allow more veggies from 25to30.( my tolerance is 45 for owl) I am trying to take this as a time to learn what works for my body. If I have not lost inches or lbs by next week I am starting over in induction. This is very frustrating. I feel like I have become obsessed with everything low carb. I am constantly goggling and buying or borrowing all the books I can find on the subject. I have so much information to decipher its crazy. I love the low carb group I get a lot of info there and things I can try and implement. I guess its all about trial and error to discover what I need to do. But I didnt start this stall till I increased my cardio! I really dont want to try not exercising a week to discover that now I should just stop. I need the stress release. I have blab long enough time to start my day! Gotta go grocery shopping and the dog just drank my morning shake! Just great!
Hope your day is bright!

Watch those dairy products close and for hidden sugars in stuff like drink mixes. Drink mixes for water often read 0 carbs but they have hidden sugars that can stall you. Many people cant eat dairy or very much of it at all if they want to lose. Make SURE you are getting in enough water. For most 64oz a day is just not enough I have to get in at least 120oz my hubby drink more like 180oz I know it maybe hard for you but water can be all you need to do different to lose. I don't really understand why it takes so much water to lose but it does. You cant just sip water all day you have to drink it and know how much you drink. Sipping you may not be getting in the amount you think you are. We use a water bottle and refill it to keep up with ours.
Doing all that exercise you may want to put your caloires at 1800 if 1500 dont wotk. Cooking your food in/with some good oils will bump you calories up there if your not hungry.

A husband and wife from Long Island are under arrest and facing criminal charges after allegedly leaving their four children alone at home without food or heat for six days while they stayed at a hotel, Suffolk County police charged Feb. 13.
Police launched an investigation after Central Islip school system officials notified cops that the children – ages 4 to 15 – were left alone at the family's home without food or heat, a police news release said.
Authorities said the children were left unsupervised for six consecutive days beginning last Friday. The parents, cops said, went to stay at a nearby hotel while their four children remained in the home with frigid temperatures and no food.
Police charged the parents – Tulio Ayala, 34, and Maria Ayala, 31 – with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor. The two were scheduled to face a judge Thursday for arraignment on the misdemeanor offenses.
Officials said the children, who were not injured, were released to a family member's custody.

On Wednesday, March 5 Wetpaint Entertainment posted spoilers for the characters of Glenn Rhee and Maggie Greene on the fourth season of "The Walking Dead," which reveal that the duo may not find each other in the final four episodes of the season.
Maggie (Lauren Cohan) managed to find the prison bus overturned on the road and killed all the walkers inside looking for Glenn in an earlier episode. Meanwhile, Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Tara encountered Rosita, Abraham, and Eugene on the road and after a fight managed to make their way back towards the prison bus.
Cohan mentioned that Glenn is "as weak without her as she is without him" and they are both determined to find each other. Glenn already refers to Maggie was his wife although they only got engaged while at the prison. Both characters appear in the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, but their storyline has changed on the television series so it's unclear if both of them will make it out of season four alive.
In the upcoming thirteenth episode, "Alone," Maggie and the others are surrounded by walkers in a thick fog and the odds are not good. Glenn on the other hand seems to be out of the woods with the illness that he acquired at the prison. It's unclear if the pair will meet up before the season finale, but Cohan revealed that Maggie is "very motivated" to find Glenn and doesn't believe he is dead.
"Alone" will air Sunday, March 9 at 9 p.m. on AMC. There are only four more episodes left in the fourth season, which will wrap up at the end of March. A fifth season of the popular series has already been ordered and filming will begin in May outside Atlanta.

Welcome , all to Fat Beagle Brewery and BBQ joint for tonight's Beer of the Week!
I find it hard to believe that I completely missed this one at my local beer store this fall. Oh, that's right, I didn't! They didn't get it in until two weeks ago. Better late than never I suppose. So, on with the review.
The can is a nicely stylized standard Guinness can containing the graphic below with widget developed by Guinness . Dubliners are very particular about their pint, so that is why they figured out the now ubiquitous Widget that releases the Nitrogen into the beer thus making it set up almost exactly like a pub poured draught. It is better than rocket science and dare i say better than brain surgery because without the widget, your pint just isn't quite right. That said, I'm not sure how they got their head to do what it does in the second picture. This pours exactly like normal Guinness Stout in the Widget can.
It is indeed red, a nice dark red with a proper Guinness head. It is sweeter, maybe a little maltier, not as distinct on the pallet as Draught Guinness. Toffee and Caramel? sure, there is a hint of them but it is by no means overpowering. The toffee/caramel comes at the end. Its a real quick taste, then it is gone. Where standard Guinness uses twice the amount of hops as regular beers, This Red seems to not have that punch at the end, but it does have a faint Irish Whiskey peaty maltness…
So, It isn't a traditional Stout, too weak in the palette for that. It is a good one for having a few with mates. Very drinkable, I'll buy a case of it again and put it in the cellar to have on hand for guests who aren't as 'adventurous' in their beers. It was a good attempt as something different. I hope they keep up the attempts and make something new every year.
Mrs Coldwarrior says she prefers this to standard Guinness, but I always knew she was a KGB plant. 😆
MAGH SLÉCHT, IRELAND (Aug 2013) – Celebrating ancient Celtic traditions, Guinness & Co. today announced that GUINNESS® Red Harvest Stout, a new, limited edition seasonal beer, will be available in the United States this fall. This new craft brew, which captures the spirit of the fall season, provides a change of pace from the array of pumpkin beers often available this time of year while incorporating centuries old Celtic traditions.
With GUINNESS® Red Harvest Stout, the makers of GUINNESS bring to the American beer drinker the ancient Celtic tradition of Samhain. In centuries past, Samhain (pronounced saw-wen) was the festival held every year on All Hallows' Eve in celebration of the end of the fall harvest and the coming of winter. Legend tells that on this night, restless spirits are beckoned from the darkness with bonfires and sweet offerings from the bountiful fall harvest. GUINNESS® Red Harvest Stout captures the spirit of this ancient Celtic tradition and represents Guinness' brewmasters' own crafting of this special offering to adult consumers for this fall season.
GUINNESS® Red Harvest Stout celebrates the brand's brewing tradition with its mildly sweet, velvety taste and deep red hue. The stout is crafted with a blend of lightly roasted barley which allows for aromas of caramel and toffee and is supported by a sweet malty taste. When poured into a pint glass, the nitrogen widget creates the iconic surge, unleashing the sweet and alluring flavors and delivering a distinctively smooth, flavorful taste experience to be enjoyed responsibly.
"GUINNESS® Red Harvest Stout is perfect for Fall and offers a great change of pace from the pumpkin seasonals crowding beer shelves," said Doug Campbell, Brand Director, GUINNESS beer. "GUINNESS® Red Harvest Stout has a unique ancient Celtic connection with Halloween through the story of Samhain, and we encourage adult beer fans to enjoy it in moderation with friends and family."

Sometimes somebody that truly deserves to be sent home on a results show after a poor performance the previous night actually does get the boot. It is rare but it happens. A case in point: Thursday night's "American Idol" Top 11 results show, where not only did all three of the finalists that landed on the Silver Stools of Uncertainty deserve to be there, but the contestant sent home definitely had one of the two worst performances of the night. So who got eliminated from "Idol," missed the Top 10 and, unfortunately for their bank accounts, missed on all that extra money made during the summer on the "American Idol 'LIVE' Tour"?
Right from the start, you knew that the Top 11 results show was going to deliver something unexpected. Why? Because host Ryan Seacrest said so. And as Michael Slezak at TVLine recapped on March 13, one had to immediately wonder if the "Idol" judges were going to use their one-and-only seasonal Save.
So who wouldn't make the bottom three? M. K. Nobilette, who escaped elimination two straight weeks while sitting atop a silver stool? Malaya Watson, who made the bottom three on the Top 13 results show? Or Jena Irene, who was a Top 12 bottom dweller?
First up: Ryan calls out for C. J. Harris, Dexter Roberts, and Caleb Johnson to join him on stage. Now, the only one that might have a shot at landing a silver stool should be Dexter (although his performance the night before wasn't really worthy of potential elimination). C. J. and Caleb gave two of the best performances -- maybe "the" two best -- on Wednesday night. Ryan then tells all three that they are safe and have a place on the tour.
The first performance of the night belongs to Harry Connick Jr. He performed two of his songs, of which he has hundreds. He has promised pounding on the ivories but, if he is to make good on the promise, it will have to be on song number two. And it is. As airy and sexy-smooth as the "One Fine Thing" was, the second, "Come By Me," was pure New Orleans boogie with playful piano chops.
Then it's time for more results. Ryan names M. K. Nobilette, Ben Briley, Majesty Rose, and Malaya Watson. He tells Malaya she's safe. Then, surprisingly enough, M. K. gets to go on tour as well without having to worry about elimination first. And then it was time for the first surprise of the night: Both Ben and Majesty were in the bottom three.
Next up: Mali Music, a new artist that Jennifer Lopez invited to the show as part of the "tastemaker" series, where the judges and mentor Randy Jackson pick heretofore unknown artists to appear on the "Idol" stage. Mali Music has an eclectic style, nothing anyone would ever see from an "Idol" finalist.
Then Ryan lines up the last four finalists to hear their fates: Sam Woolf, Jessica Meuse, Jena Irene, and Alex Preston. Jessica is told first that she's on the tour. Alex gets the good news as well. Then Jena Irene, leaving Sam to take the final stool in the row of three alongside Ben and Majesty.
The first told they were going on tour: Sam Woolf. Not a shocker given Sam's boyish good looks but he could have easily been the finalist headed home, especially considering his rendition of the Beatles' "Come Together" for his Top 11 performance was probably the worst of all eleven.
Then Ryan announced the person who would sing for their life: Ben Briley. Majesty Rose, who had received only 0.7 percent more votes than Ben, had made the Top 10.
So Ben performed Grace Potter's "Stars" for his "Save me" song, but you could tell his heart wasn't in it. Or at least his vocals weren't. And so, when Judge Keith Urban, delivered the verdict, citing not enough "artistic growth," it wasn't completely unexpected. Ben Briley would not get the judges' one and only seasonal Save.
And so the Top 10 were revealed...
A side note: The "auditions" continued for a second night, but instead of the finalists mocking and impersonating their colleagues, they got to go after the judges. They blasted Jennifer Lopez for her hair whipping, Keith Urban for his enthusiasm (Ben Briley did a great rendition of Urban critiquing via belting out a song) and his guitar playing, and Harry Connick Jr. for his music knowledge (but Caleb Johnson's singing big band and scat was actually very, very good).
"American Idol" returns next week as the Top 10 gear up for the final run for the title. "Idol" airs on Fox Television on Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. and Thursday nights at 9 p.m. (times are EST).

Leading dressage rider Andrew Gould came to the attention of the general public last year thanks to his famous pupil Katie Price.
But Andrew is a fantastic dressage rider and trainer in his own right, having much success with his respected Priory Dressage yard. We were delighted to welcome Andrew to Your Horse Live last year, where he gave some very informative and enlightening demos to a packed audience.
Andrew brought two seven-year-olds to the event, both with very different temperaments. First he worked his own youngster, a very nervous forward-thinking horse he is hoping to compete at Prix St Georges.

Romanians trace their origins back to the Indo-Europeans and indigenous peoples of the Dacian Kingdom of the first century BC. Another strain was added following conquest and integration by the Romans in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The Daco-Roman civilisation survived eight centuries of barbarian invasions and the Ottoman Turkish expansion of the early modern period.
During the 18th century Austria, Russia and the Ottoman Empire all laid claims to parts of the country, and in order to recoup lost territory, Romania fought on the side of the Allies in World War I, and the Axis Powers in World War II. At the end of WWII Romania was occupied by the Soviets and became a Communist 'people's republic'.
Tens of thousands were incarcerated and thousands died in prisons or labour camps in an era of repression that continued until the 1989-90 revolution when the last communist president Nicolae Ceausescu was executed. But only in the last decade, under a new Centrist government has the economy shown sufficient signs of growth for EU accession, and Romania finally joined the union in January 2007.
Traian Basescu has served as President and Calin Tariceanu Prime Minister since 2004.
Romania is a Balkan country bordering the Black Sea, between Ukraine to the north and Bulgaria to the south. It is roughly the same size as the UK with an area of 92,000 sq miles, evenly divided between mountains (31%), hills (33%) and plains (36%). The Carpathian Mountains form a great arc through the varied relief forms. he most important river is the Danube. It marks part of the border with Bulgaria and where it flows into the Black Sea, it forms the largest delta in Europe. Nearly 40% of the land is arable. Natural resources include minerals and oil.
Romania has a temperate and continental climate. Winters are cold and cloudy with frequent snowfalls, and average temperatures ranging from 5˚C to -15˚C. Summers are generally hot, with some showers and thunderstorms, and average temperatures ranging between 28˚C - 35˚C.
Around 7% of the population is Hungarian, most of whom live in the Transylvanian district which borders Hungary. Most Hungarians in this area use their own language including in schools and civil administration.
The Roma (Gypsey) population in Romania often face social and economic discrimination and have high levels of illiteracy and poor living conditions.
The Romanian language is Latin-based Romance-language, despite the fact that many surrounding countries are Slav speakers. It uses a 31 letter alphabet.
Romanian food is similar to other Eastern European countries. Pork is the preferred meat and popular dishes include grilled meatballs, meat wrapped in cabbage leaves, pork stew with garlic and onions, various soups and doughnuts made with cream and cheese.
The vast majority of the population are ethnic Romanians, (around 89%), with Hungarians, Roma (Gypseys), Germans, Ukrainians, Armenians, Croatians, Serbians and Turks making up the most of the remainder.
Romania's economy was traditionally based on agriculture and in the 1930s Romania was one of the main European producers of wheat, corn and meats. Heavy industries were developed under communism, but agriculture still remains very important and employing around 30% of the workforce.
Agricultural products include corn, wheat, vegetable oil seeds, vegetables, apples and grapes for wine, with sheep and pigs the main livestock.
Romania has considerable natural resources including, oil, natural gas, coal, iron, copper and bauxite. Major industries include metal-working, petrochemicals and mechanical engineering, textiles and manufactured consumer goods.
Since 1990, much effort has been put into turning Romania into a market economy. A middle-class has slowly emerged and the country's poverty levels are falling. Romania gained entry to the European Union on 1 January 2007 and hopes to be in a position to join the Euro-zone by 2014.
Corruption and bureaucracy continue to hinder economic development.
Under the persecution of Ceausescu's regime many churches were destroyed. The Christian church still faces a struggle. 86.8% of the population may be members of the Romanian Orthodox Church, but Romania is a secular state with no official religion. Controls are still in place, with the government affording official recognition to only 15 religious groups. Recent legislation requires denominations to have at least 20,000 members before they can officially register.
PCI partners with the Hungarian Reformed Church in Romania, in the districts of Transylvania and Kiralyhagomellek.

Complaint about deputy mayor for policing being investigated by IPCC
10:10 15 January 2013
PA Archive/Press Association Images
A man who has the authority to sack and appoint senior police officers in London is being investigated by the police watchdog over allegations linked to his previous job as council leader, it was revealed today.
Stephen Greenhalgh was referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) yesterday over the allegations from his time at Hammersmith and Fulham Council, the London Mayor's office said.
Mr Greenhalgh's current role means he has the authority to appoint and sack senior officers in the capital.
A spokesman for the Mayor's office said: "This matter stems from Stephen Greenhalgh's time as Leader of Hammersmith and Fulham Council.
"The matter is the subject of an independent investigation commissioned by the council and carried out by Deloitte.
"We understand Mr Greenhalgh is not being investigated as part of this process. When these allegations, which Mr Greenhalgh has consistently said are politically motivated, came to light, Mr Greenhalgh offered his full co-operation to the council."
She said that the allegation was referred to the IPCC by the Greater London Authority's (GLA) monitoring officer because it falls into the category of a "serious complaint" under regulations.
A spokeswoman for the IPCC said: "This referral follows a complaint made to the GLA regarding the conduct of deputy mayor for policing Stephen Greenhalgh.
"The allegations which form the complaint relate to Mr Greenhalgh's previous role at a London local authority. The complaint is currently being considered by the IPCC."

I guess it's obvious by now, especially if you've read my Q.E.D. and Remote ramblings, that I have a fondness for relatively low-key manga and manhwa. "Relatively" because they're not altogether obscure—major players (TOKYOPOP for Remote, Gramedia for Q.E.D.) released them outside Japan after all.
To continue the precedent, I present the next manga to hog the spotlight: a shoujo series created by 藤原 よしこ Fujiwara Yoshiko-sensei—KISS, Zekkou, KISS or to use its release title here in Jakarta, I Hate You But I Love You. (Yeah, I cringed over what Hikaru from Ouran would've called its
awesome naming sense, too.)
Originally conceived as a one-shot (if you can call a two-parter that), KISS, Zekkou, KISS proved popular enough to be elevated to series status, kinda like… hmm… lemme think, Shinozuka Hiromu-sensei's Mirumo de Pon? So about a year after the initial story was released by Shogakukan, the KISS series started publication. According to the KISS, Zekkou, KISS project page and my own research, it spans 11 tankoubon. In Indonesia, five I Hate You But I Love You volumes have already been published (as at original blog post publication, including volume 0).
Childhood sweethearts: KISS, Zekkou, KISS review
by huamulan03
Some rights reserved
Keywords: manga, shoujo, Kiss Zekkou Kiss, Fujiwara Yoshiko, Shogakukan, Sakisaka Mao, Hatori Yuuya
My introduction to the キス、絶交、キス series was the Indonesian version of the original story released without fanfare by Elex Media in 2005. That it was published under the shoujo line Serial Cantik ("Beautiful Series" – with its Pepto-Bismol-pink heart logo, cringe again) didn't even deter me; I scooped it up, suppressed the blush, and plonked it down in front of the bookstore cashier.
And am I glad I did.
KISS, Zekkou, KISS tells the story of Sakisaka Mao and Hatori Yuuya, two kids who have known each other since grade school. The original installments follow Mao and Yuuya's relationship from their pre-teen days through to their graduation from chuugakkou.
Since elementary school, Sakisaka has attracted attention for pulling in consistent A's, while Hatori's claim to fame rests on his role as the class clown. Sakisaka is less than impressed by the popular Hatori's antics, and being classmates aside, "close" would be the last word used to describe their relationship. In fact, a certain incident after school even makes Sakisaka loathe Hatori. A cold war ensues, one that lasts until the pair enters junior high.
Just what exactly happened?
(I can't resist. *** SPOILER!!! *** Here's what (obviously) happened.)
Based on the above translation/rewrite of Elex's I Hate You But I Love You back cover blurb, the story's shaping up to be predictable with a capital P, right? But it's that anticipation that proferred the hook I bit. I just wub childhood sweethearts (Ryouki and Hatsumi from Hot Gimmick, anyone? ^^)
In any case, it wasn't all Obvious from kilometers away. Fujiwara Yoshiko-sensei put her own spin on KISS, Zekkou, KISS by telling the story of Sakisaka and Hatori in two parts: one from the point of view of Sakisaka, the other from Hatori's POV. Albeit not totally ground-breaking, the head-switching style eventually became this manga's story-telling convention.
to invest or not to invest?
We'll consider that a rhetorical question.
Probably because of my low expectations, KISS, Zekkou, KISS ended up blowing me away. (I'm a light-weight that way.) And as I write this, trying to recall why I loved it so much, the thing that immediately came to mind was that separate POV style. I adored the extended treatment given the story. Telling it once was not enough; telling it twice lifted it to the realm of the divine.
(Let's leave out the fact that I can't resist Hatori angsting.)
So it wasn't so much because of the mechanics, but more for the outcome: the creation of warm and fuzzy. Being privy to both Mao and Yuuya's thoughts made their story stronger, more memorable.
My evidence—I can remember these without cracking open volume 0:
- A precocious Hatori bragging about having kissed a girl, in Mao's hearing
- The aforementioned incident after school involving the two
- Mao tying a napping Yuuya's shoelaces
- Yuuya rescuing a swimsuit-clad Mao who couldn't get out the locker room because jealous swim teammates hid her uniform
- Mao's graduation speech
You can say that repetition will do that (aid the remembering), but my point remains that the repeating ratcheted the WAFF. Anyway, the Mao and Yuuya relationship was sufficiently yummy that it merited, no, demanded, a retelling. So, kudos to Fujiwara-sensei for making that call.
And it also doesn't hurt that her chara designs are totally kawaii and the introduction of "the other man" to up the emotional stakes doesn't irritate.
Rating KISS, Zekkou, KISS
10 of 10 pairs of untied shoelaces
(My shippiness rating for KISS, Zekkou, KISS, also 10, is based exclusively on the original story but it's maintaining for the series)
KISS, Zekkou, KISS: The Bokura no baai series (volume 1-4 impressions)
The キス、絶交、キス-ボクらの場合- KISS, Zekkou, KISS~Bokura no baai series, what I've read of it, seems a tad… uneven when compared with its sublime beginning. The evolution of Mao and Yuuya's relationship, the near-insurmountable obstacles placed in the pair's path and the resulting angst—whether internally or externally driven—seem forced.
I guess that's one of the drawbacks of turning KISS, Zekkou, KISS into a series. Had Mao and Yuuya not caught a break every now and then, I would've dropped this from my reading list. (It's a good thing that Fujiwara-sensei has the knack of handing the reader what s/he wants before the frustration meter gives out.)
There are also instances where the sequel doesn't suffer in comparison with its precursor. Like in dialogue. It holds it own there. My favorite lines of the series (thus far) actually come from volume four. Per the KISS, Zekkou, KISS tradition, I'm starting with Mao and ending with Yuuya:
Kamu lebih cocok dengan rambut pirang.
(You look better with blonde hair.)
With tears in her eyes, Mao tells this to Yuuya after he dyes his blonde hair back to black to impress Mao's mom when he first meets her. From that one unassuming, more-left-unsaid line, you can so feel how much Mao wubs Yuuya, bleached hair and all.
Izinkan saya mengantar Mao sampai depan rumah?
(Please allow me to escort Mao to your front door?)
This was the last line written on the script Yuuya brought with him when he went to visit Mao and her mom on the latter's behest. He thought he'd lost it but Mao's mother found the scrap of paper after he'd left. Oh, the utter yearning! It speaks volumes about just how much Yuuya was suffering at being forbidden to walk his girlfriend home because her parents don't approve of him. Kyaaa! (k, that was my one fangirly scream for the post).
I look forward to the upcoming volume.
Prequel toka, sequel toka ga suki desu. Hope I sed that right. I'm so invested in KISS, Zekkou, KISS that it makes me wish I were an anime producer so that I can pitch it for production (hey, Mirumo de Pon became an anime, too, right?)
Oh. BTW. Other manga by Fujiwara Yoshiko-sensei include: Kimi no Koto Bakari (Always Thinking of You) and Tokyo Sabotage. Both were published in Indonesia by Elex Media. (You can find cover scans in Fujiwara-sensei's backlist.)

end notes (AKA where nik rambles to her heart's content)
awesome naming I have a theory as to why this manga was titled thus. Before this comic was released, there was a very popular song by the Indonesian group Slank entitled I Miss You But I Hate You. The refrain goes:
I miss you but I hate you, my girl…
I guess the publisher wanted KISS, Zekkou, KISS to ride on the song's popularity. The association totally works—whenever I read the manga title, the refrain resounds in my head; that lyric accompanies, like my dog when I'm carrying his dog dish.
point of view I've always been rabid about the limited third person POV in fiction.The thing guaranteed to turn me off when reading facfic is when the writer summarily "head switches" even during one scene, without any proper transitioning. So I insist upon the limited third person POV—sometimes with a stubborness that goes beyond reasonable.
By virtue of manga's graphic nature, we're often hit with the omniscient third person and while sometimes, it's not intrusive, at other times it totally is. So I like what Fujiwara Yoshiko-sensei did in KISS, Zekkou, KISS—rigidly (for about 99.9% of the time) telling the story from one character's POV or
staying firmly rooted inside one character's head (scifi writer Robert J. Sawyer in On Writing — Point of View). And since it goes right, i.e., we don't lose track of with which character's eyes we're following the story, it heightens the enjoyment and locks in the emotional investment. Just as Sawyer so eloquently put it:
Stick with one person throughout the scene — and you'll find that readers are sticking with your story all the way until the end.

Intentional Travel
Cultural Immersion, Shamanic Training, and Personal Transformation
Some travel to see sites, others travel to learn about themselves. Intentional travel involves both of these but adds an element of Spiritual journeying through setting a clear and specific focus for the time abroad. These journeys then become an experience of transformation and healing for all involved. They may include fun and site seeing and yet you will focus on transformation of self and place. Here are two tours offered by Creative Journeys.
Healing the Energies of a Place
Co. Kerry, Ireland
Some ruins hold layers of pain and energies that need to be cleared.
Many people look at a castle or house ruin and see just that: an old delapidated building. Others can sense that Spirits in and around the building harbour pain and sorrow. These Spirits may include human ancestors who have passed on and the Spirits within the trees, stones, and the land and building itself. These painful energies then emanate into the area and can affect livestock and people living nearby.
When people go to the place and offer prayers and ritual and joy, the Spirits of the place begin to heal and emit positivity into the energetic field.
This can reverberate throughout the entire network of the planet. Many indigenous people have taught us that this healing is not only our responsibility as beings who rely on the planet for survival but can also greatly improve our own health and happiness.
Many of our ancient ancestors believed that everything has a spirit; whether a human being, an animal, a stone, or a tree. Indigenous wisdom also holds that we are all connected and that the energy of each being reverberates and affects every other being. When we work with the Spirits of place, we ourselves may experience healing and transformation.
I have begun the process of scouting out places in Ireland where the spirits are reaching out for attention and healing. In a group, we can impact place energies and at the same time experience connection and yes a bit of craic (Irish for fun and recreation) at the same time. On this tour, we will focus on clearing and working with several locations. Participants will learn and develop skills that they can use in the future.
Nature provides ideas for offerings to a place
Connecting With the Ancestors Through Traditional Irish Music
Traditional Irish music provides a powerful portal into the heart of the Irish ancestors. The music itself is intense and rich with story and feeling. The process of truly stepping into the tradition can provide an experience of dissolving ego and connecting with one's wild and untamed self.
Many people experience the outer layer of the traditional Irish music experience when they visit their local pub or travel to Ireland. The outer layer includes great musicians playing at colorful pubs with many tourists clapping along.
With Creative Journeys, however, we will travel to the deeper levels of the experience. In doing so, we will connect with shadow aspects of ourselves, and we will connect with the ancestors. The music has teachings to offer if we listen with our third ear.
This journey include specific intention-setting, lectures blending teaching about the music and working with your intention, and playing the music if you so desire. We will visit the pubs not in the tour books and interact closely with musicians who embody the very heart and Soul of this rich tradition.
Intentional traditional music tours are perfect for people with no musical abilities and no Irish ancestry as well as for people who already play the music and have any Celtic blood. Please visit the calendar page for upcoming tour dates.

Six readers share some simple hair-care habits that can score anyone an enviable mane
TIP: "I have never colored my hair, but I know that day is coming. Because red can be hard to re-create, the colorist at the salon I visit has snipped off some of my strands so that when I do decide to start covering the gray, he has strands to color-match."
TIP: "I go to the salon every five to six weeks to cover my gray. Because I get a simple single-process treatment, my colorist is able to use a dye from L'Oréal's low-ammonia INOA line, which inflicts minimal damage on my hair."
TIP: "I give my hair a 'bed rest' day once a week, usually on Sunday when I'm home. On that day, I apply a deep-conditioning treatment, pull my hair back in a ponytail and just let it rest and revive."
TIP: "I can't blow-dry my own hair very well, so rather than try—and torture my hair in the process—I dry it just enough, then put it up into a bun. That way I look pulled together without having done anything all that damaging to my hair."
TIP: "Rotate your products. I have an ever-changing inventory in my shower that includes lines like Biolage Colorcarethérapie by Matrix, L'Oréal EverSleek, Kérastase Resistance and the new L'Oréal Advanced Haircare Power Moisture Rush Mask. My hair behaves best when I use exactly what it needs in a given week—moisture, protein or something to fight frizz."
TIP: "I have discovered that the gentler I am on my hair, the kinder it is to me. So for 15 years I have used a simple nourishing line called Usana hair care [usana.com]. I've tried a million other things, but nothing works as well for me."

If $a_i$ is the $i^{th}$ row of $A$, then you have that $$(a_ix)(b^Tx)=y_i$$ Which has the LHS as the product of two "numbers". It may help to expand this out to write in quadratic form.
