Thankfully, we have documentaries, such as Every Last Child, to open a window on what's going on in the world, beyond Kardashians and Cait Jenner. Just when you thought it couldn't get any nastier out there, here's a movie about the drive to eradicate polio in Pakistan, home to the planet's most cases -- and lo, the Taliban issues a ban against the vaccination program, gunning down health workers.
Admittedly grim, the film is compelling because documentarian Tom Roberts, a sophisticated craftsman, plays the story for suspense: Will the medical personnel striving to stamp out polio succeed in the face of the Taliban's murderous opposition? Roberts infuses his account with human interest by focusing on the dramas of several individuals affected by Pakistan's current polio crisis. And, in infiltrating Karachi's gathering places -- at what feels like considerable risk -- Roberts really gets the story's full dimensions by presenting the side of the anti-vaccinators.
Everyone has their reasons, as Renoir has famously remarked. And though the Taliban's actions are beyond despicable, in this film, their muddled reasons become somewhat understandable. Not only do they implicate America in this health crisis -- they bring into sharp focus the double-edged role and image of this country across the world.
The human interest stories Roberts teases out spotlight the daily travails of a badly crippled beggar, struck by polio in childhood and painfully navigating the streets on a hand-wheeled bike (by film's end, mercifully, he receives a new motorized one), a devastated father whose toddler gets fitted for leg braces, and a family struggling to come to terms with two women relatives who were shot by the Taliban for distributing drops to immunize the country's children.
At the center of the crisis is a medical specialist from the World Health Organization, confounded at finding himself in the crosshairs of politics, bloodshed and misinformation designed to frighten the masses (such as Taliban propaganda labeling the vaccine a sinister conspiracy by the West that could cause, among other afflictions, impotence).
Child gives human contours to a country little understood in the West. The words of Habib Mehsud, the crippled beggar reflecting on his fate could be something out of Tolstoy in his Christian phase.
And lenser Ali Faisal Zaidi hauntingly captures dusty playing fields, colorful fabrics, watery byways and the beautiful faces of the country's at-risk children. In its portrait of human forbearance Child resembles The Salt of the Earth, a must-see doc, currently in theaters, about the great humanist photographer Sebastaio Salgado.
The most illuminating takeaway from Child, however, might be the suspicion in many quarters of anything with an American or a Western imprimatur, even a vaccine to prevent polio. As one Pakistani remarks in a café: How can you trust a country that one moment dispenses medicine, and the next kills our people with drones?

Seen+Noted: Penguin want you to Lose yourself in a book in new print out of Cheil Hong Kong + Beijing
Famous novels including Dracula, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory and The Great Gatsby are celebrated in a new campaign for publisher Penguin, created by Cheil Worldwide Hong Kong and Cheil Worldwide Beijing.
'Lose yourself in a book' draws on the idea familiar to fiction lovers everywhere – when you get into a good book, you lose yourself in a whole new world.
In five executions, running in print and poster form, different novels published by Penguins are celebrated with intricate detail forming a real doorway to the story.
For F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the poster shows an elegant 1920s couple drinking champagne against a backdrop of Art Nouveau-inspired patterns and a glittering party. In the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland illustration we see Alice standing in a fantastical forest surrounded by elements from the book, from the White Rabbit's pocket watch to the Mad Hatter himself.
Each illustration features the line 'Lose yourself in a book' and a subtle Penguin logo placement.
Paul Chan, CCO at Cheil Hong Kong, said: "Book publishers are operating in such a competitive environment so we really needed to come up with a fresh visual idea for Penguin that had its own clear voice while communicating all the excitement, richness and imagination of these famous stories. At the same time, they get the message out to a wider audience about the Penguin brand."
Jenny Liu, Marketing Manager at Penguin Random House, said: "There's nothing like losing yourself in a book and this campaign captures that feeling beautifully. The campaign is a striking representation of the Penguin brand and the meticulous craftsmanship is a symbol of our unwavering devotion to storytelling."
The campaign is running on bus shelters as well as newspapers in Hong Kong.

If you'll remember a few months ago I joined a blogging group of military wives that are located here in San Diego, and I'm so glad that I did! I have met some of the nicest girls. Emily is one of those girls (check out her adorable blog, Just the Stew of Us), and I was happy when she told me that she and her husband were expecting their first baby and she wanted me to take some pregnancy announcement photos. I am so glad to have these learning opportunities to grow my photography skills-and from this session, I learned that you can never get to your shooting location too early (I got a little lost, and with traffic on top of that I was losing some serious sun by the time we arrived) and that I definitely need to invest in a flash. With that being said, I think there are a few keepers and I'm glad to have been able to hang out with Emily, Ryan, and my lovely assistant, Katie (who is another blogger over at Going Coastal with the Plumes). Thank you Katie for helping and sacrificing your toe for this shoot (there may have been a minor mishap on a rock).
Emily and Ryan are college sweethearts from Texas A&M. Ryan is a Navy helicopter pilot, and within a few weeks of me taking these photos, he set off for a 10 month deployment. 🙁 Yes, he will miss the birth of their first child. Emily is incredibly strong though, and has the support of so many friends and awesome family. It's women like her that keep the home fires burning and enable their servicemen to do their jobs without having to worry about what's going on at home. Please leave her some love and tell her how awesome she is.
For their pregnancy announcement, they wanted to use books that were Ryan's when he was a kid. Guess How Much I Love You was even in Easton's library! She titled the picture, "Bedtime in the Stewart house is about to get reallll interesting this February!" They are too funny!
Emily also just announced that they're having a BOY! I might be slightly biased but having a boy first is pretty awesome!
Congratulations you guys-can't wait to meet him! I wish you all the best and that the next 10 months fly by as fast as a helicopter.

PARIS (Reuters) – BNP Paribas' Belgian subsidiary is about to cut between 800 and 1,000 jobs following talks with unions, French newspaper Les Echos reported on its website on Thursday.
The French bank's subsidiary, BNP Paribas Fortis, employs about 13,000 people and is Belgium's number one lender.
Spokespeople at BNP Paribas were not immediately available for comment.
Three out of four unions agreed in principle, the daily reported, adding that the bank is guaranteeing all departures will be done on a voluntary basis.
The proposed accord also includes a provision under which all employees who would decide to retire or resign over the next three years will not be replaced.
Unions also accepted that employees work more hours for the same pay, the paper said.

SOC1033 : Understanding Everyday Life
- Offered for Year: 2020/21
- Module Leader(s): Dr Mark Casey
- Owning School: Geography, Politics & Sociology
- Teaching Location: Newcastle City Campus
|Semester 2 Credit Value:
|ECTS Credits:
This module introduces students to the world of everyday life and regards this important dimension of human experience as both a topic and a field of sociological inquiry. The module encourages students to make sociological sense of 'ordinary' situations, people, events, things and practices, and to question and investigate the 'taken-for-grantedness' of our everyday lives and encounters. The module is organised around six main themes: i) Lifestyles; ii) People; iii) Knowledges; iv) Places; v) Imagination; vi) Things. (Themes may change with teaching team).
Each theme incorporates:
i) an introduction to a range of theoretical and conceptual frameworks for understanding how the mundane, micro-level activities and experiences of everyday life in everyday settings are implicated in processes of social change and transformation; in the construction and reconstruction of social order and structure; and in relationships of power, resistance and conflict;
ii) an introduction to methodological ways of exploring everyday life;
iii) an introduction to the design and completion of fieldwork exercises in a variety of real-life situations;
iv) an introduction to key tools of primary and secondary data collection, including observational/ethnographic, discursive, visual, virtual, documentary and interviewing methods;
v) an introduction to data analytical techniques relevant to naturalistic/interpretative approaches to social research;
vi) an introduction to the use of empirical data and research findings to investigate and evaluate conceptual understandings of everyday life.
Outline Of Syllabus
The syllabus for this module is a dynamic one and takes account of current and contemporary events/circumstances occurring within the taught period of the module, and from one year to the next. The syllabus outlined here is therefore indicative only. Theoretical/conceptual and methodological content forms the intellectual cornerstone of the module, and is introduced in lectures, demonstrated and applied through workshops and fieldwork, and critically evaluated through seminar discussion. Conceptual ideas and inspirations may be drawn from a number of theoretical frameworks, but will vary in relation to the substantive issues explored in each thematic sequence. These may include, but not be limited to insights generated by interpretive sociologies; critical sociologies; cultural theory; poststructuralist perspectives. Similarly, methodological approaches will vary in relation to the substantive content of each thematic; methods of data collection and analysis may include, but will not be limited to ethnographic methods; interviewing; discourse analysis; visual methodologies; virtual methodologies; documentary methods. The emphasis throughout is to develop theoretical and methodological understanding through an applied approach based on fortnightly practical exercises (everyday fieldwork) involving empirical research undertaken in everyday settings. The module incorporates two fieldtrips (one local, one distance) which build on, enrich and extend the hands-on empirical work undertaken through the fortnightly 'everyday fieldwork' exercises. Each fieldtrip is supported by a seminar, which provides a reflexive space for discussing the conceptual, and methodological insights generated by the fieldtrip experience. Please note: Themes may change with the teaching team.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Lectures (2 hours) introduce students to the key theoretical, conceptual and methodological approaches to understanding everyday life as both a topic and a field of sociological inquiry. Workshops based on Case Study Analysis (1 hour) provide students with the important 'hands-on' experience of applying theoretical and methodological understandings of everyday life to a range of empirical data. Preparation for the CSA Workshops requires students to undertake a practical 'everyday fieldwork' exercise in an everyday setting, providing students with valuable opportunities to develop and practise research skills. CSA work also helps to build confidence and the development of team-working, problem-solving, oral presentation skills, as well as serving to prepare students for the individual critical case study assessment. Seminars (1 hour) provide a forum for reflecting on, evaluating and critically debating journal articles relevant to the particular thematic. Students will be directed toward particular articles/readings for the seminars; and will be expected to prepare a critical synopsis of 2 these articles for assessment. A fieldtrip is offered to facilitate a module-wide, focused fieldwork experience which takes students out of the classroom and allows them to engage with and explore in a very practical way, the material taught in Themes 1-3. The fieldtrip involves travel further afield (all day) to Leeds, and entails empirical data collection which will further develop students' research skills. The Fieldtrip is supported by a follow-up seminar which provides a reflexive space for discussing the conceptual, and methodological insights generated by the fieldtrip experience.insights generated by the fieldtrip experience.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Other Assessment
|When Set
|Written exercise
|2 x Critical synopsis of journal article, linked to seminar preparation: 500 words each (worth 12.5% of overall mark each)
|Conceptual review of 1500 words
|Case study
|Critical case study of 1500 words
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
(1) Essays 1 and 2: these are described in the module handbook as 'Critical synopses' and are designed to link students' preparatory work for, and attendance at seminars, to assessment. Students are required to submit 2 short and succinct, critical reviews of seminar readings which allows assessment of the depth and breadth of their knowledge and understanding of seminar content. (2) Essay 3: this is described as 'Conceptual review' in the module handbook, and will assess students' developing grasp of the conceptual vocabulary introduced through lectures and seminars. Each thematic sequence will identify a range of keywords which students should become familiar and confident with over the course of the taught programme; this assessment measures this progress. Key concepts for review will be selected from a list prepared by the module team. (3) Critical case study: students will be required to submit a critical case study which will assess their knowledge and understanding of firstly, the theoretical and conceptual vocabulary appropriate to the sociology of everyday life; secondly, the design and application of relevant methodological and analytical frameworks to make sense of an aspect of everyday life in everyday settings; and thirdly, the sociological use and value of research findings generated by empirical data. Students will be free to select for themselves the material and focus of the critical case study.

Former Counselor of the State Department Kristie Kenney is slated to teach a one-credit course on leadership development at Georgetown in the spring 2018 semester.
Kenney held the State Department's fifth-highest-ranking position for one year before leaving in February 2017 after the Trump administration transition. She previously served as ambassador to Ecuador, Thailand and the Philippines, the first woman to do so in the latter two countries. Her intricate knowledge of diplomacy qualified her for an appointment at Georgetown, according to SFS Senior Associate Dean Daniel Byman.
"Part of it, of course, is her intimate knowledge of the State Department, of that world and that career. Part of it is her experience as a leader in some of the most important embassies around the world," Byman said. "And part of it is she's just a super smart and impressive person, and completely independent of her experience, she'll just have a lot to offer in terms of her own leadership."
Housed in the School of Foreign Service, the course is set to be open to all students.
Kenney attributed her leadership abilities to years of experience in diplomacy, which she plans to integrate extensively into the course.
"I will bring a lot of very real experiences that I've seen — things I've experienced myself, issues where I've been the leader through complicated times, so I think that all of that will come into the classroom with me," Kenney said.
"Plus, I know a lot of people around town who are leaders at various levels — more junior leaders, more senior leaders — and I'll bring them into it too, and then combine it and hear from students and what they want to do."
Kenney added that her belief that anybody can learn to be a leader at any point in life inspired her to focus on teaching skills that can be applied in any situation.
"So when Georgetown started talking to me about what I'd like to teach, I said, 'Oh, I'd like to teach leadership,' and not just looking at what makes people good leaders, but helping people build their own leadership skills," Kenney said. "It's very practical: What can you do every day to be a better leader, so that everyone is a leader and makes an impact throughout their careers?"
Kenney said students in her class can expect to hear from a number of guest speakers throughout the semester who will contribute their own expertise in the foreign policy arena, including people working in the federal government, international business and NGOs.
Kenney has previously spoken on women's leadership skills, a topic she hopes to incorporate into the course.
"Leadership under challenging circumstances, managing diverse teams, is something that matters a lot to me and I hope to you. [The course covers] gender issues in leadership as well: how women can be good leaders and how men can make sure that the women who work with and for them also have the leadership skills they need," Kenney added.
Byman said Kenney's passion, experience and background will make her an engaging and successful professor.
"Having met her now and hearing her talk, I'm really excited about the energy she brings and really just when you meet her, it's just — she's got really a perfect mix of curiosity and friendliness, yet at the same time a wealth of and really a depth of knowledge about the diplomatic world," Byman said.
Kenney said that Georgetown's reputation for diversity and passionate students encouraged her to come to the Hilltop.
"It's such an international university and such a diverse student body — there's students from the United States and pretty much all over the world, so to me that's exciting because I will hear from a lot of different student voices," Kenney said. "Georgetown's always really been a leader in leadership issues and foreign affairs, so I think it's hard to find a more historically exciting and yet very current school to be at."

There is a fascinating article that further exposes the abject racism of liberals. Evidently, as a voting block, they view Hispanic as a specific race for voting demographics. Placido Domingo is Hispanic. He is from Spain. His family is from Spain. I have a friend who is 'Hispanic' who is as 'white 'as I am. Geraldo Is from Puerto Rico. How can anyone who is rational link everyone who comes from a location where Spanish is spoken be lumped in as a single DNA? Being from Spain is no different than being from France or Italy. Are they considered a different race? Granted the French are the lowest version of humanity when one considers them from the standpoint of being of British DNA, but they're still Caucasian. I am having a difficult time grasping the racism of liberals.
We need to also mention the fact that liberals like to use the term 'white' because it has racist overtones, with the attempt to condemn anyone who is 'white' as a total bigot if they consider themselves 'white. If they were not being racist, they would use the proper description of Caucasian.
Case in point. I have a friend who is from Mexico. She is an American citizen and a die-hard Republican. Her father immigrated from Germany. Her mother's family come from Spain. Yet, according to liberals, she is 'Hispanic', in an attempt to create a false racial profile.
I have a dear friend who considers herself 'brown'. Her family has been in New Mexico forever. Her husband's family are direct descendants from the Conquistadors. My friend has family in Mexico. I suspect, if she did her DNA, she would discover she is very much First Nations with a heck of a lot of Comanche in the mix. Numerous individuals I know who basically hail from the same are have a heck of a lot of Comanche in them. He husband, while being 'Hispanic', has a completely different DNA profile.
Once again, we are dealing with liberals who are so terribly ignorant. My friend Tom is 'Hispanic'. He is a percentage Caucasian, New Mexico Hispanic (which should be recognized as completely different from Miami Hispanic) and half Navajo. He has a Navajo last name. Breaking down, farther, his body type is not typical Atabascan Navajo, but Pueblo Navajo. Why is he considered 'Hispanic' when he is well over half First Nations?
If we were to break down the 'Hispanic' DNA the left would have a real problem. People who come from Cuba, who are considered 'Hispanic' have a completely different DNA profile from people who come from New Mexico. They have a different DNA profile from people who are from Texas but are 'Hispanic'.
Does the left grasp that the genetic profile of so-called 'Hispanic' immigrants from various parts of South America is 'Hispanic' only because of their use of Spanish as a first language? Are they THAT stupid? Do they not grasp the interesting DNA mix of the group of people they want to consider a 'race'? The only common denominator is a language, and possibly the Catholic faith. The cultural difference are more national and regional than 'racial'.
This brings us to the Native American component. I suspect liberals want to ignore that part of it. I also suspect a heck of a lot of conservatives do, too.

Newart designed a custom made book display shelf and "tidy tray" storage for St Theres's School. The colours were chosen by the client, including the heavy duty polyurethane cushion on top.
Newart can design and supply all of your custom made furniture for any purpose. We are also one of the panellists selected to provide schools and the Queensland Government with furniture under "DET SOA 68449 Queensland Government Furniture."
The team at Newart recently supplied the furniture for our Parkview Hotel renovation. From the first phone call they were so professional and helpful. They sourced product I was looking for and had it here on time, every time. I've been in this industry for over 20 years and Newart are definitely one of the best suppliers of Hospitality furniture that I have worked with.
It was a first class experience from start to finish. I only wish I had found the site earlier as I wasted a lot of time looking at stools that were far more expensive and not as stylish.
Scott O'Brien was great to deal with, very professional, responsive and knowledgeable.
Newart offered prompt and friendly service. We had no problems with orders, they were quick and accurate.
I am happy I chose to Newart to supply and install our business with new desks. The service was great and the experience overall was easy. Newart got the job done in a timely matter with no issues along the way. The new desks look amazing and fit into the office well. Trinity Petroleum felt supported the whole way from start to finish and were impressed with the designs that were given to us with such limited detail on what we wanted exactly. I will definitely be recommending Newart to other businesses and colleagues.
Newart have the best service, the knowledge & the attention to detail when it comes to our office needs. Our meeting room chairs we purchased were even better than expected, the delivery was on time & the men were very delicate with the items. Can't recommend these guys enough!

By Nicole Lauther, Head of Business Development SIMATIC RTLS, Siemens Industry, Inc.
The complexity of increasingly automated industrial plants and modern supply chains requires intimate knowledge of the operation and location of digitized assets. Questions that must be answered include, "What's where, when?" and, even more importantly, in terms of worker safety, "Who's where, when?" Yet precise answers to these questions can be hard to find.
Failure to know this information can be the downfall of many sophisticated systems being incorporated into the industrial landscape. Take the case of digital production twins that use real-time operating data from sensors and machines to reflect the current status of physical plant operations. To be of real value, they need to track the location at any given time of the many physical objects and people on a plant floor. Barcodes, RFID, and video surveillance, of course, can help. But their limitations have inhibited the realization of the smart factory. What is needed is real-time, end-to-end tracking and visibility of raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods, tools, and the people involved throughout the entire production cycle.
This lack of visibility can have serious consequences. A feedstock assignment error, for example, can compromise output quality, reduce machine utilization, and stop production. This can force large amounts of work-in-progress to be scrapped and production lines restarted at enormous costs. Misplaced tools, for example, until they are found, searching for them can waste expensive plant labor and consequently hold up production. The level of automation on the plant floor has reached the point where it is no longer acceptable to have a rough idea where things may be. After all, life safety can be at stake if automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or other mobile robots end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Workers need to feel confident that their safety won't be compromised due to material movement in work areas.
The intelligent factory, then, calls for complete synchronization of everything and everyone in real-time. Control systems must be able to autonomously sense and respond to the changing dynamics on plant floors. These capabilities are especially needed for the self-organizing factories of the future.
Fortunately, the tools now exist to realize this vision. It incorporates technology that can complete a digital production twin's picture by providing full tracking capabilities for physical objects and personnel anywhere in a plant or its surrounding premises at all times.
Known as SIMATIC Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) solutions from Siemens, it harnesses ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless and triangulation techniques to enable full location awareness. UWB transponders can locate objects and people equipped within inches with latencies of less than 1 second. Higher-level systems such as MES and ERP are fed a stream of ever changing data points related to motion, acceleration, elevation, and orientation from the RTLS system. This enables factory automation systems to make the right decisions about operations as the who, what, where, and when are known with precision. The result is a substantial boost in plant efficiency while maintaining personnel safety.
How does it work? The SIMATIC Locating Manager software is able to calculate the position of each transponder by a method called Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA). Accuracy is further increased using flanking measures such as automatic correlation of position data with the 3D model of the product and production environment stored in the digital twin. TDOA also helps extend the life of transponder batteries, ensuring reliable function over several years.
With a frequency range of 3–7 GHz, UWB uses a bandwidth of at least 500 MHz to transmit low-energy wireless signals that can still provide short-range communications for location purposes. This is achieved without interference with other wireless systems in plants, warehouses, or operating yards. Little or no RF engineering is required during installation. The RTLS solution can be integrated into IT and Automation Systems.
The SIMATIC RTLS portfolio features four interworking components:
- Transponders act as active UWB transmitters that are fitted to material containers, workpieces, robots, AGVs, forklifts, work badges, or attire.
- Anchors are usually wall-mounted and record transponder signals They serve as reference points for the localization calculations. At least four anchors are used to mark the transponders' UWB signals with a fixed position and time stamp.
- Gateways collect the recorded data and transmit it to the Locating Manager server. They feature an interface for IT network connection. Localization data and optionally application-specific data can be exchanged between the wireless localization network and the localization server via the IT infrastructure
- The Locating Manager is server-based software that calculates the real-time position of individual transponders and relays the data to higher-level systems. A rules engine defines specific events and locations and configures higher-level system responses, such as alerts and action commands.
Extensibility to cloud-based platforms such as the Siemens MindSphere open IoT operating system can be rapidly implemented and tailored to specific industries. A complete enterprise-wide view across multiple plants and continents can be achieved via MindSphere.
This changes the game on plant floor operations and logistics. Location data can be used by a MES to trigger a production step or execute an order to deliver more feedstock to production, while notifying the ERP system to decrement inventory numbers and if levels have fallen below par stocks, to order more from the supplier. RTLS data can be used for fleet management of moving vehicles, such as forklifts, AGVs, and other mobile robots. Engineers can utilize this information to improve the availability and utilization of assets. Continuous monitoring of goods reduces waste and improves traceability. Container utilization rates are improved due to the accurate management of their location, availability, and assignment. Reduced costs, more efficient processes, improved productivity, higher quality, and optimized maintenance are among the many other benefits.

Press Room & News
Hammerhead Speedway Stout and Port Barrel-Aged Wee Heavy
Friday, Feb 26, 16
A large increase in capacity following expansion into a much larger brewing facility is allowing award-winning AleSmith Brewing Company (which was just named California's best brewery and second-best brewery in the world by RateBeer.com users) to roll out more specialty beers in 2016 than during any year prior. The first two, AleSmith Hammerhead Speedway Stout and Port Barrel-Aged Wee Heavy—will go on sale at 11 a.m. PST on Monday, February 29, via online platform, Eventbrite. Though the number of releases will increase in 2016, each specialty release remains small-batch in nature, making these beers extremely limited-edition in nature.
Mirroring the coffee-house espresso-drink of the same name, Hammerhead Speedway Stout is a version of AleSmith's world-renowned coffee imperial stout dosed with even more select java plus a heaping helping of espresso. This highly caffeinated one-off was first brewed on an experimental basis as part of AleSmith's popular Speedway Grand Prix event during the 2013 edition of San Diego Beer Week. Introduced along with 11 other special versions of Speedway Stout, it was an instant classic and the all-around favorite of AleSmith fans. As such, we are immensely proud to bottle it for the very first time as the first in a family of future releases that will eventually tackle the beer's much beloved offspring, Double Hammerhead Speedway Stout and, for the most insatiable Joe enthusiasts, Triple Hammerhead Speedway Stout.
On the oak-aged side of our first 2016 release duo is Port Barrel-Aged Wee Heavy. We started with our archetypal Scotch-style ale, siphoning it into second-use Port wine barrels, where it sat for a prolonged period of time, picking up some of the dried fruit, grape must, vanilla and tannins imparted in those oak vessels during their winery tenure. The result is a rich, multi-layered beer unlike any other that will be available in extremely limited quantities. It is so rare that, other than bottles, the only place to sample it will be AleSmith's tasting room (9990 AleSmith Court—formerly Empire Street) in San Diego's Miramar community, beginning with an official release event for Port Barrel-Aged Wee Heavy and Hammerhead Speedway Stout on Saturday, March 5, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. PST.

If you are planning to go to the Middle East for greener pastures, think twice. For Maria Mmboga, going to Saudi Arabia was the worst decision she ever made.
Besides thorough beatings in the two
Maria told The Nairobian that when she secured a job and with it a visa in 2014, "It was one of my happiest moments. I was elated and said to myself, 'this is the breakthrough I have been praying for.'"
She said everything went on as planned and they landed in
"At the bureau where the employers come for you, there were Indians, Filipinos and Africans, and we were treated well and I didn't expect any foul play," said the now born-again Christian. She recalls that life shortly changed after her employer came and took her to Halfar A-Batin, a far-flung rural region, 430 kilometres north of Riyadh.
"It was a confined place, very hot and isolated. I was given a hijab which I was warned never to remove."
Maria's phone was also confiscated and broken into pieces before being warned never to leave the compound alone or talk to anyone.
Her boss who was a police officer became wild and his wife used a knife and a piece of wood when talking to her, she claims. Their daughter followed suit, forcing Maria to work day and night without rest in between verbal abuse and beatings.
When she asked her boss why they were treating her like an animal, she was beaten and told she is a slave and they paid a lot of money to buy her. She had to work.
"The first six months passed without a salary and I knew things had changed for the worst. I had to find my way out," she said, adding that she kept on praying in her room during the one-hour sleep break.
"After slaughtering snakes and cooking them for months, I could not sleep anymore because I would see them in my dream and wake up shouting. That alone resulted in more beatings at night," she adds. She says her prayers were finally answered after two years without pay, after enduring torture.
From nowhere, one of her boss' friends who was also a police officer, who was visiting was concerned about her condition.
"I gained courage after his visit and went to my boss knowing that I could be killed in the process. I told him my contract was over and that I wanted to go back to Kenya with my full pay," and after about two weeks, she was released and paid almost all her dues.
"I didn't believe I was coming back to Kenya until the plane took off. It was like a dream come true," she said adding that when she landed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, she was like she had reached heaven.
Maria who is now living in a church and has recorded her first gospel song advises Kenyans to love their country with all its challenges, as it's still the best country. "When I hear people say I hate Kenya, I pity them because they don't know what they are talking about," she warns.

Nothing great was ever achieved by late-risers.
Waking up early is one of the golden rules for victory in our lives.
There is a saying, "the early bird catches the worm."
That means, the bird who gets up earlier than the others, is the one who
catches the worm – which is her food, and is important for her nourishment.
So what is it that we want to catch, or bring into our lives?
Do we wish for success – in our school or college, in our jobs, and in any other aspect of life?
Then let's shift from just wishful thinking, and see what is required to create a successful life?
There are many ingredients, and the first is, getting up early.
The mind is fresh in the mornings. Energy levels are high in the mornings.
And a lot can be achieved in those few extra hours in the morning.
So why don't you try it?
Get up early and pray, exercise, study, help in the house, finish yesterday's homework, plan the new day …there's so much that you can achieve.
Want to feel good? Want to achieve greatness?
Start with the small things!
A) Vocabulary:
Achieve – to gain something
Victory – success in a battle or struggle
Wishful thinking – what you would like to happen
Nourishment – the food necessary for growth and good health
Ingredient – one of the things that go into a mixture
Please make your ownsentences with the above words. The sentences should demonstrate that you understand the meaning of the words.
B) Discussion Points:
- Are you an early riser? Please answer in full sentences.
- Who, in your home, is an early riser?
- If you were to wake up an hour earlier in the morning, what would you do?
- Please name 2 people who you think are great, and talk about what you think their lives are like? It can be a sportsperson, actor, singer, or any other person.
- What do you think are the other ingredients to achieve victory, success or greatness?
- Benjamin Franklin said: Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Do you agree?

A ketogenic diet has consisted of high fat, healthy protein and low carbs, which is too helpful in strong metabolism system. This diet is closed to weight loss because it starts to use fat for energy. The daily meal of vegetarian keto diet plan has consisted of probably 10% carbs, 20% protein and 70% fat. The average man who has required 2000 calories daily, he must compare his food with 50 grams carbs daily. The number of a gram depends on gender, activity level, metabolism and weight.
You can follow this keto diet plan if you are a vegetarian. This diet plan is a little tricky. This diet plan consists of a generous amount of fat, healthy protein and a reduced amount of carbohydrates. Before the use of diet plan, you have to need to reduce the number of carbs, fruits and pulses which you ate in your routine.
Keto vegetarian Diet:
The vegetarian people refrain from all food products from animals. That's why the diet of ketogenic demands people to use carbs in the alternation of fat. Maybe it seems odd as this diet plan is entirely about keto vegetarian people. This is also a reality that it is a challenge for keto vegetarian to stay away from animals products.
Kato vegetarians always look at fatty food plants that are low in carbs. Nuts, avocados and seeds are the best food for Kato vegetarians.
Diet options for keto vegetarian:
- Tempeh, seitan and tempeh is the best vegan protein
- Broccoli, cauliflower, mushroom and green leaf is contained low carb vegetables
The milk of coconut, yoghurt cream, cheese and other products of milky is carried on richly fat
- Seeds and nut
- In fruits berries and Avocado are high and low-fat fruit
- Incited food
- Seaweed
- Erythritol
- Stevia and erythritol has low calories sweeteners
- Coconut oil, olive oil and avocado oil is the plant of oils.
Breakfast Time:
- You can eat eggs and vegetables and avocado fried in coconut oil
- Avocado and asparagus with eggs frittata
- Omelet fried and vegetable in olive oil
- Coconut cream made by charmer, full-fat yogurt, butter almond and some berries
Lunch Time:
- Avocado salad and eggs
- Mix green vegetable salad including few nuts, lemon juice and dressing oil
- Carbs contain on low feta like olives, fresh Greek Spices, tomatoes, onion and coconut oil
- Vegetable and egg mixed rice
For Dinner:
- Cauliflower crust and broccoli cheese pizza

- In coconut oil eggplant parmesan
- Protein which is compulsory in keto diet: Eggs, dairy, nato, miso, tempeh, nuts and seeds are contained fat protein food.
In fruits berries have contained a low level of sugar; carbs are also sugar-free fruit. You can eat the easily small amount of grains in the keto diet. Fruits are best for natural protein and body survivor. Blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are the best and suitable food for ketogenic vegetarian people.
This diet is going to be harder if you are vegetarian, but you hate vegetables. The most crucial part of keto diet plan is it keeps your fat content at the high level. After following the keto diet plan, you will be needed to healthy low carbs in your food. No need to feel afraid to open yourself up to trying diva ferently the new vegetables. If you want to eat fried food, you can be cooked the food in coconut and olive oil. You should make changes in your diet in different ways. Spinach, kale, collard greens, lettuce, asparagus, green beans, broccoli and cucumber, summer and winter squash, red and white cabbage, cauliflower bell and onion are the best vegetable for organic people. These are the low cars vegetables.
The ketogenic diet is a strict and hard diet for vegetarian. But if you want to burn the calories and fat-free body you should follow keto vegetarian diet in your meal. It is the best diet for fat burn. You can freely follow this diet plan as I have guaranteed about its benefits. The menu consists of fruits, carbs and the thing which belongs to any animal.

Award: Gaylactic Spectrum Award
The Gaylactic Spectrum Awards is bestowed every Autumn in three categories. Only the Best Novel category is listed here. Eligible books must be published in North America in English.
The winner receives an etched image on lucite depicting a spiral galaxy and a triangle, similar to the logo.
About the Galactic Spectrum Awards[1]
The Gaylactic Spectrum Awards honor outstanding works of science fiction, fantasy and horror which include significant positive explorations of gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered characters, themes, or issues.
The Gaylactic Network, the premiere organization for gay and lesbian fandom, created the Awards in 1998 because there was no existing avenue for the recognition of outstanding gay-positive work within the genre. In 2002, the Awards struck out on their own, under the auspices of the newly created Gaylactic Spectrum Awards Foundation. The Gaylactic Network remains a primary partner for the Awards. The Gaylactic Spectrum Awards Foundation is working on its own incorporation and is seeking to obtain charitable organization status to enhance its ability to inform and educate.
Oftentimes, books and other works can be overlooked—and publishers, authors and artists need to know that their inclusion of gay issues, characters and themes is appreciated. Before the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards, no award had been developed that honored works for both genre content AND gay content. Because speculative fiction offers an opportunity to explore complex and sometimes unpopular issues through the distance of other worlds, times and cultures, we hope the award will encourage professionals working in science fiction, fantasy and horror to use the genre to explore characters and issues of importance to the gay community.
The Gaylactic Spectrum Awards are presented annually and honor works premiering in the previous calendar year. In their first year (1999), the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards were presented in three categories: Best Novel, for the best novel; Best Other Work, for the best work in any format other than novel (including movies, TV, short stories, art, gaming materials, etcetera); and Hall of Fame, for a work premiering prior to 1998. Currently, the Awards are given in three categories: Best Novel; Best Short Fiction; and Best Other Work. In addition, a limited number of works released prior to 1998 are inducted into the Hall of Fame each year.
Nominations for the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards are open to everyone. A small panel of volunteer judges reviews the nominated/recommended works in each category to determine winners and a short list of recommended works. Nominees, Short List Recommendations and Winners in each category for the Awards are announced each year, and information on the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards can be found on the page for each award year here on our site.
The running of the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards, including all administration costs, award costs, and cash stipends presented to winners are completely supported by donations from individuals and organizations and through grassroots fundraising. Please help us to recognize and promote outstanding works and the future of gay content in the genre by participating in this endeavour with us. Submit nominations and consider donating to the cause.
Event Calendar
Tracking of this award has been discontinued as of December 2006 because the announcement was due in September and inquiries via the award's website received no response. If the award administration resurfaces, feel free to resume tracking.

Aug. 4-6, 2017
August is probably not the best time to ride the Rainbow Rim Trail along the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. August is monsoon season. It rains almost every day. In fact, it rained so hard the day before we left, we almost canceled our trip. But after discussing our options, Jamie and Jason decided they were more interested in visiting the North Rim than mountain biking, so why not go for it.
The Rainbow Rim Trail, as far as I know, is the only mountain bike trail on the Kaibab Plateau. The trail lies just outside of Grand Canyon National Park, on the western rim of the Kaibab Plateau. The entire trail is 18 miles long, and connects to 5 lookout points. Locust Point is in the middle, so we camped there. Our plan was to ride the northern half the first day, then the southern half the second day, for a total ride of about 36 miles.
We left home early Friday morning and drove to Jacob Lake for lunch. While eating lunch, we considered the weather and wondered how muddy the dirt roads and trails would be. Our waitress said the roads shouldn't be too bad, even though they got a lot of rain the previous day and some rain that morning. We decided we would stick with our original plan and attempt to camp at Locust Point.
After lunch, we drove south on Hwy 67 for about 20 miles. We turned west on Forest Road 22, which goes all the way back to Fredonia. Most directions I found suggested staying on 22 for several miles, then south on 206 for several miles. FR22 is a good road, allowing travel of about 40 mph, but it goes a long way out of the way. We took a slightly rougher road that was more direct (FR222 I think). This connected us to FR294, which goes out to Locust Point.
From Hwy 67 to Locust Point via our route was about 18 miles of dirt road. The first 15 miles were pretty good, the road covered in some form of road base, so it wasn't muddy. The last 3 miles got a little rougher, and had numerous large mud puddles. Only one of them was quite deep, which sent gear flying all over the car when we hit it.
We found a great campsite just a few hundred feet from the point, and quickly set up our tents and rain fly.
We started our bike ride at about 4:00 PM – a few hours later than hoped.
Our plan was to ride north about 3 miles to Fence Point, then another 6 miles to Parissawampitts Point. We only made it about 6 miles before I had had enough. Being out of shape, the altitude and climbs were getting to me. In general, the 5 lookout points are the low points on the trail. You climb as you ride east to go around a small canyon, then descend as you ride west to the next point.
We all decided to turn back since it was getting late.
The trail is kind of like the road – mostly covered in broken rocks – so mud really wasn't an issue. The trail isn't all that technical, but it is somewhat rocky, so it takes some effort to keep your wheels rolling. There are also vicious thorn bushes all along the trail – so be prepared to get scratched up. Also, be prepared for flat tires.
We got back to camp just before sunset, so I sent the kids back down to the rim to take some pictures while I started getting dinner ready.
It got dark while we were cooking dinner, and it sprinkled on and off. Luckily, it didn't rain while we were on our ride. Dinner was great. We enjoyed sitting and relaxing until bedtime.
It started raining during the night – not a hard rain – but steady. It rained through breakfast, and showed no sign of letting up.
None of us wanted to ride in the rain, so we decided to drive out to Parissawampitts Point to see what we missed. We never did find a lookout point there, so we weren't too disappointed that we didn't make it on our bikes.
By the time we got back to camp, the rain had let up and the sun was poking through the clouds. We packed our lunch and headed out on the southern portion of the trail at about 2:00 PM.
I found the southern portion to be more enjoyable than the northern leg. Some of it was because I had somewhat adapted to the altitude and I was starting to get my leg strength back. But mostly it was because the trail was smoother and I think it had less vertical climbing.
We rode about 6 miles to North Timp Point. Just before getting there we could look across the gully and see Locust Point. It wasn't very far away as the crow flies – but 6 miles on the trail.
We ate our lunch at North Timp Point, and then continued on another 3 miles to Timp Point. This was my favorite section of the trail. There were a few technical bits, but most of it was pretty smooth and not too steep. I was able to ride most of this section, whereas the other sections I had to walk a lot of the climbs.
After a short break, we headed back. We took another break at North Timp Point, and then headed back to camp. About ½ mile from camp I rode over a branch on the trail and heard a pop. My rear tire went flat. The kids were ahead of me, heading to camp. It was getting dark, and my tires were muddy. I decided to walk back to camp rather than spend the remaining daylight repairing my tire. When I got home, I found that the branch actually sliced my tire, so a new tube may not have lasted long anyway.
The next morning, we found that Jason's rear tire was also flat. He got a pinch flat, but luckily it was a slow leak so he was able to finish the ride.
Because I had to walk so many of the climbs, it took us a lot longer to ride the trail than we had planned. We averaged about 3 mph. While riding the flat sections, I was typically going about 6 mph, and 10-12 mph on the downhill portions. I imagine the kids could have done the ride in about half the time it took me. They were nice to wait for their old man.
On Sunday morning, we packed up camp and took a Jeep road south to Point Sublime. It was obvious that this road is seldom traveled, but it wasn't too much for my Grand Cherokee to handle. At one point, we came to a downed pine tree across the road, which we cut with our bow saw and removed.
This road turned out to be a fun ride – but Jamie commented that it would have been a lot more fun on our dirt bikes. The bulk of this trail is inside the national park, but there is nothing more than a sign indicating the park boundary.
Point Sublime is perhaps the best viewpoint within the park. You have about a 270° view of the canyon, and can even see the Colorado River.
Most people that venture out to Point Sublime take the Point Sublime Road, which heads west from near the visitor's center. I assumed this road would be better than the Jeep road we came in on, but that was not the case. This road was noticeably rougher, and not as enjoyable, as the other road. We also managed to get a flat tire about 15 miles from pavement. We had to completely unload the car to access the spare. By the time we had the tire changed, it was time for lunch.
After lunch we continued on, moving at a slower pace so as not to get another flat. No sooner than we started, when it started to pour. This was the hardest rainstorm of our three-day trip. We were sure glad we got the tire changed before the storm hit.
Our intent was to attend church at the North Rim at 1:00 PM, but because of the flat tire, we missed that. We spent a few minutes walking out to Bright Angel Point, and then headed for home.
We really lucked out with the weather. We got some rain, but never at inconvenient times. The temperatures were slightly warm for mountain biking, but great for camping. The elevation at camp was about 7700'.
The Rainbow Rim trail is really a pretty fun bike trail, and the wonder of riding along the rim of the Grand Canyon make it well worth the drive.

This is more or less a close up view of the Lambertville Overlook painting that I recently did. The focus is solely on the churches in town. I love how the churches and houses arise and peek out from the trees below. The playful sky and trees in the background are composed of light and airy beautiful pastel colors. The brushstrokes are very gesture-full as they dance on the canvas. The subject matter gives me a sense of peace and solice, yet while I was applying the paint I felt energy and faith with each brushstroke.
Having faith is so critical as a painter, and I'm not talking about religious faith. I'm talking about faith in yourself that you can be a great painter, that you will capture something special and evoke emotion in your viewer. Faith in your brushwork that when you lay that brushstroke down, it's going to hit it's mark with the right color, value and gesture all at the same time. Faith takes time to acquire, sometimes years. It's like confidence in yourself plus a higher power at work. I don't know what this higher power is, it's intangible, it's a flow of energy, requiring only subconscious thought. I just know that sometimes I manage to achieve it. It's like a sports figure who is playing "in the zone." God it feels good and I feel blessed when it happens!
It along with it's predecessor can be found in the Lambertville gallery.

2018 Mazda6 vs 2019 Acura TLX
Although some 2019 Mazda models are expected to be dropping into view quite soon, the newest model in the Mazda inventory is currently the refreshed 2018 Mazda6. Brilliant and stylish, the 2018 Mazda6 midsize sedan offers a luxurious and comfortable experience at an affordable price. However, in regards to its luxury, how does such a factor hold up when compared to an actual luxury brand model?
For that, we've brought in the 2019 Acura TLX. Just as the 2018 Mazda6 is the newest model in the Mazda catalog, the 2019 Acura TLX is also the newest model in the Acura catalog. Both functioning as midsize sedans, we thought this was a matchup made in heaven. Let's begin with the 2018 Mazda6 vs the 2019 Acura TLX!

2018 Mazda6 Rochester, NY
A bit surprisingly, the 2018 Mazda6 and 2019 Acura TLX nearly match up in terms of engine size. With luxury brand cars, you'll often find a much bigger, yet more powerful, engine when compared to other non-luxury model counterparts. However, the 2018 Mazda6 manages to match the 2019 Acura TLX in terms of torque output and both models have the same combined fuel economy. However, that means the 2018 Mazda6 is the winner with its much lower starting MSRP.
Furthermore, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the multitude of features that the 2018 Mazda6 offers, including:
- Dynamic Pressure Turbocharged Engine
- Bose® 11-Speaker Sound System
- LED Headlights
- Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go
- MAZDA CONNECT™ Infotainment
- Ultrasuede® Interior Trim
- Active Driving Display
- 360° View Monitor
- Ventilated Nappa Leather Upholstery

- And more!

Just contact us here at Marketplace Mazda to get started! The dealership of Marketplace Mazda is located in Rochester, New York within Monroe County.

The Idiot's Manual to Ssh Account
SSH Account has been made, 5. You're now prepared to hook up to your SSH account dealing with the private key. You're now ready to connect to your SSH account using the keys. The expression non-user account can be employed for discussing all user accounts that are not standard user accounts.
The Bizarre Secret of Fast Ssh Account
If you're behind your organization's firewall and you're using proxy, you should configure the Proxy settings. Approaches for you, If you've got your own business, you may need to set your own server in order for your employees and those who work in your enterprise can be linked someone to another in better way. Whatever variety of websites your company needs hosted, a digital private server is a superb and flexible alternative. Many tiny companies with different demands and workloads find that cloud hosting is a powerful option which may fulfill their demands. Above, whoever owns the house directory was set to root allowing the chroot jail to complete the job.

The process essential to begin an ssh server would depend on the distribution of Linux which you're using. When it is effective to really have the ability to log in to a remote system using passwords, this is a much greater idea to determine key-based authentication. SSH keys should be generated using the pc you would like to sign in from.
After you have on the server, you will likely be requested to confirm your identity by supplying a password. With the ability to customize your VPS on every level, you'll be able to create a server that will aid your business and its domains to continue to improve their success. On the other hand, an ardent server is a physical server that you may purchase or rent for the demands of your business. A cloud server is supposed to be legitimate if it is conveyed through server virtualization. You don't need to download a particular client. Also your connection is likely to be encrypted. A tunneled connection is manufactured once a server has the ability to authenticate the connecting client.
There are two methods to configure OpenSSH. Moreover, OpenSSH provides a massive suite of secure tunneling capabilities, several authentication strategies, and sophisticated configuration alternatives. OpenSSH is incorporated into many professional goods, but almost no of those businesses assist OpenSSH with funding. SSH is a way to login remotely via one computer to another computer securely. SSH is a means to remote login via one computer to a new computer securely. SSH has the capability to deliver a safe, encrypted link between your customer and the server through this encrypted tunnel.
When you've set up your hardware configurations, it's time to begin preparing the remainder of your digital machine. In the aforementioned example, both configuration things are just used as the user an integral part of the sftponly user group. Such users can ordinarily be used to sign in making use of a password and may be utilized for running programs using the pc. Type your password if you are prompted to achieve that. In some instances, disabling Password authentication might be asked to be disabled. The encryption utilized by SSH provides confidentiality and integrity of information over an insecure network like the web.

The 2017 North Queensland Architecture Awards were announced on Friday 12 May at a ceremony in Cairns.
The Australian Institute of Architects Queensland Chapter recognized three projects with Regional Commendations. Of these, two received additional honours.
The highest accolade, the Walter and Oliver Tunbridge Award for Building of the Year, went to the Act for Kids Child and Family Centre of Excellence in Townsville by M3 Architecture. The jury lauded the centre as an "emblematically tough but tender collection of structures" that "pivots around a grove of trees at the forested edge of the university campus' and 'choreographs a passage for children's healing."
Read Michael Keniger's review of the project here.
Stuart Street House by Outcrop Architecture was awarded the North Queensland House of the Year Award, which paid particular praise to the way the house engaged with the landscape. "A stair climb, living room, inverted balcony, swimming pool and barbeque deck" offer "indelible engagement of varying scale with the beauty of the panorama, while the colour palette respectfully complements the rugged hillscape."
All projects recognized will progress to the Queensland State Architecture Awards, to be announced in Brisbane on 23 June.
The winners and recipients of regional commendations are:

The agreement will cover several areas of mutual interest, such as trade, food safety, intellectual property, customs cooperation and development of small and medium-sized enterprises, Xinhua reported. The meeting, which will be held in the Qatari capital Doha, is a result of the U.S.-Qatar Strategic Dialogue, which concluded in Washington DC last month. Since June 5, 2017, Qatar has been going through a blockade imposed by the Saudi-led Arab countries, which have cut all air, land and sea links to the tiny gas-rich Persian Gulf nation. Doha, however, has been opening up new markets and diversifying its economy to cushion the impacts of the unprecedented diplomatic and trade siege. The US is Qatar's sixth-largest trading partner. In 2017, the US became the top source of Qatari imports.

MEANWHILE IN GERMANY: Internet access declared a basic rightPosted: 2013/02/11 Filed under: events, I want, media, politics, technology | Tags: basic right, germany, internet, internet access Leave a comment
A top German court has ruled that people can sue their Internet providers for damages if connection is lost. The court has ruled that access to the Internet represents a basic need in modern society.
The complaint that brought about the ruling came from a man who lost his Internet connection for two months due to an administrative error caused by a takeover of his Internet provider by another company. He is now entitled to monetary compensation – and while the amount may not be very high, the ruling reflects an important shift. With it, Germany's Federal Court of Justice has stated that Internet connection is a modern necessity, on par with the right to mobility.
The court compared the situation to a car owner claiming damages after someone else has caused an accident that renders the car unusable for some time.A 'vital' part of lifeAmong other reasons for the judgment, the Federal Court states that "the majority of German residents use the Internet on a daily basis. It has become a medium that plays a vital role in the lives of most people, and whose absence has a significant impact on daily life."

Julia Roberts plays an FBI investigator in her new thriller Secret in Their Eyes, but that isn't enough to protect her daughter from a brutal murder (or put the killer behind bars). But after years of searching for the culprit, her fellow investigator (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) finds a new lead that could help them get justice—but not before the case gets very complicated.
Nicole Kidman also stars as the District Attorney supervisor on the team, and the film was written and directed by Billy Ray (whose work on Captain Phillips won him an Academy Award nomination). Secret in Their Eyes opens in theaters Oct. 23.
