Land Rover Discovery hire
By Scott Jawns
Though currently in its 4th generation, the Land Rover Discovery LR4 hasn't changed much visually since the late 80's. Hire a Land Rover Discovery if you're looking for a solid, reliable mid-size SUV with commanding road presence and strong 4x4 capabilities. Though the design isn't the most elegant, and it lacks the luxury facade of its stylish sister the Range Rover, a Land Rover Discovery rental still maintains its supremacy over similar Japanese off-roaders in looks, prestige and performance. Land Rover rentals are perfect for family vacations, and the Discovery 4 is no exception. Its 4WD capabilities can easily handle tough dessert terrains such as those found in the UAE just as well as it handles the snowy mountains or sunny beaches of Europe. If you want to rent a Land Rover Discovery you should book early no matter the season, since Land Rovers are popular rentals all year round.
Europe Rental Locations
Car rental is not just about getting a rent a car at the airport, but about receiving the best car rental service you deserve. Hire the Land Rover Discovery and let our 'meet and greet' service deliver you the keys at the airport in Spain, or let us bring you the car to your hotel in Italy for added convenience. Don't feel like driving yourself? hire any of our luxury rentals with chauffeur service and experience luxury to the fullest while travelling to France. Book your car online and get ready for your vacation in Germany resting assured you will get the best car hire, at the best car rental rate.
Range Rover info
The king of all off-road vehicles, Land Rover once advertised that 75% of all cars it has ever manufactured are still in use. Indeed, Land Rover drivers have been known to refer to other 4WD cars as "disposables". The first model was built in 1948 and was inspired by the American Jeep. It was aimed at the luxury car market and was an instant worldwide success. In the 1970s the first Range Rover Classic was introduced, and has been re-defining the term "luxury 4x4-SUV" ever since. A Range Rover rental is the most comfortable way to get around in groups and during family vacations, and that may be the reason why no luxury car fleet is complete without one. When you rent a Range Rover you enjoy the utmost comfort when driving, along with a VIP status wherever you pull up. You can also hire a Range Rover or Land Rover for off-read adventure.

Vikings to conclude with sixth season, sequel series in works
Deadline has brought word that the acclaimed History Channel drama Vikings will come to an end following its sixth season while its creator Michael Hirst and production studio MGM Television have entered discussions for a new series that would continue the saga.
RELATED: Vikings Season 5 Teasers and Key Art Revealed
The drama series, which was History Channel's first dive into scripted series, has been a ratings hit for the cable network and received consistently positive reviews from critics and audiences alike across its four seasons, with the fifth season currently having three-quarters of it aired and the finale set to air on January 30. The 20-episode sixth and final season recently wrapped production and is set to debut sometime later this year, with the series coming to an end sometime in 2020.
Season five begins with Ivar the Boneless asserting his leadership over the Great Heathen Army, while Lagertha reigns as Queen of Kattegat. Ivar's murder of his brother Sigurd sets the stage for vicious battles to come as Ragnar's sons plot their next moves after avenging their father's death. Bjorn follows his destiny into the Mediterranean Sea and Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård) who is suffering from the loss of his wife Helga, takes to the seas submitting himself to the will of the Gods. Additionally, Jonathan Rhys Meyers joins the cast as Bishop Heahmund, a fearsome warrior who passionately defends both his faith and his King.
Vikings is the critically-acclaimed series from creator and sole writer Michael Hirst (Academy Award-winning film Elizabeth and the Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated series The Tudors) and is a family saga that tells the remarkable tales of the lives and epic adventures of the raiders and explorers of the Dark Ages.

[Unilorin] Facts about Second semester • Rain Semester
First and Foremost, Second semester is the shortest based on the time scheduling for lectures, test, exam and some other school activities.
The truth remains that there's no time in second semester, everything is fast, the lectures, down to the test and exam, it is advisable for all students to make good use of their time, so the Had I known statement will be something we would be saying, because there won't be time to think about reading more or about getting more serious.
So as to get the maximum out of the second semester, we must learn to manage our time.
One of the factors that makes second semester funny and makes it look somehow is the regular light out; especially during test and exam period.
In first semester, there use to be constant power supply and flow of water.
But this is not constant in second semester. Sometimes, you might be reading in class and the power supply might just be taken off.
And if you're the type that doesn't know how second semester operates, you might be forced to reduce the time for your reading, which might discourage you that night.
One of the solutions that I think you apply is that you should make sure you're with a torch or lamp or any gadget that can give you light, even after several hours that the power supply has been put off.
The last but not the least, which is the major part of the second semester, is the Activities; departmental, faculty, & school at whole.
Many will be tricked and trapped because of activity indulgence of the person. The activities in second semester is just too much.
If you want to achieve your best in second semester, I will advice you to start away from some irrelevant activities.
Yes, you are here to study and do other things also, but if you didn't make good use of your time in second semester, what will you use the second semester break for?
There are picnics, get together, parties, SU Activities and some others. I am not saying you shouldn't go for any.
Going for all or going for none does not dictate what your grade will be. But at this same time, you should be able to make good use of your time.
Learn to manage your time,
In all things God first,
When everything is tight and tough,
Remember it's time.
Just give it time.
I wish everyone success
Thank you for reading.

OEF Summary, April 21, 2009: Troops Destroy Anti-Aircraft Weapons System in Helmand
Dispatches from the Front:
WASHINGTON, April 21, 2009 -- One militant was killed and a suspect was detained during a joint operation today by coalition and Afghan forces in southern Afghanistan.
The operation's target was an associate of a local Taliban leader suspected of aiding the transport of weapons, ammunition and fighters into northern Kandahar province.
During the operation, forces searched an isolated compound in Maywand district, about 40 miles northwest of Kandahar City. Five women and 15 children found in the compound were moved to a safe area, and forces tried to question several men believed to be under the influence of opium, officials said.
One man barricaded himself inside the building and refused to surrender. Troops forcibly entered the building, and the man was killed.
Forces found about 10 pounds of opium at the compound and detained one man for questioning.
In other Afghanistan news, coalition forces today destroyed two anti-aircraft weapons systems in southern Helmand province's Nad Ali district.
The first system was destroyed in the early morning hours after troops learned that local militants were staging an anti-aircraft gun on the back of a truck to use against coalition helicopters. Coalition forces located the gun, which was loaded and ready to use, and destroyed it with a precision strike.
The second anti-aircraft gun also was mounted on the back of a truck, and militants were seen firing the weapon near a local bazaar. It also was destroyed by coalition forces.
In recent months, enemy fighters in the area have tried unsuccessfully to use surface-to-air strikes against coalition aircraft, officials said.
No coalition force casualties were reported from the two strikes.

Considering destinations for your next family vacation? One of the many great things about New Jersey is that you don't need to travel far to experience an amazing getaway. Here are some of our personal favorite destinations to provide inspiration for your next trip.
Along the way, we invite you to join the Jersey Doesn't Stink fight by standing up to any bad NJ stereotypes or clichés you happen to encounter, particularly from those pesky reality TV shows located throughout the state.
Liberty State Park, Jersey City
If you're in the northern NJ area, bring the family over to beautiful Liberty State Park for great views of the Statue of Liberty and the New York City skyline. Take advantage of a variety of activities, including open picnic areas, fishing and crabbing, kayaking and canoeing, and more. Don't miss the Liberty Science Center where you and your family can enjoy a fun-filled approach to learning science.
Closer to the central part of the state? Check out the Asbury Park boardwalk. Known for its musical history and artistic atmosphere, Asbury offers award-winning restaurants and shops, mini golf and a water park for kids, a variety of nightlife, and a beach voted #1 in Monmouth County in 2011.
Looking for a memorable family trip in Southern New Jersey? Swing by Adventure Aquarium, located right on the Camden Waterfront. As the fifth largest aquarium in the country, Adventure Aquarium features nearly 200,000 square feet of space, over 2 million gallons of water and 8,500 animals! A truly one-of-a-kind experience, Adventure Aquarium is the only aquarium in the world to exhibit hippos, and one of only two aquariums in the country to exhibit a hammerhead shark.
So, if you bump into the ladies of the Real Housewives of New Jersey or the cast of Jersey Shore or Jerseylicious on your travels, kindly ask them to stop spreading negative stereotypes at our expense.

The cellist Klemen Hvala acquired his education at the Conservatory Ljubljana under Professor Matija Lorenz, he continued his education at the Academy of Musik Ljubljana under Professor Miloš Mlejnik and completed his studies with excellence. He participaated masterclasses for chamber music with Y. Gutman, M. Mlejnik, H. Fister, I. Ozim and other renowned professors. Already during his studies he was a member of various chamber music ensembles such as Ljubljana Cello Quartet, String Quartet Aurel, String Quartet Muzina and chamber orchestras – Chamber Orchestra of the Carinthian Music Academy and Chamber Orchestra Slovenicum. After his graduate studies he became a member of the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra and was a year later one of the founding members of the Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra. In the ensemble he worked as a cellist and assistant to the Artistic Director and in 2001 he took over the artistic leadership of the ensemble. At about the same time the series Harmony of The Spheres (Sozvočje svetov) was created which the Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra carried out in cooperation with the National Gallery Ljubljana. His broad experience and knowledge acquired during his management of the ensembles was notably furthered by his Masters degree in Management.
Aside from working in the Symphony and Chamber Orchestras, the cellist Klemen Hvala also works with the String Quartet Godalika, which is especially focusing on alternative non-classical musical genres, performing at many significant stages in Slovenia (Festival Druga godba, Jazz Cerkno, Radikal šik, Cankarjevi torki, Festival Lent), with musicians such as Vasko Atanasovski, Samo Šalamon, Drago Ivanuša, Nino de Gleria, Boštjan Gombač and did guest performances (in the jazz club Joe's pub Manhattan, New York). As a member of the Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra, Klemen Hvala has received several awards: The Prešeren Fund Award (1999), Župančič Award (2004), Betetto Award (2006) and the Plaque of the City of Ljubljana (2012). In the season 2011/12 he performed as cello in the theatre performance The Storm by A. Ostrovsky in the Municipal Theatre Ljubljana. In 2012 this very performance won all awards at the Maribor Borštnik Theatre Festival including the Music Award for music "which was marvellously carried out by the Volga Ensemble".

Sydney may be one of the world's great cities, but for Goodman, it's also just one of the cities we call home.was the first market we invested in, via a purchase in South Sydney over 20 years ago. Today, we own 46 properties in the city's prime industrial precinct, an area which extends from the airport at Mascot to the fringe of the CBD.
Between our industrial estates, warehouses and business parks, our South Sydney property portfolio provides more than 1.4 million sqm of space for around 330 customers, 65% of whom are in the transport, logistics and consumer sectors.
South Sydney has always been a prized industrial precinct, thanks to its easy access to Kingsford Smith Airport and Sydney's expanding port, and a large population base. Today, it's more valuable than ever.
Infrastructure and transport upgrades like the WestConnex passenger and freight infrastructure project are linking the area to Western Sydney. And as urban renewal leads a shift from industrial to residential development, some traditional occupiers are moving to areas like Western Sydney, where land is available and Goodman also has a large industrial property portfolio.
The trend is creating space in our South Sydney portfolio for new types of customers, who covet this area's central location and proximity to a large swathe of Sydney's population. It's also an in demand location for third party logistics operators and retailers who are thriving from the boom in e-commerce.
One such customer is Woolworths. Online food and liquor retailing is one of the fastest growing categories within online retail. So when Woolworths decided to open its first dedicated online grocery store, it worked with Goodman to find a suitable space from which to run it.
Today, at Goodman's Airgate Business Park in Mascot, Woolworths lease 9,750 sqm of combined warehouse and office space, of which 7,000 sqm is dedicated to the Woolworths online store – a conventional supermarket that is dedicated to servicing the online shopper.
While the store has been modelled on the traditional supermarket, there are key differences. In the online store, trolleys have been designed for easy picking of customer orders, and the shelves are stocked with a product range that is tailored to meet the shopping needs of the online customer – mostly, busy families with small children.
There's a bakery and deli service offering (the store bakes and slices to order), and the store includes a full range of fresh food lines as well as the usual mix of ambient, chilled and frozen foods and household products, with a layout that supports the servicing of its online customers.

London firm designs public intervention for Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Originally designed for World Refugee Day, this project is an experiment in the use of beauty to make a difference
Since civil war erupted in Syria in 2011, nearly six million people have fled the country. Today, more than 900,000 Syrian refugees are registered in Lebanon, according to UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency. Many have settled in Tripoli, Lebanon's second-largest city. It is in Tripoli, in the Qobbeh neighborhood, where the London-based design and research firm Emergent Vernacular Architecture (EVA Studio) is slated to start work this summer on a project intended to foster connection between Syrian refugees and their Lebanese neighbors.
When complete, a portion of Qobbeh's maze-like network of public stairs will have been revitalized by vibrant, pigmented cement tiles in a variety of lively patterns. "People living in vulnerable conditions deserve beauty as much as everyone else," says EVA Studio's Andrea Panizzo, on the eve of this year's World Refugee Day (June 20). "The idea is to provide a very colorful, joyful type of environment." With Simone Pagani, Panizzo cofounded EVA Studio in 2014. The practice specializes in projects geared toward social good. Previously, Panizzo spent six years at firms including Bennetts Associates, in London, and Studio Fuksas, in Rome. His humanitarian work began in Bolivia in 2010, borne from deeply rooted compassion; after World War II, Panizzo's grandparents were among the half-million Italians who fled the formerly Italian, now-Croatian city of Pola as part of the Istria-Dalmatian exodus.
EVA Studio's Qobbeh effort is part of a larger program run by the French NGO Solidarités International. Funding is provided by UN-Habitat, the United Nations agency charged with addressing urban growth and human settlements. In Tripoli, where public spaces are largely avoided following years of war and sectarian conflict, Panizzo hopes residents will view the upgraded stairs as safe, attractive, and welcoming. "Like a community living room," he says. "It's almost part of a healing process."
Extensive community engagement is key to EVA Studio's approach. In Tripoli, "we wanted to understand the immediate needs and aspirations of the people," Panizzo says. "We try to understand what is locally manufactured, and what design solutions and construction techniques and materials are more culturally appropriate than others." For the Qobbeh stairs, local artisans made the tiles; Syrian and Lebanese neighbors picked colors and patterns.
Opportunities exist for designers and architects to assist the 25.9 million refugees worldwide, says UN-Habitat program manager Yuka Terada. Based in Nairobi, Terada oversees a public space program in northwestern Kenya aimed at strengthening relationships between refugees—most of whom are South Sudanese—and the local Turkana tribe. "There are lots and lots and lots of collaboration opportunities," Terada says. (Visit unhabitat.org and click on "Get Involved.")
First, though, professionals should get familiar with UN Sustainable Development Goals, Terada says. "Sometimes I can't [accept a proposal] because it doesn't match with what we are aiming for." Panizzo has similar advice: "If you want to do good and provide help, try to understand the local context and the bigger picture." Resist the urge to offer solutions before studying the political, economic, and social context of a situation. "Leave the pencil on the drawing table," he says.
After completing a project, Panizzo adds, designers and architects should plan to stick around for qualitative assessment. In Haiti, EVA Studio's Port-au-Prince office is leading a three-year project evaluation. "It's a very long time, and it's a very slow process," Panizzo says. "But it's quite useful to understand how the site is used, how people appreciate it, what the impact is."
Eventually, Panizzo plans to establish an office in Lebanon. "This is the start of something bigger," he says of EVA Studio's work in the country. "There is so much need."

In the past few weeks, I have seen two practices pushed to the tipping point by the impact of rising patient demand on appointments, coupled with the prospect of reduced income under the 2014/15 contract. This is the point at which they, as independent contractor GP partners, earn no more than their salaried GPs, and are not prepared to continue with their GMS or PMS contract.
The interesting thing to highlight here is that the income stream for both practices is strong. The problem is that both will be spending a greater-than-affordable proportion of their resources on meeting patients' needs, paying locums and on salaried GPs.
This is a not unfamiliar problem and the solution is not necessarily to walk away from the GMS/PMS contract but instead to provide a service that the income stream justifies. This might mean offering fewer appointments, or even telling patients they have to go to the walk-in centre or A&E to be seen – an anathema to most GPs, but a move that might prevent a practice collapsing over its tipping point.
On a macro scale, there would be no better way of signalling to health ministers and experts at the DH that proper health care requires proper funding.

And let me tell you...or rather show you... because they are a mess!
These are 2 of the 3 blackberries. Kind of difficult to see amongst all the weed and the other I forgot to remove the cage, now I have to cut it off.
Here are the blackberries after 6 weeks. I have been working on the gardens in small increments after work and on weekends--weather permitting. These finally look healthy. I cleaned up the beds and pruned back the dead growth. I need to cut the cage off the middle plant, add some compost and straw mulch these beds.
Rhubarb before and after 4 weeks. After clearing the bed of weeds, they were cut down to 2 inches above the soil and have bounced back beautifully.
Strawberries...one of these it not like the others! They are loaded with berries. Time to get the netting out if I have any hope of harvesting before the wildlife strips the plants bare.
2 of my 3 peach trees died. It took me calling 5 different Lowes, but I managed to track down 2 peach trees. The bummer? If I had pulled the trees before April 24, my 1 year warranty would have been in effect and I could have had the replaced for free. DOH! We picked the trees up yesterday, gave them a nice long drink and they are going in the ground tonight. I am also wrapping the trunks and going to put perimeter cages around the trees to protect them from wildlife and the hubb's weedwhacker!
Oh the flower beds...so very very ugly!! Here is an example of 1 bed, but they are all in the same condition. Before--filled with poison ivy, buckeye, poke plant, oxalis, and who know what else.
We are scaling the garden down this year, for a few of reasons.

Why do we fall?

Compare it if we only do small maintenance by utilizing several things that we can process and design by themselves, then the results will not be less good later. The example itself is like doing treatment in a garden area or outside our home. To add to the impression and appeal for someone visiting the house, we should decorate this area so that it becomes a pleasant sight for people to see while heading home.
The thing we can do for example is to plant flower bushes. Later, these flower bushes will grow and we can decorate them horizontally around a certain path or area that we want to decorate, such as trees, the edges of pedestrians, or around our homes, such as under a window.
For more details, we can see various examples of ideas that we can find through the internet. There will be many examples that can be our ideas and inspiration for us to apply in our homes later. However, also adjust to the current weather conditions, so you can adjust the flowers you want to grow with the weather that is in progress.
We can use it as a flower bush garden for children's playground too later. Surely this will make the atmosphere around the house more natural and also comfortable to enjoy. If the area of your home garden is large enough, there is no harm in trying to do and implement this.

Actions speak louder than words, as the old saying goes. So why does the media focus so much attention on what Wall Street says about companies, instead of what it does with them?
Luckily for Wall Street watchers, the Internet brings us MSN Money's list of which companies the institutions are buying. True, we should be as skeptical of Wall Street's actions as we are of its words. But when the 130,000-plus lay and professional investors on Motley Fool CAPS agree with Wall Street's opinions, it just might be time for some buying.
Here's the latest edition of Wall Street's Buy List, alongside our investors' opinions of the companies involved:
Recent Price
(5 max):
SunTrust Banks

Isle of Capri Casinos
Companies are selected from the "Institutional Ownership Up Last Month" list published on MSN Money on the Saturday following close of trading last week. Recent price provided by Yahoo! Finance. CAPS ratings from Motley Fool CAPS.
Wall Street vs. Main Street
Wall Street traders are snapping up these stocks just as fast as they can click the "buy" button, but down here on Main Street, we're happy to be quit of 'em. Fact is, we don't like these stocks very much at all -- with one exception.
That would be Omniture, a Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendation and the subject of today's column. Without further ado, let's jump right in and review ...
The bull case for Omniture
- CAPS All-Star vprtwatcher introduced us to Omniture back in October as the "Recognised leader in web optimisation, benefiting from long term trend toward commerce moving online." This investor was particularly enthused by the company's "[r]ecurring business model ... with 50%+ organic growth and prospect for huge (non-GAAP) profit margin as the customer base grows."
- 50% growth in a recession?! Yes, indeedy. Fellow All-Star silentrumble argued in December: "This economic recession is not going to stop the migration of commerce to the web and [Omniture] is the strongest player in Web analytics. There will always be a need for companies to optimize their products for the consumer and these software products are ideally suited for this."
- Of course, there's still the matter of valuation to address. This one stumped another of our All-Star class, nonzerosum, who lamented a month ago that it's "Hard to judge fair value because there is no [free cash flow] or earnings, so I took EBITDA and deducted 50% for taxes and depreciation and got [fair value] around $27. I like that they're growing despite the recession and online stores will grow over the next 5-20 years."
While I generally agree with the above sentiments, I beg to differ with the last point in particular. While it's true that Omniture has no earnings of the GAAP variety, the company does indeed have free cash flow -- $23 million worth of the stuff generated last year alone. However, that number is still too low for my taste.
Make no mistake: Omniture is a quality outfit, and a worthy competitor to Web rivals such as Google
Time to chime in
Just because Omniture's valuation gives me the willies, doesn't necessarily mean that you should avoid the stock. Fact is, the team at Motley Fool Stock Advisor has high hopes for this company. Fact also is that Fool co-founders David and Tom Gardner have walloped the S&P 500's returns for years by picking stocks as improbably valued as Omniture appears to be today.
And that, really, is the beauty of The Motley Fool. It doesn't matter so much whether you love a stock or hate it. What matters here is the strength of your argument.
So how about it? Tell us yours. It's free.

Great Vietnamese regional cooking – Pho for those in the know:
Hands up who's been to a Chinese restaurant? Everyone – unless you've just arrived in London from another planet. The same is probably true for Thai and Japanese restaurants which are now on almost every local high street. On the other hand, Vietnamese places like the excellent Mien Tay are still a fairly rare sight.
In recent years, however, they have been slowly becoming more visible – and now they even have their own named cluster, the Pho Mile, a spread of a dozen or so Vietnamese eateries in hipster Shoreditch. But then Shoreditch is a part of London where you'll find every kind of World cuisine – even Burmese at Lahpet for instance.
Mien Tay is on that restaurant strip but also has other branches around London, in Fulham, Wood Green and Battersea with each one run by a family member. The Mien Tay name comes from the family's home region around the lush and fertile Mekong Delta and its cuisine, therefore, contains a wide variety of meat, fish, herbs and vegetables combined in lots of lovely ways.
Five minutes' walk up from Clapham Junction station Mien Tay's Battersea outpost is a bright, no fuss place, where the welcome is a warm and friendly one. The tables are fun – each containing a mini-tableau of a Vietnamese village scene covered by a glass top.
Mien Tay's drinks list has been thoughtfully put together to complement the wide range of food and flavours and has recommendations for what European or New World white, red or rose wine (very reasonably priced) goes with what dish. Wanting to be as authentic as possible, we went for the imported (very drinkable) Saigon beer instead.
The food arrives pretty fast so it's an idea to order starters, eat them, and then order again as you go. To begin, we decided on the spring rolls – these were tastily stuffed with a minced up mixture of chicken and prawns in a roughly textured and crunchy coating served with a sweet chilli dip.
One of Mien Tay's most popular dishes is the chargrilled quail with honey, garlic and spices and it wasn't hard to see why. The honey gave the quail a barbecue taste which was rather good in itself but the dip (made with salt, pepper, lime juice and a little wasabi) added a special extra dimension. Eaten with fingers, it was a greasy-chinned treat.
Having never tried catfish, let alone one from the Mekong Delta, next up we had to go for the stewed Mekong catfish. The meat was nicely fatty and firm, not unlike salmon we thought, served with plain rice and a deeply flavoured fish and dark soy sauce. Really tasty.
As the restaurant has been highly praised (by A A Gill no less) for its Pho (pronounced 'fuh'), Vietnam's national dish, we had to have it and chose the Pho Tai Nạm. In the bowl was beef broth, sliced beef brisket, noodles (which seemed to be two feet long) and coriander, to which we added bean sprouts, lime and some fabulous Thai basil with its strong aniseed taste. Very tasty. (But maybe not something to choose for a first date – it's quite a splashy dish. Tip: wear old clothes or a bib…)
Desserts were mainly ice cream so we tried the Vietnamese taro ball (a root vegetable cooked to a gnocchi-like texture) in coconut milk with coconut slices, served hot.
What we had to eat can only give you a glimpse of the range of dishes on offer at Mien Tay. You could probably go for lunch and dinner for a month and still find something different to try. It would all be really flavoursome – and you'd probably be healthier at the end of it.
Although it has common elements with Chinese, Vietnamese food is absolutely distinct, based on a mix of sweet and sour, salt and hot flavours from cane sugar, citrus juice, fish sauce and chillis. Add that and more to frog's legs, goat or seabass, let alone chicken, prawn or pork, and it's no surprise Mien Tay is so popular – even on cold, wet Tuesday nights.
''Mien Tay may well be the best Vietnamese restaurant in London" said A A Gill. He would certainly know and who am I to disagree?

Every holiday season I find myself both looking forward to and dreading giving gifts. I love picking out things that I know that my friends and family will love but sometimes I just can't think of anything that would be a perfect fit for my friends. That gets stressful.
Especially now that I'm in college, I have a small budget when it comes to buying gifts. So, what do I give my other college friends as stocking stuffers for this year's holiday season? Read the article below for seven easy, cheap, and useful stocking stuffer gifts for college students. They're perfect for any friends on your list.
1. Key finder
You know that friend who always takes 20 minutes to come outside just because they lost their keys or wallet? Well, this is the perfect gift for them. The tile is designed to be attached to your easily lost objects. All you need to do is connect it with the app on your phone and it will tell you where your lost item is. This is the perfect gift to save both you and your friend time and frustration.
2. Lip balm
There is nothing worse than having chapped lips, and the problem is always the worst this time of year. The solution to this: plenty of lip balm. Everybody loves lip balm so there is really no going wrong when buying this gift for a friend. You can get them flavored, tinted, or regular; the options are endless!
3. Portable charger
The worst part of everyone's day is looking at their phone and realizing they are at 20% with no charger in sight. For the friend that is always on their phone or complaining about their phone battery, a portable charger is a fantastic little gift. Now you can spend endless time together taking the best photos without having to worry about whether their battery will survive the night.
4. String lights with speaker
The best way to make a small space such as a dorm room look infinitely better is by adding string lights. They take any space from drab to fab. They are also just really pretty to look at. But, why not take it a step further and get your friends string lights with a Bluetooth speaker? This is a fun gift that will ensure your friend can jam out to tunes and have the best-looking room on campus. Believe me, their room will become the new hot spot.
5. Fun socks
Remember when you were younger and you absolutely dreaded getting socks for Christmas? Now, there's nothing better. Socks are always a simple and fun gift idea. You can get fuzzy socks, socks with sayings on them, socks with pictures, long socks, short socks: it doesn't matter. (These fuzzy bear socks are super cute and only $5!) Socks are a great present to give to your friends in their stockings this year.
6. PopSocket
PopSockets are all the rage right now and they make for a great addition for the back of the phone. They make phones easier to grip, can double as a phone stand for those nights of watching Netflix, and are just cute accessories. Not to mention, they're cheap!
7. Earphones
I don't really need to tell you that earphones are a college student essential. Whenever you need a break from your roommate, need to concentrate in the library, or just want to listen to music in public, earphones are must-haves. You really can't go wrong when getting earphones for someone, because no one can have too many pairs. Pick one out in your friend's favorite color and you are sure to be their hero.
What are you getting your friends this year?
The holidays are a time to spend with your family and friends — so don't get too caught up in what you're buying for them. Although most of these options are under $30, you can find cheaper options that your friends will still love. Try making them a homemade gift or treat them to dinner the next time you hang out. Remember: it's the thought that counts.
What do you get your college aged friends for the holidays? Do you have a stocking stuffer gift that you love? Let us know in the comments!


text: Just recently the reward for completing a mission just doesn't justify the effort needed to finish it. Never mind the frustration of never really feeling like some space ninja. It's impossible to actually do a stealth mission, even if you are super careful to kill all the enemy without raising an alarm it just goes and re-spawns them behind you anyway making it a waste of time. I'm now encountering enemy that are killing my level 30 warframes with one shot - no matter what mods I have on board or what HP\Shields I have. I guess this is the point where they have you start spending money on buffing up if you want to progress any further. But I don't see the point in that, it's not like you get a better experience for your money. Just the same only slightly less frustrating!

Release Management/Release Process Checklist Documentation
The goal of this page is to document the Release Process Checklist being used by Firefox Release Managers to track each release throughout the cycle. Any changes to this documentation or the checklist should be reflected in both documents.
- 1 Nightly Checklist
- 2 Beta Checklist
- 3 RC Uplifts
- 4 RC Checklist
- 5 WNP Checklist
- 6 Go-Live Checklist
- 7 Off-train Rollouts
- 8 Dot Release Uplifts
- 9 Dot Release Checklist
- 10 Fenix releases
- 11 Focus releases
Nightly Checklist
Given the nature of how nightly builds are created and shipped, the role of the release manager during this phase of the cycle skews much more heavily to the monitoring aspect rather than release mechanics.
Prior to the start of the cycle, the follow tasks need to be performed:
- Update the milestones tab on release tracking spreadsheet. Check milestones tab of release template for how to. This will ideally be ready at least two weeks prior to the start of the cycle, with feedback received from key stakeholders (QA, RelEng, RelMan) prior to wider publishing.
- Verify that the release calendar is up to date. This can be done in conjunction with the milestones document or after it's published.
- Ensure that the release has a Regression Engineering Owner identified. Ultimately, ownership of this task falls within the Firefox engineering org. However, it is good for the release manager to ensure that this doesn't get stalled.
- On Merge Day: Add tracking and status flags for the new Nightly version. Example bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1606669
On a daily (or thereabouts) basis, the following items should be monitored:
- Pending tracking-firefoxXX requests. These are bugs which have been nominated for extra tracking during the cycle. A decision needs to be made about whether the bug indeed warrants that additional attention, and possibly even blocker status. At the beginning of the cycle, bug queries will need to be created for this purpose. Once that query exists, the item in Column A can be updated to a link. (TODO: document tracking decision making process)
- Open tracking-firefoxXX+ and blocking bugs. The main purpose of this step is to ensure that bugs falling into these categories don't stagnate. Where possible, release managers should ensure that the bug is in the right component, has an appropriate assignee (for either investigating or fixing, depending on the stage of the bug), and is in general making progress (and poking if it doesn't appear to be). In the case of blocker bugs, expediting a fix or backout may become necessary. At the beginning of the cycle, bug queries will need to be created for this purpose. Once that query exists, the item in Column A can be updated to a link.
- Newly-filed regression bugs. This can be done in conjunction with the Regression Engineering Owner of the release. Bug queries should be available from the Platform wiki page. New regressions are generally the most important to track on a regular basis, but the carry-over regression lists can also surface bugs which have fallen off the radar which may require reprioritization.
- Review stability rates and reported crash spikes. This can be spikes detected by automation, which sends email which is usually monitored by the stability team. Release managers may also want to pay attention to these spikes and help file bugs. Also keep an eye on stability through monitoring the Mission Control rate and top crashes on crash-stats.
On a weekly basis, a review of the Firefox Trello board should be done to monitor the status of features currently targeting that release. This can be done in conjunction with the weekly cross-functional meeting or Nightly feature deep-dive meeting. Release managers are also encouraged to watch the list for their release in order to receive notifications for any changes in status.
The release manager should also review the test plans for features targeting their releases to become familiar with how the feature works and how we intend to ensure it is of sufficient quality to ship in that release. This also gives an opportunity to provide feedback on the risk analysis and mitigations put in place.
Once mid-Nightly and pre-Beta test reports are emailed by QA, the release manager should check the newly-reported bugs to make sure flags are set correctly and the new issues have been addressed by engineering and product teams and prioritized accordingly. Release managers can help make sure that all of the pertinent information is in place to make decisions about whether the feature is ready to ship to Beta or whether it should remain Nightly-only for another cycle for more testing and development.
Near the end of the cycle, the following actions must be performed:
- Send Nightly soft freeze reminder to dev-platform & firefox-dev. This should be done a week before the start of the soft freeze to remind developers that the window for landing riskier fixes is coming to a close until after the version bump.
- Create the Release Process spreadsheet. This must be done prior to the first merge of mozilla-central to mozilla-beta in time for the b1 build. Duplicate the existing template.
- Prepare Beta release notes. This must be done before the release goes to the wider Beta audience (after the final merge to Beta and Nightly version bump has happened). (TODO: document the release note creation process)
Beta Checklist
Ongoing Tasks
Once a release moves to the Beta channel, the daily tasks performed during the Nightly cycle will continue to be carried out as new bug reports come in from a wider audience and new features move through the QA cycle towards shipping.
There is also an added triage step during Beta - monitoring the "missed uplifts" email or queries to find issues fixed in Nightly but that still affect Beta. The release owner should check these issues to assess whether uplift is a good idea. If not, then the issue should be marked wontfix for Beta.
Release Tasks
To ship a release, a series of steps must be taken with various roles representing multiple teams expected to contribute. In the Release Process spreadsheet, the Beta Checklist template tab should be duplicated for each new release for proper tracking. After a release is shipped, the tab can be hidden in order to minimize clutter.
- Review tracking-firefoxXX+ bugs and approval requests. As noted above, regular triage of tracking+ bugs and uplift approval requests must be performed. Approval requests can be viewed via the Release Tracking Report on Bugzilla.
- Verify all approved bugs landed on mozilla-beta. After approving patches for uplift, they must be pushed to the mozilla-beta repository. This task can be performed by the Tree Sheriffs (#sheriffs on IRC) or by the release manager themselves depending on their comfort level. The longer-term goal is to automate the process.
- Set up builds in ship-it (Desktop, DevEdition, Fennec). Ship-it is the tool used for scheduling the release process, starting with the creation of the builds (picking a revision, verifying the version number, etc) and the eventual pushing of those builds to the release mirrors and website. Access to ship-it requires being connected to the Mozilla VPN. When automated beta builds are enabled, this happens for Firefox and DevEdition without human action at 04:00 UTC on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Due to limited QA resources and low rate of changes, Fennec betas are typically only created once a week. However, it is within the release manager's discretion to create an extra Fennec beta build when warranted. In that situation, QA must be informed of the coming build so they can plan accordingly.
- Treeherder tests green/starred. Treeherder is the primary dashboard for monitoring the results of builds and tests. It is the responsibility of the sheriffs to monitor the Beta repository and ensure that tests are passing, though the release manager can also keep an eye on things. Builds should not be started until CI has passed to avoid shipping defective code to end users.
- Start builds from ship-it. Once CI results are good, the process of generating the builds (go-to-build) is started by clicking the promote button for each release. This is only necessary for Fennec and for manual desktop builds.
- Confirm builds have started. Emails will be sent to the release-signoff mailing list once builds have started and a notification will be posted in the #releaseduty IRC channel.
- Confirm notification sent when builds finish. An automated email will be sent to the release-signoff mailing lists once the release promotion process is finished. Example: the email has the subject line "firefox 67.0b19 build1/mozilla-beta is in the candidates directory".
- Schedule push to CDN. After the initial builds are completed, they will be located in the /candidates directory of the main Mozilla FTP server. Prior to widespread shipping, the builds must also be pushed out to CDN mirrors. Because it is difficult and time-consuming to un-ship releases once they have been pushed to CDNs, this step must be performed after it is confirmed that the created builds are satisfactory. For Beta releases, this should wait until after the update-verify tasks have passed to ensure the integrity of the partial updates created during the release promotion process. The CDN push is started from ship-it by clicking the push button for each release. This is typically the final step for the go-to-build day itself. This is only necessary for manual desktop builds.
- Confirm notification sent when CDN push finishes. An automated email will be sent to the release-signoff mailing lists once the push to cdntest has finished successfully. Sample email subject line: "firefox 67.0b19 build1/mozilla-beta has been pushed to cdntest".
- Push Desktop/DevEdition to Beta. The release is scheduled in ship-it by pushing the ship button for each release.
- Signoff on scheduled rule change in Balrog. Once the push to Beta is completed, the new updates rules will need signing off in Balrog (where all update rules are managed). Sample email subject from Taskcluster: "firefox 67.0b19 build1/mozilla-beta updates are ready for signoff in Balrog!". Access to Balrog requires being connected to the Mozilla VPN. Note that Desktop Firefox releases are signed off on the Beta channel and DevEdition releases are signed off on the Aurora channel. Also confirm in the #releaseduty IRC channel that someone from RelEng is available to sign off on the rule change. Also verify that the scheduled rollout % is consistent with what is specified in the milestones document.
- Verify that the Balrog rule changes are live. In order to verify that the rule changes have taken proper effect, refresh the page to confirm that the changes are no longer showing as pending.
- QA manual testing signoff for Fennec. Ask in the #qa-coordination Slack channel if there are questions about progress.
- Push Fennec to Play Store. This is done within ship-it.
- Numbered list item
- Verify that new release is live on Google Play at desired rollout %.
- Email release-signoff with confirmation that updates are live. Be sure to note the rollout % as well.
- QA manual testing signoff for Desktop/DevEdition. Ask in the #qa-coordination Slack channel if there are questions about progress.
- Update tests on Aurora & Beta. Final verification by QA that updates are working on the live update channels.
Summary of email notifications for QA/relman
Here is an example of the subject lines of emails to expect on release-signoff, and what they mean.
- 1. [desktop] Build of firefox 67.0b16 build 2
- Sent when relman sets up a new build in ship-it and starts the "build promotion" process. Several hours later (4-7 or so) builds will start to appear in the candidates directory. Be sure to note the build number and test the right builds.
- 2. firefox 67.0b16 build2/mozilla-beta is in the candidates directory
- Sent when all the builds are complete. These builds can be used for manual/functional testing.
- 3. firefox 67.0b16 build2/mozilla-beta has been pushed to cdntest
- When this email is sent, the builds are ready for update testing on the beta-cdntest channel.
- 4. firefox 67.0b16 build2/mozilla-beta updates are ready for signoff in Balrog!
- This is an automated notice, for the release managers, that releng has set up the update rules in Balrog (a control panel for the update server).
- 5. [desktop] Please push firefox and devedition 67.0b16 to beta and aurora, respectively
- This email is sent by a QA lead, meant as signoff for manual and update testing. It alerts relman to go do that final signoff in Balrog.
- 6. Reply to the above "Please push" email
- This is sent manually by release management, to acknowledge that the release is now live. It's now ready for update testing on the beta channel.
- 7. [desktop] Firefox 67.0b16 - Updates on Beta Channel signed off by QA
- This email is sent by a QA lead, to report the results for update testing after the release is live.
RC Uplifts
This tab is for tracking bugs which are being tracked for possible uplift to the mozilla-release repository for RC builds. The primary objectives are:
- Track whether there are any drivers for a respin of the RC builds during RC week.
- Assess whether Desktop, Fennec, or both are affected by the issues noted.
- Verify that all drivers have had an explicit decision made.
RC Checklist
The RC checklist, like the Beta checklist, should be cloned for each RC build created (RC1, RC2, etc). Most of the steps for the RC checklist are the same as the Beta checklist, but with a few notable differences as discussed below.
- In ship-it, click "release" to set up the build. The release date/ETA should be 1pm UTC (6am Pacific) for the projected release date unless otherwise arranged. Build 1 will be your RC1. If you need an RC2, then cancel build 1 and start RC2.
- Sample partials (for 66.0 RC): 65.0.2build1,65.0.1build2,65.0build2,64.0.2build1,66.0b14build1
- Update test on beta-cdntest; QA will email release-signoff to push Desktop to Beta at 100%. Relman can then click "push RC" in ship-it. (RC builds can be pushed to Beta users once they receive sign-off from QA.) The beta and beta-cdntest channels download RC builds from the `candidates` directory, so this happens prior to pushing to releases (aka CDNs). Pushing to release users is covered by the Go-Live Checklist elsewhere.
- Verify rollout % of current release in Play Store. If the current latest version is on a staged rollout, pushing a newer release to the Play Store with a 5% staged rollout will overwrite the previous staged rollout and the fallback version may not be the expected one. This step is to verify that users not getting the 5% RC rollout will still get the latest stable release instead.
- Push to Play Store at 5%. Because of how the Play Store works, we are unable to ship Fennec RC builds to Beta users prior to release like we do for Desktop Firefox builds. In order to get pre-release testing coverage, Fennec RC builds are therefore pushed release users on the Play Store at 5% once they receive QA sign-off.
- product-details won't change You'll still see the last beta build in product details and on the downloads page; however, users already on beta will get the RC in updates.
- WNP testing on release-localtest. RC week is when testing of the What's New Page for the new release commences. This is done on the release-localtest channel by QA and a sign-off email will be sent once testing has been completed. It's not necessary for every RC build to go through this testing as long as there has been a successful sign-off by the end of RC week.
RC week is also the time to finalize release notes and begin gathering feedback from the #release-notes Slack channel.
WNP Checklist
The What's New Page has been something which has suffered from coordination problems in the past, since it requires contributions from Marketing, Localization, Web Development, and QA. A meeting should be held a few weeks prior to Go-Live to establish a timetable for the steps listed in the checklist.
Go-Live Checklist
Similar to the Beta and RC checklists, there are many common steps which have been previously covered above. Items specific to Go-Live are noted below.
Prior To Launch Day
- Gather feedback for release notes. As noted in the RC Checklist section, the release notes will go throw review and revision by the UX and Marketing teams. Once the draft is ready to be shared, do so in the #release-notes Slack channel and then incorporate the revisions provided once ready.
- Request Legal signoff on relnotes. This is usually requested by the UX team. Confirm that it was requested and that signoff was granted (must be confirmed prior to launch day).
- Check for crash spikes with RC builds. We must verify that there are no obvious crash spikes in the pre-release data from the RC builds.
- Schedule push to CDN (ship-it). This should be done on the day prior to Go-Live so that the release is staged on the mirrors and verified working prior to launch day.
Launch Day
- Schedule push to release at 25% (ship-it). Go-Live time is usually 6am PT on launch day, but this can be done ahead of time with a scheduled rule change in Balrog.
- Make release notes live. There is a 15-20min lag between making the change in Nucleus and the live website picking up this change, so plan to do this 15-30min prior to go-live.
- Sign-off on scheduled rule change in Balrog. Assuming that the change is scheduled for 6am PT, this can be signed off ASAP to avoid unnecessary delays at go-live time.
- Bump Fennec update rate to 25% in Play Store. Should have been at 5% previously.
- Verify that new release is live on mozilla.org. Verify that download requests are pointing to the new version. This can probably be moved to the delivery dashboard.
- Email release-drivers & release-signoff that updates are live at 25%. Once the release is confirmed to be live, send an email to release-signoff & release-drivers confirming for that audience that the release has been pushed. Also confirm the rollout %.
- Update tests on Release; WNP testing on Release. QA will send a sign-off email when this is completed.
- Verify that the release notes are live.
- Verify versions in firefox_versions.json and mobile_versions.json. This can probably be moved into a step where we verify a number of things on the delivery dashboard.
- Security advisories go live. Starting with 69 launch, release owner (from relman team) will own pushing the sec advisory live. This used to be handled by the security team post-launch.
- Email announce list. Send an email confirming the new release, following the general form shown on the release wiki page.
- Schedule Desktop update rate to 0% in Balrog after 24 hours. It is recommended to do this on launch day to avoid forgetting about it the day after. This change can be made in Balrog by either RelEng or RelMan, though both will need to sign off on the rule change afterwards.
- (Launch Day +1) Verify Desktop update rate at 0% in Balrog.
- (Launch Day +1) Email release-signoff & release-drivers to confirm 0% throttling. Once updates are confirmed to be throttled, email release-signoff & release-drivers confirming that the change is live. This can be a reply-all to the previous push emails to keep the history in one thread.
- (Launch Day +2) Review release crash rates and incoming bugs for new blockers. There won't be much new data yet two days after release, but any obvious crash spikes or critical regressions will likely be known.
- (Launch Day +2) Bump Desktop update rate to 100% in Balrog. If there are no known quality issues, full rollout to the Desktop release population can proceed. Change the rollout value in Balrog and ping in the #releaseduty IRC channel to get RelEng sign-off of the rule change.
- Email release-signoff & release-drivers to confirm full rollout. Once Desktop updates are bumped to 100%, email release-signoff & release-drivers to confirm. This can be a reply-all to the previous push emails to keep the history in one thread.
- Ship new Desktop release in Ubuntu Snap Store. This can be done once the Desktop update rate is bumped to 100%. Documentation for managing Snap releases. (The ESR snap should not need manual intervention - it is handled in release warrior automation.)
- Bump Fennec update rate to 99% in Play Store. The Fennec update rate is bumped to 99% because the Play Store doesn't provide a mechanism for un-releasing a version once it reaches 100% deployment. Going to 99% allows most users to receive the new release while preserving the ability to throttle if a new issue is found. The rate is typically bumped to 100% the following week if no major quality issues have arisen or with the release of the first Fennec dot release.
- Upload Fennec in the Samsung store. This is handled manually by Sylvestre at the moment. Ryan or Liz can also do this.
- Login at https://seller.samsungapps.com/join/joinNow.as.
- download the apk, example,
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/66.0.2/android-api-16/multi/ Should be ~50MB
- Rename the file to replace dots with underscores (except the .apk of course)
- example: fennec-64_0_2-multi-android-arm.apk
- upload it, stick with defaults for various choices
- Then delete the old one.
- (Monday After Launch Week) Bump Fennec update rate to 100% in Play Store. If no major quality issues have arisen with the release and a dot release is not being actively planned, bump the rollout to 100% the week after launch.
Off-train Rollouts
This may not be the best long-term place to track the off-train rollouts affecting a given release (i.e. Normandy, GoFaster, SHIELD studies, etc), but until a better dashboard exists, this provides a place to keep track of things. More information on off-train releases.
Dot Release Uplifts
Similar to the RC Uplifts tab. The primary purpose of this tab is to track any bugs driving a dot release, bugs which are under consideration to ride-along with a dot release if one is created, and to assess which products are affected by any drivers.
It is up to the release manager what should go into a dot release, and we try to keep these uplift guidelines in mind. Adding even what looks like a trivial fix can add risk, both to the process (delay, extra testing, work for other teams) and to causing new regressions. For security issues, we may not want to take them in a dot release unless there is particular pressure to do so.
Dot Release Checklist
The checklist for dot releases is essentially a combination of the RC and Go-Live checklists and the items should be treated mostly the same (except under chemspill situations where an accelerated time table may apply).
Of note, however, is the need for the release manager to email the release-drivers list prior to the creation of the builds (ideally shortly after the decision is made to go forward with the release) to notify all stakeholders of the forthcoming release. Also, the release manager should verify that the rollout percentages in Balrog & Google Play for the current release are set as expected (taking into account any blocking quality issues) to avoid unexpected fallback versions when the new release ships. Finally, if there are security fixes being included in the release, email abillings (or whoever from the security team handles CVEs and security advisories) to ensure that they are aware of the bugs being fixed.

By Peg Brown
March—the third month—we all know the aphorisms: "March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb, "or "March is mad as a hare" (referring to let's just say aggressive mating habits of animals during spring). We also know that the month is synonymous with green beer, zeppoles, too much basketball, and has the dubious designation as the longest month without a school vacation in sight.
With these topics available for comment, why would I choose to write a column that you might think more appropriate for Memorial Day or Veteran's Day, or just about any other time of the year?
A recent personal health challenge gave me an unusual amount of time to catch up on my favorite PBS series. Among those programs was an in depth look at the life and career of Bob Hope. The documentary, which included comments from friends, colleagues and family members, was an honest portrayal of the man's accomplishments and indiscretions, his generosity and human flaws, and a reaffirmation of the decades long commitment he had to bringing a touch of home to the United States military forces stationed abroad–beginning in World War II and extending through the Korean, Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq wars and conflicts.
What was most riveting in the film clips of his many visits to these combat areas, were the black and white images of the faces of very young men (and later women), teenagers in many cases, laughing– and crying amid the chaos and carnage of their lives as soldiers. While the venues and uniforms changed over the decades, the faces of their common shared experience, whatever the conflict, were always the same—young, hopeful, afraid—a common bond across the years with those who themselves had experienced the loneliness and fear of war.
The program led me to search out family documents that I had been intending to review, record and preserve, but had never found the right moment to undertake what I perceived to be would become an all- consuming project. Amongst a pile of fragile letters, dated between 1905 and 1928, written on unlined paper, now yellowed and stained with age, was a three page note in pencil, dated November 16, 1918. It begins with the salutation, "Dear Sister." The family archive is largely a collection of correspondence between Lottie Angevine and her brother Frank, who served in Europe during World War I. I'd like to say that these letters had been lovingly preserved by the family. However, truthfully, they had resided unceremoniously at the bottom of a box that by chance missed the dumpster a number of times.
The Bob Hope special had sent me in search of confirmation that the shared experiences of those who experienced similar trials and emotions formed a unique bond among those who never actually met, but who could, at any time, share a bond with one another through a moment spent in like circumstances.
Let me share an excerpt from this 1918 letter: "Well the War is History and History is the past. The guns roar no longer and the —— (a commonly know bombing plane) no longer flies overhead, ready to spray you with machine gun fire and bombs—and every night we sleep in the same French man's house and eat our meals off a table. I can't realize it yet, but they say it's true and we are just outside Le Mans which was captured by this division a few hours before the Armistice was signed. I won't write much about that now for I will be telling you about it while you cook up big feeds and fill my pipe with Edgeworth's tobacco –yes, the smell will be foul…I am too excited to write much now but the news was great. The civil population crowded into the streets and cheered and cried for (days?) and they brought flags and…threw bottles of wine and champagne and gave it to us and did everything they could to please us as the long job is done and it was a hard one. If everything goes well, I will be home in early spring so I will close for now hoping this finds you well as it leaves me. Frank"
But my message is not just about shared experiences during war, but the links we have to others through everyday contacts. If you will indulge an aging former teacher of English, no one, in my opinion, expressed this more clearly than the late 19th century poet, Walt Whitman. In his poem, "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," the lone narrator focuses on his surroundings, most importantly on the passengers who are seeing the same landscape, feeling the same waves, and hearing the pounding of the engines. It occurs to him that all those commuters traveling on the ferry now, in the past and in the future share commonalties—that "shared experiences can unite people across different historical eras," and that "all humans are connected across time and space." And, not to get too literary, his choice of the word "crossing" (a present participle), implies time continuous, with no beginning or end for having shared experiences during the mundane routines of everyday life—or, more eloquently put "the narrative thread that connects all human beings." (Gundersen, K. 16 August 2014).
What by now probably seems to you, the reader, a very disorganized article, I come back to the beginning. We have all shared space with individuals during the many moments of our life—most of them strangers traveling, shopping, vacationing, working, being entertained in some venue, or just sitting next to you in the bar. For that second, minute, hour or day, you have a shared experience that connects you to all others that have walked the same path.
My recent hospitalization, almost two weeks, in shared space, with rotating room-mates, changes in shifts, and in the echoing silence of the beeping hospital sounds at night, reminded me that we are all in some way linked—all we must do is tell our story and listen.
Author's notes:
The Armistice was signed by Germany and the Allies at the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month—November 11, 1918—at Compiegme, France. The Treaty of Versailles, not signed by all parties until June 28, 1919, went into effect on January 11, 1920.
38 million soldiers were killed, wounded or went missing during the War. Total deaths for the US were 116,516; 201,002 additional US troops were wounded; and a total of 4,734,991 US troops served. Keep in mind, the US did not enter the war until April 6, 1917, and did not begin landing in France until June 26, 1917.
PS. Luke is wishing he wasn't having a "shared experience" with other crazy owners who force their pets into the costume of the month!

There comes a time in your life when you have to face the truth about yourself. This weekend, I had to do just that.
I am a mail-hoarder.
You heard me. A mail hoarder (which is quite different from a Male Hoarder, which doesn't sound like a bad deal at all).
I was deep-cleaning my house, purging rooms of unwanted stuffage, when I realized I have bags and bags (literally!) of mail. It was frightening in it's proportions, believe me.
See, the problem is I just don't do mail much anymore. When it comes in, I give it a cursory glance, remove any rare piece of personal mail (like a birthday card or something) and the one bill I can't pay online (which only comes quarterly) and the rest of it gets shoved into a pile on my kitchen countertop.
Then once a week or so, I see this pile of local newspapers, junk mail offers, coupon flyers and unopened bills that I already see online and I shove it all in a plastic grocery bag, telling myself I'll take it into work and shove it all into the shredder and then the recycle bin.
Except, I apparently never do that.
And the result is, I kept finding bag after bag of mail (some of it is months old) and then I lined them up on my kitchen table and didn't have enough room for them all. Oh. My. God. What the heck is wrong with me!
It's not like I can't bear to part with any of it. It's junk, for Pete's sake. A big bunch of junk. And for some reason, I have a mental block about getting rid of any of it. I've got a huge case of Mailzheimer's - I can't remember to get rid of my junk mail. Who the heck does this?
I guess I do. Or I did, anyway.
Today, I brought one bag in with me and it's going in the shredder. I'm bringing a bag in every day till they're gone. And from now on, I sort and toss on a daily basis. Holy crap, I am never going to get like this again.
Of course, we are getting close to Christmas and I'm now finding it hard to get rid of any boxes.....

Usually when I post one of my infamous "lessons to learn" it does NOT mean I have mastered it. It simply means I am mindful of my own flaws and I'm sharing them with you, in case you might be silly enough to think you are the only person out there that suffers from the same human condition.
My human condition, like yours, is terminal and there is no cure for it. But we can treat the symptoms. 🙂

Nearly 20 Alumni of WUT Revisited Their Alma Mater
Nearly 20 Alumni of WUT Revisited Their Alma Mater
Zhongnan Online, May 26----May 23, nearly 20 alumni of class 0220, who are from the School of Information and Engineering of WUT and majored in computer application, returned to their alma mater for exchange activities at the time of 10th graduation anniversary. The secretary of the Communist Youth League, Hu Ruinian, the supervisor of the School of Information and Engineering, Fu Yan, and some student cadres accompanied the alumni to visit the campus and attend the exchange forum, the executive vice president Professor Wang Yuanzhang took pictures with the alumni.
The gathering is divided into three parts: revisiting the campus, exchange forum, reviewing organizational life. At nine thirty that morning, the alumni, accompanied by the secretary of the Communist Youth League, teachers, students of the school, revisited the campus. After revisiting the campus, the alumni had lunch together, and then went to the conference room 316 of the School of Information and Engineering to interact with the students. At the forum, the dean of the School of Information and Engineering, Professor Wang Huawen, gave the opening remarks, he showed a warm welcome to the alumni, and hoped that the alumni could strengthen the contact with the school and revisited the campus more frequently.
At the end of the gathering, the alumni went to the club to hold an activity of reviewing organizational life. The photos of the alumni were showed in the form of PPT to recall the bit past of their university life. The alumni who failed to attend the gathering also used small videos to send their best wishes to the alma mater. Finally, after sharing their experience, the alumni finished the gathering with a song of "loving each other".
The secretary of the Communist Youth League of the School of Information and Engineering, Hu Ruinian, said "This activity not only embodies the deep feeling of the alumni to their alma mater, but also witnesses the school to cultivate a generation of talents. At the same time, the school is developing, which also needs the support of the successful alumni, I hope the students who graduated can come back to revisit their alma mater!"

California essentially feels as if the State is now its own sovereign entity, taking a defiant stand against the American Constitution and the rule of law in the United States of America.
With the rogue state continuously undermining the Federal Government, it's now taken that approach of inexplicable defiance to entirely new levels with the legislature being passed by the California State Senate to destroy immigration laws that exist on a Federal level.
SB54, the bill which intends to put a limit on communication and sharing of information from California's local and state law enforcement agencies to Federal agencies was passed Saturday morning; having the sole intent of granting Federal criminal illegal aliens immunity from United States Law.
What the bill does is bypass laws at the Federal level, and effectively tells branches of law enforcement in California that they do not have to cooperate with agencies such as United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or even the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to pass along identifying or potentially incriminating information of illegal aliens.
The new law also states that law enforcement agencies in California may no longer detain illegal alien criminals simply for immigration violations.
Many people forget that the moment an illegal alien crosses the border, for any reason, without the proper documentation; they are Federal Criminals.
With California State Law now being put on the books for outright avoidance of United States Law, is essentially Sedition and indefinitely would also be Obstruction of Justice, which makes the California State Legislature all criminal entities that have committed a form of Treason against America with the intent to Subvert the United States of America through Supersession.
national debt
Federal Criminals such as illegal aliens are both Foreign Invaders and Anarchists on the run because the moment they step into the United States they're here illegally making them fugitives from justice and thus anything else they do whilst inside of America is an illegal crime.
It's amazing that California, which touts its economy as some sort of force to be reckoned with, is actually holding more debt than any state of the Union in this great country with an estimated $1.7 trillion dollars in debt for the state; which somehow feels as if it can receive Federal Assistance to help feed, house, clothe, and rehabilitate illegal aliens while continuing to break Federal Laws.
This sort of means California views itself as some type of shadow government system.
The new bill which passed the State Senate is also known as the "California Values Act", with the final version passing the Democratic Majority State Senate by a vote of 27-11.
The bill will now head to Governor Jerry Brown's desk where he has promised to sign the new proposal.
In order for ICE to even question law enforcement agencies in California about whom they may or may not have in custody that could possibly be illegal, they'll now have to obtain a criminal warrant in order to do so, which will be next to impossible without probable cause.
What this means is, a criminal alien will have to literally kill someone on camera in California before Federal Agencies will even have the opportunity to question the suspect's immigration status.
It recognizes another law on California's books that protects illegal criminals, knows as the  "California Trust Act", which protects immigrant criminals, crime victims, and witnesses; by allegedly allowing them to be able to come forward and cooperate with police without fear of deportation.
California promoted the cultural Marxist TRUST Act as an effort to keep Federal Criminals from being deported who have committed specific crimes such as theft or assault and even a handful of felonies; by saying that those criminals won't be deported under the law.

Stop and think about that for a second. California says that Federal Criminals (illegal aliens are Federal Criminals the moment they enter the United States), can commit even more crimes while they're here illegally, and not worry about deportation.
California once tried using an example case of an Illegal Alien who was involved in a car crash, while driving a car without a license, and being at fault; as some sort of propaganda that she shouldn't be deported.
In those cases, however, you have a woman here in the United States of America illegally, driving a car illegally, putting the lives of Americans at risk; and then telling her it's okay if she crashes into someone's car while breaking multiple laws.
I mean really, how moronic does that sound to defend these criminals? It's outright pathetic.
The author of SB54, State Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León has since hailed SB54's passage as "a rejection of President Trump's false and cynical portrayal of undocumented residents as a lawless community."
SB54 fully bars law enforcement from detaining a person due to a hold request from ICE or responding to Federal Immigration Enforcement requests for notification about illegals who are incarcerated for other crimes by providing information about that criminal's release date to the Federal Agents unless that's already available publicly.
"Our precious local law enforcement resources will be squandered if police are pulled from their duties to arrest otherwise law-abiding maids, busboys, labors, mothers and fathers," said de León in a statement.
They mention mothers and fathers, who are already illegal federal criminal aliens, but they don't bother mentioning legal American citizens who are put at risk by those criminals even being free in America.
One of the opposition leaders to the bill, Republican State Senator Jeff Stone, from southwest Riverside County, argued on the floor that "while some undocumented workers don't commit crimes and play a vital role in California, that's not what SB54 addresses."
"We're prohibiting local and state unfettered communications with federal authorities in getting many dangerous and violent felons out of our communities," Stone said.
He said, "The latest amendments to the bill don't cover other serious crimes such as human trafficking, child abuse and assault with a deadly weapon."
California has gone rogue America, and in its defiance to the President of the United States of America and the United States Government and Constitution; Commiefornia has put us all at risk.
Something has to be done to reclaim California from the grips of its Communist leadership or check the state back into its role as part of our Union.

SaunaSaunas in holiday homes are small (usually made for 2 persons). A sauna is made out of wood, and resin can leak out from the wood, when the saune is new. The soft resin can cause burns.
Please do not bring coloured towels into the sauna, as they may transfer colour onto the wooden benches.
NB! If it is not specifically stated in the holiday home, please do not pour water on the sauna heater, as this may cause a short circuit and damage to the heating element of the oven.
