Master of Rome is an alternate history scenario. It shows Mark Antony's decisive victory in the Battle of Actium on September 2 31 BC, which resulted in the death of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, the man responsible for the victories of Octavian, Mark Antony's rival in the Final War of the Roman Republic. Antony proclaims himself Emperor of Rome, and a different Roman Empire appears.
The Final War of the Roman Republic was a civil war fought between the forces of Mark Antony and Octavian, beginning in 32 BC. In 31 BC, Antony led a naval force to the Ionian Sea, near the Roman colony of Actium in Greece. Octavian's fleet, under Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, met Antony's fleet outside the Gulf of Actium on September 2 31 BC.
Point of Divergence
Prior to the Battle of Actium, in OTL, Antony's general, Quintus Dellius, defected to Octavian with Antony's war plans. However, in this scenario, Antony was informed of Dellius' intention and sent 15 soldiers to intercept Dellius, who was captured and brought to Antony before he could find Octavian. Antony immediately ordered the execution of Dellius.
On September 2, the battle began. Octavian's Liburnian vessels faced a big challenge from Antony's quinqueremes. While some Liburnian vessels were sunk, Antony's inexperience in a naval theater let both sides to battle with no decisive result until the afternoon, when Antony successfully gained an advantage over the enemy fleet. His warships put Octavian's fleet into total disarray. Agrippa saw this and tried to advance towards Antony, but his ship was exposed to a direct assault after some ships which protected it were sunk.
Antony moved forward as his ship became closer and closer to Agrippa's ship. Finally, Antony's ship was close enough to Agrippa's for Antony and his soldiers to jump to Agrippa's ship. Agrippa's soldiers were killed on board or thrown off the ship by Antony's soldiers. Within a short time, Antony and Agrippa were involved in a duel. Agrippa was defeated, and the injured commander was left to fate, being thrown overboard to the Ionian Sea. The Battle of Actium ended with a decisive victory for Antony.
First emperor
Antony mobilized his troops to Italy, capturing few settlements loyal to Octavian before besieging Rome on November 15. As the siege progressed, the city ran out of food. Finally, Octavian led his soldiers to attack Antony outside the walls of Rome on December 3. Octavian was killed, and Antony entered the city, as the winner of the Roman Republic's last civil war.
On December 4, a day after capturing Rome, Antony officially dissolved the Senate, who declared him outlaw a year before, and proclaimed himself Augustus, effectively becoming the first ruler of a Roman Empire. Antony's lover, Cleopatra VIII, queen of Egypt, was crowned Empress of Rome at the same day.
No "Pax Romana" existed during Antony's rule. He led troops on military expeditions to Dacia (conquered 28 BC), Sarmatia (conquered 27 BC), Germania (conquered 26 BC) and the Parthian Empire (conquered 22 BC). In 18 BC, all vassal states of Rome were directly annexed through diplomacy. In 13 BC, Antony conquered all of Scythia. In 6 BC, he led his army as they gained the Indian subcontinent. In 1 AD, Antony conquered the Arabian Peninsula.
Next emperors
The highly-popular Antony died at the age of 90 in 8 AD, leaving his chosen heir, 54-year-old Caesarion, son of Cleopatra and the previous Roman dictator Julius Caesar, as the Roman Emperor. Caesarion reformed the empire's administrative and military system before dying in 39 AD. He was succeeded by his competent son Vilnius, who was replaced by his son, Matius, upon his death in 60 AD.
Starting in between the reigns of Caesarion and Vilnius, Pax Romana began, much later than in the OTL. Matius was followed successively by Vilnius II, Matius II, Marcus Etimonius, Marcus Vettius, Alexander Vilnius, Emerestus and Julius Etimonius. Julius Etimonius was better known as Julius the Magnificent. He conquered all of Britain, Tibet and expanded his empire to the southern end of the Sahara Desert. Etimonius died in 267 AD.
The Great Imperial Crisis
Etimonius died without a legitimate heir, in the middle of a dispute between potential candidates for the throne. Between 267 and 325 AD, 67 emperors held the throne for a short time before being assassinated. During this time, several provinces broke off, and barbaric tribes raided the empire's borders. In 279 AD, the independent Sarmatians attacked the empire, reaching regions as far as Gaul, and devastating Rome's power there.
In 304 AD, the Romans were forced out of Tibet, the Indian subcontinent and Parthia. In 312 AD, an uprising in Britain caused Romans to leave the place forever. In 310 AD, the Romans of North Africa retreated, due to popular uprisings and barbarian raids, to Egypt. The Arabian Peninsula was abandoned in 320 AD. At the same time, Christianity was growing within the Roman Empire. In 325 AD, Malchi, a prominent army and naval commander from the province of Dalmatia, became the Roman Emperor. He swiftly ordered the removal of all potential rivals and opponents. With the successful removal of Malchi's rivals and opponents, his position was safe. The empire, now reduced to Italy, the Balkans, Anatolia, the Near East and Egypt, was stabilized, essentially ending the crisis.
Roman Christianity and barbaric attacks
Malchi proved to be a man who accepted new ideas. He was secretly baptized into Christianity in 322 AD, 3 years before gaining the imperial throne. He decided against another expansion, and focused on the stability and wealth of Rome. In 330 AD, he declared Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire. Paganism was officially outlawed, and pagans, along with Jews, were forced to turn to Christianity, or be burned at the stake. Before the execution of each pagan and Jew, the convicted person was presented with an "Agreement of God", offering a last chance to turn to Christianity. If the convicted person refused, he was offered a "Rites of Hell", a set of poems praising God and wishing for His mercy to the convicted one, before execution.
In 340 AD, Malchi wrote the Rights and Wealth of People, considered by modern scholars to be the earliest trace of communism. The Rights and Wealth of People became increasingly dominant within the empire's administrative and political system. In 369 AD, Emperor Condidus coined the term "communism", an ideology based on the aforementioned book Rights and Wealth of People. Communism became the official ideology of the empire. This was considered controversial, since the empire, under communism, slowly tarnished the Church's religious authority around Rome.
In 418 AD, barbarians from the deserts of Arabia ravaged Egypt and the Near East, forcing the Romans out of both regions. Several counteroffensives only resulted in systematical devastation of the Roman army. In 429 AD, the new Gallic Kingdom attacked Italy and the Balkans. By 450 AD, the empire consisted only the exclave of Rome in the Italian Peninsula and the Balkans. In 458 AD, Rome was lost to the invading Lombards, and the capital was moved to Athens. The Church claimed divine intervention in the ousting of Romans, who adhered to "anti-God" communism, out of Italy. Angered at the Church's comment, Emperor Judas II banned Christianity in 459 AD and announced that adherence to communism is compulsory.
In 462 AD, Judas II made a revision to the ideology, in which he stated that the ruling figure of each organization should be worshipped. Temples dedicated to the Roman sovereign was erected all over the empire, and an imperial cult, called Cult of the Divine Ruler, appeared in 463 AD. This was the end of Christianity in the Roman Empire.
The empire's new style
Judas II was one of the most notorious Romans at the time. In 464 AD, he divided the empire, now consisting of only the Balkans, to 18 provinces, from the original 2 provinces (Macedonia Inferior and Macedonia Superior). Since they only ruled small provinces, the governors were unable to rebel against the emperor in Athens. In 466 AD, the empire and several neighboring nations were hit by an economic recession. Judas II declared that the province of Morea, Attica Superior and Attica Inferior would be sold to the Kingdom of Gaul. The capital was moved from Athens, sold to Gaul, to Constantinople, on the shores of the Bosporus.
However, the empire continued to suffer from economic difficulties. Finally, in 474 AD, Judas II recognized the financial collapse of the empire. He sold some provinces in the north to neighboring nations. In 476 AD, Judas II divided the empire's remaining territories to 29 small provinces, some of them consisting of only a city, and nothing more. An example of this was the province of Konstantinopolis (Constantinople).
In 477 AD, Judas II punished the rebelling Consul Fabius Phillipus Xapides to death by hanging. The death of a popular figure in the nation angered citizens. In 480 AD, Judas II was killed in a coup d'etat by Consul Marcus Spidamenes, who crowned himself Emperor Marcus III.
Marcus III introduced a new government style for the empire. He delegated some power to a master consul, the first being famous military commander Maxius Catalixus. He balanced power between the monarch and the Senate. To prevent governors from rebelling, Marcus III further divided the empire to 89 tiny districts, later divided to 156 municipalities, each having little influence over the central government.
Marcus and the empire's revival
Under Marcus, the empire entered another period of Pax Romana. Women were given more rights in the household over men, while the rights of men over women in the household were lessened, to ensure balance and stability. Slaves were also given rights and privileges. Meanwhile, the military was strengthened and sophisticated.
However, Pax Romana was forced to end early, in 486 AD, as the emperor retook parts of the Balkan from the Gauls and brought back Asia Minor to the empire, firmly establishing a core for the empire, which was able to provide regeneration for the empire in case it came under the threat of danger and collapse. Therefore, the defense of Asia Minor and Balkan Peninsula was deemed crucial for the empire's viability and existence.
Throughout Marcus' reign, the Near East was conquered, followed by the Arabian Peninsula, all of North Africa, the Italian Peninsula, Gaul, Iberia, Britain, Ireland, Crimea, rival Sassanid Empire, Indian subcontinent and Tibet. Marcus died in 530 AD, just after relocating the capital city from Constantinople to Rome, symbolizing the empire's return to its original homeland. The center of Roman power shifted from the Balkans, back to the Italian Peninsula. He left the Roman Empire as the dominant military, economy and political power within the Mediterranean area.
Marcus' son, Lucius IV "the Wise", reorganized the empire, from over 2000 tiny municipalities to 28 provinces. In a shocking turn of events, Lucius converted to Buddhism, much to the curiosity of his Christian citizens. Lucius declared freedom of religion and freedom of worship in 538 AD. During the reign of Lucius, Rome experienced one of the most peaceful times. The only war during Lucius' reign was the Roman-Chinese War, which culminated in the conquest of China in 551 AD. Korea and Japan became vassal states. When Lucius died in 554 AD, the empire's position was secured.

Schizophrenic Assessment: Focus on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale - Essay Example
Extract of sample
Schizophrenic Assessment: Focus on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale
The validity of this test has been verified through a number of research studies and the tool has been expanded and improved over time. The test has been found to have been used in studies across time since it was created, thus supporting it as a valuable addition to the study of schizophrenia during the last half of the 20th century and into the millennia. The BPRS tool has been evaluated over sixty years of use, expanding upon its structure with developments that can be used in modern practice. Tools There are different, but common tools that can be used to assess someone suffering from schizophrenia or to do research on diagnostic experiences of the disorder. One of the most common tools used in research is the Research Diagnosis Criteria (RDC) which was created in 1975. Structured interview instruments include the Present State Examination (PSE) from 1970, the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (SADS), and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV are all valued instruments for the diagnosis of schizophrenia (Lieberman, 2006). The DSM-IV-TR is the most common diagnostic tool that is used for coming to the conclusion that someone is afflicted with the disorder of schizophrenia (see Appendix 3). ...

Furthermore, this study attempts to categorize certain "life events" by their triggering mechanism. Naturally, to each patient, the triggering mechanism will be different; however, by analyzing the association between adverse life events and relapses in a number of individuals with schizophrenia, the authors were able to specifically link certain causal factors with relapses. Lastly, the authors note that a noted increase in what they term "moderately severe" life events can also lead to a noted increase in psychotic symptoms for the patient.

Arthur Nersesian
When people are young, they are inclined to see the world in absolutes. Young writers want to MAKE IT AS A WRITER, or they are LOSERS. To me success is a daily task. At best it varies from book to book, and though it would be nice to have security, at very least, these precarious conditions do make life interesting. I won't deny that for most, this is a tough life. You really have to want it, but it can be rewarding.

And, now for something completely different:
A man and his pet giraffe walk into a bar and start having a few quiet drinks. As the night goes on, they get pretty drunk. The giraffe finally passes out near the pool tables and the man decides to go home.
As the man is leaving, he's approached by the barman who says, "Hey, you're not gonna leave that lyin' here, are ya?"
"Hmph," says the man, "that's not a lion, it's a giraffe."
I've discovered a passion for tea while in China that follows the same sort of "logic".
Music. I love all kinds of music, there is not a genre that I don't appreciate, there is not a dance that I wouldn't love to learn!
Movies/TV: I love movies. I am however seriously under motivated to watch them. I'll watch just about any movie with a friend, but I've never watched a movie alone (except a few documentaries).
That said, I would never willingly give up wikipedia, exercise, tea, my friends, audio books and lectures, or my "rights" (human, civil, or constitutional).

Limit properties of Bertrand equilibria with exogenous entry
For a large class of demand and cost functions, we characterize the limit equilibrium set under Bertrand oligopoly when entry is exogenous. Unless average cost is constant, we find that the folk theorem of perfect competition necessarily fails. We also relate our results to those in Novshek and Roy Chowdhury (2003).

(Nasdaq: RODM), via a new subsidiary, DirectMarkets, will unveil an automated state-of-the-art electronic transaction platform to directly link existing public company issuers and investors seeking to transact primary offerings of securities. DirectMarkets will bring unprecedented, cost-efficient access to the capital markets into the C-Suite of public companies and bypass certain traditional roles typically held by investment banks that presently control the transactional process. Both investors and issuers will benefit from 24/7 seamless access to DirectMarkets' platform through a graphical user interface (GUI) accessible via a desktop or laptop computer, as well as any mobile smart devices such as tablets or smartphones. The official launch will take place at the TradeTech 2012 Conference in New York City that begins on March 6, 2012. With its many features, the DirectMarkets platform will empower issuers to sell shares (covered by a shelf registration) directly into the secondary market and to complete funding transactions at a fraction of the current cost. Using the same platform, investors will be able to directly contact issuers, with effective shelf registrations in place, to indicate their interest in buying that issuer's stock, effectively gaining the ability to accumulate stock positions in a more cost-effective manner than through on-going open market purchases. Suitable for companies listed on NYSE, NYSE Amex and NASDAQ, as well as unlisted OTCBB companies, the DirectMarkets platform is designed to bring greater efficiency and cost savings to current methods that public companies use to effect financings, including follow-on offerings, Registered Directs (RDs,) At-the-Markets (ATMs), Confidentially Marketed Public Offerings (CMPOs) and Private Investments in Public Equities (PIPEs). Adaptation of the platform across international markets will also be pursued by DirectMarkets. To lead DirectMarkets, Rodman has recruited Kevin Lupowitz as Chief Executive Officer of the DirectMarkets operating entity. Before joining DirectMarkets, Mr. Lupowitz, age 42, was the Chief Information Officer at FXall, a leading electronic foreign exchange platform. Previously, he was a founding employee of Liquidnet, the global institutional trading network, where he was also Chief Information Officer.

The upcoming Intel Nehalem CPU has been in the spotlight for months now. In contrast and despite the huge die size and 1.9 billion (!) transistors, the 6-core Xeon 74xx is a wallflower for both the public as Intel's marketing.
The Xeon 74xx, formerly known as Dunnington, is indeed a very interesting upgrade path for the older quad socket platform. All Xeon 74xx use the same mPGA604 socket as previous Xeons and are electrically compatible with the Xeon 73xx series. The Xeon 73xx , also known as Tigerton, was basically the quad-core version of the Xeon 53xx (Clovertown) that launched at the end 2006. The new hex-core Dunnington combines six of the latest 45nm Xeon Penryn cores on a single die. As you may remember from our dual socket 45nm Xeon 54xx review, the 45nm Penryn core is about 10% to 20% faster than its older 65nm brother (Merom). There is more: an enormous 12MB to 16MB L3 cache ensures that those six cores access high latency main memory a lot less. This huge L3 also reduces the amount of "cache syncing" traffic between the CPUs, an important bottleneck for the current Intel server platforms.

Question regarding paypal payment widgetAsked by georgeb on January 24, 2015 at 09:35 PM
I just built a form, and at the bottom, I put a Paypal option at the bottom, so when someone clicks submit, it redirects them to Paypal, so they can pay me.
My question is, once they complete the payment transaction, does the form then send the data they filled out to my email?
That would depend on your email setup.
Here are the steps:
1. When someone submits the jotform, they are taken to the PayPal to make the payment.
2. This creates the incomplete payment entry in your submissions
3. Once they make the payment the incomplete payment created in the step 2 is moved into the submissions.
4. Email is sent to you to notify you of the payment, with the details that you have included.
You could set it all up to get email notifications even if the payment is not created.
These are relevant guides that will give you a better insight into PayPal and payments:
Paypal Incomplete Payments FAQ
How to setup Incomplete Payment Notification E-mail
How to Strip Payment Labels and Separate Payment Info on Email Alerts
How to View Incomplete Payments
Do let us know if you have any additional question as you go through the guides and we would be happy to answer them. :)
So, if I understand correctly, once they complete the payment, it will then send the submission form to me?
Here is one of the forms that I created https://secure.jotform.us/form/50238048616151
I used the first "Paypal" option on the bottom.
Hi georgeb,
That is correct, the default setting means that you will receive your submission email notifications once your users have completed the payment on PayPal.
If you user completes your form and does not submit a payment it will be counted as an incomplete payment and no notification would be sent out.
I hope this helps, please inform us if you need further assistance.
Thank you.

The USDA Farm Service Agency has completed the payments for Harrison County's 1,628 Tobacco Transition Payment Program (TTPP) contracts for 2012. Payments totaling $2,824,886 have been deposited into contract holders' bank accounts beginning Jan. 19, 2012. TTPP contracts are paid through 2014. There are two annual payments remaining 2013 and 2014.
For producers with grain bases, sign up for the 2012 Direct and Counter Cyclical (DCP) program began Jan. 23, 2012 with a deadline of June 1, 2012.
In an effort to curtail stolen items from being destroyed before they can be claimed, the Cynthiana Police Department is proposing an ordinance that would set requirements for businesses dealing with pawned or recycled items.
Chief Ray Johnson told Cynthiana City Commissioners Tuesday that in many cases stolen items taken in by brokers are melted down or otherwise destroyed before the owner even knows they are missing.
The ordinance establishes a specific amount of time that pawned or recycled items must be retained before being resold or destroyed.
The Harrison County Farm Service Agency (FSA) has experienced many changes in programs they administer and the customers they serve. In November and December, the Agency saw its most noted change with the retirements of two employees Sandi McConnell and Barry Sims.
Bryan Lutz announced his candidacy for the Kentucky State House of Representatives for the 78th district, which currently includes Harrison, Pendleton, Robertson counties and portions of Scott County.
"My operating principle will be to work for smaller, yet more effective state government, real tax reform to lower the tax burden of all Kentuckians, and a real focus on bringing jobs to this area," Lutz said. "We have to change the direction of losing jobs from this area to making this a business friendly district."
Harrison County High School Student Council, class officers and Youth Services Center are promoting a Fill the Stands for the Fillies Night on Tuesday, Jan. 31 as the Fillies Basketball team takes on Clark County. JV plays at 6 p.m. and varsity plays at 7:30. Come out to the Hilltop and help fill the stands
The Lexington Legends' annual pre-season caravan will stop in Cynthiana Tuesday, Jan. 31, as the team prepares for the 2012 season. The Legends, a class A affiliate of the Houston Astros, are members of the South Atlantic League.
Legends baseball will be featured on WCYN's Coffee Break," 8-9 a.m. with host Doug Miller. The program will broadcast live from Biancke's, 102 S. Main St., Cynthiana.
Specifications are still up in the air for the county farm bidding process.
Magistrate Bradley Copes, who serves as the farm facility committee chairman, informed the court that certain "specs," would have to be outlined in the leasing agreement for the county farm in order to preserve its current condition.
"The farm has been well cared for in the past few years and the last thing we want is for it to be mistreated," said Copes. "We need to have a little say as to what can be grown there in order to keep it in its current state."
USDA Kentucky Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director, John W. McCauley, reminds producer's enrollment for Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) Program or the traditional Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP) began Jan. 23 and will run through June 1.
"Farmers in Kentucky who are interested in enrolling in these programs need to add this important deadline to their list of 'must do' jobs," McCauley said. "Producers should contact the local county office to set up appointments."
Each year during the annual HCBCA meeting those in attendance are asked to join the local and state association. This year after the meeting the local board discussed ways of increasing our membership. This last month we have discussed this membership drive and would like to introduce a program to encourage your participation.
Anyone who joins the local county and state cattlemen association will receive a membership card with several local businesses offering discounts to HCBCA members. The following are discounts available to you as a member:
Spring bulbs popping up everywhere as temperatures roller-coaster from the teens to the 60's has left many scratching their heads; there is not much we can do to fool Mother Nature so we must be patient and hope that we have a decent display come March.
I have some foliage that has turned to mush but the bulb and bloom is still safe beneath the soil surface; the bulb will send up fresh foliage in due time.

Reviews for Honey Chipotle Ribs
Average Rating
"This is my family's new favorite BBQ sauce! Love it!!"
"Love these ribs!!!! I put the ribs in the crockpot and poured the sauce on top and let it simmer on low for 6 to 8 hours. They come out perfect!!!!"
"This recipe should definatly have more reviews then it does. These ribs were so good! I am glad i found a recipe this yummy !"
"Best ribs ever! My 13 y/o son picked this recipe and it's a keeper! We used the extra sauce on boneless chicken breasts and grilled them too. Really good. This is the only way I will make ribs in the future."
"FANTASTIC! It made A LOT of sauce, but when my family was done, all the extra was gone too."
"So good. I make this sauce every time I make ribs. My husband doesn't like BBQ sauce and loves this. I make the ribs in the house now!"
"Ribs were very tender and the sauce was fabulous! It made quite a bit of sauce but will work well with chicken and other grilled items."
"Great recipe idea! Used chicken instead of ribs and tweaked the recipe using ingredients I had on hand: Whiskey instead of beer and mustard powder instead of dijon. I used a store brand smokey honey bbq sauce. Yum!!!"
"Yum!! I used Jack Daniels original #7"
"I used Kraft original thick. I really don't think it matters. I would just stick with an original flavored one"
"I havent made it, but i was wondering what type of BBQ sauce to use in the recipe"
"Oh my gosh ... These are the best ribs everMy husband could not get enough of the sauce. Until today, I thought I made great ribs. Along comes Honey Chipotle ribs.. Whoo !!!PS. bake them for 3 hrs at 250 .. Baste with the wondeful sauce as you grill"
"absolutely amazing. It makes a ton of bbq sauce so you could cut the bbq sauce recipe in half. However, my family loved it so much we are having it on chicken tonight and the kids were putting it on their corn and potatoes last night. Ribs were outstanding. bbq sauce has a nice kick to it."

IvyDE is bundled with one Ivy version ATM, so you can't change the Ivy version used by IvyDE without repackaging IvyDE. The tests I've done shows that the latest trunk version of IvyDE, bundled with a very recent trunk version of Ivy (more recent than 2.0.0 alpha 1) works with Eclipse 3.3. So I'm pretty confident to say that the IvyDE works with Ivy 2.0 alpha 1 on eclipse 3.3, even if I haven't done much tests. We will still need to make an IvyDE release with one of the upcoming Ivy release (but releasing at ASF is not a light process) to test it more carefully with one Ivy version and several Eclipse versions to make sure it is fully compatible. Any incompatibility feedback is welcome though, and will be considered with the highest priority.

I came up with this when I had these ingredients that needed to get used up. This came together great and turned out to be a great one dish meal. I learned from reading an America's Test Kitchen cookbook that by cooking the vegetables separately each vegetable will have their full flavor when you combine them later and it does taste much better that way after doing it. It might take a few extra minutes, but the flavor of the dish will be awesome! You may also enjoy this with steamed rice.

I didn't have poultry seasoning so I added some soy sauce. Quick to make if you have some cooked chicken.

Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 lb Polish sausage, sliced
- 1⁄2 yellow onion, Diced
- 2 large garlic, minced
- 2 large carrots, cut into rounds
- 1⁄4 cup hot water
- 1⁄2 lb asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into medium sized pieces, about 6 stalks
- 2 large zucchini, Sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- salt and pepper
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
Directions See How It's Made
- Salt and Pepper the chicken well. Add 1 tbsp oil to a large skillet pan. Season the chicken with the poultry seasoning. Sautee the chicken until no longer pink. Remove the chicken pieces to a plate. Add 1 tsp butter and sauté the onions with 1/2 tsp salt. Cook the onions until golden, for about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the sausage slices. Sauté until browned, about 8-10.
- While the chicken and sausage is cooking, add the 1/4 Cup hot water to a medium size skillet pan and add the carrots, just enough water to cover the carrots. Cook the carrots until softened, about 5-7 minutes. I personally like my carrots to have some crunch to them and this amount of time is perfect. Remove the carrots from the pan to a separate bowl, salt and pepper to taste. and wipe the pan with a paper towel.
- Add 1 tbsp butter and the asparagus, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes and they are bright green and softened. Remove them and place them into the bowl with the carrots. Wipe the pan with a paper towel.
- Add the rest of the butter to the pan and add the zucchini. Salt and pepper to taste and cook for about 5 minutes or until softened.
- Return to the sausage and add the chicken back to the pan, cooking together for about 3 minutes. Add the vegetables to the meat and cook together for about 2-3 more minutes and well combined.

Welcome to the website of the Non-Religious Pastoral Support Network. We aim to achieve access for every non-religious person in institutional settings to emotional, moral, pastoral, and spiritual support from like-minded carers.
We believe that everyone needs compassion and empathy when going through particularly difficult times, irrespective of their beliefs. The provision of pastoral care in institutions is currently overwhelmingly religious but increasing numbers of service users are not religious. Our members are trained and accredited in non-religious pastoral support. Through them we are committed to making sure that non-religious people have access to support which reflects their worldview and is provided by like-minded people.
Our members provide the sort of care to the non-religious that might be provided to religious people by chaplains. Currently we have providers operating in healthcare and prisons and are looking to expand this offering to the armed forces, universities, residential homes, and other places in need of non-religious pastoral care.

Quinoa Egg Veggie Stir Fry for One
Recipe by Lyss the nutritioni
High protein, High fiber veggie stir fry omlete like dish... ideal for a weight loss and/or low calorie diet and it is very good and easy to make!!
Top Review by FLKeysJen
Very clever to add quinoa to eggs...lots of protein and an interesting texture! This was so good that I (can't believe I'm writing this) will try it without the cheese next time, to save on the fat grams. I will increase my star rating if you want to make the directions easier. Step #1 should be omitted since the quinoa is already cooked. In #3, garlic is mentioned and spinach mentioned in Step #4, but neither is in the ingredients. I wasn't sure so used spinach as the 1/2 cup vegetable. Also I only used 1/4 cup cheese...assume the 1 cup swiss was a typo. A very adaptable recipe; most of the flavor in my version came from the salsa.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 egg
- 2 egg whites
- 1⁄2 cup vegetables (chopped, pick and choose your favorites from broccoli, red or orange bell peppers, tomatoes and aspa)

Nicole Miller / Preowned Learn More
Nicole Miller 'Cassandra'
/ Resell It & Make Up To: $300 Learn More
I purchased this dress new from the Nicole Miller Boutique in Soho, NYC. The style hits the sweet spot between classic, sexy, and modern. Sweet cap sleeves, a plunging V neck, and a few playful cut outs on the back. The silk charmeuse was so comfortable to wear all day, even during an outdoor ceremony on a very hot day. I worked with a tailor to remove the bow at the back, but we left the tails - I love the way this left me with long, elegant lines and yet you can still see your tush! I also tailored the dress to remove the train, as I felt this was better for our less formal day. The dress has been professionally cleaned. There is some very light staining at the hem of the dress (more so on the lining, but I don't believe you would see that), and some light staining at the under arms.

It was strange, Sokka would later muse, how time and distance quelled the familiarity that should come with meeting up with a lost friend. To him, the distinctive smell of Katara, with her strange jasmine and sea-salt mix, was a foreign thing; once upon a time, it would have calmed him to know his sister was so close. Now, it only brought confusion and, when that ended, sorrow and guilt.
He never thought he could miss the smell of sandalwood and petrichor so much.
"Thank spirits you're awake," the young waterbender cried softly, ensnaring her brother in a tight hug before slowly pulling away, a soft smile on her face.
Opening his eyes, Sokka couldn't place where he was. The room was familiar—thick greens and browns, with glowing crystals sticking out from the walls at regular intervals—but no names came to his head. No words, either, and he would later suppose that he had been drugged when the second thought that popped to his head was some abstract concept of 'what words would I be thinking if I could be thinking words?'.
Blinking his eyes, he turned his head a few inches to face Katara directly, though his brain was still rather empty. Shouldn't she be in the Fire Nation? Shouldn't he be elsewhere? Not in a soft bed somewhere in the Earth Kingdom—for it was definitely in that nation—surrounded by more people than he had previously realised. Aang was standing behind Katara, his tattooed hands on her shoulder as he gently rubbed out the knots that had formed. One of Katara's hands was resting on her rounded stomach; the other had somehow worked its way into Sokka's hand, holding gently.
Zuko was standing in one corner, his body rigid. He had in his hand a bloodied sheet of paper that, to Sokka, looked terrifyingly familiar.
The one thing he could place, and he had to be scared of it.
Turning his eyes back to Katara's soft face, he began to notice other little things; the bags under her eyes were slightly larger than they were when he left, and the smile, while not forced, was concealing something behind the dimples and soft eyes.
"Katara." Zuko's raspy voice seemed even harsher to Sokka's ears, and he visibly cringed. Everyone pretended not to notice, but the nonbender still caught the way Aang stood a little straighter, and the way Katara suddenly had a lump in her throat that she couldn't swallow.
Sokka still hadn't said anything, even as Katara murmured something about waiting outside and letting the two older men step forward.
"How are you feeling, Sokka?" Aang asked, his hands, with nothing to do, clasped in front of him with the fingers twitching. "Any pain? What's the last thing you remember?"
If Sokka had been capable of surprise, he would have been at that moment. Too concerned with the 'where' and the 'how', he hadn't even thought of himself. There was an insistent throb in his left shoulder, but it was constant—likely the reason he had completely missed it in the first place. He shifted in place, and aside from knocking a few (what he assumed to be) rather large bruises, he couldn't actually say he was in too much pain.
Then again, he did have an awful feeling that he was forgetting something. Looking at Zuko and Aang's grim faces, he knew he was right.
"I feel fine," he said eventually, voice soft from disuse. "Where am I? The last thing I remember is getting a letter from Zuko, telling me that he needed my help."
The two benders shared a glance, though Sokka was reluctant to call attention to it. He didn't like the sad look in their eyes, and he didn't want to know why they had it in the first place.
Zuko took another step forward, and Sokka could see that his hand was clasped around another object. His attention was forced to the firebender's face when he began talking.
"Sokka, that was almost a month ago. You're in Ba Sing Se," he said. "You've been here for almost three days—Katara refused to leave your side since you were brought in."
"Brought... in?" Inexplicably, Sokka felt his mouth run dry, and he wasn't sure he wanted his friends to keep talking. "Wait..." he said, licking his lips. Aang was avoiding his gaze, the fidgeting spreading along his body. Zuko met his eyes, and Sokka immediately wished he hadn't. "Where's Toph?"
There was a thick silence at first before Zuko—of course it was Zuko—started to explain.
"June found you. You were supposed to rendezvous with Aang and Katara three days ago, but you never showed. We tracked you down to a forest a few miles north-east of the Serpent's Pass, almost a day out of the city."
"We don't... Toph wasn't with you." Aang's voice, deeper than it was seven years prior, was usually so good at soothing people, calming them. Why wasn't it working now? "You were unconscious, holding onto... some stuff..." The monk trailed off, looking incredibly uncomfortable. Sokka didn't want to have to voice his question, and luckily Zuko came through.
"You were holding onto a letter. It's addressed to former Minister Qin, but it's coded, so we don't know what it says yet. It's invaluable to us-"
"Toph's invaluable!" Sokka cried, surprising both boys (and himself) and the volume and insistence of his words. "Why aren't you looking for her? Where is she?"
Sokka could feel himself getting worked up, his heartbeat thundering against his ribcage, but he couldn't help it. He tried sitting up, but his shoulder cried out in objection, and he let himself be pushed back onto the bed by Aang.
"We are looking, Sokka. June has searched everywhere, but they're masking her smell somehow. As far as we can see, they've gone underground again; there are signed of a battle leading away from where you were found, but we... we don't know where she is, or what condition she's in."
At these words, Zuko let go of whatever was in his hand, letting it fall onto the bed next to Sokka's arm. It was with tentative fingers that he reached out and grasped it, a small, choking noise escaping him. It was a blade—the blade. The one he had pulled from Toph's side. He didn't drop it? Why didn't he just drop it?
A sudden surge of memories assaulted him. Getting the letter, meeting up with Zuko in the Fire Nation and being surprised to see Toph. Powerful Fire Nation ministers and generals had escaped to the Earth Kingdom, Zuko said, and he needed two people welcome in the expansive nation to collect them. Sokka could feel the reason that he and Toph were needed—it was right there, on the tip of his tongue—but he couldn't quite place it. Something about Kuei and the confusion his return had caused...
He and Toph were taken to Kyoshi Island; a sovereign state, Zuko's relationship with Suki (friendship! Friendship!) meant that it was still possible for Fire Nation citizens to arrive to the Earth Kingdom. All other ports were guarded for Fire Nation ships, and it was just.... painful, trying to get through customs. After travelling from Kyoshi to the village of Chin, the duo made their way north, asking innkeepers and keeping an ear out at taverns for talk. Toph was better than he was at fire-ferreting our information, but he was better at interrogating people. There was something to be said about a wild-eyed Water Tribe warrior wielding a boomerang, a blind, barefoot earthbender tapping her heel impatiently behind him.
They followed the trail all the way north, up beyond the Serpent's Pass and to the east. Instead of drowning, they were able to walk all the way because they actually remembered Toph could earthbend a bridge for them.
Then, everything went wrong.
The thought they could take whoever it was—there may have been a group of them, about two dozen, but Toph and Sokka were experts. They had done this a hundred times—a thousand. They had survived a war; surely they could take on a group of Fire Nation exiles?
Perhaps they could, but they didn't realise how many were skilled firebenders or weapons-masters. They didn't realise that they were meeting up with a small army; Toph was too focused on the enemy at hand to feel one approaching...
... And then she helped him get away. She sacrificed herself so he could escape...
Sokka didn't realise how long he had been silent until the bed compressed as Aang sat down. Sokka swallowed thickly, trying to keep whatever was in his chest from bubbling into his throat.
"Promise me you'll find her," he said eventually, voice low. He didn't want to explain what had happened—they didn't need to know. "They came from the east shore. There was a town two days travel north. They-" He took a moment to compose himself, the tightness in his throat making it too hard to continue. "There are too many of them to travel fast or far. They'll still be in the area."
Aang and Zuko shared another look—spirits, he was sick of that—but this time, neither said anything.
"Promise me you'll find her," he insisted again. His voice was strong, but low; he couldn't make it louder even if he wanted to. "Please, just promise..."
Aang gave a grim nod. "We'll find her," he swore. "Get some rest, Sokka. We'll find her."

(Adds quotes, background)
KIEV, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Ukraine's central bank is prepared to resume cutting its main interest rate in 2017 if inflation risks fall, governor Valeriia Gonetareva said on Thursday.
The bank kept the rate on hold at 14 percent on Thursday breaking a run of six consecutive cuts due to an uptick in inflation in October.
The bank said it was "highly likely" inflation would hit its year-end target of 12 percent, but warned of risks to macroeconomic stability including from delayed disbursement of International Monetary Fund loans worth $1.3 billion that were due this year.
"If risks to stability fall, the central bank will resume monetary policy easing next year," Gontareva said in a briefing.
"Unfortunately we won't get the (IMF) tranche this year, but we hope that ... the tranche will get to us in January- February," she said.
The IMF has said further disbursements depend on parliament passing the 2017 budget as well as pension and tax reforms.
The loan delays have prevented the bank achieving its foreign reserve target of $17.5 billion this year, but officials say the currency market will remain stable thanks to foreign exchange inflows from exports following a record harvest in Ukraine, the world's third-largest grain exporter.
"In the coming months we don't expect any significant slowdown in the rate of export revenue inflow," deputy governor Oleh Churiy said at the same briefing. (Reporting by Natalia Zinets; Writing by Alessandra Prentice; Editing by Janet Lawrence)

It's obvious on attending why a and e figures are so much better.
After being streamed to gp without a single pertinent question being asked them waited 2 hours to see gp before being referred to surgery.
Then waited several long hours in pain on sau without being seen, having pain relief or assessment.
In all waited over 8 hours from attending without observations, blood tests or diagnostics all of which would have occurred in a and e if appropriately streamed to begin with
Response from Jackie Dietrich, Communications Manager, Communications and Patient Experience, The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust nearly 2 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback about your experience of our hospital. We are sorry you were so unimpressed with the service you received during your visit.
On arrival at A&E, all patients are assessed by a Malling Health 'streaming' nurse before being directed to the most appropriate place for them to be treated. This can be A&E (which includes both a major and minor injuries area) or the Urgent Care Centre (UCC), run by Malling Health, which treats less serious conditions.
It is quite common for patients to be referred to the Surgical Assessment Unit (SAU) from the UCC and so this referral does not mean you were streamed incorrectly.
All patients that are referred to SAU join the queue on arrival at the unit and are seen in order of arrival and clinical urgency, regardless of whether they have been referred by A&E, the UCC or their GP.
We have passed your comments onto the matron and lead nurse for SAU and have shared your comments with Malling Health who run the UCC.
