Whenever an individual gets seriously ill or becomes injured, they may seek emergency care, or receive immediate life-sustaining treatment. Later on at some point in the future, they are left to take care of themselves to finalize that healing process.
At the time these patients are discharged from their medical treatment, they have gradually shifted into a zone where they may no longer be sick, but are still not as healthy as they were before they became ill. This zone, between illness and good health, is where rehabilitation specialists focus.
Some call this the "Healing Zone" It is the place where health care professional are most concerned with physical and emotional healing after an injury or illness.
Our bodies are amazing in their capacity to heal, however, most people can be taught how to heal much better, physically as well as emotionally.

Did Vietnam stock market avoid the "contagion risk" from China and the U.S.? The contagion effect test with dynamic correlation coefficients
This paper examines the Vietnamese stock market with an extension of the recent investigation of risk contagion effects. Daily data spanning October 9, 2006–June 19, 2009 are sourced for the empirical validation of the risk contagion between the stock markets in Vietnam, China, and the U.S. To facilitate the validation of contagion effects with market related coefficients, this paper constructs a bivariable EGARCH model of dynamic condition correlation coefficients. First, we examine whether there are contagion effects when there is a financial crisis in the Vietnamese stock market. Next, we verify whether the contagion risk triggered by the crisis can affect the Vietnamese market and examine which market influences the Vietnamese market the most. We find that compared to the U.S. stock market, the Chinese stock market brings more contagion risk to the Vietnamese market, and these effects gain more significance after the sub-prime mortgage crisis.

Beaches. Coffee. Weddings. Murder?
Is it possible to move on after a troubled past? Or will the past always catch up with you and ruin you in more ways than you can handle?
After having to deal with the deaths of her old friends, Annabeth and Matthew, Emmy is asked to be the wedding coordinator of a certain Scarlet Levi. She wants the wedding to be held at the Sky Valley Resort, where Beaches and Coffee, the coffee shop that Emmy's family owns, is located. Beaches and Coffee is popular for its ambience and tranquility - things that a lot of people want.
Emmy is hesitant, but she knows she can't let the opportunity pass because it will help their business recover, and it will finally help them move on with their lives. Plus, she also feels good because her relationship with Daniel, the man who has her heart, is growing.
Everything seems to be perfect. But there's a catch, of course, there's a catch: Scarlet Levi is not who Emmy thinks she is. And as the day of the wedding approaches, Emmy will get to know a couple of things that will make a big impact on her life - and on the lives of the people around her.
Set in the picturesque town of Sky Valley, Georgia, Beaches and Coffee is the second installment in the Sky Valley Mysteries Series.
Will Emmy finally be able to live the life she wants? Will she be able to forget the past and live in the present with ease? Or are there hidden dangers lurking beneath the beautiful facade of Sky Valley?
And more so, will she be able to make the right decisions? Or will she let life decide for her?

Four OF WANDS DETAILED MEANINGCompletion
On my Four of Wands, through the Wands a Castle & Bridge are visible on the opposite river bank. A Garland held in place with bows indicates celebration & success in an undertaking.
The Four of Wands - The Harvest home . Take time to enjoy the benefits of your exertions, spend some ' me' time, best laid plans & the completion of a project can be hindered by you not allowing yourself time to fully recuperate from your exertions. You are at a very innovative phase, you present a professional front. You are entering a transitional phase, a bridge needs to be crossed, you need to refine a presentation or portfolio. Ideas must be polished & well presented. Romance is possible for the unattached through an unexpected meeting. You should spend time expanding your consciousness, reading & cultural pursuits will enhance your social life. You are attractive & gregarious now, visits to any form of entertainment venue will be worthwhile but should be tempered by an interest in developing a comfortable home enviroment in which you can relax & truly be yourself. When you work together on a common goal, it will create more than the sum of its parts.The Four of Wands suggests a community effort that is more complete, and with more potential, than anything the individuals had envisioned on their own. A communal spirit is forming, and the consequences of your sober and important endeavor will have very far reaching effects. What phase of your life is set to be completed ?

Trump is also expected to order the escalation of US operations against Daesh in Iraq and Syria.
President Donald Trump signed an order on Friday to begin what he called a "great rebuilding" of the US armed services, promising new aircraft, naval ships and more resources for the military.
"Our military strength will be questioned by no one, but neither will our dedication to peace. We do want peace," Trump said in a ceremony at the Pentagon.
Trump predicted that Congress, which sets the expenditures for the government, will "be very happy to see" the White House's new spending request for the military.
Trump made clear during last year's presidential campaign and in recent weeks that he wants to enlarge the ranks of the military services and expand its fleets of aircraft and ships.
For example, he said he envisioned a naval fleet of 350 vessels, up from the navy's current 274 and more than its 310-vessel target.
He is also expected to order his new defense secretary, James Mattis, to intensify operations against Daesh in Iraq and Syria with more US soldiers and military hardware like artillery and attack helicopters.
Another expected move is to review and to strengthen US ability to defend itself against cyber attacks and to conduct offensive cyber attacks itself.
The order Trump signed on Friday was less specific, calling for a sweeping 30-day readiness review of the US military, with the aim of preparing new budget requests to improve readiness.
But he has also pressured the Pentagon to cut costs on some of its most expensive programmes.
Congratulations to James Mattis, our 26th Secretary of Defense. Welcome, sir!#SecDef pic.twitter.com/XJpA2OnTa0— U.S. Dept of Defense (@DeptofDefense) January 21, 2017
Trump signed the new order at a ceremonial swearing-in of Mattis as defense secretary, lavishing praise on the retired Marine general.
"Secretary Mattis has devoted his life to serving his country. He is a man of honour, a man of devotion, and a man of total action. He likes action," Trump said.

The Internet is awesome for many a reason, but it is especially cool due to the fact that we get to relish in other people's epic failures. Yes, Bob Saget and his America's Funniest Home Videos pretty much pioneered that idea, but the Internet and it's fail video following is now so big that even Bob in all of his awesomeness just doesn't compare. This morning, as folks pick up their pre-ordered iPhone 6's around the globe, we have our first iPhone 6 fail video straight out of Perth, Australia. While all of us here in America expected a kangaroo kicked it out of this guy's arms – sorry, Australian SQ Nation, it was too easy – the guy was just a retard when he opened the box. Thankfully, it was in front of the entire line of iPhone 6 customers waiting outside of the store – oh, and the fact that it was on live TV was pretty cool too!
I'm not going to beat around the notional bush here: I like soccer, and I would love to attend an actual football game with 100,000+ other screaming, drunk fans at some point in my life across the pond, but I don't follow the European leagues or the MLS here in the States. Don't get me wrong: soccer is an awesome game, and I even played it basically all throughout high school, but basketball is my favorite sport. That being said, if I were a SportsCenter news anchor, I would have at least made sure I knew what the heck I was about to be talking about on national television, something this fail-worthy anchor completely, well, failed to do.
If you've seen the latest Disney animated movie "Frozen", then you most likely have heard the Oscar Award winning song "Let It Go". If you're that guy/gal that's jamming out to it on the freeway on your way to work every morning, then that's a different story; we recommend you find help on that little issue as soon as possible. Anyway, this epic fail video will definitely entertain you whether you've seen Frozen or not, because it is just plain awesome. I don't want to spoil it, so just watch it – as in right now.
Okay, so the post title for this video may have been slightly misleading, but you won't be disappointed. Apparently America is not the only country with pyros, as I can confirm that Poland officially has at least four. Well, maybe only two if that one guy didn't survive the back blast. More thoughts after the jump!
Advertising vs reality: we've all experienced it, whether it was that glistening new cheeseburger you saw on that Sonic commercial last night, only to get a flat, depressing sandwich shoved in a bag by some pimpled kid on roller skates, or that new laptop with a supposed 12 hours of battery life, which promptly succumbs just two hours after you proudly unplugged it. While false advertising is legitimately illegal, there are obviously ways of stretching the truth, from miles and miles of -50 sized white font at the bottom of car commercials, or having 50 million ways to interpret the definition of "all natural" on those granola bars you bought this weekend – companies know it, and so do we, the consumers. Some consumers however pick up on this fact earlier than others, and in this toddler's case, he's already raising the bullshit flag.
Trojan condoms are easily the most recognized, and according to CompaniesandMarkets Trojan dominates [US condom market share] with 69% of sales. (Source) No, you immature bastards, that is the actual, estimated market share percentage – calm yourselves. But could they do any better – after all, there is still 31% of the market potentially available for the taking from the likes of Durex, the next biggest player? Of course they could, and that's likely what every Trojan senior executive has and should have been pushing for, but have they ever done an objective analysis on their own brand name – Trojan Condoms? The good news is that someone already has – hit the link below for the full brand name analysis (and a laugh).
You've probably been where this guy is at: you've been day-drinking, you're hammered drunk, and you're just trying to walk home from the bar so you can take a power nap before you head back out later on that night. Where this guy went wrong however is that he decided to test out a shortcut, only to find a giant steel fence that blocked his drunken path. While I just made most of that up, this is an absolute awesome funny video, and it's actually appropriately named – "The Futility of Existence". If this wasn't staged, then the camera man/woman just happened to be in the right place at the right time to catch this drunk, fat guy fail consistently at every idea he has to try and scale or squeeze through the fence. Bottom line: make sure you watch this all the way through as the end is stellar!
Family Feud > The Price is Right. Family Feud > Any other game show, with the exception of Video Power, combined. If you don't remember Video Power, then you're not old enough to fancy this website. From Pat Sajak to Steve Harvey, and even Louis Anderson in between, enjoy this absolutely stellar fail compilation video from some epic episodes of the greatest game show ever created, Family Feud. Survey Says?
America loves their Fail videos, and this ultimate exercise ball fail compilation video ranks right up there with the best of them. The only thing that's missing is Bob Sagat and his goofy America's Funniest Home Videos voices; the awesome 80's music is already in this one! The first qualified user to correctly name the soundtrack song via the comments will win a …

text: I have been quietly modelling away on my offbeat army and my counts-as Slann (very Quetzalcoatl inspired) is nearing completion. I have noticed that most of the local play is Matched Play and I do not want that Slann to be annoyingly dead weight in the list. So I have been thinking about how to make it at least fun to play, to put this in context I am not intending to get highly competitive with AoS at all I just want to avoid that feel-bad of putting expensive worthless things on the table. So my thought is to use the Slann primarily as a way to include responsive flexibility into my list with a moderate amount of summoning. The core list will have the bulk of numbers (Skinks) to try to bubble-wrap my Slann and some general utility units but some of the more specialized stuff I will leave out to see what I am facing and then summon it in. e.g. if my opponent is lacking in mortal wounds I can summon in some Saurus Guard, whereas if they have lots of mortal wounds I bring in stuff with more wounds per unit cost that can try to flood them with bodies. Then with the placement of summoned models I can counter the only moderate mobility of most of my stuff. Has anyone tried this approach and how well does it work? Any tricks for keeping that expensive Slann alive long enough to get value out of the points set aside to be summoned?

PSNI blitz on burglary suspects leads to 42 charges
Police arrested almost 70 burglary suspects in a month-long crackdown against those believed to be involved in breaking into homes and business in Northern Ireland.
As well as the 68 detained on suspicion of burglary during the operation, 42 others were held on suspicion of committing other offences.
A total of 42 charges were brought against arrested individuals, with seven others reported to the Public Prosecution Service.
The PSNI said domestic burglary rates during the period of the operation fell by 15%, to 460 from 540 recorded in the same time frame last year.
The number of domestic burglaries affecting people over 60 years of age dropped by 29% from 147 last year to 104 this year.
However, the decrease comes in the context of rising domestic burglary rates across the last year.
The number of domestic burglaries for the period April 1 2015 to the end of February 2016 is provisionally recorded as 5,988 - a 2.6% increase on the same period the previous year.
Rates of non domestic burglaries have fallen by 3.3%, from 3,091 the previous year to 2,989 during the period April 1 2015 to the end of February 2016.
Overall, there were 8,977 burglaries, at both domestic and business premises, during that period, an increase of 0.5% on the same period the previous year.
More than 170 searches were carried out in Operation Cordella, from February 15 to March 13.
Superintendent Simon Walls, PSNI lead for burglary, said: "Our enforcement activity has reduced the incidence of burglaries but we are not complacent.
"We have worked to focus our resources on locations and individuals and to raise awareness in communities about how people can prevent themselves from becoming victims of crime and keep their property safe," he added.
"As we've said before, burglaries are a violation of the things people hold most dear."

Like no record before or since, Gentlemen is fraught with the psychological warfare, bedroom drama, Catholic guilt, reprehensible deception, and shame that coincide with relationships gone seriously wrong. Its seemingly thick skin is rife with argument, infection, claustrophobia, temptation, accusation, illness, addiction, blood, scourge, and spite. And then there's the music. Singer Greg Dulli's liquor-cabinet confessions are chased with some of the blackest-sounding rock ever committed to tape by a white band. Hopped-up on primal energy, the mesmerizing R&B, funk, slide-blues, garage, and chamber-pop strains are tied to a come-hither soulfulness perfumed with hyssop and stained with nicotine.
To this day, Gentlemen remains as cursed as its controversial narrator, an album out of time even in its time. Released in October 1993, when grunge ruled the world, it sold far less than works by most "alternative" bands of the day. Despite glowing reviews and feverish tour support, Gentlemen faded from view--and yet it remains dearly beloved to almost everyone who's heard it.
Drawing on new, in-depth interviews with all of the band members, Bob Gendron dissects the record's charisma, arrangements and lyrics. He also delves into the memories, histories, experiences and influences of the Afghan Whigs, most notably those driving Dulli, a polarizing frontman whose fierce pretentiousness, GQ appearance and gloves-off boisterousness concealed deep-rooted mental depression and chemical dependency.
This is an especially entertaining nonfiction book from the series 33 1/3, in which Bob Gendron writes about the album Gentlemen, by the Afghan Whigs. The audiobook explores the band's controversial history - adored by some, hated by others - and their relatively obscurity today, except to loyal fans. How did this happen after such amazing initial success? Using interviews with band member as well as his own insightful input on narrative, lyrics, and musicianship, Gendron brings new eyes and a fascinating perspective to this high-energy, high drama album. The narration is done by David Marantz, in whose drawling voice listeners will detect an honest enjoyment of the book's subject matter.

Gendron's write up takes an under-rated album and turns it into a great listening experience. Duli comes alive in this story and his supporting crew all have their characters accurately conveyed in this well-researched narrative.
For those of you who like the 33 and 1/3 Series stories that actually are about the artists instead of the writer, this is your book.
I always thought that Black Love was the Whig's best album. I owned and listened to Gentlemen but was unconvinced of it being genius. Until this audiobook.
Now I see it differently. Through interviews and media reports, Gendron puts you in the mind's of Duli and the rest of the band.

Have stayed in Aix for a week before and loved the town. (Although we were there when Princess Di was killed, to give you an idea of how long ago that was). Last time we stayed at Hotel des Austines and really liked it except that there are NO showers there, only big bathtubs which we aren't crazy about. Also some reviews suggest there is a serious need for cleaning or refurbishing.
The nicest looking hotel rooms seem to be the Renaissance, and although on a map it looks close, it seems by memory that that area to the Cours is not very "walking friendly". Can anyone confirm or refute that? How long of a walk is it, and is it all sidewalks and easily walkable?
For such a lovely town, it seems most places are really pretty "run down" or they are incredibly expensive places way out somewhere. We want to walk in and out of our hotel a lot.

Hotels in Aix-en-Provence?
Have stayed in Aix for a week before and loved the town. (Although we were there when Princess Di was killed, to give you an idea of how long ago that was). Last time we stayed at Hotel des Austines and really liked it except that there are NO showers there, only big bathtubs which we aren't crazy about. Also some reviews suggest there is a serious need for cleaning or refurbishing.

I stayed here about 20 years ago when it was locally owned:
From the photos, the decor looks much more, well, garish than it did then. We were there not too long after it had opened--the owners who did the initial rennovation had done a beautiful job.
I'm almost positive our room had a huge tub but no shower. All the rooms were different so some may have showers.
I loved the location which was at the top of the town. I remember an easy walk down to the cours but also remember a taxi back! Despite the OTT decor, I would stay there again, if I could find a good offer.

Is that the Marriott on Avenue Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? I was just in Aix and that looks walkable to me, if perhaps further than I would choose. The Ave des Belges is fine. I gave up on hotels in Aix and did my first AirBnB, very nice room but up far too many stairs!
Report Abuse
I have been very happy over the years at the Saint Christophe.
http://iphone.hotel-saintchristophe.fre.Great location near the Rotunda Fountain
and an easy walk from bus and train station (not TGV ( of course).Outdoor terrace bar is nice for meals or just a coffee and the showers are wonderful.
Report Abuse
I agree there are not a lot of great hotels in Aix. It really is a small town, after all.
I stayed in a country inn on the outskirts the second time and in a funky 2* hotel the first time which was in town. I liked it but think it may not be what you had in mind (and it did have only tubs).
The Renaissance is fairly far from the center IMO, I wouldn't choose it with the idea of walking to/from a lot at night. There is a major street there, also. But it's about 1 km in distance, depends what you want.
The closest decent hotels to cours Mirabeau which are renovated and modern, and thus do have stall showers (don't think you'll find them otherwise) are the Hotel de Gantes and the Hotel Cezanne. The Gantes is nice but around $300 a night. The Cezanne more like $225. If you don't mind being near the cathedral, which is near the outdoor market and a nice enough area, just not the cours Mirabeau drag, the Hotel Aquabella is nice with stall showers and is only around $180 a night.
For a big chain hotel, I like Mercure or Accor and they do have the McGallery collection Grand Hotel Roi Rene in Aix which will have stall showers and is about $225 a night, also. It's closer to the cours than the Renaissance, but not as close as the Gantes.

I think you meant you stayed at Hotel des Augustins on Rue de la Masse. Correct?
We stayed there a couple of years ago and the location is absolutely great.
I don't remember the room at all but if it didn't have a shower I surely would remember that. If it is the same hotel then maybe some rooms have showers. If it isn't the same why don't you check it out.

Several years ago, we stayed at Le Pigonnet and were very happy there. Beautiful gardens and very short walk into town. The location is just lovely because it's tucked away out of town, so it's very quiet, but the walk to the Cours Mirabeau is quite short. It was very well run when we were there, but it's been a few years, so you may want to check more recent reviews.
Report Abuse
So many good specifics here. Thanks to all!
msteacher, Le Pigonnet does look nice, and I was surprised you say it is such a short walk. But $400 a night for our dates (four nights) is a bit rich. And Hotel Gantes looks lovely too, but even MORE expensive that that in prime season for their cheapest rooms.
On the other hand Saint Christophe seems, well, just a little TOO sparse and budget.
I think we'll eliminate the Rennaissance as it does sound like a trek from there. I'm trying to remember we walked to something out that way, and it seems it was kind of "dangerous" trying to cross the major street without lights and no sidewalks or something like that.
Myer, I checked with Hotel des Augustins and no -- NO rooms have showers. They have tubs with just a hand held shower thing and no curtains or glass. I remember it was a disaster trying to wash hair and shower, overshadowing the wonderful atmosphere of the hotel and rooms themselves. Just not for us.
The Cezanne now seems to be my first choice. I know our parking for des Augustins was very hear there and I kind of even remember seeing the hotel. Nice location, I think and it does look nice (although the major breakfast buffet is pretty pricey if we do that). But at US $177 a night it seems a real bargain (hotels.com)

It's been a long time since you were in Aix, right? The situation for pedestrians is likely better now, I certainly didn't have a lot of trouble. You could use Google maps to see where the traffic lights are.
Report Abuse
Not just that, but the comments above about distance and convenience seem worthwhile. Not exactly "I think I'll pop out to the Cours and get a coffee" type situation.
Report Abuse
The Cezanne is between the train station and the fontaine de la Rotonde. Very convenient for trains, that's for sure.
The Gantes might be noisy, anyway, being right on Cours Mirabeau and it has that real popular cafe in front.
Report Abuse
I stayed at the Auqabella about 10 years ago and it was nice. Had a pretty view of the room over the rooftops. There's also a great outdoor pool if that interests you.
It was easy walking everywhere from the hotel.
Report Abuse
hmm. Now I've discovered Grand Hotel Roi Rene. Seems a little more "up to date" and refurbished than Cezanne and pretty much the same rates just a little more. Rooms look much smaller, but that's less an issue than other things --like not looking a little tired.
Report Abuse
Hmmm. powhatangal, I had looked at Aquabella and it looks very nice, especially rooms with a balcony and view. They have near by reserved self park for only 12 euros, and decent rates including full breakfast. But on the map it looked quite far. They say it is a 15 minute walk to the train station (we don't care about that but that serves as a guide) which is actually further than the Cours Mirabeau and most of the old town which seems to lie between the Cours and the hotel. So it's actually kind of intriguing.
I read some reviews and even made a call to Accor regarding Grand Hotel Roi Rene, and it gets a little fuzzy. Some say they return to find no parking at all and having to go to a very expensive pay lot elsewhere. And mostly people talk about the rooms REALLY being tiny and cramped, but lovely.
Ah, decisions, decisions. Meanwhile I've got to firm up our itineary -- which I'm having trouble making the decisions on.
Report Abuse
That looks like a bit of a slog from the Aquabella, although google says it's only 800 meters. However, much of it is likely to be uphill going back.
You don't need a car in Aix itself, can you park it on the outskirts or not pick it up until you leave?
Report Abuse
Regarding the car, I'm imagining we'll be driving off into the countryside and returning every day, so having it pretty near to the hotel (not necessarily right at the hotel) is a plus.
I'm kind of leaning on powhatangal here when she says "it was easy walking to everywhere from the hotel". I'm picturing many of the restaurants we liked were up in that whole old city section between the Cours and the Aquabella, so I'm not picturing it being a really big thing. Maybe I'm wrong. Still to decide between it and the Grand Hotel Roi Rene, once I can zero in on our actual itinerary.
We'll be starting with 4 nights in Nice and ending up in Lyon for 2 nights. We want to do 4 nights in Aix. That leaves us another 4 nights somewhere, probably all in one other place. Or we could take a day or two from that 4 and one to either Nice or Lyon or both. We'll be flying Easy Jet from Lyon to Barcelona for the last few days of the trip before flying home from there.

Didn't you ever go to the market and the cathedral when in Aix? That's a nice area. Just thought you'd have an idea then where it was. Good for the market, in any case. I stayed once a couple blocks other side of the Cours, and I agree, there are probably more restaurants, etc. in the direction of the Aquabella. The weekly market is around the city hall which is near there. http://www.aixenprovencetourism.com/a-voir-que-faire/activites-et-loisirs/shopping/les-marches-de-provence/?detail=19107
To be honest, it's about the same distance to Cours Mirabeau as the Renaissance, or almost. I just think the stuff in-between is more interesting.
Report Abuse
Interesting, Christina, the only market I recall in Aix was the entire Cours Mirabeau.
And yes, I noted too that on the map the Aquabella looks about the same distance from the Cours as the Renaissance. But you're right that we'd probably have much closer to us at the Aquabella.
Report Abuse
Neopatrick, walking to the cours Mirabeau, the market, and to restaurants was quite pleasant from the Aquabella. I never thought of it as being far to walk at all. I didn't have a car but the parking option sounds good. Breakfast can be taken on the terrace. I spent a couple of hours one afternoon just relaxing at the pool. Have fun planning!
Report Abuse
Interesting. If I go to Trip Advisor and click on the map for restaurants in Aix, I find the whole cluster of them between the Cours and the Aquabella (which shows as restaurant L'Orangerie). Looking at that it seems it's as close to the "bulk" of restaurants as the Cours is.
Report Abuse
Actually, the better, weekly market is on Saturday at Place Verdun.
Aix-en-Provence 13100 (Bouches-du-Rhône)
Sat (Every) - Brocante, Marché; Place Verdun. Mornings; a big market, one of the best, and our favorite.
Sun (1st) - Brocante books; Place Mairie
Tue (Every) - Brocante, Marché; Place Verdun
Thur (Every) - Brocante, Marché; Place Verdun
The market linked above is more of a daily, local market for fruits and veggies and the like. Not that it isn't a good market, just not the one that most tourists would visit.
Report Abuse
When we were there for a week in 1997, the entire Cours Mirabeau seemed to close every other day and the entire street became a huge market -- or various types. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think they might have been working on the site of Place Verdun so the markets were re-located to the Cours. Just thinking that as much of the city (particularly the old city) was torn up for construction -- new sewers or water pipes or something!
Report Abuse
I never noticed any market on Cours Mirabeau myself, during my stays there. The one near city hall is the official one AFAIK, but it's only food. The cathedral is worth seeing, also. There are a couple museums over there, also, like the city history museum.
Report Abuse
There was a Christmas market getting underway on Cours Mirabeau when I was there at the end of November, but the "real" market was elsewhere.
Report Abuse
Yes, Christina, as I suggested, I'm thinking it was unusual that all those markets were on the Cours, but I think it's because of construction in the old city. I do remember the staff at our hotel complaining about the inconvenience of all those crowds practically outside our hotel day after day and the fact that no one could get to the hotel itself by car because of the markets.

We were in Aix for a week a few years back in late July and during that week there was a wine festival on the Cours Mirabeau on Saturday as well as an art fair thing every evening.

We're in the process of finding a hotel in Aix for September '17 and came across this thread.
NeoPatrick, would you mind telling me where you wound up staying? How was it?
I've reserved at the Roi Rene for many of the same reasons you considered it. We won't have a car so parking is not an issue. Distance from the center and "freshness" of rooms are high on the list however.
Report Abuse
We did stay at the Roi Rene. It was really lovely. The entire hotel seemed to be very recently done with wonderful taste and quality. It's a short stroll to the center of town, and they even told us where we could walk to a laundromat which was great and necessary after 10 days "on the road". Breakfasts were superb. We joined the McGallery collection and got a better rate and I think free breakfast. Our room was not huge -- I think we got the standard one, but again it was very nicely done and super comfortable.

Thanks very much for your response NeoPatrick! Allays my concerns. I did join the Accor "club" to get a better rate but no breakfast I'm afraid. Will have to venture out in search of the morning croissant; there are worse fates.
Glad you had a good stay. Any recommendations for sights, sites, meals, etc. you would care to share?

Not really. We mainly used it as a base for some travels out during the day. All our meals there were good, but nothing that really jumped out as outstanding.

A gay couple were beaten so severely they ended up in hospital in Vancouver Saturday night.
Peter Regier and his partner David Holtzman were coming home from a Dionne Warwick concert, when they saw two men urinating on the doorstep of their Keefer Street home.
The couple had earlier been singing "What the World Needs Now is Love, Sweet Love," with other Warwick fans at the River Rock Casino, but Mr. Regier said there was "no love" when they asked the men to stop.
Mr. Regier said the two men launched into a "barrage" of homophobic slurs and insults before beating himself and Mr. Holtzman, with their fists.
The attackers ran off when they realized there were witnesses watching the events unfold, he said.
The assault left both men with concussions. Mr. Holtzman was also bitten and is suffering from impaired vision. Mr. Regier had his scalp torn open. Both were taken to hospital.
"We came out of this certainly damaged, but anti-gay assaults tend to be extremely savage," said Mr. Regier. "We recognize that there are many others in the GLBT community that have been hurt much, much more badly than we have."
According to the Vancouver Police Department witnesses have been interviewed and investigators are looking into all aspects of the assaults and any comments made by those involved in the incident.
Mayor Gregor Robertson spoke out against Saturday's attack, saying in a statement that he was "troubled and saddened" by the assault.
"Vancouver is a wonderfully diverse city and there is zero tolerance for any action or behaviour that discriminates or harms people for their beliefs, ethnicity or sexuality," he said.
"We need to speak out about it. This is a huge problem for the LGBT community and the greater community as well," Mr. Regier said.
The queer community is upset and concerned for the men, said Jennifer Breakspear, executive director of QMunity, a resource centre for the lesbian, gay, transgendered and bi-sexual community, situated in Vancouver's West End.
Ms. Breakspear said the bravery of the men in reporting the attack may empower other victims of hate crimes to feel more comfortable going to police.
An increase in reporting could also be behind the higher rate of hate crimes in Vancouver, she said.
"If we are seeing a rise in the hate crime numbers, some of that may be because members of our community are getting the message that it is safe to call police," she said, adding that the Vancouver Police Department also has a special hate crimes unit which may skew the numbers upwards.
People may hesitate going to police because of historical attitudes and laws, a feeling that they won't be taken seriously, or because they haven't come out of the closet yet, said Ms. Breakspear.
Statistics Canada released new data on Monday showing that hate crimes based on sexual orientation doubled from 2007 to 2008. Sixteen per cent of all reported hate crimes countrywide in 2008 were motivated by sexual orientation. These crimes were also more violent than those motivated by race or religion.
Vancouver - along with Hamilton, Ont. - had the highest rate of hate crimes in 2008 with 6.3 crimes committed for every 100,000 people. The statistics are based on the census metropolitan areas which includes municipalities surrounding the cities.
Among violent incidents motivated by sexual orientation, 85 per cent of the victims were male.
Neither the recent attack nor the statistics mean Vancouver is unsafe for the queer community, according to Ms. Breakspear.
"This has got to the one of the best places to be queer," she said. "This is a city where the police department is paying attention to the queer community in a way that I don't see in other cities."
The B.C. New Democrats on Monday called for a review of legislation and enforcement dealing with hate crimes with the release of the new statistics and Saturday's attack.
"Even one hate crime is one too many," said New Democrat solicitor-general critic Mike Farnworth in a press release. The B.C. Liberal government has done very little to curb hate-fuelled violence in our province, and action is overdue."Report Typo/Error

Exploring Nebraska
A Unique Educational Resource to Learn About the State
When you think Nebraska, you think of the crack of a bat at the College World Series or the roar of "Go Big Red" at a Cornhuskers game. Or you may be transported to the rain forest of the world-renowned Henry Doorly Zoo or the majestic natural spire of Chimney Rock. But did you know that Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show originated in Nebraska, that aviator Charles Lindburgh took his first flying lesson here and that Nebraska is home to the largest hand-planted forest in the U.S.?
If you would like to learn more about this great state, Hildegard Center for the Arts is offering a wonderful guide to use in the exploration of "everything Nebraska": history, culture, landmarks, natural resources, economy, geography and people. HCFA and its project partners, the Nebraska Tourism Commission and the Nebraska State Historical Society, have expanded on the images and narratives included in the Sesquicentennial Traveling Photo Exhibit: "Bridges—Sharing our Past to Enrich the Future" to create an outstanding instructional resource featuring all 93 Nebraska counties. With guidance from Harris Payne, Nebraska Department of Education Social Studies Program Director, and Paul Hunt, adjunct geography professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, "Exploring Nebraska" includes:
- Photo images from each of 93 Nebraska's counties with accompanying narrative
- Applicable Nebraska Social Studies Standards for fourth grade elementary students
- A Story Map that allows teachers and students to access the instructional resources of a county via a virtual Nebraska map
- "Quick Facts" about each county
- Discussion points for each county to promote creative thinking
- Additional resources such as links, suggested books and possible art projects
Although "Exploring Nebraska" is ideal for use in teaching about Nebraska in fourth grade curriculum, this resource can be used by all ages—from senior citizens in retirement communities to children in home-schooling families and everyone in between. The resource can also be used by history buffs as well as an inspiration for writers and those who enjoy the Arts and culture.
A project such as this requires many hands. Special thanks go out to those who have given their time and expertise to make this resource available to the public: Donna Williams—Project Chair, Rita Kean, Cathy Harrington, Kim Einspahr and Anne Woita (Hildegard Center for the Arts); Bob Puschendorf and Sharon Kennedy (Nebraska State Historical Society); Harris Payne (State Department of Education); Paul Hunt (University of Nebraska at Omaha) and Ann Bilesbach.

A woman saw a plastic surgeon for a facelift. She was older, with plenty of money so was offered a new type of therapy. Her doctor referred to it as "The Kob."
After it was installed at the back of her head, she simply gave it a twist whenever she needed to tighten and smooth her face.
After a few months, she saw the doctor for a check-up regarding her "Knob." She raved that she loved it and her younger looks. She had recommended the treatment to several of her friends.
Then she asked the surgeon about the bags under her eyes, these were bothering her a bit and the Knob didn't seem to make them better.
After a thoughtful pause, the doctor said, "sorry to say, but those aren't bags under your eyes. Those are your breasts."
"Oh, well then, that explains the goatee!"

• Transforming of an existing ICT system prototype into a transport matching system working for daily operations at freight managers and logistic centers
• Decrease of the big volume of empty or partially loaded transports of today.
The aim is to transform an existing ICT system prototype (Figure 1) to a transport matching system that works in the daily operations at freight managers and logistical centers, for instance ports. The interest of this portal has grown and been demonstrated in other EU projects and the importance of further development has been pointed out by several cargo owners and transport operators.
We are currently implementing the first test case using real time data and tailor, extend and optimize further the existing modules in the portal. This development is performed in close cooperation between researchers at Mid Sweden University (MIUN), Frontwalker (consultant) and the involved companies in the first case study described below. The optimization moduel is now finished and has been connected to real data located in a database.
The most usual criterias to be considered in logistics is time and cost, but this projects module also considers the important dimension of emissions, since it is very relevant to be aware of environmental impact today. This part has extra support by a Ph.D. student at the Stockhom University (SU) in Kista, with other financing, and the research group DECIDE with its origin at SU but also consisting of researchers from MIUN and other universities. Emissons has in the case been calculated using the ecotransit model developed by researchers at the Swedish envirmonetal Institute (IVL).
The ICT portal under development will be an important tool to optimize goods transports in the corridor with free access for all interested in BSR (companies, authorities and private persons) with a strong focus on a good weighting between emissions, costs and delays in intermodal freight transports.
Activity 2: Optimization module
• Finalized with activity report available
Other publications in this activity:
Olsson.L, Larsson.A., Matching of Intermodal Freight Transports using optimization in a decision support system, in the IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering management, Hong Kong 2012.
Activity 3: Multi-attribute decision evaluation module
• Finalized with activity report available
• Discussions with IVL about external costs ongoing (report from IVL)
Other publications in this activity:
Kalinina.M., A.Larsson. and L.Olsson."Generating of Ordering of Transport Alternatives in Intermodal Logistics in the Presence of Cost, time and Emission Conflicts" in the IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering management, Hong Kong 2012.

Activity 4: Graphical user interface
• Finalized with activity report available
Technical documentation of the first version of the ICT-portal
The technical specification is designed to show how a prototype that uses a mathematical optimization model from Mid Sweden University has been created and works. The prototype is used to draw attention to the mathematical core benefits for shipping agents. The prototype is divided into four different parts, a database, a calculation core, a wrapper that contains the computing center and a website. The website is for both shippers and suppliers with transportation needs. The specification does not go through the mathematical optimization model, which is documented in numerous scientific articles. Some of the key requirements in the development of the portal were to use real cases, be able to add transportation, and be able to show the optimization results in a correct way. Technically, the prototype must also show that the solution works with many different databases and that it is context-independent. One advantage is that the prototype communicates with JSON and sockets, which means that other software can be connected to the wrapper. The biggest problem with the prototype is that there is an opportunity to purge the database at runtime, which is needed for demonstration purposes but can cause problems if the searches take place simultaneously. Another problem is that anyone can go in and use the optimization. The final product must place the logic solved. To use the mathematical model completely, it should also be support for multi-hop paths.
Activity 5: Demonstration, testing and documentation
• Finalized with activity report available
Activity 6: Acceptance and commercialization
• Finalized with activity report available
• Market Analysis
The development is led by MIUN in cooperation with interested logistic centers. The first case study is currently ongoing at the ports in Härnösand and Söråker operated by Delta Terminal AB.
We have collected real case data to test the portal to match load carrier, such as containers and trucks, to available cargo routes. The reason for this is that this procedure is performed manually by an operator today using telephone and spreadsheets and we think that this procedure could be improved a lot using a portal.
Today´s business process and practical handling of load carriers (Figure 3) has been analyzed and the case study is now present as well as price and emission calculations. The GUI has been connected to the the optimization module that is feeded by data from a database.
The study has been focused to target the pellet transportation from the port of Söråker and Härnösand. Real case data is collected from these transports to ensure that the developed module is working in the real world. This data will furthermore be used to exemplify a real case testing the currently developed GUI of the portal where acting customers can place orders and receive the optimized transport from their input criterias. This first evaluation of the full scaled system is planned for November of 2012.
The main idea is that small- and medium sized companies will be offered to book space for their freight of pellet transports out from Söråker and Härnösand. This will give the optimized option for their transport. One important part of this study is that it includes return transportation. This basically means that empty load carrier space can be used for customers on an already existing transport, if available. This will result in cheaper and more environmental friendly transports, as well as, promoting a sustainable trade and commerce in the Sundsvall area.
Evaluation of the case study will be performed in close cooperation with the involved companies and the case will end during March 2013. Evaluation will be performed by a reference group that, except for the involved companies, consists of representatives from NECLA.
Delta Terminal AB takes an active part of this development serving with practical knowledge, business contacts and information from their database system, as well as evaluation of the system from a practical point of view. The working group consists of representatives of all levels from Delta Terminal AB and the development team at the Mid Sweden University.

there comes a time when life gets wild. crazy. so much fills up on your plate that you don't know how to balance it all. you don't know where to guide your passion.
and unfortunately, here I am. in that place. in a new city, far enough from home to feel like its 'away'. and somehow my schedule is already full with appointments, to-do lists, you name it. who knew life could get so crazy just as you're settling into a new home.
but I guess that's what happens when you are planning a wedding, looking for a job, working on a relationship, working on multiple projects, and trying to find your way around somewhere new.
but…i guess life has a tendency to do that. it ebbs and it flows. at some point, it feels like we've tackled everything on our to-do list and then WHAM, there's 20,000 more things right in front of us! ive noticed that this is just the rythym, but boy does it challenge us to find balance.
in the yoga practice, usually somewhere at the beginning of an asana practice, we are cued by our teachers to ground, center, and strengthen our breath. sometimes, I wish it was easier for all of us (including myself, especially) to take the time to do that when life itself gets overwhelming. but I guess that's part of taking our practice 'off the mat'. the phrase relates to all of our actions, not just some. taking what we learn in practice…the grounding, the strengthening…embracing the challenge and breathing through it…its taking what we learn and REALLY putting it into practice.
its so important to remember that. but not only that we are grounded and strong, but that we are happy with wherever we are in our lives. to remember our passion, what makes us smile, what makes our hearts sing and our feet dance.
sometimes, its so easy for us to get all in a rut about life. im guilty. being a sensitive person means feeling everything. sometimes its hard to remember what really makes me happy and what I need to stay focused on. so today, I pray for you and me to focus on the brightness of life, to remember what makes us shine, so that we can put that into the world and make it a better place.
always remember.

PS: this may sound like a bit of an annoyance but can i please be in 1 of your flash movies i would love to say what might happen.
yes...pie does rule
another great addition to IMP...but one question
where in the world have you guys been...you used to make tons of movies...and then kinda stopped...other than that....great job
basicly i had a horrible year where people didn't leave me alone in real life.
Besides, most of the movies i made are not approperiate for newgrounds i think, cause htey're sort n stuff.
Go to rogerregorroger.deviantart.com for the movies you haven't seen on newgrounds
Nice movie! But I noticed something...
Hey, Roger!
*watches Roger fall into a garbage can*
Um... nice movie. Very random!!! XD But... was the yellow hedgehog with the two spikes named "GS"? 'Cause if it is, um, he's not mine anymore... :P I have a human character. And his name is Jordan... :P
Still, this movie kicked ass! Keep this up!!! ^_^
yellow, 2 spikes, GS? Don't remember, msot be something i quickly made up when drawing..
The life and times of Internet nano-celebrities
Yeah, I've seen how you guys get an "OMGWTFBBQ! youre _____! I see you on IMP!!1!" message 20% of the time; it must get really old really quickly. You must forgive the fanboys; they know not how to express themselves properly.
Anyway, back to this work:
Pie does rule.
"We're under attack by geeks!" Quoted for the true horror in such a thing.
And who is that shadowy figure at the end of the banana scene? Or should I just wait?
yeah that shadowy person isn't explained properly, but it's a fan.. i should have removed that part, it doesn't make sense actually
but I don't understaND WHY WERE THEY FALLING DOWn after their own nams were called
this movie wasn't meant ot make sense, but err, the toughts about it, usually when people on my aim/ msn start with HEY ROGER IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN MAKE ME MEMBER!! means big trouble, so there's here a whole army of those people

(WASHINGTON) — Kelly Hoggan, the Transportation Security Administration's head of security, has been removed from his post, according to an internal memo and the House Oversight Committee.
Even after TSA failed to catch fake bombs and banned weapons smuggled through checkpoints by undercover investigators, Hogan received bonuses totaling $90,000, causing widespread outrage among lawmakers.
UPDATE: Kelly Hoggan has been removed from his position as head of security at TSA, following our hearing on May 12 on mismanagement at TSA.
— Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) May 23, 2016
Deputy Assistant Administrator Darby LaJoye will temporarily take Hoggan's place, according to the TSA internal memo, which does not name Hoggan.
LaJoye will take the reins as the TSA grapples with long lines and a stagnant workforce nationwide.

Martin Garrix, Calvin Harris & More Nominated For iHeartRadio Music Awards
The iHeartRadio Music Awards come into their second year in 2015, contrasting to such music awards as The Grammys and The BRITS. These awards separate the winnings into distinct genre categories, and this year's "Dance Song of the Year" nominees include a familiar collection of artists.
Songs up for the award include "Animals" by Martin Garrix, "Blame" by Calvin Harris, "La La La" by Naughty Boy, "Summer" by Calvin Harris, and "Waves" by Mr. Probz. The awards will be presented on March 29 in L.A. at the Shrine Auditorium and broadcast live on NBC.
Watch the "Animals" music video below:
