Ancient Egypt
The climate in Ancient Egypt was very dry and hot. The Egyptians farmed and irrigated land near the Nile River. The river was used for fishing, drinking, cooking and bathing. Once a year the Nile River floods the grasses which brings in rich soil for planting and growing.
Stable Food Supply
The ancient Egyptians had a very stable food supply. The Nile River was an example because they used it for food, drinking, and, bathing. Water, lakes,rivers, and inland seas helped the Egyptians out with keeping a stable food supply. Important environmental factors water, topography, and vegetation. They sometimes ate fish, water birds, and some other animals. They used irrigation systems to keep the fields of crops to not flood. Farmers were successful because they used irrigation systems, they dug canals, or trenches, to direct river water to crops. Water was also used for transportation, cities, and towns, often used rivers as highways. Additionally, they ate ducks, geese, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, and ostriches. The farmers grew crops, plants, wheat, and grains. The Egyptians had domesticated animals like; sheep, goats, cattle, donkeys, and camels. They feed the animals plants and grass.
Social Structure
Pharaohs were the most powerful people besides the gods and goddesses in ancient Egypt. King Tut was once a very powerful pharaoh. The government was controlled by pharaohs. Khufu, Senusret, Hatsheput, and Ramses II, were four of some of the most powerful and successful pharaohs that ruled ancient Egypt. The "social pyramid" consists of (in order of most powerful to least powerful) pharaohs, government officials, priests, scribes, artisans, and peasants/ slaves. Children in ancient Egypt were highly valued. Men were the head of the household and the women managed homes and raised their children. Women could land and run businesses, file for divorces and represent themselves in legal matters. Also, some women could work as doctors, government officials, or priestesses.
The ancient Egyptians believed that there were many gods and goddesses. Some gods and goddesses took part in creation, brought the flood every year, offered protection, and some took care of other people after they died. Other gods and goddesses were worshiped by the pharaohs and priests in large temples. The ancient Egyptians built temples to honor their gods. They worshiped Osiris, Ra, Anubis, Horus, and many more gods and goddesses. It was important that you worshiped the gods Ra, Osiris, Anubis, and Horus because they believed that Osiris gave them the gift of barley and crops. Ra was believed to be swallowed by the sky goddesses Nut every night and reborn every morning. Anubis watched over the dead, was the god of embalming, and watched over the process of mummifying people when they died. Horus was the god of the sky. The Egyptians believed in many gods and goddesses and it affected their life and death by thinking because Anubis would put your soul on one side of a giant scale and he would put a feather on the other side, then Thoth would decide where you should go. The more bad things you've done in your life, the heavier your soul will be. If it was heavier than the feather, you would go to a bad place and if it was lighter than the feather, you would go to a good place. It was important to the Egyptians because that was what they believed in and sometimes affected their way of life.
System of Government
Pharaohs were the highest in the social pyramid and ruled over the people. Pharaohs made the laws and rules. They also owned all of Egypt, everything in it, all the land, all of the tools, all the animals, and all the people. He or she could tell anybody to do something and they had to do it. The form of government they had was monarchy. King Tut and Ramses were two powerful pharaohs. Khufu was a pharaoh from about 2551 to 2528 B.C.E. He was best known as the builder of a famous pyramid. He was responsible for the building of the Great Pyramid at Giza, It had more than 2 million stone blocks, tunnels, and several burial chambers. It was very complex. It took about 20 years to build. He organized and fed thousands of workers. Senusret was a pharaoh from about 1971 to 1926 B.C.E. The arts thrived under his rule. He controlled mines filled with gold, copper, and gems. Bracelets and necklaces were often detailed. He had many shrines, temples, and religious monuments. Senusret's first architectural achievement was the White Chapel. He also wanted his memories to live through his monuments. Hatsheput was a pharaoh from about 1473 to 1458 B.C.E. She was the first female pharaoh. Known for encouraging trade. One of her biggest accomplishments was her rise in power. She filled her government with loyal advisers. Sometimes she wore male clothing. Sometimes she would wear a fake beard worn by males. She also spread stories that her father was a god. She promoted trade to other countries. Ramses II was a pharaoh that ruled from about 1290 to 1224 B.C.E. He ruled for about 60 years. He is best known for his military leadership and for building numerous monuments. He used his power to excess. He had more than 100 wives and more than 100 children. He had hundreds of statues of himself throughout Egypt. Ramses was made a captain in the Egyptian army. His most famous military campaigns were against the Hittites Empire in Anatolia. He was also a great peacemaker because he and the Hittites signed the world's first peace treaty. One of his greatest projects was the temple complex at Abu Simbel. The cliff was on a bank of the Nile River. A smaller temple honored his favorite wife Nefertiti. When Ramses died, he was buried in a tomb that he ordered workers to construct solely for him. His mummy is one of the best preserved bodies ever found.
The Arts
Ancient Egyptian art was mostly found in tombs, walls of tombs, or either the pyramids of pharaohs, or the tombs of less important men and women during the Old Kingdom of Egypt. The arts included paintings, hieroglyphics, sculptures, and many more things. Amarna art shows people in very dramatic and exaggerated ways. Music was a part of the arts too. The Egyptians most likely had stringed instruments like guitars and harps. They also had wind instruments like recorders, clarinets, and bronze trumpets. Lastly they had percussion instruments like drums and rattles. They made pottery and some had designs like people, boats, and animals. They made life-size stone sculptures and made them sitting down because it was easier to carve. Some of these were put in people's tombs after they died because statues were sort of like a replacement body for people that died to use in the afterlife. They devoted lots of energy to building big buildings. The pharaohs built the pyramids as tombs for themselves.
Advances in Technology
Pyramids were used as tombs and places of worship and it also made more jobs for people to do like building and sculpting. They invented the waterwheel too. The ancient Egyptians used shoes to protect their feet from sharp or dangerous things and shoes were better for working. They came up with the calender and that made their lives easier because they could keep track of the days and know when events were going to happen. The Egyptians found and made medicine which could help or make a person feel better and possibly live longer. People invented new ways of writing and it made their lives easier because the people could know what's going on and what other people want to tell them. The ancient Egyptians were very intelligent.
Written Language
The ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphics are drawings of familiar objects, simplified to make them easier to draw. When they began to write in about 3000 B.C., they wrote from the beginning in ink on papyrus. Papyrus is a plant that grows wild over the Nile River Valley. In the end the papyrus looks something like paper. Hieroglyphic writing had over 1,000 symbols. Some hieroglyphs represented sounds, like our letters, and other represented whole words. They used clay tablets to write on. Today in modern times, we know how to translate hieroglyphs from the Rosetta Stone.
Facinating Egypt
Ancient Egypt was a very fascinating breathtaking place from what we've heard. The ancient Egyptian people were very intelligent and creative.

I really liked the owner, Mary. She visited with the other guests and myself quite late and then got up very early to cook us up an amazing hot breakfast, cooked to order! The house has a lot of history, but is furnished with lovely artwork and antiques. The house is walking distance to the lovely little downtown Stowe. I could not have had a better B&B experience! Thank you, Mary! Absolutely nothing
Hosts were very personable. Breakfasts were exceptional.
The whole experience was amazing. The owners of the inn really made us feel at home and were extremely knowledgable about the area and activities available. The breakfasts were also delicious and the rom was cosy, clean and very comfortable.
Very very peaceful setting with running creek just outside the bedroom window that lullabied us to sleep. Excellent breakfast in the morning. Inn is made from beautiful woodwork. Friendly Inn keeper. I recommend to others! No locks on the bedroom doors from the outside...leave your bags in the room at your own risk. Even the lock on the inside of the bedroom door was pretty iffy.
Wonderful welcome. Very personalised service. I had left beer in the restaurant kitchen fridge and the next day when I came back from skiing, they had left me beers on ice ready to drink in my room. Very nice touch! Everyday, a hot soup and cider were ready to feel warm and it brings guests to mingle in the living room. Traffic noise in the morning and it could use more opaque blinds.
Staff nice. Cute place Bed a little small.
My husband and I stayed here while visiting Sugarbush. The staff was amazing and made us feel welcome without being overbearing. We had never stayed at a B&B in this area and didn't know what to expect. All I can say is that we can't wait to come back again!
We were arriving on Christmas day so the owner sent us an e-mail about a month before to make sure we had dinner reservations for Christmas dinner. The staff was so welcoming and nice. We want to go back in the summer.
We stayed here with a group of friends and family for our wedding in the Longhouse, which is a separate building across parking lot from main building. Loved the rooms that have been redone (did not see the attached Annex rooms, which have not been completely renovated). Great layout allows for more than 2 people to stay in the room comfortably. (Some had a door from each sleeping area to shared bath; others the sleeping areas were separated by hallway with bath in between.) The Longhouse/Annex building worked out perfectly for our group as we rented 6 of the 8 rooms and had our own little area. There was some comfy lawn furniture where we spend time relaxing on a nice day. Breakfast was great and all staff was super friendly and accommodating. One of our guests had to work remotely and they not only let her check in very early, but offered her free breakfast as it was 9am. Food in the restaurant is superb. Great draft beer selection, extensive bar. The pub area is a great place to hang out as they have a casual indoor & outdoor dining, couches, TV, shuffle board, air hockey, and other games. We were really impressed with some of the small details, like the bathroom fan that works on a motion sensor, thermostat that gives outside temp & weather report. Owners Andrew and Heather were super friendly. Heather made a point to come introduce herself when we were checking out as I had not run into her during our stay. We love it and plan to stay here whenever we are in the Valley. No full length mirrors in the Longhouse. I agree with another reviewer that room could use a second mirror somewhere outside the bathroom. The pub area becomes overrun with children at times (esp during ski season), which is great if you are there as a family but a bit much if you're not.

Clara, the love of his life, has come back to him, but he is no longer worthy of her love.
Clara's brother-in-law Otto Vesper, Adolph's business partner, fears that the loss of Clara's design skills will doom the company's prospects. Following her to Montana, Otto is prepared to do whatever it takes to get Clara to return with him to New York.
As Clara fights for love and freedom, a dangerous secret in her late husband's life comes to light, threatening everyone she loves.

alwaysreadingAge: 55-65Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Nice ending to the series.April 4, 2017alwaysreadingAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5This is the third book in the Sapphire Brides Series
Widow Clara Vesper has had it with people running her life. First her mother, forced her into a loveless marriage, then her husband who made almost all the decisions regarding their lives, and now that her husband has passed on, her mother is back and determined to procure her another marriage regardless of what Clara wants. Packing up her two children, she sneaks out of the house one night to catch a train out west to her aunt and uncles ranch in Montana.
With the loss of the only woman that he has ever loved, Curtis Billingham has not led a life that he could be proud of. In fact regret has become a word that haunts him daily. Following a mining accident, he now has nothing but time on his hands, but that is when God begins to pursue him.
I have to say up front, out of the three books, this was the one that I struggled to get through. The storyline seemed to drag in the middle of the book, but I could have been me, because I got easily tired of Curtis' "poor me" routine.
While the first two books centered around the Sapphire industry, how they are found and/ or mined, and how they are cut into quality gems, this book didn't seem to center any part of the industry. In the first couple of chapters we find that Clara the jewelry designer for her husband's company, but for the rest of the book, that doesn't seem to come into play and I was really kind of disappointed about that.
Overall I found it to be a decent book to end the series. The things I had a hard time with are more of a personal preference, rather than anything to do with the book itself. I would still recommend it.
Chas Ray5 Stars Out Of 5Best One Yet!January 4, 2017Chas RayQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5A Love Transformed is Tracie Peterson's third novel in the Sapphire Brides series and one I'm sure you'll love. Used as a pawn her whole life will Clara Vesper find the courage to step out and claim the love and life she desperately wants?
Clara Vesper has known a great love. True it wasn't to her husband, Adolph, but to a man named Curtis Billingham, who she met when she was a teenager. Her mom, who isn't known for her loving kindness, flipped out and demanded Clara marry a man who would promote her up the social ladder. Adolph Vesper doesn't love Clara, but he decides she will make a suitable wife. He didn't realize how suitable until he discovered her ability to design jewelry thus launching his family's highly coveted line of Vesper Yogo jewelry, line. She doesn't take the credit of course, she leaves that to Adolph, she's just happy to have something to fill her time since the nanny takes care of the children.
When Adolph Vesper is murdered Clara is speechless. Who on earth would want to harm her husband? While still reeling from the shock of his sudden and gruesome death Clara learns that her husband, who is normally very savvy with his finances, incured massive amounts of debt and her brother in-law had to bail him out. Basically she's a penniless widow at the mercy of her brother in-law, Otto. She's not too worried, she's always had a pleasant relationship with Otto but when he declares his intent to marry her, after a reasonable amount of time of course, she knows she needs and escape plan. Her mother would be all to happy, not to mention eager, to marry her off to the next eligible, rich man who comes along, brother in-law or not. Her mother has never heard the word no, well she has, but she refuses to accept it.
Curtis Billingham met and fell in love with Clara when they were just teens, on her aunt's farm in Montana. He loved her something fierce and fully intended to marry her until her mother got involved. He wanted to fight for her, he tried but it seemed like it just wasn't meant to be. Losing Clara and then his parents a short time later, Curtis made some decisions that were less than honorable. He was a drunk and a womanizer and if it weren't for Madeline and Paul, Clara's aunt and uncle, there's no telling what would've happened to him. They took him in and cared for him and shared their faith. Curtis will be forever grateful to them for being his surrogate family.
A Love Transformed will draw you in and keep you guessing until the very last page. Clara has known her share of hardships, her mother being one, but she never lets it make her bitter. I was glad she was such a strong and determined woman, especially for her four year old twins, Hunter and Maddie. It would have been easy to marry Otto and live the life in which she became accustom to, but something told her that wasn't the right thing to do. She also could have given in, like she did last time, and let her mother call the shots, she found a suitable husband the first time, who's to say she couldn't do it again? Clara knows in her heart she'll never love another man other than Curtis and she feels like the only place she feels free is the ranch her aunt and uncle own.
Clara's mother, Harriet Oberlin, is a real piece of work. I kept hoping deep down that she loved Clara and was truly concerned with her well being. As it turns out, she sees her merely as a pawn to boost both of them up the social ladder. How can someone be that cold and calculating? Maybe it was just a different time but I found myself feeling so sorry for Harriet. Clara at least had her Aunt Madeline to fill in where her mother was lacking. Harriet had no one and she could only blame herself.
I truly hope you will give A Love Transformed a chance. Even if historical romance isn't you normal genre of choice I believe you will fall in love with the characters and the story. Tracie Peterson has a way of bringing places alive and crafting characters who manage to worm their way into your heart and become friends.

Anna MaeAge: Over 65Gender: Female5 Stars Out Of 5A Love Transformed by Tracie PetersonOctober 19, 2016Anna MaeAge: Over 65Gender: FemaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5An early 20th century novel about the victim of an arranged marriage. Clara is a wonderful example of accepting what you can't change. She was in a loveless marriage although she lived in luxury. She made the best of her circumstances by concentrating on loving and raising her precious twins and continuing to pray and trust God. A story of faith and forgiveness proving that money doesn't bring happiness but prayer changes things.
I won't give away the plot except to say that God is faithful and the tale comes full circle with a most satisfying ending of justice being served and true love prevailing. A must read! I love Tracie Peterson and I think I have every one of her novels.

Heart2HeartVictorville, CAAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Sad to see this series end, but what a wonderful conclusion!October 18, 2016Heart2HeartVictorville, CAAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5"Sometimes the most valuable things are hidden away like that. I think sometimes God just wants us to have to work for them because then we'll really know just how valuable they are."
In the latest of the Sapphire Brides Series from best-selling author Tracie Peterson, A Love Transformed is the third and final novel to make its debut.Set in New York City in 1917, Clara Vesper wasn't anticipating the news that came to her that her husband Adolf had been shot and is dead. Not only that, she learns from his twin brother Otto, that he has mismanaged his financial affairs and has left her penniless despite the lucrative jewelry business the three of them have partnered in. Even the very home and furnishings now belong to Otto and he has agreed to let her live there as a ways of helping her deal with this shocking blow.
It should come as no surprise that Clara feels very little about Adolf since their marriage was more of a business arrangement and not one of love even though it lasted over 14 years and produced two wonderful children, twins themselves Maddy and Hunter. What does surprise her is the freedom she now feels that she is no longer bound by marriage and can make amends for what happened 14 years ago to the only man she loved, Curtis Billingham. They parted ways in Montana after her mother forcefully removed her and ended their love affair before it could go any further. Now she has a chance to make it right and since she has no claims over anything in New York any longer, she is free to journey back to the only place she has known as home and love in Montana.
Now if she can manage to pack a few things before her mother arrives to upset her plans and find other suitable arrangements for Clara to find a wealthy and prosperous husband after a suitable mourning period. Clara knows if she is to find love and freedom again, she must leave while no one suspects where she might go and take the children with her. She only hopes that when she arrives at the bank later there will be enough money in her account to buy them train tickets to Montana. She'll have to figure out the rest when she gets there. She doesn't expect to find quite a bit of money and her husband's journals tucked away in a safe deposit box but she will deal with those later.
After a mine cave in, Curtis is lucky to be alive. But now he is under the care of Madeline and Paul Sersland, Clara's aunt and uncle, he has no choice but to spend his countless hours praying for the strength not only to get better physically, but spiritually with God as well. His past is something he can't quite come to terms with, even though Paul has reminded him that when you confess your sins to God, and trust in Him, you are a new creation and all that has happened in the past in God's eyes is wiped clean. If only he could believe it in his heart, and the last thing he expects is Clara to walk into his life again. If only God could transform his life and make it new again.
I received A Love Transformed by Tracie Peterson compliments of Baker Publishing Group and Net Galley. I have had the wonderful pleasure of following this series all the way through and while it does make the entire novel better by understanding the back story of the sapphire mine's success, you can read this one and enjoy it as a stand alone as well. For me, it was such a wonderful conclusion and to see the outcome of Clara's future truly was worth waiting for. Even though I could sense where this story was going, I still loved the journey along the way of watching Curtis fall in love with a new Clara and her delightful children. For me this was worth 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I had a group of warts frozen off my arm when I was about 7/8 years old. I am just wondering if these warts were caused by HPV or whether genital warts are the only warts caused by HPV? Also if the worts I had as a child were caused by HPV, will I be more likely to catch genital worts?
I look forward to hearing from you!
Many thanks

Hello,While warts are indeed caused by papilloma virus, the types that cause different conditions vary.Common warts are caused by type 2 and 7,high risk ones 16 and 18 implicated in cervical cancers, 6 and 11 most of genital warts.They do not interchange or predispose to the other.So you need not worry about being at higher risk of contracting the other types.Hope this helps and answers your question.OK?

Belarus is a country that has experienced a patchwork of history under different rulers such as Lithuania, Poland and the Russian Empire. In the 21st century, Belarus has become a powerhouse in the manufacturing and service industries. This can be seen in its capital Minsk and other cities such as Polatsk, Brest and Orsha. While these economic sectors are indeed beneficial to Belarus as a whole, we should not forget that religion has always played an important part in the lives of this unique people.
Many attractions such as the Cathedral of Saint Mary in Minsk and the famous Roman Catholic Church of Brest are known tourist havens.

Is it a sign he's thinking of committing soon when he starts asking you what you want in the future?

I can see it now. Teary eyed GI's getting the mental heath disability payment to enrich the mental health industry by showing up at the doors of some mind quack without a science to their profession and based on mental health propaganda and drug addiction from psychotropic / anti depressant drugs given to the GI's while in a war zone.
Lets not overlook the enticement of the disability payment and the long term services of the mental health in correcting a bogus "made to order" mental illness requiring more mind drugs..It's all about money and the compromising and weakening the U.S. Military for the mental health's power and gain.
Baltimore Sun's article by Lisa Chedekel and Matthew Kauffman " Policies on mentally troubled troops questioned" is informative to the problems of psychotropic drug usage on the war front.
#2 Dec 29, 2009
The psychiatric services of Upstate Medical Center is well known in this area for their outreach programs. You are not from this area, so therefore you do not know this. It is a good clinic with VERY good doctors.
I have know troops with post traumatic stress. It is not something that can be flung aside with a blank statement.
My own nightmares ended just a few years ago and I have been retired for 14 years!(no, I do not draw any disability)
A single article on a broad, complex problem over many years does not make it fact. It is like taking a snap shop of a street in a large city slum and saying this is what the whole country is like.
Unless you are a doctor familiar with such problems, or a combat veteran, then I assume you are just a cynical minded person with a lot of problems in your heart.
I pity you

Exactly what science do they have?
The mental health industry is political with social control and without concern to the public health and welfare.
The mental health / Pharmacutical connection is causing drug abuse and compromising the sanity of this nation for political reasons.
The mental health industry is making a diagnoses on the phycological differences between the so called "mentally ill" and the "normal" without knowing what a proper and healthy chemical "balance" look like?"
There is no test according to the APA who admitted they lied in 2007.
If we respect metabolic changes based on daily dietary habits, weight gain / loss, terms of the survival of the organisms as a person age along with physical conditioning, physical illness, electrolyte level, gender differences , body temperature, I don't see where the Mental Health and Counseling Industry could conform to any consistency in data with consideration to the above to state a person has a mental disease or illness based on chemical imbalance.
Besides, the mental health psychiatric diagnoses isn't even part of standard medical procedure known as the medical model in which all doctors are trained and is the only branch of medicine operating completely on political decisions and hearsay.
If an orthopedic surgeon operated on a patient without the aid of an X-ray, he would be working at the car wash the next day.
No Test for chemical imbalance
There Are No "Chemical Imbalances"
"The hypothetical disturbances of neurochemical function that are said to underlie "mental illness" are just that: hypothetical. No experiment has ever shown that anyone has an "imbalance" of any neurotransmitters or any other brain chemicals. Nor could any conceivable experiment demonstrate the existence of a "chemical imbalance," simply because no one, least of all the biopsychiatrists, has the slightest idea what a proper and healthy chemical "balance" would look like."
"...the views and beliefs of biopsychiatry have nothing to do with the answers to scientific questions in any case: the hunt for biological "causes" of "mental illness" is an entirely fallacious enterprise in the first place; the non- existence of data to support its assertions is quite beside the point."
"The latest edition of one pharmacology text has this to say about the status of depression as a disease: "Despite extensive efforts, attempts to document the metabolic changes in human subjects predicted by these [biological] hypotheses have not, on balance, provided consistent or compelling corroboration." This is a long-winded way of admitting that not even a scrap of evidence supports the idea that depression results from a "chemical imbalance." Yet patients are told every day - by their doctors, by the media, and by drug company advertising - that it is a proven scientific fact that depression has a known biochemical origin. It follows directly that millions of Americans are being lied to by their doctors; and people surely can't give informed consent for drug treatment when what they're being "informed" by is a fraud.... To sum up: there is no evidence whatsoever to support the view that "mental illness" is biochemical in origin; in other words, things like "Unipolar Disorder" and "Attention Deficit Disorder" simply do not exist."

Now THAT is a very interesting argument. That got me thinking and I take my hat off to you.
Remember also that the individual neurons do not actually touch each other and the synopsis is made through chemical electrical impulses. I know that magnesium plays an important part in this, but who knows exactly which chemicals, enzymes,or combinations thereof causes a brain to function normally. If we knew that, then perhaps there would be a cure for MS, Alzheimer, Parkinson and other neurological diseases.
In my work I regularly come in contact with many people who have "chemical imbalances" in their brains. I have seen them when they forget, or refuse to take their "meds" and of course when they are on them. Science may not be able to satisfactorily explain exactly what takes place in their brains. One cannot forget the myriad of enzymes that are at work also, but the stark behavioral difference between when they are on their "meds" and when they are not cannot be denied.
We must recognize that medicine is NOT and exact science and by the very nature of psychology, it must be particularly true in that field.
I have heard that ADD and Bipolar disorders are the most commonly misdiagnosed problems in medicine. I have also heard that they are frequently used as a "catch all" when the exact problems cannot be found.
That said, I have seen people who have been diagnosed with the above disorders who simply could not function, yet one would never know there was anything wrong with them while they were on their "meds".
I submit that this is irrefutable evidence that in many cases, the doctors know what they are doing when prescribing psychiatric medicine.
I also think we have to be careful with broad accusations of lying and conspiracy. I am certain that there are some doctors who fit that category, but I am also certain there are many doctors whose integrity is beyond reproach.
This is a very interesting subject. Thank you for continuing it.

Weasel Dust of the SS
Dec 212011
It sounds like the title of a bad Uwe Boll film, but evidently some South American drug runners decided to "disguise" over 200 kilos of cocaine base on its way to the lab for final crystallization by pressing it into blocks and wrapping it with a Nazi flag.
Needless to say, their diabolically clever plan to evade detection failed.
One suspects they may have been sampling their own product.

I just want to know how many times does a woman normally want to hang out with a guy, or how long she is friends with him before she decides she wants to date him?
Most Helpful Girl
Honestly, this is too general to give a specific answer. There's no set number of a times a girl hangs out with a guy friend before she thinks "I want to date him." If she's not attracted to the guy, interested in someone else, or just doesn't want a relationship, she won't want to date him.
If she's attracted to him, she could think he's not interested in her so she doesn't date him. Or maybe she doesn't like his personality and has to get to know him better before she considers going on a date with him.
There are just too many things at play to give a definite answer here.11|00|0
Thanks for BA!
If a guy doesn't want to get friend zoned, he needs to make it known that he's interested in her. In other words, FLIRT. Don't be afraid to be obvious about it.

|[jira] Commented: (MATH-313) Functions could be more object-oriented without losing any power.
|Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:11:59 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-313?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12772090#action_12772090 ] Jake Mannix commented on MATH-313: ---------------------------------- Ok, if people are typically out there using commons-math and implementing all the interfaces in the analysis package in classes which have totally separate functionalities and class hierarchies like you're describing (which is what I was questioning whether it happens - I misunderstood you to be talking about the Solvers themselves), then regardless of whether this is good design or not, the interface should be left alone, and can be, even while allowing this functionality for "throwaway functions". I was thinking of the interface as primarily for lightweight callback-like functions, which are effectively operated _with_, not operated _on_, which is why having the ability to make method calls like: {code} RealVector v = w.map(Exp.preCompose(Negate.preCompose(Pow2))); {code} as opposed to this {code} RealVector v = w.map(new UnivariateRealFunction() { public double value(double t) throws FunctionEvaluationException { return Exp.value(Negate.value(Pow2.value(t)))); }); {code} and instead puts the same boilerplate for composing functions, adding them, subtracting them, multiplying them and scaling them away in an abstract class instead of littering user code. So like I said - knowing that these interfaces were designed to be used as providing APIs for implementers to toss their own class instances into solvers and other c-math algorithms (which I did not know, just looking at the set of interfaces themselves), it's easy enough to leave the interface alone and make a new one which extends from it which is designed for "pure functions on Real numbers", that really are meant to be nothing *other* than a function. Maybe that's a better name for this interface: RealPureFunction. But perhaps it should *only* be an abstract class then, since you don't expect anyone to be implmeneting their own composition methods. > Functions could be more object-oriented without losing any power. > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MATH-313 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-313 > Project: Commons Math > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Environment: all > Reporter: Jake Mannix > Fix For: 2.1 > > > UnivariateRealFunction, for example, is a map from R to R. The set of such functions has tons and tons of structure: in addition to being an algebra, equipped with +,-,*, and scaling by constants, it maps the same space into itself, so it is composable, both pre and post. > I'd propose we add: > {code} > UnivariateRealFunction plus(UnivariateRealFunction other); > UnivariateRealFunction minus(UnivariateRealFunction other); > UnivariateRealFunction times(UnivariateRealFunction other); > UnivariateRealFunction times(double scale); > UnivariateRealFunction preCompose(UnivariateRealFunction other); > UnivariateRealFunction postCompose(UnivariateRealFunction other); > {code} > to the interface, and then implement them in an AbstractUnivariateRealFunction base class. No implementer would need to notice, other than switching to extend this class rather than implement UnivariateRealFunction. > Many people don't need or use this, but... it makes for some powerfully easy code: > {code}UnivariateRealFunction gaussian = Exp.preCompose(Negate.preCompose(Pow2));{code} > which is even nicer when done anonymously passing into a map/collect method (a la MATH-312). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

I am looking for a software to manage variable data printing. We want to print on laser printer customer invoices, packing lists and pro-forma invoices in about 10 different formats with variable data for each customer. Data can be originated from a text formatted document or a plain text file from our ERP. I have been checking products like Objectif Planet Press Suite or Xerox FreeFlow Variable Information Suite, but theese programs seems to be very expensive and more oriented to high quantities of printing or to promotional printing.
It is also important to us not to be tied up with a specific brand of laser printer.
Any suggestions?

The problem you are going to run into in my experience is that most of the differnt printer and copier venders all offer this but they offer there solution to try and lock you in as a long term customer this is one of the reasons why it is so hard to purchase the solution and not get tied down to a specific Vender. Hp offers some of this as well through ther Capella Technologies which can be implemented with various printers. Good Luck the challenge will be not getting locked in to a printer manufacture.

I've found DATAWORKS 3 from RICOH. It seems to be a great tool not tied to a specific printer vendor using PCL or Postcript printing but it costs around $15000 for just 1 printer. As we are not a printing company, we just want to print good looking and customized invoices, orders and shipment confirmation for our customers this price seems too expensive.
Oct 17, 2011 at 12:23 UTC
Hi FVANEGAS,
My company uses the PlanetPress Suite by Objectif Lune. We have been using it since about 2003. I used to personally work for the software vendor that we bought the product from (IKON/Ricoh) and the product is light years beyond what most variable data packages can offer. We currently print various versions of Invoices, Packing Lists, and Pro-Forma Invoices (tied in with the Invoice version, but conditionally printed), as well as a ton of other documents. My company has about four facilities with approximately 40+ printers. Some of the workflows range from printing, printing and emailing PDF copies, archiving PDF copies, TIF images and metadata routed to our EDMS software, etc.
PlanetPress is not tied to any one printer, as the primary requirement is Postscript, though there is the ability to print through a Windows driver, so that limitation can almost be overlooked. Postscript printers are preferred and the most efficient with the software. I have only used the Windows drivers for printing to proprietary thermal label printers, such as Zebra and Intermec. My company has had Canon, Ricoh, and now Toshiba printers, as well as HP LaserJet MICR check printers and Intermec Thermal label printers.
We used to have a per printer license setup, but found that it was cheaper to go with the server version of the workflow software (PlanetPress Watch Production). We also have the PlanetPress Imaging software, which gives the ability to create, email, and archive PDF (TIF, JPG) copies of the documents, along with the metadata (in PPI and/or XML output).
I highly recommend the PlanetPress Suite, as it is fairly adaptable to any situation. My company is a customer and when I worked for the reseller, I supported both small companies with single facilities and large nationally-oriented companies with facilities in the double digits with hundreds of printers and/or "output" workflows. The software is scalable, based on your needs, so the price can be flexible. Regardless, plan for the future, as you can get bulk discounts on larger quantities, as well as software support for multiple years purchased upfront. Objectif Lune can also work with you remotely via GoToMeeting to handle any of your development needs, if you go that route, or they offer free, online training, as long as you keep up with your support contract (PPCare). If anything, contact Objectif Lune direct, via their Sales Department in New Jersey, and they can send someone out to your company to do a needs analysis and help you in seeing opportunities with the software that can help justify the cost.
Hopefully, this information helps and let me know if you have any other questions. :)
Best Regards,
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

But a "Passer" and a "QB" aren't necessarily the same thing. I liked White and thought he was a great QB, but Meredith just had that special "Something". The guy had moxie (sp?) and an overload of guts. We are lucky as fans though to be able to debate whether an all time great QB like Meredith is the 2nd or 3rd best QB in cowboys history. Meredith, Morton, Staubach, White, and Aikman... we've certainly had some great ones. In a way it's bad though cuz now we expect that same greatness from every QB we get. It's the same with our RBs too, although Hambrick may have been so bad that he helped us be a little more leniant (sp?) on our RBs now. Still, Julius Jones is gonna get criticized this year regardless of what he does. That's just a part of playing for America's Team. But you know what? If you can't handle the heat, get the hell out of Dallas is what I say.

As a fine piece of theatre, Brassed Off is strongly recommended and deservedly attracted the attention of the local BBC Look North programme, which prominently featured the production in the middle of its run. But as a raw and gritty slice-of-life take on some of the most troubled times anyone can remember since the last war, it's genuinely important - and a very timely reminder of the industrial heritage we all still share.
States, businesses, and global civil society must take action to neutralise this pandemic of violence and threats and to integrate a human rights approach into the interactions between the state, business, and civil society. Environmental human rights defenders cannot continue to be collateral damage for the share prices of multinationals or the whims of government.
We need to radically rethink the notion that Britain is helping Africa to develop. The UK's large aid programme is, among other things, being used to promote African policies from which British corporations will further profit. British policy in Africa, and indeed that of African elites, needs to be challenged and substantially changed if we are serious about promoting long term economic development on the continent.
While all the news reports are focussing on how coal literally fuelled the industrial revolution, how at one point, one million miners were working in pits, how Big Coal is now over and heavy industry all but kaput in the UK, no one is really talking about how coal mining built communities, cultures, families, memories. My memories.
People are angry with President Humala, who they say is in the pocket of Southern Copper: 'Our politicians are corrupt. The president refuses to listen to the protestors because he and others take bribes from the mine'. Another passer-by blames the government: 'My two boys are policemen. The government should make Southern Copper leave. Instead, Humala makes us kill each other.'
The lack of any meaningful restraining power over the 1% is not just bad for the rest of us - it is in the end even bad for them. On deeper inspection, it seems corporate titans may be little more than oversized Lords of the Flies, who need to be rescued from themselves. When we talk about shifting power away from them, we really are doing it for their own good.

New Commission communication on European higher education in the world
Globalisation and technological development are radically changing the landscape of higher education. Over the next twenty years the demand for higher education is expected to grow exponentially, from the current 99 million students worldwide to 414 million by 2030. The European Commission thought it was the right momentum to launch a new strategy, 'European higher education in the world', aiming mainly at preparing students to become global citizens, enhancing the overall quality of European education by developing opportunities for international collaboration, expand the use of ICTs and Open Education Resources for new delivery modes to widen access, or internationalise curricula. The strategy notably promotes U-Multirank, the new EU higher education ranking system. See also UNESCO's 2013 report: "Rankings and accountability in higher education: uses and misuses".

Email is a popular choice for both companies and consumers alike when it comes to marketing, and it's easy to see why. From a business perspective, email is a cost-effective way to reach a large group of people with timely information. For consumers, email offers the ability to collect information and offers in a single repository for review as frequently or as rarely as desired, while taking up zero physical space.
Because there are so many companies competing for attention, it's more important than ever to know how to write an effective marketing email that will get the results you want. That's why today, I'm going to cover six things to keep in mind when it comes to writing an effective email that your customers will read and respond to.
1) Keep your subject simple, but informative
Use your subject line to tell your recipient what they'll find by opening your message, and leave the details to the body of the email. Include your company name to help identify yourself. Effective subjects explain why you're contacting the recipients ("Thank you for choosing Kendall Press") or identify the content of your email ("Kendall Press Newsletter"). [Read more…]

Book 1, Chapter 1 Summary
At sixteen, Jenna finally became a woman. Up until that time, she still had the body of a little girl and dressed as one. When her breasts grew in, she changed her wardrobe, showing off her new woman's body. Her father said nothing, and she secretly was jealous of her friends whose parents would never let their daughters walk out of the house showing all their assets.
After attending a Little Caesar concert, she decided it was time to get a tattoo and told her brother she wanted one. He took her and his girlfriend, at the time, to a Tattoo parlor called the Rabbit Hole. Even though Jenna was only sixteen and the sign said, "Must be 18 or over," it did not deter her from getting a tattoo. Jack walked out of the backroom and asked what she wanted. She chose her tattoo, and Tony's girlfriend decided on the same one. After finishing the tattoos, Jack asked Jenna to spend some time with him, but she declined.
Two weeks later Jenna was back at the Rabbit Hole, to change her tattoo. Jack was there and gladly obliged. He again asked Jenna to go upstairs and talk. This time she said yes. They started seeing each other everyday after that. He was a tough guy that Jenna wanted to fix to be the sensitive man she knew he was. However, when she agreed to go with him to a boat party, she would realize that not all tough men have a sensitive side.
Book 1, Chapter 1 Analysis
Her father did not monitor Jenna very closely. This is possibly one of the factors that led Jenna to make certain decisions; even at sixteen, she knew this. When Jenna describes deciding the location of her first tattoo, she says, "I'm not sure whether I was scared that he would react to it or, even worse, that he wouldn't." This gives the reader insight into her relationship with her father.
The reader sees that Jenna is getting ready to make some bad decisions, especially the reasons for going out with Jack. She saw him as hurt, wanted to comfort him and thought she was falling in love with him.

Mayhem # 3022551
About MePlease accept my virtual handshake as I greet you through the screen and welcome you to my page. Even though I'm relatively young, please don't assume I am one to waste either of our precious time as I highly value my professional attitude while expecting the same in return.
Prior to turning 18, I was signed with a minor modeling agency but was forced to take hiatus as I was intent on graduating early. That being said, I'm quite educated on the scams and red flags. I'm here to indulge into a learning experience to fully understand this industry and discover if I truly belong here not to be part of an embarrassing scandal.
I do not trouble myself with sketchy photographers asking for nudes and such things but will respond positively to anybody as willing to further their experiences appropriately. Do not mistake me for being "high maintenance", I will gladly wear outrageous clothing, climb walls etc to achieve a successful photo.
I apologize for my abrupt bluntness, I swear I'm not nearly as "scary" but I figure it be best to be direct here and let the pieces fall where they may. Respect is 2 way street, so it's a guarantee I will be just as respectful as it is expected of a professional working model/actress.
Please kindly contact me at email@example.com if I cannot respond back on this website due to very limited messaging.
