D&A Dunlevy Landscape Designer Benefiting Children
When it comes to renovating a property, and changing its overall look, both from inside and out, there are many professionals involved. Some of them specialize in landscape design, while others can entirely transform bathrooms. Also, many experts have years of experience in dealing with kitchen and living room decoration and renovation. Usually, every company focuses on a particular area of the house. These professionals know how to take care of a property, and how to improve its appearance. They have the necessary skills and knowledge, and eye for detail. Experts know what would look good, and what wouldn't.
Have you ever wondered how it would look like to have several professionals working together on a project? Each of them would be responsible for an area of the house they specialize in. One of these projects is DC Design House. It started in 2008 as a unique event, and it is a nonprofit entity. Top area designers took part in this project, where they had the chance to display their talents to the visitors. The purpose of this event was to raise funds for a local charity. However, it attracted more attention than they initially hoped for. If you are curious about it, you can search online for more information. Additionally, you will stumble upon many pictures taken at this event. If you plan to renovate your house anytime soon, or at least to redecorate it, you can find inspiration by taking a look at the ideas of these professionals.
DC Design House evolved into the region's most prominent annual residential design attraction. It is a leading fundraiser project for Children's National Health System. Thanks to combined efforts of its founders, organizers, sponsors, design industry manufacturers, local media, and of course, some of the most awarded designers, it has quickly become quite popular. This event attracted the attention of more than 70,000 visitors, resulting in about $1.5 million raised for its goal since its beginning in 2008.
One of the chosen designers for this event is a company D&A Dunlevy. They specialize in landscape design and were responsible for creating and perfecting the appearance of the front entry of the house. This company has years of experience in working in this field, not to mention many satisfied clients. They stand out from their competition thanks to innovative ideas, and competent employees, so it is no wonder they were chosen for this significant project.
These professionals know how to combine different elements and incorporate them, so they achieve the perfect appearance of the garden. They know that the key to a fantastic home begins at its front yard. Without D&A Dunlevy DC Design House maybe wouldn't be as successful as it was this year. Thanks to combined efforts of several professionals, this project was able to raise funds for Children's National Health System.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Review
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will intrigue readers in this last installment of the series for many different reasons. These reasons include exciting text, a well described story line, amazing detail to writing, and is an exciting conclusion to the Harry Potter series. J.K Rowling adds lots of excitement to her writing that captivates readers. One of the ways the author does this is by adding large quantities of suspense to her writing. She does this by building up the the excitement bit by bit before releasing it. She also adds mystery and fear to her writing. Other ways the author adds suspense to her writing is by connecting readers to the characters. The author does this using sympathy. She also pulls this off by giving each character a different personality. What I most enjoyed about this book is the fact that it had a excellent and descriptive story line. Unlike the first books,the protagonist travel more. For instance, Harry Potter is pursued across Britain and there are intense moments in every scene. In this book there is more of a plot. In the previous books there is a mystery at the school that always involves a new teacher teaching the same class as the last teacher in that class. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows involves a journey and countless fight scenes. Something well done that impressed me in this book is the descriptive writing. The characters are extremely well described. Each character is formed into a different personality type that has an influence on their decisions in the book. The plot is also very neatly described. There is an intense story line that captivates readers and descriptive action scenes make you feel like you are in the book. The author does such a great job with creating fear and suspense that you won't be able to have any sleep for a weak. Lastly, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is an exciting conclusion to the series. The climax fills readers to the brim with suspense. The action is amazingly well described and there is an awesome ending. Also, key moments tie back to earlier experiences in previous books. Good guys will emerge and the bad guys are held back by certain factors occurring throughout the book. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in an amazing read that will keep readers glued to their seats.

BY JIM MAXWELL. Copyright © 1989 CSK Publications.
Used by permission. First printed in Mopar Action
Following his trademark formula, Carroll Shelby transformed a standard 112-inch wheelbase Dodge Dakota Sport model into a true modern-day muscle truck — with V8 power. Yes, this Dakota was the first V8, rear-wheel-drive machine Shelby had built since the 1960s.
Shelby Automobiles in Whittier, California, bought vehicles from Dodge and turned them into high performance bargains that outperformed vehicles costing thousands of dollars more. The 318 cubic inch (5.2 liter) fuel injected Shelby Dakota boasted 175 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque and sold for under $16,000.
Slipping the V8 into an engine bay designed for the 3.9 liter V6 was not as hard as it would seem, since the 3.9 liter was built on the Chrysler LA block (318/360 cubic inch) platform. Basically, the V6 is a 318-style engine less two cylinders. But the swap meant the Dakota's cooling system required a little work, as there was now no room for the engine-driven cooling fan between the block and the radiator. So Shelby Automobiles engineered a cooling system that operates with an electric fan mounted on the forward side of the radiator.
The Shelby Dakota also used a new V8-rated 4-speed automatic transmission, with a high stall speed torque converter and rear-mounted New Process overdrive system. To provide the best possible performance, the 4-speed unit was fitted with an auxiliary transmission cooler. Power was put to the ground via a special limited-slip differential fitted with 3.90-to-1 gears. Another new feature on the Shelby truck was a unique rear-wheel anti-lock brake system that used a speed sensor, electronic control module and pressure-limiting valve.
To improve rebound and compression control, nitrogen gas-charged shock absorbers were fitted to the truck, as were hollow-spoke-style 15x6-inch aluminum wheels, mounting P225/70R15 Goodyear Eagle GT+4 high performance radials.
The 3,610-pound Sport Dakota was equipped with a number of other special Shelby pieces, including a three-spoke leather-wrapped sport steering wheel, charcoal cloth inserts in the seats and door panels, and an AM/FM stereo/cassette deck with four speakers.
Styling touches make the truck look as good as it runs. These include a light-bar extension behind the cab (mounted to the bed of the truck), Bosch auxiliary-light-equipped front air dam, four non-color-keyed wheel lip extensions, and graphics on the hood and sides. The brawny V8 Dakota was painted white or red [like the Spirit R/T], accented with blackout front and rear bumpers, grille and trim. Small "V8" logos on the front fenders and Shelby markings on the windshield and lower front grille completed the package.
With its quick off-the-line performance (0 to 60 in 8 seconds [editor's note: yes, slightly more than a 1995 Neon]), this truck can handle just about anything it comes up against on the road. The Goodyear GT+4 performance radials give plenty of road-gripping traction, and cornering capabilities are good thanks to the gas-charged shocks. The Shelby Dakota is a true muscle truck, which puts it in a class all by itself. Since Shelby only expects to build some 1500 units by August 1989, if you're interested, you'd better get your order in quick. [Webmaster note: this was written in Fall 1989]
This was not a Shelby, but it was a sign of things to come: the 1989 Dodge Dakota Sport concept.
The production 1988 Dakota Sport had a V6 engine, 15-inch aluminum wheels, and many trim upgrades.
"Shelbydak" wrote: I own #939 with 97,000 miles on it. My engine started knocking so I took it out and stripped it. It had aluminum flat top pistons, double roller timing chain, roller lifters, and mild cam. I owned this truck since new and the engine has never been out before, so I think the 175 hp is a little off. I compared the crank to one in a full size 1989 Dodge truck's 318 and it was very different, maybe stroker or balanced.
Standard 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota

Zendesk and Jotform SMTP SettingsAsked by presetschool on September 27, 2013 at 06:41 AM
Hi Guys.
I use Zendesk for my helpdesk and I am currently using SMTP option to route email notifications from the form to Zendesk, that is the AUTOMATED EMAIL that comes to ME not to the FORM SUBMITTER to Zendesk.
Somewehere within the emails sent an Email ID still refers to JOTFORM and therefore it is being marked as an automated email by Zendesk and getting Suspended.
This means my customers don''t get Zendesk email notification of Ticket Creation.
This is the Suspension Message generatedCause: Automated response email (What is this?) E-mail ID: <email@example.com>
Reason: Automated response mail
This is used when the email header indicates that the message is an auto-generated email response.
I assumed the whole idea was that setting up SMTP in Jotform makes the email originate from my servers? Can the Email ID part of the EMAIL HEADER be removed from your end.
As alwasy I know you gus will help me understand what's going on and how to solve my issue
JotForm Support
I'm not quite sure if it is possible to remove the email ID of the email header.
Let my forward your request to our second level support team, they have more knowledge about how it works. I cannot commit with an estimated time of response, but I can confirm that they will get your message.
I have the same problem.......

Exploring Economic Inequality with The Change Agent
Extreme inequality in terms of wealth and income is barely news anymore. CEO pay has skyrocketed over the past 30 years while workers' incomes have stagnated or decreased. A report from last April states that the world's "richest 64 individuals control as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion people combined." Five years ago, the occupy movement exploded … Continue reading Exploring Economic Inequality with The Change Agent

South Texas, sitting just north the Mexican-United States border, has a dessert like climate. The sun is exceedingly intense in the region, regularly reaching temperatures of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Often times, the intense sunshine and heat may be too much for flower species. There are, however, several varieties of flowering plants native to South Texas, which makes them ideal for gardens in that area.
Thelesperma filifolium, commonly called green thread, is a native wildflower of South Texas. Reaching a height of 26 inches, the flowers are seen along roadsides. Revered for its bright yellow blooms and hardy growing nature, the plant prefers full sun and thrives in the hot South Texas sun. Green thread blooms through March and June and often flowers come up through the fall. Green thread seeds can be easily purchased online, and plant nurseries often sell sprouted versions of the plant.
Aphanostephus skirrhobasis, lazy daisy, is a wildflower native to South Texas. Growing 2 feet high and blooming through February and November, it is nearly and all-year flowering plant. The lazy daisy gets its name from its blooming habit. All blooms close until midday, when the sun is strongest, giving the plant a lazy blooming appearance. Lazy daisy is best grown from the seed. Though considered an annual, it often replants its self from seed droppings in late fall and winter. The blooms are white with a yellow interior.
Wine Cup Flower
Callirgoe involucrate, the wine cup flower, is a flowering perennial of South Texas. The red wine color of the flower and its wine cup shape lends to its common name. The flower requires full sun, and its growth is vine like, spreading out 2 to 3 feet. Best grown from seed, the plant is hardy and should be spaced 3 feet from other plant species. Trim back at the end of summer for improved fall growth.
The Texas Bindweed
The Texas bindweed, Convolvulus equitans, is an indigenous wild flower from South Texas. A perennial, this vine like plant produces white flowers with a deep purple center. Able to grow 8 feet from its root base, the plant can overwhelm other plants. Do not plant other species within the growing range of the Texas Bindweed. Plant in full sun; the blooms appear nearly all year and are very drought tolerant. The Texas bindweed, like most types of wild flowers, grows best from seed.

What We Talk About When We Talk About Fat
You guys know when I talk about being fat, I mean it affectionately. But in this post I briefly touched on the connotations of "fat" and I was really surprised by how many people said to me afterwards how much they've been affected by the negative things our society associates with being fat. I've always played up to the stereotype and been the bouncy, bubbly fat girl who openly declares her adoration for all things pizza, and as a result I've perpetuated it further – which may or may not be a good thing. I honestly couldn't call it.
Because I've been genuinely amazed at how common this is – with men and women of all ages, shapes and sizes admitting after that post that they feel like they're constantly wearing a mask to match themselves up to the personality that their weight demands they have. In other words, they're denying themselves their own personal freedom because of their body shape and the way they feel it defines them.
And this isn't just overweight people – it's pervasive across all levels. Ask any girl – or boy – and they'll probably tell you they have fat days, weeks, or years. This won't be the first time I tell you guys it's a state of mind. And it won't be the last. I 'm going to drill this one in if it kills me.
So when we say the word fat, what do we mean?
Do we mean lazy? Ugly? Maybe we mean lacking in self-control or self-awareness. Or perhaps we mean just anything above 110lbs. Who bloody knows.
Either way, I don't buy it, and neither should you. When I was 290lbs, I worked damn hard – a full-time job and a full-time MPhil don't come easy, you know. And I'm not alone in that – so many people I talk to gain weight because they just don't have the time to spend preparing meals and working out that they need to lose weight. That's why the "quick fix" idea is so pervasive – because we just don't have time for slow and steady.
So lazy ain't it.
Ugly? Pfft. Don't even get me started on that. Beauty, eye, beholder, yadda yadda yadda. You're not ugly. Stop thinking it, and get away from me with those toxic thoughts.
As for the apparent lack of self-control and self-awareness – well, for the former, I refer you back to my earlier statement vis the job and MPhil. And I was painfully, painfully self-aware. I knew, when I was struggling to find clothes to fit, when I was making yet another phone call to Pizza Hut (before I discovered the anonymity of online ordering – although facing the same delivery boy two days in a row brought that indignity right home) – even when I was being rejected for jobs, I knew that people would think a certain thing about me. I thought it about myself. Fat-shaming central was right here.
So no – when we talk about fat, we shouldn't be talking about any of those things. Those things have been constructed around a stereotype, and stereotypes are something we disapprove of round these parts. And it's not like they mean anything anyway – check out this article, which describes how some Olympic frickin' athletes have been called fat. I give up.
When I was bigger, I was buying into the stereotype of what it means to be a fat girl because I didn't feel as though I had any other option. And it worries me that the more we perpetuate these stereotypes, and the more we try to pigeon-hole 'fat' people as having to have a certain identity and certain negative characteristics, the worse it's going to get – because when I had a day where I felt ashamed of being overweight, the last thing in the entire world I was going to do was join a gym full of skinny people for an extra helping of guilt. No way. I'd be far more likely to go home and comfort eat, which I'm pretty sure is the very definition of a vicious cycle.
What's amazed me about my tentative steps into the world of health and fitness – through my interactions with other bloggers, fitness professionals, and the like – is that it's not these super-healthy-types that are the ones spreading the shame around. This is all coming from the trashy magazines and snarky websites – which, unfortunately, have a much wider audience available to them. And because they don't understand fat, and because they've desperately bought into the impossible ideal, what we talk about when we talk about fat is… Bullshit.
Bodies come in all shapes and sizes – and while now, I wouldn't advocate being morbidly obese as a healthy way to live, I'd say we don't focus anywhere near enough on health as a goal, and a reasonable bit of fat as a good thing. Think of it this way – on Matt's programme, we're still aiming for between 21-32% fat. So even science says that having some fat on you is ok. Not just ok, in fact – good.
Culturally, for all of our sakes, we have to stop demonising fat, and perpetuating stereotypes of fat-ness – because it doesn't help anyone, especially when we can't, as a society, work out exactly what fat actually is. It's okay not to be a size 0, but equally, if that's just the way you're built and you're healthy at that size, then it's fine to be that too. What matters is being healthy and happy– your own body has its own rules as to what qualifies as a booty storage area, and no amount of crazy diets or self-flagellation are going to change that.
After all, looks can be pretty deceiving – I'm still not a size 10 (not even close) and I've still got plenty of bits that jiggle where they shouldn't. But, I can lift heavier weights than a lot of men, and I can run up a flight of stairs without breaking a sweat. I couldn't do that a year ago, and now I can, my body feels better inside. Stand me next to most people, though, and I'm still fat – and therefore, presumably, all of the things I mentioned above. It's as possible to be thin and unfit as it is to be fat and fit – which is why we should all be striving for individual health goals, rather than conforming to an impossible ideal.
We need to readjust what we mean when we talk about fat. And not only that, we need to rethink what we say when we talk about each other. We can continue to be negative, and end up trapped in a world of miserable diets doomed to failure – or we can give this whole healthy, positive, supportive thing a shot.
Your call.

Another excellent post. Getting fit is the main thing, everything else, especially respect for yourself will follow together with the motivation for education and so on.
I truly believe the mantra that fitness is not just a tool for weight loss, for me, it has become a way to structure the day. Especially when researching. Anyway my fitness routine has been interrupted by reading this interesting Blog. Bad blogger.
7 August, 2012
The thinnest I've ever been was a 2 month gap between full time jobs. Fitness is fun for me…if I didn't have lupus, I'd probably be a lady bodybuilder because I LOVE it.
While that's true, I don't have time for being a bodybuilder BUT it doesn't matter cos it's about 85% what you eat, not the working out (whether you're a bodybuilder or somebody who only walks to the busstop).
I never thought about calling somebody fat — I've had too many feelings of not being fit enough my entire life to do that but one thing that shocked me several years ago was the "taking it back" fad of fat people calling themselves "fat," PROUDLY. The truth is you can be very strong and have wonderful cardio-pulmonary levels and weight 350lb (as a woman). I've known women who did/ do! I wish it were easy enough to use words that are simply descriptive and not derogatory. I do not feel okay calling somebody fat, even if they LIKE being called that. I suppose because I don't want to be called it (having been called it).
7 August, 2012
I love your perspective. This really helps, setting a new goal of healthier than right now and feeling good to let some of the 'fat' issues go.
14 August, 2012
Lovely post- and I COMPLETELY agree with you on the importance of being FIT. It's not about being skinny, it's about being strong. And my friend, you sound like you are very strong!

Jenna Dewan Cast as Adam Levine's Lover in Season 2 of American Horror Story07/27/2012
American Horror Story Casting News: Jenna Dewan Joins Season 2 as Adam Levine's 'Lover'
According to TVLine's Kimberly Roots, Jenna Dewan is joining the cast of American Horror Story for season 2. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on Dewan's role:
The FX drama has added Step Up ingénue Jenna Dewan to play opposite Maroon 5 lead singer/The Voice judge Adam Levine, EW.com reports. The pair will portray The Lovers, a couple central to the show's second season.
As previously reported, Season 2 of the Emmy-nominated series will take place in a 1960s insane asylum on the East Coast. Jessica Lange will play a nun who's in charge of the facility, and her Season 1 castmates Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and Lily Rabe will return to portray completely new characters, as well.
My thoughts: I've seen Jenna Dewan on some other TV shows, and I liked her on those shows. The fact that Adam Levine will be a part of the cast for season 2 of American Horror Story has really intrigued me based on what I've heard about his character, so the fact that Jenna Dewan's character will be involved with Adam Levine's is very exciting to me. I'm also excited about the whole cast for season 2 in general though. Season 2 of American Horror Story can't start fast enough for my taste.

The Second Great European War
The Second Great European War, also known as the War of 1940, was a conflict between some of the major European powers. The war lasted for four years, beginning on September 5th, 1940, and ending on January 8th, 1944. It was the deadliest European conflict up until that point in history, with over forty million casualties; twenty-five million killed and fifteen million wounded, missing, or captured. The war officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Brussels. The consequences of the war were a direct cause of the next major European conflict, the Third Great European War.
After the First Great European War, the nations of Europe wanted to avoid another catastrophic war. The Order of Europe was set up in Paris in the aftermath of the war as a place where European leaders could meet to solve problems diplomatically. However, the council had virtually no enforcement power and only a handful of leaders utilized the institution. Despite the entanglements during the war, many European powers continued to make alliances. Huge fortifications were built in France and Denmark in an effort to fend off a potential German attack. Germany, the most devastated nation after the war, set up a new government in the wake of the escape of Friedrich Hienden. Franz Schiffer, the newly elected chancellor of Germany, wanted to reinvigorate his nation and sought allies. Due to Austria-Hungary's weakened status, Schiffer sought an alliance with Fernando Diaz of Spain. Spain had remained neutral during the war for it had been struggling with a withering military and economy. Diaz rose to power shortly after the war and set up an authoritarian regime. Diaz wished to regain Spain's former glory and believed his interests matched with Schiffer's. Diaz strong-armed the Portuguese government to join a triple alliance of Germany, Spain, and Portugal.
France was also devastated after the war and sought support from its reluctant ally, Great Britain. France and Great Britain formed a mutual alliance. Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands all eventually joined with France and Great Britain to form an alliance consisting of the former Western Powers. Russia, which had remained neutral during the war, had been suffering from internal strife. The communist revolution had failed and left the country politically distraught. To seek some support, Russia sought an alliance with Austria-Hungary. Austria-Hungary had lost most of its power after the war and believed an alliance with Russia would garner well-needed support. Austria-Hungary had been negotiating an alliance with Italy after the war and offered Italy territory if it were to join its alliance with Russia. Italy, which had been struggling politically and economically since its unification in 1871, accepted the deal. These alliances would make up the major players of the war. In the picture above, the Western Powers are green and include France, Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Norway. The Eastern Powers are yellow and include Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. The Central Powers are red and include Germany, Spain, and Portugal.
On September 3rd, 1940, Franz Schiffer sent a telegraph to Fernando Diaz. Schiffer wanted to regain the resource-rich territory France obtained after the war. He offered French lands to Spain in return for military support. Diaz accepted and both sides began to mobilize for an offensive. However, the French intercepted the telegram. Outraged and fearful, France appealed to its allies for support. Great Britain stated it would only help France if it was invaded. However, Belgium and Luxembourg began to mobilize out of fear of another German invasion. On September 5th, 1940, Schiffer and Diaz ordered a German, Spanish, and Portuguese assault on France.
Progress of the war
The tense peace following the First Great European War was destroyed as Europe was plunged into another war. Spanish and Portuguese forces attacked southern France while German forces invaded Belgium and Luxembourg. France, Belgium, and Luxembourg declared war on the Central Powers, followed by their ally, the Netherlands. Great Britain, living up to its promise, also declared war on the Central Powers and mobilized forces to liberate Belgium and defend France. The Spanish and Portuguese drove farther into France because most of France's defenses were built near the German border. German forces also advanced, but British forces arrived in France just in time. At the Battle of Arras, British and French forces pushed the Germans back. Schiffer, looking for even greater assurance against the Western Powers, sought an alliance with Austria-Hungary. Austria-Hungary, which understood the costs of another war against the Western Powers, refused to form an alliance. Schiffer became outraged and threatened an assault on Austria-Hungary if it did not assist the Central Powers. Austria-Hungary, feeling its sovereignty threatened, declared war on the Central Powers. Russia and Italy followed through with their alliance and declared war on the Central Powers soon after. By 1941, the Eastern Powers had joined the war.
Germany, now on a two-front war, looked to end the battle in France so it could focus on the the Eastern Powers. The Germans launched a massive offensive towards Paris. After winning victories at the Battles of Abbeville and Amiens, German forces were a few hundred miles from Paris. However, the Western Powers dug in and won a decisive victory at the Battle of Beauvais, pushing back the Germans. After this victory, Norway, which was neutral during the previous war despite Denmark's occupation, offered to support the Western Powers. The Norwegian government believed if it joined the Western Powers and won the war, it would be rewarded. In 1941, Norway declared war on the Central Powers and joined the Western Powers. With new forces, the Western Powers divided its forces and switched to the offensive. Forces in eastern France pushed German forces back into Belgium, where remaining Belgian forces attacked the weakened German forces. Forces in southern France began to push back the Spanish and Portuguese. At the Battle of Toulouse, the Western Powers pushed Spanish and Portuguese forces back down into the Iberian Peninsula. The Western Powers would continue to keep the Central Powers out of France for the rest of the war.
Germany, faced with continual defeat by the Western Powers, switched its focus to the Eastern Powers. In late 1942, Germany launched its largest offensive of the war to push back the Eastern Powers. A swift victory at the Battle of Krakow helped German forces push into Russian territory, and victory at the Battle of Vienna would prevent Austro-Hungarian forces from flanking German forces. Despite Germany's huge offensive, Russian forces launched a massive counterattack. At the Battle of Warsaw, the German advance was stopped. The Russian forces hammered the German forces and pushed them back. The defeat at Warsaw, the deadliest battle of the war, severely crippled German forces and forced them back into eastern Germany. Because German forces were beginning to weaken, Austro-Hungarian and Italian forces were able to push German forces back into southern Germany. By 1943, Germany was on the defensive.
1943 consisted of continual assaults on Germany's borders. Germany desperately looked for support from its allies. However, the Western Powers pushed farther and farther into Spain. After a victory at the Battle of Zaragoza, the Western Powers approached Madrid. Madrid was surrounded by the Western Powers within days and placed under siege. After weeks of resistance, Madrid finally fell to the Western Powers. Diaz, fearful of being captured, committed suicide when Madrid fell. The temporary Spanish government formally surrendered on October 2nd, 1943. Portugal, now fearful of invasion without Spanish support, formally surrendered a day later. The Western Powers regrouped in Belgium to prepare for an offensive towards Berlin. Meanwhile, the Eastern Powers kept Germany on the defensive. Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces constantly attacked southern Germany while Russian forces prepared for an offensive towards Berlin. German forces tried to push Russian forces back, but all attempts failed. At the Battle of Prague, German forces were destroyed and began to retreat. Russian forces broke through German defenses at the Battle of Dresden, and Austro-Hungarian and Italian forces won a victory at the Battle of Fussen. Meanwhile, the Western Powers won entry into Germany at the Battle of Dusseldorf. Germany, now breached from three sides, used its remaining forces to hold back the other forces. In a last ditch effort, Germany launched a final offensive to push back the Western Powers. However, the offensive was crushed at the Battle of Kassel. On December 1st, 1943, Berlin was placed under siege by the Eastern Powers. After weeks of resistance, Berlin finally fell on January 5th, 1944. Germany, with its capital destroyed, formally surrendered. The war was over with the Western and Eastern Powers emerging victorious.
On January 8th, 1945, European leaders met in Brussels to discuss the treaty. The Western Powers wanted to prevent a military-capable Germany from reemerging ever again. However, the Western Powers also realized that severely punishing a war-torn Germany could lead to yet another war. The Western Powers also wanted to rehabilitate Germany, Spain, and Portugal to ensure a lasting peace. On the other hand, the Eastern Powers wanted to obtain as much territory as possible. The Eastern Powers also wanted to create political and economic stability within their respective nations. While the treaty blamed Germany for the war, it asked for equal reparations among the Central Powers. The treaty also ceded certain German lands to Russia. Large fortifications would be built along Germany's and Spain's borders. Germany's, Spain's, and Portugal's armed forces were downsized. Finally, the treaty established the European League, a diplomatic organization set in Brussels. The league was an improvement on the previous Order of Europe and had much more authority and capability to act as a peace keeper in Europe. Despite the Treaty of Brussels' attempts at peace after the war, the outcomes of the war ultimately set the stage for the next conflict in thirty years, which would be even more devastating.

Petitioning U.S. Congress and 2 others
Decision makers
- U.S. Congress
Stop the Bipartisan Sportsmen bill and Share Act
The SHARE ACT -- Sportsmen's Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act- and its Senate companion, the Bipartisan Sportsmen Act of 2015, is little more than a SPECIAL INTEREST bill. The legislation does little to benefit rank-and-file hunters. What we have here is a special interest bill masquerading as a measure to aid the common hunter. 41 trophy hunters are given special attention in the bill. These 41 hunters would be allowed to import their slaughtered polar bears into the United States from Northern Canada. Having been denied by Congress in 2012, when Senator Young took on their fight, they now are the topic of yet another bill. What have these uber-rich hunters done to currier such favor with our members of Congress? The slaughtered Polar Bears contributed to the endangerment of the species. Why are we rewarding these 41 special men? The legislation will open up millions of acres of public land to trophy hunters and trappers. While California has banned the trapping of bobcats, we now see legislation that seeks to make wider the practice of this barbarity. Millions of animals, including pets, are killed in leg traps every year. Please say "no!" to this barbarity! Even more perplexing is language included in the SHARE Act that would prevent U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services from adopting rules to restrict the illegal ivory trade into the U.S. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH HUNTING AND WHY IS IT EVEN IN THIS BILL? Why are members of Congress aiding the AK-47 wielding poachers that saw the faces off of elephants?! Anyone's guess...Additionally, and most distressingly, the House Bill seeks to take away regulatory authority from the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture to protect the public and wildlife from TOXIC LEAD AMMUNITIONS. The sponsor of this bill, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska should be hanging her head in shame! The co-sponsors of this bill might want to reconsider their stance. PLEASE do NOT allow this morally repugnant misguided piece of legislation to see the light of day. We shall be watching the progress of this bill, and informing our members. PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT this ATROCITY.

The Druid Stone By Keith Parkinson
This page is best viewed with the font Stonehenge.
You open the door to the secluded mansion deep in the woods, and see a tiny dragon waiting to guide you. (Yes, a dragon!) Just as you were starting to wonder why you came inside this mysterious place, the doors close behind you and the little dragon seems to beckon with his tail. Against your better judgement you walk further inside.
The dragon leads you to a meal that looks strange, but smells delicious, on a beautiful mahogany table. The atmosphere curiously invigorates and calms you simultaneously, and you feel yourself becoming comfortable in this mystical place.
There is a myriad of art on the walls and curious books all around the room. You see one book called The Art of Magick, and other rare ones such as: So you want to be a Sorceress, To Love a Dragon, Dream Weaving, and Having a "Mythical" Spirit Guide. You quickly realize that this is not the dwelling of the typical person, but someone who has planned out this meeting and prepared for you. A lady of power, and you have walked right into it.
You suddenly hear a soft voice, "Sit a spell and rest from your quests. Read some poetry, look at some art, and eat a meal if you wish. Don't let the atmosphere frighten you, you're safe here. My lair is your lair." The velvety voice seems to be coming from the air around you. "I'm sorry that I have to hide myself from you, but I can't always trust strangers...or mortals," she says. "I have changed my surroundings recently. I hope it's even more accommodating to my visitors than before."
Just as you're going to ask some obvious questions, such as: Where am I? Who are you? and Where are you? the voice laughs. "Always so many questions! I am a dragon and a woman....long story... The only thing you really need to know is that I love to entertain guests and like to share my "hoard" with others. Yes, dragons do "hoard" things, and my passion is art and literature. Please go to my gallery and you'll see what I mean."

English Premier League champions Manchester City will join Real Madrid in Melbourne next year as part of the International Champions Cup.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground will host the two footballing superpowers during July, with a third team for the series of three friendly matches yet to be confirmed.
Manchester City have been long rumoured to take part in the event, with Italian Serie A side Inter Milan likely to join them.
The Mancunians already have a stake in the Victorian capital after the club's Abu Dhabi-based owners purchased and re-branded Melbourne Heart as Melbourne City.

Yahoo! announced a geo-targeting system to let you target users at country, city or ZIP code level for its search ad placement. This new tool will enable search ad campaign managers to fine tune their search campaigns by selecting specific areas that their ads are aiming to reach. Yahoo! tells "Geo-targeting is a clever little feature that can analyze a user's search query, their Internet Protocol (IP) address and other user information to determine where they are and what ads to serve to them."
The new geo-targeting option is available now to all Yahoo Sponsored Search advertisers under the "Campaigns >> Campaign Settings" tab in your account. "ZIP/Postal Code" has been added as one of the drop-down menu options on the "Target By:" field.
You can also opt not to use geo-targeting by de-selecting all geo-targeting settings within your account, and your ads will be eligible for display to the entire U.S./Canada market. This may work for those who will ship products anywhere or who want to utilize the ability to get their brand name in front of as many users as possible.

Im 21 years old and I've was with the same guy since i was 18 . He is the only guy i have ever been with in any way. When i turned 19 me and his broke up and he immediately hopped into another relationship. Me and the girl were complete opposites im on the short side and curvy and going to school to be a doctor. she's tall and is a model , During our break up i was not only insecure but heartbroken to say the least. She ended up cheating on him and treating him poorly in the long run. Me and him did not speak for an entire year i blocked him and kept my distance. The year into our break up he called my house phone repeatedly telling me what a horrible mistake he had made and how he was sorry and how he was immature and that he would do anything under the sun to get a good women back. Through time he slowly earned my trust back and today we've been back together for 4 months i had no complaints up until NOW.. He recently liked 3 of her instagram pictures.. Which im not going to lie made me feel a bit insecure due to the fact she STILL loves him and wants to be back with him and it made me also wonder if it meant more than "Just a like" . Am i overreacting? Or should i actually be concerned?
Guys, NEED A GUYS ADVICE PLEASE ?
What Guys Said 2
no i think your feelings are legit and i would be concerned to. it's one thing to just like a person's pictures but you have to wonder what he's thinking about when it's a girl he essentially dumped you for.
like is he truly over her?
does he still have feelings for her?
if she came back in the picture would he jump back to her?11|00|0
Thank you so much for understanding its been eating me alive in a way i want to address it but i dont know how and suggestions on how i should bring it up? And it all honestly makes me concerned and not trust him at all...
- Show AllShow Less
Thank you thats totally a perfect way to bring that up im a little scared of an argument starting but it needs to be addressed id really feel like a fool if it progresses into something more right under my nose
it could lead to an argument but i do agree that i think it needs to be addressed.
She might take him back just as you did but at least you didn't cheat on him so I don't know why he would trust her again and that would be dumb leaving you again but I would be bothered by him giving likes to someone he was with before , maybe he hasn't learned his lesson yet11|00|0
Thank you so much and yes i agree with you and it totally does bother me a lot
Well I hope he sees the good person you are

Last night my boyfriend and I were heading home from our day out we were in the back seat of the car (we're only 14 we can't drive) it was dark and we were holding hands and then he put his hand on my thigh and started rubbing and he squizzed my thigh. I wasn't uncomfortable but he has done this before when we were at the movies. I was just wondering if it meant anything. I mean honestly it kinda turned me on. Thanks!!

Earth Hour was a great experience not only for the students but also for Bradford University Union! It came as a great surprise to win the WWF competition, and after that the whole hard work started. For one month we looked at every detail to make Earth Hour memorable for our students and to motivate them to get engaged in climate action.
We organised two events, so everyone could take part in and celebrate this moment. We started on the 24th March with a switch off event in our Students' Union Sports Bar, where we had live music, a sustainability quiz, prizes, candles...and photo session with Pedro the panda! Then on the 25th March we celebrated Earth Hour along the other global events…we had a 'candlelit live music' event in the students' accommodation on campus. The weather was just perfect for this event and we tried to convince students to come down and join us! It was a great evening with live music, candles, sweets, tea…and pizza!
After this unique experience we are determined to get more students aware of climate action and how each of us can make an impact!

Have you submitted your tax return? Wondering where your refund is? This board is the place to find helpful links to understand the return process and how to use the IRS Where's My Refund tool. If you have a question about how to submit your taxes, please be sure to post general questions in All Things Tax and DIY questions in DIY Products.
I E-filed on 3-27. Both my Federal and State returns were submitted, I got the H&R email stating as much. I went back on the H&R website to verify the status, and it was, and still is, PENDING. The H&R website still states the IRS will process my return within 24-48 hours. It's been almost two weeks. It's never taken this long for the IRS and FTB to accept the returns.
10 minutes after I got the E-Mails from H&R mentioned above, I got two identical emails, also apparently from H&R, with this text:
Dear, Giesterfarher. (Not my real name...)
At H&R Block, we take privacy and data security seriously. Because of our commitment to protect your personal information, we need to speak to you before we continue processing your return.
Please give us a call at 877-844-0529, Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT, and Saturday-Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT.
Thank you for choosing H&R Block. We appreciate your business.
I suspected a Phishing scam, so I did not call. Should I have?
Thanks for your time.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Welcome to the Community. Did you file online or with software or in an H&R Block office?
I filed online, using H&R Blocks website. Same as I have been for 8 years. I'm more curious about the email I get 10 minutes afetr I filed than anything else. Was that sent from H&R block or not? I don't see that phone number listed anywhere here, and I'm not going to call a number that I was sent via email unless I'm sure.
This is a legitimate email and you should call the number.
04-17-2017 11:05 AM - edited 04-17-2017 11:08 AM
This is just wrong, When you file your return online on HR block, the site tells you that it transmitted your tax return but then some time after that they send you a message to verify your information, for all I knew my tax return was transmitted but I was concerned with the email that I didn't see until the next day so I called and yes, they say they didn't really release my tax return because they needed to verify my identity. Verifying my identity is perfectly fine, the BIG problem here is that the site makes you believe you are done and you just have to wait for it to be approved in 24 to 48 hours, I can only imagine a class action. This is going to happen for all those that file at the last minute and they find out the next day that HR block didn't really transmitted it because they were waiting to verify your identity, it is time to stop using HR block.

Jellyfish swarm northward in warming world
"The fishermen leaned into the nets, grunting and grumbling as they tossed the translucent jellyfish back into the bay, giants weighing up to 200 kilograms (450 pounds), marine invaders that are putting the men's livelihoods at risk.
The venom of the Nomura, the world's largest jellyfish, a creature up to 2 meters (6 feet) in diameter, can ruin a whole day's catch by tainting or killing fish stung when ensnared with them in the maze of nets here in northwest Japan's Wakasa Bay.
"Some fishermen have just stopped fishing," said Taiichiro Hamano, 67. "When you pull in the nets and see jellyfish, you get depressed."
This year's jellyfish swarm is one of the worst he has seen, Hamano said. Once considered a rarity occurring every 40 years, they are now an almost annual occurrence along several thousand kilometers (miles) of Japanese coast, and far beyond Japan.
Scientists believe climate change -- the warming of oceans -- has allowed some of the almost 2,000 jellyfish species to expand their ranges, appear earlier in the year and increase overall numbers, much as warming has helped ticks, bark beetles and other pests to spread to new latitudes.
The gelatinous seaborne creatures are blamed for decimating fishing industries in the Bering and Black seas, forcing the shutdown of seaside power and desalination plants in Japan, the Middle East and Africa, and terrorizing beachgoers worldwide, the U.S. National Science Foundation says.
A 2008 foundation study cited research estimating that people are stung 500,000 times every year -- sometimes multiple times -- in Chesapeake Bay on the U.S. East Coast, and 20 to 40 die each year in the Philippines from jellyfish stings.
In 2007, a salmon farm in Northern Ireland lost its more than 100,000 fish to an attack by the mauve stinger, a jellyfish normally known for stinging bathers in warm Mediterranean waters. Scientists cite its migration to colder Irish seas as evidence of global warming.
Increasingly polluted waters -- off China, for example -- boost growth of the microscopic plankton that "jellies" feed upon, while overfishing has eliminated many of the jellyfish's predators and cut down on competitors for plankton feed.
"These increases in jellyfish should be a warning sign that our oceans are stressed and unhealthy," said Lucas Brotz, a University of British Columbia researcher. "
The invasions cost the industry up to 30 billion yen ($332 million) a year, and tens of thousands of fishermen have sought government compensation, said scientist Shin-ichi Uye, Japan's leading expert on the problem.
Uye has concluded China's coastal waters offered a perfect breeding ground: Agricultural and sewage runoff are spurring plankton growth, and fish catches are declining. The waters of the Yellow Sea, meanwhile, have warmed as much as 1.7 degrees C (3 degrees F) over the past quarter-century.
"The jellyfish are becoming more and more dominant," said Uye, as he sliced off samples of dead jellyfish on the deck of an Echizen fishing boat. "Their growth rates are quite amazing."
The slight, bespectacled scientist is unafraid of controversy, having lobbied his government tirelessly to help the fishermen, and angered Chinese colleagues by arguing their government must help solve the problem, comparing it to the effects of acid rain that reaches Japan from China.
"The Chinese people say they will think about this after they get rich, but it might be too late by then," he said.
A U.S. marine scientist, Jennifer Purcell of Western Washington University, has found a correlation between warming and jellyfish on a much larger scale, in at least 11 locations, including the Mediterranean and North seas, and Chesapeake and Narragansett bays.
"It's hard to deny that there is an effect from warming," Purcell said. "There keeps coming up again and again examples of jellyfish populations being high when it's warmer." Some tropical species, on the other hand, appear to decline when water temperatures rise too high.

Thoughts worth thinking about
Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every woman and man present their views without penalty, there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.- Albert Einstein Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. - Leo Buscaglia
A person's true wealth is the good he or she does in the world. - Mohammed
Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty. -Albert Einstein
The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others. - Ghandi
The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves. - Helen Keller
Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person. - Dr. David M. Burns
Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures. -His Holiness The Dalai Lama
Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it. -
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them. That's the essence of inhumanity. -George Bernard Shaw
Ego's trick is to make us lose sight of our interdependence. That kind of ego-thought gives us a perfect justification to look out only for ourselves. But that is far from the truth. In reality we all depend on each other and we have to help each other. The husband has to help his wife, the wife has to help the husband, the mother has to help her children, and the children are supposed to help the parents too, whether they want to or not.-Gehlek Rinpoche Source: "The Best Buddhist Writing 2005 pg. 165
The hostile attitude of conquering nature ignores the basic interdependence of all things and events---that the world beyond the skin is actually an extension of our own bodies---and will end in destroying the very environment from which we emerge and upon which our whole life depends.
Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others. Nor is it so remarkable that our greatest joy should come when we are motivated by concern for others. But that is not all. We find that not only do altruistic actions bring about happiness but they also lessen our experience of suffering. Here I am not suggesting that the individual whose actions are motivated by the wish to bring others' happiness necessarily meets with less misfortune than the one who does not. Sickness, old age, mishaps of one sort or another are the same for us all. But the sufferings which undermine our internal peace -- anxiety, doubt, disappointment -- these things are definitely less. In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. When we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense.What does this tell us? Firstly, because our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others' happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do not harm others. Secondly, it tells us that genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others' happiness. Dalai Lama.
"We can judge the heart of a (hu)man by his or her treatment of animals."-Kant"I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights - that is the way of the whole human being!" (Abraham Lincoln "Complete Works")
"It's not that humans and non-humans are identical... but the lack of understanding that led to the slave trade is the same lack of understanding many people have about animals today. When slaves were brought over from Africa, many people believed they were not humans, that they didn't have feelings. Many people believe that primates and other animals don't have feelings, too, but they do."- Jane Goodall
"Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."-
"Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity."- Vincent van Gogh
"The only way in which one can make endurable man's inhumanity to man, and man's destruction of his own environment, is to exemplify in your own lives man's humanity to man and man's reverence for the place in which he lives".- Alan Paton
I think I could turn and live with the animals. They are so placid and self-contained. They do not sweat and whine about their condition. Not one is dissatisfied. Not one is demented with the mania of owning things. Not one is disrespectful or unhappy over the world. - Walt Whitman"

Pre-Demolition Engineering Survey
Product ID: 702203
- Duration: 60 Min
Customer Care
Fax: +1-650-565-8542
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
This webinar will help you understand OSHA's requirement for a pre-demolition engineering survey, including what documents to have in place, for renovation and complete demolition of buildings/structures.
Why Should You Attend:
Due to the significant number of fatalities, injuries, fires, spills/releases, and "near misses" in construction/demolition activities OSHA requires an engineering survey to be made by a "competent person". That person may be a professional engineer (PE), certified safety professional with demolition experience, or a demolition contractor employee with adequate experience and communication/writing skills. The survey may be brief for small structures or extensive for large facilities.
Many construction projects involve the complete removal of all buildings and structures prior to constructing a building, especially in developed areas. Many commercial structures that are far from being condemned are simply demolished to replace it with a more modern and attractive building. Some buildings less than a decade old such as a convenience store, with no visible or suspected integrity issues are demolished and require at least a very brief engineering survey.
This webinar will help you understand OSHA's requirement for a pre-demolition engineering survey for renovation and complete demolition of buildings/structures.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand OSHA's subpart T.
- Know what documents to have in place.
- Reduce risk of unplanned collapses and injuries.
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
- Photographs and descriptions of the structures and what to include in the descriptions.
- Assess and quantify environmental hazards such as asbestos, lead paint, dielectric fluids transformers, capacitors, lubricants and oil filled equipment, etc. that may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury switches, battery packs, drums, tanks, laboratory supplies, etc. that are required to be removed – a Phase One Environmental Assessment Survey (ASTM) needs to be performed to identify a sampling plan
- Phase Two Environmental Assessment that involves the sampling to characterize suspect contaminants.
- Phase Three Environmental Assessment that involves the removal of the contaminants in preparation of the demolition.
- Isolate and assure all power utilities or any potential energy sources are isolated or discharged as in the cases of capacitors.
- Both demolition and construction contract bidders usually have to access the areas to take measurements and develop work plans in preparation to bid or perform work.
- Demolition contractor employees may have to access structures to attach wire cables and make preliminary cuts in order "pull away" structures without destroying the integrity of the remaining portion of the structure. The use of mechanical means (shears and grapplers) are safest but are not always practical alone to remove portions of buildings without destroying or weakening the remaining portion to be saved.
Who Will Benefit:
This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all construction and demolition companies/ manufacturing sites with renovations. Those that would benefit most would be:
- Construction contractors
- Demolition contractors
- Engineering companies
- Environmental remediation companies
