Kashan Madrasa-ye Solṭāni
Solṭāni Seminary (Madrasa-ye Solṭāni)
The largest seminary in Kashan, it was built in eight years by order of Fatḥ- ʿAli Shah Qājār in the years 1221-29. The architect, whose name is inscribed on the southern wall under the brick dome, was Moḥammad- Šafiʿ. It is located next to the main bazaar, with direct access to its center through its own main entrance. The portal is decorated with glazed tiles and leads to the interior of the school by means of a vestibule and two corridors that end on the two sides of a balcony. The chamber for calling to prayer stands on the top of the portal. The large courtyard, with an octogonal pool in the middle, lies in the center in a north-south direction with the entrance/portal section to the east of it and the veranda, the dome, and the prayer niche to its west. Fifty-two chambers and two sizeable halls earmarked for holding classes and the gathering of seminary students surround the courtyard. The dome, made with two-layer brick work, covers the area used for prayer. Two other prayer areas flank the dome space to the south and the north. At its end is the prayer niche, which is adorned with stalactite decorative work (moqarnas), plaster inscriptions, and multi-colored, glazed tiles. There is also a water reservoir that can be reached by a forty-step staircase

Alonso to contest 2019 Indy 500 with McLaren entry
Fernando Alonso will return to the Indianapolis 500 with McLaren in 2019 as he bids to complete motorsport's unofficial Triple Crown.
The two-time F1 world champion will step away from McLaren's grand prix team at the end of this season, but beyond completing the 2018-19 World Endurance Championship superseason with Toyota, he had nothing else firmed up for next year.
However, on Saturday at the Brazilian GP, where Alonso was 18th fastest in qualifying, McLaren announced it will once again make a one-off entry at Indianapolis with Alonso, as it did in 2017 when he led parts of the race before retiring in the closing stages.
"I've made clear for some time my desire to achieve the Triple Crown," Alonso said.
"I had an incredible experience at Indianapolis in 2017 and I knew in my heart of hearts I had to go back if the opportunity was there.
"I'm especially glad to be returning with McLaren. This was always my first choice if the team decided to do it, so I'm delighted they've decided to go ahead.
"It's a tough race and we'll be up against the best, so it will be a huge challenge."
Alonso's 2017 Indy attempt was run in conjunction with IndyCar team Andretti Autosport, but McLaren has not released details yet of its 2019 plans, beyond saying the entry will be under 'McLaren Racing'.
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown said: "We are relishing our return to the Brickyard and this incredible race.
"McLaren has a long and fond relationship with the Indianapolis 500 and it's a case of unfinished business for us with Fernando.
"No Indy 500 is a cakewalk, it's a massive challenge. We have the utmost respect for the race and our competitors. So, we are under no illusions.
"But McLaren are racers first and foremost, as is Fernando. We're going for it."

After weeks of reports and speculation, Everton have finally got their man. With interest from continental managers such as Unai Emery and Lucien Favre, the Blues have decided to stay in the Premier League and bring in Ronald Koeman from Southampton.
The former Netherlands international was reportedly the number one choice for new major shareholder Farhad Moshiri, as he begins building his future for Everton.
Koeman has signed a three-year deal with his yearly earnings speculated to be close to £6 million, making him one of the top ten paid managers in the world, and top five in the Premier League.
The Blues also paid £5 Million pounds to Southampton in compensation for Koeman and part of his backroom staff.
Information about talks had been scarce from both sides. Koeman had been on holiday after a successful Premier League campaign with the Saints. Everton's offer of big wages and a transfer budget reportedly set around £150 million pounds was enough to persuade Koeman to come back a few days early.
Koeman already has his sights on potential future managerial roles at clubs such as Arsenal and Barcelona, so Everton could likely be a stepping stone to those positions. Of course, Koeman is going have to prove he's worthy of those jobs and winning Everton's first trophy in nearly 22 years would certainly help.
Everton are still a project
Koeman is not coming into an easy job or situation, he could be forgiven for thinking this will be easy to turn around. He takes charge of an Everton side with a number of questions, mainly surrounding their key players such as Romelu Lukaku and John Stones.
The Blues need to find and bring in a new goalkeeper as Tim Howard has moved on to the MLS. Joel Robles may be unlikely to be the long-term answer at Goodison Park but has shown he can be serviceable. Everton have already been linked Jasper Cillessen from Ajax, and those links will likely continue with Koeman.
The defence is coming off a woeful season that saw them conceded 55 goals in the Premier League. Phil Jagielka is coming to the end of his career and while still a very good player, it's not going to last much longer. John Stones is constantly linked with moves away but Ramiro Funes Mori has a year under his belt in the Premier League and will be better for the experience.
A key part of Koeman's early tenure will be to get the very best out of Ross Barkley. Barkley is still a fantastic player but needs nurturing the right way. He is a building block for Everton and is a huge fan favourite, but he is still developing as a player.
His confidence can be hindered during games through one mistake and Barkley can easily go into his shell, unable to display the magic which makes supporters sit up and take notice of him when he is in full flight.
Romelu Lukaku looks set to leave Goodison Park, he's already made his mind up about his future and seemingly wants a move away. Of course, any move away has to meet Everton's price, which is reportedly set at £65 Million pounds. If Koeman can convince Lukaku to stay for another 12 months, he has no need to go out and blow a major part of his transfer fund on a new first choice striker.
Past those key areas, there are a number of players set to leave the club as their contracts expire. Leon Osman, Tony Hibbert and Steven Pienaar are just a few of those players and they can be replaced by up and coming youngsters.
Tom Davies and Kieran Dowell have shown they have the potential to cut it in the Premier League while others such as Callum Connolly and Jonjoe Kenny may be able to cover for Seamus Coleman with Tony Hibbert now having left the club.
Backroom staff
Koeman will also bring his brother Erwin as his assistant alongside a number of other coaches, including Jan Kluitenberg. Duncan Ferguson also looks set to keep his place with the Everton first team after rumours suggesting he could have been set to move.
Ferguson represents an instant connection to the Everton supporters and may finally have his chance to have his say in the dressing room. The former Everton striker was reportedly frozen out by Roberto Martinez and was not to give his input to the team during games.
The Blues are also intent on bringing in a Director of Football and are reportedly chasing Monchi from Sevilla and Marc Overmars. Koeman has worked under similar conditions in the past and may have already agreed to work under a Director of Football.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- The Sobig and Blaster virus attacks are having a positive effect on anti-virus sales, and analysts say that could offset challenges faced at two major Internet security companies.
Network Associates
In that quarter, Network Associates saw a 26 percent rise in sales due to strong demand in the core anti-virus business driven by the outbreaks of the Nimda and Code Red worms.
Shares of Network Associates rose 6 percent to $15.35 Thursday.
There are a number of negatives for Network Associates, such as an SEC investigation, a history of disappointments, competition and weakness in its Sniffer network protection product, said Maguire. But those issues are already priced into shares. For investors seeking "laggards with improving fundamentals," Network Associates is the stock, he suggested.
Maguire also points out that a recent price increase by rival Symantec should enable Network Associates to do the same. This should improve margins. Importantly, the industry is entering a seasonally strong sales period.
Another beneficiary of the demand for anti-virus software is Symantec
"Based on discussions with channel contacts and industry professionals it has become readily apparent that the recent Blaster and Sobig virus attacks have had a positive impact on consumer anti-virus sales," wrote Stimson. In addition to Symantec's recent price increase and changes to its consumer software product, Stimson raised his earnings estimates.
Symantec rose 2 percent to $59.38 Thursday.
Stimson raised his current quarter earnings estimate to 44 cents from 40 cents and fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005 estimates to $2.20 from $1.96 and $2.31 from $2.01, respectively.
Symantec is also expected to announce its 2004 Internet security suite of anti-virus and spam-fighting software on Monday.
The new product suite includes the Norton anti-virus 2004 product, which was unveiled last month. The Norton anti-virus product, which was unveiled on Aug. 25, is a consumer product that scans e-mail viruses. The latest version also includes scanning for so-called spyware, which tracks where consumers roam on the Internet.
But Symantec may feel the competitive heat next year as Microsoft
"We think enterprise users will be far more reluctant to embrace Microsoft's pure security offerings given that the company's vulnerabilities provide the overwhelming source of the malicious code," wrote Maguire.
Meanwhile, the buying in Network Associates and Symantec spilled over to other Internet security shares. Internet Security Systems

One of the significant changes within the digital revolution is a person's ability to communicate with other people. In the 19th century, forms of communication were limited. In the 21st century, communication options have exploded to offer a wide variety of choices. In 2009 , Rim Siam Found the Hot Mommas Project while Googling the George Washington University for her son. The Hot Mommas Project ( HMP ), is an award-winning women's leadership program housed at the George Washington University School Of Business . It's the world's largest women's case study digital library. Rim submitted her success story" Teaching women carpentry skills using computerised Machines" and became the first woman from Arab Countries who not only shared her story with the Hot Mommas Project, but became the 2009 winner of the Middle East Award. Hot Mommas = Dynamic Women .......... www.hotmommasproject.org
For the past few years, Rim has served as Regional Country Manager for the Hot Mommas Project. In that time, It came to her attention that most of Female-run enterprises in the Middle East were lacking basic digital literacy skills, which meant that they will not be able to compete in the Global market and to serve as a mentors. She strongly believed that Closing the gaps in digital literacy and techpreneurship for Middle Eastern women, and others who are not fully participating in the Internet, will require more to be done. So,she has formed the Middle East delegation in order to engage women around the world in helping to build Cultural, Entrepreneurial and Commercial bridges.She taught women from the Middle East how to come online and share their stories in a structured, teachable format (a case study) and serve as examples of leadership both personally and professionally, and this was extremely important not just in the Middle East, but for women globally because doing so – research shows – increases the confidence and career success of women and girls. Rim played an important role in spreading the Hot Mommas Project in the Middle East and today it became the DIGITAL DEMOCRACY PROJECT around the world.
Recently Rim created anathor Digital Commerce "WEBB Megastore" : which is an online platforms that connects female entrepreneurs to sell their goods across different sectors .www.webb-middleeast.com
Rim believes that Digital literacy, online entrepreneurship, and a focus on building opportunities and equity through technology, are the keys to success in the 21st Century .WWW: Women Weave the Web

Printers Using HP 950/951 or 970/971 Cartridges
During the last few months HP have continued to install regular firmware updates to printers, which in turn, restrict the use of third party ink cartridges. As always, we're working hard to continously provide updated cartridges as and when they're available.
Our customers have been asking how they can prevent further updates from happening in the future, so we put together this step by step guide. Menu systems can differ slightly between printers but the process is usually very similar.
1) Select the 'gear/cog' setup icon on your printer display panel
2) Select 'Web Services' from the Setup menu
3) Select 'Printer Update' from the Web Services menu
4) Toggle 'Auto Update' to OFF
This should prevent any future Automatic Firmware Updates from being received without your knowledge.
They may however prompt you to download a Firmware Update over Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection which should be rejected if you wish to continue using third party cartridges without disruption:
1) If the 'Update Available' dialogue box should appear on your printer screen, select 'No'
2) Also answer 'No' to the secondary window as you do not wish to turn on updates

Crash-test dummies smartening up
Plymouth-based company supplies test devices to OEMs all over the world.
In a far corner of a lab, 170-pound middle-age male waits silently for an 81-pound steel battering ram to slam into his back at 10 miles per hour. Nearby, a worker digs into a 3-year-old's back to tinker with wires and sensors around the child's spine. Others of varying sizes have broken or detached pelvises, legs and skulls.
Welcome to the not-so-glamorous life of a crash-test dummy.
"They take a beating every day, but at the end, the difference is they're saving lives," said Chris O'Connor, president and CEO of Plymouth-based Humanetics Innovative Solutions.
Since 1952, nearly every dummy that's been smashed, burned, crushed or rolled over by a Michigan automaker in the name of vehicle safety has come from the Plymouth-based company. About once a year, they return to the firm's Metro Detroit lab to be re-certified and re-equipped with new limbs and electronic innards.
For the past 30 years, Humanetics has offered different size and age variations from its Hybrid III dummy "family," but recently has expanded its offerings.
Next year it will start selling an obese 273-pound model to reflect a population with an increasingly larger waistline, and it recently began offering a more technically advanced one that can measure more crash analytics, called T.H.O.R.-M.
The dummies are anything but dumb. Each is equipped with dozens of sensors that record everything from spinal contusions to pressure on skulls, legs and ribs. They go for $60,000 to $500,000, and Humanetics sells 25-30 per month.
"It's a very complex business," O'Connor said. "Most people underestimate the complexity. They think of a mannequin in a store ... but they're obviously much more complex and take years to develop."
Despite the high price tag, O'Connor said the dummies turn out to be a bargain, since they can be used over and over for decades.
"It's an expensive piece of test equipment that brings a long-term value for our customers," O'Connor said. "If at the end of the day you can save a life by using it, how can you put a price on it?"
Humanetics sells to the military and transportation industries like rail and airlines, but 70 percent of its business comes from the automotive industry. It sells to every automaker and many suppliers, and about 75 percent of its business comes from outside the U.S.
All of its dummies are made at a factory in Huron, Ohio, but tests and fixes are done at its Plymouth technical center.
Garage/doctor's office
To envision the center, think mechanic's garage meets doctor's office, except these "doctors" are working with vinyl, steel and wires instead of skin, bone and organs.
"Everything comes apart, for the most part," said Brian Lukas, technical service manager.
The dummies must be inspected and go through about seven tests to confirm whether or not all their sensors and body parts respond properly to crashes. The center gets anywhere from two to seven in for service per week.
Humanetics sends workers out to local automakers to pick up their dummies, and they often roll upright into the technical center on specially designed chairs. Out-of-towners disassemble them and send them in packing crates, and the Army sends some in steel coffins.
Many come in broken, with injuries ranging from shattered kneecaps and pelvises, to skinned faces and bent fingers.
"You're working on a puzzle a lot of the times when it comes to fixing things that are broken and testing them," said Michael Gratopp, who works on the damaged equipment. "Every day is a new challenge."
Core principle: Saving lives
As Humanetics enters its 63rd year in business, both the inside and outside of its offerings are changing. The obese dummy that will go on sale next year is meant to mimic a heavier population.
In 1980, just 15 percent of the population was obese. Today, it's 40 percent, and they are more likely to die in a crash, O'Connor said. The fat dummy is based on a person with a body mass index of 35, a weight of 273 pounds and a height of 6-foot-2. A standard dummy weighs about 170 pounds.
"Our core principle is saving lives," O'Connor said. "We can't just save perfect-sized people; we need to look at obese-sized people because it's a significant part of the driving population."
O'Connor said the company is also considering making an elderly version with a curved spine and more vulnerable organs.
Each dummy, no matter the size, comes equipped with sensors and data recorders. Many have bundles of wires that run out of their backs and plug into computers and data-collecting devices, although O'Connor said most can now go wireless.
Despite the changes, he said the company's goals haven't changed since 1952.
"We measure the value of our company on saving lives," O'Connor said. "Every safety attribute on a vehicle, whether its with seat belts or air bags, I think is all based on the crash-test dummy."

Swedish model and actress Fancy Alexandersson loves to be the center of attention at any event. This time the celebrity picked up a rather provocative outfit for herself. The beauty wore a black, translucent polka-dot dress, through which her gorgeous breasts with small nipples shone through. In addition, she supplemented her image with bright makeup, highlighting her insanely sexy lips with bright lipstick.
LA Love The Boss Nude And See Through Selfies
Instagram celebrity LA Love The Boss knows how to pamper her subscribers and get the attention of the public. For example, recently she shared a photo on which she is posing dressed in a transparent mesh outfit, through which her wonderful titties with pierced nipples are clearly visible, and her juicy ass in tight black thongs seems completely naked. And her selfie, on which she holds her black bra with hands, demonstrating her gorgeous tits and her awesome nipples, looks just breathtaking.
Rihanna Posing In Sexy Lingerie Of Her Brand
31-year-old beauty Rihanna has already achieved a lot in life and doesn't stop there. So recently, she presented her own brand of sexy lingerie, which she decided to demonstrate on her gorgeous body. It is simply impossible to resist her charming tits in a translucent yellow bra and her beautiful booty in tight panties. And she was looking so sexy and defiant in the camera, that her pictures seemed even hotter!
Not so long ago, the English actress and reality television personality Danniella Westbrook was noticed resting on the beach, and the nimble paparazzi immediately made a series of juicy shots. The celebrity was absolutely not shy about undressing and was swimming with pleasure without a bra, exposing her round awesome boobs with hard nipples. And after that, the star decided not to stop at this and took off her small narrow black thongs right in the water, having managed to show everyone her wonderful butt.

Las Vegas: 10 Things to Do
Bonus: Liberace Museum, Gun Store and More!
If you've still got time to kill, there are lots of other things you can do in Vegas. You can hit the Liberace Museum; the small, overpriced, but legit Gallery of Fine Art at the Bellagio; and the weird zoo exhibits of tigers and dolphins at the Mirage. You can get Thai food at Lotus of Siam at the strip mall on East Sahara Avenue or, better, the Mexican restaurant in the same mall that serves one dish: a sublime goat taco. You can go to the Gun Store, just off the Strip on Tropicana Avenue, where you can without anything more than a driver's license spend the day shooting Tommy Guns, AK-47s, SAWs, Uzis, M-16s and MP-40s for less than $100. If that doesn't complete your fully American experience in the most American city in America, you can always go to a chapel to marry a stranger.

I love seafood especially prawns. Whenever we go out for a meal it is one of the first things that I look for on the menu closely followed by a steak. It has to be freshly cooked prawns though. None of this already cooked and reheated until it tastes of fishy rubber that some places serve up! This Spicy Seafood Pasta dish is quick and easy to make plus it tastes ah-maze-ing. The chilli gives off the right amount of heat and you get the lovely sweet and peppery taste from the fresh basil. If you are following the Slimming World diet then this is Syn Free providing you don't use fresh pasta or olive oil.
This Spicy Seafood Pasta is packed full of flavour with juicy prawns and calamari in a rich tomato sauce with a kick of chilli and chopped basil. It's also gluten and dairy free too.
Spray your frying pan with spray oil.
Serve with a mixed salad. Plus if you fancy it a bottle glass or two of wine.
You don't just have to use prawns and squid, you could also add scallops, mussels or other seafood that takes your fancy. I used gluten free pasta but feel free to use normal pasta for this dish.
If you try out this recipe or anything else from my blog, I'd really love to hear any feedback!
If you are looking for other seafood dishes:
I love Seafood so much! Adding this to my list of things to make x
I love seafood too, especially prawns! Let me know what you think of it 🙂 xx

Hotel Mousai has just receive the AAA 5 Diamond Award for the fifth year in a row! We are extremely proud of this accomplishment, and also proud to say that we are still the only 5 Diamond hotel in the entire state of Jalisco! In this month's newsletter, we want to share a little bit about what the 5 Diamond Award means, and how it is earned.
The Diamond Certificate Rating System
The travel company AAA has a Diamond Certificate rating system in which they provide guidelines to hotels and to consumers. The five different AAA Diamond Levels describe the kind of experience that AAA members can expect when they visit a particular hotel. This is an important way to communicate with hotel guests the level of comfort they will find when they arrive.
According to AAA, you can think of each additional Diamond on the scale as an indicator of more extensive services and amenities, on a scale from no-frills to highly personalized. One Diamond means a bed, a pillow and a bargain. Two Diamonds means a familiar, casual, affordable setting. Three Diamonds delivers the "comforts of home, minus the effort." Four Diamonds provides a notable splurge for a special occasion. And Five Diamonds are the crown jewel, the ultimate luxury experience. If you stay at a Five Diamond hotel, you can expect the very best of the best – a super comfortable, top luxury stay with impeccable service.
Properties earn the AAA Five Diamond Rating following multiple unannounced evaluations, including anonymous overnight stays and final review by a panel of experts. Each year AAA reviews more than 27,000 hotels, and only 0.4 percent make the Five Diamond list, so the fact that Hotel Mousai has earned Five Diamonds for five years in a row is a very big achievement.
AAA's Diamond rating system covers the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. A total of only 121 hotels throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean received the AAA Five Diamond Rating in the past 12 months.
Five Diamond Lifestyle
Hotel Mousai is the only 5 Diamond rated hotel in the Puerto Vallarta area and moreover, is the only 5 Diamond rated hotel in our entire state. Maintaining our 5 Diamond rating is of the utmost importance to Hotel Mousai, as we strive to be the best of the best in the Banderas Bay and to provide our guests with a level of quality, luxury, and service that they cannot find anywhere else.
Continuing the Tradition of Excellence
Hotel Mousai is honored to receive this most prestigious award again for the fifth time, taking our place on the list beside the giants in our industry.
Only one hotel has maintained the Five Diamond Rating for 43 consecutive years, since 1976 when the Diamond Ratings were first introduced: The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. Fourteen additional hotels have maintained the Five Diamond Rating for 25 or more years. Hotel Mousai is a relative newcomer to the list of industry greats, but we strive to be the very best every year and continue to provide top luxury to our guests, and it fills us with joy to see our efforts being acknowledged. We hope to continue in this tradition for many years to come, and our managers are on task to make sure that happens.

This means conferring with members of the family, friends, or colleagues who have managed consolidation programs themselves. Dig up the reality about debt consolidation loan programs as well as their assorted features.
Choose an agenda that may settle your financial troubles problem whilst you from risk. Every person has many different economic troubles and everyone is equally as bleak.

Sometimes it feels like the universe is literally conspiring against us and that everything is going wrong for us. A person who wants to find happiness must learn to embrace pain. How can this be? The answer lies in understanding the true definition of happiness.
1. Nothing is permanent
Always remember that nothing lasts forever. It is not permanent and all of this shall eventually pass. Things always get better no matter what! Be it a disaster, pain, bad mood, depression, stress, etc… After the storm, comes the rainbow.
2. Worrying will only make it worse
Worry all you want, but it will never make things better if you do. Start thinking of solutions instead. People who spend the most time worrying are the ones who actually accomplish the least.
3. Keep going at all costs
It's okay to feel weak, stressed, sad, or any other negative feeling! It's okay to have all your life messed up; as long as you eventually get up! Take your time, feel the pain, acknowledge it and go on.
4. Life shouldn't be perfect
Just like there's heaven and hell, good and evil, happy and sad, negative and positive… There are ups and downs; and for your life to be balanced and your emotions to be stable, you have to encounter everything and its complete opposite.
5. Acknowledge and embrace
Running away from your problems is the actual problem. Stand up, don't ignore your problems, face them. Finally, make a friend of your problems! Understand and embrace them.. That's the key!
Although you may have to scramble to get out of your current hole, it can be done—and you will do it! Just remember that you have to put up with the worst that life has to offer, in order to eventually arrive at the very best.

Now that the cold, dark winter is over (sort of), it's time to throw open the shutters and take a look at your finances in the spring light. Maybe you haven't been making progress toward your goal, or you want to up your savings even more, or make sure your student loan payments are on track. Whatever the case, here's your periodic reminder to mind your money.
Assuming you follow all of my advice to the letter, and I know that you do, you've been routinely scheduling Personal Inventory Days. Use your April (or May, if April's has already passed) PID to take stock of your financial life.
Specifically, here's what to put on your Financial Spring Cleaning list.
Pay Your Taxes
There's no excuses here, it's long overdue. Just... do it.
Tackle Debt
If you get a tax refund after you complete your taxes and don't have any pressing financial needs, stock some of it in your emergency savings, and use some to pay down any debt you have. With interest rates rising bit by bit, I'd focus on your credit card debt.
Another option: Call and ask for a lower rate. As I wrote about here, it's likely that the only thing keeping you from paying less in interest is picking up the phone.
And if you have student loans, make sure you're paying them right for your situation. You can call up the Student Loans Company to find out
Up Your Security
Last year's Equifax hack put security in the spotlight, but it's important to stay vigilant even now, when the headlines have slowed. As I wrote before, if you were impacted by the breach, you may want to do these things, but even if you weren't it might be time to:
- Put a fraud alert on your accounts
- Freeze your credit (at all three bureaus) unless you're going to buy a home, car, etc. soon
- Consider paying for identity theft protection services, which track loan applications made in your name as well as activity on the dark web
You'll want to pull your free credit reports throughout the year to check for activity (from Equifax, and Experian) and consider downloading an app to track your accounts the rest of the year.
On a more basic level, watch out for emails with spelling or grammatical errors, attachments or those that push the urgency of a situation. "If the message tells you to 'act immediately' or else your 'information will be at risk,' (or something similar) delete the email," Jonas Sickler, director of operations at ConsumerSafety.org, told NBC.
And be mindful of what you're sending yourself. Sensitive financial information shouldn't be emailed around. If your account gets hacked at some point, you're in for quite a headache. If you have done so, change all of your passwords, and delete anything you've sent (and then empty your trash).
Finally, make sure you're using your credit card when shopping online instead of a debit card—your credit card offers better protections.
Check in With Your Career Plan
Where are you in your career? Are you sure it's where you want to be? What can you do to get to the next level? All of these are questions you'll want to make time to answer every once in a while.
You can ask your boss to meet and go over how you're doing and for any feedback they may have. Make sure you're tracking your accomplishments in some sort of easily-accessible file. Perform a Life Audit for more clarity.
Start Planning Your Summer Trips and Activities
Do you know what you and your kids will be doing this summer? Now's the time to make plans and start putting money aside, if you can. "When planning ahead it allows the ability to secure a hotel or campground at a discount, plan meals ahead of time rather than eat every meal at a restaurant, and seek out activities in advance that are free or discounted," writes Ben Wacek, a Certified Financial Planner.
You don't want to be caught off guard by an extra fee or miss out on a weekend beach trip because you didn't plan ahead. And of course, you'll have a better, less stressful time if you start planning now.

Windows Update Log shows Error 0x800f0816 on D630
I have just acquired a new laptop, and yes I already have a thread open to deal with the major Windows Update errors I have been experiencing with that machine. That is an ongoing open item right now.
While I'm getting things fixed, I figured I'd best also check my current laptop for errors.
Here's the good news:
-Current behavior is normal
-Windows update History does not show any errors
-SFC Verify Only shows no errors
-SUR Tool shows no errors
Here's the other news:
-WindowsUpdate Log shows multiple error entries. The first reference to an error I found was "CBS called Error with 0x800f0816."
-CBSpersist logs also show multiple error entries. In the oldest log (2/21/2015), the first reference to an error was "HRESULT = 0x80070490 - ERROR_NOT_FOUND."
Since I don't really know how to read log files, I can't tell if I have a significant problem or not. If I do, I'd like to fix it sooner rather than later. If one of you experts would be willing to take a look at my logs and give me advice, I would really appreciate it
I will post system specs plus the appropriate log files in subsequent posts. Since I am NOT facing a catastrophic issue right now, please help the folks with broken machines first.

This laptop configuration is as follows:
Dell D630

Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7700 @2.40GHz

I'm not sure how to identify the motherboard - sorry!

On June 20th of 2019, at 21: 00-21: 30, 4 unknown young men tried to attack on a group of 11 LGBT people and activists in the "English" park. One of the activists, M.S, when noticed that one of the young men approaches them, she pulled off an electric shocker from the bag, used the electroshock to make noises and scare the group. Then the group aggressively talked with LGBT activists, and during the conversation with the group one of them tried to have a private talk with one of the activists. In order to prevent a possible conflict between the two groups, Lilit Martirosyan immediately called the police, and within a few minutes the police team arrived at the mentioned place. After the arrival of the police, police officers recommended LGBT activists to leave the park. Two of the activists, M.S. and Lilit Martirosyan accompanied by the police, approached the group and tried to understand the situation. The police decided to take them to the police station.

eBook Title for Download :UWB Communication Systems: A Comprehensive Overview (Format : pdf , Language : English)
Plot :
Ultrawideband (UWB) communication systems offer an unprecedented opportunity to impact the future communication world. The enormous available bandwidth, the wide scope of the data rate / range trade-off, as well as the potential for very low-cost operation leading to pervasive usage, all present a unique opportunity for UWB systems to impact the way people and intelligent machines communicate and interact with their environment. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the state of the art of UWB systems from theory to applications. Due to the rapid progress of multidisciplinary UWB research, such an overview can only be achieved by combining the areas of expertise of several scientists in the field. More than 30 leading UWB researchers and practitioners have contributed to this book covering the major topics relevant to UWB. These topics include UWB signal processing, UWB channel measurement and modeling, higher-layer protocol issues, spatial aspects of UWB signaling, UWB regulation and standardization, implementation issues, and UWB applications as well as positioning. The book is targeted at advanced academic researchers, wireless designers, and graduate students wishing to greatly enhance their knowledge of all aspects of UWB systems.

Croatian-German Conversation Dictionary from 1747
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15291/libellarium.v2i2.75
The little Croatian-German dictionary titled Nemske skole navuk is printed on 32 pages of octavo format, without a cover page, and the data on the place and time of printing are contained in the colophon. It is kept at the Museum of Slavonia in Osijek. The data on entry into the inventory register is located at the inner side of the front cover page and reads: 'Entered into the book property register p. 22, no. 278.' The Dictionary was printed in Zagreb by Johann Baptista Weitz, and unlike the two large dictionaries that preceded it, Gazophylaciuma by Belostenac from 1740 and the Lexicon by Jambrešić from 1742, it was designed as a conversation dictionary with selected, i.e. more frequent words grouped by topics. The Dictionary has so far not been presented or analysed in a bibliographic, professional or scientific manner; therefore, it is completely unknown to Croatian science, which was the reason for publishing its re-print in this issue of 'Libellarium'.

Festival of Teej - Introduction
Teej festival is basically a fasting festival for the Hindu women. This festival is celebrated on the third day of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapad or Bhado month that normally comes in the month of August or early September according to English calendar. Hindu women keep fast on this day for the sake of marital bliss and well being of spouse and children. It is also believed that they undergo a purification of their own body and soul.
The festival is a unique combination of rigid fasting and then followed by feasting sumptuously. This festival also marks the arrival of monsoon and hence respite from the oppressive heat of the summer months. The festival derives its name from a small red insect of the same name of Teej that comes out of the soil during rainfall.

Celebration of Teej in Jaipur
In Jaipur, during Teej the pleasant fragrance of the rains moistening the parched land mingles with the gaiety of numerous swings hanging from the rain washed trees. The women dress especially in green and sing songs celebrating the advent of the monsoons. In Jaipur, Teej is known to be dedicated to Goddess Parvati, in commemoration of her union with Lord Shiva. The women folk worship Parvati asking for her blessings for conjugal bliss and happiness. Covering the idol of Teej with a canopy, women take out an elaborate procession that continues for two consecutive days and is watched by young and old alike in large numbers.
Celebration of Teej in Chandigarh

Varied cultural programs are organized in various parts of the city. The women of the family are pampered with lavish gifts and new dresses.
Celebration of Teej in Nepal
Nepalis call the first day of Teej the Dar Khane Din. On this day, the women deck themselves in gorgeous dresses and gather at a place dancing and singing devotional songs and indulging in grand feasts. The second day is of rigid fast while the third day is marked by elaborate pujas and bathing with red mud and the roots and leaves of datiwan bush to absolve themselves of all sins.

Olly the Jack Russell Terrier isn't going to win Best in Show anytime soon, but he won the internet on Monday with his enthusiastic agility-course performance.
The scrappy little rescue dog competed at Crufts (the U.K. version of the Westminster Dog Show) last weekend, and what he lacked in ability and accuracy, he more than made up for with joyful abandon.
The 10-week old adopted pup barreled, face-planted and generally destroyed the course designed for the Rescue Dog Agility contest — leaving his handler, Karen, desperately chasing after him and the British commentator in hysterics.

"He's all over the place, and so he should be," said the voiceover from the NEC Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England. "Wrong way … oh, it doesn't matter."
"Olly is totally crazy. As you can see, he is having a ball."
Our hero tripped over one fence sliding across the fake turf, totally missed another and then simply sprinted out of the arena.

"What a nose dive, and he couldn't care less," the highly amused commentator added.

As I said before, Americans prefer rhetorical fairy tales to unpleasant realities.
"Modern American politicians almost never use their campaign rhetoric to deliver bad news or to challenge the citizenry." Read the Los Angeles Times , The coddled American voter.
And Santorum is about to find out why. Read the Washington Post, Santorum says debt crisis demands immediate cuts in Social Security, even if it hurts.

Lookin Better and Better for Obama
UPDATE: First, good news for the economy, bad news for Republi-CONs.
Now complaints that his proposed tax plan that saves top 1 percenter only $82,000, makes Romney an Obama neo-socialist in disguise?!
It's looking more and more like President Obama for four more years.
"With the Republican presidential field as fractured as ever, talk of a brokered GOP national convention is increasing in Republican circles. And a big reason is that Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is positioned to, at minimum, earn a large enough bloc of delegates in next year's caucuses and primaries to be a real force." Read U.S. News, GOP Nightmare Scenario: A Brokered Convention.
In the meantime, a "rare showdown between House and Senate Republicans over a temporary extension of the payroll tax cut poses a political threat to the party's members on both sides of the Capitol heading into the 2012 elections.
It feeds into President Barack Obama's campaign narrative that House Republicans' obstructionism has resulted in a do- nothing Congress at a time when middle-class Americans need help in a struggling economy. At the same time, it fuels Tea Party opposition to Senate Republicans who teamed with Democrats to pass a two-month extension instead of a longer-term fix." Read Bloomberg, Tax Politics Pose Risk for Republicans.
"Given how [GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell] and House Speaker John Boehner have handled the payroll tax debate, we wonder if they might end up re-electing the President before the 2012 campaign even begins in earnest." Read the Wall Street Journal, The GOP's Payroll Tax Fiasco, How did Republicans manage to lose the tax issue to Obama?
It's all part of "Obama 2.0, a feistier president willing to take the fight to Republicans," with new and improved approval ratings. Read the Washington Post, Post and CNN polls show Obama's fight is working, which includes this graph:
And don't forget, for a "killer calculus of the president's re-election chances," see this prior post, Obama in 2012?

Modern Family: A Man, A Women, and Her First Husband
A relationship in violation of the Defense of Marriage Act, "whereby the federal government defines marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman."
But she says "it's not the legal arrangement, it's the emotional arrangement, that emotional commitment" that makes them family.
Read the Washington Post, A family learns the true meaning of the vow 'in sickness and in health'.

Is the Can at the End of the Road?, An Update
UPDATE V: News that is unlikely to comfort the families of Americans who died in Iraq:"It was one of the deadliest insurgent groups in Iraq in recent years, an Iranian-backed militia that bombed American military convoys and bases, assassinated dozens of Iraqi officials and tried to kidnap Americans even as the last soldiers withdrew.
But now the Shiite-led government of Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki is welcoming the militant group into Iraq's political system, a move that could tilt the nation's center of gravity closer to Iran. The government's support for the militia, which only just swore off violence, has opened new sectarian fault lines in Iraq's political crisis while potentially empowering Iran at a moment of rising military and economic tensions between Tehran and Washington.
The militant group, Asaib Ahl al-Haq, broke away from the fierce Shiite militia commanded by the anti-American cleric Moktada al-Sadr, who has strong ties to Tehran. The American military has long maintained that the group, led by a former spokesman for Mr. Sadr, Qais al-Khazali, was trained and financed by Iran's elite Quds Force — something that Iran denies."
Read The New York Times, Political Role for Militants Worsens Fault Lines in Iraq.
UPDATE IV: Iraq continues to unravel. Read The New York Times, Attacks on Shiites in Iraq Kill at Least 60.
UPDATE III: "With the withdrawal of the last U.S. troops from Iraq, we're finally going to get the answer to the core question about that country: Was Iraq the way Iraq was because Saddam was the way Saddam was, or was Saddam the way Saddam was because Iraq is the way Iraq is — a collection of sects and tribes unable to live together except under an iron fist. Now we're going to get the answer because both the internal iron fist that held Iraq together (Saddam Hussein) and the external iron fist (the U.S. armed forces) have been removed. Now we will see whether Iraqis can govern themselves in a decent manner that will enable their society to progress — or end up with a new iron fist. You have to hope for the best because so much is riding on it, but the early signs are worrying." Read The New York Times, The End, for Now.
UPDATE II: The end of the road? Read the Washington Post, Iraq war draws to a quiet close and Arc of Iraq war told in images and The New York Times, Ravaged and Remade, Iraq Is on Its Own.
And consider an Iraq what-might-have-been.
UPDATE: As we debate the debt ceiling, it should be asked again, after the all the blood and treasure, was the Iraq war worth the price? Before you decide, read The New York Times, U.S. Report Finds Security Deteriorating in Iraq, which reports:"Over the past year, security in Iraq has deteriorated and electricity shortages and corruption have continued unabated, according to a report released Saturday by a special inspector appointed by Congress to oversee Iraq's reconstruction.
The report, released five months before the United States is scheduled to withdraw 47,000 troops from Iraq, paints a bleaker picture of the country's stability than assessments by diplomatic officials."
As asked before, what good did the can kicking do? Read the Guardian, Fears of al–Qaida return in Iraq as US–backed fighters defect.
After the all the blood and treasure, was it worth the price?

What the future holds
There is a lot of talk in the industry right now about e-books and their potential for sales and growth. Publishers are grabbing up electronic rights from their authors in hopes of making a profit in this new market. Authors started it first, actually. Midlisters would get their copy rights back on books that were out of print for 5 to 7 years depending on contract, then they would revise, create a new cover and put them up for sale as e-books on Amazon.com or other places. Electronic book publishers provide editorial services and book covers as well as distribution for a 30 percent royalty rate. Now big NY publishers who all looked down their noses at electronic books are grabbing up e-rights and opening their own sites to sell books that can be read on various venues like the Kindle, Sony e-reader, I-pad, I-phone and even your own laptop.
There has been on-going discussion as to whether authors as a whole should just bypass publishers all together and format and edit their own work and create their own cover art. Then self publish in the e-format. Amazon promises to start offering 70 percent royalties to authors in May. Midlisters such as JA Koranth blog that there is real money to be made here. Check out his blog here. I read his arguments and his amazing paycheck numbers, but read this carefully. Note the vast amount of PR work he has done-7000 letters to libraries, 100 blogs in a month, etc. Also keep in mind that he is a Mystery writer. I think that some genres lend themselves more to e-readers than others. For instance Erotica has done a booming business in the electronic market but romance is relatively straight-lined. A midlist romance author followed Koranth's formula, putting a handful of books up for sale on Amazon and found she didn't have near his revenue stream. NYT Bestselling Science Fiction author John Scalzi wrote a fabulous blog-as a three act play- on reasons why an author needs a publisher. Read it here. Scalzi goes on to comment in another blog how his manuscripts generate jobs for at least ten other people and he doesn't have to pay them. Unlike a DIY (do-it-yourself) publication.
There are many arguments both pro and con here for keeping electronic rights or going DIY-and I don't mean purchasing a vanity press package to self publish. My advice to you as writers is to do A LOT of research on the matter and don't let Koranth's numbers put stars in your eyes. What he does takes a lot of work, dedication, luck and perhaps it doesn't hurt that he has so many hardcover books out first.
I know that I currently spend 12 to 14 hours a day working on writing, revising, marketing, blogs, social networking, etc. And I can tell you that my electronic books-while they have gotten fabulous reviews such as this one from Gotta Read Reviews-aren't even in the same sales ball park as Koranth's. Not even close. But I have my own reasons for e-publishing and am happy with the results.
I find this turn in the market place interesting and look forward to discovering what happens next. My advice to writers-as always, do your research. Know your reasons why you are doing what you do and ensure the how will back up your why. I promise if you do that you'll never be scammed and you'll never be disappointed. There are no shortcuts here. But it seems there is room to be creative. Cheers!

I find I prefer to concentrate on writing. I may not make the royalties I would by doing my own e-books, but I do like that my publisher is doing the work instead of me.

Interesting reading, Nancy. Thanks for the links.
At this stage in my career (unpublished but hopeful!), I agree with Jane. I concentrate on the writing and hope to find a publisher who loves it as much as I do and will put their clout behind it.
But, it is nice to know there are viable options and it's great to be educated about them. I appreciate your sharing more about the issue :)

Thanks for the 'flip side' of Joe's comments. He makes no bones about having busted his ... er... butt to get the sales he has, but it's interesting to hear that genre has something to do with it. I'm going to forward your blog to my writers group. Interesting read!

Great analysis. Marketing does seem to be slightly different for different books, and what works for one might not work for another, so I'm always fascinated to have an inside look at how some of succeeded (or not, for that matter!)

Tomorrow is my friend Brittany's bachelorette party in the Chicago suburbs and also starts my week away from home! Saturday and Sunday I will be in the Chicago Suburbs and the city and Monday I fly out to the San Francisco Bay area to visit the boy – super excited for that! Cali twice in one year – unreal! And I've never been to Northern Cali so his planning an awesome week for us has me with a constant countdown in my head!
Brittany is getting married in July and she asked me to be in the wedding. Yes, I am indeed flying back from Turkey the week of the wedding so that I can still partake. There is no turning down a wedding in my world (:
Britt loves anything cake batter – specifically Cake Batter Truffles that I made for my friend Keri's bachelorette party last summer, but I thought I would try something different since Britt gave me the freedom to try out whatever I thought would be good (naturally with cake batter involved though).
Ingredients: recipe adapted from The Girl That Ate Everything
1 box of Corn Chex (12 cups)
1 package of vanilla almond bark (12 squares)
1 1/2 cup vanilla cake mix
1/2 cup powdered sugar
shortening (optional – but helps thin out the almond bark)
Melt the almond bark, add shortening 1 Tbsp. at a time if you are having thinning difficulties.
While almond bark is melting, put the chex in a big bowl or big bag (you want to be able to shake – I used a huge tupperware that has a lid)
In another bowl mix the cake mix and powdered sugar
Pour the melted almond bark over the chex, cover in sprinkles (to your liking – the more you use the more colorful your end product)
Stir and mix well
Pour the cake mix/powdered sugar over the chex, seal your container and go to town with shaking.
Uncover and voila you are finished.
Super fast and quick – just like puppy chow or poppy chow (:
hmmm I wonder how cake batter poppy mix would taste…
Cheers to addicting and lethal treats and bachelorette parties!

The Cullinan Group, one of South Africa's biggest tourism companies comprising 25 businesses, expects results for this year to be well up from 2018, which was a record year for the Group, says CEO, Michael Tollman.
In an exclusive interview, he told TU: "Our inbound tourism and financial services divisions have performed exceptionally well in 2019 and this added to the Group's overall performance; whereas our domestic businesses have traded in a tough economic environment locally.
"We are cautiously optimistic the Group will probably exceed this year's performance in 2020. A lot of this has to do with internal measures taken in our business around technology and we should start to see these benefits next year.
"From a hedging perspective, the weaker rand has been good for the inbound division. If the rand weakens further, this should further impact positively on our inbound business.
"We are positive about Southern Africa as a destination and we are looking for further inbound business opportunities. We have a lot of synergy and buying power in the inbound division," Tollman said.
Following the expansion of its inbound tour services division with the acquisition of inbound tour operator Followme2Africa in 2018 and the opening of Cullinan Namibia, he said the Group was now looking for further acquisitions in Kenya and Tanzania, reflecting its confidence in Africa as a destination.
"We are also looking at other infrastructure and product acquisitions in South Africa that would add unique experiences, such as camping, sightseeing and other destinations outside of the usual norm," he added.
Meanwhile, he said, Cullinan would continue to invest in its coach charter fleet based on optimism around the future growth of tourism to Southern Africa. "Our fleet today is the youngest and largest in Africa and we will continue to invest in it in 2020 and the years ahead. We plan to grow the transport division in 2020, including varied sizes of vehicles and coaches," he said.
