What is Cabin Fever
Cabin fever is a situation where a person is trapped in a place such as room, deserted island, cave or forest. It is closely related to claustrophobia and is a more generalized word for the same. Interaction with the surroundings is a common method of overcoming cabin fever.
The idea of getting trapped in a room or on a deserted island sounds horrifying. The development of anxiety when a human is trapped for a long time is known as Cabin Fever. It can be described as the blend of restlessness, insecurity, paranoia, oversleeping, obliviousness, and undue irritation. These are some particular symptoms of cabin fever. Usually, the occurance rate of cabin fever is higher when a person is trapped in a small space. Cabin fever is a popular word for Claustrophobia and is used by the masses. Cabin fever has been frequently used in thriller and horror movies and novels.
Facts About Cabin Fever
Psychiatrists and doctors have explained it as the fear of dying or insecurity of lossing everything. Such anxieties are obvious and every human will go through these emotions if they are trapped for a long time. However, cabin fever is not associated with small place like room or cave only. It is asscoiated with isolation also. A simple example is trapped in your house during heavy snow, storm, or rain.
Fear and insecurity of lossing life and closed ones is the driving force behind cable fever.
How To Overcome Cabin Fever?
Overcoming cabin fever is very important to survive otherwise it can result in mental instability. Mental instability will reduce your chances of surviing if your trapped and injured. Calmness and composure are the two things that will save your from any damage. Keep yourself composed and never panic is the key.
Interaction with the outside world is every important. This is best way to avoid claustrophobia and cabin fever. If you are trapped in a tiny place then keep yourself composed and interact with things you have in your surrounding. It is might sound silly but this is the best way to overcome cabin fever. Cognitive reaction is imperative. Try to reason and find a way out without panicking. Panic will raise your heartbeat and your blood pressure. It can result in suffocation or hypertension and finally unconsciousness.
One must try to get out of such situation instead for panicking. You must be optimist about your chances of getting out and look for the same. If you have failed to find any way out then stay clam and try to relax. Avoid sleeping and use your resources to keep yourself energised until someone comes to your rescue. It is dificult to find someone who is lost or trapped in heavy snow, or in a cave or in a dense forset. So, try to make a flag in order to indicate your presence.

After years of decline, government contracting may increase in fiscal 2017. Relatively flat spending decreases in recent years and increased budgets may translate into a reversal of a years-long slide. While it's too soon to look at Pentagon spending, preliminary numbers for fiscal 2016 show that civilian agencies increased obligations.
Bloomberg Government has identified some key trends that will define fiscal 2017 contracting.

Abarth announces dedicated heritage arm
Taking inspiration from such certification programmes as Ferrari's Classiche and Aston Martin's Assured Provenance, Abarth has revealed its own dedicated heritage arm, entitled the Officine Abarth Classiche…
The new service involves the careful restoration of historic road and race Abarths, and the certification of their mechanical authenticity. Housed in a dedicated 1,000-square-foot workshop at the Abarth factory in Turin, the programme is also open to Abarth-tuned Fiats, Lancias, Alfa Romeos and Cisitalias, which will result in, ultimately, a comprehensive Abarth registry. Anneliese Abarth, the widow of the company's late founder, Carlo Abarth, has been named a brand ambassador and, as with Enzo Ferrari, Carlo's office has been faithfully recreated as a reminder of the brand's roots.

Matt Willis Recalls 'Lowest Point Of My Life'
Former Busted star Matt Willis spoke with The Mirror about his stint in rehab after the band split last year. "It was awful. I was very unhappy and probably in the lowest point of my life," he admitted. "I hit self destruct mode. When you're told to fu**ing look at the rest of your life at 21, it's a bit worrying when you don't see anything. Probably the best thing I've ever done was asking for help."

After LTFRB nod, Uber eyeing other PH cities (Philippines Daily Inquirer)
Uber Philippines lauded the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) for the quick approval on Wednesday of the company's accreditation under a regulatory framework that made the country the first in Asia to legalize app-based ridesharing services.
We are extremely proud of the result of our work with the government to lay the groundwork to pass regulations for app-based ridesharing services, Laurence Cua, Uber Philippines general manager, said Thursday. We will continue to pave the way in the Philippines with new technology that will help commuting in Metro Manila safe and convenient for the community.
The accreditation will enable Uber to expand and bring safe, reliable and convenient rides to more cities in the Philippines, Cua added.
But with regard to the accreditation of individual Uber partner vehicles, the company said this was still being done in batches. The LTFRB earlier said it would start apprehending unaccredited vehicles starting today.
(The partners') applications are being submitted on a daily basis to the LTFRB, Karun Arya, Uber communication lead for South Asia and India, said through e-mail. Due to the sheer volume of drivers on our platform, as well as the fact that we received our TNC accreditation just yesterday, we are using a phased approach for our partners' TNVS application submissions.
TNVS stands for transport network vehicle services, the name given to partner vehicles of app-based TNCs or transportation network companies.
Uber is working with their partner-drivers to finalize their submissions as quickly as possible in close consultation and with the guidance of the LTFRB, Arya said.
The LTFRB held a sting operation against an Uber partner driver in October last year after receiving complaints from taxi operators who, like their counterparts in several countries, cited unfair competition since Uber vehicles lacked a franchise yet were being allowed to operate like cabs.
Despite protests and following consultations and public hearings, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) created a new transport category-the TNC and TNVS-for app-based services like Uber. The LTFRB later issued memorandum circulars on their regulation.
Uber's application for accreditation as a TNC was approved Wednesday within 48 hours of submission, Cua noted. We are proud to have worked closely with the LTFRB and the DOTC to make the Philippines the first country in Asia to legalize app-based ridesharing services.

Sydney games field a wealth of opportunity
The Sydney Olympic Games in the year 2000 are throwing up a variety of design opportunities for UK groups and should be used as a launch pad into other local markets, says the Department of Trade and Industry.
Colin Moynihan, former Minister for Sport and chairman of the DTI's Sydney Olympics UK Business Task Force, has visited the Olympic site.
"Many of the projects have yet to come off the drawing board and most of the service contracts are still to be awarded," he says.
"The organising committee accepts that it will need to supplement the work of Australian firms, and when this happens they will look to companies from other countries to assist them," he adds.
Potential areas of opportunity cited by the task force include interior and graphic design, lighting, display and exhibitions, ticketing and merchandising. A Sydney-based director-general will be appointed in the next few weeks to feed information back to companies who subscribe to the information service, says a DTI spokesman.
Involvement in the games could also lead to further opportunities in the region, says
Moynihan: "Australian links with its Asia-Pacific neighbours have never been stronger, and the Olympic Games offer a unique opportunity to capitalise on these growing ties."
The Task Force is promoting openings for British companies at three seminars in February. For information contact Gary Soper on 0171-215 4875.

When you're online, you are using a computer or other device that's connected to the Internet. If someone asks if you're online, they're wondering whether you have Internet access.
You might say, "I need to go online and check my email," or "I don't know if she's still meeting me — she hasn't been online all day." Or you could describe something that's available or readable on the Internet, like a news story, as being online. While the adjective officially describes a connection to any computer network, it's almost always used these days to mean "on the Internet." The word online has been around since 1950.

On the evening of November 5, 2016 local time, Premier Li Keqiang met at the hotel where he stayed in Riga with Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos of Romania.
Li Keqiang expressed that China and Romania enjoy a profound traditional friendship and bilateral relations enjoy a sound development momentum. Valuing bilateral practical cooperation, China is willing to, together with Romania, enhance the docking of development strategies, promote project cooperation in major areas including nuclear energy and thermal power, strengthen cooperation in the deep processing of agricultural products and facilitate balanced growth of bilateral trade. China also stands ready to enhance tourism cooperation and enrich people-to-people and cultural exchanges with Romania, so as to constantly push forward bilateral relations.
Dacian Ciolos expressed that Romania devotes itself to developing friendly cooperation with China, and welcomes Chinese enterprises to invest in Romania, participate in its infrastructure construction in port and other fields, carry out bilateral cooperation in such areas as agriculture and tourism, as well as push major project cooperation in nuclear energy, thermal power and other areas for new progress.

Bowing Walls in Dearborn MI – What They Mean
Bowing Walls
If your basement has walls and not just earth, this article is for you. Have you seen your walls bubble out or inward? There may even be wave like formations on the wall. If you have seen this happen, or if your home has basement walls that are starting to lose its straight uprightness, you may need to do some repairs. Your home is probably your biggest investment and your most valuable asset, so it only makes it all the more important to maintain and keep it in top working order. Bowing walls can be a sign of weakening walls as well as foundation related issues.
Why do walls bow?
There are many reasons why your walls may bow, some of them are:
- Frost heaves: Frost heaves or snow build up right outside the walls or if the external wall has a slight slant where snow can build up, it will eventually fuse into solid ice and become more and more heavy till the walls bow inward. The snow can seep into the soil, making the wet soil freeze up, and as the temperature changes, it becomes wet again, freezing soil will expand to a noticeable extent and this will cause the walls to heave inward.
- Vibrations: If your house is located just off a major roadway or if it is near a manufacturing plant or even a mill of sorts, you will get constant vibrations coming at your home from a particular direction. When the walls are not able to take the vibrations anymore, there are chances of it getting damaged to a great extent. In some cases, it will manifest itself as an inward bow.
- Increase in load: If your house is designed to be hold and take a certain amount of weight, adding to it will weaken the structure. Adding a floor or another room hanging off a wall, for example will increase the weight and load on the lower floors, the basement wall taking most of it, it will bow.
- Fresh construction adjacent to the house: A new garage with a driveway lined with concrete seems like a great idea till you realize that concrete is heavy. Any new construction done in such a way that it is directly above or attached to the lower walls can cause it to cave or bow.
Bowing walls are a sign that you will need to get them repaired immediately. They will not settle or repair themselves.

Pumpkinface writes: None of the Republican hoopla is as tiny bit as offensive as Obama's lofty heights and liberal pretension betrayed by mediocrity in practice. In government. On this point alone the Republicans have a point. Obama is not a victim. He is simply devoid of any real, magnetic, cultural or political significance this time round. Due to his own hollowness.
MT: Well, I can't really agree with this, of course. The opposition party approached the most desperate moment in American history in decades and chose to use it to try to destroy the president instead of trying to fix the country. That said, sure, Obama made many errors. And contrary to what our conservatives here think, I feel like I've chronicled them, at the Guardian and here. I wrote that it was wrong to push health care in year one (although I also obviously wanted it to pass), I've criticized him on a number of things, I've suggested a wide range of things I think he should have done differently. He is not my hero. He is my president, though, and he's the firewall we have against the lunatics taking over.
Meanwhile, Pumpkinface: I have been reading your comments for two years and still don't have a good fix on your own politics. Would appreciate some clarification if you feel like it.
InLightened says, re my guess that he think liberalism is to blame for Americans having lost moral fiber and resolve: Never said that. Didn't imply that. The world is different now, not just the US but the world. I think things were simpler before Iphones and the 24 hour news and shopping channels. People used to talk to each other a lot more. Now we have Tomasky's blog.
MT: Okay, fair enough. But your party has built this whole phony story around the idea that liberalism IS to blame. I heard that last night more than I heard anything--that liberals don't believe in work and want people to have something for nothing. It's ridiculous. Your tax dollar has more pennies going to corporate welfare than to poor people's welfare (which both parties support, true enough).
I sometimes pine for simpler days too, but what I pine for about those days is that there was a kind of civic compact in this country under which corporations cared more for their workers and we had a broad consensus that there were shared responsibilities to the public weal, even as we disagreed about how broad those responsibilities were. That's what we've lost.

I have problems installing Windows 10 (and almost any other operating system) on my new freshly built Ryzen PC. The specs of the machine are:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X
- MB: Asus Prime B350M-A (BIOS ver. 0902)
- RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2666MHz 2x8GB (HX426C15FBK2/16)
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970
- PSU: Corsair RM550x
- SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
- HDD: Western Digital Red 2TB
- TP-Link N900 Wireless PCI-E card.
I tried to install latest Windows 10 (1703 10.0.15063) first, but got various BSoDs during installation with following errors:
- IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (x1)
- DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (x2)
- SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (x6)
- KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (x2)
- BAD_POOL_HEADER (x1)
- KERNEL_SEQURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (x2)
- CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (x1)
- UNXEPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (x1)
- 0xC000021A (x1)
I've read similar threads where people suspect hardware problems, so here are my attempts to fix or diagnose the issue in chronological order:
1. Checked both MB slots and RAM pins - no dust or oxidation.
2. Removed one RAM stick. Installation succeeds, system is stable under various loads (two days of gaming, browsing, heavy math computations, benchmarks, stability tests etc.)
3. Tried ALL 12 possible memory placements for two sticks, and it happens, that no matter where I put the memory modules, two 8GB sticks don't work, while one 8GB stick does work.
4. Set the frequency to 2400, 2133, 1866MHz with no effect.
5. Checked each stick separately, then both together with Memtest86 - over 9 passes and no errors.
6. Assembled a minimal setup with just MB, RAM, CPU and graphics card - nothing changed.
7. Removed battery for 10 sec, 1 min, 10 min at various stages of my shenanigans - no effect.
8. Installed Windows 7. At the end of installation it just suddenly rebooted and corrupted the disk partition, so I should repartition the hard drive using another PC.
9. Installed Linux Mint 18.3. Live USB displayed Unknown hardware! error in the terminal and frozen.
10. Installed 2x8GB kit G.Skill Ripjaws 4 Blue DDR4 3000MHz (F4-3000C15D-16GRBB) with no effect.
11. Installed 1x16GB kit TEAM Elite DDR4 2400MHz (TED416G2400C1601), which is also in both Asus and TEAM QVL lists - no effect.
12. Took MSI X370 Gaming Plus, but the problems were still the same.
13. Installed Windows 8.1, and - oh, magic! - it successfully installed, addressed all 16GB of RAM, utilized all 16 CPU cores and stably worked for two days under various loads, benchmarks, tests etc. AIDA64 report also didn't show any strange things at the first glance. I was ready to leave it, but unfortunately it does not support other software I need.
14. Installed Ubuntu 17.04 with kernel 4.10, but it also failed with error ACPI Error: Needed [Integer/String/Buffer], found [Region] 0xFFFF.... However after booting with acpi=off parameter, it started and successfully installed the OS, but detected only one CPU core and had problems with Wi-Fi connection (but it's a usual thing, so I guess, it's solely Ubuntu's problems)
15. Brought the PC to the service. Guys from the local store, where all this crapware was bought, briefly checked the PC and said that each component is OK, and this is incompatibility problem, not a warranty case. Guys from another third-party service checked the PC and also said that each component individually is OK, but they also didn't managed to install Windows 10 nor Linux
16. Updated BIOS from version 0806 to 0902 with no luck.
17. Have tried to take the latest chipset drivers from Asus website and inject them into windows 10 image using DISM and then boot with that. Didn't know what drivers to put - there are around 20 of them, - so I added all. Still no luck though - series of BSODs just after launching the installer.
CPU temperature seems to be fine, as it never raised above 56 degrees under 100% load. Chipset temperature is also fine at 29~33 degrees all the time. PSU outputs correct voltages, as motherboard and guys from the service told me.
Please help me, I'm not able to start working for three weeks and I'm quite desperate now and thinking to build a new machine, which is a ton of money.

Blockchain Technology – What Is It
When we refer to blockchain technology we are talking about a digital ledger of market's transactions,
which is available in public domain.
Each transaction is referred to as "block" and they are recorded in a sequential fashion. They then form
a chain consisting of digital blocks.
They were created initially for the purpose of tracking, verifying and maintaining different types of
cryptocurrency transactions.
Today the concept of blockchain also is applied to various other businesses and industries.
It is being used for activities like proof of ownership,
authentication and also for voting and for tracking the origin of diamond.
More Details of Blockchain
The ledger book in a blockchain scenario is decentralized.
It makes use of peer-to-peer network of individual computers.
This helps to verify and process each transaction. To make things clearer,
it is perhaps equal to copying a spreadsheet to 10 computers located around the world.
When a buyer buys a widget and payment is made by the buyer to the seller through digital currency,
the entire transaction block is encrypted electronically.
This is then submitted to all the 10 computers for approval.
Each of the 20 computers checks the veracity of the encrypted transactions.
When the approval comes,
the record is then added and made part of the next row as far as the spreadsheet is concerned.
Each of these sequences of transaction is referred to as blockchain.
Understanding Security Network (Peer to Peer)
The above network in a peer-to-peer situation is a great takeaway and showcases the power of
blockchain technology.
This is because each and every transaction must be verified and submitted by the entire group.
If there is a doubtful transaction is accepted by one of the computers but rejected by others
belonging to the group,
then such a transaction will not get added to the blockchain.
In other words, the transaction will not be authenticated.
All the approved transactions within a blockchain are linked permanent to each and other this improve security
situation quite significantly.
It cannot be edited or deleted.
Hence, unauthorized transactions will never be possible.
Blockchain has a better record of safety and reliability of transactions when compared to
transactions being captured centrally.
This is done because of technology and also because of the right use of code,
tools and other set of access tools.
How To Find Information on Blockchain
When you visit Investing.com and go to the Cryptocurrency News Page you will get
the required information about the blockchain development and innovation.
The relevant industry activity will also be found.
The homepage also gives information about charts, tables, and links to other useful bits of information.

Siege of Multan (1818)
The Siege of Multan was a battle between a Vizier of the Durrani Empire and the Sikh Empire that started in March 1818 and ended on 2 June 1818.[3]
After he was defeated at the Battle of Attock, the Durrani Vizier, Fateh Khan, fought off an attempt by Ali Shah, the ruler of Persia, to capture the Durrani province of Herat.[4] He was joined by his brother, Dost Mohammad Khan, and the rogue Sikh Sardar Jai Singh Attarwalia. Once they had captured the city, Fateh Khan attempted to remove the ruler, a relation of his superior, Mahmud Shah, and rule in his stead. In the attempt to take the city from its Durrani ruler, Dost Mohammad Khan's men robbed a princess of her jewels.[5] Kamran Durrani, Mahmud Shah's son, used this as a pretext to remove Fateh Khan from power, and had him horribly tortured and executed.[5]
While in power, however, Fateh Khan had installed twenty-one of his brothers in positions of power throughout the Durrani Empire. After his death the next eldest brother Mohd. Azim Khan, governor of Kashmir, led the Barakzais as they rebelled and divided up the provinces of the empire between themselves. During this turbulent period Kabul had many temporary rulers until Dost Mohammad Khan captured the city in 1826.[6]
The Sikh Empire had attacked Multan multiple times in the past, the largest attack being in 1810. However, on the previous occasions the Sikh forces would defeat the defending force and seize the city only to have the governor of Multan, Muzaffar Khan Sadozai, retreat into the Multan Fort. During previous sieges the Sikhs had settled for large single payments of tribute, while the attack in 1810 resulted in Multan paying a yearly tribute. Muzaffar Khan already ruled the Durrani province of Multan independently of the descendants of Ahmad Shah Abdali, the rulers of Kabul. With the relatives of the deceased Fateh Khan engulfed in a power struggle with Mahmud Shah, no Durrani force would be able to relieve him.
In early 1818, Ranjit Singh ordered the Sikh army to rendezvous on the south-west frontier of the Sikh Empire to make preparations for an expedition against Multan. By January 1818, the Sikh Empire had established an extensive supply chain from the capital, Lahore, to Multan, with the use of boat transports to ferry supplies across the Jhelum, Chenab, and Ravi rivers.[7] Rani Raj Kaur herself oversaw the steady supply of grain, horses, and ammunition being sent to the at Kot Kamalia, a town equally distanced between Multan and Lahore.[7]
In early January the Sikh force began their campaign with the capture of Nawab Muzaffar Khan's forts at Muzaffargarh and Khangarh. In February, the Sikh force under Kharak Singh reached Multan and ordered Muzaffar to pay the large tribute he owed and to surrender the fort, but Muzaffar refused. The Sikh forces won an engagement near the city but were unable to capture Muzaffar before he retreated into the fort. The Sikh army asked for more artillery and Ranjit Singh sent them the Zamzama and other large artillery pieces, which commenced fire on the walls of the fort. In early June, Sadhu Singh and a small band of other Akalis attacked the fort walls and discovered a breach in the wall. As they ran in to battle the unaware garrison the larger Sikh army was alerted and entered the fort through the breach.

The ATSTK600-SC01 is a Generic socketcard for devices in DIP package up to 40 pin.
The STK600 starter kit has a sandwich design to match a specific part package and pin out to the generic pin headers. It also features an expansion area where most part pins are available. While the variety of IC packages is relatively limited, the number of possible pinouts increases rapidly with the number of pins. The routing / socket card design provides a lowcost solution to support upcoming devices as the socket is the cost driving factor.
Socket cards route each pin from the IC socket to separate pins on the spring loaded connectors on the bottom side, facing the routing card. As all routing is handled by the routing card, even power lines and power decoupling is ignored at the socket card. This produces less than ideal power design, which may lead to unwanted noise, ground bounce, and other effects. It should therefore be expected that heavily loaded designs cannot run at full speed on the STK600. Likewise, such power design is not recommended for custom designs.
Note : The Socket card requires a Routing card and a STK600 motherboard to support the selected device.
Supported Devices:
- ATmega168
- ATmega168P
- ATmega1284
- ATmega1284P
- ATmega162
- ATmega164A

Hello January 1st 2017. Unfortunately I can't say 2016 has been the best year, even though I'm bringing with me many wonderful memories. Eddie-Bo and Oliver are bringing joy to our family every single day. Being their mom is the best and they make me so happy. But 2016 will always be the year I was pregnant with our baby girl, (lost her in week 17), and the way it happened was so scary, thinking about it every single day. And my poor hubby and his head… I really hope he will get well soon. In four days, it will be two years since he got his concussion.
Let this year be better!!!
Happy New Year// Gott Nytt År

Top 10 Companies Killing the Natural World with Pesticides – Also the Biggest Seed Producers
In a report released by ETC Group, the world's six largest agrochemical manufacturers are also controlling the seed industry. According to the report, agrochemical is running the show, not by providing food to the people of the world, but by poisoning the seeds they provide with chemicals. All of these companies are also gene manipulating, GMO-giants. There is an inextricable link that cannot be ignored.
It breaks down like this:
- The biggest agrochemical company in the world, Bayer, is also the seventh biggest seed company.
- The second largest agrochemical company, Syngenta, is the world's third largest seed company.
- The world's biggest seed company, Monsanto, is the world's fifth largest agrochemical company.
- The world's second biggest seed company – DuPont, is the world's sixth largest agrochemical company.
Read: 7 Nasty Effects of Pesticides
Furthermore, weed killers, like Monsanto's RoundUp herbicide, account for one-third of the global pesticide market. About 80% of GMO seeds suck down this toxin like a crack-addict. There is no herbicide resistance in GMO plants, as we are told. There is only glyphosate and herbicide addiction. This is why Dow is making a new herbicide called Enlist Duo. It is because the pests are now becoming immune to glyphosate, and even greater toxins will have to be used to destroy the super-bugs created by these poisons.
If you've ever worked with heavy drug-addicted individuals, they will deny there is a problem, and seek greater and greater doses of their 'drug' in order to get the same high. The agroscience industry has created the same paradigm. The worldwide market for agrochemicals grows another 10% every year. It's a 40 billion dollar/year market – to sell the world these chemicals.
Despite sky-rocketing fuel and fertilizer costs, high grain prices created soaring demand for commercial seeds and pesticides in 2007. Today's GMO seed sales are chump change in comparison to herbicides and pesticides, but they keep a farmer addicted to the chemicals these…idiots sell. Pesticide sales are up all over the world, particularly in South America.
Furthermore, two GMO crops meant for biofuel (ethanol derived from GMO corn being the largest) boosted sales for the world's largest pesticide companies the last few years – in large part due to the subsidy-driven boom supported by an infiltrated government.

"It is because the pests are now becoming immune to glyphosate, and even greater toxins will have to be used to destroy the super-bugs created by these poisons" -This article seems to imply that glyphosate is an insecticide, not an herbicide, which is in error.
Can you explain how the plant immune system does this?
monsanto is #1 threat to humanity.
Great article THANKS.
Guess we need to start naming more names as Monsanto is not the only gene splitting chemical dumping monster raping and pillaging the land while poisoning land, animals and humans. I bet the CEOs with no conscience and fat salaries eat from greenhouses of organic food while spouting lies to the rest of the world about the safety of their products.
That you would at least know, that organic farming also uses pesticides… And those naturally derived pesticides not always is not as bad as chemically… For example natural product – cyanide is much better then synthetically produced H2O from Hydrogen
not relavent and nonsensicle sounds like a troll

- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work

Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Apple iPhone - Cell Phones: Reviews
Yes, actually, the iPhone is all that. First off, it's sexy. The aluminum-and-glass build gives a nice solid feel, the 3.5-inch touchscreen and Mac OS X make operation fast and intuitive (despite the typing learning curve), and it's a breeze on the Web. Thanks to its seamless integration with iTunes, it's second to none when it comes to ease of audio storage and playback. Right before each trip, we simply plugged it into our computers, quickly loaded new music and videos, and hit the road. But it's too bad our favorite noise-canceling cans wouldn't plug into the recessed headphone jack without an adapter. 4.8 oz; 8 & 16GB flash; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, quad band; apple.com

Many reckon Mandi to be a small hill station lying between Manali and Punjab. And with many hill stations in Himachal Pradesh living in Manali's shadow, Mandi can be easily assumed to be barely another quiet hill station in the North. However, with stunning views of flowing river, cascading mountains and lush forests, Mandi offers a rejuvenating and a peaceful holiday for nature lovers.
Mandi, located at an elevation of 2094 ft in Himachal Pradesh, is a serene hill station and an acting gateway to Kullu, Leh & Ladakh and other areas of Jammu & Kashmir. With abundant green, tall pine trees and snow-clad mountain peaks, Mandi has fascinated tourists for centuries. Besides its natural bounties, it is the first heritage city in Himachal Pradesh, hosting many old Palaces with Colonial architecture.
Here is a complete travel guide for Mandi tour.
How To Reach Mandi
By air: Chandigarh Airport is the nearest airport, located about 116 km from Mandi. Besides the airport, there is also an airbase that is situated in Bhunter about 60 km away from Mandi.
By train: Pathankot railway station is the nearest railway station located about 210 km from Mandi. You can avail a bus or cab from there on, to reach Mandi.
By road: The city of Mandi is well connected to all the towns and neighbouring states like Delhi, Punjab and Haryana through regular HRTC bus service.
Best Time To Visit Mandi
Mandi experiences moderate weather conditions with hot summers and cold winters. Summers are warm enough for wearing cotton clothes while winters are cold with the temperature dropping below freezing point. Heavy woollens are recommended during winters. However, the weather from January till June is pleasant, making it ideal for holiday-makers.
Places To Visit In Mandi
1. Prashar Lake
Located at an altitude of 2735 m and situated about 50 km North of Mandi, Prashar Lake is a crystal clear water body; full of mystic charm. Prashar Lake is also a pilgrimage place, that is home to a 13th century Pagoda temple. According to the legends, the temple is said to be created by Gods. And that is debatable for apparent reasons. Nevertheless, its lush green valleys, interspersed by rivers and lakes offer one of the best scenic views and acts as an ideal visual retreat.

2. Bhutnath Temple
Built as a tribute to Lord Shiva, the history of Bhutnath temple goes back to the 14th century. Bhutnath Temple is as old as the town itself. Known for its religious prominence, tens of thousands of people flock into Bhutnath Temple every year. Pilgrims are greeted by a well decked Nandi or Shiva's Bull at the temple's entrance, which is a stunning idol on its own. If you visit in February, you can partake in one of the famous festivals celebrated in Mandi, Shivaratri.
3. Pandoh Dam
Constructed on Beas River, this Dam was completed in the year 1977, as a hydroelectric power generating source. It is located about 10 km away from Manali and attracts a significant number of people with picturesque views of mountains, flowing river and azure blue sky. This man-made water body allures many migratory and local birds, offering a visual treat to the nature lovers and wildlife photographers. And if you like engaging in adventure activities, you can try river rafting at the lower bed. Since it is located amidst the best scenic views and far away from human activity, Pandoh Dam offers much-required serenity and tranquillity to the tourists and travellers.

4. Rewalsar Lake
Located 23 km to the South of Manali, Rewalsar Lake, also called as Tso Pema Lotus Lake is a must-visit place in Mandi. Rewalsar Lake is adorned with hundreds of lotuses and floating reeds; providing a picture-perfect scenic view for photographers and nature lovers. The mixture of water, woodland and hills at this stunning lake here exemplify the wilderness of nature and are indeed a sight to behold. The infinite sparkling beauty of the Rewalsar Lake and its surrounding are breathtaking.

This week's marquee game features the Baylor Bears and Kansas Jayhawks (noon ET, Saturday, ESPN), a pair of Final Four hopefuls who are also battling for Big 12 regular-season supremacy. ESPN.com's panel of college hoops experts talked about their expectations for that game, the notion of Cole Anthony staying for another collegiate season, and the team they'd like to see in the NCAA tournament field that won't be in the NCAA tournament field.
Jump to score predictions for the weekend's top games
Baylor and Kansas will square off Saturday in Waco, Texas, in what will be the Jayhawks' final realistic chance to wrest control of the Big 12 race from the Bears. If the Jayhawks pull off the upset here, what will it tell you about Kansas? Will it make you reconsider Baylor's national title chances?
Myron Medcalf, senior college basketball writer: It would depend on how Kansas won. If the Jayhawks can somehow put together a dominant offensive effort against a team that has surrendered more than 65 points only five times this season, I think the Jayhawks would be the clear favorites to win the national title. If it's a back-and-forth affair between two of the best teams in the country and Kansas wins a tight matchup, I think it will become more apparent that the path to the title will go through the Bears and Jayhawks. This feels like a preview of a Final Four game. I'm not sure anything that could happen Saturday would change that.
I won't reconsider Baylor's national title chances if Scott Drew's team loses, even if the Bears suffer a double-digit loss. With that defense, they're going to challenge any opponent in the country. But are they more like 2017-18 Virginia or 2018-19 Virginia? The latter won the national title because it played great defense but also had three pros on its roster to anchor its run. The former got stopped in the first round by UMBC after hitting an offensive wall. Is a Baylor team that has made less than 47% of its shots inside the arc and less than 33% of its 3-point attempts in Big 12 play vulnerable to the same offensive lapse that cost Virginia a year prior to its national title run? I think that's a valid question. But the Bears' résumé is ridiculous. Hard to doubt them.
Jeff Borzello, college basketball insider: I think Baylor and Kansas are the two best teams in the country, and I'm not sure Saturday's matchup will change my mind -- assuming one of them doesn't get blown out. If Kansas pulls off the upset, it's a sign that the adjusted efficiency numbers for the Jayhawks are legit, and the talk of "no great team" in college basketball this season could be way off. If you take Kansas' +31.04 adjusted efficiency margin at KenPom and compare it to previous years, it would rank in the top three in every single season since 2002 but one -- the historically good 2015 campaign. It would also rank No. 1 in 2014, 2006 and 2003. Outside of the Baylor loss, Kansas' other two losses came away from home to Duke and Villanova by a combined three points. Bill Self's team might indeed be the best team in the country.
However, Baylor is the team I've thought to be the best in the country since probably late December -- and would be my pick to cut down the nets if the NCAA tournament started tomorrow. Assuming the Bears don't get blown out by Kansas, and I just don't foresee that happening, they are still going to be one of the two best teams in the country come Saturday night.
John Gasaway, college basketball writer: Baylor and Kansas are both clear No. 1 seeds in the making, and when that occurs with conference rivals it's vitally important from an analytics perspective that we just sit back and enjoy the show. You can make a case that these are the best teams both Scott Drew and Bill Self have had in years -- in Drew's case, perhaps ever. Let's toss bouquets to both sides, shall we?
How cool will it be if everyone keeps revving up their "best defense ever" talk with respect to KU and it turns out the Jayhawks don't even have the best defense in the conference? Could happen. Baylor's defense has been superior to this point in Big 12 play, and, if this state of affairs persists to the end of a round-robin conference schedule containing roughly 1,200 possessions balanced between "home" and "road," please don't try to tell me your laptop begs to differ. I'll side with the "actual results" types on that one. However, Kansas has been the better team in Big 12 play thanks to a significantly more productive offense than what BU has shown. Sounds like a mammoth collision in Waco. Don't tell my editor -- I'm paid to watch the bubble -- but on Saturday I'm setting aside a couple of hours for two very non-bubble behemoths. Can't wait.
Jordan Schultz, insider/analyst: Nothing from this game will change what I think of either team. To be clear, that's not an indictment on Kansas or Baylor, but rather a reality check that both teams are simply that good. In a college basketball season defined by inconsistency, the Jayhawks and Bears have done nothing but win. Buoyed by tremendous guard play in Jared Butler and Devon Dotson, as well as equally stout front-liners in Freddie Gillespie and Udoka Azubuike, you're hard-pressed to find better inside-out duos anywhere. Defense is the name of the game here, though. Both teams have fielded historic defensive units, relying on discipline, scheme and effort to limit quality looks. It's the main reason why nobody would bat an eye if either Kansas or Baylor won a title this season -- and why this weekend's tilt in Waco is more for the fans than anything else.
Greg Anthony, father of UNC phenom Cole Anthony, attracted some attention recently when he suggested his presumed one-and-done son could return for his sophomore season with the Tar Heels. Anthony also slipped to No. 11 in ESPN's most recent mock draft. Can you make a persuasive case for him staying in Chapel Hill? Under what circumstances, if any, would you recommend it?
Borzello: The case is simple: Anthony entered this season as a projected top-five pick and perhaps the best point guard in the NBA draft. He's entering the final stretch of the season outside the top 10 after an injury-filled season for a 10-16 team. There's obviously the risk that another season under the microscope of scouts could backfire, but Anthony would be combining with a top-three recruiting class that features four McDonald's All-Americans. He wouldn't have to shoulder so much of the load offensively, in theory. North Carolina will be better, Anthony will be healthy and he could climb back up draft boards.
That's the argument, of course, but I don't see Anthony returning to Chapel Hill for another season. If he gets feedback that he's falling out of the lottery by the deadline to withdraw, however, it's something to think about.
Medcalf: Yeah, I agree with Jeff here. Anthony would return only if he wanted to boost his stock back to its preseason positioning or if he's determined to have a shot at a starting job at the outset of his NBA career. Right now, the 11-15 range for a player coming off knee surgery that disrupted his freshman season at North Carolina could end up with a team that's already stacked with young talent in its guard rotation. That might be a consideration, too. You get back to top-five and you're an immediate starter and perhaps the face of a franchise.
But I also think Anthony would return if he wanted to do more than participate in a forgettable campaign with the Tar Heels. North Carolina is a special program with a history of producing some of the greatest athletes in college basketball history. And those athletes competed for titles. Anthony's team doesn't even look like an NIT squad at this point. Perhaps that's something he can't stomach prior to leaving for the NBA and wants to correct that with an incoming class that features multiple McDonald's All-Americans. But I also think there is zero chance he returns.
Gasaway: Blake Griffin significantly improved his draft position by playing a second year in college. Finding other clear-cut examples in which (unlike, say, Ja Morant) the player in question was already on the NBA's first-round radar as a freshman can be difficult. (Cody Zeller? Marcus Smart? Harrison Barnes? Maybe.)
Basically, the draft position of Anthony or any prospect will depend on the player's performance, their relative youth and on the other players available. I'll go out on a forecasting limb and predict that Anthony will be one year older next year, and, to listen to the chatter, it seems as if competition from other players could be somewhat more robust in the 2021 draft. If I'm Greg Anthony, I'm suggesting to my son that he go ahead and take the plunge now, but the reality is Cole Anthony probably will be a gainfully employed NBA featured player in a couple of years either way. Good problem to have.
Schultz: There really isn't a scenario where I'd advise Cole Anthony to return for his sophomore season. Despite an injury and a stockpile of losses, the blue-chip prospect has put together plenty of quality tape to secure a slot inside the top-five. When I speak with NBA talent evaluators about Anthony, they talk of his dynamic scoring ability and capacity to dominate in ball screens. The more spread NBA game will benefit Anthony the same way it has benefited Ja Morant -- more transition opportunities, more shooters around him and more space in the half court. We also know this is not a particularly deep draft class, and the Tar Heels' point guard should take advantage. Could another season in Chapel Hill be beneficial? Sure. But it would also mean more dissection of his game and more potential for another injury.
We are issuing you one captain's pick, Ryder Cup style, whereby you can select one team for the NCAA tournament that you don't think is going to make it otherwise. Who's your pick and why?
Gasaway: I'm unfamiliar with this "captain's pick" thing and, in fact, it probably is made up to make us look foolish, but it does sound fun. I'm putting on the appropriate cap, brushing up on my nautical terms and picking Davidson.
With a NET ranking all the way down in the 80s and, oh by the way, this week's loss to 5-21 Saint Joseph's, there's no earthly way this team is getting an at-large. Yet the fact remains that the Wildcats have outscored the Atlantic 10 by a significantly wider per-possession margin than what we've seen from a bubble darling like VCU. In fact, Bob McKillop's team has been almost as efficient on offense in league play as Dayton itself. Throw these guys into the field as a No. 14, and watch some poor No. 3 seed squirm. Ahoy there, matey, that's pure spectating delight! Arrrrr! Wait, that's a pirate. Oh, well.
Borzello: If you asked this right before Selection Sunday, I would probably answer with a mid-major team that lost a heartbreaker in their conference tournament -- but I won't go that route yet. Minnesota is probably the best team that won't make the NCAA tournament, but give me Arkansas. The Razorbacks are just 4-9 in the SEC right now, but the last five of those losses came without second-leading scorer Isaiah Joe. Joe is expected to return soon and a full-strength Arkansas team was squarely in the NCAA tournament discussion. When healthy, Joe and teammate Mason Jones form one of the most explosive duos in the SEC.
Medcalf: I like this concept. I'd love to invite Clemson. Is there a better 13-12 team in the country right now? The Tigers have wins over Louisville, Syracuse, Duke and NC State. They held the great Jacksonville Dolphins, the Atlantic Sun's best offensive rebounding team, to 39 points. OK, that doesn't justify anything. But let's find a way to guarantee a spot for Clemson, which is ranked among the top-five teams in defensive efficiency in the ACC right now.
The overall résumé isn't Teflon. Clearly. The Tigers are 4-5 since that Jan. 14 victory over Duke. But their highlights this season have been impressive.
Schultz: Give me Richmond! Chris Mooney is a great coach, and the 20-6 Spiders have been causing severe headaches all season in the A-10, in large part because of their offensive balance. The key is Wagner transfer Blake Francis, a diminutive scorer who would be a ton of fun in the tournament. Because really, who doesn't love a sub-6-foot guard who can go off in March? Save for a brutal pre-Christmas affair with Radford, Richmond has otherwise been a model of consistency, boasting wins over Wisconsin, Vanderbilt, Boston College, the College of Charleston, Rhode Island and VCU. Better yet, the Spiders played Auburn very close back in November -- which included a halftime lead -- showcasing enough speed and quickness against an SEC elite to give pretty much any team problems in a one-game format.

8 Sexy Things Every Bed-Sharing Mom Wants That Don't Actually Involve Sex
Bed-sharing can be, well, rough. Sure, the whole "not getting up every two hours in the middle of the night" thing is nice, but it's not without its drawbacks. There's less room in bed, it can get too hot, you're afraid of squishing your kid, and you're on the receiving end of kicks to the face every two seconds. Oh, and sex goes out the window, too. Thankfully, there are still some erotic things you can do for bed-sharing moms that alleviate the stressful, not-so-fun parts of this particular sleeping arrangement. You guys, it's only weird if it doesn't work.
I always knew I would co-sleep, but I became a bed-sharing mom by accident. My partner and I kept our son in a bassinet, and then a crib, in our room and it was lovely. He was a great sleeper early in life, which truly made the entire postpartum process much, much easier. Just shy of his first birthday, however, he realized how much cozier mom's bed was and, well, that was that. He wasn't very big back then, but now that he's 3-years-old he is spread out like jam on toast.
While my son doesn't actually co-sleep or bed-share on a regular basis with us anymore, he does still sneak into our bed on occasion. It is what it is, I guess. Still, and regardless of how often we wake up to a 3-year-old in our overcrowded bed, my partner knows that if he wants to get on my good side all he has to do is the following:
Wash The Bed Sheets
My husband does a lot of things, but laundry isn't really one of them. So it's usually my responsibility to wash the sheets. I don't mind it much, but when he does do the laundry and I end up crawling into a bed made with fresh sheets, it's glorious.
Change The Diaper Genie
Back when my partner and I still used this handy contraption, it needed constant emptying. Sometimes it landed on me, but I must admit that my husband did it most of the time. It was nice not worrying about trying to squash another poop-filled diaper into an already overflowing can, not to mention the smell that would often fill the room.
Pass Out On The Couch
I love my partner, and I love sleeping next to him, but I don't always mind it when he falls asleep elsewhere. It's nice to have the extra space, and back in the co-sleeping days it was even nicer. We also had a guest room in the house, too, and would often alternate who had the luxury of sleeping in a bed all by themselves.
Let Her Pick Out Which Side Of The Bed To Sleep On
My spouse was always great about this. He'd let me settle into bed first before coming to bed himself. That meant I could choose which side I wanted and, yes, I often alternated.
Hand Her As Many Pillows As She Needs
This was the subject of a few half-asleep tug-o-war situations. I require a certain number of pillows and , well, my partner didn't always understand why. Still, I absolutely noticed when he did "let" me have as many pillows as I wanted and/or needed, even if it meant he had less for himself. That's love right there, my friends.
Don't Complain
Co-sleeping and bed-sharing can wear a parent out. It's not just one parent that feels it, either. Yes, it's important for couples to speak openly and honestly, but sometimes you just need to keep your b*tching to yourself (specially if it's not impacting you as severely as it's impacting your, say, breastfeeding partner). So you know, take one for the team and keep your mouth shut when you know your partner is really hurting.
Buy Her A Reading Light
Co-sleeping means not wanting to wake up a sleeping baby with a lamp or any other light. Still, sometimes you need to do something, find something, or maybe you just want to read and relax after a long day. Get her one of these and she'll dig it.
Don't Use An Alarm Clock
Babies don't respond well to alarm clocks, people. You know, kind of like our adults. So do us all a favor and don't use one for the time being. Nothing is worse than waking a sleeping baby (or a sleeping bed-sharing mom, for that matter).

Why I'm Voting For Clinton
We can vote for candidates based on how much we align with their expressed ideologies and how much we admire them as human beings, but our political system was founded by very flawed human beings -- slave-owners and wife-beaters and wealthy men who didn't feel like paying taxes. I wouldn't throw out Thomas Jefferson's words, but I cringe when I think about the fact that he could rationalize owning human beings. Eleanor Roosevelt said many things with which I agree, but she forged political alliances with bigots and bullies when she felt it was necessary.
We don't vote solely because we agree with or even like a particular candidate. There have been many politicians in my lifetime for whom I voted while holding my nose -- pretty much everyone from either major party in Chicago when I lived there -- and none I have universally admired. I think Jimmy Carter genuinely cares for the poor and has spent decades being a devoted and invaluable public servant, but his foreign policies were disastrous and his willingness to get in bed with Yasser Arafat made even a pro-Palestinian J Street Jew like me dislike and distrust him. Bill Clinton I know to be a serial harasser of women and extremely insensitive on racial issues, yet many of his policies were laudable and paved the way for progressive gains even under Republican administrations.
Politics is about compromise and consensus. It sounds great, in principle, to be an independent and to be able to say exactly what you think and vote exactly as you wish, and we need strong independent voices in Congress. But we also need people who know when to compromise for something imperfect that they can have today -- say, a health care bill to cover all Americans -- than to refuse to pass any legislation until it's precisely what they hoped to achieve. We sometimes choose to vote for people just because they can get important things done, even if they aren't the people we think would be ideal to do those things. The ideal people aren't always running or winning.
And sometimes one of the people in a particular race represents such a threat that it's far more important to vote against that person than to vote for any particular candidate. When I was young and segregationist Democrats were running for Maryland's top offices, I'd have voted Republican in a heartbeat, even though I disagree with a lot that was in the Republican party platform at the time and there were plenty of criminals in the running (hello, Spiro T. Agnew). Blocking the racists was far more important at the time than cleaning up the petty crooks. Refusing to vote, or voting for a respectable third party with no chance of winning, would not have addressed the real threat to the state from the bigots.
It sounds great to talk about revolution and major change, but I'd love for someone to point me to one revolution that didn't come at massive cost to large numbers of people, often people who didn't get any say in whether they felt strongly enough about the ends to sacrifice their families and homes. This is true whether we're talking about a war, a regime change, or a shift toward industrialization, centralization, globalization. That doesn't mean it's never worth doing but I am really uncomfortable when the word "revolution" gets thrown around as if it's a better solution than the long hard work of negotiation where sometimes it's harder to see concrete gains at any particular moment. It's only afterward, when, say, voting rights have been secured or health care has been established or same-sex marriage becomes the law of the land, that it's obvious the progress was slow but steady.
I am far more comfortable seeing my vote as a way to get someone in office who will do the things I want done than as a declaration of my admiration for or approval of a politician. Even if I thought a third party candidate had a ideal platform that best represented my personal views, I'd be much more invested in keeping the candidate who clearly would do a great deal of damage out of office than I would be in electing someone of whom I consider myself a fan. There's no one running who has policies and positions that I agree with completely, but even if there was, if I didn't see any way that person could implement those policies, I'd choose to vote for someone who could get some part of the biggest issues addressed rather than risk allowing someone who would actively oppose many of those things to take office.
I've supported Hillary Clinton this entire election cycle, not because I find her personally more admirable nor her positions more desirable than those of Bernie Sanders, but because she's been the candidate with by far the most progressive policies that a president can implement even while facing an obstructionist Congress. I'm glad Sanders pushed her to the left on several issues, I'm sorry the Democratic Party itself is leaning toward the right on several issues, but neither of those comes close to being a reason to "make a statement" by voting Green and watching Donald Trump become president. I'm sure Jill Stein is a perfectly fine person, but I might as well write in my mother, who is also a perfectly fine person with no chance of winning. Using my vote to express my personal dissatisfaction rather than to elect someone who can accomplish what I consider important for all of us goes against my values far more than anything Clinton has ever said or done.

Johnson is also running for President and is on the ballot for the Libertarian party. I don't know what they stand for, but know people who are voting for him.
I particularly like this statement from your post: "I am far more comfortable seeing my vote as a way to get someone in office who will do the things I want done than as a declaration of my admiration for or approval of a politician." I agree with that. Great writing here, Michelle.

Ask the people who are voting for him whether they know what he and the Libertarian Party stand for apart from legalizing all guns, marijuana, and whatever health care you personally can afford (keep abortion legal but no tax money should go to public health care or medicaid) -- and ask whether they're ready to pave their own roads. I don't worry much about the Libertarians because the pull more from the Republicans and Tea Party than from the Democrats, so they're biting into Trump more than Clinton, but if I thought he had a snowball's chance in hell of winning, I'd be ranting about it, believe me. Stein on the other hand is merely a loon -- believes in homeopathy, anti-vaxxer (reformed now that she's running for president and doesn't want to be embarrassed by her position), NOT Sanders' logical heir on a whole host of issues.
