The tale of a Northern land starts here : The long-beloved Shiroi Koibito
A combination of langue de chat cookie and white chocolat
A langue de chat is a white cookie that's baked until the edges brown. The carefully controlled oven temperature achieves a crisp bake. White chocolate is sandwiched between the freshly baked langue de chat biscuits. This chocolate is an original recipe made just for Shiroi Koibito. Made with this great combination of langue de chat and our original chocolate, Shiroi Koibito has been popular for over 40 years.
Langue de chat
A langue de chat is a french baked cookie with a light texture that easily melts in your mouth. The dough is made by mixing equal amounts of sugar and butter that has softened at room temperature, and adding flour, egg white and vanilla. The dough is formed into long, thin bars and baked in the oven. And the crisp Shiroi Koibito is ready.

Despite international censure, the Pakistani establishment's alliance with its radical Islamist groups remains a deep-rooted part of its political life. The handling of a three-week long stand-off between the government in Islamabad and a clutch of radical groups blockading the capital city displayed the influence even minor Islamist groups wield in Pakistan. About the same time, the Pakistani government chose to ignore likely international reactions to release Lashkar-e-Taiba leader Hafiz Saeed who had been under house arrest since January this year.
The release brought forth an out pouring of support to the leader of a UN banned terrorist organisation, who is known as the mastermind of the Mumbai terror attacks. Former President Pervez Musharraf went on to claim in a press interview that he is the "biggest supporter" of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and its founder Hafiz Saeed, though it was during his tenure that the LeT was banned in Pakistan. But the Pakistani government has chosen to ignore the strong opprobrium it has faced from the US and other countries. The Nawaz Sharif government had placed Saeed under house arrest under pressure from Washington, but his release was on the cards after the present government withdrew all charges of terrorism in October claiming that there was no evidence against him.
The Pakistani government faced a torrid three weeks as the recently formed Tehreek-i-Labaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLY) together with two small groups blocked off the main road from Rawalpindi to Islamabad demanding the resignation of the Law Minister Zahid Hamid. The demand rose over an amendment to the Election Law 2017 that made a change in the oath for legislators, which the protestors termed as blasphemous. The government of Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi initially underestimated the determination of the demonstrating groups. The proposed amendment was withdrawn but it had no effect. The protests paralysed Islamabad and spread to other cities like Lahore and Karachi.
Pressured by a court order to clear the roads, the government used the police to remove the protestors, but the ham-handed operation led to violent clashes resulting in the death of six persons and injuries to about 200 persons, many of them police personnel. As violence spread to other cities, the government was forced to turn to the Army to restore order.
An official army tweet saying that army chief Gen Qamar Bajwa had spoken to the PM and "suggested that both sides avoid violence", made it clear that the army was not willing to intervene. Its tweet actually equated the government and the protesting parties. Later as the violence escalated, the army mediated a deal with the radical groups that had the government accepting almost all their demands. The agreement carried the signature of Major Gen Faiz Hameed of the ISI and credited the army chief and his team for the special effort that led to agreement being signed, according the Dawn newspaper.
Pakistan's civilian governments remain vulnerable to protests by radical groups that operate in the public arena. The term of the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) party in government that began in 2013 has been buffeted with political storms. In 2014, a demonstration organised by cricketer turned politician Imran Khan and non-resident cleric who occasionally dabbles in politics, Tahirul Qadri had blocked off Islamabad for four months to protest largescale electoral rigging. Many Pakistanis believed that the protests had the tacit support of the Pakistani army.
The current denouncement has been building up since the PML(N) leader and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was ousted following a court verdict that disqualified him from holding political office.
Sharif has called it a political conspiracy by the military establishment to keep him out of power, but he has managed to hold his party together and it was popularly believed that he would remain a strong force in the federal elections next year.
The 2014 election was hailed as a strengthening of Pakistan's fragile democracy as the previous Pakistan People's Party government led by President Asif Ali Zardari had completed a full five year term, the first civilian government to do so, with a peaceful transfer of power to the victorious PML(N) then in the opposition. Pakistan has a history of elected governments being ousted for various reasons from military coups to corruption scandals being used to get them out of office.
The PLY and its fringe allies have managed to build up their stature with their capacity to hold a long protest and have it resolved largely in their favour. The Pakistani army has acted as it is a separate entity with its own agenda. the current state of affairs in Pakistan seem to indicate that the mainstream political parties with a weakened Nawaz Sharif may not be able to keep the influence of the radical Islamist groups in check before the elections next year.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Model X' started by Signaturex, Jan 2, 2016.
Does the sig X have dual charging. I'm confused. If not why. I can't find anything in my specs.
Single charger. Either a 48Amp or 72Amp.
Signature cars all get the 72amp, no option.
Production cars come with a 48amp charger, option to upgrade to a single 72amp charger. Need to use the Easter Egg on the order page to get it to show up. (Just type in "Charger" with the screen up, no text input field)
The Sig X comes with a single 72A. The regular X comes with a single 48A, unless you use a special code during ordering to see the 72A option and select it.
The S comes with either a single 40A or dual 40A chargers.
There is no DUAL charger option for the X. Single 48A or single 72A.
Why doesn't it have the dual charger. From my understanding you can get it to 58 miles per hour of charging.
My X charges at about 46 mph
Are you using the wall connector or a normal 240 connector. I.e. How many amps are you running to it? Trying to work what to get fitted.
Scuttlebutt is that there was insufficient physical space for two chargers. The upgrade option offers almost as much as the Model S dual option. 72a v. 80a.
I am using HPWC set to 80A. The attached picture shows a charging session.
Are you using the portable cable that came with the car or did you purchase the $700 permanent one.
I had one off the official installation guys around and he was quoting to install a 50 amp 240 volts. Which I think it will max out the possible speed. Running the car off normal 120 volt till we get it sorted. Got to run the conduit a long way so I don't want to get it wrong.
I have a free 1" conduit that runs part of the way. Do you know what size conduit you had to use.
A 50amp @ 240v circuit (most likely a nema 14/50 outlet) will charge at 40A. If you buy the 72A charger for the X, the only way to take full advantage of it would be to buy a HPWC from Tesla and run a 90A or 100A circuit.
A 90 amp circuit won't work unless you buy an old Wall Connector that had a dip switch for 72 amps. The new ones don't have that option.
There is no need for two chargers at 40A each (total 80A) like the S can have, because the one charger the Signature X has is 72A. You're getting about the same charging capacity the S has with dual chargers, but with one larger charger.
To use the full 72A of a Sig X, you will need the HPWC with it's own cable. That device has dip switches that can be set to how much power you want to deliver. Our's was set to 80A, even though the car can only take 72A (which is fine). However, to pull steady 80A (or probably 72A), you will need a 100A breaker. From the breaker box to the HPWC, our electrician used 3 gauge wire.
One other point, we were considering a 50A outlet and not buying the $750 HPWC. However, if you do not have the HPWC, you either have to take your charging cable out of the trunk and plug in both ends and then roll it back up on stow it in the trunk after charging or) buy a second charging cable to leave plugged into the garage outlet for $650. For us, the extra $100 for the HPWC was an easy $100 and we love the convenience and the clean look.
No, you don't have to do either. Most people who use the UMC in their garage keep it plugged in and hanging on a wall hook. It's only necessary to take it in the car if you're going out of town. Even then you're unlikely to need it as you don't use it for supercharging or J1772s (but I take it just in case).
Max. Thank you so much for this info. Would you happen to know what size conduit was needed to pull the wires through.
The exterior width of the conduit is 1.5" I do not know how much room is left in the conduit. They may have used a larger conduit than necessary.
- - - Updated - - -
Technically, you are of course correct. I just would never give a new EV owner the advice to not have a charging cable with them unless they are going to need it. That adds another level and planning to driving that new EV owners may not be comfortable with and could limit them from a spur of the moment trip outside their range comfort level. This is just my humble opinion and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Many factors in conduit sizing. Type of wire, distance, wire size, load etc. Maybe use a qualified electrician to advise on your installation.
Conduit Fill Calculator
I got the dual chargers on my MS and then found out it would cost 3K to install another panel and more power from the pole. I was bummed and didn't do it. But I have never had an issue at all with charging at 40amps. Not one. So, I guess I wasted however much it cost me for the option.
Lessons learned.
This is all fantastic information for newbies to EV like me. Is there an FAQ somewhere (perhaps in the Model S forum?) that summarizes all of the little details to make sure to ask the electrician for (like 100A breaker instead of 90A; 3 gauge wire; size of conduit: etc.)? Thanks!

In the intest of keeping the conversation going, here are some comments I've received so far:
Honestly, I don't believe that this type of work is sustainable. It might have felt like you worked this much, but you probably didn't. 100 hours per week is 14 hours a day, every day including weekends. Assuming you need some time to sleep, eat, and presumably shower and commute, that means you did nothing else at all for years on end. I think we all have crunch times like this (proposal deadlines, thesis writing, class preparation, etc.) but to work like this non-stop would mean you have no outside life whatsoever. (And certainly Facebook and reading blogs would be out!) This letter is saying that not only should you live such a life but you should be happy to do it or else you will deservedly fail at becoming 'one of them'. I agree that only 40 hours may not be realistic (though I would argue that's because we work inefficiently) but there is a huge difference between 40 and 80-100.
Point taken. As Saurabh elaborates in the Facebooks:
I feel like there is a broad range of interpretation to the comment from the original email: "most will tell you that they worked 80-100 hours/week in graduate school". No doubt there are times when one needs to do this; you gave a good example, and I did the same in grad school at times: observing runs, before proposal/thesis deadlines, etc. Those crunch times are the ones that come to mind first (I particularly think about the months before turning in my thesis), but they are not representative, and I think this leads to the memory bias that others have mentioned (and I think your blog post is an example).
However, the email implies that this level of work hours should be the norm. There is no way I spent that much time, averaged over all of grad school. Maybe 60 hrs/week on average, but not 80 or 100. I think that would be an unhealthy level, and not one to encourage on a regular basis. In fact, if astronomers could get out of the habit of doing things last minute (ha!) even those infrequent cases of crazy schedules could be reduced.
Another reader calls bullshit:
Yeah, I'm going to have to politely call bullshit on averaging 80-100 hours per week.
There are 168 hours per week. Give yourself ~50 hours of sleep, ~1hr/day hygiene, ~2hrs/day of eating, ~1hr/day of getting to/from the office, and ~1hr/day of household chores. Add 80 hours of work, and you're out of hours.
So I guess I was addressing the notion of working more than 9-5, qualitatively, while whiffing on the quantitative details. My bad! I think 50-60 hours/week is more representative of what I do on average. I wake up at 5:30-6:00am, work 2 hours from home, go to campus ~8:30-5pm. Then I put in another 2 hours in the evening. I take one weekend day off, so this comes out to be about 11 hours/day * 6 days/week = 66 hours/week, not all equally productive (does writing this blog post count as productivity?). Figure an 80% efficiency factor and its closer to 50 hours/week. Certainly longer hours than a typical 9-5 job, but then again, I've never had such a job. Comments are welcome from industry foks!
Evgenya writes:
I completely agree with you on this point... The only times I find myself really working only 40 hours per week, is when I'm doing something I don't really want to be doing. I use it as a metric for how excited I am about the current task/project/proposal. When I'm doing what something I am truly excited about, which as you say, will result in me knowing something about the Universe nobody yet knows, then putting in the "extra" hours is not a chore but a complete pleasure. And since I'm reading your blog and not working at this very moment, makes me think I'm not very excited about what I need to working on today. hmmm... *switching gears today*
Be sure to check out Jason Wright's post here. A snippet
Yes, it's incontrovertibly true that of otherwise identical students putting in 40 and 80 productive hours per week, respectively, the 80 hr/wk student will have a better cv and be more employable. Pointing out that the 60-80 hr/wk students are your primary competition for the "best" jobs is perfectly true. But that depends on what you think the "best" jobs are, and whether you actually want to do what's necessary to get them.And Julianne Delcanton here:
However, what made the letter notable was that put in writing clear confirmation of pretty much every fear that students have about how they're viewed and what they're expected to sacrifice for "success". On one level, it's perhaps good to have this all out in the open, rather than having a secret set of criteria that students are never told about. However, the criteria listed are, frankly, kind of nuts. Kelle Cruz at AstroBetter and Ethan Siegal have gone through some of the highlights, with most of the outrage coming in response to the implication that failure to work 80-100 hours a week (or simply to not want to work 80-100 hours a week) was a sign that scientific research might not be for you.Finally, via email:
I thought your response is the best that I have seen so far, and certainly more along my way of thinking than some responses I have read. I honestly didn't get that wound up reading the email as I feel like it was saying, if you want to be a research Prof at the top schools, you won't get there by putting in 40 (or 60) or less hours - and that is honest and true. For a long time I did put the crazy hours in, but I realized early on that I didn't want to be a research prof anyway but still wanted to be in astronomy and found my own way of doing that, successfully, in a manner that suited what I wanted to get out of the astronomy world and life in the bigger picture.

Fermanagh defender Kane Connor believes that they can learn from their defeats to Donegal and Kildare this year.
In an otherwise positive year, Fermanagh struggled against Division One sides Donegal (Ulster SFC final) and Kildare (SFC Qualifiers), although they did beat Monaghan in the provincial campaign.
The step up in class was a bridge too far for Rory Gallagher's charges and Connor states in the Fermanagh Herald that they must learn from those type of games.
"We've had a fine year with promotion to Division 2 and reaching the Ulster final, but I suppose the two defeats to Donegal and Kildare will hurt us and it shows us what is needed to get up to pace with the bigger counties," said Connor.
"We didn't start the Kildare game the way we wanted and when we conceded the early goal and then a number of points we were then immediately playing catch up.
"I'll just probably watch back the game on TV and try and see what we could have improved on, and then take my mind off football for a while."Tweet

So the dreaded day is upon us, and suddenly it becomes apparent that we all have to start
thinking panicking about the costumes that we hadn't planned. A time for stocking up on sweets and carving pumpkins for the the sheer entertainment of trick or treaters. All in the name of good fun, I have collated some images of the more fashion friendly costume ideas I have found for all you fashionistas. I will be working this Halloween, thus I will not be attempting any of these looks my self so I will leave it to you to enjoy these and comment telling me what you're doing this Halloween. xox
Choose this one and you could have the only genuinely scary outfit in the building – best dressed. How you dress it up I will leave to you and your imaginations.
Saw: This one is very creative, very impressive and (although it may not look it) easy, easier than than constructing a full blown costume!
This Halloween/fancy dress look is growing increasingly popular and I know why.. It's easy yet really effective with some face paint and a sharpie – or something a little less permanent.
These Medusa and Black Swan inspired looks are simple but I can 97% guarantee all the other Tinker Bell's, Bunnies and Cavewomen wouldn't have thought of it.
This creative, artistic take on the classic tiger revamps the typical halloween costume into a very sophisticated impressive version.
Happy Halloweening!!

War Eagle Extra
Auburn running backs sort out roles
AUBURN, Ala. — Ben Tate might not be the fastest running back on the Auburn roster, an honor that goes to speedy Hargrave Military Academy transfer Onterio McCalebb, but he's tired of being pigeonholed as the team's power back.
"Some people always tell me when I run, I never look fast," Tate said. "I'm like, 'Really? Well race me.'"
The 5-foot-11, 217-pound Tate ran a 4.4-second 40-yard dash when the team was timed before Auburn's pro day. That's just as fast as tailback Mario Fannin, who is largely considered by outsiders to be the speedier of the two.
Tate, who puts himself among the fastest players on the team along with cornerbacks Walt McFadden and Neiko Thorpe and wide receiver Harry Adams, thinks it's his longer stride that makes him look slow.
"Most of the guys on our team think I'm fast," Tate said. "But everybody else, they be like, 'I don't know.'"
Tate ran for 664 rushing yards last season, a disappointing dropoff after he put up 903 yards and eight touchdowns in 2007. So far, he's drawn strong praise. Running backs coach Curtis Luper thinks he can be a 1,000-yard back. Offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn likes what he's seen in the early going.
"He has that physical edge," Malzahn said, "that mentality that we're looking for."
While Tate is quick to point out his speed, he still won't go up in any direct competition against McCalebb, who was clocked at 4.3 seconds in the 40.
"I won't race him," Tate said.
Pierre-Louis on long road back
Wide receiver Philip Pierre-Louis spends most of practice watching, the orange non-contact jersey preventing him from getting in when the action gets heavy.
"At times, I feel a little frustrated, but that's what comes with injuries," said Pierre-Louis, who is still recovering from a torn right ACL. "So I'm just taking it one day at a time. Soon enough I'll be out there."
Pierre-Louis, who was expected to play a big part of Tony Franklin's offense, hurt himself on the first play of last season. He didn't think it was serious, even jogging off the field under his own power. It wasn't until they tested his knee than he found out about the ACL. Six months later he's still in the recovery process, wearing a brace to protect his knee.
The 5-foot-8, 157-pound receiver isn't sure yet how he will fit in Malzahn's offense, but the coordinator isn't turned off by the redshirt freshman's diminutive size.
"A lot of people say little guys can't be receivers," Malzahn said. "But I always look at it, 'What's their range?' I've seen some little guys in the past that had great range and they played like a big receiver."
Cole impresses early on
Coaches are usually hesitant to single anybody out early in spring practice, but safeties coach Tommy Thigpen likes what he sees so far out of sophomore Drew Cole.
"On every play, he strains his body," Thigpen said. "He really wants to learn it."
The 5-foot-11, 192-pound Cole played in 11 games last year as a true freshman, mostly on special teams. With Zac Etheridge (shoulder) in a non-contact jersey, Cole has moved up to working at strong safety with the second team, while Christian Thompson works with the ones.
Extra points
Malzahn said the team should have the majority of its base offense installed by the end of next week. ... Defensive coordinator Ted Roof singled out junior outside linebacker Craig Stevens for the second straight day. "Funny how it keeps happening, huh?" Roof said. "He's very coachable. He's a salty veteran." ... Add guard Byron Isom to the bulked-up offensive lineman club. The junior is up to 300 pounds, a 15-pound increase from last year. He'd like to be at 305 for the season.

I am just wondering if anyone can shed any information on any of my past lives.
I am curious because I have a love of creative things (I make jewellery and other things from beads and other items). I also like poetry (reading and writing), love reading Shakespeare and have an interest in many things New Age. No one in my family has any interest in any of these things.
I would be interested in taking a spiritual journey and seeing where that leads me as I am not sure why I am here sometimes
My name is Amanda and my birthday is 27th April 1981
Anything would be greatly appreciated

'He loves her for all those qualities'23 July 2013
I just finished the 19th and final Amelia Peabody mystery, The Tomb of the Golden Bird (by Elizabeth Peters). I can't remember the last time I stayed up so late to read a book, or the last time I cried after reaching the final pages.
For the past six months, Amelia (I feel as though we're on a first-name basis) and her family have been a daily part of my life. Their adventures — every year, another dead body! — are sometimes (often) eye-rollingly melodramatic, but the characters are some of the most vivid of any I have read.
I loved the plucky lady archeologist from the start, and she has easily become one of my favorite female characters (even despite her repeated digs at journalists, who rank only slightly higher than murderers in her book). It's hard to do justice describing her, but I think Amelia's son, Ramses, probably does it best:
"She is a handsome lady, and she has many admirable qualities. But to my father she is quite simply the most beautiful, desirable, intelligent, amusing, exasperating, infuriating, wonderful woman on the face of the earth. He loves her for all those qualities, including the ones that drive him wild."

Why the 'Neighborhood Integrity Initiative' would worsen L.A.'s affordability crisis via LA Times
"But a moratorium on development would hurt anyone who hasn't yet put down roots, including those struggling to pay rent in this increasingly pricey city. This should be obvious, but apparently it's not: Without new development the price of housing skyrockets. Restrictive zoning keeps rents high or, in a city experiencing significant population growth, raises them. That's supply and demand."

It is Siva only who causes bondage and Mukti for the Jivas. It is Siva who makes the Jivas realise their essential Divine Nature. Siva made Maya as the body, senses and the Universe and thrust the Jivas into the Maya. He created the idea of egoism, 'I'-ness in them. He bound them in Karma and made them experience pleasure and pain according to the nature of their Karmas, virtuous actions or vicious deeds. This is the stage of bondage of the Jivas.
Gradually it is Siva only who releases them from the fetters of egoism, Karma and Maya and makes them shine as Siva. This is the state of Moksha or freedom. It is only through the grace of Lord Siva, they attain the state of final emancipation.
The Jivas have no independence, when they are under the influence of the three impurities, i.e., Anava, Karma and Maya. They are endowed with a little knowledge (Alpajnana).
The Jiva must first know his nature and his relationship with Lord Siva in order to attain His grace. Life or Prana is in the body. Lord Siva is within the Prana. He is the Prana of Pranas, and yet He is distinct from the Pranas and body. If there is no Prana in the body, the body becomes a corpse. It cannot perform any action. Siva is the support for this body, Prana and Jiva. The Jiva cannot do any action without Siva. It is Siva who illumines the intellect. Just as the eye cannot see without the light of the sun, although it is endowed with the power to see, so also the intellect cannot function without the light of Lord Siva.
The four Sadhanas, viz., Charya, Kriya, Yoga and Jnana are the four steps to attain Salvation. They are like the bud, flower, unripe fruit and ripe fruit.
Lord Siva gradually frees the individual souls from egoism, Karma and Maya. The Jivas gradually become disgusted with the sensual pleasures. They become balanced in pleasure and pain. Through the grace of the Lord they understand that Karma is the cause for births and deaths.
They begin to do actions for the Lord, serve the devotees of the Lord and attain purity of mind. They understand that the soul or Siva is distinct from the body, senses and mind and is beyond the reach of mind and speech. They get initiation into the significance of 'Om Namah Sivaya', the Panchakshara Mantra and meditate on Siva.
They practise Siva Yoga. Their hearts melt. Seer, sight and seen vanish. All the activities of senses, mind and intellect cease. They bathe Lord Siva with the stream of Divine Love that is generated in their heart and offer their heart as flower unto the Lord.
They hear the sound 'Chilambosai' and march forward through the path of the sound and behold the vision of Nataraja in the Chidakasa and are immersed in the ocean of Sivananda. They become one with the Lord, just as camphor melts in the fire.

Fred Barnes argues that House Republicans need to pass an immigration reform bill along the lines of the Senate's measure in order to preserve their majority status. His main contention is that the public now realizes that there is a serious immigration problem and, with Republicans in control of both chambers, will blame the GOP if no measure to deal with the problem is enacted.
Barnes is more astute about these things than I am. I would argue, nonetheless, that the best chance for House Republicans as a group to win in November lies in making sure that a Senate-style bill does not pass, and to campaign on the basis of (a) having blocked amnesty and inadequte border security provisions and (b) representing the only obstacle to that approach. If conservative and moderate voters believe that a Republican House is all that stands between this country and the mass influx of aliens, both legal and illegal, over the next two decades, the chances of the Republicans maintaining control are good, or at least maximized.
Assuming that this is good politics, what about the merits? It is true that if Republicans lose the House then Congress might well pass (and the president sign) a package that is less serious than the present Senate bill about enforcing the border. However, things aren't at the point that Repubicans should assume defeat no matter what. Moreover, this Congress and the next do not constitute the last chance to do something about the border. The problem of border security is urgent, but that doesn't mean that we should pass a deeply flawed bill that, because of its lack of wholehearted enforcement and the prospect of something close to amnesty, is unlikely to make our border appreciably more secure.
UPDATE: David Frum sees it more or less the same way I do:
Barnes is not entirely wrong here. If the session ends without an immigration control bill, the result will be a political blow to the GOP. The problem is that if the session ends with the passage of the Senate's immigration bill (as Barnes suggests it should) the result will be a political catastrophe for the GOP.

SAN DIEGO – The man accused of killing his stepfather in a staged robbery had no reason to kill the man, whom he saw as a protector from his mother's abuse, a defense attorney said during opening statements in the man's murder trial Monday afternoon.
Nathaniel Gann, 20, is being tried in the same courtroom as his 19-year-old sister, Brae Hansen, in the shooting death of their stepfather, Timothy MacNeil, on July 19, 2007.
Gann is accused of firing four shots at his stepfather, including a fatal shot to the back of the head. A previous jury that heard Gann's case declared a mistrial in November.
This is the first trial for Hansen, who is accused of hatching the plot and helping her brother commit the slaying.
Both Hansen and Gann, whose cases are being heard by separate juries, have been charged with murder and a special circumstance allegation of lying in wait.
A jury heard opening statements in Hansen's case Monday morning. A separate jury for Gann heard opening statements in the afternoon. They will all return Tuesday to begin hearing evidence in the trial.
Prosecutor George Bennett said Hansen plotted the killing in detail. The siblings, he said, tried to make it look as though MacNeil, a 63-year-old attorney, was killed during a robbery at his Rolando home.
Bennett later told Gann's jury that witnesses reported seeing a man run from MacNeil's home after the shooting. One of the witnesses saw the intruder get into a truck that was the same make, model and color as Gann's.
DNA found on the gun used in the shooting matched that of Hansen, Gann and their mother, Doreen, who previously owned the gun, Bennett said.
The prosecutor also told jurors that Gann "shared details only the killer would know" to a Phoenix inmate at a jail where he was being kept in custody.
Gann's defense attorney, Ricardo Garcia, described his client to jurors as a young man who endured extensive abuse from his mother, who suffered from serious mental health problems.
The abuse, Garcia said, "was violent and it was excessive. ... She would beat Nathaniel with a 2-by-4 (piece of wood) and tie him up to chairs," Garcia said.
Gann moved away to Arizona to live with his grandmother at the age of 12 to avoid his mother's abuse, Garcia said. MacNeil had already married his mother and Gann saw his stepfather as a protector from some of his mother's violent episodes, Garcia said.
The mother overdosed on pills in 2006.
The defense attorney also told jurors Gann's fingerprints were not found on the gun and said his client did not have gunshot residue on his hands.
Earlier in the day, a jury for his sister, Brae Hansen, heard attorneys' opening statements in her case.
Hansen's defense attorney, Troy Britt, conceded his client set the plan for the killing in motion, but tried to stop it before it happened.
Bennett told jurors Hansen lived with MacNeil since she was a little girl and he treated her as if she were his biological daughter. He took her on trips all over the world, he said.
The day of the shooting, police found her with her hands tied behind her back and did not initially consider her a suspect, Bennett said.
"Up until that point in time, the evidence will show that Brae Hansen had been a good actress," Bennett said.
Hansen, he said, told police a masked gunman killed MacNeil. But her story changed in subsequent interviews with a police detective, he said.
"She slipped. She used a name. She called the intruder 'Nate'," Bennett said.
Britt, Hansen's defense attorney, said his client plotted the killing with her brother, who at one point suggested hiring a hit man.
The lawyer said Hansen was an "immature 17-year-old" who made a bad decision. She had been mad at MacNeil and wanted him dead, he said. However, she had a change of heart and pleaded with Gann to stop the plot, the attorney said.
Britt told jurors the issue as to whether Hansen is guilty or not "is her withdrawal" from the plan.
"She made a horrible decision. I'm asking for a not-guilty verdict because she wanted to get out of it," the defense attorney said.
If convicted, the siblings could be sentenced to life in prison without parole.

We finally had a rainy spell this winter during our drought here in California. One morning the car actually slipped pretty severely! The road situation was actually very extreme. I was driving on a very unusual pavement where half the roadway was a large grate — probably five feet in length. So two of my wheels were on wet slick pavement and the other two were traversing this highly unusual grate. For a brief instant the car definitely swerved and scared me a bit but the quickly corrected itself as nothing had happened. I rarely actually take this particular section of road, but I vaguely remember it being dicey in the past. I suspect this unusual grate was installed to correct severe flooding problems.
Late last year we had a serious cold snap and the garage one morning was around 40 degrees Fahrenheit (about 5 degrees Celsius). To my surprise, I actually had a dashed yellow line — limiting regen. While parked the car uses as little energy as possible to keep the battery warm in order to avoid the energy wasting vampire drain. In cold weather you can drive your car with a cold battery, but the regeneration of energy into the battery is limited. After only a couple of miles of driving, the battery warmed up and the yellow line disappeared.
As I earlier reported, I did a number of supercharger tests where I drained my battery down to 0 rated range. While intentionally draining the battery, the upper limit of power was reduced — indicated by the dashed yellow line. I don't remember the exact rated range left before the power was limited but it was at a significantly lower level than normal. The car still had enough pep to very comfortably drive.
I also noticed in the rain serious impact to the rear facing camera. I think this is a problem with all cars. I had grown a little too dependent on the camera during driving instead of the traditional mirrors and head turning.

We recently reached out to winners of the 2018 TAA Textbook Awards and asked them to answer some questions about their textbook writing. The first installment of this four-part series focused on why they decided to write their textbook, and how they got started. The second installment focused on what they do to boost their confidence as a writer, how they fit writing time into their schedule, and what software they use.
This third installment in the four-part series focuses on which pedagogical elements in their textbook they are most proud of, and what involvement they have had in marketing their book. [Read more…]

Automated Assessment of High Throughput Hypotheses on Gene Regulatory Mechanisms Involved in the Gastrin Response
Systems Biology is an integrated approach to build and simulate biological models from a variety of data sources in order to generate and validate new research hypotheses. In its most basic form, a hypothesis may propose a biological relationship between two biological components like a protein and a gene. Such binary relation hypotheses may be the subject of experimental validation and form building blocks for assembly into larger models. Today's high throughput experiments are capable of producing vast amounts of data that allow the assertion of large numbers of binary relationships. We have devised a general approach to semi-automatically convert experimental data into individual research hypotheses. The formalised hypotheses in our example specify possible interactions between two components that are part of a general regulatory transcriptional network.

Biological system
Our biological system is an in vitro cell culture treated with gastrin, a stomach peptide hormone with pleiotropic effects. Gene expression time profiles were recorded with transcriptome microarrays at 11 time points covering a 14h gastrin response. We found ~3000 genes with significantly changed mRNA levels (Bruland et al., 2011) and named these 'target genes' (TG).
We built a partially automated pipeline that performs reasoning over all possible relationship hypotheses derived from our microarray results. These hypotheses concern binary interactions between putative protein regulators (with mRNA levels serving as their proxy) and target genes:
Protein X – (up/downregulates) – TG Y
Hypotheses are initially formulated by considering every protein encoded by an expressed gene in our model cell line (~10.000) as a candidate regulator of every other expressed gene, resulting in 100 million potential binary interactions. An elaborate reasoning process is then used to 'upgrade' or 'downgrade' specific hypotheses, based on the assignment of scores. Cumulative scores provide a means to sort hypotheses for supporting evidence and priority for subsequent experimental validation. Scores were derived from a large number of sources including biological background information including Gene Ontology and other available sources of annotation of function of the putative regulators; from gene expression dynamics (genes that do not respond to a stimulus are unlikely target candidates) and timeliness of expression (new protein synthesis needs to be underway before a transcription factor (TF) whose activity is regulated by its gene expression can affect the regulation of its target genes). An automated query pipeline searched for supporting information both from our own Datamart with experimental findings and public annotations of transcriptional regulation, and through federated querying against distributed SPARQL endpoints. Several examples of high scoring TF-TG gene pairs illustrate the power of our approach.

Forget about having your own printer, coffee pot or a mini-refrigerator in your office. Heck, you can forget about having your own office, too, because you'll probably get assigned a modular desk in a big, open space.
That's what it's like to work in a green datacentre. IT workers are finding that they have to make sacrifices for the greater good of cutting back on energy usage in these facilities.
Operators of the nation's greenest data centres say it takes time for employees to get used to working in environmentally friendly ways.
"It takes a lot of marketing and education" to get employees used to working in a green building, says Chris Long, director of health, safety and sustainable development at the Environmental Protection Agency's facility in Research Triangle Park, N.C.
"We have a very highly educated workforce, and what we found is that when people do have the data, it makes a difference," Long says. "They find out that it makes a difference if they turn off their computer screen when they are out of the office. Some of us even have motion strips that turn off our computers when we leave the room."
Most green buildings don't look like typical office buildings. They often have stark, modernistic designs and are made of Space Age materials.
That's what employees discovered at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Satellite Operations Facility in Suitland, Md., which opened in June. NSOF recently earned a coveted gold certification through the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.
"There's not a lot of colour in the finish of the building. We asked the architect to give us a high-tech feel, and it feels very industrial. But employees would like more color," says Paul Pegnato, project manager for NSOF.
NSOF is unusual because it has a "green" roof, with soil and plantings on top of the building. Most green buildings have drought-resistant plants rather than a conventional lawn.
"Our landscaping is 80 to 90 percent natural wildflowers and native plantings. People don't drive up and see this beautiful green lawn that's associated with an office building," Pegnato says. "But by using natural plantings, we're able to reduce fertilisers running off into the Chesapeake Bay. And we're reducing the amount of mowing required, which reduces noise pollution and fuel usage."

The Three Deadliest Words in the World: "It's A Girl"
Written by Juliana Rincon Parra
Between India and China, 200 million girls have gone "missing" as parents abort female fetuses or kill and abandon baby girls. Several documentaries and reports cover this phenomenon, trying to explain the causes for this deadly gender discrimination and figure out what can be done about it.
With the tagline of "The three deadliest words in the world", the "It's a Girl" documentary is one which through interviews and on-location filming is figuring out why 200 million girls are "missing" in India and China, and why there has been no effective actions to this problem.
Born to Die is another film investigating the rise in female feticide and infanticide in modern India.
Poh Si Teng for Global Post also has a video on the relationship between ultrasound devices, gender screening and female feticide, and whether the laws banning portable ultrasound will help stop the selective abortions in India:
The BBC's 2007 investigatory documentary on India's Missing Girls and people who are trying to turn the tide on a cultural phenomenon that affects all of India's socio-economic levels: the cult of boys, and the belief that girls are not worth the trouble to raise them. The documentary, split in 3 parts can be found online (1, 2, 3).
One of the organizations trying to make the difference is the Aarti Home in Kadapa, who take in abandoned children, most of whom are girls abandoned because they are girls, and also talking to expectant mothers of female children to encourage them to have and cherish them.
Aarti House hopes to be a home for girls who were already rejected once for being girls and make sure they have a safe haven. At the very beginning of this next video, a young girl talks about the disadvantages and hardships she went through just because she was a female:
World renowned Chinese-American novelist Anchee Min, who writes strong female characters admits in this next video how she didn't want to have a daughter, and all through her pregnancy, secretly hoped that it would turn out to be a boy, despite ultrasounds and tests because "Who wants to be a girl in China?"
Taiwanese Next Media Animation explores the consequences of the gender imbalance in China brought on by the One Child Policy and a society which values males more than females with the video and song No Girls Born (In China Anymore)
So there are no girls born, in China anymore
I feel so forlorn, with nobody to keep me warm
Confucian culture scorns daughters in favor of sons
So there are no girls born and I'm doomed to be just one
My parents chose me in utero to carry on the family name
But if I can't find a bride I'll be carrying nothing but shame
You gotta be tall, educated, and own your own house
miss one out of three, you won't find a spouse

Extend your coverage above your General Liability.
Protect yourself against all claims – even if it exceeds your maximum policy limit. General Liability policies always state a maximum amount the insurer will pay in the case of a judgment. Umbrella policies are generally purchased to cover the business in case they are required to settle for more than the maximum policy limit. The Umbrella insurance policy picks up where the General Liability coverage ends.
Why Choose an Umbrella Policy?
1. If it is required by contract to protect a customer or another tech company that you are performing work on behalf of.
2. You want the additional "peace of mind" for a relatively inexpensive price.
Securing an Umbrella policy is a valuable risk management tool that will guarantee coverage against significant liability claims. Don't risk the unknown. Ensure your organization survives even the most threatening suits.

The life of a bunny-maker
Tuesday, April 28, 2015
Where in the world?
Hey guys! I bet you've been wondering where I disappeared to, well... I've been steady busy since January. Though not all of that has been work related. My little girl, Swipey, has proven to be a handful, so escaping to sit on the computer and blog has been difficult. I've finally embraced the fact that if I ever want to blog again it will have to be on a mobile device.
So here I am, testing out the blogger app. So far so good.
If all goes well, I will now be around a lot more, thanks for all your love and support!
Bunny hugs!

I love those few blissful moments of quiet after I've finished buckling my screaming/flailing/thrashing children into their car seats, and I shut their doors to walk slowly around to the driver's side. The chaos of my life is contained in that mostly soundproof vehicle. My body and mind are all mine on that short but sweet journey to the other side of the car and I almost forget the madness that awaits me inside. I take a deep breath and enjoy the momentary freedom.
Small breaks like these help keep me sane on a daily basis.
But sometimes… they don't. And I need more.
I'm not just talking about your regular self care, mani-pedi, re-charge type of more. In fact, "re-charge" is one of my least favorite words when it comes to surviving parenting. I am not an iphone. If only it were so simple as plugging myself in for a few hours and then BAM I'm good to go for the rest of the day.
Sometimes I get a mani-pedi and you know what? I return home and my patience disappears as quickly as it takes one of my children to chip a freshly painted nail (I would generously estimate that at about .032 seconds). Sure, getting a mani-pedi feels great. Yes, of course, I love those massage chairs and that foot scrub that no one wants to admit actually hurts. But once it's over, I'm immediately irritated at 8 different things. What is wrong with me?? WHY CAN'T I HOLD A CHARGE?? Am I broken? Do I need to go to the Genius Bar??! I don't have time for that.
I have learned that self care and "re-charging" are not so simple. At least it hasn't been for me. Relaxing with traditional forms of self care don't always refill my battery in a sustainable way. It took me a surprisingly long time to acknowledge that. But once I did, I started to re-assess how I spent my coveted "me time." Don't get me wrong, I love any and all forms of traditional self care. My most highly anticipated gift from my husband on birthdays/holidays is a massage at the fancy spa in the trendy hotel nearby that has bottles full of creams that smell like heaven on the counter top. It's just that when I need to REALLY reset my mental and emotional state, I have found that a few other self care activities provide more dramatic and lasting results.
Below are a few self care ideas that I use when I'm in dire need of a serious re-set.
All of these activities are clinically proven to use a different part of your brain than parenting, thus, making them truly restorative. Just kidding. I have no idea what area of your brain they use. I just know they make me feel better.
- Scheduling: Organizing my time makes me feel productive and reduces my anxiety over feeling like I don't have a plan or that I am going to miss out on something. I mostly create lists and use a planner when it comes to scheduling. Bonus points if I can schedule in a coffee shop among other adults, drinking adult things, listening to adult music.
- Writing: One of the most cathartic things I've done since entering this crazy parenting world is opening up a word doc and just writing. I've never been one to keep a journal, so it took me awhile to buy into this whole write-down-my-ideas-when-it's-not-a-school-or-work-assignment. But it feels great to let my mind go and see where it takes me. It also helps me work through a lot of the crazy feelings and thoughts that come along with motherhood.
- Researching: I Pinterest SO hard. I can't even begin to explain how many awesome things I have discovered as a result of this platform. I'm a ride-or-die Pinterest fan. If it were a person, I would want to be its best friend (except that I would probably be intimidated by her worldliness). From interior design, renovation ideas, recipes, kid's activities, landscaping – it's like Pinterest pulls together the best ideas from all these areas just for me. Maybe it's just me, but I find it highly therapeutic to spend a nap time scrolling through ideas about playroom organization or setting-up an "invitation to play" (Spend some time looking up "invitation to play" and you'll feel like Maria freaking Montessori and that you are winning at parenting)
- Purging: Not sure if there needs to be any further explanation or detail here. Marie Kondo has got that on lock down. I'm also pretty sure every blog ever has written about the sorcery of your soul that is purging. So, purge.
- Do something uncomfortable: This can be a VAST range of things. Maybe it's reaching out to a friend you haven't spoken to in a long time and you know the conversation will be awkward at first. But you power through it to re-establish a connection that brings a rush of happiness and fulfillment that only friendship can provide. Or maybe it's blogging. This is uncomfortable for me. But I'm pushing myself and enjoying working through the uncomfortableness to find feelings of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Do you have any out-of-the-box self care activities?

Canucks sign Radim Vrbata to 2-year deal
Winger has spent last 5 seasons with Coyotes
Other teams probably could have offered Radim Vrbata $10 million over two years. What the Vancouver Canucks had that the competition didn't was the chance to play with Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
So when general manager Jim Benning suggested it, Vrbata took it as another reason to sign with the Canucks.
"He was saying that they were looking for somebody to play with Sedins and that they think I could be the guy," Vrbata said on a conference call Thursday. "I feel like with the way they play and the way they see the game, it's something that would probably suit my game. Yeah, it was real interesting to have that chance."
It'll be up to coach Willie Desjardins to form the lines, Benning said, but it was part of the plan to give Vrbata an opportunity with the Sedins. Benning likes that Vrbata can read plays and jump into holes.
Vrbata, who had 20 goals and 31 assists in his final season with the defensive-minded Arizona Coyotes, will be counted on to produce more if he's Vancouver's top-line right-winger. He doesn't mind that pressure.
"If you play with players like Sedins, you know that you will get your chances," Vrbata said. "When I think about the way they play, that kind of suits my game, I think. They like lots of give-and-go's and they like to get open for each other. I think that's something that I like to do, too."
The addition of Vrbata could push Alex Burrows out of that spot. The 33-year-old who had been a regular linemate with the Sedins since 2010 had just five goals and 10 assists in 49 games this past season.
Benning sees Burrows as the second-line right-winger alongside centre Nick Bonino — acquired from the Anaheim Ducks in the Ryan Kesler trade — and either Zack Kassian or Jannik Hansen.
"We want to have balance amongst our four lines. We want to have scoring, we want to have scoring depth," Benning said. "Now we have depth at the forward positions where every line can contribute in the scoring, and that's one of the things that we set out to do."
'For the most part we're done'
Signing Vrbata could be the last major move in unrestricted free agency this summer for the Canucks, who got veteran goaltender Ryan Miller on Tuesday for $18 million over three years.
"For the most part we're done," Benning said. "We wanted to address a couple things to make our team a complete team going into this next season, and I think we've done that. ... We're going to probably go into the season with this team and we're going to see where we stand and go from there."
Vrbata fit on that checklist because the Canucks wanted to add a scorer. Benning said there were some possibilities on Day One, but when they didn't materialize, the 33-year-old Czech became a priority.
"For us, he plays a 200-foot game," Benning said. "He plays in all three zones and he's got real good hockey sense and hands to finish. He's going to help us on our power play."
And in the shootout. Vrbata had five goals on 12 attempts last season.
But it's the goals he could help produce alongside the Sedins that made Vrbata particularly attractive to the Canucks, and vice-versa. Vrbata understands he might not spend 80 games with Daniel and Henrik but doesn't sound like he'd complain about doing that.
"I'm a big, big believer in chemistry and kind of synergy," Vrbata said. "I feel like when you have chemistry with somebody, that helps so much in today's league where sometimes it's so tight and if you can really trust and gain advantage by knowing the guys you're on a line [with]."

TEDxExeter: HOPE
8.30am – 5.15pm, Friday 21 April 2017
A day of inspiring talks, connection and action
"Critical thinking without hope is cynicism, but hope without critical thinking is naïveté." — Maria Popova
TEDxExeter is back for a 6th year. We're bringing another exceptional group of speakers and performers to Exeter to share their work, vision and hope with us. We'll gather over 900 people on the day to share inspiration and explore ways of turning hope into action and making a positive difference in our lives, our communities and ultimately our world.
Live at the Exeter Northcott Theatre
Simultaneous Livestream at Exeter University's Alumni Auditorium
Both audiences joined together in the breaks to meet each other, our speakers, sponsors, and groups making a difference locally. Lunch and refreshments were included in the ticket price.
"Optimists think it will all be fine without our involvement; pessimists take the opposite position; both excuse themselves from acting. Hope is an embrace of the unknown and the unknowable, an alternative to the certainty of both optimists and pessimists. It's the belief that what we do matters even though how and when it may matter, who and what it may impact, are not things you can know beforehand." — Rebecca Solnit
Thank you to all those who joined us – dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers – and were part of something special.
The videos of the talks and performances are now available; click on the photo.

On US 30 four miles east of Downingtown is Exton, settled before the Revolution but not named until after the completion of the Pennsylvania Railroad from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh in 1852 and the Chester Valley Railroad from Norristown to Downingtown in 1858. According to Richard Trimble, his grandfather, William Trimble, who owned a large farm where the Pennsylvania Railroad intersected Lancaster Pike, named the village for his birthplace in England. Joseph C. Exton, on the other hand, claimed "the town was named in honor of my father's eldest sister, who married John D. Steele, and their son was an engineer in laying out the Chester Valley railroad. He honored his mother's maiden name by naming a station thereon." Nevertheless, James Beale was given a commission to open a post office at Exton in 1861.[1]

J — Jersey. We decided farm kids just plain ought to have a dog, and our search for the perfect puppy ended when my brother-in-law called to say he had a stray brought into his vet clinic. Jersey is a light brown color and full of energy. She is also a thief….gloves and tape measures disappear all the time.
I — Individuals. We are amazed at how unique God has created our kids to be. They are certainly siblings, but also individuals and I guess that is one of the wonderful things about parenting.
N — NASCAR race. Joe and I broadened our horizons by attending a NASCAR race in Newton, Iowa this past summer. It was a free trip for us and a fun, short getaway. We also celebrated our 10-year anniversary a few months late while in Colorado to attend Joe's cousin's wedding.
G — Growth. Vince is 8, Liv is 5, and Ava is 2. Time has flown. Sometimes I look to find my little boy, and there is a three-fourths grown Vince standing there. Liv is loving kindergarten and Ava likes to destroy the order I try to keep in our house.
L — Lazy and Crazy. Vince and Liv raised 2 bottle calves again this summer. Vince's calf was pretty spunky for being just a day old so he named her "Crazy". Liv looked at her exhausted calf and announced, "Mine is just so lazy." The fair continues to be a highlight of our summer.
E — Eye Surgery. The tear duct for Ava's right eye has never worked. She has always had tears dripping onto her cheeks. Her doctor finally convinced me to do something about it. What was supposed to be a simple surgery in September in Sioux Falls didn't work, so we tried again in October at the U of M. It was all great until Ava pulled the stent out six days later. So now, some days her duct drains and some days it doesn't. One of the things we learned in the process is that Ava has astigmatism in her right eye, so now she sports a pair of glasses whenever I can keep them on her.
B — Blogging. I began a blog this year at soshemarriedafarmer.wordpress.com. It is my hour per week to promote all the goodness that goes on at our farm, as well as farms across this nation. I enjoy writing and posting photos, although I sometimes struggle to carve out the time each week to get it done.
E — Extra-curriculars. Ava loves to be around people, Liv enjoys dance and gymnastics, and Vince likes all sports and continues to be forced into piano.
L — Lawn-mowing. Vince has taken over this job on the farm, and shows a lot of God-given talent in operating machinery in general.
L — Legos. All the time.
S — Side-shooter. Joe has put a lot of time and effort into developing a side business of chopping corn silage for farmers in the area. He continues to love to work with all aspects of the farm and I love to be a stay-at-home mom so it all works out pretty dandy.
Here's to a great 2014!!

Possibly the simplest and most functional floor plans are designed for farm house layouts, encompassing a simple four room per floor plan. The second floor is typically a repeat of the first floor, although some alteration may be made depending on the family's needs.
In most cases there will be a living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom on the lower floor with a bathroom and three or four bedrooms on the upper floor. Two of those bedrooms could be combined into a larger one to hold three upstairs rooms, if the family needs one extra large room for their personal needs.
While most two-story floor plans will have one bathroom over the other for ease in plumbing installation, it is also possible for bathrooms to be at opposite ends of the house. This will increase installation costs as well as repair costs later on, but individual floor plans are for the convenience of the homeowner and not the plumber doing the work.
These floor plans typically have a door at the front and back of the house, but the floor plan will allow the first floor to have a circular traffic pattern. Ease of getting from one room to the other allows traffic to flow from room to room without causing congestion in a busy household. Moving from the kitchen to the dining room or to the family room makes mealtime easier while segregating the living room from any noise associate with kitchen activity.
On the upper level, the bathroom is typically located closest to the master, or larger bedroom, for the convenience of the "master†of the house. Often times, if the floor plan will allow, a half-bath can be placed at the other end of the upper level to allow more convenience of the rest of the family members.

In our long, intensive course, you can experience the everyday life of a steam locomotive and feel like a real steam engine driver.
The training course always starts and ends in Wernigerode. The training starts on a Thursday at 8:30 am in our headquarters at Friedrichstraße 151.
|Day 1
|In the morning, you will receive various briefings and information. In the afternoon, you will be taught the basics of railway operation in a theory lesson. On request, there is then the option of consolidating what you have learned on a trip with the HSB.
|Day 2
|In the morning, operating and monitoring systems, the structure and the function will be explained on the steam engine. In the afternoon, theory lessons will teach further basics of railway operation.
|Days 3-4
|Training on trains in service
|Day 5
|The subject matter taught so far is repeated, followed by a written and an oral exam. You must pass these exams in order to continue with the training.
|Day 6-12
|Further training on trains in service between Wernigerode and the Brocken. One of these days will be a day off.
|Day 13
|Practical exam, in which content of the theory exam is also tested. The certificates of participation are presented during a dinner to finish the course.
Most of your training will take place on trains in normal service. You will be assigned to a specific member of engine staff and engine for the duration of the course, although holiday or days off of staff or engines being out of service for planned or unplanned reasons may mean that this assignment cannot always be maintained.
Safety and punctuality are the top priorities in railway operation. The engine staff – especially the engine driver – cannot be divested of their responsibility for these. We would therefore like to inform you that you must follow the instructions of the engine driver and that you have no legal entitlement to drive the locomotive yourself. The decision as to when you drive the locomotive yourself is always made by our engine driver himself according to his own judgement in line with his duties, and is final.
On request, we will be happy to organise accommodation for you in comfortable hotels or guesthouses in Wernigerode. Because accommodation prices can fluctuate depending on the hotel category requested and the season (from €50.00 per night including breakfast), specific arrangements can only be made once a binding date has been set for the course.
The price for the training as an amateur engine driver is €1,499.00. As well as theory and practical training, including exams, the price includes the following:
If you would like any more information or to ask about dates, please contact Ms Bruder on tel.: +49 (0) 3943/558-151, fax: +49 (0) 3943/558-155, e-mail: email@example.com or use our contact form for enquiries with no obligation.

Seacology Fiji Project - Our visit July 2004
Inside the Naikorokoro Kindergarten
The kindergarten is absolutely beautiful, and thanks to our Sponsors we were able to set up the Computer and printer,
and watch the children as they learned how to do their English and Mathematics with the Computer. It was so wonderful to watch
them do something that was so new to the whole village. Many of the villagers had not seen a computer before. Cathrine holds
a young child, while Chantal, Jeremy and Cheyenne are busy looking after the students.
More pictures to come, especially of the beautiful Computer and Printer and the children and villagers seeing them and
using them for the very first time!

Drake Announces New Single On The Way After PETA Calls Him Out + Nas & Kelis FINALLY Reach Custody Agreement
There's controversy and new music coming from Drake. Get the latest on the Young Money rapper, plus details on how Nas and Kelis finally ended their nasty custody battle inside…
New music from Drake? Yep. Well, we already knew he's gearing up to release some heat because he told us he was working on a new project that he's dedicating to his hometown of Toronto.
At least one of his new tracks will be here sooner rather than later. And we know who's behind the production on the track. Producer Murda Beatz, who has collaborated with Drizzy several times, hopped on Instagram Live to preview a new beat. During the stream, Drizzy hopped on and decided to drop a nugget in the comments.
"New single dropping soon produced by Chef Murda," Drake wrote.
#Drake says he has a single dropping produced by #murdabeatz . Y'all ready for this ? pic.twitter.com/YyJtjpnCyM
— Real Rap Magazine (@RealRapMag) March 21, 2018
Get ready.
Outside of music, PETA is calling out the God's Plan rapper for continuing his partnership with outerwear brand Canada Goose.
Days after he announced he was no longer eating meat, PETA issued an open letter to the rapper explaining why he should end his partnership with Canada Goose, throwing in several of his song titles in the plea.
"We're just saying, Drake: You could do better," PETA wrote, playing off the rapper's "Marvin Room" track.
You can read the full letter https://support.peta.org/page/4581/action/1?locale=en-US ">here.
In other rapper news...
Finally! Nas and Kelis have come to a custody agreement over their son Knight.
Last we heard, things were getting ugly between both parties where Nas' attorney allegedly called the "Milkshake" singer out of her name.
It's all over now and here's how the judge ruled…
According to TMZ, the couple has agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of their 8-year-old son Knight. Everything about where Knight will spend holidays is all written out where they'll alternate having him on his birthday. Seems fair. In case you were wondering, Nas will get the even years and Kelis will get the odd years.
No word on a child support increase. The Queensbridge rapper currently shells out $8,000/month but Kelis was looking to get more since she claims his financial situation is better than when they made the agreement. We assume it'll stay the same until she officially files some paperwork to get more money.
Well, at least this part is behind them now.
